Forward Looking Statements
This annual report contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “intend,” “target” and words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;
statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;
statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and
estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.
These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this annual report.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:
our ability to manage our operations under current economic conditions nationally and in our market area;
adverse changes in the financial industry, securities, credit and national and local real estate markets (including real estate values);
significant increases in our loan losses, including as a result of our inability to resolve classified assets, and changes in management’s assumptions in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses;
credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and charge-offs and in our allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses;
competition among depository and other financial institutions;
our success in increasing our commercial business, commercial real estate and multifamily lending while maintaining our asset quality;
our success in introducing new financial products;
our ability to attract and maintain deposits;
our ability to retain customer accounts, achieve increased operating efficiencies and enhance profitability following the closing of underperforming branch offices;
changes in interest rates generally, including changes in the relative differences between short term and long term interest rates and in deposit interest rates, that may affect our net interest margin and funding sources;

1



fluctuations in the demand for loans, which may be affected by the number of unsold homes, land and other properties in our market areas and by declines in the value of real estate in our market area;
changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
further declines in the yield on our assets resulting from the current low interest rate environment;
risks related to a high concentration of loans secured by real estate located in our market area;
the results of examinations by our regulators, including the possibility that our regulators may, among other things, require us to increase our allowance for loan losses, write down assets, change our regulatory capital position, limit our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits;
changes in the level of government support of housing finance;
our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;
changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including the Dodd-Frank Act and the JOBS Act, which could result in, among other things, increased deposit insurance premiums and assessments, capital requirements (particularly the new capital regulations), and regulatory fees and compliance costs;
changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
changes in our compensation and benefit plans;
our ability to retain key members of our senior management team and to address staffing needs to respond to demand or to implement our strategic plans;
loan delinquencies and changes in the underlying cash flows of our borrowers;
our ability to control costs and expenses, particularly those associated with operating as a publicly traded company;
changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own;
the ability of third-party service providers to perform their obligations to us;
the availability, effectiveness and security of our information technology systems; and
other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and operational factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services described elsewhere in this annual report.
Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.
Westbury Bancorp, Inc.
Westbury Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Maryland on August 10, 2012 and became the savings and loan holding company for Westbury Bank (the “Bank”) following the consummation of the mutual-to-stock conversion of WBSB Bancorp, MHC, the Bank’s former mutual holding company, which was completed on April 9, 2013. The sole business of the Company is its ownership of the Bank. At September 30, 2015, we had total consolidated assets of $638.9 million, net loans of $493.4 million, total deposits of $531.0 million and stockholders' equity of $78.8 million.

In 2012, we elected to change our fiscal year from December 31 to September 30. Accordingly, information for periods prior to September 30, 2012 is presented at and for the fiscal years ended December 31. In order to provide comparative data in certain tables, we have included unaudited information for the year ended September 30, 2012 in addition to the audited information for the years ended September 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013 and the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Westbury Bank
Westbury Bank is a federally-chartered savings bank headquartered in West Bend, Wisconsin. Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public in our market area and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations, and borrowings, in commercial and multifamily real estate loans, one- to four-family residential real estate loans, commercial business loans, and, to a lesser extent, construction loans and consumer loans, including home equity lines of credit and automobile loans. A significant majority of our deposits are transaction accounts, which we believe are less susceptible to large-scale withdrawals as a result of changes in interest rates than certificates of deposit, and which we believe have a lower cost of funds over various interest rate cycles. We also purchase investment securities consisting primarily of securities issued by the United States government and its agencies and government-sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations issued by government-sponsored enterprises, municipal securities and corporate securities.
Market Area
We conduct business through our main office located in West Bend, Wisconsin, seven branch offices in West Bend, Brookfield, Germantown, Hartford, Jackson, Kewaskum and Slinger, Wisconsin, and a loan production office in Appleton, Wisconsin. We also operate one free-standing ATM in West Bend, Wisconsin at a location other than our branches. Our main office, six of our branches and our one free-standing ATM are located in Washington County, our Brookfield branch is located in Waukesha County and our Appleton loan production office is located in Outagamie County, Wisconsin. West Bend, Wisconsin is located in southeastern Wisconsin on the Highway 45 corridor, approximately 40 miles northwest of downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and approximately 75 miles northeast of Madison, Wisconsin.
Our primary market area consists of Washington and Waukesha Counties, Wisconsin. Although our current operations are not focused in Milwaukee County, we are affected by conditions in Milwaukee County because our loan portfolio includes loans that are secured by real estate or that have borrowers located in Milwaukee County. In addition, a number of our customers who reside in Washington or Waukesha Counties are employed in Milwaukee County, and the operations of our commercial customers depend in part on sales of products and services to individuals or other businesses located in Milwaukee County. Our primary market area includes small towns and rural communities, as well as the west and northwest suburbs of Milwaukee.
Lending Activities
Our principal lending activity is originating commercial real estate loans, one- to four-family residential real estate loans, multifamily loans, commercial business loans, and, to a lesser extent, construction loans and consumer loans, including home equity lines of credit and automobile loans. We also have a small portfolio of education loans, although we no longer originate education loans. In recent years, we have increased and, subject to market conditions and our asset-liability management analysis, expect to continue to increase our focus on commercial real estate, multifamily and commercial business lending, in an effort to maintain diversity in our overall loan portfolio and increase the overall yield earned on our loans. We also sell, in the secondary market, a significant portion of the longer-term (20 to 30 year) fixed-rate residential mortgage loans that we originate, on both a servicing-retained and servicing-released, non-recourse basis, while retaining shorter-term (10 to 15 year) fixed-rate residential mortgage loans and adjustable rate residential mortgage loans, in order to manage the maturity and time to repricing of our loan portfolio. We also originate FHA and VA loans for sale on a servicing-released basis.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. Pursuant to applicable law, the aggregate amount of loans that we are permitted to make to any one borrower or a group of related borrowers is generally limited to 15% of Westbury Bank’s unimpaired capital and surplus (25% if the amount in excess of 15% is secured by “readily marketable collateral” or 30% for certain residential development loans). At September 30, 2015, our largest credit relationship totaled $9.5 million and was secured by corporate assets including corporate owned life insurance. At September 30, 2015, this loan was performing in accordance with its terms. Our second largest relationship at this date was a $9.2 million loan secured by owner-occupied real estate in our market area. At September 30, 2015, this loan was performing in accordance with its terms. Both loans comply with our loans to one borrower limits at September 30, 2015.
Our lending is subject to written underwriting standards and origination procedures. Decisions on loan applications are made on the basis of detailed applications submitted by the prospective borrower and property valuations (consistent with our appraisal policy) prepared by outside independent licensed appraisers approved by our board of directors as well as internal evaluations, where permitted by regulations. The loan applications are designed primarily to gather information to allow us to determine the borrower’s ability to repay the requested loan, and the more significant items on the application are verified through use of credit reports, financial statements and tax returns.
Generally, we require title insurance on our mortgage loans as well as fire and extended coverage casualty insurance in amounts at least equal to the principal amount of the loan or the value of improvements on the property, depending on the type of loan. We also require flood insurance if the property is determined to be in a flood zone area.
Individual officers and employees do not have approval authority with respect to residential real estate loans. We use the Desktop Underwriter™ system for residential real estate loans, and any loans that are not approved under this system, and loans in excess of the current Fannie Mae eligibility guidelines, may only be approved by our management loan committee, which consists of our Chief Financial Officer, our Chief Credit Officer, our Senior Vice President of Operations, and the vice presidents in charge of underwriting, appraisals and collections. Our President, our Executive Vice President - Commercial Lending, our Chief Credit Officer and our Chief Financial Officer each have approval authority of up to $500,000 for commercial business, commercial real estate and multifamily lending relationships and up to $3,000 for unsecured consumer loans. Our other lending

6



personnel have approval authority of lesser amounts, up to a maximum of $250,000, depending on each person’s lending experience and the results of credit review of loans that they have approved over a period of time.
In addition, any two persons, one of whom reports directly to the other, may approve commercial business, commercial real estate and multifamily lending relationships up to the aggregate of their individual lending authorities. Our President, our Executive Vice President - Commercial Lending, our Chief Credit Officer and our Chief Financial Officer may, together, approve a commercial business, commercial real estate or multifamily lending relationship up to $1,000,000. Aggregate credit exposure to one borrower in excess of $1,000,000 must be approved by the directors’ loan committee, which consists of at least three independent directors. Our President, our Executive Vice President - Commercial Lending, our Chief Financial Officer and our Chief Credit Officer participate in directors’ loan committee meetings, but are not voting members of the committee. Approval of the directors’ loan committee requires the approval of all of the independent directors serving on the committee.
Commercial Real Estate and Multi-Family Lending. Consistent with our strategy to diversify our loan portfolio and increase our yield, we are focused on increasing our origination of commercial real estate and multifamily loans, with a target loan size of between $2.0 million to $8.0 million. At September 30, 2015, we had $268.7 million in commercial real estate and multifamily loans, representing 53.9% of our total loan portfolio compared to $211.5 million, or 50.2% of our total loan portfolio at September 30, 2014. Subject to future economic, market and regulatory conditions, we intend to engage in a disciplined increase in commercial real estate and multifamily lending in our market area.
Our fixed-rate commercial real estate and multifamily loans generally have initial terms of three to five years and amortization terms of 10-25 years for commercial real estate loans and 15-30 years for multifamily loans, with a balloon payment at the end of the initial term. Our adjustable rate commercial real estate and multifamily loans generally have initial terms of three to five years and a re-pricing option. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of our commercial real estate loans and multifamily loans is generally 75% and 80%, respectively, of the lower of cost or appraised value of the property securing the loan. Our commercial real estate loans are typically secured by retail, industrial, warehouse, service, medical or other commercial properties, and our multifamily loans are typically secured by apartment buildings.
Set forth below is information regarding our commercial real estate and multifamily loans, by industry, at September 30, 2015.

At September 30, 2015, the average loan balance of our outstanding commercial real estate and multifamily loans was $970,000, and the largest of such loans was a $9.2 million loan secured by owner-occupied real estate in our market area. This loan was performing in accordance with its original terms at September 30, 2015.
We consider a number of factors in originating commercial real estate and multifamily loans. We evaluate the qualifications and financial condition of the borrower, including project-level and global cash flows, credit history, and management expertise, as well as the value and condition of the property securing the loan. When evaluating the qualifications of the borrower, we consider the financial resources of the borrower, the borrower’s experience in owning or managing similar property and the borrower’s payment history with us and other financial institutions. In evaluating the property securing the loan, the factors we consider include the net operating income of the mortgaged property before debt service and depreciation, the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value of the mortgaged property and the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of net operating income to debt service). We generally require a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.20x for commercial real estate loans and 1.15x for multifamily loans. All commercial real estate and multifamily loans are appraised by outside independent appraisers approved by the Board of Directors. We also have an independent third party review of each appraisal, and conduct an internal valuation of any commercial real estate or multifamily property. We generally extend credit based upon the lowest valuation of the three methods.
Personal guarantees are generally obtained from the principals of commercial real estate and multifamily loans, although this requirement may be waived depending upon the loan-to-value ratio and the debt service ratio associated with the loan. We require borrowers to carry property and casualty insurance, and flood insurance if the property is determined to be in a flood zone area. In addition, all purchase-money and refinance borrowers are required to obtain title insurance.
Commercial and multifamily real estate loans entail greater credit risks compared to one- to four-family residential real estate loans because they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment of loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the property, as repayment of the loan generally is dependent, in large part, on sufficient income from the property to cover operating expenses and debt service. Changes in economic conditions that are not in the control of the borrower or lender could affect the value of the collateral for the loan or the future cash flow of the property. Additionally, any decline in real estate values may be more pronounced for commercial and multifamily real estate than residential properties.
One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending. The focus of our lending program was historically the origination of one- to four-family residential real estate loans. At September 30, 2015, we had $153.1 million of loans secured by one- to four-family real estate, representing 30.7% of our total loan portfolio. In addition, at September 30, 2015, we had $431,000 of residential mortgages held for sale. We originate fixed-rate and adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans and home equity loans. At September 30, 2015, 36.7% of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans due after 2016 were fixed-rate loans, and 63.3% of such loans were adjustable-rate loans.
Our fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans are generally underwritten according to Fannie Mae guidelines, and we refer to loans that conform to such guidelines as “conforming loans.” We generally originate both fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgage loans in amounts up to the maximum conforming loan limits as established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency for Fannie Mae, which as of September 30, 2015 was generally $417,000 for single-family homes in our market area. Substantially all of our home equity loans are adjustable-rate loans, and are originated in accordance with the same standards as one- to four-family residential loans. We also originate loans above the lending limit for conforming loans, which are referred to as “jumbo loans.” We also offer FHA and VA loans, all of which we originate for sale on a servicing-released, non-recourse basis in accordance with FHA and VA guidelines. Virtually all of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans are secured by properties located in our market area.
We generally limit the loan-to-value ratios of our mortgage loans to 80% of the sales price or appraised value, whichever is lower. On a limited basis, loans with a loan-to-value ratio of up to 90% may be made without

8



private mortgage insurance. In these cases, the borrower must have a credit score greater than 700 and a higher interest rate is charged commensurate with the higher risk. Loans with loan-to-value ratios up to 95% may be made when the borrower obtains private mortgage insurance.
Our fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans typically have terms of 10 to 30 years. Our adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans generally have fixed rates for initial terms of one, three, five or seven years, and adjust annually thereafter at a margin over an index. Our adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans carry terms to maturity ranging from 10 to 30 years.
Although adjustable-rate mortgage loans may reduce, to an extent, our vulnerability to changes in market interest rates because they periodically re-price, as interest rates increase the required payments due from the borrower also increase (subject to rate caps), increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the ability of the borrower to repay the loan and the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustments of the contractual interest rate are also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents. Moreover, the interest rates on our adjustable-rate loans may not adjust for up to seven years after origination. As a result, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgage loans in compensating for changes in general interest rates may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates.
We offer one- to four-family residential real estate loans, secured by non-owner occupied properties, exclusively for sale on a servicing-released, non-recourse basis. Generally, we require personal guarantees from the borrowers on these properties, and we will not make loans in excess of 80% loan to value on non-owner-occupied properties.
Home equity loans have greater risk than one- to four-family residential real estate loans secured by first mortgages. We face the risk that the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to compensate us for the amount of the unpaid loan and costs of foreclosure and we may be unsuccessful in recovering the remaining balance from those customers. Particularly with respect to our home equity loans, decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral. We do not extend home equity loans unless the combined loan-to-value ratio of the first mortgage and the home equity loan is 80% or less, except in cases where the borrower has a credit score greater than 700 where we may accept a loan-to-value ratio of 90% with a higher interest rate charged to the borrower commensurate with the higher risk.
We do not offer “interest only” mortgage loans on permanent one- to four-family residential real estate loans (where the borrower pays interest for an initial period, after which the loan converts to a fully amortizing loan). Until April 2012, we offered an interest-only home equity loan product with a term of five years and a balloon payment, but have since discontinued this product. We have approximately $1.2 million of these loans as of September 30, 2015, with an additional $1.3 million in unused commitments for these loans. We also do not offer loans that provide for negative amortization of principal, such as “Option ARM” loans, where the borrower can pay less than the interest owed on the loan, resulting in an increased principal balance during the life of the loan. We do not offer “subprime loans” on one-to four- family residential real estate loans (i.e., loans to borrowers with weakened credit histories typically characterized by payment delinquencies, previous charge-offs, judgments, bankruptcies, or borrowers with questionable repayment capacity as evidenced by low credit scores or high debt-burden ratios), or “Alt-A” loans (i.e., loans that generally target borrowers with better credit scores who borrow with alternative documentation such as little or no verification of income).
We also sell, in the secondary market, a significant portion of the longer-term (20 to 30 year) fixed-rate residential mortgage loans that we originate, on both a servicing-retained and servicing-released, non-recourse basis, while retaining shorter-term (10 to 15 year) fixed-rate residential mortgage loans and adjustable rate residential mortgage loans, in order to manage the maturity and time to repricing of our loan portfolio. We also originate FHA and VA loans for sale on a servicing-released basis. During the years ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, we sold $29.2 million and $13.3 million of residential mortgage loans, respectively. At September 30, 2015, we serviced a portfolio of $160.8 million of residential mortgage loans that we had originated and sold.

Commercial Business Lending. At September 30, 2015, we had $38.2 million of commercial business loans, representing 7.7% of our total loan portfolio. Our commercial business loans are generally term loans with terms of one to five years, and are generally made to businesses with between $3.0 million and $20.0 million in revenues operating in our market area for purchasing equipment, property improvements, business expansion or working capital, with a target loan size of between $1.0 million to $2.0 million. Our commercial business loans are generally secured by equipment, furniture and fixtures, inventory, accounts receivable or other business assets, or, in very limited circumstances, may be unsecured. If a commercial business loan is secured by equipment, we fix the maturity of a term loan to correspond to 80% of the useful life of equipment purchased or seven years, whichever is less. We also offer regular lines of credit and revolving lines of credit with terms of up to 12 months to finance short-term working capital needs such as accounts payable and inventory. Our commercial lines of credit are generally priced on an adjustable-rate basis and may be secured or, in very limited circumstances, unsecured. We generally obtain personal guarantees with commercial business loans.
We also offer commercial business loans utilizing the Small Business Administration’s ("SBA") various programs.  The loan guaranty provided under the SBA program reduces our credit risk.  In addition, the guaranteed portion of the credit can be sold in the secondary market generating fee income opportunities.  We face recourse liability on these loans if they do not meet all SBA requirements. We address this risk by utilizing a third-party SBA partner which specializes in underwriting, portfolio composition and servicing of SBA credit facilities. The Bank has Preferred Lender Status with the SBA. During the year ended September 30, 2015, we originated no SBA guaranteed commercial business loans. 
We typically originate commercial business loans on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business, the experience and stability of the borrower’s management team, earnings projections and the underlying assumptions, and the value and marketability of any collateral securing the loan. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself and the general economic environment in our market area. Therefore, commercial business loans that we originate have greater credit risk than one- to four-family residential real estate loans or, generally, consumer loans. In addition, commercial business loans often result in larger outstanding balances to single borrowers, or related groups of borrowers, and also generally require substantially greater evaluation and oversight efforts.

At September 30, 2015, the average loan balance of our outstanding commercial business loans was $316,000, and the largest outstanding balance of such loans was a $9.5 million loan secured by corporate assets including corporate owned life insurance. This loan was performing in accordance with its original terms at September 30, 2015.

We believe that commercial business loans will provide growth opportunities for us, and we expect to continue to increase, subject to our underwriting standards and market conditions, this business line in the future. We have recently hired seasoned commercial business lenders, which has increased our outstanding commercial loan balances and our pipeline of commercial business loan commitments.
Construction and Land Lending. At September 30, 2015, we had $18.8 million, or 3.8% of our total loan portfolio, in construction and land loans. Of these, $5.6 million were loans on vacant land held for development by individuals for their primary residences, $11.2 million were commercial construction and land development loans, and $2.0 million were loans for the construction by individuals of their primary residences. All $5.6 million of loans on vacant land were fully amortizing loans, with the borrower obligated to pay principal and interest. At September 30, 2015, our largest construction and land loan was a $3.6 million loan secured by a multifamily property in our market area. This loan was performing in accordance with its original terms at September 30, 2015.
Our residential construction loans generally have initial terms of 12 months (subject to extension), during which the borrower pays interest only. Upon completion of construction, these loans convert to conventional amortizing mortgage loans. Our residential construction loans have rates and terms comparable to one- to four-family residential real estate loans that we originate. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of our residential construction loans is generally 80% of the lesser of the appraised value of the completed property or the contract price for the land plus the value of the improvements, and up to 90% for loans where the borrower obtains private mortgage insurance. Residential construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating permanent residential mortgage loans, except that all residential construction loans are appraised by independent appraisers approved by the Board of Directors.
Our commercial and multifamily construction loans generally have initial terms of 6-12 months, during which the borrower pays interest only. Upon completion of construction, these loans convert to permanent loans. Our commercial and multifamily construction loans have rates and terms comparable to commercial real estate and multifamily loans that we originate. The maximum loan-to-value of our commercial and multifamily construction loans is 75% and 80%, respectively, of the lesser of the appraised value of the completed property or the contract price for the land plus the value of the improvements, and ranges from 40% to 75% for commercial construction and 40% to 80% for multifamily construction depending on the collateral and the purpose of the improvements upon completion of construction. Commercial and multifamily construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating permanent commercial real estate and multifamily loans.
To a lesser extent, we will make loans to developers for the construction and development of one- to four-family residential homes in our market area. Generally, no more than two such loans may be outstanding to one borrower at any time. These loans are originated pursuant to the same standards as, and generally have terms similar to, commercial and multifamily construction loans. We generally obtain personal guarantees for these loans.
All construction and land development loans are appraised by independent appraisers approved by the Board of Directors. All borrowers are required to obtain title insurance, property and casualty insurance, and, if the property is determined to be located in a flood zone area, flood insurance. The provider of title insurance on these loans inspects the properties for progress and authorizes all draws.
Construction financing generally involves greater credit risk than long-term financing on improved commercial real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction cost is inaccurate, we may be required to advance additional funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Moreover, if the estimated value of the completed project is inaccurate, the borrower may hold a property with a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment of the construction loan upon the sale of the property. Construction loans also expose us to the risk that improvements will not be completed on time in accordance with specifications and projected costs. In addition, the ultimate sale or rental of the property may not occur as anticipated.

Consumer Lending. At September 30, 2015, we had $19.5 million, or 3.9% of our loan portfolio, in consumer loans, including $14.9 million in home equity lines of credit, $4.1 million in education loans and $523,000 in other consumer loans.
Home Equity Lines of Credit. At September 30, 2015, we had $14.9 million, or 3.0% of our loan portfolio, in home equity lines of credit. Our home equity lines of credit are secured by residential property, and generally have no set maturity. We do not extend home equity lines of credit unless the combined loan-to-value ratio of the first mortgage and the line of credit is less than 80%. We offer fixed and variable rate home equity lines of credit, with variable rate home equity lines of credit bearing interest rates based upon the prime rate, subject to maximum rates. Unused commitments on home equity lines of credit were $26.2 million at September 30, 2015.
Home equity lines of credit have greater risk than one- to four-family residential real estate loans secured by first mortgages. We face the risk that the collateral may not be sufficient to compensate us for the amount of the unpaid loan and we may be unsuccessful in recovering the remaining balance from those customers. Particularly with respect to our home equity lines of credit, decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral.
At September 30, 2015, the average loan balance of our outstanding home equity lines of credit was $18,700. The largest outstanding balance of any such loan was $3.5 million. This loan was performing in accordance with its original terms at September 30, 2015. The borrower is a local commercial real estate loan customer; however, the residential property securing this loan is located out of our market area. Approximately 60% of our home equity lines of credit are secured by property where we also hold the first mortgage.
Other Consumer Loans. Consumer loans other than home equity lines of credit have either a variable or fixed-rate of interest for a term of up to 72 months, depending on the type of collateral and the creditworthiness of the borrower. Our consumer loans may be secured by deposits, automobiles, boats, motorcycles or recreational vehicles, and loans of up to $3,000 may be unsecured.
Our education loans are all insured by Sallie Mae. We no longer originate education loans.
Consumer loans generally have shorter terms to maturity, which reduces our exposure to changes in interest rates. In addition, management believes that offering consumer loan products helps to expand and create stronger ties to our existing customer base by increasing the number of customer relationships and providing cross-marketing opportunities.
Consumer loans generally have greater risk compared to longer-term loans secured by improved real estate, particularly unsecured loans and consumer loans that are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In these cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance. As a result, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing

12



financial stability and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.

Originations, Purchases and Sales of Loans
We originate real estate and other loans through employee marketing and advertising efforts, our existing customer base, walk-in customers and referrals from customers and service providers, such as real estate brokers, builders and attorneys. All loans that we originate are underwritten pursuant to our policies and procedures.
We may sell a certain amount of the loans we originate into the secondary market and in recent years, based upon our interest rate risk analysis, we have sold a portion of the fixed-rate, one- to four-family residential real estate loans that we originated for sale to Fannie Mae on a servicing-retained basis. We are also approved to sell to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago and Freddie Mac but have not sold to them in recent years. We also originate residential mortgage loans for sale on a servicing-released basis where the interest rates available are more advantageous to our customer than those available from Fannie Mae or the customer requires other terms that we are not prepared to offer on a servicing-retained basis or in our loan portfolio. In addition, all FHA and VA loans and one- to four-family residential loans secured by non-owner-occupied properties are originated for sale in the secondary market on a servicing-released basis. Otherwise, we consider our balance sheet as well as market conditions on an ongoing basis in making decisions as to whether to hold the mortgage loans we originate for investment or to sell such loans to investors, choosing the strategy that is most advantageous to us from a profitability and risk management standpoint. For the year ended September 30, 2015, we sold $286,000 of mortgage loans on a servicing-retained basis and $28.9 million of mortgage loans on a servicing-released basis and for the year ended September 30, 2014, we sold $133,000 of mortgage loans on a servicing-retained basis and $13.2 million of mortgage loans on a servicing-released basis. At September 30, 2015, we serviced $160.8 million of fixed-rate, one- to four-family residential real estate loans that we originated and sold in the secondary market.
From time to time, we may purchase commercial loan participations secured by properties within and outside of our primary lending market area in which we are not the lead lender. In these circumstances, we follow our customary loan underwriting and approval policies. We generally only purchase loan participations from banks with which we have an ongoing relationship and which purchase loan participations from us in return. We held $9.6 million of loan participations purchased in our loan portfolio and serviced $29.6 million of loan participations sold at September 30, 2015.
Delinquencies and Non-Performing Assets
Delinquency Procedures. When a borrower fails to make a required monthly payment on a residential real estate loan, we attempt to contact the borrower to determine the reason for nonpayment and to discuss future payments. Our policies provide that a late notice be sent when a loan is 15 days past due. Once the loan is considered in default, generally at 30 days past due, a letter is sent to the borrower explaining that the entire balance of the loan is due and payable, and additional efforts are made to contact the borrower. A demand letter is mailed at 60 days past due giving the borrower 30 days to bring the account current. If the borrower does not respond, we generally initiate foreclosure proceedings when the loan is 120 days past due. If the loan is reinstated, foreclosure proceedings will be discontinued and the borrower will be permitted to continue to make payments. In certain instances, we may modify the loan or grant a limited exemption from loan payments to allow the borrower to reorganize his or her financial affairs. We attempt to work with our borrowers to establish a repayment schedule that will cure the delinquency in a timely manner based on full financial review.
When we acquire real estate as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the real estate is classified as foreclosed real estate until it is sold. The real estate is recorded at estimated fair value at the date of acquisition less estimated costs to sell, and any write-down resulting from the acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Estimated fair value is based on a new appraisal which is obtained as soon as practicable, typically after the foreclosure process is completed. Subsequent decreases in the value of the property are charged to

13



operations. After acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the property are expensed. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property, however, are capitalized up to the estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.
Delinquent consumer loans are handled in a similar fashion. Our procedures for repossession and sale of consumer collateral are subject to various requirements under applicable laws, including consumer protection. In addition, we may determine that foreclosure and sale of such collateral would not be cost-effective for us.
Delinquent commercial business, commercial real estate, construction and multifamily loans are initially handled by the loan officer responsible for the origination of the loan. Our collections department works with the loan officer to ensure that the necessary steps are taken to collect on delinquent loans, including the mailing of delinquency notices. A collection officer takes over any delinquent loan once the loan is 30 days past due, and that collection officer handles any additional collection procedures, including letters from our attorneys. If we cannot reach an acceptable workout of a delinquent commercial business, commercial real estate, construction or multifamily loan between 30 and 60 days of the due date of the first missed payment, we generally initiate foreclosure or repossession proceedings on any collateral securing the loan.

The general decrease in delinquent loans at September 30, 2015 was attributable to our ongoing efforts to improve credit quality and the overall improvement in economic conditions over the past year.

Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered by the FDIC to be of lesser quality, as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss.” An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered

16



“uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. Assets which do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are designated as “special mention” by our management.
When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, after reviewing the assets for impairment, it may establish specific allowances in an amount deemed prudent by management to cover probable losses. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as “loss,” it is required to charge-off such amount. An institution’s determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the regulatory authorities, which may require the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.
In connection with the filing of our periodic reports and in accordance with our classification of assets policy, we regularly review the problem loans in our portfolio to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. Loans are listed on the “watch list” initially because of financial weaknesses even though the loan is currently performing as agreed, or delinquency status. Management reviews the status of each impaired loan on our watch list on a quarterly basis with the directors’ loan committee and then with the full Board of Directors. If a loan deteriorates in asset quality, the classification is changed to “special mention,” “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss” depending on the circumstances and the evaluation. Generally, loans 90 days or more past due are placed on nonaccrual status and classified “substandard.”

Includes $385,000, $727,000, $2.2 million, $3.7 million and $4.4 million respectively, at September 30, 2015, September 30, 2014, September 30, 2013, September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011 of homogenous one- to four-family real estate mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit and other

consumer loans that were not, at those dates, subject to detailed internal evaluation or formally risk-rated by the Bank, but that were, at such dates, 90 or more days past due and not covered by private mortgage insurance, and, in accordance with internal policy, are included herein as substandard because the loans are non-performing.
(2)
Represents municipal bonds classified as substandard as a result of downgraded ratings issued by the ratings agencies.

The decrease in classified assets from September 30, 2014 to September 30, 2015 was primarily due to our ongoing efforts to improve credit quality and resolve problem credits in a timely, cost-effective manner. The increase in substandard performing loans was the result of the downgrade of a commercial and industrial loan relationship totaling $1.6 million. The decrease in substandard non-performing loans was primarily the result of the payoff of several commercial real estate loans, primarily through refinancing at another financial institution. The decrease in foreclosed real estate was the result of loans transferred to foreclosed properties of $519,000, offset by sales of $2.0 million of properties and valuation adjustments of $609,000 for the year ended September 30, 2015.
Non-Performing Assets. Non-performing assets decreased to $1.1 million, or 0.17% of total assets, at September 30, 2015 from $3.8 million, or 0.67% of total assets, at September 30, 2014. General economic conditions, including the profitability of commercial enterprises, declines in real estate values and excess inventory in housing markets, were the primary cause of elevated levels of delinquencies and foreclosures in our real estate loan portfolio through 2011. Improvement in economic and market conditions since 2011 and our enhanced efforts focused on loan collection and problem loan resolution have led to improvements in delinquencies and foreclosed assets. At September 30, 2015, $13,000, or 1.6%, of total nonaccrual loans were current on their loan payments.
We generally cease accruing interest on our loans when contractual payments of principal or interest have become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is applied against principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.
Troubled debt restructurings are loans that have renegotiated loan terms to assist borrowers who are unable to meet the original terms of their loans, with modifications to loan terms including a lower interest rate, a reduction in principal, or a longer term to maturity. We generally do not forgive principal or interest on loans. We may modify the terms of loans to lower interest rates (which may be at below market rates), to provide for longer amortization schedules (up to 40 years), or to provide for interest-only terms. These modifications are made only when there is a reasonable and attainable workout plan that has been agreed to by the borrower and that is in our best interests.Troubled debt restructurings are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the revised contractual terms for six months and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is deemed probable. At September 30, 2015, we had six loans totaling $3.1 million that were classified as troubled debt restructurings. Of these, none were included in our non-accrual loans at such date as they have been performing for at least six consecutive months under the modified loan terms and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest has been deemed probable.


19



The following table sets forth information regarding our non-performing assets and troubled debt restructurings at the dates indicated. The information reflects net charge-offs but not specific reserves. Troubled debt restructurings include where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and loans for which either a portion of interest or principal has been forgiven or an extension of term granted, or for loans modified at interest rates less than current market rates.

Includes $0, $195,000, $5.4 million, $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of troubled debt restructurings that were on non-accrual status at September 30, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012, and December 31, 2011.

Interest income that would have been recorded for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 had non-accruing loans been current according to their original terms amounted to $31,000 and $78,000, respectively. Interest of approximately $8,000 and $13,000 related to these loans was included in interest income for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

20



Non-performing one- to four-family residential real estate loans totaled $340,000 at September 30, 2015 and consisted of five loans, of which the largest totaled $145,000. There were no non-performing commercial real estate loans at September 30, 2015. Other non-performing loans totaled $463,000 at September 30, 2015.
Foreclosed real estate totaled $283,000 at September 30, 2015, including $194,000 of commercial real estate properties and $89,000 of one- to four-family residential properties.
At September 30, 2015, our largest non-performing loan relationship was a home equity line of credit loan totaling $157,000 secured by a personal residence.
Other Loans of Concern. There were no other loans at September 30, 2015 that are not already disclosed where there is information about possible credit problems of borrowers that caused management to have serious doubts about the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and that may result in disclosure of such loans in the future.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Loan Losses. Our allowance for loan losses is the amount considered necessary to reflect probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio. We evaluate the need to establish allowances against losses on loans on a quarterly basis. When additional allowances are necessary, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings.
Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses consists of two key elements: (1) specific allowances for identified impaired loans; and (2) a general valuation allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio. Although we determine the amount of each element of the allowance separately, the entire allowance for loan losses is available for the entire portfolio.
We identify loans that may need to be charged off as a loss by reviewing all delinquent loans, classified loans, and other loans about which management may have concerns about collectability. For individually reviewed loans, the borrower’s inability to make payments under the terms of the loan as well as the shortfall in collateral value would result in our charging off the loan or the portion of the loan that was determined to be a loss.
Among other factors, we consider current general economic conditions in determining the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses for our residential real estate portfolio. We use evidence obtained from our own loan portfolio as well as published housing data on our local markets from third party sources we believe to be reliable as a basis for assumptions about the impact of the current housing market.
Substantially all of our loans are secured by collateral. Loans 90 days past due and other classified loans are evaluated for impairment and general or specific allowances are established. Typically for a nonperforming real estate loan in the process of collection, the value of the underlying collateral is estimated using the original independent appraisal, adjusted for current economic conditions and other factors, and related general or specific reserves are adjusted on a quarterly basis. If a nonperforming real estate loan is in the process of foreclosure and/or there are serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, and there is uncertainty about the value of the underlying collateral, we will order a new independent appraisal. Any shortfall would result in immediately charging off the portion of the loan that was determined to be a loss.
Specific Allowances for Identified Problem Loans. We establish a specific allowance when a loan is determined to be impaired. Loss is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling expenses. Factors in identifying a specific problem loan include: (1) the strength of the customer’s personal or business cash flows; (2) the availability of other sources of repayment; (3) the amount due or past due; (4) the type and value of collateral; (5) the strength of our collateral position; (6) the estimated cost to sell the collateral; and (7) the borrower’s effort to cure the delinquency. In addition, for loans secured by real estate, we consider the amount of any past due and unpaid property taxes applicable to the property serving as collateral on the mortgage.

21



General Valuation Allowance on the Remainder of the Loan Portfolio. We establish a general allowance for loans that are not classified as impaired to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. This general valuation allowance is determined by segregating the loans by loan category and assigning allowance percentages based on our historical loss experience, delinquency trends and management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio. The allowance may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. These significant factors include changes in lending policies and procedures, changes in existing general economic and business conditions affecting our primary market area, credit quality trends, collateral value, loan volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, duration of the current business cycle and bank regulatory examination results. The applied loss factors are re-evaluated quarterly to ensure their relevance in the current economic environment.

At September 30, 2015, our allowance for loan losses represented 0.92% of total loans and 572.60% of non-performing loans whereas at September 30, 2014, our allowance for loan losses represented 0.97% of total loans and 284.76% of non-performing loans. The decrease in non-performing loans to $803,000 at September 30, 2015 from $1.4 million at September 30, 2014, without a significant amount of charge-offs to the allowance for loan losses, resulted in the improvement in the ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans. We recorded $424,000 and $744,000 in net charge-offs during the years ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively.

Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary and results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations. Because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, the existing allowance for loan losses may not be adequate and management may determine that increases in the allowance are necessary if the quality of any portion of our loan portfolio deteriorates as a result. Furthermore, as an integral part of its examination process, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), the Bank's primary regulator, will periodically review our allowance for loan losses. The OCC may require that we increase our allowance based on its judgments of information available to it at the time of its examination. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Investment Activities
General. The goals of our investment policy are to provide and maintain liquidity to meet deposit withdrawal and loan funding needs, to help mitigate interest rate and market risk, and to generate a reasonable rate of return on funds within the context of our interest rate and credit risk objectives. Subject to loan demand and our interest rate risk analysis, we will increase the balance of our investment securities portfolio when we have excess liquidity.
Our board of directors is responsible for adopting our investment policy. The investment policy is reviewed annually by management and any changes to the policy are recommended to and subject to the approval of the board of directors. Authority to make investments under the approved investment policy guidelines is delegated to our Chief Financial Officer and our President and Chief Executive Officer. All investment transactions are reviewed at regularly scheduled monthly meetings of the board of directors.

25



Our current investment policy permits, with certain limitations, investments in United States Treasury securities with maturities up to 10 years; securities issued by the United States Government and its agencies or government sponsored enterprises with maturities up to 10 years; step-up coupon securities issued by government sponsored enterprises with maturities up to 15 years; pass-through mortgage-backed securities (MBS) issued by Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae and Freddie Mac with an average life up to seven years secured by either single family or multifamily loans; collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO) with an average life up to seven years that are secured by MBS issued by Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae or Freddie Mac; municipal tax, revenue, and bond anticipation notes issued by Wisconsin municipalities and general obligation municipal notes and bonds with maturities up to 20 years; AAA (insured) essential service municipal revenue notes and bonds issued by non-Wisconsin municipalities with maturities up to 20 years; corporate notes and bonds issued by U.S. corporations with maturities up to ten years; reverse repurchase agreements with maturities up to one year; certificates of deposit issued in the U.S. by U.S. banks with maturities up to seven years; bank notes and banker’s acceptances with maturities up to one year; Fed funds sold to U.S. banks; and equity investments in the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago or acquired in foreclosure, settlement or workout of debts previously contracted.
Prior to any investment, certain instruments must be subject to a price sensitivity test using either our internal interest rate simulation model or a model available from a reputable third party other than the broker or dealer selling the instrument. These instruments are fixed rate instruments (other than mortgage-related instruments) with maturities greater than 10 years; mortgage-related securities with maturities greater than two years; floating rate instruments with caps or floors; floating rate instruments with coupon rates tied to or inversely related to an index; and securities that are continuously callable or have more than one call date. None of these instruments may be acquired if the change in price exceeds, generally, an increase of 10% to 25% resulting from changes in interest rates of -100 bp to -300 bp, or a decrease of -5% to -20% resulting from changes in interest rates of +100 bp to +300 bp.
Our investment policy does not permit investment in stripped mortgage-backed securities; CMOs secured by mortgage assets not backed by the credit support of a U.S. government agency; floating rate derivatives; CMO residual or “Z tranche” bonds; long-term zero coupon bonds; complex securities and derivatives as defined in federal banking regulations; and other high-risk securities that do not pass the interest rate sensitivity tests set forth in our investment policy. Our current policy does not permit hedging activities, such as futures, options or swap transactions; coupon stripping; gains trading; short sales; securities lending; “when issued” securities trading; “pair-offs”; corporate or extended settlements other than in the normal course of business; repositioning repurchase agreements; purchasing securities on margin; or trading with the intent to capture changes in price over 60 days or less.
Our investment policy also requires that certain investment instruments be rated, and that our investment portfolio be appropriately diversified. At September 30, 2015, none of the collateral underlying our securities portfolio was considered subprime or Alt-A, and we did not hold any common or preferred stock issued by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae.
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations. At September 30, 2015, we had U.S. government and agency securities with a carrying value of $25,000, which constituted 0.03% of our securities portfolio. While these securities generally provide lower yields than other investments in our securities investment portfolio, we maintain these investments, to the extent appropriate, for liquidity purposes, as collateral for borrowings and for prepayment protection.
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities. At September 30, 2015, we had residential mortgage-backed securities with a carrying value of $39.7 million, which constituted 48.0% of our securities portfolio. Mortgage-backed securities are securities issued in the secondary market that are collateralized by pools of one- to four-family mortgages. The issuers of such securities pool and resell the participation interests in the form of securities to investors such as Westbury Bank. The interest rate of the security is lower than the interest rates of the underlying loans to allow for payment of servicing and guaranty fees. All of our residential mortgage-backed securities are

26



either backed by Ginnie Mae, a United States Government agency, or government-sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Residential mortgage-backed securities issued by United States Government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises are more liquid than individual mortgage loans because there is an active trading market for such securities. In addition, residential mortgage-backed securities may be used to collateralize our borrowings. Investments in residential mortgage-backed securities involve a risk that actual payments will be greater or less than the prepayment rate estimated at the time of purchase, which may require adjustments to the amortization of any premium or accretion of any discount relating to such interests, thereby affecting the net yield on our securities. Current prepayment speeds determine whether prepayment estimates require modification that could cause amortization or accretion adjustments.
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMO). At September 30, 2015, we had CMOs with a carrying value of $1.9 million, which constituted 2.3% of our securities portfolio. CMOs issued by United States Government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises are also more liquid than individual mortgage loans because there is an active trading market for such securities. In addition, CMOs may be used to collateralize our borrowings. Investments in CMOs involve a risk that actual payments will be greater or less than the prepayment rate estimated at the time of purchase, which may require adjustments to the amortization of any premium or accretion of any discount relating to such interests, thereby affecting the net yield on our securities. However, they are generally less susceptible to prepayment risk than mortgage-backed securities as they are structured to provide a more predictable payment stream to the holder of the CMO. Current prepayment speeds determine whether prepayment estimates require modification that could cause amortization or accretion adjustments. All of our CMOs are either backed by Ginnie Mae, a United States Government agency, or government-sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities. At September 30, 2015, we had commercial mortgage-backed securities with a carrying value of $14.1 million, which constituted 17.0% of our securities portfolio. Commercial mortgage-backed securities are securities issued in the secondary market that are collateralized by pools of multifamily mortgages. The issuers of such securities pool and resell the participation interests in the form of securities to investors such as Westbury Bank. The interest rate of the security is lower than the interest rates of the underlying loans to allow for payment of servicing and guaranty fees. All of our commercial mortgage-backed securities are either backed by Ginnie Mae, a United States Government agency, or government-sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Municipal Securities. At September 30, 2015, we had municipal securities available for sale with a carrying value of $21.7 million and municipal securities held to maturity with a carrying value of $2.5 million which constituted 26.2% and 3.0% of our securities portfolio, respectively. Most of our current municipal securities are issued by Wisconsin municipalities and have maturities not in excess of 12 years. These securities generally provide slightly higher yields than U.S. government and agency securities and mortgage-backed securities, but are not as liquid as such other investments, so we typically maintain investments in municipal securities, to the extent appropriate, for generating returns in our investment portfolio.
Corporate Securities. At September 30, 2015, we had corporate securities with a carrying value of $2.9 million, which constituted 3.5% of our securities portfolio. The corporate securities we own are issued by well-known national companies and have maturities not in excess of ten years. These securities generally provide higher yields than U.S. government and agency securities and mortgage-backed securities, but are not as liquid as such other investments, so we typically maintain investments in corporate securities, to the extent appropriate, for generating returns in our investment portfolio.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. We hold common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago totaling $3.4 million at September 30, 2015. The Federal Home Loan Bank common stock is carried at cost and classified as restricted equity securities. We may be required to purchase additional Federal Home Loan Bank stock if we increase borrowings in the future.

Securities Portfolio Maturities and Yields. The following table sets forth the stated maturities and weighted average yields of our securities at September 30, 2015. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Mortgage-backed securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations, are anticipated to be repaid in advance of their contractual maturities as a result of projected mortgage loan repayments. In addition, under the structure of some of our CMOs, the short- and intermediate-term tranche interests have repayment priority over the longer term tranche interests of the same underlying mortgage pool. Some of our U.S. Government and agency securities are callable at the option of the issuer. Yields on our tax-exempt securities are presented on a tax-equivalent basis. Certain securities have interest rates that are adjustable and will reprice annually within the various maturity ranges. These repricing schedules have not been reflected in the table below.

Sources of Funds

General. Deposits have traditionally been our primary source of funds for use in lending and investment activities. We also use borrowings, primarily Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago advances, to supplement cash flow needs, lengthen the maturities of liabilities for interest rate risk purposes and to manage the cost of funds. In addition, we receive funds from scheduled loan payments, investment maturities and sales, loan prepayments, retained earnings and income on earning assets. While scheduled loan payments and income on interest-earning assets are relatively stable sources of funds, deposit inflows and outflows can vary widely and are influenced by prevailing interest rates, market conditions and levels of competition. To a lesser extent, we may utilize repurchase agreements or Fed funds sold as funding sources.
Deposits. Our deposits are generated primarily from residents within our primary market area. We offer a selection of deposit accounts, including non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing checking accounts, passbook and statement savings accounts, variable rate money market accounts, and certificates of deposit. A significant majority

29



of our deposits are transaction accounts, which we believe are less susceptible than certificates of deposit to large-scale withdrawals as a result of changes in interest rates. At September 30, 2015, our core deposits, which are deposits other than time deposits and certificates of deposit, were $408.8 million, representing 77.0% of total deposits. Deposit account terms vary, with the principal differences being the minimum balance required, the amount of time the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate. We have not in the past, and currently do not, hold any brokered deposits. We do generate certificates of deposit using QwickrateTM and National CD RatelineTM, both of which are Internet-based deposit rate listing services, as alternative funding sources. These outlets also serve to support our contingency funding plan. At September 30, 2015, certificates of deposit generated via these alternative funding sources totaled $45.4 million, or 8.5% of our total deposit balances.
In recent years, we have relied for deposit generation on promotional programs and advertising efforts, our reputation in the community for superior customer service, the variety of deposit accounts that we offer, our competitive rates, customer referrals, and cross-marketing efforts with loan customers. We may use promotional rates to meet asset/liability and market segment goals. We intend to continue to focus on increasing our core deposits by providing incentives on new transaction accounts, enhanced online and mobile services, remote deposit capture services, and by leveraging commercial lending relationships to increase transaction accounts.
Interest rates, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established on a periodic basis. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current operating strategies and market rates, liquidity requirements, rates paid by competitors and growth goals. The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in interest rates and competition. The variety of deposit accounts that we offer allows us to be competitive in generating deposits and to respond with flexibility to changes in our customers’ demands. Our ability to gather deposits is impacted by the competitive market in which we operate, which includes numerous financial institutions of varying sizes offering a wide range of products. We believe that deposits are a stable source of funds, but our ability to attract and maintain deposits at favorable rates will be affected by market conditions, including competition and prevailing interest rates as consumers become more conscious of interest rates.
The following table sets forth the distribution of total deposits by account type, for the periods indicated.

Borrowings. We may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago upon the security of our capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago and certain of our mortgage loans. Such advances may be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. To the extent such borrowings have different terms to repricing than our deposits, they can change our interest rate risk profile. At September 30, 2015, we had $18.0 million of outstanding advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. At September 30, 2015, based on available collateral and our ownership of FHLB stock, and based upon our internal policy, we had access to additional Federal Home Loan Bank advances of up to $94.2 million, and an additional $10.0 million in overnight advances with our correspondent bank.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
General
As a federal savings association, Westbury Bank is subject to examination and regulation by the OCC, and is also subject to examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The federal system of regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which Westbury Bank may engage and is intended primarily for the protection of depositors and the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund, and not for the protection of security holders. Under this system of federal regulation, financial institutions are periodically examined to ensure that they satisfy applicable standards with respect to their capital adequacy, assets, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market interest rates. Westbury Bank also is regulated to a lesser extent by the Federal Reserve Board, which governs the reserves to be maintained against deposits and other matters. Westbury Bank must comply with consumer protection regulations issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Westbury Bank also is a member of and owns stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, which is one of the twelve regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System. The OCC examines Westbury Bank and prepares reports for the consideration of its Board of Directors on any operating deficiencies. Westbury Bank’s relationship with its depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by federal law and, to a much lesser extent, state law, especially in matters concerning the ownership of deposit accounts, the form and content of Westbury Bank’s loan documents and certain consumer protection matters.
As a savings and loan holding company, Westbury Bancorp, Inc. is subject to examination and supervision by, and is required to file certain reports with, the Federal Reserve Board. Westbury Bancorp, Inc. is also subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws.
Set forth below are certain material regulatory requirements that are applicable to Westbury Bank and its holding company, Westbury Bancorp, Inc. This description of statutes and regulations is not intended to be a complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effects on Westbury Bank or Westbury Bancorp, Inc. Any change in these laws or regulations, whether by Congress or the applicable regulatory agencies, could have a material adverse impact on Westbury Bancorp, Inc., Westbury Bank and their operations.
Dodd-Frank Act
The Dodd-Frank Act made significant changes to the regulatory structure for depository institutions and their holding companies. However, the Dodd-Frank Act’s changes go well beyond that and affect the lending, investments and other operations of all depository institutions. The Dodd-Frank Act required the Federal Reserve Board to set minimum capital levels for both bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies that are as stringent as those required for the insured depository subsidiaries, and the components of Tier 1 capital for holding companies were restricted to capital instruments that were then currently considered to be Tier 1 capital for insured depository institutions. The legislation also established a floor for capital of insured depository institutions that cannot be lower than the standards in effect upon passage, and directed the federal banking regulators to implement new leverage and capital requirements that take into account off-balance sheet activities and other risks, including risks relating to securitized products and derivatives.
The Dodd-Frank Act created a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions such as Westbury Bank, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has examination and enforcement authority over all banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets. Banks and savings institutions with $10 billion or less in assets are still examined for compliance by their applicable bank regulators. The new legislation also weakened the federal preemption available for national banks and federal savings associations, and gave state attorneys general the ability to enforce applicable federal consumer protection laws.

34



The Dodd-Frank Act broadened the base for FDIC insurance assessments. Assessments are now based on the average consolidated total assets less tangible equity capital of a financial institution, rather than on total deposits. The legislation also permanently increased the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks, savings institutions and credit unions to $250,000 per depositor. The Dodd-Frank Act increased stockholder influence over boards of directors by requiring companies to give stockholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation and so-called “golden parachute” payments. The legislation also directs the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to bank holding company executives, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded or not. Further, the legislation requires that originators of securitized loans retain a percentage of the risk for transferred loans, directs the Federal Reserve Board to regulate pricing of certain debit card interchange fees and contains a number of reforms related to mortgage origination.
The Dodd-Frank Act also required the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to issue regulations requiring lenders to make a reasonable good faith determination as to a prospective borrower’s ability to repay a residential mortgage loan. The final “Ability to Repay” rules, which were effective January 4, 2013, established a “qualified mortgage” safe harbor for loans whose terms and features are deemed to make the loan less risky. In addition, on October 3, 2015, the new TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rules for mortgage closings took effect for new loan applications. These new loan forms may have the effect of lengthening the time it takes to approve mortgage loans in the short term following implementation of the rule.
Some provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act involved delayed effective dates and/or require implementing regulations or have not been issued in final form. Their full impact on our operations cannot yet fully be assessed. However, the Dodd-Frank Act has resulted in increased compliance and operating expense for Westbury Bank and the Company.
Agreements with Regulators
Federal Reserve Bank. On April 28, 2014, the Company received correspondence from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago noting that it had no objection to the termination of a Board resolution which required the Company to receive prior written non-objection from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago to declare or pay dividends, issue debt or redeem Company stock. The Board of Directors terminated the resolution at its May 2014 meeting.
The Company had been subject to the Board Resolution since September 20, 2013, and the Company and its predecessors, WBSB Bancorp, MHC and WBSB Bancorp, Inc., had been subject to a memorandum of understanding that imposed similar restrictions from February 2010 until the memorandum of understanding was superseded by the Board Resolution on September 20, 2013.
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. On January 6, 2014, the Company received notification from the OCC that the Formal Written Agreement and Individual Minimum Capital Requirement ("IMCR") between the OCC and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Westbury Bank had been terminated effective December 24, 2013. The Bank had been subject to the Formal Written Agreement since October 29, 2012 and to a memorandum of understanding that the Formal Written Agreement superseded since February 2010. The Bank had been subject to the IMCR since November 5, 2012. As a result of the termination of the Formal Written Agreement, the Bank is no longer designated as in “troubled condition” and is designated as an “eligible institution” with respect to expedited processing of applications that it might file. Accordingly, the Bank is no longer required to obtain the approval of the OCC prior to effecting changes in its directors or executive officers, and is no longer subject to restrictions on executive compensation or the declaration or payment of dividends.

Federal Banking Regulation
Business Activities. A federal savings association derives its lending and investment powers from the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended, and applicable federal regulations. Under these laws and regulations, Westbury Bank may invest in mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial real estate, commercial

35



business and consumer loans, certain types of debt securities and certain other assets, subject to applicable limits. The Dodd-Frank Act authorized, for the first time, the payment of interest on commercial checking accounts. Westbury Bank may also establish subsidiaries that may engage in certain activities not otherwise permissible for Westbury Bank, including real estate investment and securities and insurance brokerage.
Capital Requirements. The federal banking agencies have adopted new regulations that implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act.
Effective January 1, 2015 (with some changes transitioned into full effectiveness over two to four years), the Bank became subject to new capital requirements adopted by the OCC. These new requirements created a new required ratio for common equity Tier 1 ("CETI") capital, increased the leverage and Tier 1 capital ratios, changed the risk weight of certain assets for purposes of the risk-based capital ratios, created an additional capital conservation buffer over the required capital ratios and changed what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting these various capital requirements. Beginning in 2016, failure to maintain the required capital conservation buffer will limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends or pay discretionary bonuses. The Company is exempt from consolidated capital requirements as those requirements do not apply to certain small savings and loan holding companies with assets under $1 billion.

Under the new capital regulations, the minimum capital ratios are: (1) CETI capital ratio of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets; (2) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% of risk-weighted assets: (3) a total capital ratio of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets; and (4) a leverage ratio of 4.0%. CETI generally consists of common stock and retained earnings, subject to applicable regulatory adjustments and deductions.

There are a number of changes in what constitutes regulatory capital, some of which are subject to transition periods. These changes include the phasing-out of certain instruments as qualifying capital. The Bank does not use any of these instruments. Under the new requirements for total capital, Tier 2 capital is no longer limited to the amount of Tier 1 capital included in total capital. Mortgage servicing rights, certain deferred tax assets and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries over designated percentages of CETI will be deducted from capital. The Bank has elected to permanently opt-out of the inclusion of accumulated other comprehensive income in our capital calculations, as permitted by the regulations. This opt-out will reduce the impact of market volatility on our regulatory capital levels.

The new requirements also include changes in the risk-weights of assets to better reflect credit risk and other risk exposures. These include a 150% risk weight (increased 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 non-accrual status; a 20% (increased 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 cancellable; a 250% risk weight (increased from 100%) for mortgage servicing and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital; and increased risk weights (0% to 600%) for equity exposures.

In addition to the minimum CETI, Tier 1 and total capital ratios, the Bank will have to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CETI capital greater than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends or paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. This new capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increasing each year until fully implemented in January 2019.

The OCC's prompt corrective action standards changed effective January 1, 2015. Under the new standards, in order to be considered well-capitalized, the Bank must have a CETI ratio of 6.5% (new), a Tier 1 ratio of 8.0% (increased from 6.0%), a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% (unchanged) and a leverage ratio of 5.0% (unchanged). The Bank meets all these new requirements, including the full capital conservation buffer.


36



At September 30, 2015, the Bank’s capital exceeded all applicable requirements and is considered "well-capitalized".
Loans-to-One Borrower. Generally, a federal savings association may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be loaned, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which generally does not include real estate. As of September 30, 2015, Westbury Bank had no borrowers for which it was not in compliance with the loans-to-one borrower limitations.
Qualified Thrift Lender Test. As a federal savings association, Westbury Bank must satisfy the qualified thrift lender, or “QTL,” test. Under the QTL test, Westbury Bank must maintain at least 65% of its “portfolio assets” in “qualified thrift investments” (primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including mortgage-backed securities) in at least nine months of the most recent 12-month period. “Portfolio assets” generally means total assets of a savings association, less the sum of specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, and the value of property used in the conduct of the savings association’s business.
Alternatively, Westbury Bank may satisfy the QTL test by qualifying as a “domestic building and loan association” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
A federal savings association that fails the qualified thrift lender test must operate under specified restrictions set forth in the Home Owners’ Loan Act. The Dodd-Frank Act made noncompliance with the QTL test subject to enforcement action for a violation of law. At September 30, 2015, Westbury Bank maintained 69.68% of its portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments and, therefore, satisfied the QTL test. Westbury Bank has satisfied the QTL test in each of the last 12 months.
Capital Distributions. Federal regulations govern capital distributions by a federal savings association, which include cash dividends, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the savings association’s capital account. A federal savings association must file an application for approval of a capital distribution if:
the total capital distributions for the applicable calendar year exceed the sum of the savings association’s net income for that year to date plus the savings association’s retained net income for the preceding two years;
the savings association would not be at least adequately capitalized following the distribution;
the distribution would violate any applicable statute, regulation, agreement or regulatory condition; or
the savings association is not eligible for expedited treatment of its filings.
Even if an application is not otherwise required, every savings association that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, such as Westbury Bank, must still file a notice with the Federal Reserve Board at least 30 days before the board of directors declares a dividend or approves a capital distribution.
A notice or application related to a capital distribution may be disapproved if:
the federal savings association would be undercapitalized following the distribution;
the proposed capital distribution raises safety and soundness concerns; or
the capital distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation or agreement.
In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act provides that an insured depository institution may not make any capital distribution if, after making such distribution, the institution would fail to meet any applicable regulatory capital requirement. A federal savings association also may not make a capital distribution that would

37



reduce its regulatory capital below the amount required for the liquidation account established in connection with its conversion to stock form. In addition, beginning in 2016, the Bank’s ability to pay dividends will be limited if the Bank does not have the capital conservation buffer required by the new capital rules, which may limit the ability of the Company to pay dividends to its stockholders.
Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws. All federal savings associations have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act and related regulations to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income borrowers. In connection with its examination of a federal savings association, the OCC is required to assess the federal savings association’s record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. A savings association’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in denial of certain corporate applications such as branches or mergers, or in restrictions on its activities. In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit lenders from discriminating in their lending practices on the basis of characteristics specified in those statutes. The failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in enforcement actions by the OCC, as well as other federal regulatory agencies and the Department of Justice.
The Community Reinvestment Act requires all institutions insured by the FDIC to publicly disclose their rating. Westbury Bank received a “Satisfactory” Community Reinvestment Act rating in its most recent federal examination.
Transactions with Related Parties. A federal savings association’s authority to engage in transactions with its affiliates is limited by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and federal regulation. An affiliate is generally a company that controls, or is under common control with an insured depository institution such as Westbury Bank. The Company is an affiliate of Westbury Bank because of its control of the Bank. In general, transactions between an insured depository institution and its affiliates are subject to certain quantitative limits and collateral requirements. In addition, federal regulations prohibit a savings association from lending to any of its affiliates that are engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and from purchasing the securities of any affiliate, other than a subsidiary. Finally, transactions with affiliates must be consistent with safe and sound banking practices, not involve the purchase of low-quality assets and be on terms that are as favorable to the institution as comparable transactions with non-affiliates. Federal regulations require savings associations to maintain detailed records of all transactions with affiliates.
The Bank’s authority to extend credit to its directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders, as well as to entities controlled by such persons, is currently governed by the requirements of Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O of the Federal Reserve Board. Among other things, these provisions generally require that extensions of credit to insiders:
be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons and that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features; and
not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of Westbury Bank’s capital.
In addition, extensions of credit in excess of certain limits must be approved by the Bank’s loan committee or board of directors. Extensions of credit to executive officers are subject to additional limits based on the type of extension involved.
Enforcement. The OCC has primary enforcement responsibility over federal savings associations and has authority to bring enforcement action against all “institution-affiliated parties,” including directors, officers, stockholders, attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on a federal savings association. Formal enforcement action by the OCC may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers and/or directors of the institution and the appointment of a receiver or conservator. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and

38



actions, and range up to $25,000 per day, unless a finding of reckless disregard is made, in which case penalties may be as high as $1 million per day. The FDIC also has the authority to terminate deposit insurance or recommend to the OCC that enforcement action be taken with respect to a particular savings association. If such action is not taken, the FDIC has authority to take the action under specified circumstances.
Standards for Safety and Soundness. Federal law requires each federal banking agency to prescribe certain standards for all insured depository institutions. These standards relate to, among other things, internal controls, information systems and audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, compensation and other operational and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate. Interagency guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If an institution fails to meet these standards, the appropriate federal banking agency may require the institution to implement an acceptable compliance plan. Failure to implement such a plan can result in further enforcement action, including the issuance of a cease and desist order or the imposition of civil money penalties.
Prompt Corrective Action Regulations. The OCC is required by law to take supervisory actions against undercapitalized savings institutions under its jurisdiction, the severity of which depends upon the institution’s level of capital.
Current OCC prompt corrective action regulations state that to be adequately capitalized, Westbury Bank must have a leverage ratio of at least 4.0%, a CETI capital ratio of at least 4.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.0%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8.0%. To be well-capitalized, Westbury Bank must have a leverage ratio of at least 5.0%, a CETI capital ratio of at least 6.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 8.0%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%. A savings association that has total risk-based capital of less than 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that generally is less than 6.0%, a CETI ratio that is less than 4.5% or a leverage ratio that is less than 4.0% is considered to be undercapitalized. A savings association that has total risk-based capital less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 core risk-based capital ratio of less than 4.0%, a CETI capital ratio that is less than 3.0% or a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0% is considered to be “significantly undercapitalized.” A savings institution that has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less than 2% is deemed to be “critically undercapitalized.”
Generally, the OCC is required to appoint a receiver or conservator for a savings association that is “critically undercapitalized” within specific time frames. The regulations also provide that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the OCC within 45 days of the date that a federal savings association is deemed to have received notice that it is “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” or “critically undercapitalized.” Any holding company of a federal savings association that is required to submit a capital restoration plan must guarantee performance under the plan in an amount of up to the lesser of 5% of the savings association’s assets at the time it was deemed to be undercapitalized by the OCC or the amount necessary to restore the savings association to adequately capitalized status. This guarantee remains in place until the OCC notifies the savings association that it has maintained adequately capitalized status for each of four consecutive calendar quarters. Institutions that are undercapitalized become subject to certain mandatory measures such as a restrictions on capital distributions and asset growth. The OCC may also take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions against undercapitalized federal savings associations, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors.
At September 30, 2015, the Bank met the criteria for being considered “well capitalized.”
Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The Deposit Insurance Fund of the FDIC insures deposits at FDIC-insured financial institutions such as Westbury Bank. Deposit accounts in Westbury Bank are insured by the FDIC generally up to a maximum of $250,000 per separately insured depositor and up to a maximum of $250,000 for self-directed retirement accounts. The FDIC charges insured depository institutions premiums to maintain the Deposit Insurance Fund. Assessments are based on an institution’s average consolidated total assets minus average tangible

39



equity instead of total deposits. Assessment rates (inclusive of possible adjustments) currently range from 2 1/2 to 45 basis points of each institution’s total assets less tangible capital. The FDIC may increase or decrease the scale uniformly, except that no adjustment can deviate more than two basis points from the base scale without notice and comment rulemaking. The FDIC’s current system represents a change, required by the Dodd-Frank Act, from its prior practice of basing the assessment on an institution’s volume of deposits.
In addition to the FDIC assessments, the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) is authorized to impose and collect, with the approval of the FDIC, assessments for anticipated payments, issuance costs and custodial fees on bonds issued by the FICO in the 1980s to recapitalize the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds issued by the FICO are due to mature in 2017 through 2019. For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the annualized FICO assessment was equal to 0.58 basis points of total assets less tangible capital.
The Dodd-Frank Act increased the minimum target Deposit Insurance Fund ratio from 1.15% of estimated insured deposits to 1.35% of estimated insured deposits. The FDIC must seek to achieve the 1.35% ratio by September 30, 2020. Insured institutions with assets of $10 billion or more are supposed to fund the increase. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated the 1.5% maximum fund ratio, instead leaving it to the discretion of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has exercised that discretion by establishing a long range fund of 2.0%.
The FDIC has authority to increase insurance assessments. Any significant increases would have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of the Bank. Management cannot predict what assessment rates will be in the future.
Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC. We do not currently know of any practice, condition or violation that may lead to termination of our deposit insurance.
Prohibitions Against Tying Arrangements. Federal savings associations are prohibited, subject to some exceptions, from extending credit to or offering any other service, or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of credit or service, on the condition that the customer obtain some additional service from the institution or its affiliates or not obtain services of a competitor of the institution.
Federal Reserve System. Federal Reserve Board regulations require depository institutions to maintain noninterest-earning reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily NOW and regular checking accounts). The Federal Reserve Board regulations generally require that reserves be maintained against aggregate transaction accounts as follows: for that portion of transaction accounts aggregating $103.6 million or less (which may be adjusted by the Federal Reserve Board) the reserve requirement is 3.0% and the amounts greater than $103.6 million require a 10.0% reserve (which may be adjusted annually by the Federal Reserve Board between 8.0% and 14.0%). The first $14.5 million of otherwise reservable balances (which may be adjusted by the Federal Reserve Board) are exempted from the reserve requirements. As of September 30, 2015, Westbury Bank was in compliance with these requirements.
Federal Home Loan Bank System. Westbury Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank System provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions as well as other entities involved in home mortgage lending. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, Westbury Bank is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank. As of September 30, 2015, Westbury Bank was in compliance with this requirement. Based on redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost. Westbury Bank reviews for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago stock. As of September 30, 2015, no impairment has been recognized.

40



Westbury Bank’s ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago provides an additional source of liquidity and Westbury Bank has from time to time used advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank to fund its operations.
Other Regulations
Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by Westbury Bank are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. Westbury Bank’s operations are also subject to federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:
Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers;
Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, requiring that borrowers for mortgage loans for one- to four-family residential real estate receive various disclosures, including good faith estimates of settlement costs, lender servicing and escrow account practices, and prohibiting certain practices that increase the cost of settlement services;
Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves;
Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit;
Fair Credit Reporting Act, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies;
Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies;
Truth in Savings Act; and
rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws.
In addition, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issues regulations and standards under these federal consumer protection laws that affect our consumer businesses. These include regulations setting “ability to repay” and “qualified mortgage” standards for residential mortgage loans and mortgage loan servicing and originator compensation standards. Westbury Bank is evaluating recent regulations and proposals, and devotes significant compliance, legal and operational resources to compliance with consumer protection regulations and standards.
The operations of Westbury Bank also are subject to the:
Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records;
Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E promulgated thereunder, which govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers’ rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services;
Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (also known as “Check 21”), which gives “substitute checks,” such as digital check images and copies made from that image, the same legal standing as the original paper check;
The USA PATRIOT Act, which requires savings associations to, among other things, establish broadened anti-money laundering compliance programs, and due diligence policies and controls to

41



ensure the detection and reporting of money laundering. Such required compliance programs are intended to supplement existing compliance requirements that also apply to financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act and the Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations; and
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which places limitations on the sharing of consumer financial information by financial institutions with unaffiliated third parties. Specifically, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires all financial institutions offering financial products or services to retail customers to provide such customers with the financial institution’s privacy policy and provide such customers the opportunity to “opt out” of the sharing of certain personal financial information with unaffiliated third parties.
Holding Company Regulation
General. The Company is a savings and loan holding company within the meaning of HOLA. As such, the Company is registered with the Federal Reserve Board and subject to regulations, examinations, supervision and reporting requirements applicable to savings and loan holding companies. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has enforcement authority over the Company and its non-savings institution subsidiaries. Among other things, this authority permits the Federal Reserve Board to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings institution.
Permissible Activities. Under present law, the business activities of the Company are generally limited to those activities permissible for financial holding companies under Section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, provided certain conditions are met, or for multiple savings and loan holding companies. A financial holding company may engage in activities that are financial in nature, including underwriting equity securities and insurance as well as activities that are incidental to financial activities or complementary to a financial activity. A multiple savings and loan holding company is generally limited to activities permissible for bank holding companies under Section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act, subject to regulatory approval, and certain additional activities authorized by federal regulations.
Federal law prohibits a savings and loan holding company, including the Company, from directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, from acquiring more than 5% of another savings institution or holding company thereof, without prior regulatory approval. It also prohibits the acquisition or retention of, with certain exceptions, more than 5% of a nonsubsidiary company engaged in activities that are not closely related to banking or financial in nature, or acquiring or retaining control of an institution that is not federally insured. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Federal Reserve Board must consider the financial and managerial resources, future prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the federal deposit insurance fund, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive factors.
The Federal Reserve Board is prohibited from approving any acquisition that would result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings institutions in more than one state, subject to two exceptions:
the approval of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies; and
the acquisition of a savings institution in another state if the laws of the state of the target savings institution specifically permit such acquisition.
The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate savings and loan holding company acquisitions.
Capital. Savings and loan holding companies historically have not been subject to consolidated regulatory capital requirements. The Dodd-Frank Act, however, required the Federal Reserve Board to establish for all depository institution holding companies minimum consolidated capital requirements that are as stringent as those required for the insured depository subsidiaries. Such regulations became effective January 1, 2015. However, legislation was enacted in December 2014 which required the Federal Reserve Board to amend its "Small Bank

42



Holding Company" exemption from consolidated holding company capital requirements to generally extend the applicability to bank and savings and loan holding companies of up to $1 billion in assets. Regulations doing so were effective May 15, 2015. Consequently, savings and loan holding companies of under $1 billion in consolidated assets remain exempt from consolidated regulatory capital requirements, unless the Federal Reserve determines otherwise in particular cases.
Source of Strength. The Dodd-Frank Act extended the “source of strength” doctrine to savings and loan holding companies. The Federal Reserve Board has issued regulations requiring that all savings and loan holding companies serve as a source of managerial and financial strength to their subsidiary savings associations by providing capital, liquidity and other support in times of financial stress.
Dividends. The Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement regarding the payment of dividends and the repurchase of shares of common stock by bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies. In general, the policy provides that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the holding company appears consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Regulatory guidance provides for prior regulatory consultation with respect to capital distributions in certain circumstances such as where the company’s net income for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid over that period, is insufficient to fully fund the dividend or the company’s overall rate or earnings retention is inconsistent with the company’s capital needs and overall financial condition. The ability of a savings and loan holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary savings association becomes undercapitalized. The policy statement also states that a savings and loan holding company should inform the Federal Reserve Board supervisory staff prior to redeeming or repurchasing common stock or perpetual preferred stock if the savings and loan holding company is experiencing financial weaknesses or if the repurchase or redemption would result in a net reduction, as of the end of a quarter, in the amount of such equity instruments outstanding compared with the beginning of the quarter in which the redemption or repurchase occurred. These regulatory policies may affect the ability of the Company to pay dividends, repurchase shares of common stock or otherwise engage in capital distributions.
Acquisition. Under the Federal Change in Bank Control Act, a notice must be submitted to the Federal Reserve Board if any person (including a company), or group acting in concert, seeks to acquire direct or indirect “control” of a savings and loan holding company. Under certain circumstances, a change of control may occur, and prior notice is required, upon the acquisition of 10% or more of the company’s outstanding voting stock, unless the Federal Reserve Board has found that the acquisition will not result in control of the company. A change in control definitively occurs upon the acquisition of 25% or more of the company’s outstanding voting stock. Under the Change in Bank Control Act, the Federal Reserve Board generally has 60 days from the filing of a complete notice to act, taking into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the competitive effects of the acquisition.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), which was enacted in April 2012, has made numerous changes to the federal securities laws to facilitate access to capital markets. Under the JOBS Act, a company with total annual gross revenues of less than $1.0 billion during its most recently completed fiscal year qualifies as an “emerging growth company.” The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.
An “emerging growth company” may choose not to hold stockholder votes to approve annual executive compensation (more frequently referred to as “say-on-pay” votes) or executive compensation payable in connection with a merger (more frequently referred to as “say-on-golden parachute” votes). An emerging growth company also is not subject to the requirement that its auditors attest to the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting, and can provide scaled disclosure regarding executive compensation; however, the Company will also not be subject to the auditor attestation requirement or additional executive compensation disclosure so long as it remains a “smaller reporting company” under Securities and Exchange Commission regulations (generally less than $75 million of voting and non-voting equity held by non-affiliates). Finally, an emerging

43



growth company may elect to comply with new or amended accounting pronouncements in the same manner as a private company, but must make such election when the company is first required to file a registration statement. Such an election is irrevocable during the period a company is an emerging growth company. The Company has elected to comply with new or amended accounting pronouncements in the same manner as a private company.
A company loses emerging growth company status on the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year of the company during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1.0 billion or more; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities of the company pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933; (iii) the date on which such company has, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which such company is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under Securities and Exchange Commission regulations (generally, at least $700 million of voting and non-voting equity held by non-affiliates).
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. As directed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are required to certify that our quarterly and annual reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act have several requirements, including having these officers certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting; they have made certain disclosures to our auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors about our internal control over financial reporting; and they have included information in our quarterly and annual reports about their evaluation and whether there have been changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect internal control over financial reporting.
TAXATION
Federal Taxation
General. The Company and the Bank are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize material federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to the Company and the Bank.
Method of Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, the Bank currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and uses a tax year ending September 30 for filing its consolidated federal income tax returns. The Small Business Protection Act of 1996 eliminated the use of the reserve method of accounting for bad debt reserves by savings institutions, effective for taxable years beginning after 1995.
Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences, referred to as “alternative minimum taxable income.” The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent alternative minimum taxable income is in excess of an exemption amount. Net operating losses can, in general, offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. At September 30, 2015, the Company had $533,000 of minimum tax credit carryforwards which do not expire.
Corporate Dividends. We may exclude from our income 100% of dividends received from the Bank as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations.

44



State Taxation
The Company and the Bank are subject to Wisconsin’s corporate income tax, which is imposed at a flat rate of 7.9% on apportioned "adjusted gross income." "Adjusted gross income," for purposes of the Wisconsin corporate income tax, begins with taxable income as defined by Section 62 of the Code, and thus, incorporates federal tax law to the extent that it affects the computation of taxable income. Federal taxable income is then adjusted by several modifications pursuant to Wisconsin tax regulation.
Other applicable state taxes include generally applicable sales and use taxes plus real and personal property taxes. The Company and the Bank’s state income tax returns have not been audited in five years.

Westbury Bancorp, Inc. has not declared dividends on its common stock. Dividend payments by Westbury Bancorp, Inc. are dependent in part on dividends it receives from Westbury Bank because Westbury Bancorp, Inc. has no source of income other than dividends from Westbury Bank, earnings from the investment of proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock retained by Westbury Bancorp, Inc. and interest payments with respect to Westbury Bancorp, Inc.’s loan to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
Under the rules of the OCC and the Federal Reserve Board, Westbury Bank is not permitted to make a capital distribution if, after making such distribution, it would be undercapitalized. For information concerning additional federal laws and regulations regarding the ability of Westbury Bank to make capital distributions, including the payment of dividends to Westbury Bancorp, Inc., see Item 1 "Business - Taxation" and "Business - Supervision and Regulation - Capital Distributions."
Unlike Westbury Bank, Westbury Bancorp, Inc. is not restricted by OCC regulations on the payment of dividends to its stockholders. However, the Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement regarding the payment of dividends by bank holding companies that it has also made applicable to savings and loan holding companies as well. In general, the Federal Reserve Board's policies provide that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the holding company appears consistent with the organization's capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Federal Reserve Board guidance provides for prior regulatory review of capital distributions in certain circumstances such as where the company's net income for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid over that period, is insufficient to fully fund the dividend or the company's overall rate of earnings retention is inconsistent with the company's capital needs and overall financial condition. The ability of a holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary

47



bank becomes undercapitalized. These regulatory policies could affect the ability of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. to pay dividends or otherwise engage in capital distributions.
(b)Sales of Unregistered Securities. Not applicable.
(c)Use of Proceeds. Not applicable.
(d)Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans.
At September 30, 2015, there were no compensation plans under which equity securities of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. were authorized for issuance other than the Equity Incentive Plan. See Part III, Item 12.
(e)Stock Repurchases.
The table below sets forth Westbury Bancorp, Inc.'s common stock repurchases during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

ITEM 7.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This section is intended to help the reader understand the financial performance of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries through a discussion of the factors affecting our financial condition at September 30, 2015 and 2014 and our results of operations for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.
This section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements that appear elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

50



Overview
We provide financial services to individuals, families and businesses through our main office and seven branches located in Washington County and Waukesha County and a loan production office located in Outagamie County, Wisconsin. Additionally, although our operations are not focused in Milwaukee County, we are affected by conditions in Milwaukee County because our loan portfolio includes a significant number of loans that are secured by real estate or that have borrowers located in Milwaukee County. In addition, a number of our customers who reside in Washington or Waukesha Counties are employed in Milwaukee County, and the operations of our commercial customers depend in part on sales of products and services to individuals or other businesses located in Milwaukee County.
Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public in our market area and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations, and borrowings, in commercial and multifamily real estate loans, one- to four-family residential real estate loans, commercial business loans, and, to a lesser extent, construction loans and consumer loans, including home equity lines of credit and automobile loans. A significant majority of our deposits are transaction accounts, which we believe are less susceptible to large-scale withdrawals than certificates of deposit as a result of changes in interest rates, and which we believe have a lower cost of funds over various interest cycles. At September 30, 2015, approximately 77.0% of our deposits were transaction accounts. We also purchase investment securities consisting primarily of securities issued by the United States government and its agencies and government-sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations issued by government-sponsored enterprises, municipal securities and corporate securities.
At September 30, 2015, we had total assets of $638.9 million, total deposits of $531.0 million and total stockholders' equity of $78.8 million, compared to total assets of $568.7 million, total deposits of $454.9 million and total stockholders' equity of $86.5 million at September 30, 2014.
As a result of the economic downturn in 2008, we experienced an increase in delinquent and classified loans. In response, we undertook aggressive initiatives to identify problem assets and to enhance asset quality. These initiatives included increasing provisions to our allowance for loan losses, charging down and writing off non-performing assets, engaging in an intensive review of our loan portfolio and as a result classifying additional loans and devoting significant resources to developing and implementing enhanced loan underwriting, administration and collections policies and procedures. These initiatives have resulted in a significant improvement in non-performing and classified assets. At September 30, 2015, we had non-performing assets of $1.1 million, or 0.17% of total assets, compared to non-performing assets of $3.8 million, or 0.67% of total assets, at September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2015, we had classified assets of $4.1 million, or 0.64% of total assets, compared to classified assets of $6.5 million, or 1.14% of total assets, at September 30, 2014.
The economic downturn coincided with significant changes in our customers’ banking habits, particularly a decrease in the amount of business conducted at physical branches as customers began to rely on Internet and mobile banking and other technological advances for their day-to-day transactions. Accordingly, in addition to our asset quality improvement initiatives, we have also undertaken aggressive measures to reduce our expenses and allocate resources to best suit our customers’ banking needs. As part of this process, since 2009, we have sold or closed 19 branches, reduced the number of employees and substantially reduced other non-interest expenses (excluding non-recurring losses from the sale of closed branch facilities).
Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities. Our results of operations also are affected by our provisions for loan losses, non-interest income and non-interest expense. Non-interest income currently consists primarily of service charges on deposit accounts, loan servicing income, gain on sales of securities and loans, debit card income, income from bank-owned life insurance and miscellaneous other income. Non-interest expense currently consists primarily of expenses related to compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing, federal deposit insurance premiums, professional fees, advertising and other operating expenses.
Our results of operations also may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

Business Strategy
Our goal is to operate Westbury Bank as a profitable, independent, community-oriented commercial bank delivering attractive returns to our shareholders by providing superior customer service and innovative financial products to individuals and small businesses in our market area. We believe a disciplined approach to managing the size, composition and growth of our balance sheet, including the use of improved financial modeling techniques to price products favorably and competitively and to manage expenses, will enable us to optimize profitability.
We will also continue to fulfill the three-part institutional vision included in our mission statement:
Build long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with our communities, customers and employees;
Provide superior customer service and innovative financial products designed to meet the needs of individuals and small businesses in our communities; and
Return a portion of the benefits of our profitable operations to the communities in which we do business through charitable giving and community involvement.
Maintain Our Improved Asset Quality. We actively monitor and manage all segments of our loan portfolio in an effort to proactively identify and mitigate credit risks within our loan portfolio. We conduct both internal and external reviews of our loan portfolio designed to provide early detection of potential problem loans and timely resolution of non-performing and classified loans, and have tasked a management committee with conducting internal reviews and stress-testing. Specifically, we conduct internal reviews of all loans above $250,000, and third party reviews on all loans above $750,000 as well as a certain portion of new loans and a sample of loans originated by each loan officer, on an annual basis. In addition, in recent years, we have implemented more stringent underwriting policies and procedures, including increased emphasis on lower debt to income ratios, higher credit scores, and lower loan to value ratios. With respect to commercial business, commercial real estate and multifamily lending, we have also enhanced the information required with respect to a borrower’s financial condition and business prospects, and perform an internal valuation of underlying property in addition to obtaining third party appraisals. Finally, we have hired additional personnel with experience managing commercial loan administration, collection and workouts. We are committed to devoting significant resources to maintaining low levels of loan delinquencies and to minimize problem assets as we increase our commercial business, commercial real estate and multifamily lending. We also intend to continually enhance our loan underwriting, administration and collection procedures, and to implement improved credit risk management and asset-liability management techniques, such as portfolio stress testing, portfolio credit analysis, and credit decision monitoring matrices.
Increase Commercial Business, Commercial Real Estate and Multi-Family Lending. We believe that, with the recent downward trends in interest rates on residential mortgage loans, particularly on the variable rate residential mortgage loans that we retain in our portfolio, a prudent approach to expanding our balance sheet is to increase the growth of commercial business, commercial real estate and multifamily loans in order to increase our profitability. In the past several years, because commercial lending is based on relationships, we have hired specialized commercial lending officers with strong borrower relationships. This has resulted in an increase in our commercial real estate, multifamily and commercial business lending activities, as well as enhancements to our commercial lending policies and procedures. At September 30, 2015, we had $306.9 million of commercial real estate, commercial business and multifamily loans, representing 61.6% of our total loans, and we originated $78.1 million of commercial real estate, commercial business and multifamily loans during the year ended September 30, 2015 and $80.7 million of such loans during the year ended September 30, 2014. We expect that a disciplined approach to increasing our commercial business, commercial real estate and multifamily lending will diversify and increase the yield on our loan portfolio.
Continue to Originate Low-Cost Transaction Account Deposits. We offer checking accounts, passbook and statement savings accounts and money market accounts, which generally are lower cost sources of funds than certificates of deposit, are generally less sensitive to withdrawal when interest rates fluctuate, and provide the opportunity for generation of deposit-related fee income. At September 30, 2015, approximately 77.0% of our

52



deposits were transaction accounts. We intend to pursue increased origination of these low cost deposits, with particular focus on transaction accounts, by implementing marketing and promotional programs, offering remote deposit capture services to business customers, and broadening banking relationships with lending customers, particularly as we expand our commercial business, commercial real estate and multifamily lending activities.
Continue to Originate and Sell Certain Residential Real Estate Loans. Residential mortgage lending has historically comprised a significant portion of our operations. We recognize that the origination of one- to four-family real estate loans is essential to maintaining customer relations and our status as a community-oriented bank. During the year ended September 30, 2015, we originated $67.3 million in residential real estate loans and sold $29.2 million for gains on sale of $448,000, and during the year ended September 30, 2014, we originated $51.1 million in residential real estate loans and sold $13.3 million for gains on sale of $214,000. Accordingly, we will continue to originate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans and home equity loans and lines of credit. We intend to maintain an appropriately sized portfolio of short-term fixed rate and adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans to increase the yield of our loan portfolio, assist in the management of our interest rate risk and manage both the maturity of the loan portfolio and the time it takes for loans to reprice in accordance with their terms. We intend to sell the majority of the long-term fixed-rate residential mortgage loans in the secondary market to generate servicing fee income, recognize gains on sale and manage the overall maturity of our loan portfolio.
Leverage Our Competitive Strengths to Attract and Retain Customers. We believe that our competitive strengths are personalized, superior customer service, extensive knowledge of our local markets, high visibility community activities and technology-driven financial products. We believe that we can leverage these strengths to attract and retain customers from an increasing population of potential customers dislocated as a result of large bank consolidations in our market area and individuals seeking personalized, best-in-class customer service. We also plan to continue to update existing technologies and implement new technologies to enhance the customer experience and increase the efficiency of our operations. We also believe that we can capitalize on commercial deposit and personal banking relationships derived from an increase in commercial business, commercial real estate and multifamily lending.
Critical Accounting Policies
Certain of our accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of 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 which 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.
The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company” we have elected to use the extended transition period to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to income. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. Among the material estimates required to establish the allowance are: loss exposure at default; the amount and timing of future cash flows on impacted loans; value of collateral; and determination of loss factors to be applied to the various elements of the portfolio. All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change. Management reviews the level of the allowance quarterly and establishes the provision for loan losses based upon an evaluation of the portfolio, past loss experience, current economic conditions and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio. Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance

53



may be necessary if economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. In addition, bank regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. A large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would adversely affect earnings.
Deferred Tax Assets. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We exercise significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax liabilities and assets. These judgments require us to make projections of future taxable income. The judgments and estimates we make in determining our deferred tax assets, which are inherently subjective, are reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.
See "Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 - Provision for Income Taxes" for a detailed discussion of management's analysis of the Company's deferred tax assets.
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014
Total Assets. Total assets increased by $70.2 million, or 12.4%, to $638.9 million at September 30, 2015 from $568.7 million at September 30, 2014. The increase was primarily the result of the successful implementation of our strategies to increase the loan portfolio, particularly in multifamily, commercial real estate and commercial business loans.
Net Loans. Net loans increased by $76.6 million, or 18.4%, to $493.4 million at September 30, 2015 from $416.9 million at September 30, 2014.

Investment Securities. Investment securities available for sale decreased $10.1 million, or 11.1%, to $80.3 million at September 30, 2015 from $90.3 million at September 30, 2014 as a result of the sales of securities to provide liquidity to increase net loans and to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock. Investment securities held to maturity increased $2.5 million to $2.5 million at September 30, 2015 from $0 at September 30, 2014 as we invested in the re-funding of municipal securities issued by one of our local communities.
In the available for sale portfolio, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations increased $4.4 million, or 8.5%, to $55.7 million at September 30, 2015 from $51.4 million at September 30, 2014 and corporate securities increased $2.9 million to $2.9 million at September 30, 2015 from $0 at September 30, 2014. Municipal securities decreased $12.1 million, or 35.9%, to $21.7 million at September 30, 2015 from $33.8 million at September 30, 2014, and U.S. government and agency securities decreased $5.2 million to $25,000 at September 30, 2015 from $5.2 million at September 30, 2014.
The yield on our combined portfolio of investment securities increased to 2.18% at September 30, 2015 compared to 2.05% at September 30, 2014. Net unrealized gain on securities increased $656,000 from September 30, 2014 to September 30, 2015, reflecting the effect of a general decrease in market interest rates.
At September 30, 2015, investment securities classified as available-for-sale consisted entirely of government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, government-sponsored

54



debentures, municipal securities and corporate securities. Investment securities classified as held-to-maturity consisted entirely of municipal securities.
Foreclosed Real Estate. Foreclosed real estate held for sale decreased $2.1 million, or 88.0%, to $283,000 at September 30, 2015 from $2.4 million at September 30, 2014, as a result of sales of properties of $2.0 million and write-downs of foreclosed real estate to realizable value of $609,000, offset by new foreclosures of $519,000.
Real Estate Held for Investment. Real estate held for investment decreased $1.8 million, to $2.0 million at September 30, 2015 from $3.8 million at September 30, 2014. The decrease resulted from the designation of one property as held for sale during 2015. The property was transferred to real estate held for sale at its fair value with a valuation adjustment of $777,000 recorded at the time of transfer.
Real Estate Held for Sale. Real estate held for sale increased $882,000 to $882,000 at September 30, 2015 from zero at September 30, 2014. The increase resulted from the designation of one property as held for sale during 2015. The property was transferred to real estate held for sale at its fair value.
Office Properties and Equipment. Office properties and equipment increased $2.7 million, or 24.0%, to $13.9 million at September 30, 2015 from $11.2 million at September 30, 2014. The increase resulted from the purchase of a property in which one of our branches is housed. We had previously leased this branch space.
Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance. The cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”), which provides us with a funding source for our employee benefit plan obligations, increased $424,000, to $13.2 million at September 30, 2015 from $12.7 million at September 30, 2014. We are the beneficiary and owner of the BOLI policies, and as such, the investment is carried at the cash surrender value of the underlying policies. BOLI also generally provides us other income that is non-taxable. Regulations generally limit our investment in BOLI to 25% of our tier 1 capital plus our allowance for loan losses. At September 30, 2015, this limit was $17.2 million.
Deferred Taxes. Deferred taxes increased $1.8 million, or 32.3%, to $7.5 million at September 30, 2015 from $5.7 million at September 30, 2014. See "Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 - Provision for Income Taxes" for a detailed discussion of management's analysis of the Company's deferred tax assets.
Deposits. Deposits increased $76.1 million, or 16.7%, to $531.0 million at September 30, 2015 from $454.9 million at September 30, 2014. Our core deposits, which we consider to be our non-interest bearing and interest bearing checking accounts, passbook and statement savings accounts, and variable rate money market accounts, increased $50.2 million, or 14.0%, to $408.8 million at September 30, 2015 from $358.6 million at September 30, 2014. Certificates of deposit and other time deposits increased $25.9 million, or 26.9%, to $122.3 million at September 30, 2015 from $96.4 million at September 30, 2014 as we increased our use of internet-listing service deposits by $32.0 million to $48.4 million at September 30, 2015 from $16.4 million at September 30, 2014.
Advances From Federal Home Loan Bank. Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank increased $1.0 million, to $18.0 million at September 30, 2015 from $17.0 million at September 30, 2014. Advances were used with deposits to fund the growth in the loan portfolio during 2015.
Total Stockholders' Equity. Total stockholders' equity decreased $7.7 million, or 8.9%, to $78.8 million at September 30, 2015 from $86.5 million at September 30, 2014. The decrease resulted from the repurchase of 740,813 shares of the Company's common stock during 2015 at a cost of $12.8 million, offset by net income of $3.5 million for 2015 and increases as a result of shares issued under the Company's equity incentive and ESOP plans and unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities.

55



Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014
General. Net income for the year ended September 30, 2015 was $3.5 million, compared to a net loss of $1.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $5.0 million. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $2.1 million, an increase in income tax benefit of $730,000, an increase in non-interest income of $480,000 and a decrease in non-interest expense of $2.0 million, offset by an increase in provision for loan losses of $400,000.
Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased $2.5 million, or 13.4%, to $20.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2015 from $18.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2014. Average interest-earning assets during the year ended September 30, 2015 increased $67.2 million, or 13.9%, to $550.9 million from $483.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2014. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in average loan balances offset by a decrease in average investment securities balances. The increase in average loan balances of $95.2 million, or 26.2%, to $459.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2015 from $364.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2014 resulted from our efforts to effectively grow our loan portfolio, in particular our commercial loans during 2015. The average yield on loans decreased by 31 basis points to 4.15% for the year ended September 30, 2015 from 4.46% for the year ended September 30, 2014, reflecting the effects of downward pressure on loan pricing caused by the prolonged low interest rate environment. The average balance of investment securities decreased $17.5 million, or 17.3%, to $83.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2015 from $100.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2014 to fund growth in the loan portfolio. The average yield on investment securities increased by 5 basis points to 1.99% for the year ended September 30, 2015 from 1.94% for the year ended September 30, 2014 as we adjusted our portfolio mix by adding commercial mortgage-backed securities and corporate securities, which generally carry higher yields, while selling taxable municipal securities. The average yield also increased as a result of an increase in the duration of our investment portfolio during 2015, to 3.62 years at September 30, 2015 from 3.49 years at September 30, 2014.
Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $322,000, or 19.7%, to $2.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2015 from $1.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2014.
Interest expense on deposit accounts increased $293,000, or 18.0%, to $1.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2015 from $1.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in average deposits and interest-bearing liabilities to $531.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2015 compared to $455.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2014. Interest expense on deposit accounts also increased to a lesser extent as a result of an increase in our cost of funds of 2 basis points to 0.38% for the year ended September 30, 2015 from 0.36% for the year ended September 30, 2014.
Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago advances increased $29,000 to $37,000 for the year ended September 30, 2015 from $8,000 for the year ended September 30, 2014. The average balance of advances increased by $21.0 million to $26.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2015 from $5.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2014. The cost of funds on advances was unchanged from 2014 to 2015.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $2.1 million, or 12.8%, to $18.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2015 from $16.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2014. The average net loan balance increased by $95.2 million, or 26.2%, to $459.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2015 from $364.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2014 and the average interest bearing deposits increased by $50.0 million, or 13.4% to $421.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2015 from $371.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2014. We experienced a decrease in our interest rate spread to 3.40% for the year ended September 30, 2015 from 3.43% for the year ended September 30, 2014, and a decrease in our net interest margin to 3.42% for the year ended September 30, 2015 from 3.45% for the year ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in our interest rate spread and net interest margin reflected the effect of downward pressure on loan pricing caused by the prolonged low interest rate environment and its adverse impact on our ability to further reduce rates on transaction accounts.

56



Provision for Loan Losses. Based on our analysis of the factors described in “Critical Accounting Policies—Allowance for Loan Losses,” we recorded a provision for loan losses of $950,000 for the year ended September 30, 2015 and $550,000 for the year ended September 30, 2014. The increase in the provision for loan losses resulted from the growth in the loan portfolio during the year. The allowance for loan losses was $4.6 million, or 0.92% of total loans, at September 30, 2015 compared to $4.1 million, or 0.97% of total loans, at September 30, 2014. Total non-performing loans were $803,000 at September 30, 2015, compared to $1.4 million at September 30, 2014. As a percentage of non-performing loans, the allowance for loan losses was 572.6% at September 30, 2015 compared to 284.8% at September 30, 2014. Total classified loans were $3.8 million at September 30, 2015, compared to $4.1 million at September 30, 2014.
The allowance for loan losses reflects the estimate we believe to be appropriate to cover incurred probable losses which were inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $480,000, or 7.7%, to $6.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2015 from $6.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2014. The increase in non-interest income was due primarily to increases in rental income from real estate operations of $290,000, gains on sales of loans of $234,000, and fees on deposit accounts of $113,000, offset by a decrease in servicing fee income of $329,000.
The increase in rental income from real estate operation resulted from receipt of payment from the tenant in the property which we have designated as real estate held for sale, buying out the remaining years of their lease. The increase in gain on sales of loans resulted from increased demand for fixed rate mortgages during the year which we sold into the secondary market. The increase in fees on deposit accounts resulted from the growth in our checking accounts. The decrease in servicing fee income resulted from increased amortization of originated mortgage servicing rights during the year as refinancing activity increased due to increased demand for fixed rate mortgages in the prolonged low interest rate environment.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $2.0 million, or 8.1%, to $23.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2015 from $25.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2014. During the year ended September 30, 2015, we closed one branch office, designated real estate held for investment as held for sale and bought out a service contract. The cost of these actions for the year ended September 30, 2015 was $1.6 million. During the year ended September 30, 2014, we sold an administrative building and a branch office and closed two additional branches. The cost of these actions for the year ended September 30, 2014 was $2.8 million. We believe that these actions have resulted in reducing current operating expenses and will result in reduced operating expenses in the future.
In addition, salaries and employee benefits expense increased $616,000. This increase was offset by decreases in other expenses of $460,000, occupancy expense of $371,000, FDIC insurance premiums of $199,000 and advertising expense of $173,000.
The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense resulted from expense related to the implementation of our equity incentive plan which was adopted in June 2014. The decrease in other expenses was the result of the expiration of service contracts which were not renewed. The decrease in occupancy expense was the result of the branch closings. The decrease in FDIC insurance premiums was a result of a reduction, late in fiscal 2014, of the rate the Bank is charged for deposit insurance due to the termination of our formal agreement with the OCC in December 2013. The decrease in advertising expense was the result of decreases in traditional advertising as we focus more of our efforts into more cost effective online and social media channels.

Provision for Income Taxes. Income tax benefit was $1.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2015 compared to a benefit of $1.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2014. The effective tax rate as a percent of pre-tax income (loss) was (117.2)% and 45.0% for the year ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The benefit in 2015 was a result of the reversal of the valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset during the year ended September 30, 2015. See the detailed discussion below. The effective tax rate for the year ended September 30, 2014 was due to the impact of tax-exempt income on the effective rate calculation in a tax loss scenario.

57



We performed an evaluation of our deferred tax assets at September 30, 2015 and 2014. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is established to reduce the net carrying amount of deferred tax assets if it is determined to be more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. At September 30, 2015 and 2014, our deferred tax asset valuation allowance was $0 and $2.4 million, reducing our net deferred tax asset to $7.5 million and $5.7 million, respectively.
In making the determination whether a deferred tax asset is more likely than not to be realized, we seek to evaluate all available positive and negative evidence including the possibility of future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial results.

The net deferred tax asset is the amount that we determined was more likely than not to be realized, based on an analysis of positive and negative evidence at September 30, 2015 and 2014. Negative evidence considered included our recent pre-tax losses and our relatively high level of net loan charge-offs, loan loss provisions and OREO losses from 2009 through 2014. Elevated levels of provision expense were the primary cause of the loss experience in those years. Our market area was negatively impacted by the economic recession, causing increases in unemployment and declines in real estate values that led to the need for charge-offs and provisions. As discussed in more detail below, we believe that our current loan portfolio and credit quality trends indicate that losses at levels similar to those incurred in the period 2008-2013 are unlikely. Therefore, we have assumed that our level of credit losses would not continue at the same rate as in the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the year ended September 30, 2013.
 
Positive evidence reviewed included our historical earnings performance prior to the recession and during the year just ended, our projected earnings forecast, significantly reduced levels of non-performing assets, loan loss provisions and net charge-offs in 2015, the reduction of credit risk in our loan portfolio, and potential use of tax strategies.

In developing our projected earnings forecast at September 30, 2015, we assumed gradual improvement in general economic conditions in the ensuing years. These assumptions are in line with both national and regional economic forecasts. Because management has undertaken aggressive efforts to resolve non-performing loans and has significantly revised our lending and credit administration policies to provide for better credit risk management, our estimates included credit losses at levels more comparable to 2014 and 2015 than those experienced in 2008 through 2013.

The positive evidence that led us to conclude that the income tax benefits of our deferred tax assets would be realized included:


We have been aggressive in our initiatives to reduce non-interest expenses, including branch closings and staff reductions. As a result, we have reduced non-interest expenses to $23.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2015 compared to $29.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. We expect that we will be able to maintain expenses at comparable levels to 2015 (after exclusion of the expenses related to the valuation allowance for real estate held for sale, branch realignment and buyout of a service contract, which are not expected to recur) over the next several fiscal years.

Based on improving credit quality indicators, the credit quality issues that gave rise to the net operating loss carry forward and deferred tax asset related to the loan loss allowance were believed to be limited, to a large extent, to the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011. Loan loss provisions were $950,000 for the year ended September 30, 2015 and $550,000 for the year ended September 30, 2014. We expect continued moderate levels of loan loss provisions in future years as the economy stabilizes and as a result of our efforts to reduce our credit risk, especially the resolution of non-performing assets. We have reduced non-performing assets to $1.1 million at September 30, 2015 from $36.0 million at December 31, 2009.

58




The deferred tax asset related to the net operating loss carry-forwards has a 20 year life, which will allow a significant amount of time for us to utilize the asset. The other significant deferred tax asset relates to the allowance for loan losses. We do not believe that there will be any years in which a significant amount of taxable income is required to offset the anticipated reversal of a given difference and the expected reversal of timing differences is not so large as to preclude the likelihood of sufficient taxable income to allow the use of net operating loss carry-forwards.

We have improved our core earnings through growth of net interest income resulting from the growth of our loan portfolio and the reductions in operating expenses discussed above.

We could surrender our bank-owned life insurance policies, which would result in taxable income of $6.5 million, and reinvest the proceeds in securities, which would further increase annual taxable income.


Based on our analysis at September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, including evidence related to the substantially reduced risk profile of the loan portfolio and our improved earnings forecasts (supported by the growth in net interest income and the reduction of operating expenses) we concluded that there is more positive evidence than negative regarding the utilization of our deferred tax asset and that the recorded deferred tax asset, with no valuation reserve required at September 30, 2015, and net of the recorded valuation reserve of $2.4 million at September 30, 2014, is realizable.
Analysis of Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the difference between the income we earn on interest-earning assets and the interest expense we pay on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income also depends upon the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them. The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. Average balances are derived from daily average balances for all periods. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the tables as loans carrying a zero yield. No tax equivalent yield adjustments have been made. The yields set forth below include the effect of loan fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table presents, for the last two fiscal years, the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major categories of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Information is provided for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (i.e., changes in average balances multiplied by the prior-period average rate) and (ii) changes attributable to rate (i.e., changes in average rate multiplied by prior-period average balances).

60



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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, proceeds from the sale of loans, proceeds from maturities and calls of securities and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments including interest-earning demand deposits. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.
Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.1 million and $5.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of securities, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from the sale of securities and proceeds from maturing securities and pay downs on mortgage-backed securities, was $72.5 million and $62.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During the year ended September 30, 2015, we purchased $28.5 million and sold $27.7 million in securities held as available-for-sale, and during the year ended September 30, 2014, we purchased $25.7 million and sold $29.8 million in securities held as available-for-sale. Net cash provided by financing activities was $64.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2015, consisting primarily of increases in deposit accounts of $76.1 million and Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $1.0 million, partially offset by repurchases of the Company's common stock of $12.8 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $26.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2014, consisting primarily of increases in deposit accounts of $14.0 million and Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $17.0 million, partially offset by repurchases of the Company's common stock of $4.1 million.
At September 30, 2015, Westbury Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements to be categorized as well capitalized with a tier 1 leverage capital level of $64.2 million, or 10.01% of adjusted total assets, which is

61



above the required level of $32.0 million, or 5.00%; common equity tier 1 risk-based capital of $64.2 million, or 12.25% of risk-weighted assets, which was above the required level of $34.0 million, or 6.50%; tier 1 risk-based capital of $64.2 million, or 12.25% of risk-weighted assets, which was above the required level of $41.9 million, or 8.00%; and total risk-based capital of $68.8 million, or 13.12% of risk-weighted assets, which was above the required level of $52.4 million, or 10.00%. At September 30, 2014, Westbury Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements to be categorized as well capitalized with a tier 1 leverage capital level of $61.1 million, or 11.13% of adjusted total assets, which was above the required level of $27.5 million, or 5.00%; tier 1 risk-based capital of $61.1 million, or 15.17% of risk-weighted assets, which was above the required level of $24.2 million, or 6.00%; and total risk-based capital of $65.2 million, or 16.18% of risk-weighted assets, which was above the required level of $40.3 million, or 10.00%. Accordingly, Westbury Bank was categorized as well capitalized at September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change our category.
At September 30, 2015, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $18.4 million and stand-by letters of credit of $884,000. We also had unused commercial lines of credit of $54.2 million and unused home equity lines of credit of $26.2 million. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current loan origination commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from September 30, 2015 totaled $51.2 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize Federal Home Loan Bank advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, lines of credit and standby letters of credit.
We have not engaged in any other off-balance-sheet transactions in the normal course of our lending activities.
ITEM 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Management of Market Risk
Our asset/liability management strategy attempts to manage the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income, our primary source of earnings.
Our Board of Directors is responsible for the review and oversight of our Asset/Liability Committee, which is comprised of our executive management team and other essential operational staff. This committee is charged with developing and implementing an asset/liability management plan, and meets at least quarterly to review pricing and liquidity needs and assess our interest rate risk. We currently utilize a third-party modeling program, prepared on a monthly basis, to evaluate our sensitivity to changing interest rates, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. In addition, we regularly perform a “gap analysis” of the discrepancy between the repricing of our assets and liabilities.
In order to monitor and manage interest rate risk, we use the economic value of equity at risk (“EVE”) methodology. This methodology calculates the difference between the market value, as measured by the present value of expected cash flows, of the Bank's assets and liabilities. The comparative scenarios assume immediate parallel shifts in the yield curve in increments of 100 basis point (bp) rate movements. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column below. The model is run at least quarterly showing shocks from +300bp to -100bp, because a decline of greater than -100bp is currently

62



highly unlikely in the current low interest rate environment. The Board of Directors and management review the methodology’s measurements on a quarterly basis.
The interest rate scenarios are used for analytical purposes and do not necessarily represent management’s view of future market movements. Results of the modeling are used to provide a measure of the degree of volatility interest rate movements may influence our earnings. Modeling the sensitivity of earnings to interest rate risk is decidedly reliant on numerous assumptions embedded in the model. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, management’s best assessment of the effect of changing interest rates on the prepayment speeds of certain assets and liabilities, projections for account balances in each of the product lines offered and the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates. These assumptions are inherently changeable, and as a result, the model is not expected to precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rate on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions. Assumptions are supported with annual back testing of the model to actual market rate shifts.
The table below sets forth, as of September 30, 2015, the estimated changes in EVE that would result from the designated changes in the United States Treasury yield curve under an instantaneous parallel shift for Westbury Bank. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

Assumes instantaneous parallel changes in interest rates.
(2)
EVE or Economic Value of Equity at Risk measures the Bank’s exposure to equity due to changes in a forecast interest rate environment.
(3)
EVE Ratio represents Economic Value of Equity divided by the economic value of assets which should translate into built in stability for future earnings.

The table above indicates that at September 30, 2015, in the event of an instantaneous parallel 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 9.41% decrease in EVE. In the event of an instantaneous 100 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 0.34% increase in EVE.
Depending on the relationship between long-term and short-term interest rates, market conditions and consumer preference, we may place greater emphasis on maximizing our net interest margin than on strictly matching the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. We believe that the increased net income which may result from an acceptable mismatch in the actual maturity or re-pricing of our assets and liabilities can, during periods of declining or stable interest rates, provide sufficient returns to justify an increased exposure to sudden and unexpected increases in interest rates. We believe that our level of interest rate risk is acceptable using this approach.

Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.    An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2015. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2015, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.    There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management's annual report on internal controls over financial reporting. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s system of internal control is designed under the supervision of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer over financial reporting, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with the authorization of management and the Board of Directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections on any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.
As of September 30, 2015, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based upon the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework of 1992. Based upon its assessment, management believes that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2015 is effective using these criteria. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company (as a smaller reporting company) to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Westbury Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 1.Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of operations: Westbury Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) is a Maryland savings and loan holding company headquartered in West Bend, Wisconsin and provides a variety of financial services to individuals and small businesses throughout Southeastern Wisconsin. The Company owns 100% of the stock of Westbury Bank (the Bank). The Bank's primary deposit products are checking, savings, money market and term certificate accounts and its primary lending products are consumer, commercial and residential mortgage loans. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions and non-financial institutions providing financial products. Additionally, the Company and the Bank are subject to the regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examination by those regulatory agencies.

Organization and principles of consolidation:  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank.  The financial statements of the Bank include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, CRH, Inc., a Wisconsin real estate holding company. The financial statements of the Bank also include one wholly-owned limited liability corporation (LLC) formed to own certain of the Bank’s foreclosed properties. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act: The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the JOBS Act), which was signed into law on April 5, 2012, has made numerous changes to the federal securities laws to facilitate access to capital markets. Under the JOBS Act, a company with total annual gross revenues of less than $1.0 billion during its most recently completed fiscal year qualifies as an “emerging growth company.” The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” and believes that it will continue to qualify as an “emerging growth company” until five years from the completion of the stock offering, which occurred on April 9, 2013.

As an “emerging growth company,” the Company has elected to use the extended transition period to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. Accordingly, the financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

Use of estimates: In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of deferred tax assets and valuation of mortgage servicing rights.

Cash and cash equivalents: For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash, due from banks, and interest-bearing deposits.

The Company maintains amounts due from banks that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Management monitors these correspondent relationships and has experienced no losses. Accordingly, in the opinion of management, no material risk of loss exists.

Securities: Unless classified as "held-to-maturity", all securities are classified as “available-for-sale” and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of the related deferred tax effect. Securities are classified as "held-to-maturity" and recorded at amortized cost when management has the ability and intent to hold the securities to maturity.

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of individual available-for-sale securities below their amortized cost basis that are deemed to be other-than-temporary impairment losses are reflected as realized losses. In determining whether an other-than-temporary impairment exists, management considers many factors including (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent or requirement of the Company to sell its investment in the issuer prior to any anticipated recovery in fair value.

If the Company intends to sell an impaired security, it records an other-than-temporary loss in an amount equal to the entire difference between the fair value and amortized cost of the security. If a security is determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired, but the Company does not intend to sell the security, only the credit portion of the estimated loss is recognized in earnings, with the other portion of the loss recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss component recognized in earnings is identified as the amount of principal cash flows not expected to be received over the remaining term of the security as estimated based on cash flow projections discounted at the applicable original yield of the security.

Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

Loans held for sale: Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value as determined on an aggregate basis. Fees received from the borrower and the direct costs of loan originations are deferred and recorded as an adjustment to the sales price, when such loans are sold.

Loans: The Company grants commercial, mortgage and consumer loans to customers principally located in Southeastern Wisconsin. The ability of the Company’s loan customers to meet the terms of their loans is dependent upon the general economic conditions in this area and real estate values.
 
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are generally reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and deferred loan fees or costs on an originated basis. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs on loans receivable are deferred, and the net amounts amortized as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield. These amounts are amortized, using the level-yield method, over the contractual life of the related loans. Unamortized deferred amounts are included in interest income upon repayment or sale of the related loan.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is ninety days delinquent, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for loan losses: For all portfolio segments, the allowance for loan losses is maintained at the level considered adequate by management of the Company to provide for losses that are probable. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by net charge-offs. In determining the adequacy of the allowance balance, the Company makes continuous evaluations of the loan portfolio and related off-balance sheet commitments, considers current economic conditions and historical loss experience, and reviews specific problem loans and other factors.

When establishing the allowance for loan losses, management categorizes loans into risk categories generally based on the nature of the collateral and the basis of repayment. These risk categories and their relevant risk characteristics are as follows:

Single family: Single family loans are real estate loans generally smaller in size and are homogeneous because they exhibit similar characteristics. Single family loans are underwritten by evaluating the credit history of the borrower, the ability of the borrower to meet the debt service requirements of the loan and total debt obligations, as well as the underlying collateral and the loan to collateral value. Also included in this category are junior liens on 1-4 family residential properties. These loans consist of closed-end loans secured by junior liens on 1-4 family residential properties. Underwriting standards for single family loans are heavily influenced by statutory requirements, which include, but are not limited to, loan-to-value and affordability ratios, risk-based pricing strategies, and documentation requirements.

Construction and land development: These loans are secured by vacant land and/or property that are in the process of improvement, including (a) land development preparatory to erecting vertical improvements or (b) the on-site construction of industrial, commercial, residential, or farm buildings. Repayment of these loans can be dependent on the sale of the property to third parties or the successful completion of the improvements by the builder for the end user. For purposes of this classification, “construction” includes not only construction of new structures, but any loans originated to finance additions or alterations to existing structures and the demolition of existing structures to make way for new structures. Until a permanent

    
F- 10


Westbury Bancorp, Inc and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Dollars in Thousands
                    


loan originates, or payoff occurs, all construction loans secured by real estate are reported in this loan pool. Loans to finance construction and land development that are not secured by real estate are segmented and reported separate from this pool. In the event a loan is made on property that is not yet improved for the planned development, there is the risk that necessary approvals will not be granted or will be delayed. Construction loans also run the risk that improvements will not be completed on time or in accordance with specifications and projected costs.

Commercial business: Commercial business loans are extended primarily to middle market customers.  Such credits typically comprise working capital loans, loans for physical asset expansion, asset acquisition loans and other business loans. Loans to closely held businesses will generally be guaranteed in full or for a meaningful amount by the owners of the business. Commercial business loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower.  The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not behave as forecasted and collateral securing loans may fluctuate in value due to economic or individual performance factors.  Minimum standards and underwriting guidelines have been established for all commercial and industrial loan types.

Multifamily: Multifamily loans include loans to finance non-farm properties with five or more units in structures primarily to accommodate households on a temporary or permanent basis. Such credits are typically originated to finance the acquisition of an apartment or condo building/complex. Multifamily loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the subject multifamily property, with assumptions made for vacancy rates. Cash flows and ultimate loan performance rely on the receipt of rental income from the tenants of the property who are themselves subject to fluctuations in national and local economic and unemployment trends.

Commercial real estate: These loans are primarily secured by office and industrial buildings, warehouses, small retail shopping facilities and various special purpose properties, including hotels and restaurants.  These loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial business loans.  These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and the repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property.  Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors impacting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market such as geographic location and/or property type.

Consumer and other: These loans may take the form of installment loans, demand loans, or single payment loans, and are extended to individuals for household, family, and other personal expenditures. These include direct consumer automobile loans extended by the Company for the purpose of purchasing a new or used vehicle for personal use. Consumer and installment loans are underwritten by evaluating the credit history of the borrower and the ability of the borrower to meet the debt service requirements of the loan and total debt obligations. Also included in this category are home equity lines of credit. These loans consist of revolving open-end lines of credit secured by 1-4 family residential properties extended to individuals for household, family or other personal expenditures. Underwriting standards for home equity loans are heavily influenced by statutory requirements, which include, but are not limited to, loan-to-value and affordability ratios, risk-based pricing strategies, and documentation requirements.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination processes, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses, and may require the Company to recognize adjustments to its allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examinations.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired, and an allowance is established when the collateral value, discounted cash flows or observable market price of the impaired loan are lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on the Company’s own loss experience over the most recent seventeen quarters, adjusted for qualitative factors. These qualitative factors consider local economic trends, concentrations, management experience and other elements of the Company’s lending operations.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining the impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability

    
F- 11


Westbury Bancorp, Inc and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Dollars in Thousands
                    


of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the fair value of collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent, the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the loan’s obtainable market price.

Single family and consumer and other loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual homogeneous loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement due to the financial difficulties of the borrower, the loans are related with another commercial type loan or the loans experience significant payment delinquencies and are not insured.

Troubled debt restructurings: Loans are accounted for as troubled debt restructurings when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties that lead to a restructuring of the loan, and the Company grants a “concession” to the borrower that they would not otherwise consider. These concessions include a modification of terms such as a reduction of the stated interest rate or loan balance, a reduction of accrued interest, an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than a current market rate for a new loan with similar risk, or some combination thereof to facilitate repayment.

Troubled debt restructurings are classified as impaired loans. Payment performance prior and subsequent to the restructuring is taken into account in assessing whether it is likely that the borrower can meet the new terms. A period of sustained repayment, for at least six months, is generally required for return to accrual status. This may result in the loan being returned to accrual at the time of restructuring. A loan that is modified at a market rate of interest will not be classified as a troubled debt restructuring or impaired in the calendar year subsequent to the restructuring if it is in compliance with the modified terms.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock: Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock consists of the Company’s required investment in the capital stock of the FHLB. No ready market exists for these securities and they have no quoted market value; as such the stock is carried at cost. Management reviews for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis in the FHLB stock, and no impairment has been identified as a result of these reviews.

Foreclosed real estate: Real estate acquired by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Costs relating to the development and improvement of property are capitalized; holding costs are charged to expense. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed real estate.

Real estate held for investment/sale: Real estate held for investment consists of rental properties. Rental properties are carried at the lower of cost less provisions for depreciation computed by the straight-line method over the estimated life of the property. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systemic and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the use benefit is derived from the leased property, or fair value less costs to sell. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

A property is considered held for sale when a contract for sale is entered into or when management has committed to a plan to sell an asset, the asset is actively marketed, and sale is expected to occur within one year. Property reported as held for sale is reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and is not depreciated.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of all real estate held when an indicator of impairment is deemed to exist. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Office properties and equipment: Office properties including equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and include expenditures for new facilities and items that substantially increase the useful lives of existing buildings and equipment. Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recorded.

Cash surrender value of life insurance: The Company has purchased bank-owned life insurance policies on certain executives. Bank-owned life insurance is recorded at its cash surrender value. Changes in the cash surrender values are included in non-interest income.

Mortgage servicing rights: Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) are initially recognized at fair value when loans have been sold to investors and are amortized over the lives of the loans. Upon sale of loans with servicing retained, the servicing rights are recorded at fair value and remaining proceeds received are allocated to the loan. Amortization of MSRs is based on the ratio of net servicing income received in the current period, to total remaining net servicing income projected to be realized from the MSRs. MSRs are periodically assessed for impairment, which is calculated using estimated net cash flow analysis on a discounted basis. Impairment is recognized in the statement of income, during the period in which it occurs, as an adjustment to the corresponding valuation allowance. For purposes of performing an impairment evaluation, the serviced loan portfolio is stratified on the basis of certain risk characteristics including loan type (i.e., fixed or adjustable interest rates).

Transfers of financial assets: Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales only when the control over the financial assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of the right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.

Employee stock ownership plan: The Company has an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) covering substantially all employees. The cost of shares issued to the ESOP but not yet allocated to participants is presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a reduction of stockholders' equity. Compensation expense is recorded based on the market price of the shares as they are committed to be released for allocation to participant accounts.

Stock-based compensation: The Company accounts for its equity awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718.  ASC Topic 718 requires public companies to recognize compensation expense related to stock-based equity awards in their income statements.  See Note 14 below for more information. 

Income taxes: The Company, the Bank, and its subsidiaries file consolidated federal income tax returns and combined state income tax returns. Accordingly, amounts equal to tax benefits of those companies having taxable federal losses or credits are reimbursed by the other companies that incur tax liabilities.

Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates as of the date of enactment.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes to determine whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return, should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The Company may recognize the tax benefit for an uncertain tax position if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being utilized upon ultimate settlement.

It is the Company’s policy that interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of operations.

Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities: All derivatives are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value. Derivative contracts are maintained related to commitments to fund residential mortgages (interest rate locks) in connection with residential mortgages intended for sale. Such commitments are recorded at fair value in other assets or liabilities, with changes in fair value recorded in net gain or loss on sale of mortgage loans. Fair value is based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, and for fixed rate commitments, also considers the committed rates and current levels of interest rates. Derivative contracts are also maintained related to certificates of deposit, for which changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in earnings.

Comprehensive income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, which are also recognized as separate components of equity.

Reclassification: Certain amounts in the 2014 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or loss.

Segment reporting: The Company views the Bank as one operating segment, therefore, separate reporting of financial segment information is not considered necessary. The Company approaches the Bank and its other subsidiaries as one business enterprise, which operates in a single economic environment, since the products and services, types of customers and regulatory environment all have similar characteristics.

Recent accounting pronouncements: In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables (Topic 310) - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. ASU 2014-04 is intended to reduce diversity by clarifying when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. ASU 2014-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Adoption by the Company is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 is intended to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Adoption by the Company is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) - Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. ASU 2014-11 is intended to clarify the accounting for and improve the disclosures related to repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase financings. ASU 2014-11 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Adoption by the Company is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period. ASU 2014-12 is intended to clarify the accounting for the timing of expense recognition related to employee share-based payments in which a performance target that effects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Adoption by the Company is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-14, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors (Topic 310) - Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure. ASU 2014-14 is intended to clarify the accounting for and improve the consistency of balance sheet classification of certain foreclosed mortgage loans that are either fully or partially guaranteed under government programs. Greater consistency in classification of such mortgage loans upon foreclosure is expected to provide more decision-useful information about a creditor's foreclosed mortgage loans that are expected to be recovered, at least in part, through government guarantees. ASU 2014-14 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Adoption by the Company is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

At September 30, 2015, the investment portfolio included 9 securities available-for-sale which had been in unrealized loss positions for greater than twelve months and 22 securities which had been in unrealized loss positions for less than twelve months. At September 30, 2014, the investment portfolio included 63 securities available-for-sale which had been in unrealized loss positions for greater than twelve months and 25 securities which had been in unrealized loss positions for less than twelve months. These securities are considered to be acceptable credit risks. Based upon an evaluation of the available evidence, including recent changes in market rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory filings, management believes the decline in fair value for these securities is temporary. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell these investment securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery. The Company does not have any current requirement to sell its investment in the issuer prior to any anticipated recovery in fair value.

As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to service their debt and comply with various terms of their loan agreements. The Company considers current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends. Generally, all sizable credits receive a financial review no less than annually to monitor and adjust, if necessary, the credit’s risk profile. Credits classified as watch, special mention, substandard and doubtful generally receive a review quarterly.

The Company categorizes loans into the following risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt:

Pass - A pass asset is well protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the obligor (or guarantors, if any) or by the fair value, less costs to acquire and sell in a timely manner, of any underlying collateral.

Watch - A watch asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Watch assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Special Mention - A special mention asset has characteristics of deterioration in quality exhibited by any number of well-defined weaknesses requiring significant corrective action. The repayment ability of the borrower has not been validated, or has become marginal or weak and the loan may have exhibited some overdue payments or payment extensions and/or renewals.

Substandard - A substandard asset is an asset with a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes repayment in whole, or in part, of the debt. These credits are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. These assets are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will or has sustained some loss of principal and/or interest if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful - A doubtful asset is an asset that has all the weaknesses inherent in the substandard classification with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. These credits have a high probability for loss, yet because certain important and reasonably specific pending factors may work toward the strengthening of the asset, its classification of loss is deferred until its more exact status can be determined.

Homogeneous loan types are assessed for credit quality based on the contractual aging status of the loan and payment activity. In certain cases, based upon payment performance, the loan being related with another commercial type loan or for

Modifications of loan terms in a TDR are generally in the form of an extension of payment terms or lowering of the interest rate, although occasionally the Bank has reduced the outstanding principal balance.

There were no loans modified in a TDR during the year ended September 30, 2015. During the year ended September 30, 2014, three single family loans totaling $601 were modified in a TDR.

There were no re-defaults of TDR loans that occurred during the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Certain of the Bank’s directors and executive officers are loan customers of the Bank. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, loans of approximately $3,334 and $4,653, respectively, were outstanding to such parties. These loans were made on substantially the same terms as those prevailing for comparable transactions with other persons and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability.

Note 11. Advances From the Federal Home Loan Bank

The Bank maintains a master contract agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB) that provides for borrowing up to the maximum of 75 percent of the book value of the Bank’s first lien 1-4 family real estate loans. The FHLB provides both fixed and floating rate advances. Floating rates are tied to short-term market rates of interest, such as LIBOR, Federal Funds or Treasury Bill rates. Fixed rate advances are priced in reference to market rates of interest at the time of the advance, namely the rates that the FHLB pays to borrowers at various maturities. Interest is payable monthly with principal payable at maturity.

Advances are generally secured by a security agreement pledging a portion of the Bank’s residential real estate loans. Pledged real estate mortgages and home equity lines of credit had a carrying value of $150,226 and $136,476 as of September 30, 2015, and September 30, 2014, respectively.

Note 12. Regulatory Capital

The federal banking agencies have adopted regulations that substantially amend the capital regulations currently applicable to us. These regulations implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act.

Effective January 1, 2015 (with some changes transitioned into full effectiveness over two to four years), the Bank became subject to new capital requirements adopted by the OCC. These new requirements create a new required ratio for common equity Tier 1 ("CETI") capital, increase the leverage and Tier 1 capital ratios, change the risk weight of certain assets for purposes of the risk-based capital ratios, create an additional capital conservation buffer over the required capital ratios and change what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting these various capital requirements. Beginning in 2016, failure to maintain the required capital conservation buffer will limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses. The Company is exempt from consolidated capital requirements as those requirements do not apply to certain small savings and loan holding companies with assets under $1 billion.


    
F- 28


Westbury Bancorp, Inc and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Dollars in Thousands
                    


Under the new capital regulations, the minimum capital ratios are: (1) CETI capital ratio of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets; (2) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% of risk-weighted assets: (3) a total capital ratio of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets; and (4) a leverage ratio of 4.0%. CETI generally consists of common stock and retained earnings, subject to applicable regulatory adjustments and deductions.

There are a number of changes in what constitutes regulatory capital, some of which are subject to transition periods. These changes include the phasing-out of certain instruments as qualifying capital. The Bank does not use any of these instruments. Under the new requirements for total capital, Tier 2 capital is no longer limited to the amount of Tier 1 capital included in total capital. Mortgage servicing rights, certain deferred tax assets and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries over designated percentages of CETI will be deducted from capital. The Bank has elected to permanently opt-out of the inclusion of accumulated other comprehensive income in our capital calculations, as permitted by the regulations. This opt-out will reduce the impact of market volatility on our regulatory capital levels.

The new requirements also include changes in the risk-weights of assets to better reflect credit risk and other risk exposures. These include a 150% risk weight (increased 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 non-accrual status; a 20% (increased 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 cancellable; a 250% risk weight (increased from 100%) for mortgage servicing and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital; and increased risk weights (0% to 600%) for equity exposures.

In addition to the minimum CETI, Tier 1 and total capital ratios, the Bank will have to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CETI capital greater than 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 will be phased in beginning in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increasing each year until fully implemented in January 2019.

The OCC's prompt corrective action standards also changed effective January 1, 2015. Under the new standards, in order to be considered well-capitalized, the Bank must have a CETI ratio of 6.5% (new), a Tier 1 ratio of 8.0% (increased from 6.0%), a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% (unchanged) and a leverage ratio of 5.0% (unchanged). The Bank meets all these new requirements, including the full capital conservation buffer.

Note 13. Employee Benefit Plans

The Bank maintains a contributory, defined-contribution profit-sharing plan (the "Plan") for all employees meeting certain minimum age and service requirements. The Plan qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participants may elect to defer a portion of their compensation (between 2 percent and 10 percent) and contribute this amount to the Plan. A discretionary contribution is made each year as determined annually by the Board of Directors. The contribution is allocated to each participant based on his or her compensation. The aggregate benefit payable to any employee is dependent upon his or her

    
F- 30

rate of contribution, the earnings of the Plan assets, and the length of time such employee has been a participant in the Plan. The expense related to this Plan was $171 and $176 for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Bank maintains a leveraged employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") that covers all employees meeting certain minimum age and service requirements. The ESOP was established in conjunction with the Company's stock offering completed in April 2013 and operates on a plan year ending December 31. The ESOP initially borrowed $4.1 million and used those funds to acquire 411,403 shares, or 8.0% of the total number of shares issued by the Company in its initial public offering. The shares were acquired at a price of $10.00 per share. The Bank makes annual contributions to the ESOP equal to the ESOP's debt service. The ESOP shares were pledged as collateral for its debt. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to active participants, based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with ASC 718-40. Accordingly, because the debt is intercompany, it is eliminated in consolidation for presentation in these financial statements. The shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the balance sheet. Total ESOP shares may be reduced as a result of employees leaving the Company as shares that have previously been released to those exiting employees may be removed from the ESOP and transferred to that employee. As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for EPS computations. During each of 2015 and 2014, 20,570 shares were committed to be released resulting in ESOP compensation expense of $378 and $320 for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company adopted the Westbury Bancorp Inc 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") in 2014. In June 2014, the Company's stockholders approved the Plan which authorized the issue of up to 203,665 restricted stock awards and up to 509,162 stock options. As of September 30, 2015 there were 5,092 restricted stock awards and 102,753 options available for future grants.

Annual equity-based incentive awards are typically granted to selected officers and employees mid-year. Options are granted with an exercise price equal to no less than the market price of the Company's shares at the date of grant: those option awards generally vest over five years of service and have 10-year contractual terms. Restricted shares and units typically vest over a five year period. Equity awards may also be granted at other times throughout the year in connection with the recruitment and retention of officers and employees.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on certain assumptions. Since the Company's stock has traded for less than three years, expected volatility is based on the average volatility of an index of publicly-traded, small community bank stocks and the expectations of future volatility of Company shares. The risk free interest rate for periods within the contractual term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. SInce options were first awarded in June 2014 and the Company has not yet had options exercised by participants in the plan, the expected life of options is estimated based on the assumption that options will be exercised evenly throughout their life after vesting and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to remain outstanding.

The following assumptions were used for options granted during the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

The total intrinsic value of restricted shares that vested during the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $703,000 and $0, respectively.

As of September 30, 2015, there was $3.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements (including share option and nonvested share awards) granted under the Plan. At September 30, 2015, the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized was approximately 3.83 years.

Note 15. Deferred Compensation

Certain key employees of Westbury Bank hold non-qualified salary continuation plans. These plans provide for payments of specific amounts over 10 to 20 year periods subsequent to each participant’s retirement. The related deferred compensation liabilities are being accrued ratably to the respective normal retirement dates of each participant. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, approximately $1,996 and $2,078 are accrued related to these plans. The expense for compensation under these plans was approximately $59 and $178 for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Although not part of the plans, the Company has purchased life insurance on the lives of certain employees electing to participate in the plans, which could provide funding for the payment of benefits. At September 30, 2015 and 2014, the cash surrender value of such life insurance policies totaled $13,167 and $12,742, respectively.

The Company currently defers its Directors’ fees at the discretion of the Director, with payments made at the request of each Director. The balances of deferred directors’ fees were $623 and $659 at September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Note 16. Guarantees

The Bank has executed commitments under the Mortgage Partnership Finance (MPF) program with the FHLB to guarantee the payment of any realized losses that exceed the FHLB’s first loss account for mortgages delivered under the commitments. The Bank receives credit enhancement fees from the FHLB for providing this guarantee and continuing to manage the credit risk of the MPF program mortgage loans. The liability representing the present value of the credit enhancement fees less any expected losses in the mortgages delivered under the commitments was not material. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Bank could be required to make under the limited recourse guarantee was approximately $1,109 and $1,248
at September 30, 2015 and 2014. Under the commitments, the Bank agrees to service the loans and therefore, is responsible for any necessary foreclosure proceedings. Any future recoveries on any losses would not be paid by the FHLB under the commitments. Historically, the Bank has not incurred a loss on loans sold to the FHLB with these recourse provisions and management has determined there are no probable losses related to these loans at September 30, 2015, or 2014.

The Company has State of Wisconsin net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $18,534 and $21,231 at September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which can be used to offset its future state taxable income. The carryforwards start to expire in 2024.

The Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10,904 and $13,806 at September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which can be used to offset its future federal taxable income. The carryforwards start to expire in 2030.

The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences, referred to as “alternative minimum taxable income.” The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent alternative minimum taxable income is in excess of an exemption amount. Net operating losses can, in general, offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. At September 30, 2015, the Company had $533 of minimum tax credit carryforwards which do not expire.
In assessing the reliability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

Management performed an evaluation of the Company's deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2015 and 2014. In making the determination whether a deferred tax asset is more likely than not to be realized, we seek to evaluate all available positive and negative evidence. Negative evidence considered included our recent pre-tax losses and our relatively high level of net loan charge-offs, loan loss provisions and OREO losses from 2009 through 2014. Positive evidence reviewed included our historical earnings performance prior to the recession and during the year just ended, our projected earnings forecast, significantly reduced levels of non-performing assets, loan loss provisions and net charge-offs in 2015, the reduction of credit risk in our loan portfolio, and potential use of tax strategies. Based on our analysis at September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, including evidence related to the substantially reduced risk profile of the loan portfolio and our improved earnings forecasts (supported by the growth in net interest income and the reduction of operating expenses) we concluded that there is more positive evidence than negative regarding the utilization of our deferred tax asset and that the recorded deferred tax asset, with no valuation reserve required at September 30, 2015, and net of the recorded valuation reserve of $2,447 at September 30, 2014, is realizable.

Under the Internal Revenue Code and Wisconsin Statutes, the Bank is permitted to deduct, for tax years beginning before 1997, an annual addition to a reserve for bad debts. The amount differs from the provision for loan losses recorded for financial accounting purposes. Under prior law, bad debt deductions for income tax purposes were included in taxable income of later years only if the bad debt reserves were used for purposes other than to absorb bad debt losses. Because the Company did not intend to use the reserve for purposes other than to absorb losses, no deferred income taxes were provided. Retained earnings as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, include approximately $3,227 for which no deferred federal or state income taxes were provided. If in the future the Company no longer qualifies as a bank for tax purposes, an income tax expense of $1,266 would be incurred.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of Wisconsin. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2011 and state tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010.


Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contractual amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

The following instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend funds to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. As some such commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The Company generally extends credit only on a secured basis. Collateral obtained varies but consists primarily of one-to-four family residences.

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit may be uncollateralized and ultimately may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, and, generally, have terms of one year or less. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company holds collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Company would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount shown in the summary above. If the commitment is funded, the Company would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. At September 30, 2015 and 2014, no amounts have been recorded as liabilities for the Company’s potential obligations under these guarantees.

Litigation

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 19. Derivative Activities

The Company has on deposit certain certificates of deposit with embedded derivatives where the related interest earned by the account holder is calculated based on changes in the S&P 500. The Company enters into interest rate swaps and options to offset the variability in interest expense related to these certificates of deposits. At September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company had approximately $377 and $587, respectively, in notional amount of swaps where the Company pays a fixed or LIBOR-based interest rate and receives a variable rate based on the S&P 500. The fair values of the embedded derivatives, swaps and options are reported in the consolidated balance sheets, and the changes in fair value of the embedded derivatives, swaps and options are reported as gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the derivative liability was $110 and $87 as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and the related derivative asset was $110 and $87 as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The change in fair value was not significant as of September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale and forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans are defined as derivatives. The fair value related to these commitments was not material as of September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Note 20. Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC Topic 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

Securities available-for-sale: The fair value of the Company’s securities available-for-sale is determined using Level 2 inputs, which are derived from readily available pricing sources and third-party pricing services for comparable instruments. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, treasury yield curves, trading levels, credit information and credit terms, among other factors. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Derivatives: The fair values of the Company’s embedded derivatives related to certain certificates of deposit are determined using inputs that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data (such as the S&P 500 Index and the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate) and, therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The Company’s policy for determining transfers between levels occurs at the end of the reporting period when circumstances in the underlying valuation criteria change and result in a transfer between levels.

Assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis: The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain instruments at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Impaired loans: The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. The specific reserves for collateral-dependent impaired loans are based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell. The fair value of collateral is

    
F- 38


Westbury Bancorp, Inc and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

determined based on appraisals. In some cases, adjustments were made to the appraised values due to various factors including age of the appraisal, age of comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral. When significant adjustments were based on unobservable inputs, the resulting fair value measurement has been categorized as a Level 3 measurement. Impaired loans with a carrying amount of $467 and $541 have a valuation allowance of $77 and $136 included in the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Foreclosed real estate:  The Company does not record foreclosed real estate owned at a fair value on a recurring basis.  The fair value of foreclosed real estate was determined using Level 3 inputs based on appraisals or broker pricing opinions.  In some cases, adjustments were made to these values due to various factors including the age of the appraisal, age of comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in collateral.  Foreclosed real estate is measured at fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure.  Subsequent to foreclosure, additional writedowns may be recorded based on changes to the fair value of the assets.

Mortgage servicing rights: Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of MSRs do occur, the precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available. Accordingly, the Company estimates the fair value of MSRs using discounted cash flow models incorporating numerous assumptions from the perspective of market participants including servicing income, servicing costs, market discount rates, prepayments speeds, and default rates. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, MSRs are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. As of September 30, 2015, mortgage servicing rights with a carrying amount of $1,315 have a valuation allowance of $105 to reflect their fair value of $1,210. As of September 30, 2014, mortgage servicing rights with a carrying amount of $1,784 have a valuation allowance of $160 to reflect their fair value of $1,624.

Real estate held for sale: The Company does not record real estate held for sale at a fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of real estate held for sale was determined using Level 3 inputs based on appraisals or broker pricing opinions. In some cases, adjustments were made to these values due to various factors including the age of the appraisal, age of comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market. Real estate held for sale is measured at fair value less estimated costs to sell at the time of transfer. Subsequent to transfer, additional writedowns may be recorded based on changes to the fair value of the assets.

Disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value, is required whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Certain financial instruments with a fair value that is not practicable to estimate and all non-financial instruments are excluded from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not necessarily represent the underlying value of the Company for assets and liabilities not previously described. The Company, in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments not described above, used the following methods and assumptions:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate those assets’ fair values.


Securities held to maturity: The fair values of securities held to maturity are based on quoted market prices for similar securities, adjusted for differences in security characteristics.

Loans: For variable-rate mortgage loans that re-price frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for fixed rate residential mortgage loans are based on quoted market prices for similar loans sold in conjunction with sale transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair values for commercial real estate loans, rental property mortgage loans, and consumer and other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Loans held for sale: Fair value of loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock: The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates its fair value based on the redemption provisions of the FHLB.

Accrued interest receivable and payable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate their fair values.

Deposits: The fair value disclosed for interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The fair values of fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of the outstanding certificates of deposit.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and notes payable: The fair values of FHLB advances and notes payable are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Advance payments by borrowers for property taxes and insurance: The carrying amounts of the advance payments by borrowers for property taxes and insurance approximate their fair values.

Mortgage banking derivatives: The fair value of commitments to originate mortgage loans held for sale is estimated by comparing the Company’s cost to acquire mortgages and the current price for similar mortgage loans, taking into account the terms of the commitments and the credit worthiness of the counterparties. The fair value of forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans is the estimated amount that the Bank would receive or pay to terminate the forward delivery contract at the reporting date based on market prices for similar financial instruments. The fair value of these derivative financial instruments was not material at September 30, 2015 or 2014.

Note 21. Earnings per Share

Earnings per common share is computed using the two-class method. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for weighted average unallocated ESOP shares, during the applicable period, excluding outstanding participating securities. Participating securities include non-vested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, though no actual shares of common stock related to restricted stock units are issued until the settlement of such units, to the extent holders of these securities receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents at the same rate as holders of the Company's common stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares determined for the basic earnings per common share computation plus the dilutive effect of stock compensation using the treasury stock method.
 
The following table presents a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share (in thousands, except share and per share data).
