NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(1)Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Georgetown Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation, (the “Company”) were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and with Regulation S-X and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods, including the entire fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the December 31, 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements presented in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2016. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Georgetown Bank (the “Bank”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Georgetown Securities Corporation, which engages in the buying, selling and holding of securities. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements consider events that occurred through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the financial statements.

(2)Corporate Structure

The Company completed a “second step” conversion to a fully public stock holding company on July 11, 2012. The Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Georgetown Securities Corporation, established in 1995 as a Massachusetts securities corporation for the purpose of buying, selling and holding securities on its own behalf, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank.

Table of Contents

(3)Earnings Per Common Share

The Company has adopted the Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) guidance included in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260-10. As presented below, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. For purposes of computing diluted EPS, the treasury stock method is used.

Unallocated ESOP shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.

Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
	(In thousands, except share and per share data)

Diluted earnings per share	$	0.02	$	0.24	$	0.15	$	0.59

Options to purchase 122,775 shares, representing all outstanding options, were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Options to purchase 90,483 shares, representing all outstanding options, were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

(4)Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014 and August 2015, respectively, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2014-09 and 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to clarify principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The core principal of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that period. Earlier application is permitted only as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.

Table of Contents

The Company is currently reviewing ASUs 2014-09 and 2015-14 to determine if they will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The amendments in this ASU address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments and makes targeted improvements to GAAP as follows:

1.Require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

2.Simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates that impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value.

3.Eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet.

4.Require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.

5.Require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments.

6.Require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements.

7.Clarify that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.

The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of item 5 above is permitted as of the fiscal years or interim periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Early adoption of all other amendments in this ASU is not permitted. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring reporting entities to recognize all leases, including operating, as lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. Some of the key provisions of this new ASU include: (1) companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”). Instead, they will record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement, and APIC pools will be eliminated. The guidance also eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized before companies can recognize them. In addition, the guidance requires companies to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity; (2) increase the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still qualify for the exception to liability

classification for shares used to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation. The new guidance will also require an employer to classify the cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy its statutory income tax withholding obligation as a financing activity on its statement of cash flows (current guidance did not specify how these cash flows should be classified); and (3) permit companies to make an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards. Forfeitures can be estimated, as required today, or recognized when they occur. ASU 2016-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted, but all of the guidance must be adopted in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-09 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU includes provisions intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by the entity. In order to achieve this objective, the amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted in interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Any increase in the allowance for loan losses or expenses incurred to determine the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-13 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statements of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” This update is designed to address the diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard also provides guidance on when an entity should separate cash flows and classify them into more than one class and when an entity should classify the aggregate of those cash flows into a single class based on the predominance principle. The update is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Each reporting period, the Company evaluates all securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity with a decline in fair value below the amortized cost of the investment to determine whether or not the impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary (“OTTI”).

At September 30, 2016, one security classified as available for sale had an unrealized loss with aggregate depreciation of 0.37% from the security’s amortized cost basis. The unrealized loss on the Company’s investment in the residential mortgage backed-security was caused by a change in interest rates and not by credit quality. The investment is issued by a government-sponsored enterprise and as management has not decided to sell the security, nor is it likely that the Company will be required to sell the security, the decline is deemed not to be OTTI.

The Company made no loan modifications that resulted in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company had two loan relationships that were classified as TDRs totaling $776,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The first relationship involved two commercial business loans totaling $235,000 guaranteed by two individuals. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the business was sold and net proceeds of $100,000 were applied to the outstanding balances leaving a combined deficiency or pre-modification balance of $135,000. The $135,000 balance was modified into two loans held individually by the personal guarantors of the original loans on a pro-rated basis based on their respective ownership percentages. The first loan had a $45,000 balance and the borrower made a $22,500 cash payment and the remaining $22,500 balance was charged off to the allowance for loan losses resulting in a post-modification balance of zero. The remaining balance was modified into a one- to four-family investment property loan with a post modification balance of $90,000. The TDR did not result in a material impact to the allowance for loan losses. The second relationship involved a one- to four-family residential loan totaling $606,000 to one individual. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the loan was modified to include a second individual and additional residential collateral was added. The loan, with a post modification balance of $606,000, was restructured into an interest-only note with maturity in 24 months. A second loan, an interest-only home equity loan with maturity in 24 months, representing the real estate taxes paid by the Company on behalf of the

Table of Contents

borrower, was established as part of the Forbearance Agreement. The home equity loan had a post modification balance of $80,000. As part of the Forbearance Agreement, the borrower 1) will be working to develop land for potential sale which is collateralizing the TDR loan and the Company will receive 100% of the net proceeds to pay down the outstanding principal balance of the TDR and/or 2) have the second individual obligor pursue the sale of an additional parcel of land which would significantly reduce the loan balance by maturity. When the loans mature, any remaining balance due must be paid in full or refinanced at that time. The TDR did not result in a material impact to the allowance for loan losses. There is no commitment to lend additional funds to the borrowers whose loans were modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The TDRs did not result in a material impact to the allowance for loan losses.

At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were no TDR loans in default of their modified terms.

The Company has one residential loan in the process of foreclosure with a recorded balance of $640,000 at September 30, 2016.

Credit Quality Information

The Bank utilizes a nine grade internal loan rating system for all commercial and construction loans as follows:

Loans rated 1 - 5: Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.

Loans rated 6: Loans in this category are considered “special mention.” These loans have risk profiles that are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

Loans rated 7: Loans in this category are considered “substandard.” These loans have a well defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt and is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or pledged collateral. There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Loans rated 8: Loans in this category are considered “doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans rated 9: Loans in this category are considered a “loss.” The loan has been determined to be uncollectible and the chance of loss is inevitable. Loans in this category will be charged-off.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Bank formally reviews the ratings on all commercial and construction loans. For residential real estate and consumer loans, the Bank initially assesses credit quality based on the borrower’s ability to pay and subsequently monitors these loans based on the borrower’s payment activity; however, these loans are not formally risk-rated.

Loans serviced for others and mortgage servicing rights

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of mortgage loans serviced for others were $88.2 million and $100.5 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The risks inherent in the mortgage servicing assets relate primarily to changes in prepayments that result from shifts in mortgage interest rates. The fair value of servicing rights was $691,000 and $1.1 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and was determined using the moving average 10-year, U.S. Treasury rate plus 5.0%, adjusted to reflect the current credit spreads and conditions in the market as a discount rate. Prepayment assumptions, which are impacted by loan rates and terms, are calculated using a moving average of prepayment data published by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association and an independent third party proprietary analysis of prepayment rates embedded in liquid mortgage securities markets and modeled against the serviced loan portfolio by the independent third party valuation specialist.

(7)Secured Borrowings and Collateral

Federal Home Loan Bank advances

At September 30, 2016 all Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLB”) advances were secured by a blanket security agreement on qualified collateral, principally first mortgage loans on owner-occupied residential property in the amount of $76.3 million, commercial real estate loans in the amount of $24.2 million and mortgage-backed securities with a fair value of $18.6 million.

(8)Fair Value Measurements

The Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value as follows:

Level l - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level l assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. At September 30, 2016, the Company had no assets or liabilities valued using Level 1 measurements.

Level 2 - Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level l 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 for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Table of Contents

All of the Company’s securities that are measured at fair value are included in Level 2 and are based on pricing models from independent, third party pricing services that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, credit spreads and new issue data. There are no liabilities measured at fair value. All of the Company’s impaired loans that are measured at fair value are included in Level 3 and are based on the appraised value of the underlying collateral considering discounting factors, if deemed appropriate, and adjusted for selling costs. These appraised values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, expertise or changes in market conditions from time of valuation. The Company did not have any significant transfers of assets or liabilities to or from Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are summarized below.

The Company may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are summarized below. The fair value adjustments relate to the amount of write-down recorded or related allowance recorded as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term investments approximate fair values.

Securities: Fair values for the Company’s debt securities are based on pricing models that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, credit spreads and new issue data.

FHLB and Bankers Bank Northeast (BBN) stock: Fair value is based on redemption provisions of the FHLB and BBN. The FHLB and BBN stock have no quoted market value.

Loans held for sale: Fair value is based on committed secondary market prices.

Loans: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Capitalized mortgage servicing rights: Fair value is based on a quarterly, independent third-party valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model utilizes a variety of assumptions, the most significant of which are loan prepayment assumptions and the discount rate used to discount future cash flows. Prepayment assumptions, which are impacted by loan rates and terms, are calculated using a moving average of prepayment data published by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association and a third party proprietary analysis of prepayment rates embedded in liquid mortgage securities markets and modeled against the serviced loan portfolio by the independent third party valuation specialist. The discount rate is the moving average 10-year, U.S. Treasury rate plus 5.0% adjusted to reflect the current credit spreads and conditions in the market. Other assumptions include delinquency rates, foreclosure rates, servicing cost inflation, and annual unit loan cost. All assumptions are adjusted periodically to reflect current circumstances and all are obtained from independent market sources.

Deposits: The fair values for non-certificate accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date which is the carrying amount. Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted

Table of Contents

cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Short-term FHLB advances: The fair value of short-term FHLB advances approximates carrying value, as they generally mature within 90 days.

Long-term FHLB advances: The fair value for long-term FHLB advances is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current market borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Mortgagors’ escrow accounts: The fair value of mortgagors’ escrow accounts approximates carrying value.

Accrued interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Off-balance-sheet instruments: The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments and the unadvanced portion of loans, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligation with the counterparties at the reporting date. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value of commitments outstanding is not significant since fees charged are not material.

The estimated fair values and related carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This document may contain certain forward-looking statements, such as statements of the Company’s or the Bank’s plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “expects,” “subject,” and “believe,” “will,” “intends,” “will be” or “would.” These statements are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s or the Bank’s control) and actual results may differ materially. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis of factors only as of the date of which they are given. These factors include general economic conditions, trends in interest rates, the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans, the ability of the Company or the Bank to effectively manage its growth, and results of regulatory examinations, among other factors. The foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Except as required by applicable law and regulation, the Company does not undertake — and specifically disclaims any obligation — to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Overview

The Company’s results of operations depend primarily on net interest and dividend income, which is the difference between the interest and dividend income earned on its interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense on its interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and FHLB advances. The Company also generates non-interest income, primarily from fees and service charges and mortgage banking income. The Company’s non-interest expense primarily consists of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, advertising, data processing, professional fees and other operating expenses.

On October 6, 2016, the Company announced that Salem Five Bancorp, parent of Salem Five Cents Savings Bank and the Company had signed a definitive agreement whereby Salem Five Bancorp has agreed to acquire the Company and the Bank, in an all cash transaction valued at approximately $49.2 million. Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of the Company will receive $26.00 in cash in exchange for each share of Company common stock. The respective boards of each parent company have unanimously approved the transaction. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory and shareholder approval and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2017.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $771,000 compared to the same period in 2015. The decrease in net income was primarily due to an increase in non-interest expense and a decrease in non-interest income, partially offset by an increase in net interest and dividend income. Net interest and dividend income increased primarily due to an increase in average loans outstanding. Non-interest expenses increased $1.3 million, or 19.9%, to $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to the costs associated with an increase in commercial lending support, regulatory compliance staff and $136,000 in expenses related to the merger agreement with Salem Five Bancorp that were not deductible for income tax purposes. Non-interest income decreased $98,000, or 11.7%, primarily due to a decrease in gain on sale of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans. We continued to maintain strong asset quality, as non-performing assets to total assets was 0.31% at September 30, 2016. We converted our Loan Production Office (“LPO”) in southern New Hampshire to a full service office in June 2016.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assumptions by management and that have, or could have, a material impact on our income or the carrying value of our assets. Our critical accounting policies are those related to our allowance for loan losses and the valuation of our deferred tax assets.

Table of Contents

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a monthly basis by management and is based upon management’s monthly review of the collectability of the loans in light of known and inherent risks in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. Additionally, as part of the evaluation of the level of the allowance for loan losses, on a quarterly basis management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including, but not limited to, charge-off history, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance for loan losses consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance for loan losses is established when the discounted cash flows or the fair value of the existing collateral (less costs to sell) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component may be maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

We periodically may agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring. All troubled debt restructurings are initially classified as impaired.

Adjustable-rate mortgage loans decrease the risk associated with changes in market interest rates by periodically repricing, but involve other risks because, as interest rates increase, the underlying payments by the borrower increase, thus increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustment of the contractual interest rate is also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents and, therefore, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgage loans may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates.

Loans secured by commercial real estate, multi-family and one- to four-family investment properties generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate, including multi-family and one- to four-family investment properties, are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value.

Construction and development financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon

Table of Contents

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 proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Additionally, if the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project, when completed, having a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment.

Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when, based upon the available evidence including historical and projected taxable income, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015

Total assets increased $18.5 million, or 6.23%, to $315.0 million at September 30, 2016 from $296.5 million at December 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to an increase in loans.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $1.2 million, or 16.1%, to $9.0 million at September 30, 2016 from $7.8 million at December 31, 2015. This increase resulted from the timing of normal cash flows.

Loans, net of allowance for loan losses, increased $17.8 million, or 7.0%, to $271.8 million at September 30, 2016 from $254.0 million at December 31, 2015, due primarily to an increase in commercial loans and construction loans. Despite the current competitive market, we have decided to maintain our historically high underwriting standards instead of relaxing these standards, and we have not reduced loan rates below levels at which we could operate profitably. Commercial loans increased $13.1 million, or 10.0%, to $143.7 million at September 30, 2016 from $130.7 million at December 31, 2015, primarily due to a $14.5 million, or 21.7%, increase in commercial real estate loans. Construction loans increased by $4.4 million, or 21.6%, to $24.8 million at September 30, 2016 from $20.4 million at December 31, 2015, primarily due to a $3.2 million, or 216.0%, increase in multi-family construction loans. The majority of our construction loans remain collateralized by residential real estate (73.3% at September 30, 2016 and 70.9% at December 31, 2015). One- to four-family residential mortgage loans increased $2.7 million, or 3.2%, to $89.2 million at September 30, 2016 from $86.5 million at December 31, 2015, due to $15.8 million in loan purchases offset by an increase in loan prepayments due to loan refinances out of the Bank as rates have decreased. Home equity loans and lines of credit decreased $2.4 million, or 12.8%, to $15.9 million at September 30, 2016 from $18.3 million at December 31, 2015, due to increased loan payoffs.

Our total securities portfolio decreased $546,000, or 2.5%, to $21.6 million at September 30, 2016 from $22.1 million at December 31, 2015, due to principal payments received on mortgage-backed securities offset by the purchase of securities.

Deposits increased $32.4 million, or 15.6%, to $240.1 million at September 30, 2016 from $207.7 million at December 31, 2015. The increase in deposits was primarily due to an increase of $24.7 million, or 34.1%, in certificates of deposit, as promotional rates have been offered on terms between 18 and 48 months. Demand deposits increased $2.2 million, or 7.8%, and NOW accounts increased $1.9 million, or 6.4%. Management continues to focus on the generation of core checking accounts through use of the Haberfeld checking account acquisition program.

Total FHLB advances decreased $12.3 million, or 24.2%, to $38.3 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $50.6 million at December 31, 2015, primarily due to the inflow of deposits which were used to pay off maturing advances. Short-term advances decreased $9.8 million and long-term advances decreased $2.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Stockholders’ equity increased $532,000, or 1.7%, to $32.4 million at September 30, 2016 from $31.9 million at December 31, 2015. The increase resulted primarily from net income of $267,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and other comprehensive income, partially offset by dividend payments and stock repurchases.

Total delinquent loans increased $183,000, from $938,000 at December 31, 2015 to $1.1 million at September 30, 2016, primarily in one- to four-family mortgage and home equity loans and lines of credit.

Non-performing assets totaled $964,000 and $776,000 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Total non-performing assets represented 0.31% and 0.26% of total assets at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Loans classified as substandard increased $1.0 million, to $2.9 million at September 30, 2016 from $1.9 million at December 31, 2015, primarily due to two loans, a commercial real estate loan and a commercial business loan, being downgraded from the special mention classification to substandard. There was no material impact to the allowance for loan losses due to the downgraded loans.

The allowance for loan losses increased $143,000 to $2.6 million at September 30, 2016 primarily due to the growth in the commercial loan portfolio. Loan charge-offs were $2,000 and recoveries were $4,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to loan charge-offs of $25,000 and recoveries of $4,000 for the same period in 2015. The allowance represented 0.93% of total loans at September 30, 2016 and 0.94% of total loans at December 31, 2015. At these levels, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 264.63% at September 30, 2016 and 310.31% at December 31, 2015.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 and 2015

General. Net income decreased $390,000, or 91.8%, to $35,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, from $425,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease in net income was caused by an increase in non-interest expense and a decrease in non-interest income, partially offset by a decrease in the provision for loan losses.

Table of Contents

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased $187,000, or 6.3%, to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in interest income on loans. Interest income on loans increased $188,000, or 6.6%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, due to a $24.8 million, or 10.2%, increase in the average balance of loans, partially offset by a 15 basis point decrease in yield to 4.51% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from 4.66% for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Interest and dividend income on investment securities decreased $3,000, or 2.1%, to $143,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $146,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, due to a $669,000, or 2.8%, decrease in the average balance of investment securities and by an 11 basis point decrease in yield to 2.33% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from 2.44% for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $197,000, or 45.7%, to $628,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $431,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Interest expense on deposits increased $215,000, or 79.6%, to $485,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $270,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $37.7 million, or 22.5%, to $204.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $167.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and an increase in the average rate we paid on interest-bearing deposits to 1.04% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 0.79% for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to certificates of deposit, as promotional rates have been offered on terms between 18 and 48 months. Interest expense on certificates of deposit increased $197,000, or 116.6%, to $366,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $169,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 due to an increase in the average balance in certificates of deposit of $35.8 million, or 60.9%, to $94.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $58.8 million for the same period in 2015 and by an increase in the average rate we paid on certificates of deposit to 1.55% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 1.15% for the same period in 2015. Interest expense on money market deposits increased $18,000, or 22.8%, to $97,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $79,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 due to an increase in the average balance in money market deposits of $400,000, or 0.6%, to $63.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $62.6 million for the same period in 2015 and by an increase in the average rate we paid on money market deposits to 0.62% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 0.50% for the same period in 2015.

Interest expense on FHLB advances decreased $18,000, or 11.2%, to $143,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $161,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a $16.4 million, or 31.4%, decrease in the average outstanding balance of advances to $35.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $52.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, partially offset by the average rate we paid, which increased 36 basis points to 1.59% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 1.23% for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The average outstanding balance of long-term advances decreased $2.5 million, or 8.9%, to $25.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $28.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and the average outstanding balance of short-term advances decreased $13.9 million, or 57.5%, to $10.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $24.2 million for the same period in 2015, as we paid off advances with deposit increases. We expect the average balance of short-term FHLB advances to increase in the near term, as we fund current loan demand.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income decreased $10,000, or 0.4%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease in net interest and dividend income was primarily the result of a 34 basis point, or 8.9%, decrease in the net interest margin to 3.43% for the three months ended September 30, 2016, from 3.77% for the same period in 2015, partially offset by a $4.3 million, or 8.1%, increase in net interest earning assets to $56.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, from $52.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Our net interest margin may compress in the future due to competitive pricing in our market area and due to a rising interest rate environment.

Table of Contents

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial statements. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses quarterly, management analyzes several quantitative and qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including but not limited to, charge-off history over a relevant period, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. After an evaluation of these factors, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $67,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to a provision for loan losses of $111,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. There were no loan charge-offs and $1,000 in recoveries for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The allowance for loan losses was $2.6 million, or 0.93%, of total loans and 264.63% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2016, compared to an allowance for loan losses of $2.4 million, or 0.94%, of total loans and 310.31% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2015. For additional information please refer to Note 6, Loans and Servicing.

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $130,000, or 34.8%, to $244,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $374,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to a decrease in the gain on sale of SBA loans, a decrease in customer service fees and mortgage banking income, net. Gain on sale of SBA loans decreased $86,000, or 100%, as there was no such activity for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Income from customer service fees decreased $32,000, or 16.9%, to $157,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $189,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a $17,000 decrease in overdraft fees, an $11,000 decrease in commercial guidance line fees and a $6,000 decrease in consumer deposit account service charges as the current products offered have reduced fees associated with them, partially offset by a $2,000 increase in commercial deposit account service charges. Mortgage banking income, net, decreased $11,000, or 18.0%, to $50,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $61,000 for the same period in 2015.

Non-interest Expenses. Non-interest expense increased $459,000, or 21.6%, to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, from $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Salaries and benefits expense increased $193,000, or 15.9%, primarily due to the costs associated with an increase in commercial lending support and regulatory compliance staff. Professional fees increased $47,000, or 38.2%, primarily due to the expenses associated with enhancements to our regulatory compliance staff and compliance programs. Merger related expenses, that were not deductible for income tax purposes, totaled $136,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2016. Other general and administrative expenses increased $65,000, or 26.2%, due primarily to recruitment fees associated with the commercial lending staff.

Income Tax Expense. The income before income taxes of $139,000 resulted in income tax expense of $104,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to income before income taxes of $694,000 resulting in an income tax expense of $269,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The effective income tax rate was 74.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 38.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to merger related expenses of $136,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2016, that are not deductible for income tax purposes.

Table of Contents

Average Balance Sheet. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Company’s average balance sheet for the periods indicated, including the average annualized yields on its interest-earning assets and the average annualized costs of its interest-bearing liabilities. Average yields are calculated by dividing the annualized interest and dividend income produced by the average balance of interest-earning assets. Average costs are calculated by dividing the annualized interest expense produced by the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The average balances for the period are derived from average balances that are calculated daily. The average annualized yields and costs include fees that are considered adjustments to such average yields and costs.

Municipal securities income and net interest income are presented on a tax-equivalent basis using a tax rate of 34% resulting in an adjustment of $10,000 and $7,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 and 2015

General. Net income decreased $771,000, or 74.3%, to $267,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, from $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease in net income was caused by an increase in non-interest expense and a decrease in non-interest income, partially offset by an increase in net interest and dividend income.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased $807,000, or 9.2%, to $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in interest income on loans. Interest income on loans increased $778,000, or 9.4%, to $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, due to a $26.8 million, or 11.4%, increase in the average balance of loans, partially offset by an eight basis point decrease in yield to 4.60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from 4.68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $569,000, or 46.0%, to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Interest expense on deposits increased $598,000, or 79.3%, to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $754,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $36.5 million, or 22.3%, to $200.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $163.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and an increase in the average rate we paid on interest-bearing deposits to 0.90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 0.61% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to certificates of deposit, as promotional rates have been offered on terms between 18 and 48 months. Interest expense on certificates of deposit increased $515,000, or 102.3%, to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $503,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 due to an increase in the average balance in certificates of deposit of $30.1 million, or 50.5%, to $89.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $59.6 million for the same period in 2015 and by an increase in the average rate we paid on certificates of deposit to 1.51% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 1.12% for the same period in 2015. Interest expense on money market deposits increased $75,000, or 39.7%, to $263,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $188,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 due to an increase in the average balance in money market deposits of $3.8 million, or 6.5%, to $62.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $58.2 million for the same period in 2015 and by an increase in the average rate we paid on money market deposits to 0.57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 0.43% for the same period in 2015.

Interest expense on FHLB advances decreased $29,000, or 6.0%, to $454,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $483,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due an $11.2 million, or 23.1%, decrease in the average outstanding balance of advances to $37.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $48.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, partially offset by the average rate we paid, which increased 29 basis points to 1.61% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 1.32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The average outstanding balance of long-term advances decreased $2.5 million, or 8.7%, to $26.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $28.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the average outstanding balance of short-term advances decreased $8.7 million, or 43.6%, to $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $20.0 million for the same period in 2015, as we paid off advances with deposit increases. We expect the average balance of short-term FHLB advances to increase in the near term, as we fund current loan demand.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income increased $238,000, or 3.2%, to $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in net interest and dividend income was primarily the result of a $2.9 million, or 5.6%, increase in net average interest-earning assets to $55.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, from $52.3 million for the same period in 2015. Our net interest margin may compress in the future due to competitive pricing in our market area and due to a rising interest rate environment.

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial statements. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses quarterly, management analyzes several quantitative and qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including but not limited to, charge-off history over a relevant period, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. After an evaluation of these factors, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $141,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to a provision for loan losses of $138,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. There were $2,000 in charge-offs and $4,000 in

Table of Contents

recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $25,000 in charge-offs and $4,000 in recoveries for the same period in 2015. The allowance for loan losses was $2.6 million, or 0.93%, of total loans and 264.63% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2016, compared to an allowance for loan losses of $2.4 million, or 0.94%, of total loans and 310.31% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2015. For additional information please refer to Note 6, Loans and Servicing.

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $98,000, or 11.7%, to $741,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $839,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to a decrease in gain on sale of SBA loans and customer service fees. The gain on sale of SBA loans was $15,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $86,000 during the same period in 2015. Income from customer service fees decreased $27,000, or 5.0%, to $512,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $539,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily from a $14,000 decrease in overdraft fees, a $5,000 decrease in commercial guidance line fees and a $14,000 decrease in consumer deposit account service charges as the current products offered have reduced fees associated with them, partially offset by a $6,000 increase in commercial deposit account service charges. Mortgage banking income, net decreased 7,000, or 6.3%, to $105,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $112,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a decreased level of residential loan origination volume.

Non-interest Expenses. Non-interest expense increased $1.3 million, or 19.9%, to $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, from $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Salaries and benefits expense increased $630,000, or 17.3%, primarily due to the costs associated with an increase in commercial lending support and regulatory compliance staff. Professional fees increased $364,000, or 99.7%, primarily due to expenses associated with enhancements to our regulatory compliance staff and compliance programs. Merger related expenses, that were not tax deductible for income tax purposes, totaled $136,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Data processing expenses increased $72,000, or 15.1%, primarily due to one-time implementation fees of $66,000 expensed during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Income Tax Expense. The income before income taxes of $503,000 resulted in income tax expense of $236,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to income before income taxes of $1.7 million resulting in an income tax expense of $629,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The effective income tax rate was 46.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 37.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to merger related expenses of $136,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, that are not deductible for income tax purposes.

Average Balance Sheet. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Company’s average balance sheet for the periods indicated, including the average yields on its interest-earning assets and the average costs of its interest-bearing liabilities. Average yields are calculated by dividing the interest and dividend income produced by the average balance of interest-bearing assets. Average costs are calculated by dividing the interest expense produced by the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The average balances for the period are derived from average balances that are calculated daily. The average yields and costs include fees that are considered adjustments to such average yields and costs.

Liquidity Management. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and maturities and investment securities. 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.

We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term securities. The excess cash and cash equivalent balances are expected to be used to fund increases in loans and securities.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2016, cash and cash equivalents

Table of Contents

totaled $9.0 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $18.9 million at September 30, 2016. Our policies also allow for access to the wholesale funds market for up to 40.0% of total assets, or $126.0 million. At September 30, 2016, we had $38.4 million in FHLB advances outstanding, $28.2 million in certificates of deposit obtained through a listing service and $3.3 million in brokered certificates of deposit, allowing the Company access to an additional $56.1 million in wholesale funds based on policy guidelines.

At September 30, 2016 we had $6.4 million in loan commitments outstanding. In addition to commitments to originate loans, we had $52.0 million in unadvanced funds to borrowers.

At September 30, 2016 we had $2.0 million in outstanding irrevocable stand-by letters of credit. These letters of credit, which have terms of twelve months, collateralize specific municipal deposits. The fair value of these letters of credit approximate contract values based on the nature of the fee arrangements with the FHLB.

Certificates of deposit due within one year of September 30, 2016 totaled $40.4 million, or 16.8% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit or other wholesale funding options. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before September 30, 2017. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

We have no material commitments or demands that are likely to affect our liquidity other than set forth below. In the event loan demand were to increase at a pace greater than expected, or any unforeseen demand or commitment were to occur, we would access our borrowing capacity with the FHLB and other wholesale market sources.

Our primary investing activities are the origination and purchase of loans and the purchase of securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we originated $69.5 million in loans, purchased $15.8 million of residential loans and purchased $4.5 million of investment securities. We expect to purchase additional residential mortgages to replace recent residential loan prepayments.

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts and FHLB advances. We experienced a net increase in total deposits of $32.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive. FHLB advances decreased $12.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 due to deposit growth. FHLB advances have primarily been used to fund loan demand and deposit outflows. We sold $210,000 of SBA loans and $247,000 of residential mortgages during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Capital Management. Effective January 1, 2015 (with a phase-in period of two to five years for certain components), the Bank became subject to new capital regulations adopted by the OCC and other federal bank regulatory agencies that implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and the changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. Among other things, the regulations established a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), increased the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assigns a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The regulations also require unrealized gains and losses on certain “available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements unless a one-time opt-in or opt-out is exercised. The regulations limit a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The regulations also implement the Dodd-Frank Act’s directive to apply to savings and loan holding companies consolidated capital requirements that are not less stringent than those applicable to their subsidiary institutions. The “capital conservation buffer” will be phased in from January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2019, when the full capital conservation buffer will be effective.

At September 30, 2016, Georgetown Bank met each of its capital requirements and was considered “well-capitalized”, and also met each of its capital requirements on a fully phased-in basis.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure (1) 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; and (2) that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
