General

Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc.

Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), is a unitary thrift holding company for Wayne Savings Community Bank (the “Bank”). The only significant asset of the Company is its investment in the Bank. The Bank conducts its business from eleven full-service locations. The Company’s principal office is located at 151 North Market Street, Wooster, Ohio, and its telephone number at that address is (330) 264-5767. At December 31, 2014, the Company had total assets of $417.7 million, total deposits of $348.9 million, and stockholders’ equity of $40.0 million, or 9.6% of total assets.

Wayne Savings Community Bank

The Bank is an Ohio-chartered stock savings and loan association headquartered in Wooster, Ohio. The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank has been a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) System since 1937.

The Bank is a community-oriented institution offering a full range of consumer and business financial services to the local community. The Bank’s primary lending and deposit gathering area includes Wayne, Holmes, Ashland, Medina and Stark counties, where it operates eleven full-service offices. This contiguous five-county area is located in northeast Ohio, and is an active manufacturing and agricultural market. The Bank’s principal business activities consist of originating one-to-four family residential real estate loans, multi-family residential, commercial and nonresidential real estate loans. The Bank also originates non-real estate, secured commercial loans, consumer loans, and to a lesser extent, construction loans. The Bank also invests in mortgage-backed securities, obligations issued by state and political subdivisions and a small position of private-label collateralized mortgage obligations and other liquid investments, such as United States Government securities, federal funds, and deposits in other financial institutions.

In 2005, the Company began a strategic initiative to diversify the composition of its balance sheet by placing an increased emphasis on commercial lending. The primary objective was to reallocate financial resources away from long duration residential mortgage loans and low yielding mortgage securities while maintaining a relatively low risk profile with a sustainable income stream. Mortgage refinancings caused by the low interest rate environment caused a $7.3 million increase in one-to-four family residential mortgage loans from $162.4 million, or 66.6% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 2011, to $169.7 million, or 61.7% of the total loan portfolio, at December 31, 2014. This increase was mainly due to growth in our 15 year fixed-rate mortgage product and our 30 year one-to-four family residential construction loans as interest rates remained at their historic low levels during the period. Over the previous five fiscal periods, commercial business lending and commercial lending collateralized by multi-family properties increased by $9.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Nonresidential real estate loans and commercial loans generally carry higher yields and shorter terms than one-to-four family loans. The increased emphasis on commercial lending has diversified the loan portfolio, expanded the Company’s product offerings and broadened the Company’s customer base and its corresponding ability to crosssell its varied product offerings. This change in emphasis has also resulted in increased staffing expense and, in the current economic environment, increased provisions for loan losses due to the higher inherent risk associated with commercial lending activities. Loan demand increased during the current year due to the low interest rate environment and increased sales efforts in the commercial lending division resulting in an increase in the loan portfolio funded by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and increased deposit balances.

Market Area/Local Economy

The Bank, headquartered in Wooster, Ohio, operates in Wayne, Ashland, Medina, Holmes and Stark Counties in northeast Ohio. Wooster is located in Wayne County and is approximately midway between Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio.

Wayne County is characterized by a diverse economic base, which is not dependent on any particular industry. It is one of the leading agricultural counties in the state. Since 1892, Wooster has been the headquarters of the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, the agricultural research arm of The Ohio State University. In addition, Wayne County is also the home base of several nationally known companies including The J.M. Smucker Company, and the Wooster Brush Company. It is also the home of many industrial plants, including LuK USA, Morton Salt, Artiflex, JLG Industries and Frito-Lay, Inc. The City of Wooster has a regional medical center, with a successful city-owned hospital and significant commitment by the world renowned Cleveland Clinic through state of the art medical facilities. Wayne County is also known for its excellence in education. The College of Wooster was founded in 1866 and serves 2,100 students during the school season. Other quality educational opportunities are offered by the Agricultural Technical Institute of The Ohio State University, and Wayne College, a branch of The University of Akron. In Wayne County, the Bank operates four full-service offices in Wooster, one stand-alone drive-thru facility and one full-service office in each of Rittman and Creston, both in northern Wayne County, adjacent to Medina County.

Ashland County, which is located due west of Wayne County, also has a diverse economic base. In addition to its agricultural segment, Ashland County has manufacturing plants producing rubber and plastics, machinery, transportation equipment, chemicals, apparel, and other items. Ashland is also the home of Ashland University, which was founded in 1878 and serves approximately 6,000 students. The City of Ashland is the county seat and the location of two of the Bank’s branch offices, one of which is an in-store branch.

Medina County, located just north of Wayne County, is the center of a fertile agricultural region. While farming remains the largest industry in the county in terms of dollar value of goods produced, over 100 small manufacturing firms also operate in the county. The City of Medina is located in the center of the Cleveland-Akron-Lorain Standard Consolidated Statistical Marketing Area. Medina is located approximately 30 miles south of Cleveland and 15 miles west of Akron. Due to its proximity to Akron and Cleveland, a majority of Medina County’s labor force is employed in these two cities. The Bank operates one full-service office in Medina County, which is located in the Village of Lodi, in the southernmost part of the county, adjacent to Wayne County.

Holmes County, located directly south of Wayne County, has a mostly rural economy. The local economy depends mostly upon agriculture, light manufacturing, fabrics, and wood products. Because of the scenic beauty and a large Amish community, revenues from tourism are becoming increasingly significant. The county is also noted for its many fine cheese-making operations. A large number of Holmes County residents are employed in Wayne County. The City of Millersburg is the county seat and the location of one of the Bank’s branch offices.

Stark County, located directly east of Wayne County, is characterized by a diverse economy that includes a rich manufacturing heritage, which results in the production of a wide variety of products. In addition to manufacturing, Stark County also has a strong agricultural base including the production of dairy products. The major employers in North Canton are Diebold Incorporated (a major manufacturer of bank security products and automated teller machines) the Timken Company (a world-wide manufacturer of

2

tapered roller bearings and power transmission components and systems) and the TimkenSteel Company (a world-wide manufacturer specialty steels). Jackson Township is the home to the Westfield Belden Village Shopping Center, while Plain Township is a residential and agricultural area with a few widely scattered light industries. North Canton is the location of one of the Bank’s branches.

Lending Activities

General. Historically, the principal lending activity of the Company was the origination of fixed and adjustable rate mortgage (“ARM”) loans collateralized by one-to-four family residential properties located in its market area. The Company originated ARM loans for retention in its portfolio, and fixed-rate loans eligible for resale in the secondary mortgage market. The Company continues to originate residential mortgage loans but is increasing the emphasis on the origination of loans collateralized by nonresidential and multi-family residential real estate, as well as commercial business loans. In addition, the Company is increasing its emphasis on the origination of consumer loans to broaden services offered to customers.

The Company has sought to make its interest-earning assets more interest rate sensitive by originating adjustable rate loans, such as ARM loans, home equity loans, and medium-term consumer loans. The Company also purchases mortgage-backed securities generally with estimated remaining average lives of five years or less. At December 31, 2014, approximately $120.1 million, or 43.7%, of the Company’s total loans consisted of loans or securities with adjustable interest rates.

The Company continues to actively originate fixed-rate mortgage loans, generally with 15 to 30 year terms to maturity, collateralized by one-to-four family residential properties. One-to-four family fixed-rate residential mortgage loans generally are originated and underwritten according to standards that allow the Company to sell such loans in the secondary mortgage market for purposes of managing interest rate risk and liquidity. From November 2005 until January 2009, the Company decided to retain all one-to-four family, fixed-rate residential mortgage loan originations with terms of 15 and 30 years to manage the size of the portfolio and to provide higher yields as compared to alternative investments. In accordance with a policy adopted by the Bank’s Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) that permits limited loan sales to address interest rate risk and liquidity concerns, during the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company sold $6.6 million and $7.3 million, respectively, of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans into the secondary market to limit the buildup of interest rate risk and to provide pipeline funding during a period where a large number of originations were occurring due to refinancing activity by consumers. The Company retains servicing on its sold mortgage loans. The Company also originates interim construction loans on one-to-four family residential properties.

The Company has continued to develop the commercial business loan program in order to increase the Company’s interest rate sensitive assets, increase interest income and diversify both the loan portfolio and the Company’s customer base. The Company has four experienced commercial lenders to manage this portfolio. The Company targets small local businesses with loan amounts in the $50,000 - $1.0 million range with a majority of loans under $500,000. Overall, commercial business loans increased to $16.3 million at December 31, 2014, as compared to $8.2 million at March 31, 2011, nonresidential real estate and land loans increased from $62.5 million, or 25.6% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 2011, to $71.8 million, or 26.0% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2014.

One-to-Four Family Residential Real Estate Loans. A significant part of the Company’s lending activity consists of the origination of one-to-four family, owner-occupied, residential mortgage loans on properties located in the Company’s market area. The Company also originates loans to commercial customers secured by one-to-four family non-owner occupied properties. The Company generally does not originate one-to-four family residential loans secured by properties outside of its market area. At December 31, 2014, the Company had $169.7 million, or 61.7%, of its total loan portfolio invested in loans secured by one-to-four family residential mortgage properties.

The Company’s fixed-rate loans generally are originated and underwritten according to standards that permit resale in the secondary mortgage market (so-called “conforming mortgages”) and, in accordance with the “Qualified Mortgage” (“QM”) rules that became effective January 10, 2014 as issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) will be considered to be Qualified Mortgages. Certain loans may be originated with certain exceptions that make the loans non-conforming and not qualified mortgages. These loans are limited in number and are reported to the Bank’s Board of Directors on a quarterly basis as exceptions to the Bank’s Loan Policy.

Whether the Company can or will sell fixed-rate loans into the secondary market, however, depends on a number of factors including the Company’s portfolio mix, interest rate risk and liquidity positions, and market conditions. The Company’s fixed-rate mortgage loans are amortized on a monthly basis with principal and interest due each month. One-to-four family residential real estate loans often remain outstanding for significantly shorter periods than their contractual terms because borrowers may refinance or prepay loans at their option. The Company’s one-to-four family residential portfolio has increased $2.9 million or 1.8%, from December 31, 2013, to December 31, 2014. Sales into the secondary market were $6.6 million and $7.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Such sales generally constituted current period originations. There were no loans identified as held-for-sale at December 31, 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011 or during fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

The Company currently offers one-to-four family residential mortgage loans with terms typically ranging from 15 to 30 years, and with adjustable or fixed interest rates. Originations of fixed-rate mortgage loans versus ARM loans are monitored on an ongoing basis and are affected significantly by the level of market interest rates, customer preference, the Company’s interest rate risk position, and loan products offered by the Company’s competitors. The low interest rate environment over the last few years has resulted in a strong customer preference for fixed-rate mortgage loans.

The Company offers one ARM loan product. The Treasury ARM loan adjusts annually with interest rate adjustment limitations of 2% per year and with a cap of 3% or 5% on total rate increases or decreases over the life of the loan. The index on the Treasury ARM loan is the weekly average yield on U.S. Treasury securities, adjusted to a constant maturity of one year plus a margin. However, these loans are underwritten at the fullyindexed interest rate. All loans require monthly principal and interest payments and negative amortization is not permitted. One-to-four family residential ARM loans totaled $44.2 million, or 16.1% of the Company’s total loan portfolio at December 31, 2014.

The primary purpose of offering ARM loans is to make the Company’s loan portfolio more interest rate sensitive. However, as the interest income earned on ARM loans varies with prevailing interest rates, such loans do not offer the Company as predictable cash flows compared to long-term, fixed-rate loans. ARM loans carry increased credit risk associated with potentially higher monthly payments by borrowers as general market interest rates increase. It is possible, therefore, that during periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on ARM loans may increase due to the upward adjustment of interest costs to the borrower. Management believes that the Company’s credit risk associated with its ARM loans is reduced because the Company has either a 3% or 5% cap on interest rate increases during the life of its ARM loans.

6

The Company also offers home equity loans and equity lines of credit collateralized by a second mortgage on the borrower’s principal residence. In underwriting these home equity loans, the Company requires that the maximum loan-to-value ratios, including the principal balances of both the first and second mortgage loans, not exceed 85%. The home equity loan portfolio consists of adjustable rate loans which use the prime rate as published inThe Wall Street Journal as the interest rate index. Home equity loans include fixed term adjustable rate loans, as well as lines of credit. As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s home equity loan portfolio totaled $14.7 million, or 8.6%, of its one-to-four family mortgage loan portfolio.

The Company’s one-to-four family residential first mortgage loans customarily include due-on-sale clauses, which are provisions giving the Company the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, that the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the underlying real property serving as security for the loan. Due-on-sale clauses are an important means of adjusting the rates on the Company’s fixed-rate mortgage loan portfolio.

Regulations limit the amount that a savings association may lend relative to the appraised value of the real estate securing the loan, as determined by an appraisal at the time of loan origination. The Company’s lending policies limit the maximum loan-to-value ratio on both fixed-rate and ARM loans without private mortgage insurance to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or the purchase price of the property to serve as collateral for the loan. However, the Company makes one-to-four family real estate loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%. For 15 year fixed-rate and ARM loans with loan-to-value ratios of 80.01% to 85%, 85.01% to 90%, 90.01% to 95%, and 95.01% to 97%, the Company requires the first 6%, 12%, 25% and 30%, respectively, of the loan to be covered by private mortgage insurance. For 30 year fixed-rate loans with loan-to-value ratios of 80.01% to 85%, 85.01% to 90%, and 90.01% to 97%, the Company requires the first 12%, 25%, and 30%, respectively, of the loan to be covered by private mortgage insurance. The Company requires fire and casualty insurance, as well as title insurance on all properties securing real estate loans made by the Company and flood insurance, where applicable.

Multi-Family Residential Real Estate Loans. Loans secured by multi-family real estate constituted approximately $12.2 million, or 4.4%, of the Company’s total loan portfolio at December 31, 2014. The Company’s multi-family real estate loans are secured by multi-family residences, such as apartment buildings. At December 31, 2014, most of the Company’s multi-family loans were secured by properties located within the Company’s market area with an average balance of $508,000 At December 31, 2014, the Company’s largest multi-family real estate loan had a principal balance of $2.9 million. Multi-family real estate loans currently are offered with adjustable interest rates or short-term balloon maturities, although in the past the Company originated fixed-rate long-term multi-family real estate loans. The terms of each multi-family loan are negotiated on a case-by-case basis, although such loans typically have adjustable interest rates tied to a market index, and amortize over 15 to 25 years. The Company currently does not have any multi-family real estate construction loans.

Loans secured by multi-family real estate generally involve a greater degree of credit risk than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans and carry larger loan balances. This increased credit risk is a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income-producing properties, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by multi-family real estate is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate property. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired.

Nonresidential Real Estate and Land Loans. Loans secured by nonresidential real estate constituted approximately $71.8 million, or 26.1%, of the Company’s total loan portfolio at December 31, 2014 compared to $67.1 million or 25.0% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2013. The Company has continued its strategy to diversify the loan portfolio and has experienced growth in loan demand over the past year. The Company’s nonresidential real estate loans are secured by improved property such as offices,

7

small business facilities, and other nonresidential buildings. At December 31, 2014, approximately $52.7 million, or 79.8%, of these loans are borrower occupied. At December 31, 2014, most of the Company’s nonresidential real estate loans were secured by properties located within the Company’s market area. The Company’s largest nonresidential real estate loan at December 31, 2014 had a principal balance of $3.1 million and the average balance of such loans was $354,000. The terms of each nonresidential real estate loan are negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Nonresidential real estate loans are currently offered with adjustable interest rates or short-term balloon maturities, although in the past the Company has originated fixed-rate, long-term, nonresidential real estate loans. Nonresidential real estate loans originated by the Company generally amortize over 15 to 25 years. The Company currently does not emphasize nonresidential real estate construction loans. Included in the loan tables above are nonresidential construction loans totaling $4.1 million which were undisbursed at December 31, 2014.

Loans secured by nonresidential real estate generally involve a greater degree of risk than one-to- four family residential mortgage loans and carry larger loan balances. This increased credit risk is a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income-producing properties, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by non-residential real estate is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate project. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired.

The Company also originates a limited number of land loans secured by individual improved and unimproved lots for future residential construction. In addition, the Company originates loans to commercial customers with land held as the collateral. Also included in this total were developed building lots of approximately $223,000. Land loans totaled $2.5 million at December 31, 2014.

Residential Construction Loans. To a lesser extent, the Company originates loans to finance the construction of one-to-four family residential property. At December 31, 2014, the Company had $2.9 million of its total loan portfolio invested in construction loans. The Company makes construction loans to private individuals and to builders. Loan proceeds are disbursed in increments as construction progresses and as inspections warrant. Construction loans are typically structured as permanent one-to-four family loans originated by the Company with a 12-month construction phase. Accordingly, upon completion of the construction phase, there is no change in interest rate or term to maturity of the original construction loan, nor is a new permanent loan originated.

Commercial Business Loans. Commercial business loans totaled $16.3 million, or 5.9% of the Company’s total loan portfolio at December 31, 2014. The Company has four experienced commercial lenders and plans to pursue commercial lending growth as part of the Company’s strategic plan to diversify the loan portfolio.

Commercial loans carry a higher degree of risk than one-to-four family residential loans. Such lending typically involves large loan balances concentrated in a single borrower or groups of related borrowers for rental or business properties. In addition, the payment experience on loans secured by income-producing properties is typically dependent on the success of the operation of the related project and thus is typically affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the economy. The Company originates commercial loans generally in the $50,000 to $1.0 million range with the majority of these loans being under $500,000. Commercial loans are generally underwritten based on the borrower’s ability to pay and assets such as buildings, land and equipment are taken as additional loan collateral. Each loan is evaluated for a level of risk and assigned a rating from “1” (the highest quality rating) to “7” (the lowest quality rating).

Consumer Loans. Ohio savings associations are authorized to invest in secured and unsecured consumer loans in an aggregate amount which, when combined with investments in commercial paper and

8

corporate debt securities, does not exceed 20% of an association’s assets. In addition, an Ohio savings association is permitted to invest up to 5% of its assets in loans for educational purposes.

As of December 31, 2014, consumer loans totaled $2.3 million, or 0.8%, of the Company’s total loan portfolio. The principal types of consumer loans offered by the Company are second mortgage loans, fixed-rate auto and truck loans, unsecured personal loans, and loans secured by deposit accounts. Consumer loans are offered primarily on a fixed-rate basis with maturities generally less than ten years.

The Company’s second mortgage consumer loans are secured by the borrower’s principal residence with a maximum loan-to-value ratio, including the principal balances of both the first and second mortgage loans, of 85% or less. Such loans are offered on a fixed-rate basis with terms of up to ten years. At December 31, 2014, second mortgage loans totaled $415,000, or 0.2%, of one-to-four family mortgage loans.

The underwriting standards employed by the Company for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s credit history and an assessment of the applicant’s ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. The quality and stability of the applicant’s monthly income are determined by analyzing the gross monthly income from primary employment, and additionally from any verifiable secondary income. Creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration. However, where applicable, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the collateral in relation to the proposed loan amount.

Consumer loans entail greater credit risk than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or secured by assets that depreciate rapidly, such as automobiles, mobile homes, boats, and recreational vehicles. In such cases, repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment for the outstanding loan and the remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In particular, amounts realizable on the sale of repossessed automobiles may be significantly reduced based upon the condition of the automobiles and the current level of demand for used automobiles. The Company adds a general provision on a regular basis to its consumer loan loss allowance, based on, among other factors, general economic conditions and prior loss experience. See “—Delinquencies and Classified Assets—Nonperforming and Impaired Assets,” and “—Classification of Assets” for information regarding the Company’s loan loss experience and reserve policy.

Loan Originations, Solicitation, Processing and Commitments. Loan originations are derived from a number of sources such as real estate agent referrals, existing customers, borrowers, builders, attorneys and walk-in customers. The Company has also entered into a number of participation loans with high quality lead lenders. The participations are outside the Company’s normal lending area and diversify the loan portfolio. Upon receiving a loan application, the Company obtains a credit report and employment verification to verify specific information relating to the applicant’s employment, income, and credit standing. In the case of a real estate loan, an appraiser approved by the Company appraises the real estate intended to secure the proposed loan. An underwriter in the Company’s loan department checks the loan application file for accuracy and completeness, and verifies the information provided. Conventional mortgage loans up to $240,000 can be approved by the mortgage loan underwriter. The mortgage department manager and mortgage department underwriter can also both approve loans that meet all requirements to be sold on the secondary market and comply with Freddie Mac underwriting of up to $417,000. All loans up to $400,000 can be approved by the Vice President Manager of Commercial Banking. Any loans between $400,000 and $500,000 must be approved by the Senior Vice President/Senior Loan Officer or the President and Chief Executive Officer. The Loan Committee must approve loans from $500,000 to $1.5 million and loans in excess of $1.5 million must be approved by the Board of Directors. The Loan Committee meets once a week to review and verify that loan officer approvals of loans are made within the scope of management’s authority. All approvals are subsequently ratified monthly by the full Board of Directors. Fire and casualty insurance is required at the time the loan is made and throughout the term of the loan. After the loan is

9

approved, a loan commitment letter is promptly issued to the borrower. At December 31, 2014, the Company had commitments to originate $735,000 of loans.

The commitment letter specifies the terms and conditions of the proposed loan including the amount of the loan, interest rate, amortization term, a brief description of the required collateral, and required insurance coverage. The borrower must provide proof of fire and casualty insurance on the property serving as collateral, which insurance must be maintained during the full term of the loan. A title search of the property is required on all loans secured by real property.

Loan Origination Fees and Other Income. In addition to interest earned on loans, the Company generally receives loan origination fees. The Company accounts for loan origination fees in accordance with FASB ASC 310-20. To the extent that loans are originated or acquired for the Company’s portfolio, FASB ASC 310-20 requires that the Company defer loan origination fees and costs and amortize such amounts as an adjustment of yield over the life of the loan by use of the level yield method. FASB ASC 310-20 reduces the amount of revenue recognized by many financial institutions at the time such loans are originated or acquired. Fees deferred under FASB ASC 310-20 are recognized into income immediately upon prepayment or the sale of the related loan. At December 31, 2014, the Company had $683,000 in deferred loan origination fees. Loan origination fees are volatile sources of income. Such fees vary with the volume and type of loans and commitments made and purchased, principal repayments, and competitive conditions in the mortgage markets, which in turn respond to the demand for and availability of money.

10

The Company receives other fees, service charges, and other income that consist primarily of deposit transaction account service charges, late charges and income from REO operations. The Company recognized fees and service charges of $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, and $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Loans to One Borrower. Savings associations are subject to the same limits as those applicable to national banks, which under current regulations restrict loans to one borrower to an amount equal to 15% of unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus on an unsecured basis, and an additional amount equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral (generally, financial instruments and bullion, but not real estate). At December 31, 2014, the Company’s largest concentration of loans to one borrower totaled $5.0 million. All of the loans in this concentration were current in accordance with their original terms at December 31, 2014. The Company had no loans at December 31, 2014, which exceeded the loans to one borrower regulations.

Delinquencies and Classified Assets

Delinquencies. The Company’s collection procedures provide that when a loan is 15 days past due, a computer-generated late charge notice is sent to the borrower requesting payment, plus a late charge. This notice is followed with a letter again requesting payment when the payment becomes 20 days past due. If delinquency continues, at 30 days another collection letter is sent and personal contact efforts are attempted, either in person or by telephone, to strengthen the collection process and obtain reasons for the delinquency. Also, a repayment plan is established. If a loan becomes 60 days past due, the loan becomes subject to possible legal action if suitable arrangements to repay have not been made. In addition, the borrower is given information which provides access to consumer counseling services, to the extent required by HUD regulations. When a loan continues in a delinquent status for 90 days or more, and a repayment schedule has not been established or adhered to by the borrower, a notice of intent to foreclose is sent to the borrower, giving 30 days to cure the delinquency. If not cured, foreclosure proceedings are initiated.

Nonperforming and Impaired Assets. Loans are reviewed on a regular basis and are placed on a non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is doubtful. Mortgage loans are placed on non-accrual status generally when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due and management considers the interest uncollectible. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status is charged against interest income.

Under the provisions of FASB ASC 310-10, a loan is defined as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In applying the provisions of FASB ASC 310-10, the Bank considers one-to-four family residential loans and consumer installment loans to be homogeneous and therefore excluded from separate identification for evaluation of impairment. The exception to this rule is a Troubled Debt Restructured loan or “TDR”. A loan is considered a TDR when the Bank concedes to terms normally not extended to a borrower experiencing a financial hardship. With respect to the Bank’s multi-family, commercial and nonresidential loans, and the evaluation of impairment thereof, such loans are collateral dependent and, as a result, are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. At December 31, 2014, the Company had $3.4 million of impaired loans, of which $2.0 million were performing in accordance with their terms at such date.

At December 31, 2014, the Company had nonperforming loans totaling $3.2 million composed of $2.7 million in residential mortgage loans, other mortgage loans of $350,000 and commercial loans totaling $96,000. The ratio of nonperforming and impaired loans to loans receivable was 2.7% at December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014, the largest nonperforming residential real estate loan totaled $270,000. In the opinion of management, as of December 31, 2014, no significant unreserved loss is anticipated on any nonperforming loan. At December 31, 2013, the Company had nonperforming loans of $2.9 million and a ratio of

11

nonperforming and impaired loans to loans receivable of 4.4%. Of the nonperforming loans at December 31, 2013, $1.9 million were one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, nonresidential real estate loans totaled $1.0 million and commercial loans totaled $2,000. The Company has historically realized limited losses on such loans primarily because these loans are underwritten with a maximum 85% loan-to-value ratio.

Real estate acquired by the Company as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure (“REO”) is deemed REO until such time as it is sold. When REO is acquired, it is recorded at the fair value, less estimated selling expenses. Valuations are periodically performed by management, and any subsequent decline in fair value is charged to operations.

The following table sets forth information regarding our non-accrual and impaired loans and real estate acquired through foreclosure at the dates indicated. For all the dates indicated, the Company did not have any material loans which had been restructured pursuant to FASB ASC 310-40.

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, gross interest income of $125,000 and $112,000 would have been recorded on loans that were accounted for on a non-accrual basis if the loans had been current throughout the period. Interest income recognized on non-accrual loans totaled $45,000 and $18,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company recognized interest income on impaired loans for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $103,000 and $424,000, respectively.

Classification of 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” assets. 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 savings 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 “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. Assets that do not expose the savings institution to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess some weaknesses, are required to be designated “special mention” by management.

When a savings institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it is required to establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management. General allowances represent loss allowances that have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When a savings institution classifies problem assets as “loss,” it is required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of the amount of the assets so classified, or to charge-off such amount. A savings institution’s determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the FDIC, which can order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances. The Company regularly reviews the problem loans in its portfolio to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.

The following table sets forth the aggregate amount of the Company’s classified assets at the dates indicated.

Allowance for Loan Losses. In determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses at any point in time, management and the Board of Directors apply a systematic process focusing on the risk of loss in the loan portfolio. First, delinquent nonresidential, multi-family and commercial loans are evaluated individually for potential impairment in their carrying value. Second, management applies historic loss experience to the individual loan types in the portfolio. In addition to the historic loss percentage, management employs an additional risk percentage based on factors identified by management as representative of the overall risk in the economy. However, the analysis of the allowance for loan losses requires an element of judgment and is subject to the possibility that the allowance may need to be increased, with the corresponding reduction in earnings.

During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company added $333,000, $220,000 and $773,000, respectively, to the provision for loan losses. The Company’s allowance for loan losses totaled $2.8 million, $2.8 million and $3.3 million at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The provision for loan losses in the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was based on the level of nonperforming loans and charge-offs, as well as the size and risk profile of the loan portfolio and assessments of internal and external factors as prescribed by regulation. While management believes that the Company’s current allowance for loan losses is adequate, there can be no assurance that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover losses that may in fact be realized in the future or that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required. To the best of management’s knowledge, all known losses as of December 31, 2014, have been recorded.

Allocation of Allowance for Loan Losses. The following table sets forth the allocation of allowance for loan losses by loan category for the periods indicated. Management believes that the allowance can be allocated by category only on an approximate basis. The allocation of the allowance by category is not necessarily indicative of future losses and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in any category.

Investment Activities

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, consisting of cash and due from banks and interest- bearing deposits due from other financial institutions with original maturities of three months or less, totaled $10.8 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $13.4 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $2.6 million. The Company’s investment portfolio is comprised of investment securities, and state and local obligations. The carrying value of the Company’s investment securities totaled $25.9 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $27.8 million at December 31, 2013.

Liquidity levels may be increased or decreased depending upon the yields on investment alternatives and upon management’s judgment as to the attractiveness of the yields then available in relation to other opportunities and its expectation of the level of yield that will be available in the future, as well as management’s projections as to the short-term demand for funds to be used in the Company’s loan origination and other activities.

The Company also invests in mortgage-backed securities generally issued or guaranteed by the United States Government or agencies thereof or meeting investment grade credit quality standards in accordance with the Board-approved investment policy and regulatory guidance that is intended to increase earnings over lower yielding cash equivalents, reduce interest rate risk relative to longer duration whole loan alternatives, to provide liquidity to the institution primarily through monthly cash flows while limiting credit risk and meet Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) requirements by investing in specified loan pools. Investments in mortgage-backed securities are made either directly or by exchanging mortgage loans in the Company’s portfolio for such securities. These securities consist primarily of adjustable rate or shorter duration mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), and the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”). Total mortgage-backed securities, including those designated as available-for-sale, increased to $90.0 million at December 31, 2014 from $82.5 million at December 31, 2013, primarily due to investing excess cash balances, due to increased deposit balances, into amortizing securities that provide both increased current earnings and future cash flows to fund anticipated increases in future loan balances.

The Company’s holdings of private-label collateralized mortgage obligations totaled $502,000 at December 31, 2014 compared to $704,000 at December 31, 2013. All such securities were rated AAA at the time of purchase and the remaining three holdings continue to be of investment grade. These positions contain collateral that was originated during 2003 or earlier. In addition, management reviews a monthly analysis of actual and projected cash flows for these securities to determine whether or not any other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) exists. At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no OTTI was identified with respect to these securities.

The Company’s objectives in investing in mortgage-backed securities vary from time to time depending upon market interest rates, local mortgage loan demand, the Company’s level of liquidity and the need for CRA investments. Mortgage-backed securities are more liquid than whole loans, can be readily sold in response to market conditions and changes in interest rates and provide monthly principal and interest cash flows that can be used to fund loan demand or reinvested in the securities portfolio. Mortgage-backed securities purchased by the Company also have lower credit risk because principal and interest are generally either insured or guaranteed by the United States Government or agencies thereof.

Investments in state and municipal obligations are made to generate tax-exempt income, to manage interest rate risk through call protection, to diversify security types in the investment portfolio and to meet the requirements of CRA for investments in the Bank’s CRA assessment area. Credit analysis of state and

16

municipal obligations is completed in compliance with regulatory requirements to avoid reliance on ratings published by Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organizations (“NRSRO”).

The portfolio of state and municipal obligations is reviewed on a regular basis for classification and impairment in accordance with regulatory and accounting guidance. No impairment was recognized in the portfolio at December 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013 and no obligations were classified at either date.

Sources of Funds

General.The Company receives cash for the annual ESOP loan payment and dividends from the Bank for the company to fund operating expenses, tax settlement, cash dividends to shareholders and stock repurchases. Dividends from the Bank to the Company are subject to regulatory approval as discussed under “Federal Regulation – Limitations on Capital Distributions” below.

Deposits are the major source of the Bank’s funds for lending and other investment purposes. In addition to deposits, the Bank derives funds from the amortization, prepayment or sale of loans and mortgage-backed securities, the sale or maturity of investment securities, operations and, if needed, advances from the FHLB, the Federal Reserve discount window, brokered CD’s and Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service “CDARS”. Scheduled loan principal repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and loan and mortgage-backed security prepayments are influenced significantly by general interest rates and market conditions. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds from other sources or on a longer term basis for general business purposes, particularly the management of interest rate risk.

Deposits. Consumer and commercial deposits are attracted principally from within the Bank’s market area through the offering of a broad selection of deposit instruments including checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, term certificate of deposit accounts and individual retirement accounts. The Bank accepts deposits of $100,000 or more and offers negotiated interest rates on such deposits. Deposit account terms vary according to the minimum balance required, the period of time during which the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate, among other factors. The Bank regularly evaluates its internal cost of funds, surveys rates offered by competing institutions, reviews the Bank’s cash flow requirements for lending and liquidity, and executes rate changes when deemed appropriate.

Borrowings

Deposits are the primary source of funds for the Company’s lending and investment activities and for its general business purposes. The Bank may rely upon advances from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank discount window to supplement its supply of lendable funds, to meet deposit withdrawal requirements and to extend liability duration for interest rate risk management purposes. Advances from the FHLB typically are collateralized by stock in the FHLB and a portion of first mortgage loans held by the Bank. At December 31, 2014, the Company had $16.5 million in advances outstanding offset with $62,000 in deferred prepayment penalties.

The FHLB functions as a central reserve bank providing credit for member financial institutions. Members of the FHLB are required to own capital stock in the FHLB and are authorized to apply for advances on the security of such stock and certain home mortgages and other assets (principally, securities

21

that are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States) provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. Advances are made pursuant to several different programs. Each credit program has its own interest rate and range of maturities. Depending on the program, limitations on the amount of advances are based on a fixed percentage of a member institution’s net worth, the FHLB’s assessment of the institution’s creditworthiness, or the amount of collateral available to secure additional borrowings.

Other short-term borrowings consist of repurchase agreements executed with customers as part of a commercial account sweep program. A portion of the Bank’s securities portfolio is used to support this program.

Competition

The Company encounters strong competition both in attracting deposits and in originating real estate and other loans. The Bank’s most direct competition for deposits has come historically from commercial banks, other savings associations, and credit unions in its market area, and the Company expects continued strong competition from such financial institutions in the foreseeable future. The Company’s market area includes branches of several commercial banks that are substantially larger than the Company in terms of state-wide deposits. The Company competes for savings by offering depositors a high level of personal service and expertise together with a wide range of financial services.

The competition for real estate and other loans comes principally from commercial banks, mortgage banking companies, and other savings associations. This competition for loans has increased substantially in recent years as a result of the large number of institutions competing in the Company’s market area as well as the increased efforts by commercial banks to expand mortgage loan originations.

22

The Company competes for loans primarily through the interest rates and loan fees it charges and the efficiency and quality of services, particularly local decision making, it provides borrowers, real estate brokers, and builders. Factors that affect competition include general and local economic conditions, current interest rate levels and volatility of the mortgage markets.

Subsidiaries

At December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any direct unconsolidated subsidiaries.

Total Employees

The Company had 92 full-time employees and 18 part-time employees at December 31, 2014. None of these employees are represented by a collective bargaining agent, and the Company believes that it enjoys good relations with its personnel.

Regulation

The regulatory environment for both the Company and the Bank changed significantly on July 21, 2011 in accordance with provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”).  On July 21, 2011, the regulatory responsibilities of the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”), formerly the primary federal regulator of both the Company and the Bank were transferred to other regulatory agencies.  As a Savings and Loan Holding Company, the Company became subject to examination, supervision and extensive regulation by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland (the “FRB”).  With respect to the Bank, the federal examination responsibilities formerly held by the OTS were transferred to the FDIC.  In addition, federal savings and loan associations are subject to regulations and rules as promulgated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”).As part of the regulatory transition from the OTS to the FDIC, the Bank was required to transition from the OTS Thrift Financial Report to the Call Report used by the FDIC effective with the March 31, 2012 quarterly filing.

As a state-chartered, FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is subject to examination, supervision and extensive regulation by the Ohio Department of Commerce, Division of Financial Institutions (“ODFI”), and the FDIC. The Bank is a member of, and owns stock in, the FHLB of Cincinnati, which is one of the twelve regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and depositors. The FDIC and ODFI regularly examine the Bank and prepare reports of examination addressed to the Company’s Board of Directors regarding any deficiencies that they may find in the Company’s operations. The FDIC also may examine the Bank in its role as the administrator of the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”). The Bank’s relationship with its depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by both federal and state laws especially in such matters as the ownership of savings accounts and the form and content of the Bank’s mortgage documents. Any change in such regulation, whether by the FDIC, ODFI, or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on the Company, the Bank and their operations.

Federal Regulation of Savings and Loan Holding Companies

In accordance with the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, the OTS was abolished on July 21, 2011.  The supervisory responsibilities formerly assigned to the OTS with respect to the Company were transferred to the FRB.  As a unitary thrift holding company, the Company is deemed to be “non-complex” by the FRB.  As a non-complex holding company, the supervision of the Company is largely determined by the examination ratings given to the Bank by the FDIC.  As part of the regulatory transition from the OTS to the FRB, the Company transitioned from the OTS reporting formats to the FRB reporting format.

23

Federal Regulation of Savings Institutions

Business Activities. The activities of savings associations are governed by the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended (the “HOLA”) and, in certain respects, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDI Act”). These federal statutes, among other things, (1) limit the types of loans a savings association may make and (2)  restrict the aggregate amount of loans secured by nonresidential real estate property to 400% of capital. The description of statutory provisions and regulations applicable to savings associations set forth herein does not purport to be a complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effect on the Company or the Bank.

The Dodd-Frank Act created a new, independent federal agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), which was granted broad rulemaking, supervisory and enforcement powers under various federal consumer financial protection laws, fair lending laws and certain other statues.

The CFPB has examination and primary enforcement authority with respect to depository institutions with $10 billion or more in assets, their service providers and certain non-depository entities such as debt collectors and consumer reporting agencies. Although the Bank has less than $10 billion in assets, the impact of the formation of the CFPB has caused a ripple effect across all bank regulatory agencies, and placed a renewed focus on consumer protection and compliance efforts. For examples of this new authority, the CFPB has authority to prevent unfair, deceptive or abusive practices in connection with the offering of consumer financial products. The Dodd-Frank Act authorizes the CFPB to establish certain minimum standards for the origination of residential mortgages including a determination of the borrower’s ability to repay. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act allows borrowers to raise certain defenses to foreclosure if they receive any loan other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined by the CFPB. The Dodd-Frank Act permits states to adopt consumer protection laws and standards that are more stringent than those adopted at the federal level and, in certain circumstances, permits state attorneys general to enforce compliance with both the state and federal laws and regulations.

Loans to One Borrower. Under the HOLA, savings institutions are generally subject to the national bank limits on loans to one borrower. Generally, savings institutions may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of the institution’s unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if such loan is secured by readily-marketable collateral, which is defined to include certain securities and bullion, but generally does not include real estate. See “—Lending Activities—Loans to One Borrower.”

Qualified Thrift Lender Test. The HOLA requires savings associations to meet a qualified thrift lender (“QTL”) test. Under the QTL test, a savings association is required to maintain at least 65% of its “portfolio assets” (total assets less (i) specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets, (ii) intangibles, including goodwill, and (iii) the value of property used to conduct business) in certain “qualified thrift investments,” primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including certain mortgage-backed and related securities on a monthly basis in 9 out of every 12 months.

A savings association that fails the QTL test must either convert to a bank charter or operate under certain restrictions. As of December 31, 2014, the Company maintained 75.6% of its portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments and, therefore, met the QTL test.

Limitation on Capital Distributions. Regulations impose limitations upon all capital distributions by savings institutions, such as cash dividends, payments to repurchase or otherwise acquire its shares, payments to stockholders of another institution in a cash-out merger and other distributions charged against capital. A “well-capitalized” institution can, after prior notice and non-objection by the regulatory authorities, make capital distributions during a calendar year in an amount up to 100% of its net income during the calendar year, plus its retained net income for the preceding two years. As of December 31, 2014, the Bank was a “well-capitalized” institution.

24

Community Reinvestment. Under the Community Reinvestment Act (the “CRA”), as implemented by federal regulations, a savings institution has a continuing and affirmative obligation, consistent with its safe and sound operation, to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions, nor does it limit an institution’s discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the CRA. The CRA requires the FDIC, in connection with its examination of a savings institution, to assess the institution’s record of meeting the credit needs of its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of certain applications by such institution. The CRA also requires all institutions to make public disclosure of their CRA ratings. The Company received a “satisfactory” CRA rating under the current CRA regulations in its most recent performance evaluation, dated July 8, 2013.

Transactions with Related Parties. The Company’s authority to engage in transactions with related parties or “affiliates” (i.e., any company that controls or is under common control with an institution, including the Bank and any non-savings institution subsidiaries) or to make loans to certain insiders, is limited by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act (“FRA”). Section 23A limits the aggregate amount of transactions with any individual affiliate to 10% of the capital and surplus of the savings institution and also limits the aggregate amount of transactions with all affiliates to 20% of the savings institution’s capital and surplus. Certain transactions with affiliates are required to be secured by collateral in an amount and of a type described in Section 23A and the purchase of low quality assets from affiliates is generally prohibited. Section 23B provides that certain transactions with affiliates, including loans and asset purchases, must be on terms and under circumstances, including credit standards, that are substantially the same or at least as favorable to the institution as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated companies. In addition, savings institutions are prohibited from lending to any affiliate that is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and no savings institution may purchase the securities of any affiliate other than a subsidiary.

Enforcement. Under the FDI Act, the FDIC has primary enforcement responsibility over state-chartered savings institutions and has the authority to bring enforcement action against all “institution-related parties,” including stockholders, and any attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on an insured institution. Formal enforcement action may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease-and-desist order to removal of officers and/or directors of the institutions, receivership, conservatorship or the termination of deposit insurance. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and 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. Criminal penalties for most financial institution crimes include fines of up to $1 million and imprisonment for up to 30 years.

Standards for Safety and Soundness. The federal banking agencies have adopted a final regulation and Interagency Guidelines Prescribing Standards for Safety and Soundness (“Guidelines”) to implement the safety and soundness standards required under the FDI Act. The 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. The standards set forth in the Guidelines address internal controls and information systems; internal audit system; credit underwriting; loan documentation; interest rate risk exposure; asset growth; and compensation, fees and benefits. The agencies also adopted a proposed rule which proposes asset quality and earnings standards which, if adopted, would be added to the Guidelines. 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, as required by the FDI Act. The final regulations establish deadlines for the submission and review of such safety and soundness compliance plans.

Capital Requirements. Banking regulations have established minimum capital guidelines requiring savings institutions to maintain certain capital ratios: a 4.0% Tier I capital ratio (core) to both total risk-

25

weighted and average assets (leverage ratio) and an 8.0% Total Capital (risk-based) to risk-weighted assets ratio. Total Capital (risk-based) capital is defined as common stockholders’ equity (including retained earnings), certain non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries less intangibles other than certain qualifying supervisory goodwill and certain mortgage servicing rights. The regulations also require that, in meeting the core, leverage and risk-based capital ratios, institutions must deduct investments in and loans to subsidiaries engaged in activities not permissible for a national bank.

The risk-based capital guidelines for savings institutions require the maintenance of Tier 1 (core) and total capital (which is defined as core capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets of 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight assigned by the capital regulations based on the risks which are inherent in the type of asset. The components of Tier 1 (core) capital are equivalent to those discussed earlier under the 4.0% leverage ratio. The components of Tier 2 capital currently include qualifying subordinated debt and redeemable preferred stock, cumulative perpetual preferred stock, allowance for loan and lease losses, and unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities. Allowance for loan and lease losses includable in Tier 2 capital is limited to a maximum of 1.25% of total risk-weighted assets. Overall, the amount of Tier 2 capital included as part of total capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital.

In July 2013 a final rule was issued by the bank regulatory agencies that will revise the leverage and risk based capital requirements and methods for calculating risk-weighted assets in accordance with the Basel Committee. It requires a capital conservation buffer to be phased in beginning in 2016, and if not met, will restrict discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. A component of this rule includes a one-time “opt-in” or “opt-out” provision to include Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in regulatory capital. Management expects to “opt out” on the March 2015 Call Report which is consistent with current reporting.

Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action

Under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action regulations, the FDIC is required to take certain supervisory actions against undercapitalized institutions, the severity of which depends upon the institution’s degree of capitalization. Generally, a savings institution that has total risk-based capital of less than 8.0% or a Tier 1 core capital ratio that is less than 4.0% is considered to be undercapitalized. At December 31, 2014 the Bank satisfied all requirements for inclusion in the “well-capitalized” category.

Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC

The Bank is a member of the FDIC. Deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC and such insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. As insurer, the FDIC imposes deposit insurance premiums and is authorized to conduct examinations of and to require reporting by FDIC-insured institutions. It also may prohibit any FDIC-insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious risk to the FDIC. Currently, FDIC deposit insurance rates generally range from 2.5 basis points to 45 basis points, depending on the assessment risk classification assigned to the depository institution.

The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution, including the Bank, if it determines after a hearing that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed by an agreement with the FDIC. It also may suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for the permanent termination of insurance, if the institution has no tangible capital. If insurance of accounts is terminated, the accounts at the institution at the time of the termination, less subsequent withdrawals, shall continue to be insured for a period of six months to two years, as determined by the FDIC. Management is aware of no existing circumstances which would result in termination of the deposit insurance of the Bank.

26

Federal Home Loan Bank System

The Bank is a member of the FHLB System, which consists of 12 regional FHLBs. The FHLB provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. The Bank, as a member of the FHLB, is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in that FHLB in an amount at least equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of its unpaid residential mortgage loans and similar obligations at the beginning of each year, or 1/20 of its advances (borrowings) from the FHLB, whichever is greater. The Bank was in compliance with this requirement with an investment in FHLB-Cincinnati stock, at December 31, 2014, of $4.2 million. The FHLBs are required to provide funds for the resolution of insolvent thrifts and to contribute funds for affordable housing programs. These requirements could reduce the amount of dividends that the FHLBs pay to their members and could also result in the FHLBs imposing a higher rate of interest on advances to their members. FHLB dividends were 4.0% for the year ended December 31, 2014. In the event that dividends are reduced, or interest on future FHLB-Cincinnati advances is increased, the Bank’s net interest income will decline.

Ohio Regulation

As a savings and loan association organized under the laws of the State of Ohio, the Bank is subject to regulation by the ODFI. Regulation by the ODFI affects the Bank’s internal organization as well as its savings, mortgage lending, and other investment activities. Periodic examinations by the ODFI can be conducted on a joint basis with the FDIC but may also be conducted on an alternating basis. The Bank’s most recent examination during the quarter ending June 30, 2014 was conducted by the FDIC. Ohio law requires that the Bank maintain federal deposit insurance as a condition of doing business.

Under Ohio law, an Ohio association may buy any obligation representing a loan that would be a legal loan if originated by the Bank, subject to various requirements including: loans secured by liens on income-producing real estate may not exceed 20% of an association’s assets; consumer loans, commercial paper, and corporate debt securities may not exceed 20% of an association’s assets; loans for commercial, corporate, business, or agricultural purposes may not exceed 30% of an association’s assets, provided that an association’s required reserve must increase proportionately; certain other types of loans may be made for lesser percentages of the association’s assets; and, with certain limitations and exceptions, certain additional loans may be made if not in excess of 3% of the association’s total assets. In addition, no association may make real estate acquisition and development loans for primarily residential use to one borrower in excess of 2% of assets. The total investments in commercial paper or corporate debt of any issuer cannot exceed 1% of an association’s assets, with certain exceptions.

Ohio law authorizes Ohio-chartered savings associations to, among other things: (i) invest up to 15% of assets in the capital stock, obligations, and other securities of service corporations organized under the laws of Ohio, and an additional 20% of net worth may be invested in loans to majority-owned service corporations; (ii) invest up to 10% of assets in corporate equity securities, bonds, debentures, notes, or other evidence of indebtedness; (iii) exceed limits otherwise applicable to certain types of investments (other than investments in service corporations) by and between 3% and 10% of assets, depending upon the level of the institution’s permanent stock, general reserves, surplus, and undivided profits; and (iv) invest up to 15% of assets in any loans or investments not otherwise specifically authorized or prohibited, subject to authorization by the institution’s board of directors.

An Ohio association may invest in such real property or interests therein as its board of directors deems necessary or convenient for the conduct of the business of the association, but the amount so invested may not exceed the net worth of the association at the time the investment is made. Additionally, an association may invest an amount equal to 10% of its assets in any other real estate. This limitation does not apply, however, to real estate acquired by foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, or other legal proceedings in relation to loan security interests.

27

Notwithstanding the above powers authorized under Ohio law and regulation, a state-chartered savings association, such as the Bank, is subject to certain limitations on its permitted activities and investments under federal law, which may restrict the ability of an Ohio-chartered association to engage in activities and make investments otherwise authorized under Ohio law.

Ohio has adopted statutory limitations on the acquisition of control of an Ohio savings and loan association by requiring the written approval of the ODFI prior to the acquisition by any person or company, as defined under the Ohio Revised Code, of a controlling interest in an Ohio association. Control exists, for purposes of Ohio law, when any person or company, either directly, indirectly, or acting in concert with one or more other persons or companies (a) acquires 15% of any class of voting stock, irrevocable proxies, or any combination thereof, (b) directs the election of a majority of directors, (c) becomes the general partner of the savings and loan association, (d) has influence over the management and policies of the savings and loan association, (e) has the ability to direct shareholder votes, or (f) anything else deemed to be control by the ODFI. The ODFI’s written permission is required when the total amount of control held by the acquiror was less than or equal to 25% control before the acquisition and more than 25% control after the acquisition, or when the total amount of control held by the acquiror was less than 50% before the acquisition and more than 50% after the acquisition. Ohio law also prescribes other situations in which the ODFI must be notified of the acquisition even though prior approval is not required. Any person or company, which would include a director, will not be deemed to be in control by virtue of an annual solicitation of proxies voted as directed by a majority of the board of directors.

Under certain circumstances, interstate mergers and acquisitions involving associations incorporated under Ohio law are permitted by Ohio law. A savings and loan association or savings and loan holding company with its principal place of business in another state may acquire a savings and loan association or savings and loan holding company incorporated under Ohio law if the laws of such other state permit an Ohio savings and loan association or an Ohio holding company reciprocal rights. Additionally, legislation permits interstate branching by savings and loan associations incorporated under Ohio law.

Ohio law requires prior written approval of the ODFI for a merger of an Ohio association with another savings and loan association or a holding company affiliate.

Holding Company Regulation

Holding Company Acquisitions. The Company is a registered savings and loan holding company within the meaning of Section 10 of the HOLA, and is subject to FRB examination and supervision as well as certain reporting requirements. Federal law generally prohibits a savings and loan holding company, without prior FRB approval, from acquiring the ownership or control of any other savings institution or savings and loan holding company, or all, or substantially all, of the assets or more than 5% of the voting shares thereof. These provisions also prohibit, among other things, any director or officer of a savings and loan holding company, or any individual who owns or controls more than 25% of the voting shares of such holding company, from acquiring control of any savings institution not a subsidiary of such savings and loan holding company, unless the acquisition is approved by the FRB.

Holding Company Activities. The Company operates as a unitary savings and loan holding company. The activities of the Company and its non-savings institution subsidiaries are restricted to activities traditionally permitted to multiple savings and loan holding companies and to financial holding companies under provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act. Multiple savings and loan holding companies may:

· furnish or perform management services for a savings association subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company;

· hold, manage or liquidate assets owned or acquired from a savings association subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company;

28

· hold or manage properties used or occupied by a savings association subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company;

· engage in activities determined by the Federal Reserve to be closely related to banking and a proper incident thereto; and

· engage in services and activities previously determined by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board by regulation to be permissible for a multiple savings and loan holding company as of March 5, 1987.

The activities financial holding companies may engage in include:

· lending, exchanging, transferring or investing for others, or safeguarding money or securities;

· insuring, guaranteeing or indemnifying others, issuing annuities, and acting as principal, agent or broker for purposes of the foregoing;

· providing financial, investment or economic advisory services, including advising an investment company;

· issuing or selling interests in pooled assets that a bank could hold directly;

· underwriting, dealing in or making a market in securities; and

· merchant banking activities.

If the regulator determines that there is reasonable cause to believe that the continuation by a savings and loan holding company of an activity constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of its subsidiary savings institution, the regulator may impose such restrictions as deemed necessary to address such risk. These restrictions include limiting the following:

· the payment of dividends by the savings institution;

· transactions between the savings institution and its affiliates; and

· any activities of the savings institution that might create a serious risk that the liabilities of the holding company and its affiliates may be imposed on the savings institution.

Federal Securities Laws. The Company registered its common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). The Company is subject to the proxy and tender offer rules, insider trading reporting requirements and restrictions, and certain other requirements under the Exchange Act.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) implemented legislative reforms intended to address corporate and accounting fraud. In addition to the establishment of an accounting oversight board which enforces auditing, quality control and independence standards, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act restricts provision of both auditing and consulting services by accounting firms. To ensure auditor independence, any non-audit services being provided to an audit client requires pre-approval by the company’s audit committee members. In addition, the audit partners must be rotated. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires chief executive officers and chief financial officers, or their equivalent, to certify to the accuracy of periodic reports filed with the SEC, subject to civil and criminal penalties if they knowingly or willfully violate this certification requirement. In addition, under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, counsel are required to report evidence of a material violation of the securities laws or a breach of fiduciary duty by a company to its chief executive officer or its chief legal officer, and, if such officer does not appropriately

29

respond, to report such evidence to the audit committee or other similar committee of the board of directors or the board itself.

Longer prison terms now apply to corporate executives who violate federal securities laws, the period during which certain types of suits can be brought against a company or its officers has been extended, and bonuses issued to top executives prior to restatement of a company’s financial statements are now subject to disgorgement if such restatement was due to corporate misconduct. Executives are also prohibited from insider trading during retirement plan “blackout” periods, and loans to company executives are restricted. In addition, a provision directs that civil penalties levied by the SEC as a result of any judicial or administrative action under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act be deposited to a fund for the benefit of harmed investors. The Federal Accounts for Investor Restitution provision also requires the SEC to develop methods of improving collection rates. The legislation accelerates the time frame for disclosures by public companies, as they must immediately disclose any material changes in their financial condition or operations. Directors and executive officers must also provide information for most changes in ownership in a company’s securities within two business days of the change.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act also increases the oversight of, and codifies certain requirements relating to audit committees of public companies and how they interact with the company’s “registered public accounting firm.” Audit Committee members must be independent and are barred from accepting consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees from the issuer. In addition, companies must disclose whether at least one member of the committee is a “financial expert,” as such term is defined by the SEC, and if not, why not. Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, a registered public accounting firm is prohibited from performing statutorily mandated audit services for a company if such company’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer, comptroller, chief accounting officer or any person serving in equivalent positions has been employed by such firm and participated in the audit of such company during the one-year period preceding the audit initiation date. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act also prohibits any officer or director of a company or any other person acting under their direction from taking any action to fraudulently influence, coerce, manipulate or mislead any independent public or certified accountant engaged in the audit of the company’s financial statements for the purpose of rendering the financial statements materially misleading. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act also required the SEC to prescribe rules requiring inclusion of an internal control report and assessment by management in the annual report to stockholders. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires the registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report to attest to and report on management’s assessment of the company’s internal controls. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that each financial report required to be prepared in accordance with, or reconciled to, generally accepted accounting principles and filed with the SEC reflect all material correcting adjustments that are identified by a registered public accounting firm in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Federal and State Taxation

Federal Taxation. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

The Federal tax bad debt reserve method available to thrift institutions was repealed in 1996 for tax years beginning after 1995. As a result, the Company was required to change from the reserve method to the specific charge-off method to compute its bad debt deduction. The recapture amount resulting from the change in a thrift’s method of accounting for its bad debt reserves was taken into taxable income ratably (on a straight-line basis) over a six-year period.

Retained earnings as of December 31, 2014 include approximately $2.7 million for which no provision for Federal income tax has been made. This reserve (base year and supplemental) is frozen/not

30

forgiven as certain events could trigger a recapture such as stock redemption or distributions to shareholders in excess of current or accumulated earnings and profits.

The Company’s federal income tax returns through March 31, 2011 have been closed by statute or examination.

Ohio Taxation. Effective in 2014, the Corporation and the Bank began remitting the Financial Institutions Tax (“FIT”) as a replacement for the Ohio Franchise Tax, which the Bank has filed through 2013. The amount of the “FIT” is 0.8%, based on total equity capital, compared to the Franchise Tax of 1.3% of taxable net worth. The Bank is not currently under audit with respect to its Ohio franchise tax returns.

Delaware Taxation. As a Delaware holding company not earning income in Delaware, the Company is exempt from Delaware corporate income tax but is required to file an annual report with and pay an annual franchise tax to the State of Delaware. The tax is imposed as a percentage of the capital base of the Company with an annual maximum of $180,000. The Company paid Delaware franchise taxes of $34,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014.

ITEM 1A.     Risk Factors

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this Form 10-K include certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Those statements include, but may not be limited to, all statements regarding the intent, belief and expectations of the Company and its management, such as statements concerning the Company's future profitability. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, factors detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the SEC. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-K will prove to be accurate, and in light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved. The Company encounters a number of risks in the conduct of its business. A discussion of such risks follows.

The Company is subject to a number of general categories of risks that may adversely affect its financial condition or results of operations, many of which are outside of management’s direct control, though efforts are made to manage those risks while optimizing returns. Among the types of risks assumed are: (1)credit risk, which the risk of loss due to loan customers or other counterparties not being able to meet their financial obligations under agreed upon terms, (2)market risk, which is the risk of loss due to changes in the market value of assets and liabilities due to changes in market interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, and credit spreads, (3)liquidity risk, which is the risk of loss due to the possibility that funds may not be available to satisfy current or future commitments based on external macro market issues, investor and customer perception of financial strength, and events unrelated to the Company such as war, terrorism, or financial institution market specific issues, and (4)operational risk, which is the risk of loss due to human error, inadequate or failed internal systems and controls, violations of, or noncompliance with, laws, rules, regulations, prescribed practices, or ethical standards, and external influences such as market conditions, fraudulent activities, disasters, and security risks.

If one or more of the factors affecting our forward looking statements proves inaccurate, then our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by forward looking statements contained herein. Therefore, we caution you not to place undue

31

reliance on our forward looking statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, we will not update our forward looking statements to reflect actual results, performance or achievements.

In addition to the other information included or incorporated by reference into this report, readers should carefully consider that the following important factors, among others, could materially impact the Company’s business, future results of operations, and future cash flows.

The Company’s results of operations are significantly dependent on economic conditions and related uncertainties. Commercial banking is affected, directly and indirectly, by domestic and international economic and political conditions and by governmental monetary and fiscal policies. Conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment, volatile interest rates, real estate values, government monetary policy, international conflicts, the actions of terrorists and other factors beyond our control may adversely affect our results of operations. Changes in interest rates, in particular, could adversely affect our net interest income and have a number of other adverse effects on our operations, as discussed in the immediately succeeding risk factor. Adverse economic conditions also could result in an increase in loan delinquencies, foreclosures and nonperforming assets and a decrease in the value of the property or other collateral which secures our loans, all of which could adversely affect our results of operations. We are particularly sensitive to changes in economic conditions and related uncertainties in Northeast Ohio because we derive substantially all of our loans, deposits and other business from this area. Accordingly, we remain subject to the risks associated with prolonged declines in national or local economies. The current economic climate, with associated legislative, regulatory, fiscal and monetary policy initiatives, may materially adversely affect the Company’s operations. One example of this effect is the Federal Reserve’s accommodative monetary policy, that has kept interest rates low for a prolonged period of time and has potentially had other macroeconomic effects such as an increase in housing prices in excess of fundamental values (a so-called “bubble”) and a prolonged increase in stock market values.

Changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our operations.The operations of financial institutions such as the Bank are dependent to a large extent on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets such as loans and investment securities and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowings. Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect our net interest income by affecting the difference between the weighted-average yield earned on our interest-earning assets and the weighted-average rate paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, or interest rate spread, and the average life of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in interest rates also can affect our ability to originate loans; the value of our interest-earning assets; our ability to obtain and retain deposits in competition with other available investment alternatives; and the ability of our borrowers to repay adjustable or variable rate loans. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental fiscal and monetary policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions and other factors beyond our control. Although we believe that the estimated maturities of our interest-earning assets currently are well balanced in relation to the estimated maturities of our interest-bearing liabilities (which involves various estimates as to how changes in the general level of interest rates will impact these assets and liabilities), there can be no assurance that our profitability would not be adversely affected during any period of changes in interest rates. In addition, the prolonged period of low interest rates in recent years has potentially altered consumer behavior with respect to loans and deposits, increasing regulatory scrutiny of interest rate risk management processes and increasing the difficulty of modeling potential future consumer behaviors and the risk of an incorrect forecast of profitability under a variety of potential interest rate scenarios.

The strength and stability of other financial institutions may adversely affect our business.The actions and commercial soundness of other financial institutions could affect the Company’s ability to engage in routine funding transactions. Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty or other relationships. The Company has exposure to different industries and counterparties, and executes transactions with various counterparties in the financial industry, including brokers and dealers, commercial banks, mutual funds and other institutional clients. Rumors or questions

32

about one or more financial services institutions or the financial services industry in general have led to liquidity problems and could lead to losses or defaults by us or by other institutions. Many of these transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of default of its counterparty or client. In addition, our credit risk may increase when the collateral held by us cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the loan. Any such losses could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

There are increased risks involved with commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer lending activities.Our lending activities include loans secured by existing commercial real estate. Commercial real estate lending generally is considered to involve a higher degree of risk than single-family residential lending due to a variety of factors, including generally larger loan balances, the dependency on successful completion or operation of the project for repayment, the difficulties in estimating loan terms which often do not require full amortization of the loan over its term and, instead, provide for a balloon payment at stated maturity. Our lending activities also include commercial business loans to small- to medium-sized businesses, which generally are secured by various equipment, machinery and other corporate assets, and a wide variety of consumer loans, including home equity and second mortgage loans, automobile loans, deposit account secured loans and unsecured loans. Although commercial business loans and consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than mortgage loans, they generally involve more risk than mortgage loans because of the nature of, or in certain cases the absence of, the collateral which secures such loans.

New mortgage lending rules may increase the risk associated with our residential mortgage lending business.Over the course of the past several years, the CFPB has issues numerous rules regarding mortgage lending, notably a rule requiring all home mortgage lenders to determine a borrower’s ability to repay the loan. Loans with certain terms and conditions and that otherwise meet the definition of a “qualitied mortgage” may be protected from liability. While we believe that our current loan policy is consistent with the guidance, making the majority of our loans “qualified mortgages,” there is the possibility that in the event of a dispute, regulators or courts may come to a different conclusion and the Bank may be exposed to unexpected liability. Additional rules regarding disclosures and closing documents (the so-called “TILA/RESPA” rules”) take effect in 2015 and may create additional compliance and liability risks.

Our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover probable losses.We have established an allowance for loan losses which we believe is adequate to offset probable losses on our existing loans. There can be no assurance that any future declines in real estate market conditions, general economic conditions or changes in regulatory policies will not require us to increase our allowance for loan losses, which would adversely affect our results of operations and, possibly, our financial condition.

We may not be able to achieve or successfully manage continued growth.The Company has pursued and continues to pursue a strategy of organic growth. The success of the Company's growth strategy will depend largely upon its ability to manage its credit risk and control its costs while providing competitive products and services. This growth strategy may present special risks, such as the risk that the Company will not efficiently handle growth with its present operations, the risk of dilution of book value and earnings per share as a result of an acquisition, the risk that earnings will be adversely affected by the start-up costs associated with establishing new products and services, the risk that the Company will not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel needed for expanded operations, and the risk that its internal monitoring and control systems may prove inadequate.

Anti-Takeover Provisions could negatively impact the Company’s shareholders. In addition to state and federal laws and regulations governing changes in control of insured depository institutions or holding companies, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions that may delay or make more difficult an acquisition of control of the Company. Delaware law presently requires a two-thirds majority vote of the outstanding shares to approve a merger or other consolidation. Further, the

33

Company has 500,000 shares of authorized but unissued preferred stock, par value $0.10 per share, which may be issued in the future with such rights, privileges and preferences as are determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.

The Company’s common stock trading volume may not provide adequate liquidity for investors. The Company’s common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "WAYN", but trading volume has not been significant. There can be no assurance given as to the liquidity of the market for the common stock or the price at which any sales may occur, which price will depend upon, among other things, the number of holders thereof, the interest of securities dealers in maintaining a market in the common stock and other factors beyond the control of the Company.

The market price of the Company’s common stock can be volatile, which may make it more difficult to resell Company common stock at a desired time and price.The market price for the common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in quarterly and yearly operating results, general trends in the banking industry and other factors. In addition, the stock market can experience price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of affected companies. These broad fluctuations may make it more difficult for a shareholder to resell the Company common stock when a shareholder wants to and at prices a shareholder finds attractive or at all.

The loss of key personnel may adversely impact our financial stability. The Company's success depends to a great extent on its senior management. The loss of their individual services could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial stability and its operations. In addition, the Company's future performance depends on its ability to attract and retain key personnel and skilled employees, particularly at the senior management level. The Company's financial stability and its operations could be adversely affected if, for any reason, one or more key executive officers ceased to be active in the Company's management.

We may not be able to successfully compete with others for business. Banking institutions operate in a highly competitive environment. The Company competes with other commercial banks, credit unions, savings institutions, finance companies, mortgage companies, mutual funds, and other financial institutions, many of which have substantially greater financial resources than the Company. Certain of these competitors offer products and services that are not offered by the Company and certain competitors are not subject to the same extensive laws and regulations as the Company. Additionally, consolidation of the financial services industry in Ohio and in the Midwest in recent years has increased the level of competition. Recent and proposed regulatory changes may further intensify competition in the Company's market area.

Our ability to pay dividends may be limited. The Company is a savings and loan holding company, which is substantially dependent on the profitability of its subsidiary and the upstream payment of dividends from the Bank to the Company. Under state and federal banking law, the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company is subject to capital adequacy requirements. The inability of the Bank to generate profits and pay such dividends to the Company, or regulator restrictions on the payment of such dividends to the Company even if Bank profits are earned, would have an adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and the Company's ability to pay dividends to its shareholders.

Goodwill Impairment may adversely impact our results of operations.Impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets could require charges to earnings, which could result in a negative impact on our results of operations. Under current accounting standards, goodwill and certain other intangible assets with indeterminate lives are no longer amortized but, instead, are evaluated for impairment periodically or when impairment indicators are present. Evaluation of goodwill and such other intangible assets could result in circumstances where the applicable intangible asset is deemed to be impaired for accounting purposes.

34

Under such circumstances, the intangible asset’s impairment would be reflected as a charge to earnings in the period during which such impairment is identified. Management evaluated the goodwill using an analysis of required measures of value, including the current stock price as an indicator of minority interest value, change of control multiples as a measure of controlling interest value and discounted cash flow analysis as a measure of going concern value and applied a weighting based on appraisal standards to arrive at a valuation conclusion that indicated no impairment at December 31, 2014.

Material breaches in the security of bank systems may have a significant effect on the Company business.Increasing attention is being paid by the media, regulators and legislators to all matters relating to “cybersecurity,” and the incidence of “cyber attacks” is increasing in both frequency and scope against entities of all types. The Company’s subsidiary bank collects, processes and stores sensitive consumer data by utilizing computer systems and telecommunications networks operated by the Bank and third party service providers. The Bank has security, backup and recovery systems in place, as well as a business continuity plan to ensure the Bank’s systems will not be inoperable. The Company’s subsidiary bank also has security to prevent unauthorized access to the system. In addition, the Bank requires third party service providers to maintain similar controls. However, the Bank cannot be certain that these measures will be successful. A security breach in the system and loss of confidential information could result in losing customers’ confidence and thus the loss of their business as well as additional significant costs for privacy monitoring activities.

The Bank’s necessary dependence upon automated systems to record and process the Bank’s transaction volumes poses the risk that technical system flaws or employee errors, tampering or manipulation of those systems will result in losses and may be difficult to detect. The Company’s subsidiary bank may also be subject to disruptions of the operating system arising from events that are beyond the Bank’s control (for example, computer viruses or electrical or telecommunications outages). The Bank is further exposed to the risk that the third party service providers may be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations (or will be subject to the same risk of fraud or operational errors as the Bank). These disruptions may interfere with service to the Bank’s customers and result in a financial loss or liability.

As of February 11, 2015, the Company had 1,069 shareholders of record and 2,806,839 shares of common stock outstanding. The number of record shareholders does not reflect the number of brokers or persons whose stock is in nominee or “street name” accounts through brokers.

Payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock is subject to determination and declaration by the Board of Directors and depends upon a number of factors, including capital requirements, regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends, the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, tax considerations, and general economic conditions. No assurance can be given that dividends will be declared or, if declared, what the amount of dividends will be, or whether such dividends, once declared, will continue.

The Company’s primary source of funds with which to pay dividends is cash and cash equivalents held at the holding company level and dividends from the Bank. The Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company is limited by regulations, and the Bank is required to notify and receive non-objection or apply and receive approval under certain conditions from the Federal Reserve Bank of the payment of dividends to the Company.

In addition to the foregoing, earnings of the Company appropriated to bad debt reserves and deducted for federal income tax purposes are not available for payment of cash dividends or other distributions to stockholders without payment of taxes at the then-current tax rate by the Company on the amount of earnings removed from the reserves for such distributions. The Company intends to make full use of this favorable tax treatment and does not contemplate any distribution that would create federal tax liability.

ITEM 7.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

The consolidated financial statements include Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Wayne Savings Community Bank. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s net income is primarily dependent on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on its loans, mortgage-backed securities and investments, and its cost of funds consisting of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The Company’s net income also is affected by its provision for loan losses, as well as the amount of noninterest income, includingdeposit service charges and gain on the sale of loans into the secondary market, and noninterest expense, such as salaries and employee benefits, federal deposit insurance premiums, occupancy and equipment costs, and income taxes. Earnings of the Company also are affected significantly by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities as more fully described under “Risk Factors” above.

Business Strategy

The Company’s current business strategy is to operate a well-capitalized, profitable and community-oriented Bank dedicated to providing quality service and products to its customers. The Company has sought to implement this strategy in recent years by: (1) closely monitoring the needs of customers and providing personal, quality customer service; (2) continuing the origination of a wide array of loan products in the Company’s market area; (3) managing interest rate risk exposure by better matching asset and liability maturities and rates; (4) increasing fee income, including participation in the secondary mortgage market; (5) managing asset quality; (6) maintaining a strong retail deposit base; (7) maintaining capital in excess of regulatory minimum requirements; and (8) emphasizing the commercial loan program to add high quality, higher yielding and shorter duration assets to the Company’s loan portfolio.

Strategic Initiatives

The principal strategic activity for the board of directors during 2014 was the search for a new CEO that would continue to pursue the strategic plan adopted by the board in 2013. On March 17, 2014, the Company announced the planned retirement of the former CEO on December 31, 2014. A new CEO was appointed on November 3, 2014. The former position of COO was eliminated and resources reallocated to other needs in the company, including information technology, human resources, internal audit and risk management. The company continues to have as its strategic focus, based on the 2013 strategic plan that continues to be reviewed monthly by the Board of Directors, the improvement of returns to shareholders over a foreseeable time horizon through the following principal activities:

· Continued remixing of balance sheet assets to increase higher yielding, on a risk-adjusted basis, commercial and consumer loans, while maintaining a residential mortgage loan portfolio and reducing, subject to liquidity constraints, the investment securities portfolio.

· Continued transition from a transaction-oriented thrift culture to a relationship-oriented commercial bank culture through new position descriptions, activity goals, performance reviews and compensation structures consistent with regulatory guidance. In addition, turnover in the existing staff is being used as an opportunity to recruit experienced talent to further change the culture of the organization.

41

· Continued progress on technology upgrades begun in 2014 and scheduled through 2016 to facilitate more efficient customer service and operations.

· Continued focus on enterprise risk management and regulatory compliance. The focus of the ERM program is to ensure the identification, measurement and management of risks, and the pricing of risk to produce acceptable returns to shareholders. As part of ERM and coordinated with internal audit, regulatory compliance is a particular area of attention to facilitate the continued generation of returns to shareholders while avoiding the costs of remedial actions for compliance deficiencies commensurate with the risks assumed in those activities and consistent with legal requirements, regulatory requirements and general economic conditions.

Forward Looking Statements

In addition to the historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Economic circumstances, the Company’s operations, and actual results could differ significantly from those discussed in forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are discussed herein but also include changes in the economy and interest rates in the nation and the Company’s general market area. The forward-looking statements contained herein include, but are not limited to, those with respect to the following matters: (1) management’s determination of the amount and adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; (2) the effect of changes in interest rates; (3) management’s opinion as to the effects of recent accounting pronouncements on the Company’s consolidated financial statements; and (4) management’s opinion as to the Bank’s ability to maintain regulatory capital at current levels.

Critical Accounting Policies

Allowance for Loan LossesThe Company considers the allowance for loan losses and related loss provision to be a critical accounting policy. The Company has established a systematic method of periodically reviewing the credit quality of the loan portfolio in order to establish a sufficient allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s current judgments about the credit quality of individual loans and segments of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision, and considers all known internal and external factors that affect loan collectability as of the reporting date. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans on which full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, management’s knowledge of inherent risks in the portfolio that are probable and reasonably estimable and other factors that warrant recognition in providing an appropriate loan loss allowance.

GoodwillThe Company recorded all assets and liabilities acquired in prior purchase acquisitions, including goodwill and other intangibles, at fair value as required. Goodwill is subject, at a minimum, to annual tests for impairment. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, and are subject to impairment if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying amount. The initial goodwill and other intangibles recorded and subsequent impairment analysis requires management to make subjective judgments concerning estimates of how the acquired asset will perform in the future. Events and factors that may significantly affect the estimates include, among others, customer attrition, changes in revenue growth trends, specific industry conditions and changes in competition.

42

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the audit committee of the Board of Directors.

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes December 31, 2014 from December 31, 2013

At December 31, 2014, total assets increased $7.4 million, or 1.8%, to $417.7 million from the $410.3 million at December 31, 2013 mainly due to a $5.7 million increase in securities and a $4.5 million increase in net loans, partially offset by a $2.6 million decrease in cash, and a $799,000 decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank stock.During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Bank disbursed $48.7 million of loans, received payments of $37.2 million and transferred $330,000 to foreclosed assets held for sale. Although the Bank experienced increased loan balances from 2013, competition from other financial institutions for quality loan growth continues to be difficult within the Bank’s market area. The increase in both loan and security balances were funded by an $11.4 million increase in deposit balances and a $2.6 million decrease in cash balances compared to the prior year.

At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the allowance for loan losses totaled $2.8 million, or 1.03% of gross loans and $2.8 million, or 1.07%, of gross loans, respectively. In determining the amount of the loan loss allowance at any point of time, management systematically determines the risk of loss in the portfolio. First, delinquent and classified nonresidential, multi-family and commercial loans are evaluated for potential impairment in carrying value. At December 31, 2014, all delinquent and classified residential, nonresidential, multi-family and commercial loans were analyzed, with $816,000 of the reserve being allocated to these categories of loans. The largest loan in this category consisted of a commercial real estate loan amounting to $550,000 at December 31, 2014. The Company incurred net charge-offs for the year of $383,000 of which $260,000 was a single nonresidential real estate loan. The second step in determining the allowance for loan losses is to calculate a reserve based on the historical loss experience of each individual loan type in the portfolio. In addition to the historic loss percentage, management also incorporates an additional risk factor based on the perception of the overall risk in the economy. Finally, to provide additional assurance with respect to the validity of the commercial loan risk rating system, management engages a third party loan reviewer who provides an independent validation of the Bank’s loan grading process. Management recorded a $333,000 provision for losses on loans for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $113,000 from the $220,000 recorded for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, totaled $4.2 million, a decrease of $799,000 compared to $5.0 million at December 31, 2013. The decrease was due to a stock repurchase program initiated by the FHLB whereby the FHLB repurchased excess shares held by member banks.

Goodwill of $1.7 million is carried on the Company’s balance sheet as a result of the acquisition of Stebbins Bancshares in June 2004. In accordance with FASB ASC 350, this goodwill is tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Management evaluated the goodwill and arrived at the conclusion there was no impairment at December 31, 2014.

Deposits totaled $348.9 million at December 31, 2014, an increase of $11.4 million, or 3.4%, from December 31, 2013. Demand accounts increased $6.0 million, or 6.9%, and savings and money market accounts increased $8.1 million, or 6.7%, which were partially offset by a decrease in time deposit of $2.7 million, or 2.1%. The rate of change in the composition of deposits from higher cost term deposits to lower cost liquid deposits slowed during the current year as the difference between maturing and renewal rates on term deposits has narrowed and customers adjust to the extended period of low interest rates, anticipating the upward movement of rates. The Company continues to monitor deposit activity closely to respond to changes in customer preference for types of deposits. In general, management attempts to benchmark retail certificate of deposit pricing to the cost of alternate sources of funds, including FHLB advances and brokered deposits. Exceptions are made to defend customer relationships with significant value to the Bank while allowing rate sensitive certificate of deposit customers with no relationship with the Bank to move to other alternatives.

43

Advances from the FHLB decreased $5.9 million, from $22.3 million at December 31, 2013 to $16.4 million at December 31, 2014 mainly due to a decrease in fixed-rate term advances. During 2014, three fixed- rate advances matured totaling $9.0 million, partially offset by one new advance totaling $3.0 million. The Bank uses FHLB advances to extend the duration of its liabilities to manage the interest rate risk associated with the longer duration of loans as compared to securities at a lower cost than other funding alternatives, particularly retail term deposits. During December 2010, the Bank prepaid $8.5 million of existing fixed-rate and term advances to reduce the carrying cost and extend the maturity dates of those advances into 2014 and 2015 to take advantage of the low interest rate environment at that time and to extend liability duration at a cost lower than the use of retail certificates of deposit. As part of this restructuring transaction, a $526,000 prepayment penalty was paid and deferred. The remaining unamortized balance of $62,000 is reflected as a reduction in the carrying value of advances and will be amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the new advances.

At December 31, 2014, stockholders’ equity totaled $40.0 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 3.8%, compared to the balance at December 31, 2013. This increase is primarily due to net income of $2.6 million and a $155,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, partially offset by dividends declared of $971,000 and purchases of treasury stock totaling $460,000. The increase in other comprehensive income included a $725,000 increase in unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities, partially offset by a $570,000 decrease related to post-retirement benefits. The decrease in post-retirement benefits, was due to changes in the annual actuarial assumptions, and includes a $384,000 increase in the pension unrecognized net loss, and a $186,000 increase in the unrecognized net loss arising from the cost of post-retirement split dollar life insurance coverage as part of the Company’s bank-owned life insurance plan

The purchase of treasury shares during the current year period were made as part of the Company’s share repurchase program that was initially announced during 2012 whereby the Company was authorized to repurchase up to 5.0%, or 150,206 shares of its common stock outstanding. On September 30, 2013, the Company announced the adoption of a new share buy-back program authorizing the repurchase of an additional 2.5% or 72,150, shares of its common stock outstanding. As a result of these two plans, net of shares previously repurchased, the Company may repurchase up to 25,082 shares of its common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2014.

Comparison of operating results for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013

General

Net income totaled $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, and $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.The increase in net income was primarily due to increases in both net interest income and noninterest income and a decrease in noninterest expense, partially offset by increases in both the provision for loan losses and provision for federal income taxes.

Interest Income

Interest income increased $234,000, or 1.6%, to $14.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily due to a $12.7 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, partially offset by a 7 basis point (bp) decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 3.75% at December 31, 2014, from 3.82% for the year ending December 31, 2013.

Interest income on loans decreased $113,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. This decrease is primarily due to a to a 23 bp decrease in the weighted-average yield on loans to 4.36% at December 31, 2014 compared to 4.59% at December 31, 2013, partially

offset by a $10.5 million increase in the average balance of loans. The decrease in the yield was due to the continuation of the overall low market interest rate environment, while the increase in the average balance was due to the Company’s strategic initiative to increase the mix of earning assets from lower yielding securities into higher yielding loans.

Interest income on securities increased $373,000, or 14.0%, during the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. This increase is primarily due to a 29 bp increase in the weighted-average yield to 2.64% at December 31, 2014 compared to 2.35% for the year ended December 31, 2013, and a $2.0 million increase in the average balance of securities. The increase in yield was primarily due to the slowing of prepayments causing a decline in premium amortization during the current year, while the increase in the average balance was due to investing excess cash into the securities portfolio.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014, totaled $2.1 million, a decrease of $258,000, or 11.1%, compared to interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in interest expense was due to a 9 bp decrease in the weighted-average cost of funds to 0.56% for the year ended December 31, 2014, partially offset by a $12.8 million increase in the average balance of interest- bearing liabilities compared to the year ended December 31, 2013.

Interest expense on deposits totaled $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $126,000, or 7.4%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in deposit costs was due to a 6 bp decrease in the weighted-average cost of deposits to 0.46% for the year ended December 31, 2014, partially offset by a $16.2 million increase in the average balance of deposits. The decrease in the weighted-average cost of deposits was due to the continuation of the overall low market interest rate environment as well as a shift in the composition of deposits from higher cost time deposits to lower cost checking, money market and savings accounts.

Interest expense on other short-term borrowings totaled $9,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $1,000, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in interest expense was due to a $237,000 decrease in the average balance of other short-term borrowings, while the weighted-average cost of other short-term borrowings was 0.15% for both the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaled $480,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $131,000, or 21.4%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. This decrease is due to a $3.1 million decrease in the average balance, and a 24 bp decrease in the cost to 2.58% for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in the average balance was due to the scheduled maturity of fixed-rate term advances in excess of new advances, while the decrease in rate is due to the maturity of higher rate advances.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 an increase of $492,000, or 4.1%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in net interest income is due to a 2 bp increase in the interest rate spread to 3.19% at December 31, 2014 compared to 3.17% at December 31, 2013, partially offset by a $121,000 decrease in net interest-earning assets. The increase in the interest rate spread was due to a 9 bp decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities compared to a 7 bp decrease in yields earned on earning assets compared to the year ended December 31, 2013.

45

Provision for Losses on Loans

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses totaling $333,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $220,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increased provision is mainly due to an increase in general reserves required for certain loans that had previously been evaluated individually for impairment with no specific reserve required, an increase in nonperforming loans, and growth in the loan portfolio compared to December 31, 2013, partially offset by continued general improvement in economic and qualitative factors.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income, consisting primarily of earnings on bank-owned life insurance policies, gains on sale of loans, and deposit service fees increased by $261,000, or 16.4%, to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, from $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to a $146,000 increase in gain on sale of loans, and an $118,000 increase in service fees, charges and other operating income. The increase in gain on sale of loans was primarily due to more favorable pricing on current year sales and an increase in mortgage servicing rights compared to the 2013 period. The increase in service fees, charges and other operating income was primarily due to an increase in fees from annuity sales and service charges on deposit accounts.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense decreased by $139,000, or 1.3%, and totaled $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This decrease includes a $134,000 decrease in franchise taxes, a $53,000 decrease in amortization of intangible assets, and a $65,000 decrease in other noninterest expense, partially offset by a $101,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits. The decrease in franchise taxes was primarily due to the State of Ohio’s newly enacted Financial Institutions Tax during the 2014 period, which resulted in lower taxes compared to the previous Ohio corporate franchise tax that was in place during the 2013 period. The decrease in amortization of intangible assets was due to a core deposit intangible becoming amortized to zero in the current year period compared to a scheduled amortization amount in the prior year period. The decrease in other noninterest expense includes declines in stationary printing and supplies, internet banking expense, dues and subscriptions, and repairs and maintenance on real estate owned, partially offset by an increase in legal fees related to problem loans compared to the prior year. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to an increase in employee compensation expense, and the related payroll taxes and Company 401k match due to merit increases since the prior year period, partially offset by lower costs for both healthcare and post-retirement benefits.

Federal Income Taxes

Provision for Federal income taxes was $837,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, reflecting an increase of $204,000 from the year ended December 31, 2013. This increase is primarily due to a $779,000 increase in pre-tax income. The difference in the effective tax rates of 24.1% and 23.5% for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, from the 34% statutory rate was mainly due to the beneficial effects of tax-exempt income from the cash surrender value of life insurance and other tax-exempt obligations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, principal repayments and prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, and earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank manages the pricing of deposits to maintain a desired level of deposits and cost of funds. In addition, the Bank invests excess funds in federal funds and other short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. Liquid assets outstanding at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, totaled $119.8 million and $117.0 million, respectively. For additional information about cash flows from the Company’s operating, financing and investing activities, see the Statements of Cash Flows included in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

A major portion of the Bank’s liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents, which are a product of operating, investing and financing activities. The primary sources of cash are net income, principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from deposits and advances from the FHLB, and sales of residential mortgage loans and investment securities. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If the Bank requires liquidity beyond its ability to generate funds internally at a reasonable cost, borrowing agreements are in place with the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, which provide additional sources of short and long term funding. As noted above, FHLB advances are used as part of an overall liability management strategy to extend duration for interest rate risk management purposes generally at a cost lower than equivalent duration retail certificates. At December 31, 2014, the Company had $16.5 million in outstanding advances from the FHLB, offset with a prepayment penalty of $62,000 due to the restructuring of three FHLB advances as described above. At December 31, 2014, the Company had additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB totaling $90.1 million based on the Bank’s one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities, home equity lines of credit, second mortgage loans and multi-family loans. The Bank also has pledged $23.4 million to secure a line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of $23.3 million which is in place to provide a backup, short-term source of liquidity. The Bank has the ability to pledge remaining market value of investment and mortgage-backed securities of $59.7 million which would allow the Bank the ability to borrow additional longer term funds from the FHLB. The Bank had no outstanding balances with the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland at December 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto, presented elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company’s operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company’s performance than do the effect of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

ITEM 7A.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Asset and Liability Management-Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

The Bank, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the extent that interest-earning assets reprice at a different time than interest-bearing liabilities. As part of its effort to monitor and manage interest rate risk, the Bank uses the “net portfolio value” (“NPV”) methodology adopted by the regulators as part of its interest rate sensitivity regulations. The application of NPV methodology illustrates certain aspects of the Bank’s interest rate risk.

Generally, NPV is the discounted present value of the difference between incoming cash flows on interest-earning and other assets and outgoing cash flows on interest-bearing and other liabilities. The application of the methodology attempts to quantify interest rate risk as the change in the NPV, which would result from a theoretical change in market interest rates.

Presented below, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, is an analysis of the Bank’s interest rate risk as measured by changes in NPV for instantaneous and sustained 100, 200 and 300 basis point (1 basis point equals .01%) increases and a 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates.

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the NPV approach. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayment on loans and mortgage-backed securities and early withdrawal levels from time deposits would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in making the risk calculations.

As a result of the extended period of historically low interest rates discussed above, the composition of the industry’s assets and liabilities, and the Bank’s assets and liabilities, has shifted. Consumers and businesses have generally preferred long term fixed-rate loans and have either avoided long term fixed-rate certificates of deposits or selected long term fixed-rate certificates of deposits with the intention of paying a prepayment penalty should interest rates rise sufficiently. These changes in consumer behavior have increased the difficultly of making model assumptions for estimating NPV under different interest rate scenarios and have increased regulatory scrutiny of interest rate risk, including model results and management’s activities to manage interest rate risk exposures.

The Company attempts to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk generally by better matching the repricing characteristics of its interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities over a range of interest rate scenarios. Strategies include originating ARM loans and other adjustable rate or short-term loans, as well as by purchasing short-term investment and mortgage-backed securities and extending liabilities through promoting cost-effective, long-term retail time deposits or the use of long-term FHLB advances and wholesale market certificates of deposits. However, particularly in the current interest rate and credit market environment, borrowers typically prefer fixed-rate loans to ARM loans. Accordingly, ARM loan originations were very limited during the year ended December 31, 2014. Similarly, depositors currently prefer more liquid and short duration checking, money market and savings accounts to longer term time deposits. The net effect of this continuing shift in customer preference for longer duration loans and shorter duration deposits has been to expose the Company to increased interest rate risk.

The Company has an Asset-Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which is responsible for reviewing the Company’s asset-liability policies. The Committee meets and reports monthly to the Board of Directors on interest rate risks and trends, as well as liquidity and capital ratios and requirements. The Bank has operated within the framework of its prescribed NPV risk range for each of the last three years.

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

Nature of Operations

The Company’s revenues, operating income and assets are almost exclusively derived from banking. Accordingly, all of the Company’s banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. Customers are mainly located in Wayne, Holmes, Ashland, Medina and Stark Counties, and include a wide range of individuals, businesses and other organizations. The Company has historically conducted its business through its main office in Wooster, Ohio.

The Company’s primary deposit products are checking, savings, money market and term certificate accounts. Wayne Savings Community Bank’s primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Real estate loans are secured by both residential and commercial real estate. Net interest income is affected by the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest received or paid on these balances. The level of interest rates paid or received by the Company can be significantly influenced by a number of environmental factors, such as governmental monetary policy, that are outside of management’s control.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. (“Wayne” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Wayne Savings Community Bank (the “Bank”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the 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 relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, goodwill and pension and other retirement benefit plans. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Pursuant to legislation enacted in 2010, the FDIC fully insured all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts beginning December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012, at all FDIC-insured institutions. This legislation expired on December 31, 2012. Beginning January 1, 2013,

58

Table of Contents

Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013

noninterest-bearing transaction accounts were subject to the $250,000 limit on FDIC insurance per covered institution. The expiration of the FDIC insurance program of all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts did not have a material impact on the Bank.

From time to time, the Company’s interest-bearing cash accounts may exceed the FDIC’s insured limit of $250,000. Management considers the risk of loss to be very low.

Securities

Certain debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held-to-maturity” and recorded at amortized cost. Securities not classified as held-to- maturity are classified as “available-for-sale” and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

For debt securities with fair value below carrying value when the Company does not intend to sell a debt security, and it is more likely than not, the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it recognizes the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income. For held-to-maturity debt securities, the amount of an other-than-temporary impairment recorded in other comprehensive income for the noncredit portion of a previous other-than-temporary impairment is amortized prospectively over the remaining life of the security on the basis of the timing of future estimated cash flows of the security.

Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to noninterest income. Gains and losses on loan sales are recorded in noninterest income, and direct loan origination costs and fees are deferred at origination of the loan and are recognized in noninterest income upon sale of the loan. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any loans held for sale.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoffs are reported at their outstanding principal balances adjusted for unearned income, charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, any unamortized deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. For loans amortized at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, as well as premiums and discounts, are deferred and amortized as a level yield adjustment over the respective term of the loan. The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. Past due status is determined based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

59

Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual 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 for a period of six months and future payments are reasonably assured.

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 income. 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 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, 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.

The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers nonclassified loans and is based on historical charge-off experience and expected loss given default derived from the Company’s internal risk rating process. Other adjustments may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.

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 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. 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 for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for

60

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013

impairment measurements, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement due to financial difficulties of the borrower.

Premises and Equipment

Depreciable assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. An accelerated method is used for tax purposes. Leasehold improvements are also stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and are depreciated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The Company is required as a condition of membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (“FHLB”) to maintain an investment in FHLB common stock. The required investment in the common stock is based on a predetermined formula. The stock is redeemable at par and, therefore, its cost is equivalent to its redemption value. At December 31, 2014, the FHLB placed no restrictions on redemption of shares in excess of a member’s required investment in the stock.

Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs, at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net income or expense from foreclosed assets.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Bank-owned life insurance is recorded at its cash surrender value, or the amount that can be realized.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The composition of goodwill and other intangible assets, all of which is core deposit intangible, at December 31, 2014 and 2013:

	2014			2013
	(In thousands)
Goodwill	$	1,719		$	1,719
Other intangible assets – gross		974			974
Other intangible assets – amortization		(974	)		(936	)
Total	$	1,719		$	1,757

61

December 31, 2014 and 2013

The Company recorded amortization relative to intangible assets totaling $38,000 for the year ending December 31, 2014 and $91,000 for the year ending December 31, 2013. The decrease in amortization of intangible assets was due to a core deposit intangible becoming amortized to zero in the current year period compared to a scheduled amortization amount in the prior year period. Such amortization is derived using the straight line method for the core deposit asset over ten years. Pursuant to FASB ASC 350, the Company is required to annually test goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment. During fiscal 2012, the Company changed the date of its annual goodwill impairment test from March 31 to November 30. Management believes the accounting change is preferable in the circumstances because it incorporates more current market and other information to produce a goodwill impairment analysis that will provide timely and accurate information to the shareholders and other users of the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s testing of goodwill and other intangible assets in the current fiscal year indicated there was no impairment in the carrying value of these assets.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing assets are recognized separately when rights are acquired through sale of financial assets. Under the servicing assets and liabilities accounting guidance (ASC 860-50), servicing rights resulting from the sale or securitization of loans originated by the Company are initially measured at fair value at the date of transfer. The Company subsequently measures each class of servicing asset using the amortization method. Under the amortization method, servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. The amortized assets are assessed for impairment based on fair value at each reporting date.

Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. These variables change from quarter to quarter as market conditions and projected interest rates change, and may have an adverse impact on the value of the mortgage servicing rights and may result in a reduction to noninterest income.

Each class of separately recognized servicing assets subsequently measured using the amortization method are evaluated and measured for impairment. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into tranches based on predominant characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type. Impairment, if necessary, is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual tranche, to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount of the servicing assets for that tranche. The valuation allowance is adjusted to reflect changes in the measurement of impairment after the initial

62

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013

measurement of impairment. Changes in valuation allowances are reported in the income statement. Fair value in excess of the carrying amount of servicing assets for that stratum is not recognized.

Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal or a fixed amount per loan and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income.

Treasury Stock

Common stock shares repurchased are recorded at cost. Cost of shares retired or reissued is determined using the first-in, first-out method.

Stock Options

The Company previously had a stock-based employee compensation plan that fully expired during the year ended December 31, 2013, which is described more fully in Note 15.

The Company had accounted for the plan in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC 718-10, “Stock Compensation.”

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (ASC 740, Income Taxes). The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.

Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Uncertain tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense. The Company files consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiary. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to tax authorities for years before 2011.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional potential common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options, if any, and are determined using the treasury stock method.

Treasury stock shares and unearned ESOP shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities, changes in the funded status of the defined benefit pension plan and the split-dollar life insurance plan.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company’s advertising expense totaled $189,000 for the year period ended December 31, 2014 and $205,000 for year ended December 31, 2013.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the 2014 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income.

Fiscal Year Change

In April 2011, the Company decided to change its fiscal year end to December 31 to facilitate consistency with regulatory reporting requirements. Regulatory reporting under OTS Thrift Financial Reporting requirements was reported on a quarter-to-date basis through December 31, 2011. Beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 the Company began reporting to the FDIC using the Call Report on a calendar year-to-date period. The result of the fiscal year end change was a nine month period ended December 31, 2011.

Note 2: Restriction on Cash and Due From Banks

The Company is required to maintain reserve funds in cash, and or, on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The reserve required at December 31, 2014, was $2.2 million.

The carrying value of securities pledged as collateral, to secure public deposits, customer repurchase agreements and for other purposes, was $57.5 million and $62.0 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. The total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $42.9 million and $51.5 million, which represented approximately 38% and 47%, respectively, of the Company’s aggregate amortized cost of the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment portfolios. These declines resulted primarily from changes in market interest rates.

Based on evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory filings, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary at December 31, 2014.

Should the impairment of any of these securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

The following table shows the Company’s investments’ gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at December 31, 2014 and 2013:

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in mortgage-backed securities of government-sponsored entities and municipal securities were caused by changes in interest rates. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014.

The risk characteristics of each portfolio segment are as follows:

Residential Real Estate Loans

For residential mortgage loans that are secured by one-to-four family residences and are generally owner occupied, the Company generally establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded. Home equity loans are typically secured by a subordinate interest in one-to-four family residences. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in property values on residential properties. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

All Other Mortgage Loans

All other mortgage loans consist of residential construction loans, nonresidential real estate loans, land loans and multi-family real estate loans.

Residential construction loan proceeds are disbursed in increments as construction progresses and as inspections warrant. Construction loans are typically structured as permanent one-to-four family loans originated by the Company with a 12-month construction phase. Accordingly, upon completion of the construction phase, there is no change in interest rate or term to maturity of the original construction loan, nor is a new permanent loan originated. These loans are generally owner occupied and the Company generally establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded.

Nonresidential real estate loans are negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Loans secured by nonresidential real estate generally involve a greater degree of risk than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans and carry larger loan balances. This increased credit risk is a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income-producing properties, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by nonresidential real estate is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate project. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired.

The Company also originates a limited number of land loans secured by individual improved and unimproved lots for future residential construction. In addition, the Company originated loans to commercial customers with land held as the collateral.

Multi-family real estate loans generally involve a greater degree of credit risk than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans and carry larger loan balances. This increased credit risk is a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income-producing properties, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by multi-family real estate is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate property. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired.

Commercial Business Loans

Commercial business loans carry a higher degree of risk than one-to-four family residential loans. Such lending typically involves large loan balances concentrated in a single borrower or groups of related borrowers for rental or business properties. In addition, the payment experience on loans secured by income-producing properties is typically dependent on the success of the operation of the related project and thus is typically affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the economy. The Company originates commercial loans generally in the $50,000 to $1,000,000 range with the majority of these loans being under $500,000. Commercial loans are generally underwritten based on the borrower’s ability to pay and assets such as buildings, land and equipment are taken as additional loan collateral. Each loan is evaluated for a level of risk and assigned a rating from “1” (the highest quality rating) to “7” (the lowest quality rating).

Consumer Loans

Consumer loans entail greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or secured by assets that depreciate rapidly, such as automobiles, mobile homes, boats, and recreational vehicles. In such cases, repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment for the outstanding loan and the remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In particular, amounts realizable on the sale of repossessed automobiles may be significantly reduced based upon the condition of the automobiles and the lack of demand for used automobiles.

* Ratings are generally assigned to consumer and residential mortgage loans on a “pass” or “fail” basis, where “fail” results in a substandard classification. Commercial loans, both secured by real estate or other assets or unsecured, are analyzed in accordance with an analytical matrix codified in the Bank’s loan policy that produces a risk rating as described below.

Risk 1 is unquestioned credit quality for any credit product. Loans are secured by cash and near cash collateral with immediate access to proceeds.

Risk 2 is very low risk with strong credit and repayment sources. Borrower is well capitalized in a stable industry, financial ratios exceed peers and financial trends are positive.

Risk 3 is very favorable risk with highly adequate credit strength and repayment sources. Borrower has good overall financial condition and adequate capitalization.

Risk 4 is acceptable, average risk with adequate credit strength and repayment sources. Collateral positions must be within Bank policies.

Risk 5 or “Special Mention,” also known as “watch,” has potential weakness that deserves Management’s close attention. This risk includes loans where the borrower has developed financial uncertainties or is resolving them. Bank credits have been secured or negotiations will be ongoing to secure further collateral. In accordance with regulatory guidance, this category is generally regarded as temporary, as successful remedial actions will either successfully move the credit back up to Risk 4 or unsuccessful remedial actions will result in the credit being downgraded to Risk 6.

Risk 6 or “Substandard” loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged. This risk category contains loans that exhibit a weakening of the borrower’s credit strength with limited credit access and all nonperforming loans.

Risk 7 or “Doubtful” loans are significantly under protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged. This risk category contains loans that are likely to experience a loss of some magnitude, but where the amount of the expected loss is not known with enough certainty to allow for an accurate calculation of a loss amount for charge-off. This category is considered to be temporary until a charge-off amount can be reasonably determined.

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.

Included in certain loan categories in the impaired loans are troubled debt restructurings that were classified as impaired. At December 31, 2014, the Company had $3.7 million of residential mortgages, $123,000 of nonresidential mortgages and land loans and $270,000 of commercial loans that were modified in troubled debt restructurings. Included in these amounts, the Company had troubled debt restructurings that were performing in accordance with their modified terms of $3.5 million in residential mortgage loans, nonresidential real estate and land loans of $123,000 and commercial loans of $270,000 at December 31, 2014.

All the above TDR classifications occurred as concessions were granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions may include a reduction in the stated rate, an interest rate that is below market interest rates for similar debt, an extension of the maturity date or delaying principal payments through interest only payments. Each TDR has been individually evaluated for impairment with the appropriate specific valuation allowance included in the allowance for loan losses calculation. There were no TDR classifications which defaulted during the year ended December 31, 2014 or the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company considers TDRs that become 90 days or more past due under modified terms as subsequently defaulted.

As a result of adopting the amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02 (the ASU), the Company reassessed all restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of its current fiscal year (April 1, 2011) for identification of TDRs. The Company identified no additional TDRs for which an allowance for credit losses had previously been measured under a general allowance for credit losses methodology.

Note 6: Loan Servicing

The Company has recognized servicing rights for residential mortgage loans sold with servicing retained. Residential mortgage loans serviced for others are subject to credit, prepayment and interest rate risks.

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced for others was $33.4 million and $29.9 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Contractually specified servicing fees, late fees and ancillary fees of approximately $40,000 and $27,000 are included in loan servicing fees in the income statement at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Custodial escrow balances maintained in connection with the foregoing loan servicing, and included in demand deposits, were approximately $391,000 and $307,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Comparable market values and a valuation model that calculates the present value of future cash flows were used to estimate fair value.

Activity in the balance of servicing assets was as follows at December 31, 2014 and 2013:

	$	16,438

Each advance is payable at its maturity date and has a prepayment penalty if repaid prior to maturity. During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Company prepaid $8.5 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances which resulted in a prepayment penalty of $526,000. The Company replaced these advances with lower rate advances of $8.5 million whose present value, based on a discount rate equal to the cost of funds rate of the original advances, was not substantially different than the value of the original advances immediately prior to prepayment. As such, the Company was required to defer the $526,000 penalty over the life of the new advances. As of December 31, 2014, the Bank had $62,000 in unamortized prepayment penalties.

Additionally, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system at December 31, 2014, the Bank had the ability to obtain up to $90.1 million in additional borrowings. Borrowings from the FHLB are secured by a blanket pledge of the one-to-four family residential real estate loan portfolio. The Bank’s borrowing capacity can be further increased by the pledge of additional collateral, including additional types of loans from the Bank’s loan portfolio and unpledged investment securities.

At December 31, 2014, the Bank had a cash management line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank in the amount of $23.3 million, none of which was drawn. The Bank had approximately $23.4 million of state and political subdivision bonds pledged as collateral for this line of credit.

Prior to fiscal 1997, the Company was allowed a special bad debt deduction based on a percentage of earnings, generally limited to 8% of otherwise taxable income and subject to certain limitations based on aggregate loans and deposit account balances at the end of the year. This cumulative percentage of earnings bad debt deduction totaled approximately $2.7 million as of December 31, 2014. If the amounts that qualified as deductions for federal income taxes are later used for purposes other than bad debt losses, including distributions in liquidation, such distributions will be subject to federal income taxes at the then current corporate income tax rate. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability relating to the cumulative bad debt deduction was approximately $918,000 at December 31, 2014.

Note 12: Regulatory Matters

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory–and possibly additional discretionary–actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Furthermore the Bank’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in these financial statements.

The Bank must give notice to the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland prior to declaring a dividend to the Company and is subject to existing regulatory guidance where, in general, a dividend is permissible without regulatory approval if the institution is considered to be “well capitalized” and the dividend does not exceed current year-to-date net income plus the change in retained earnings for the previous two calendar years. For dividends in excess of the above criteria, the Bank must make application to the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and receive approval before declaring a dividend to the Company.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2014, that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2014, based on the computations for the call report the Bank is classified as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain capital ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2014 that management believes have changed the Bank’s capital classification.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 are presented in the following table.

	Actual				For Capital Adequacy Purposes				To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions
	Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio

Note 13: Related Party Transactions

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Bank had loans outstanding to executive officers, directors, and their affiliates (related parties). In management’s opinion, such loans and other extensions of credit and deposits were made in the ordinary course of business and were made on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. Further, in management’s opinion, these loans did not involve more than normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. Such loans are summarized below.

The Bank leases an in-store retail branch from a corporation in which a director of the Company holds an interest. The current five year lease provides for renewal options through fiscal 2020 and payments totaling approximately $10,000 for fiscal 2015. Rental expense for this lease was $28,000 for both years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Plan assets are held by a bank-administered trust fund, which invests the plan assets in accordance with the provisions of the plan agreement. The plan agreement permits investment in mutual funds that may invest in common stocks, corporate bonds and debentures, U.S. Government securities, certain insurance contracts, real estate and other specified investments, based on certain target allocation percentages.

Asset allocation is primarily based on a strategy to provide stable earnings while still permitting the plan to recognize potentially higher returns through an investment in equity securities. The target asset allocation percentages for 2014 are as follows:

SMID-Cap stocks	30-70%
Fixed income investments	30-70%
Cash	0-15%

The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) covering substantially all employees of the Company. The ESOP acquired 163,265 shares of Company common stock at $10.00 per share in 2003 with funds provided by a loan from the Company. Accordingly, $1.6 million of common stock acquired by the ESOP was shown as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. Shares are released to participants proportionately as the loan is repaid. Dividends on allocated shares are recorded as dividends and charged to retained earnings. Dividends on unallocated shares, which will be distributed to participants, are treated as compensation expense. Compensation expense is recorded equal to the average fair market value of the stock during the year when contributions, which are determined annually by the Board of Directors of the Company, are made to the ESOP.

ESOP expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, was $112,000 and $99,000, respectively.

Share information for the ESOP is as follows at December 31, 2014 and 2013:

	2014		2013
Allocated shares		121,675		114,040
Unearned shares		41,590		49,225
Total ESOP shares		163,265		163,265
Fair value of unearned shares at end of period	$	557,306	$	536,060

At December 31, 2014, the fair value of the 121,675 allocated shares held by the ESOP was approximately $1.6 million.

In addition to the defined benefit plan and ESOP, the Company has a 401(k) plan covering substantially all employees. The Company’s 401(k) matching percentage was 100% of the first 4% contributed by the employee and 50% of the employees’ next 2% of contributions. Expense related to the 401(k) plan totaled $161,000 and $149,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Note 15: Stock Option Plan

During fiscal year 2004, the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan that provided for the issuance of 142,857 incentive options and 61,224 non-incentive options with respect to authorized common stock. At December 31, 2013, all options under the 2004 Plan were expired. The Company recognized compensation expense related to stock option awards based on the fair value of the option award at the grant date. Compensation cost was recognized over the vesting period. There were no options granted during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. There was no compensation expense recognized for the stock option plan during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, as all options were fully vested prior to these periods. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. The cost was recognized in fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 when the Company accelerated full vesting of all the stock options at that time.

Note 17: Disclosures about Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 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 for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Recurring Measurements

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Available-for-sale Securities

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or independent asset pricing services and pricing models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections and cash flows. Such securities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Nonrecurring Measurements

Certain assets may be required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial recognition. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis; however, they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment.

Collateral-dependent Impaired Loans, Net of ALLL

The estimated fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans is based on the appraised fair value of the collateral, less estimated cost to sell. Collateral-dependent impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company considers the appraisal or evaluation as the starting point for determining fair value and then considers other factors and events in the environment that may affect the fair value. Appraisals of the

collateral underlying collateral-dependent loans are obtained when the loan is determined to be collateral-dependent and subsequently as deemed necessary by the office of the Chief Financial Officer. Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by the office of the Chief Financial Officer. Appraisers are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by management. The appraised values are reduced by discounts to consider lack of marketability and estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of the loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral. These discounts and estimates are developed by the office of the Chief Financial Officer by comparison to historical results.

Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale

Foreclosed assets held for sale are carried at the lower of fair value at acquisition date or current estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell when the real estate is acquired. Estimated fair value of real estate is based on appraisals or evaluations. Foreclosed assets held for sale are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Appraisals of real estate are obtained when the real estate is acquired and subsequently as deemed necessary by the office of the Chief Financial Officer. Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by the Bank. Appraisers are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by management.

The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments. The fair values of certain of these instruments were calculated by discounting expected cash flows, which involves significant judgments by management and uncertainties. Fair value is the estimated amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Because no market exists for certain of these financial instruments and because management does not intend to sell these financial instruments, the Company does not know whether the fair values shown below represent values at which the respective financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Interest Receivable and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Held-to-Maturity Securities

The fair value of held-to-maturity securities was estimated by using pricing models that contain market pricing and information, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows that use credit-adjusted discount rates.

99

Table of Contents

Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations.

Deposits

Deposits include savings accounts, checking accounts and certain money market deposits. The carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Interest Payable, Other Short-Term Borrowings and Advances From Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance

The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt.

Commitments to Originate Loans, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit

The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. Fair values of commitments were not material at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Note 18: Commitments and Credit Risk

Total commercial and commercial real estate loans made up 36% of the loan portfolio for both years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, with most of these loans secured by commercial real estate and business assets mainly located in Ohio. Installment loans account for approximately 1% of the loan portfolio for both years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. These loans are secured by consumer assets including automobiles, which account for 30% and 31%, respectively, of the installment loan portfolio. Real estate loans comprise 63% and 64% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and primarily include first mortgage loans on residential properties and home equity lines of credit. Included in cash and due from banks as of both years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, is $2.9 million of uninsured deposits in the form of branch cash on hand.

Commitments to Originate Loans

Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend 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. Since a portion of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate.

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate fixed-rate loans aggregating approximately $734,000 and $458,000, respectively. The commitments extended over varying periods of time with the majority being disbursed within a one-year period.

Mortgage loans in the process of origination represent amounts that the Company plans to fund within a normal period of one year. Total mortgage loans in the process of origination amounted to approximately $1.1 million and $1.5 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company had undisbursed amounts of nonresidential real estate and land of $4.1 million at December 31, 2014. The Company had undisbursed amounts of nonresidential real estate and land of $1.1 million and commercial loans of $15,000 at December 31, 2013.

At December 31, 2014, the Company had $8.0 million of unused extensions of credit related to the Bank’s overdraft program, compared to $320,000 at December 31, 2013.

Standby Letters of Credit

Standby letters of credit are irrevocable conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Financial standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. Performance standby letters of credit are issued to guarantee performance of certain customers under non-financial contractual obligations. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Fees for letters of credit are initially recorded by the Company as deferred revenue and are included in earnings at the termination of the respective agreements.

Should the Company be obligated to perform under the standby letters of credit, the Company may seek recourse from the customer for reimbursement of amounts paid.

The Company had outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $157,000 at December 31, 2014, and $207,000 at December 31, 2013, with terms not exceeding eleven months. At both December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no deferred revenue under standby letter of credit agreements.

Lines of Credit

Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates. Since a portion of the line may expire without being drawn upon, the total unused lines do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate. Management uses the same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

At December 31, 2014, the Company had granted unused lines of credit to borrowers aggregating approximately $16.6 million and $18.6 million for commercial lines and open-end consumer lines, respectively. At December 31, 2013, unused lines of credit to borrowers aggregated approximately $13.2 million for commercial lines and $17.9 million for open-end consumer lines, respectively.

Leases

The Company currently leases two branch banking facilities under an operating lease. The first lease originated in fiscal 2000 for a ten year term and 3 five year renewal options of which the Company committed to another five year renewal ending in October 2018. The Company’s second operating lease commenced in fiscal 2001 for an original five year term with 3 five year renewal options and has currently renewed the third option to expire in April 2016. The minimum annual lease payments over the current lease term are as follows:

Fiscal year ended	(In thousands)
2015	$	60

The Company incurred rental expense under operating leases totaling approximately $60,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

There were no other material commitments or contingencies at December 31, 2014.

Note 19: Recent Accounting Developments

FASB ASU 2014-01, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects in Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-01, issued in January 2014 permits the Company to make an accounting policy election to account for its investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for public business entities for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2014-04, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40), Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, in Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-04, issued in January 2014. The amendments in this update provides clarification on when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, including when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of the residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, when to derecognize the loan and recognize the foreclosed property. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments in this update using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, in Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, was issued in April 2014. The amendments in this update change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Subtopic 205-20. A discontinued operation may include a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity, or a business or nonprofit activity. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The amendments in this update are effective for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. All businesses or nonprofit activities that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported infinancial statements previously issued or available for issuance. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860), Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures, was issued in June 2014. The amendments in this update require disclosures for certain transactions comprising a transfer of a financial asset accounted for as a sale and an agreement with the same transferee entered into in contemplation of the initial transfer that results in the transferor retaining substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial asset throughout the term of the transaction. This update also requires certain disclosures for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions that are accounted for as secured borrowings. The accounting changes in this update are effective for public business entities for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. For public business entities, the disclosure for certain transactions accounted for as a sale is required to be presented for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for disclosure for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. The disclosures are not required to be presented for comparative periods before the effective date. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2014-14, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40), Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, was issued in August 2014. The amendments in this update require that a mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if: the loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure, at the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor and make a claim on the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under that claim, and at the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim that is determined on the fair basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed. Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. An entity should adopt the amendments in this update using either a prospective transition method or a modified retrospective transition method. For

prospective transition, an entity should apply the amendments in this update to foreclosures that occur after the date of adoption. For modified retrospective transition, an entity should apply the amendments in this this update by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment (through a reclassification to a separate other receivable) as of the beginning of the annual period for adoption. Prior periods should not be adjusted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, was issued in August 2014. The amendments in this update provide guidance in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2015-01, Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20), Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items, was issued in January, 2015. This update eliminates from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles the concept of extraordinary items, which required that an entity separately classify, present and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. Eliminating the concept of extraordinary items will save time and reduce costs for preparers because they will not have to assess whether a particular event or transaction is extraordinary. It will also alleviate uncertainty for preparers, auditors, and regulators because auditors and regulators will no longer need to evaluate whether the preparer treated an unusual item appropriately. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The effective date is the same for both public business entities and all other entities. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9.       Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Not Applicable

ITEM 9A.     Controls and Procedures

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and are operating in an effective manner.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management of the Company has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(f), as of December 31, 2014.

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting can also be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. These inherent limitations, however, are known features of the financial reporting process. It is possible, therefore, to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

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 to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
