PART I
In the Annual Report on Form 10-K, the terms “we”, “our” and “us” refer to Fairmount Bancorp, Inc., unless the context indicates another meaning.
Fairmount Bancorp, Inc.
Fairmount Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated on November 30, 2009, to serve as the holding company for Fairmount Bank (the “Bank”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On June 2, 2010, in accordance with a Plan of Conversion adopted by its Board of Directors and approved by its members, the Bank converted from a federal mutual savings bank to a federal stock savings bank and became the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The conversion was accomplished through the sale and issuance of 444,038 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, through which the Company received proceeds of approximately $3,742,000, net of offering expenses of approximately $699,000. In connection with the conversion, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted an employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”) which subscribed for 8% of the sum of the number of shares, or 35,523 shares of common stock sold in the offering. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
On October 12, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Fullerton Federal Savings Association, or Fullerton, in a conversion merger transaction. In connection with the acquisition and pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Conversion Merger and the related Plan of Conversion Merger, the Company issued and sold approximately $793,500 of its common stock, or 56,276 shares at a purchase price of $14.10 per share. The shares were sold in a subscription offering to depositors of Fullerton and to our Employee Stock Ownership Plan and in a community offering to our Recognition and Retention Plan and to the general public. The amount of common stock offered for sale was based on an independent valuation of Fullerton. As a result of the conversion merger, Fullerton merged with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving institution. See “Fullerton Federal Savings Association” below and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company’s principal business activity is the ownership of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Bank. The Company does not own or lease any property but instead uses the premises, equipment and other property of the Bank, with the payment of appropriate rental fees, as required by applicable laws and regulations, under the terms of an expense allocation agreement.
Fairmount Bank
Fairmount Bank is a federally chartered savings bank located in Baltimore County, Maryland, originally founded in 1879. The Bank has operated as a community-oriented institution by offering a variety of loan and deposit products and serving other financial needs of its local community. The Bank takes its corporate citizenship seriously and is committed to meeting the credit needs of the community, consistent with safe and sound operations.
The Bank has two offices. The Bank is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or the OCC, and its deposits are insured up to applicable legal limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, under the Deposit Insurance Fund. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System.
The Bank has been, and continues to be, a community-oriented savings institution offering a variety of financial products and services to meet the needs of the communities it serves. The Bank delivers personalized service and responds promptly to customer needs and inquiries. The Bank believes that its community orientation is attractive to its customers and distinguishes it from larger banks that operate in its market area.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, eliminated the Office of Thrift Supervision, or the OTS, as the primary federal regulatory of Fairmount Bancorp and Fairmount Bank. The legislation required Fairmount Bank to be regulated by the OCC, the primary regulatory for national banks, and authorized the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or Federal Reserve Board, to regulate all savings and loan holding companies, including Fairmount Bancorp. The transfer of regulatory authority to the OCC and Federal Reserve Board was effective on July 21, 2011.
Fullerton Federal Savings Association
On October 12, 2011, we acquired Fullerton Federal Savings Association, a federally chartered savings association with one office located at 7527 Belair Road, Baltimore, Maryland 21236. Fullerton was founded in 1888 and provided financing primarily for home ownership and traditional savings opportunities for customers in the local community. Fullerton converted from the mutual to stock form of ownership and simultaneously merged with and into the Bank, which was the resulting institution. Upon completion of the conversion merger, Fullerton ceased to exist, and Fairmount Bank became the holding company for Fullerton’s wholly owned subsidiary, Real Estate Holding Business Inc. (a Maryland corporation).
Like Fairmount Bank, Fullerton was regulated by the OCC, and its deposits were insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC.
At September 30, 2011, Fullerton had total assets of $8,525,000, total equity of $1,029,000, total net loans of $2,507,000 and total deposits of $7,474,000.
For additional information, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

General
The Bank’s principal business consists primarily of attracting and accepting retail deposits from the general public in the areas surrounding its main office and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations, in

Table of Contents
primarily one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. We also invest in various investment securities. Our profitability depends primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between the income the we receive on our loans and other assets and our cost of funds, which consists of the interest we pay on deposits and borrowings.
Our executive offices are located at 8216 Philadelphia Road, Baltimore, Maryland 21237. Our telephone number is (410) 866-4500.
Market Area
We primarily serve communities located in Baltimore City and in Baltimore and Harford counties in Maryland from our offices in Baltimore County, which is contiguous to Baltimore City, the largest city in Maryland, and located near the District of Columbia. The economy of the greater Baltimore metropolitan area constitutes a diverse cross section of employment sectors, with a mix of services, manufacturing, wholesale/retail trade, federal and local government, health care facilities and finance related employment. The largest employers in the Baltimore metropolitan area include the University System of Maryland, Johns Hopkins University, Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System, U.S. Social Security Administration, Fort Meade, and Aberdeen Proving Ground.
Competition
We face significant competition in both originating loans and attracting deposits. Our market area has a large number of financial institutions, most of which are significantly larger institutions with greater financial resources than us, and all of which are competitors to varying degrees. Competition for loans comes principally from commercial banks, savings banks, mortgage banking companies, credit unions, insurance companies and other financial service companies. Our most direct competition for deposits has historically come from commercial banks, savings banks and credit unions. We face additional competition for deposits from non-depository competitors such as mutual funds, securities and brokerage firms and insurance companies.
Lending Activities
General. Our principal lending activity is the origination of fixed-rate, one- to four-family owner occupied residential mortgage loans with terms of up to 30 years and one-to four-family non-owner occupied investor mortgage loans with terms of up to 25 years, subject to a balloon payment at 7 or 10 years. At September 30, 2011, one-to four-family owner occupied loans totaled $24,910,000, or 45.74%, of our total loan portfolio. At September 30, 2011 one-to four-family non-owner occupied loans totaled $17,516,000, or 32.16%, of our total loan portfolio.
To a lesser extent, we also originate home equity and second mortgage loans, loans secured by other properties, construction and land development loans, secured commercial loans and savings loans. At September 30, 2011, home equity loans secured by second mortgages and home equity lines of credit secured by second mortgages totaled $1,821,000, or 3.35%, of our total loan portfolio. At September 30, 2011, loans secured by other properties totaled $1,783,000, or 3.27%, of our total loan portfolio. At September 30, 2011, construction and land development loans totaled $4,496,000, or 8.25%, of our total loan portfolio. At September 30, 2011, commercial and consumer loans totaled $1,508,000, or 2.77%, of our total loan portfolio. We no longer originate loans secured by mobile homes. The remaining balance on our mobile home loan portfolio totaled $2,430,000, or 4.46%, of our total loan portfolio.
We do not offer “interest only” loans, where the borrower pays interest for an initial period after which the loan converts to a fully amortizing loan, nor do we offer “Option ARM” or negative amortization loans, where the borrower can pay less than the interest owed on the loan, resulting in an increased principal balance during the life of the loan. We do not make loans that are known as “sub-prime” or “Alt-A” loans.

One- to Four-Family Owner Occupied Loans. A significant portion of our primary lending activity consists of the origination of first mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family owner occupied residential properties located in our market area. Loans are generated through our existing customers and referrals, real estate brokers and other marketing efforts. We generally limit our real estate loan originations to the financing of properties located within our market area and have not made out-of-state loans. At September 30, 2011, $24,910,000, or 45.74%, of the loan portfolio, consisted of one- to four-family owner occupied residential mortgage loans.
Our residential mortgage loans generally have terms of 15, 20 or 30 years. Currently, we offer only fixed-rate residential loans however, may consider implementing a program to originate adjustable-rate mortgages. All of the owner occupied loans we originate are retained in our portfolio for long-term investment. Generally, we have not sold these loans in the secondary mortgage market. However, our loans are underwritten to secondary mortgage market standards. Fixed-rate mortgage loans amortize monthly with principal and interest due each month. 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.
Under our real estate lending policy, a title insurance policy must be obtained for each real estate loan. We also require fire and extended coverage casualty insurance, in order to protect the properties securing our real estate loans. Borrowers must also obtain flood insurance policies when the property is in a flood hazard area. We require borrowers either to advance funds to an escrow account for the payment of real estate taxes and hazard insurance premiums or alternatively to provide it with other proof of the payment of taxes and an effective hazard insurance policy. We do not conduct environmental testing on residential mortgage loans unless specific concerns for hazards are identified by the appraiser used in connection with the origination of the loan.
Our residential mortgage loans customarily include due-on-sale clauses, which are provisions giving it 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.
We generally limit the maximum loan to value ratio to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or the purchase price of the property securing the loan, although we will occasionally originate loans with a loan to value ratio up to 90% of the appraised value or purchase price of the property. Any loan in excess of an 80% loan-to-value requires adequate private mortgage insurance.
When underwriting residential real estate loans, we review and verify each loan applicant’s employment, income and credit history and, if applicable, our experience with the borrower. Our policy is to obtain credit reports and financial statements on all borrowers and guarantors, and to verify references. Properties securing real estate loans are appraised by board-approved independent appraisers, although we may rely on county tax records on smaller loans. Appraisals are subsequently reviewed by the loan underwriting committee.

In the recent economic climate, many areas of the United States have experienced an increase in foreclosures. Management believes that foreclosures in our market area have also increased, but not to the same extent as in more severely impacted areas of the United States. We have experienced no foreclosures on our owner occupied loan portfolio during recent periods. Management believes this is due mainly to our conservative lending strategies, including its non-participation in “interest only,” “Option ARM,” “sub-prime” or “Alt-A” loans.
One-to Four-Family Non-Owner Occupied Loans. A portion of our lending activity consists of the origination of first mortgage loans secured by one-to four-family non-owner occupied residential properties in our market area. These loans are generated through our existing customer base and referrals, real estate brokers, real estate investors and other marketing efforts. At September 30, 2011, $17,516,000, or 32.16%, of the total loan portfolio, consisted of this type of mortgage loan.
Most loans originated in this program have payment periods of 25 years, subject to a balloon payment at 7 or 10 years. We require that the properties be occupied at the time the loan is made and require a minimum debt coverage ratio of 1.25 times. The maximum loan-to-value generally is 75%, and a majority of current loan originations are sold on a participation basis to other community banks. A majority of the properties are occupied by tenants receiving government vouchers that subsidize the rent payments. The subsidy represents a majority of the rent payment and is paid to the owner of the property who is responsible for the mortgage payment. While we plan to continue originating these loans, our planned growth is limited.
A title insurance policy must be obtained for each loan, and we require fire and extended coverage casualty insurance. We do not require environmental testing unless specific concerns for hazards are identified by the appraiser.
Home Equity Loans. Our home equity loans and our home equity lines of credit are secured by second mortgages on owner occupied one-to four-family residences. The maximum loan-to-value of these loans generally is 85%. At September 30, 2011, home equity loans and home equity lines of credit secured by second mortgages totaled $1,821,000, or 3.35%, of total loans. Home equity loans consist of fixed-rate loans with terms up to a maximum of 20 years. At September 30, 2011, home equity loans totaled $623,000. Home equity lines of credit are adjustable monthly and tied to the prime rate. At September 30, 2011, home equity lines of credit totaled $1,198,000.
A home equity loan and a home equity line of credit can be used for a variety of purposes. The underwriting standards for the second mortgage include a title review, the recordation of a junior lien, a determination of the applicant’s ability to satisfy existing debt obligations and payments on the proposed loan, and the value of the collateral securing the loan.
Loans secured by second mortgages have greater risk than owner-occupied residential loans secured by first mortgages. When customers default on their loans, we attempt to foreclose on the property. However, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to compensate for the amount of the unpaid loan, and we may be unsuccessful in recovering the remaining balance from these customers. In addition, decreases in property values could adversely affect the value of properties used as collateral for the loans.
Mobile Home Loans.As of September 30, 2011, mobile home loans totaled $2,430,000, or 4.46%, of the total loan portfolio. We ceased originating mobile home loans in September 2007, and no future originations of these types of loans are planned. Our mobile home loans were purchased from a third-party originator and funded by us at settlement. We paid a premium/loan origination fee to the third party originator, of which one-half was wired upon settlement and the remainder was retained by us in a depository account as a reserve for any losses or prepayments. At September 30, 2011, we had prepaid loan origination fees related to this program of $362,000, and the balance in the reserve account available to it was $96,000.
For us to have financed a mobile home loan, the mobile home must have been based on a permanent foundation. Mobile home lending involves additional risks as a result of higher loan-to-value ratios usually associated with these types of loans. The most frequent purchasers of mobile homes are retirees and younger, first-time buyers. These

borrowers may be deemed to be relatively high credit risks due to various factors, including, among other things, the manner in which they have handled previous credit, the absence or limited extent of their prior credit history or limited financial resources. Mobile home loan customers have historically been more adversely impacted by weak economic conditions, loss of employment and increases in other household costs. Consequently, mobile home loans bear a higher rate of interest, have a higher probability of default and may involve higher delinquency rates and greater servicing costs relative to loans to more creditworthy borrowers. In addition, the values of mobile homes decline over time and higher levels of inventories of repossessed and used mobile homes may affect the values of collateral and result in higher charge-offs and provisions for loan losses.
Commercial Real Estate Lending Secured by Other Properties. Although our loan policies permit the origination of loans secured by commercial real estate, including multi-family dwellings, during recent years our loan portfolio has not included a significant amount of these loans. The current portfolio of these loans at September 30, 2011, totaled $1,783,000, or 3.27%, of total loans. The current loan-to-value of these loans generally does not exceed 80%. We intend to increase our origination of commercial real estate loans when market conditions improve and expect that such loans will represent a more significant portion of our loan portfolio in the future. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Business Strategy.”
Loans secured by commercial real estate generally have larger loan balances and more credit risk than one- to four-family mortgage loans. The increased credit risk is a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the impact of local and general economic conditions on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. If the cash flows from the property are reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. However, commercial real estate loans generally have higher interest rates than loans secured by one- to four-family real estate.
Construction and Land Development Loans. On a limited basis, we originate residential construction loans to individuals for the construction and permanent financing of their personal residences. Construction loans to individuals are made on the same general terms as our one- to four-family mortgage loans, but provide for the payment of interest only during the construction phase, which is usually six months. At the end of the construction phase, the loan converts to a permanent mortgage loan. Prior to making a commitment to fund a construction loan, we require an appraisal of the property by an independent appraiser. We also review and inspect each project prior to disbursement of funds during the term of the construction loan. Loan proceeds are disbursed after inspection of the project based on percentage of completion.
At September 30, 2011, the balance of these loans was $4,496,000, or 8.25%, of our total loans. When market conditions improve, we anticipate an expansion of our construction and land development loan activity. We limit speculative construction activity, as well as the speculative purchase of building lots. The maximum loan-to-value of these originations generally is 75%, and all these loans include personal guarantees.
Construction financing generally involves greater credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to advance additional funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Moreover, if the estimated value of the completed project proves to be inaccurate, the borrower may hold a property with a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment. Construction loans also expose us to the risks that improvements will not be completed on time in accordance with specifications and projected costs and that repayment will depend on the successful operation or sale of the properties. In addition, many of these borrowers have more than one outstanding loan, so an adverse development with respect to one loan or credit relationship can expose us to significantly greater risk of non-payment and loss.
Commercial Business and Consumer Loans. Commercial business loans are made to borrowers that demonstrate the ability to repay the debt through corporate cash flows. A majority of our commercial business loans are secured by assignments of corporate assets and include personal guarantees of the business owners. At September 30, 2011, commercial business loans totaled $1,502,000, or 2.76%, of total loans.

Table of Contents
Underwriting standards for commercial business loans include a review of the applicant’s tax returns, financial statements, credit history and an assessment of the applicant’s ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan based on cash flows generated by the applicant’s business.
Commercial business loans generally have higher interest rates and shorter terms than one- to four-family residential loans, but they also may involve higher average balances, increased difficulty of loan monitoring and a higher risk of default since their repayment generally depends on the successful operation of the borrower’s business. We typically require a principal of the company obtaining a commercial business loan to personally sign the note as a co-borrower or guarantor.
Currently, the only consumer loans we offer consist of deposit account loans. At September 30, 2011, these loans totaled $6,000, or 0.01%, of total loans. Generally, these loans are made at an interest rate that is 2.00% above the account rate for up to 80% of the account balance and for a term through the next maturity date.
Loan Originations, Purchases and Sales.Loan originations are obtained through a variety of sources, including referrals from existing customers and real estate brokers. We hold the majority of our loan originations other than one-to four-family non-owner occupied loans for long term investment. Currently, the majority of one-to four-family non-owner occupied originations are sold on a participation basis to other community banks. However, there can be no assurance that these community banks will continue to participate in the originations of our non-owner occupied loans.
The following table shows loan origination, sale and principal repayment activity during the periods indicated.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. Our lending activities are subject to written, non-discriminatory underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by our board of directors. The loan approval process is intended to assess the borrower’s ability to repay the loan and value of the property that will secure the loan. To assess the borrower’s ability to repay, we review the borrower’s employment and credit history and information on the historical and projected income and expenses of the borrower.
11
Table of Contents
Our policies and loan approval limits are established by the board of directors. Upon receipt of a loan application from a prospective borrower, a credit report, tax returns and verifications are ordered or requested to confirm specific information relating to the loan applicant’s employment, income and credit standing. We require appraisals by independent, licensed, third-party appraisers of all real property secured loans, except where it relies on county tax records on smaller loans. All appraisers are approved by the board of directors annually. All loans are processed at our main office. The loan underwriting committee, comprised of Messrs. Solomon (Chairman), Yanke and Lally, approves all loans originated in amounts between $200,000 and $750,000. All loans in excess of $750,000 require board approval. Mr. Solomon’s lending authority is up to $200,000.
Loans to One Borrower.Generally, a federal savings association may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be loaned, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which generally does not include real estate. As of September 30, 2011, our largest lending relationship with a single or related group of borrowers totaled $1,300,000, which represented 13.03% of the Bank’s unimpaired capital and surplus. Therefore, we were in compliance with the loans-to-one borrower limitations.
Asset Quality
General. When a loan is 15 days past due, we send the borrower a late notice. We also contact the borrower by phone if the delinquency is not corrected promptly after the notice has been sent. When the loan is 30 days past due, we mail the borrower a letter reminding the borrower of the delinquency, and attempt to contact the borrower personally to determine the reason for the delinquency in order to ensure that the borrower understands the terms of the loan and the importance of making payments on or before the due date. If necessary, subsequent delinquency notices are issued and the account will be monitored on a regular basis thereafter. By the 90th day of delinquency, we will send the borrower a final demand for payment and may recommend foreclosure. Loans are charged off when we believe that the recovery of principal is improbable. A summary report of all loans 30 days or more past due is provided to the board of directors of the Bank each month.
Loans are automatically placed on non-accrual status when payment of principal or interest is more than 90 days delinquent. Loans are also placed on non-accrual status if collection of principal or interest in full is in doubt or if the loan has been restructured. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received. The loan may be returned to accrual status if unpaid principal and interest are repaid so that the loan is less than 90 days delinquent.
We account for impaired loans under generally accepted accounting principles. An impaired loan generally is one for which it is probable, based on current information, that the lender will not collect all the amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan. Loans are individually evaluated for impairment. When we classify a problem asset as impaired, we provide a specific allowance for that portion of the asset that is deemed uncollectable, based on the present value of expected future cashflows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, or based on the loan’s observable market price or fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. As of September 30, 2011 we had five impaired loan relationships with total balances of $1,097,000 with specific allowance for loan losses of $163,000.
Loans may be periodically modified in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) to make concessions to help a borrower remain current on the loan and to avoid foreclosure. Generally, we do not forgive principal or interest on a loan or modify the interest rate on loans that are below market rates. When we modify loans in a TDR, we evaluate any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans. If we determine that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized through a specific allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance. At September 30, 2011, we had one loan secured by other properties in the amount of $216,000 that was restructured and was considered a troubled debt restructuring and one loan secured by a mobile home in the amount of $51,000 that was restructured and was considered a troubled debt restructuring. At September 30, 2010, we had one loan secured by other properties in the amount of $770,000 that restructured and was considered a troubled debt restructuring.

For the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the amounts of additional interest income that would have been recognized on non-accrual loans if such loans had continued to perform in accordance with their contractual terms were $78,000 and $15,000, respectively. Interest income of $32,000 and $26,000 was recognized on these loans for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Classification of Assets.Our policies, consistent with regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans and other assets that are considered 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 assets characterized by the distinct possibility that we 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 (or portions of assets) classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. Assets that do not expose us to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve close attention, are required to be designated as special mention. On the basis of our review of our assets as of September 30, 2011, we had $530,000 of assets designated as special mention.
When assets are classified as either substandard or doubtful, we allocate a portion of the related general loss allowances to such assets as we deem prudent. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to absorb credit losses incurred in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the balance sheet date. When we classify a problem asset as impaired, we provide a specific reserve for that portion of the asset that is deemed uncollectible. Determinations as to the classification of assets and the amount of loss allowances are subject to review by our principal federal regulator, the OCC, which can require that we establish additional loss allowances. We regularly review our asset portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. On the basis of our review of our assets at September 30, 2011, we had $1,785,000 of assets classified as substandard, of which four relationships were considered impaired

On the basis of our review of our assets at September 30, 2011, we had $216,000 of assets classified as doubtful and this loan was considered impaired. This loan was restructured and is considered a troubled debt restructuring. Based on the appraisal of the commercial property, an additional allowance was not required for the remaining loan.

Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets. Real estate acquired by us as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as foreclosed real estate until sold. When property is acquired it is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair market value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Estimated fair value generally represents the sale price a buyer would be willing to pay on the basis of current market conditions, including normal terms from other financial institutions, less the estimated costs to sell the property. Holding costs and declines in estimated fair market value result in charges to expense after acquisition. At September 30, 2011, we had $884,000 in foreclosed real estate.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses. We maintain the allowance at a level believed, to the best of management’s knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. Management reviews the allowance for loan losses on no less than a quarterly basis in order to identify those inherent losses and to assess the overall collection probability for the loan portfolio. The evaluation process includes, among other things, an analysis of delinquency trends, non-performing loan trends, the level of charge-offs and recoveries, prior loss experience, total loans outstanding, the volume of loan originations, the type, size and geographic concentration of the loans, the value of collateral securing the loan, the borrower’s ability to repay and repayment performance, the number of loans requiring heightened management oversight, local economic conditions and industry experience. Such risk factors are periodically reviewed by management and revised as deemed appropriate. The establishment of the allowance for loan losses is significantly affected by management’s judgment and uncertainties, and there is a likelihood that different amounts would be reported under different conditions or assumptions. The OCC, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews the allowance for loan losses. The OCC may require us to make additional provisions for estimated loan losses based upon judgments different from those of management.
The allowance generally consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.
We will continue to monitor and modify our allowances for loan losses as conditions dictate. No assurances can be given that the level of allowance for loan losses will cover all of the inherent losses on the loans or that future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses will not be necessary if economic and other conditions differ substantially from the economic and other conditions used by management to determine the current level of the allowance for loan losses.
During fiscal year 2011, the Bank repossessed a mobile home which was subsequently sold during March 2011. The total principal loss that was charged against the mobile home loan reserve account, after the sale of the mobile home, was $19,000. During the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, we repossessed a mobile home which was subsequently sold during September 2010. The total principal loss that was charged against the mobile home loan reserve account, after the sale of the mobile home, was $44,000. The losses on these mobile home repossessions were not charged against the allowance for loan losses since the reserve account for the mobile home loans was sufficient enough to absorb the loss. The mobile home loan portfolio is evaluated on a quarterly basis to assess the overall collection probability for the mobile home loan portfolio and includes the same evaluation process that it is used for the loans included in the allowance for loan losses. We will continue to monitor the reserve account and modify our allowances for loan losses relative to mobile home loans.

Investment Activities
General.We are permitted under federal law to invest in various types of liquid assets, including United States Government obligations, securities of various federal agencies and of state and municipal governments, mortgage-backed securities, deposits at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, certificates of deposit of federally insured institutions, certain bankers’ acceptances and federal funds. Within certain regulatory limits, we may also invest a portion of our assets in commercial paper and corporate debt securities. We are also required to maintain an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock.
Our investment objectives are to maintain high asset quality, to provide and maintain liquidity, to establish an acceptable level of interest rate and credit risk, to provide an alternate source of low-risk investments when demand for loans is weak and to generate a favorable return. The board of directors has the overall responsibility for the investment portfolio, including approval of our investment policy. The board of directors is also responsible for implementation of the investment policy and monitoring investment performance. The board of directors reviews the status of the investment portfolio on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if warranted.
The current investment policy authorizes us to invest in debt securities issued by the United States Government, agencies of the United States Government or United States Government-sponsored enterprises. The policy also
17
Table of Contents
permits investments in mortgage-backed securities, including pass-through securities, issued and guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. The investment policy also permits investments in federal funds and deposits in other insured institutions. In addition, management is authorized to invest in investment grade state and municipal obligations, commercial paper and corporate debt obligations within regulatory parameters. We do not engage in any hedging activities or trading activities, nor do we purchase any high-risk mortgage derivative products, corporate junk bonds, zero coupon bonds, certain types of structured notes or any other derivative products.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that, at the time of purchase, we designate a security as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading, depending on our ability and intent. Securities available for sale are reported at fair value, while securities held to maturity are reported at amortized cost. We do not maintain a trading portfolio. Establishing a trading portfolio would require specific authorization by the board of directors.
Securities
At September 30, 2011, the held to maturity portfolio, which is carried at amortized cost, totaled $1,637,000, or 2.25% of total assets and the available-for-sale portfolio, which is carried at fair value, totaled $6,168,000, or 8.47% of total assets. We also held $4,152,000 in federal funds sold in other institutions, $169,000 in interest-bearing deposits at other banks, $1,249,000 in certificates of deposit in other institutions, and $604,000 in Federal Home Loan Bank Stock of Atlanta at September 30, 2011.
United States Government and Federal Agency Obligations. While United States Government and federal agency securities generally provide lower yields than other investments in the securities investment portfolio, we maintain these investments, to the extent appropriate, for liquidity purposes, as collateral for borrowings and as an interest rate risk hedge in the event of significant mortgage loan prepayments. At September 30, 2011, the investment portfolio did not contain any federal agency securities.
Mortgage-Backed Securities.We invest in mortgage-backed securities insured or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. We have not purchased privately-issued mortgage-backed securities. We invest in mortgage-backed securities to achieve positive interest rate spreads with minimal administrative expense, and to lower our credit risk as a result of the guarantees provided by Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae.
Ginnie Mae is a government agency within the Department of Housing and Urban Development which is intended to help finance government-assisted housing programs. Ginnie Mae securities are backed by loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration, or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration. The timely payment of principal and interest on Ginnie Mae securities is guaranteed by Ginnie Mae and backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Freddie Mac is a private corporation chartered by the U.S. Government. Freddie Mac issues participation certificates backed principally by conventional mortgage loans. Freddie Mac guarantees the timely payment of interest and the ultimate return of principal on participation certificates. Fannie Mae is a private corporation chartered by the U.S. Congress with a mandate to establish a secondary market for mortgage loans. Fannie Mae guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on Fannie Mae securities. In September 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency placed Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae into conservatorship. The U.S. Treasury has implemented a set of financing agreements to ensure that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae meet their obligations to holders of bonds that they have issued or guaranteed.
Investments in mortgage-backed securities involve a risk that actual payments will be greater or less than the prepayment rate estimated at the time of purchase, which may require adjustments to the amortization of any premium or acceleration of any discount relating to such interests, thereby affecting the net yield on our securities. We periodically review current prepayment speeds to determine whether prepayment estimates require modification that could cause amortization or accretion adjustments. There is also reinvestment risk associated with the cash flows from such securities or in the event such securities are redeemed by the issuer. In addition, the market value of such securities may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. At September 30, 2011, mortgage-backed securities consisted of $5,676,000 in fixed rate securities and $492,000 in variable rate securities.

Deposits and Borrowings
Deposits traditionally have been the primary source of funds for our lending and investment activities. In addition to deposits, we derive funds primarily from principal and interest payments on loans. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows are significantly influenced by general interest rates, money market conditions and competition. Borrowings may also be used on a short- term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds from other sources and may be used on a longer-term basis for general business purposes.
Deposits.We generate deposits primarily from within our market area. We rely on our competitive pricing and customer service to attract and retain deposits. We offer a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms. Deposit accounts consist of savings accounts, certificates of deposit and NOW accounts.
19
Table of Contents
Total deposits increased to $50,947,000 at September 30, 2011, compared to $49,971,000 at September 30, 2010. Deposits are generated primarily from within our market area.
Interest rates, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established on a periodic basis. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current operating strategies and market interest rates, liquidity requirements, interest rates paid by competitors and deposit growth goals.
At September 30, 2011, we had a total of $35,938,000 in certificates of deposit, of which $23,767,000, or 66.13% had remaining maturities of one year or less. Based on historical experience and its current pricing strategy, management believes we will retain a large portion of these accounts upon maturity.

Borrowings. We may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta upon the security of the common stock we own in that bank and certain of our residential mortgage loans, provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. These advances are made pursuant to several credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. Federal Home Loan Bank advances are generally available to meet seasonal and other withdrawals of deposit accounts and to permit increased lending.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
General
Fairmount Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation, is the parent holding company for Fairmount Bank. Fairmount Bank made an election to be considered a “savings association” for purposes of holding company regulations. Fairmount Bancorp registered as a savings and loan holding company and is required to file certain reports with, is subject to examination by, and otherwise must comply with the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, as the primary regulator of Fairmount Bancorp. Fairmount Bancorp is also subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws.
Fairmount Bank is examined and supervised by the OCC, as the primary regulator of Fairmount Bank, and is subject to examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution may engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s deposit insurance funds and depositors. Under this system of federal regulation, financial institutions are periodically examined to ensure that they satisfy applicable standards with respect to their capital adequacy, assets, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market interest rates. Following completion of its examination, the federal agency critiques the institution’s operations and assigns its rating (known as an institution’s CAMELS rating). Under federal law, an institution may not disclose its CAMELS rating to the public. Fairmount Bank also is a member of and owns stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, which is one of the twelve regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank also is regulated to a lesser extent by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, governing reserves to be maintained against deposits and other matters. The OCC will examine the Bank and prepare reports for the consideration of its board of directors on any operating deficiencies. The Bank’s relationship with its depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by federal law and, to a much lesser extent, state law, especially in matters concerning the ownership of deposit accounts and the form and content of the Bank’s loan documents.
22
Table of Contents
Any change in these laws or regulations, whether by the FDIC, the OCC, the Federal Reserve Board or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on the Company, the Bank and their operations.
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the OTS’s functions relating to federal savings associations, including rulemaking authority, were transferred to the OCC on July 21, 2011. The thrift charter has been preserved and a new Deputy Comptroller of the Currency will supervise and examine the federal savings associations and savings banks.
Fairmount Bancorp, Inc., as a savings and loan holding company, is required to file certain reports with, is subject to examination by, and other wise must comply with the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. is also subject to the rules and regulations of the SEC under the federal securities laws. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the functions of the OTS relating to savings and loan holding companies and their subsidiaries, as well as, rulemaking and supervision authority over thrift holding companies, were transferred to the Federal Reserve Board on July 21, 2011.
Certain of the regulatory requirements that are or will be applicable to the Bank and the Company are described below. This description of statutes and regulations is not intended to be a complete explanation of such statutes and regulations and their effects on the Bank and the Company and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual statutes and regulations.
Federal Banking Regulation
Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act significantly changed the current bank regulatory structure and affects the lending, investment, trading, and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated the Company’s primary federal regulator, the OTS, and required Fairmount Bank to be regulated by the OCC. The Dodd-Frank Act also authorized the Federal Reserve Board to supervise and regulate all savings and loan holding companies like Fairmount Bancorp, Inc., in addition to bank holding companies which it currently regulates. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board’s current regulations applicable to bank holding companies, including holding company capital requirements, apply to savings and loan holding companies. These capital requirements are substantially similar to the capital requirements currently applicable to Fairmount Bank, as described in “Federal Banking Regulation—Capital Requirements.” The Dodd-Frank Act also requires the Federal Reserve Board to set minimum capital levels for bank holding companies that are as stringent as those required for the insured depository subsidiaries, and the components of Tier 1 capital would be restricted to capital instruments that are currently considered to be Tier 1 capital for insured depository institutions. Bank holding companies with assets of less than $500 million are exempt from these capital requirements. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the proceeds of trust preferred securities are excluded from Tier 1 capital unless such securities were issued prior to May 19, 2010 by bank or savings and loan holding companies with less than $15 billion of assets. The legislation also establishes a floor for capital of insured depository institutions that cannot be lower than the standards in effect today, and directs the federal banking regulators to implement new leverage and capital requirements within 18 months that take into account off-balance sheet activities and other risks, including risks relating to securitized products and derivatives.
The Dodd-Frank Act also created a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) with broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The CFPB has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions such as Fairmount Bank, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices. The CFPB has examination and enforcement authority over all banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets. Banks and savings institutions with $10 billion or less in assets will be examined by their applicable bank regulators. The new legislation also weakened the federal preemption available for national banks and federal savings associations, and gives state attorneys general the ability to enforce applicable federal consumer protection laws.
The legislation also broadened the base for FDIC insurance assessments. Assessments are now being based on the average consolidated total assets less tangible equity capital of a financial institution. The Dodd-Frank Act also permanently increases the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks, savings institutions and credit unions to $250,000 per depositor, retroactive to January 1, 2009, and non-interest bearing transaction accounts have unlimited deposit insurance through December 31, 2013. Lastly, the Dodd-Frank Act increased stockholder influence over boards of directors by requiring companies to give stockholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation and
23
Table of Contents
so-called “golden parachute” payments, and authorizing the SEC to promulgate rules that would allow stockholders to nominate and solicit voters for their own candidates using a company’s proxy materials. The legislation also directs the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to bank holding company executives, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded or not.
Many of the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented over time and most will be subject to regulations implemented over the course of several years. Given the uncertainty associated with the manner in which the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented by the various regulatory agencies and through regulations, the full extent of the impact such requirements will have on our operations is unclear. The changes resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act may impact the profitability of our business activities, require changes to certain of our business practices, impose upon us more stringent capital, liquidity and leverage requirements, or otherwise adversely affect our business. These changes may also require us to invest significant management attention and resources to evaluate and make any changes necessary to comply with new statutory and regulatory requirements. Failure to comply with the new requirements may negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition. While we cannot predict what effect any presently contemplated or future changes in the laws or regulations or their interpretations would have on us, these changes could be materially adverse to our investors.
Business Activities.As a federal savings association, the Bank may invest in mortgage loans secured by residential real estate without limitation as a percentage of assets, and may invest in non-residential real estate loans up to 400% of capital in the aggregate, commercial business loans up to 20% of assets in the aggregate and consumer loans up to 35% of assets in the aggregate, and in certain types of debt securities and certain other assets. The Bank also may establish subsidiaries that may engage in activities not otherwise permissible for the Bank, including real estate investment and securities and insurance brokerage.
Branching.Federal savings banks are authorized to establish branch offices in any state or states of the United States and its territories, subject to the approval of the OCC.
Capital Requirements.Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regulations require savings associations to meet three minimum capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital ratio, a 4.0% leverage ratio (3.0% for savings associations receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS rating system) and an 8.0% risk-based capital ratio.
The risk-based capital standard for savings associations requires the maintenance of Tier 1 (core) and total capital (which is defined as core capital and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 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 factor of 0% to 100%, assigned by the OCC, based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Core capital is defined as common stockholders’ equity (including retained earnings), certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles other than certain mortgage servicing rights and credit card relationships. The components of supplementary capital currently include cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock, the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets and up to 45% of net unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. Overall, the amount of supplementary capital included as part of total capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital. Additionally, a savings association that retains credit risk in connection with an asset sale may be required to maintain additional regulatory capital because of the recourse back to the savings association. In assessing an institution’s capital adequacy, the OCC takes into consideration not only these numeric factors but also qualitative factors as well, and has the authority to establish higher capital requirements for individual associations where necessary.
At September 30, 2011, the Bank’s capital exceeded all applicable requirements. See Note 14 to the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.

Capital Distributions. Federal regulations govern capital distributions by a federal savings association, which include cash dividends, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the capital account. A savings association must file an application for approval of a capital distribution if:
• | the total capital distributions for the applicable calendar year exceed the sum of the savings association’s net income for that year to date plus the savings association’s retained net income for the preceding two years; |
• | the savings association would not be at least adequately capitalized following the distribution; |
• | the distribution would violate any applicable statute, regulation, agreement or Office of the Comptroller of the Currency-imposed condition; or |
• | the savings association is not eligible for expedited treatment of its filings. |
Even if an application is not otherwise required, every savings association that is a subsidiary of a holding company must still file a notice with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency at least 30 days before the board of directors declares a dividend or approves a capital distribution.
The notice or application may be disapproved if:
• | the savings association would be undercapitalized following the distribution; |
• | the proposed capital distribution raises safety and soundness concerns; or |
• | the capital distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation or agreement. |
In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act provides that an insured depository institution shall not make any capital distribution, if after making such distribution the institution would be undercapitalized.
Liquidity. We maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure safe and sound operation in accordance with federal regulations.
Loans to One Borrower.Federal law provides that savings institutions are generally subject to the limits on loans to one borrower applicable to national banks. Subject to certain exceptions, a savings institution may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if secured by specified readily-marketable collateral. See “ –Lending Activities – Loans to One Borrower.”
Qualified Thrift Lender Test. As a federal savings association, we must satisfy the qualified thrift lender, or “QTL,” test. Under the QTL test, we must maintain at least 65% of our “portfolio assets” in “qualified thrift investments” (primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including mortgage-backed securities) in at least nine months of the most recent 12-month period. “Portfolio assets” generally means total assets of a savings institution, less the sum of specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, and the value of property used in the conduct of the savings association’s business.
We also may satisfy the QTL test by qualifying as a “domestic building and loan association” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
A savings association that fails the qualified thrift lender test must either convert to a bank charter or operate under specified restrictions set forth in the Home Owners’ Loan Act. At September 30, 2011, we maintained approximately 92.68% of our portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments and, therefore, satisfied the QTL test.
Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws. All federal savings associations have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act and related regulations to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income borrowers. In connection with its examination of a federal savings association, federal regulators are required to assess the savings association’s record of compliance with the Community
25
Table of Contents
Reinvestment Act. In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit lenders from discriminating in their lending practices on the basis of characteristics specified in those statutes. A savings association’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in denial of certain corporate applications such as branches or mergers, or in restrictions on its activities. The failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in enforcement actions by the OCC, as well as other federal regulatory agencies and the Department of Justice. Fairmount Bank received a “satisfactory” Community Reinvestment Act rating in its most recent federal examination. The Community Reinvestment Act requires all Federal Deposit Insurance – insured institutions to publicly disclose their ratings.
Transactions with Related Parties. A federal savings association’s authority to engage in transactions with its affiliates is limited by federal regulations and by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, and by Regulation W promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. An affiliate is a company that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with an insured depository institution such as Fairmount Bank. Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. is an affiliate of Fairmount Bank. In general, loan transactions between an insured depository institution and its affiliates are subject to certain quantitative and collateral requirements. In this regard, transactions between an insured depository institution and its affiliates are limited to 10% of the institution’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus for transactions with any one affiliate and 20% of unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus for transactions in the aggregate with all affiliates. Collateral of specific types and in specified amounts ranging from 10% to 130% of the amount of the transaction must usually be provided by affiliates in order to receive loans from the savings association. In addition, federal regulations prohibit a savings association from lending to any of its affiliates that are engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and from purchasing the securities of any affiliate, other than a subsidiary. Finally, transactions with affiliates must be consistent with safe and sound banking practices, not involve low-quality assets and be on terms that are as favorable to the institution as comparable transactions with non-affiliates. Savings associations are required to maintain detailed records of all transactions with affiliates.
Fairmount Bank’s authority to extend credit to its directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders, as well as to entities controlled by such persons, is currently governed by the requirements of Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O of the Federal Reserve Board. Among other things, these provisions generally require that extensions of credit to insiders:
(i) | be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons and that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features; and |
(ii) | not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of Fairmount Bank’s capital. |
In addition, extensions of credit in excess of certain limits must be approved by Fairmount Bank’s board of directors.
Enforcement. The OCC has primary enforcement responsibility over federal savings institutions and has the authority to bring enforcement action against all “institution-affiliated parties,” including stockholders, and 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 by the OCC may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order, to removal of officers and/or directors of the institution and the appointment of a receiver or conservator. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and 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 $1.0 million per day. The FDIC also has the authority to terminate deposit insurance or to recommend to the OCC that enforcement action be taken with respect to a particular savings institution. If action is not taken by the OCC, the FDIC has authority to take action under specified circumstances.
Standards for Safety and Soundness. Federal law requires each federal banking agency to prescribe certain standards for all insured depository institutions. These standards relate to, among other things, internal controls, information systems and audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, compensation, and other operational and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate. The federal
26
Table of Contents
banking agencies adopted Interagency Guidelines Prescribing Standards for Safety and Soundness to implement the safety and soundness standards required under federal law. 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. If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If an institution fails to meet these standards, the appropriate federal banking agency may require the institution to submit an acceptable compliance plan. Failure to implement such a plan can result in further enforcement action, including the issuance of a cease and desist order or the imposition of civil money penalties.
Prompt Corrective Action Regulations. Under the prompt corrective action regulations, the OCC is required and authorized to take supervisory actions against undercapitalized savings associations. For this purpose, a savings association is placed in one of the following five categories based on the savings association’s capital:
• | well-capitalized (at least 5% leverage capital, 6% Tier 1 risk-based capital and 10% total risk-based capital); |
• | adequately capitalized (at least 4% leverage capital, 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital and 8% total risk-based capital); |
• | undercapitalized (less than 8% total risk-based capital, 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital or 3% leverage capital); |
• | significantly undercapitalized (less than 6% total risk-based capital, 3% Tier 1 risk-based capital or 3% leverage capital); and |
• | critically undercapitalized (less than 2% tangible capital). |
Generally, the banking regulator is required to appoint a receiver or conservator for a savings association that is “critically undercapitalized” within specific time frames. The regulations also provide that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the OCC within 45 days of the date a savings association receives notice that it is “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” or “critically undercapitalized.” The criteria for an acceptable capital restoration plan include, among other things, the establishment of the methodology and assumptions for attaining adequately capitalized status on an annual basis, procedures for ensuring compliance with restrictions imposed by applicable federal regulations, the identification of the types and levels of activities in which the savings association will engage while the capital restoration plan is in effect, and assurances that the capital restoration plan will not appreciably increase the current risk profile of the savings association. Any holding company for the savings association required to submit a capital restoration plan must guarantee the lesser of an amount equal to 5% of the savings association’s assets at the time it was notified or deemed to be undercapitalized by the OCC, or the amount necessary to restore the savings association to adequately capitalized status. This guarantee remains in place until the OCC notifies the savings association that it has maintained adequately capitalized status for each of four consecutive calendar quarters, and the OCC has the authority to require payment and collect payment under the guarantee. Failure by a holding company to provide the required guarantee will result in certain operating restrictions on the savings association, such as restrictions on the ability to declare and pay dividends, pay executive compensation and management fees, and increase assets or expand operations. The OCC may also take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions against undercapitalized associations, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors.
At September 30, 2011, we met the criteria for being considered “well-capitalized.”
Insurance of Deposit Accounts.The Dodd-Frank Act permanently increased the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks, savings institutions and credit unions to $250,000 per depositor. Non-interest bearing transaction accounts have unlimited deposit insurance through December 31, 2013. Under the FDIC’s risk-based assessment system, insured institutions are assigned to one of four risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other risk factors. An institution is assigned an assessment rate from 7.00 to 77.5 basis points based upon the risk category to which it is assigned.
27
Table of Contents
The FDIC is authorized to set the reserve ratio for the Deposit Insurance Fund annually at between 1.15% and 1.5% of estimated insured deposits. The Dodd-Frank Act mandates that the statutory minimum reserve ratio of the Deposit Insurance Fund increase from 1.15% to 1.35% of insured deposits by September 30, 2020. Banks with assets of less than $10 billion are exempt from any additional assessments necessary to increase the reserve fund above 1.15%. As part of a plan to restore the reserve ratios to 1.15%, in June 2009 the FDIC imposed a special assessment on all insured institutions equal to five basis points of assets less Tier I capital as of June 30, 2009, payable on September 30, 2009, in order to cover losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund resulting from bank failures. Fairmount Bank recorded an expense of $28,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2009, to reflect the special assessment. In addition, the FDIC increased its quarterly deposit insurance assessment rates and amended the method by which rates are calculated.
In addition, in lieu of further special assessments, the FDIC required all insured depository institutions to prepay on December 30, 2009, their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, and for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012. Estimated assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010 are based upon the assessment rate in effect on September 30, 2009, with three basis points added for the 2011 and 2012 assessment rates. In addition, a 5% annual growth in the assessment base is assumed. Prepaid assessments are to be applied against the actual quarterly assessments until exhausted, and may not be applied to any special assessments that may occur in the future. Any unused prepayments will be returned to the institution on June 30, 2013. On December 30, 2009, the Company prepaid $1.4 million in estimated assessment fees for the fourth quarter of 2009 through 2012. Because the prepaid assessments represent the prepayment of future expense, they do not affect regulatory capital (the prepaid asset will have a risk-weighting of 0%) or tax obligations.
In February 2011, as required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC revised the assessment base to consist of average consolidated total assets during the assessment period minus the average tangible equity during the assessment period. In addition, the revisions eliminated the adjustment for secured borrowings and make certain other changes to the impact of unsecured borrowings and brokered deposits on an institution’s deposit insurance assessment. The rule also revised the assessment rate schedule to provide assessments ranging from 5 to 45 basis points.
Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company does not believe it is taking or is subject to any action, condition or violation that could lead to termination of the Company’s deposit insurance.
In addition to the FDIC assessments, the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) is authorized to impose and collect, with the approval of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, assessments for anticipated payments, issuance costs and custodial fees on bonds issued by the FICO in the 1980s to recapitalize the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds issued by the FICO are due to mature in 2017 through 2019. For the quarter ended June 30, 2010, the annualized FICO assessment was equal to 1.04 basis points for each $100 in domestic deposits maintained at an institution.
Prohibitions Against Tying Arrangements. Federal savings associations are prohibited, subject to some exceptions, from extending credit to or offering any other service, or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of credit or service, on the condition that the customer obtain some additional service from the institution or its affiliates or not obtain services of a competitor of the institution.
Federal Home Loan Bank System. Fairmount Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank System provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, we are required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank. As of September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with this requirement.

Holding Company Regulation
General. After completion of the conversion, Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. became a non-diversified savings and loan holding company within the meaning of the Home Owners’ Loan Act. As such, Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. is registered with the Federal Reserve and subject Federal Reserve regulations, examinations, supervision and reporting requirements. In addition, the Federal Reserve has enforcement authority over Fairmount Bancorp, Inc.
29

and its subsidiaries. Among other things, this authority permits the Federal Reserve to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings institution. Like bank holding companies, federal savings and loan holding companies are now subject to any regulatory capital requirements or to supervision by the Federal Reserve Board.
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the functions of the Office of Thrift Supervision relating to savings and loan holding companies and their subsidiaries, as well as rulemaking and supervision authority over thrift holding companies, were transferred to the Federal Reserve Board on July 21, 2011.
Acquistion of Control.Under the federal Change in Bank Control Act, a notice must be submitted to the Federal Reserve Board if any person (including a company), or group acting in concert, seeks to acquire “control” of a savings and loan holding company or savings association. An acquisition of “control” can occur upon the acquisition of 10% or more the voting stock of a savings and loan holding company or savings institution or as otherwise defined by the Federal Reserve Board. Under the Change in Control Act, the Federal Reserve Board has 60 days from the filing of a complete notice to act, taking into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the anti-trust effects of the acquisition. Any company that so acquires control would then be subject to regulation as a savings and loan holding company.
Permissible Activities.Under present law, the business activities of Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. will be generally limited to those activities permissible for financial holding companies under Section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, or for multiple savings and loan holding companies. A financial holding company may engage in activities that are financial in nature, including underwriting equity securities and insurance as well as activities that are incidental to financial activities or complementary to a financial activity. A multiple savings and loan holding company is generally limited to activities permissible for bank holding companies under Section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act, subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board, and certain additional activities authorized by Federal Reserve Board regulations.
Federal law prohibits a savings and loan holding company, including Fairmount Bancorp, Inc., directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, from acquiring more than 5.0% of another savings institution or holding company thereof, without prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Board. It also prohibits the acquisition or retention of, with certain exceptions, more than 5.0% of a nonsubsidiary company engaged in activities that are not closely related to banking or financial in nature, or acquiring or retaining control of an institution that is not federally insured. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Federal Reserve Board must consider the financial and managerial resources, future prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the federal deposit insurance fund, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive factors.
Federal Securities Laws

internal control over financial reporting; they have made certain disclosures to our auditors and the audit committee of the board of directors about our internal control over financial reporting; and they have included information in our quarterly and annual reports about their evaluation and whether there have been changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect internal control over financial reporting. We will be subject to further reporting and audit requirements beginning with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011 under the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We have prepared and will prepare policies, procedures and systems designed to ensure compliance with these regulations.
TAXATION
Federal Taxation
General. Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. and Fairmount Bank are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. For federal income tax purposes, Fairmount Bancorp files a consolidated federal income tax return with its wholly owned subsidiary, Fairmount Bank, on a fiscal year basis. The applicable federal income tax expense or benefit is properly allocated to each subsidiary based upon taxable income or loss calculated on a separate company basis. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize material federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. and Fairmount Bank.
Method of Accounting.For federal income tax purposes, income and expenses are reported on the accrual method of accounting and Fairmount Bancorp will file its federal income tax return using a September 30 fiscal year end.
Bad Debt Reserves.For fiscal years beginning before June 30, 1996, thrift institutions that qualified under certain definitional tests and other conditions of the Internal Revenue Code were permitted to use certain favorable provisions to calculate their deductions from taxable income for annual additions to their bad debt reserve. A reserve could be established for bad debts on qualifying real property loans, generally secured by interests in real property improved or to be improved, under the percentage of taxable income method or the experience method. The reserve for nonqualifying loans was computed using the experience method. Federal legislation enacted in 1996 repealed the reserve method of accounting for bad debts and the percentage of taxable income method for tax years beginning after 1995 and require savings institutions to recapture or take into income certain portions of their accumulated bad debt reserves.
Alternative Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences, referred to as “alternative minimum taxable income.” The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent alternative minimum taxable income is in excess of an exemption amount. Net operating losses can, in general, offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. At September 30, 2011, we had no minimum tax credit carry forward.
Net Operating Loss Carryovers. A financial institution may carry back net operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years. At September 30, 2011, we had no net operating loss carry forward for federal income tax purposes.
Corporate Dividends. We may exclude from our income 100% of dividends received from Fairmount Bank as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations.
Audit of Tax Returns.Our federal income tax returns have not been audited during the last five-year period.
Maryland Taxation
Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. is subject to Maryland’s Corporation Business Tax at the rate of 8.25% on its taxable income, before net operating loss deductions and special deductions for federal income tax purposes. Fairmount Bank is required to file Maryland income tax returns. For this purpose, “taxable income” generally means federal taxable income subject to certain adjustments (including addition of interest income on state and municipal obligations).

The Board of Directors has the authority to declare cash dividends on shares of common stock, subject to statutory and regulatory requirements. However, no decision has been made with respect to the payment of cash dividends. In determining whether and in what amount to pay a cash dividend, the Board is expected to take into account a number of factors, including capital requirements, our consolidated financial condition and results of operations, tax considerations, statutory and regulatory limitations and general economic conditions. No assurances can be given that any cash dividends will be paid or that, if paid, will not be reduced or eliminated in the future.

Dividend payments by Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. are dependent primarily on dividends it receives from Fairmount Bank, because the Company will have no source of income other than dividends from the Bank, earnings from the investment of proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock retained by the Company, and interest payments with respect to the Company’s loan to the ESOP. Federal law imposes limitations on dividends by Federal stock savings banks. See “Supervision and Regulation—Federal Banking Regulation—Capital Distributions.”
At September 30, 2011, there were no compensation plans under which equity securities of Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. were authorized for issuance other than the ESOP.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Our results of operations depend mainly on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income we earn on our loan and investment portfolios and the interest expense we pay on our deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by provisions for loan losses and noninterest income. Our noninterest expense consists primarily of compensation and employee benefits, office occupancy and general administrative and data processing expenses.
Our results of operations are significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly with respect to changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable law, regulations or government policies may materially affect its financial condition and results of operations.
Historically, our business has consisted primarily of originating one-to four-family real estate loans secured by property in our market area and investing in mortgage-backed and investment securities. Typically, one-to four-family loans involve a lower degree of risk and carry a lower yield than commercial real estate, construction and consumer loans. Our loans are primarily funded by certificates of deposit and, to a lesser extent, savings accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta advances. Certificates of deposit typically have a higher interest rate than savings accounts. The combination of these factors, along with our capital level, has resulted in low interest rate spreads and returns on equity.
Critical Accounting Policies
In reviewing and understanding our financial information, you are encouraged to read and understand the significant accounting policies used in preparing our financial statements. These policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Our accounting and financial reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, the financial statements require certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions, which are believed to be reasonable, based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. Management believes that evaluation of the allowance for loan losses is the most critical accounting policy to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. This policy requires numerous estimates or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or may be subject to variations which may significantly affect our reported results and financial condition for the period or in future periods.
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that represents the amount of probable and reasonably estimable known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio, based on evaluations of the collectability of loans. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the types and amount of loans in the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans, and current economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including, among others, exposure at default, the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impacted loans, value of collateral, estimated losses on our loan portfolios as well as consideration of general loss experience. All of these estimates may be susceptible to significant change.
While management uses the best information available to make loan loss allowance evaluations, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic and other conditions or changes in accounting guidance. In addition, the OCC, as an integral part of its examination processes, periodically reviews the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. The OCC may require the recognition of adjustments to the allowance for loan losses based on its judgment of information available to it at the time of its examinations. To the extent that actual outcomes differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions to the allowance for loan losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.

Business Strategy
Highlights of our business strategy are as follows:
• | Growing and Diversifying our Loan Portfolio. We will pursue loan portfolio diversification with an emphasis on credit risk management to increase our origination of loans that provide higher returns. These loans provide higher returns than loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate. These loans are generally originated with rates that are fixed for seven years or less or adjust periodically, which assists us in managing our interest rate risk. We also intend to increase our origination of commercial real estate and construction loans when market conditions improve. |
• | Continuing to Emphasize Residential Real Estate Lending. Historically, we have emphasized one- to four-family, fixed-rate residential lending within our market area. As of September 30, 2011, $42,426,000, or 77.90%, of our total loan portfolio consisted of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. During the year ended September 30, 2011, we originated $4,602,000 of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans and $560,000 of one-to four-family non-owner occupied loans. In addition, to a lesser extent, we originate construction/permanent loans and second mortgage loans. |
• | Continuing to Maintain Strong Asset Quality Through Conservative Underwriting Standards. We believe that maintaining high asset quality is a key to long-term financial success. We have sought to maintain favorable asset quality reflected primarily by a low level of nonperforming assets, low charge-offs and adequacy of loan loss reserves. We use underwriting standards that we believe are conservative, and we diligently monitor collection efforts. At September 30, 2011, $2,341,000, or 3.22% of our total assets, was nonperforming. Although we intend to diversify our lending activities into commercial real estate loans, construction loans and consumer loans, we intend to maintain our conservative approach to underwriting loans. We do not offer, and do not intend to offer, “interest only,” “Option ARM,” “sub-prime” or Alt-A” loans, nor does it hold any securities backed by these mortgages. Total net charge-offs for the year ended September 30, 2011, were $124,000, or 0.23% of average loans outstanding. |
• | Building Lower Cost Deposits. We currently offer NOW accounts, savings accounts and certificates of deposit. At September 30, 2011, certificates of deposit represented 70.54% of our total deposits. We intend to introduce new commercial checking accounts and focus on growing transaction deposit accounts. Checking accounts, NOW accounts and savings accounts are generally lower-cost sources of funds than certificate of deposits and are less sensitive to withdrawal when interest rates fluctuate. As we grow our commercial loan portfolio, we expect to attract core deposits from our new commercial loan customers. We also expect additional core deposits from internet banking, which is expected to be available to our customers in early 2012. |
• | Maintaining a Strong Capital Position Through Disciplined Growth and Earnings.Our policy has always been to protect the safety and soundness of the institution through conservative risk management, sound operations and a strong capital position. We have consistently maintained capital in excess of regulatory requirements. Our equity to total assets ratio was 15.77% at September 30, 2011. |
• | Offering New and Better Products and Services. We intend to utilize technology to increase productivity and provide new and better products and services. We expect to begin offering debit cards in early 2012. We anticipate implementing an internet banking services platform by early 2012. We expect that these new products and services will help to maintain and increase our deposit base, will attract business and retail customers and will increase productivity. We will analyze the profitability of products and services and allocate our resources to those areas we believe offer the greatest future potential. |
• | Expanding Our Branch Network. We intend to evaluate and pursue opportunities to expand our franchise in our market area through the enhanced presence in the community provided by our new office facility and by opening additional banking offices and, possibly, through acquisitions of other financial institutions and banking related businesses. Other than the acquisition of Fullerton in October 2011, we have no current arrangements to acquire other financial institutions. |

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010
Total assets increased by $1,835,000, or 2.59%, to $72,787,000 at September 30, 2011, from $70,952,000 at September 30, 2010. The increase was the result of an increase of $1,340,000 in cash and cash equivalents and an increase in net loans of $1,214,000 funded by decreases in investment securities of $1,483,000 and increases of $976,000 in deposits.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,340,000, or 27.63%, to $6,189,000 at September 30, 2011, from $4,849,000 at September 30, 2010. This increase was primarily the result of decreases in investment securities due to agency security calls during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.
Investment securities decreased by $1,483,000, or 15.97%, to $7,805,000 at September 30, 2011, from $9,288,000 at September 30, 2010. The decrease was the result of $2,389,000 in purchases offset by $3,958,000 in maturities, payments and calls.
Total net loans increased from $52,544,000 at September 30, 2010, to $53,758,000 at September 30, 2011. This represented an increase of $1,214,000, or 2.31%. The increase in the loan portfolio was primarily attributable to an increase of $850,000, or 3.53%, in the one-to four-family owner occupied real estate loans, an increase of $726,000, or 19.24% in construction and land development loans and an increase of $589,000, or 64.93%, in secured commercial loans. For related party loan information see Note 4 of the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Foreclosed assets increased from September 30, 2010 to September 30, 2011 by $849,000, which is described below:
• | One commercial borrower with one loan secured by five residential condominium units in Ocean City, Maryland and one commercial business property in Anne Arundel County with an outstanding balance of $770,000. This relationship is the result of a loan participation whereby we purchased 35% of the loan from the lead lender. On May 23, 2011, along with the lead lender, we took a deed in lieu of foreclosure on the five condominium units and have hired a management company to maintain the properties and collect the rents. We recorded a foreclosed asset in the amount of $459,000 and a charge-off of $114,000 relating to the five condominium units. We believe we adequately recorded the fair value of the foreclosed asset to enable recovery through the liquidation of the properties and avoid future additional losses on these properties. We have a remaining loan balance of $216,000 with the commercial borrower secured by the commercial business property. This loan was restructured and is considered a troubled debt restructuring. Based on the appraisal of the commercial property, an additional allowance was not required for the remaining loan. |
• | One commercial borrower with one loan secured by seven single family land lots ranging in size from one acre to twenty two acres, in Talbot County with an outstanding balance of $390,000. This relationship is the result of a participation whereby we purchased 35% of the loan from the lead lender. On May 13, 2011, along with the lead lender, we purchased the lots at a foreclosure sale. We recorded a foreclosed asset in the amount of $390,000 relating to the seven single family land lots. We believe we adequately recorded the fair value of the foreclosed asset to enable recovery through the liquidation of the properties. |
Total liabilities at September 30, 2011 were $61,310,000, an increase of $1,189,000, or 1.98%, from $60,121,000 at September 30, 2010. The increase was due primarily to an increase in deposits of $976,000, or 1.95% from September 30, 2010 to September 30, 2011.
Deposits increased to $50,947,000 at September 30, 2011, from $49,971,000 at September 30, 2010. This represented an increase of $976,000, or 1.95%. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased by $94,000, or 13.06%, from $720,000 at September 30, 2010, to $626,000 at September 30, 2011. Interest-bearing demand deposits decreased from $4,277,000 at September 30, 2010, to $3,954,000 at September 30, 2011. This was a decrease of $323,000, or 7.55%. Savings deposits increased $1,162,000, or 12.54%, from $9,267,000 at September 30, 2010, to $10,429,000 at September 30, 2011. Certificates of deposit increased from $35,707,000 at September 30, 2010, to $35,938,000 at September 30, 2011. This represented an increase of $231,000, or 0.65%. For related party deposit information see Note 8 of the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Borrowed funds, which were exclusively Federal Home Loan Bank advances remained the same at $10,000,000 at September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010. At September 30, 2011, the weighted average rate of the advances was 2.69%. The balance of borrowed funds fluctuates depending on, among other things, our ability to attract deposits, the relative pricing of advances compared to deposits, and its liquidity needs.
Total equity was $11,477,000, or 15.77%, of total assets at September 30, 2011, compared to $10,831,000, or 15.27%, of total assets at September 30, 2010. The primary reason for the $646,000, or 5.96% , increase in equity was $489,000 in net income reported for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. Other changes include a release of shares for the ESOP of $91,000 and an increase of $66,000 in accumulated other comprehensive income due primarily to the effects of interest rate fluctuations on the Company’s available-for-sale portfolio.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
Overview.Net income decreased by $24,000, or 4.68%, to $489,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011, from $513,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010. Net interest income increased $301,000, or 12.74%, to $2,663,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011, from $2,362,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010. Provision for loan and lease losses increased by $255,000, or 127.50%, to $455,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011, from $200,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010. Non-interest income increased by $94,000, or 71.21%, from $132,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010, to $226,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011. Non-interest expenses increased by $86,000, or 5.43%, from $1,585,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010, to $1,671,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011. Income taxes increased $78,000, or 39.80%, from $196,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010 to $274,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $301,000, or 12.74%, to $2,663,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011, from $2,362,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010. The increase primarily resulted from the combined effects of an increase of $71,000, or 1.92%, in interest and dividend income to $3,764,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011, from $3,693,000 in the year ended September 30, 2010, and a decrease of $230,000 in interest expense to $1,101,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011, from $1,331,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010. The increase in interest and dividend income was due to a combination of a $4,499,000 increase in the average balance of interest earning assets from September 30, 2010, to September 30, 2011, offset by a decrease in the average rates earned on interest-bearing assets to 5.51% at September 30, 2011 from 5.78% at September 30, 2010. Interest expense decreased due to a combination of a decrease in the average rates paid on deposits and borrowings to 1.82% at September 30, 2011, from 2.26% at September 30, 2010, offset by an increase in interest-bearing liabilities of $1,721,000 from September 30, 2010 to September 30, 2011.
For the year ended September 30, 2011, the average yield on interest-earning assets was 5.51%, compared to 5.78% for the year ended September 30, 2010. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.82% for the year ended September 30, 2011, compared to 2.26% for the year ended September 30, 2010. The average balance of interest-earnings assets increased by $4,499,000, or 7.04%, to $68,370,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011, compared to $63,871,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $1,721,000, or 2.93%, to $60,548,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011, from $58,827,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010.
Due to lower funding costs, the average interest rate spread was 3.69% for the year ended September 30, 2011, compared to 3.52% for the year ended September 30, 2010. The average net interest margin was 3.89% for the year ended September 30, 2011, compared to 3.70% for the year ended September 30, 2010.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses. The Company establishes a provision for loan losses, which is charged to operations, in order to maintain the allowance for loan and leases losses at a level the Company considers necessary to absorb credit losses incurred in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimated at the balance sheet date. In determining the level of the allowance for loan and lease losses, the Company considers past and current loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan and the levels of non-performing loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and actual losses may vary from such estimates as more

information becomes available or economic conditions change. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as circumstances change as more information becomes available. The allowance for loan losses is assessed on a quarterly basis and provisions are made for loan and lease losses as required in order to maintain the allowance.
The provision for loan and lease losses increased $255,000, or 127.50%, to $455,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011, from $200,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010. The primary factors that contributed to the increase in the provision for loan and lease losses were the increase in classified loans from September 30, 2010 to September 30, 2011, the establishment of specific allowances for our impaired loans of $163,000 at September 30, 2011, and the uncertainty regarding the housing market. The Bank recorded net charge-offs of $124,000 and $86,000 for the years ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income was $226,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011, which was an increase of $94,000, or 71.21%, from $132,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010. The primary reason for the increase was that the Company sold its previous headquarters location and recorded a gain of $127,000 on the sale. Service charges and fees decreased by $28,000, or 24.14% from $116,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010, to $88,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011. This decrease in service fees and charges was primarily due to a decrease in loan settlements during the fiscal year.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased by $86,000, or 5.43% to $1,671,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011, from $1,585,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010. The increase was due to increases in salaries, fees and employment expenses, increases in professional expenses, offset by decreases in FDIC insurance premiums. Salaries, fees and employment expenses increased by $39,000, or 4.05%, to $1,001,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011, from $962,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010, primarily as the result of normal pay scale adjustments. Professional fees increased by $48,000, or 55.81%, from $86,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010 to $134,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011. This increase was the result of the increased reporting requirements associated with the Company’s public company status. FDIC insurance premiums decreased by $19,000, or 21.84%, from $87,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010 to $68,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010. This decrease was the result of the recording of additional FDIC expenses during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, after the depletion of the one-time assessment credit.
Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased $78,000, or 39.80%, to $274,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011, from $196,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010. This increase was in part due to the change in accounting method for tax purposes from the cash to accrual basis of accounting that occurred during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. The change provides the Company with a tax deduction to be taken over the next three fiscal years.
Total Comprehensive Income.Total comprehensive income for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, consisted of net income and the change in unrealized gains on investment securities available for sale, net of tax. Total comprehensive income was $556,000 and $583,000 for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in total comprehensive income resulted from a decrease in net income of $24,000 and a decrease in adjustments to other comprehensive income of $3,000 from a change in unrealized gains on investment securities available for sale.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major categories of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Information is provided for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with respect to (1) changes in volume, which is the change in volume multiplied by prior year rate, and (2) changes in rate, which is the change in rate multiplied by prior year volume. The combined effect of changes in both rate and volume has been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Management of Market Risk
General. Because the net present value of the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. We are vulnerable to an increase in interest rates to the extent that our interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than our interest-earning assets. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. The board of directors is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the board of directors.
We have emphasized the origination of fixed-rate mortgage loans in our portfolio in order to maximize our net interest income and control credit risk. We accept increased exposure to interest rate fluctuations as a result of our investment in such loans. In a period of rising interest rates, our net interest rate spread and net interest income may be negatively affected. In addition, we have sought to manage and mitigate our exposure to interest rate risks in the following ways:
• | We maintain relatively high levels of short-term liquid assets. At September 30, 2011, our short-term liquid assets totaled $6,189,000. |
42
Table of Contents
• | We lengthen the weighted average maturity of our liabilities through retail deposit pricing strategies and the use of Federal Home Loan Bank advances; |
• | We invest in shorter- to medium-term securities and in securities with step-up rate features providing for increased interest rates prior to maturity according to a predetermined schedule; and |
• | We maintain high levels of capital. |
In the future, we intend to take additional steps to reduce interest rate risk, including originating construction loans and lines of credit and selling a portion of the one-to four-family non-owner occupied investor loans we originate.
Net Portfolio Value. The OCC requires the computation of amounts by which the net present value of an institution’s cash flow from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items (the institution’s net portfolio value, or “NPV”) would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. The OCC provides all institutions that file a Maturity/Rate Schedule as a part of their quarterly Thrift Financial Report with an interest rate sensitivity report of net portfolio value. The OCC simulation model uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach to measure the interest rate sensitivity of net portfolio value. Historically, the OCC model estimated the economic value of each type of asset, liability and off-balance sheet contract under the assumption that the United States Treasury yield curve increases or decreases instantaneously by 100 to 300 basis points in 100 basis point increments. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals 1%. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column below. The OCC provides us the results of the interest rate sensitivity model, which is based on information we provide to the OCC to estimate the sensitivity of our net portfolio value.
Quantitative Analysis.The table below sets forth, as of September 30, 2011, the estimated changes in our NPV that would result from the designated instantaneous changes in the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

(1) | Assumes an instantaneous uniform change in interest rates at all maturities. |
(2) | NPV is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. |
(3) | Present value of assets represents the discounted present value of incoming cash flows on interest-earning assets. |
(4) | NPV Ratio represents NPV divided by the present value of assets. |
The table above indicates that at September 30, 2011, in the event of a 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 13.63% decrease in net portfolio value. In the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 2.26% increase in net portfolio value.
Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in determining interest rate risk through changes in net portfolio value. Modeling changes in net portfolio value require making certain assumptions that may or may not
43
Table of Contents
reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the net portfolio value tables presented assume that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assume that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the net portfolio value tables provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and maturities of securities. In addition, we have the ability to borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, and we have a credit availability with a correspondent bank. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
The board of directors is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of its customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We believe that it has enough sources of liquidity to satisfy our short and long-term liquidity needs as of September 30, 2011.
We regularly monitor and adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of: (1) expected loan demand; (2) expected deposit flows; (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term securities.
Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $6,189,000. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $6,168,000 at September 30, 2011.
At September 30, 2011, we had $341,000 in mortgage loan commitments outstanding. In addition, at that date, we had unfunded commitments under lines of credit, including letters of credit of $4,967,000. Certificates of deposit due within one year of September 30, 2011 totaled $23,767,000, or 46.65%, of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or borrowings than we currently pays on the certificates of deposit due on or before September 30, 2011. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
The Bank’s primary investing activity is loan origination. In the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Bank originated $8,857,000 and $13,261,000 in loans, respectively. During the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Bank purchased $2,389,000 and $6,029,000 of investment securities, respectively.
Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts. We experienced a net increase in total deposits of $976,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors, and by other factors.
We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At September 30, 2011, we exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and we were considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. See “Supervision and Regulation—Federal Banking Regulation—Capital Requirements” and Note 14 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We have the capacity to borrow up to $21,700,000 with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Our outstanding borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta at September 30, 2011 were $10,000,000. We also have a credit availability of $1,500,000 with a correspondent bank. There were no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2011, under this facility.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Commitments
As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. For additional information, see Note 14 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
Our financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). U.S. GAAP generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration of changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on performance than the effects of inflation.
Expense and Tax Allocation
Fairmount Bank entered into an agreement with Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. to provide it with certain administrative support services, whereby Fairmount Bank will be compensated at not less than the fair market value of the services provided. In addition, Fairmount Bank and Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. entered into an agreement to establish a method for allocating and for reimbursing the payment of their consolidated tax liability.
Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 to clarify existing disclosures, require new disclosures, and includes conforming amendments to guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” The new disclosure guidance will significantly expand the existing requirements and will lead to greater transparency into a company’s exposure to credit losses from lending arrangements. The extensive new disclosures of information as of the end of a reporting period will become effective for both interim and annual reporting periods ending at December 31, 2010. Specific items regarding activity that occurred before the issuance of the ASU, such as the allowance roll forward and modification disclosures, will be required for periods beginning after December 31, 2010. The Company has included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations”. The guidance requires pro forma disclosure for business combinations that occurred in the current period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting. If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma information should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU 2010-29 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts”. The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exits. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2011, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 114. This SAB revises or rescinds portions of the interpretive guidance included in the codification of the Staff Accounting Bulletin Series. This update is intended to make the relevant interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting guidance issued as a part of the FASB’s Codification. The principal changes involve revision or removal of accounting guidance references and other conforming changes to ensure consistency of referencing through the SAB Series. The effective date for SAB 114 is March 28, 2011. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is A Troubled Debt Restructuring”. The ASU provides additional guidance to creditors in determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The ASU also amends ASU 2010-20 to defer the disclosure of troubled debt restructurings to coincide with the effective date of this ASU. ASU 2011-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011 for public entities and interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2012 for nonpublic entities. The release will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) – Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” The amendments in this ASU remove from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” This ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and IASB to develop a single, converged fair value framework on how (not when) to measure fair value and what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements. The ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP (Topic 820), with many of the amendments made to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with prospective application. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The objective of this ASU is to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The single statement of comprehensive income should include the components of net income, a total for net income, the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present all the components of other comprehensive
46
Table of Contents
income, a total for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income. The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, the option for an entity to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects, or the calculation or reporting of earnings per share. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. The amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require transition disclosures. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
The SEC has issued Final Rule No. 33-9002, “Interactive data to Improve Financial Reporting”, which requires companies to submit financial statements in XBRL (extensible business reporting language) format with their SEC filings on a phased-in schedule. Large accelerated filers and foreign large accelerated filers using U.S. GAAP were required to provide interactive data reports starting with their first quarterly report for fiscal periods ending on or after June 15, 2010. All remaining filers are required to provide interactive data reports with their first quarterly report for fiscal periods ending on or after June 15, 2011. The release will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2011, the SEC issued Final rule No. 33-9250, “Technical Amendments to Commission Rules and Forms related to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.” The SEC has adopted technical amendments to various rules and forms under the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Investment Company Act of 1940. These revisions were necessary to conform those rules and forms to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The technical amendments include revision of certain rules in Regulation S-X, certain items in Regulation S-K, and various rules and forms prescribed under the Securities Act, Exchange Act and Investment Company Act. The Release was effective as of August 12, 2011. The adoption of the release did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangible-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)-Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” The amendments in this ASU permit an entity to first access qualitative factors related to goodwill to determine whether it is more likely that not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill test described in Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more that 50 percent. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-08 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Fairmount Bancorp, Inc.
Baltimore, Maryland
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (Fairmount Bank) as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended. Fairmount Bancorp, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Nature of Operations
Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated on November 30, 2009, to serve as the holding company for Fairmount Bank (the “Bank”), a federally chartered savings bank. On June 2, 2010, in accordance with a Plan of Conversion adopted by its Board of Directors and approved by its members, the Bank converted from a federal mutual savings bank to a federal stock savings bank and become the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The conversion was accomplished through the sale and issuance of 444,038 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, through which the Company received proceeds of approximately $3,742,000, net of offering expenses of approximately $699,000. Approximately 50% of the net proceeds of the offering, or $1,900,000, were contributed by the Company to the Bank in return for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Bank. In connection with the conversion, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted an employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”) which subscribed for 8% of the sum of the number of shares, or 35,523 shares of common stock sold in the offering.
In accordance with the Office of Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) regulations, upon the completion of the conversion, the Bank restricted retained earnings by establishing a liquidation account. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held. The Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.
Fairmount Bank is a community-oriented federal savings bank, which provides a variety of financial services to individuals and corporate customers through its home office in Baltimore County, Maryland, and is subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Bank’s primary deposit products are interest-bearing savings, certificates of deposit, and individual retirement accounts. The Bank’s primary lending products are single-family residential mortgage loans. The Bank is subject to the regulations of certain Federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. The accounting policies of the Bank conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the banking industry.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Fairmount Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions between the Company and the Bank have been eliminated.
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 losses on loans and leases and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowances for losses on loans and leases and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, certificates of deposit and federal funds sold.
Securities
Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.
Securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and are reported at amortized cost (including amortization of premium or accretion of discount).
Securities classified as available for sale are those securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as increases or decreases in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses, determined on the basis of the cost of the specific securities sold, are included in earnings. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using a method which approximates the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary, if any, are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (the “FHLB”) stock is an equity interest in the FHLB, which does not have a readily determinable fair value for purposes of Generally Accepted Accounting Standards related toAccounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,because its ownership is restricted and it lacks a market. FHLB stock can be sold back only at par value of $100 per share and only to the FHLB or another member institution. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company owned shares totaling $604,200 and $578,600, respectively.
The Company evaluates the FHLB stock for impairment in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s determination of whether this investment is impaired is based on an assessment of the ultimate recoverability of its cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline in value affects the ultimate recoverability of its cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and accordingly on the customer base of the FHLB.
Loans
Loans are generally carried at the amount of unpaid principal, less the allowance for loan losses and adjusted for deferred loan fees, which are amortized over the term of the loan using the interest method. Interest on loans is accrued based on the principal amounts outstanding. It is the Company’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when the principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is

remote. Cash collections on such loans are applied as reductions of the loan principal and no interest income is recognized on those loans until the principal balance has been collected. The carrying value of impaired loans is based on the present value of the loan’s expected future cash flows or, alternatively, the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. The loan may be returned to accrual status if unpaid principal and interest are paid so that the loan is brought current and performing according to the contractual terms of the loan.
When a loan is 15 days past due, the Company will send the borrower a late notice. The Company also contacts the borrower by phone if the delinquency is not corrected promptly after the notice has been sent. When the loan is 30 days past due, the Company will send the borrower a letter reminding the borrower of the delinquency, and attempts to contact the borrower personally to determine the reason for the delinquency in order to ensure that the borrower understands the terms of the loan and the importance of making payments on or before the due date. If necessary, subsequent delinquency notices are issued and the account will be monitored on a regular basis thereafter. By the 90th day of delinquency, the Company will send the borrower a final demand for payment and may recommend foreclosure. Loans are charged off when the Company believes that the recovery of principal is improbable. Loans are charged off when the Company believes that the recovery of principal is improbable. A summary report of all loans 30 days or more past due is provided to the board of directors of the Company each month.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses. The Company maintains the allowance at a level believed, to the best of management’s knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on no less than a quarterly basis in order to identify those inherent losses and to assess the overall collection probability for the loan portfolio. The evaluation process by portfolio segment includes, among other things, an analysis of delinquency trends, non-performing loan trends, the level of charge-offs and recoveries, prior loss experience, total loans outstanding, the volume of loan originations, the type, size and geographic concentration of the loans, the value of collateral securing the loan, the borrower’s ability to repay and repayment performance, the number of loans requiring heightened management oversight, local economic conditions and industry experience.
The establishment of the allowance for loan losses is significantly affected by management’s judgment and uncertainties, and there is a likelihood that different amounts would be reported under different conditions or assumptions. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews the allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to make additional provisions for estimated loan losses based upon judgments different from those of management.
The Company’s policies, consistent with regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans and other assets that are considered 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 assets characterized by the distinct possibility that we 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 (or portions of assets) classified as loss, are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that there continuance as assets is not warranted. Assets that do not expose us to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve close attention, are required to be designated as special mention.

Note 1. | Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
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. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis 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.
Loans may be periodically modified in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) to make concessions to help a borrower remain current on the loan and to avoid foreclosure. Generally, we do not forgive principal or interest on a loan or modify the interest rate on loans that are below market rates. When we modify loans in a TDR, we evaluate any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans. If we determine that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized through a specific allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance.
The allowance consists of specific, general, and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard, or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, a specific allowance is established for that portion of the loan that is deemed uncollectible. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. Determinations as to the classification of assets and the amount of loss allowances are subject to review by our principal federal regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which can require that we establish additional loss allowances. The Company regularly reviews its asset portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.
The Company maintains the allowance for loan and lease losses at a level considered adequate to provide for losses inherent in the loan portfolio. While the Company utilizes available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowances for loan and lease losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, particularly in its’ market area in the state of Maryland. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance for loan and lease losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.
Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance for loan and lease losses the Company has established, which could have a material negative effect on its financial statements.
Premises and Equipment
Land is carried at cost. Property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Foreclosed Real Estate
Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure is initially recorded at the lower of cost (principal balance of the former mortgage loan plus costs of obtaining title and possession) or fair value at the date of acquisition. Costs relating to development and improvement of property are capitalized, whereas costs relating to the holding of property are expensed.
Management periodically performs valuations, and an allowance for losses is established by a charge to operations if the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated net realizable value.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance in ASC Topic 740. 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 taxable income or loss. Deferred taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the tax basis and the financial basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the enacted rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of the changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. has entered into a tax sharing agreement with Fairmount Bank. The agreement provides that Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. will file a consolidated federal tax return, and that the tax liability shall be apportioned among the entities as would be computed if each entity had filed a separate return. According to Maryland tax law, Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. and Fairmount Bank file separate Maryland state tax returns.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of equity, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.
The Company has elected to report its comprehensive income (loss) in the statement of changes in equity. The only element of “other comprehensive income” is the unrealized gains or losses on available for sale securities.
The components of other comprehensive income (loss) and related tax effects at September 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:
2011 | 2010 | |||||||
Unrealized holding gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities | $ | 109,519 | $ | 107,644 | ||||
Amortization of unrealized loss on securities transferred to held-to-maturity | 529 | 6,017 | ||||||

Effective June 1, 2009, the Company transferred three securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity as the Company intends to hold those securities until they mature. The unrealized loss on the date of transfer was ($11,172), which will be amortized over the remaining life of the securities.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit. These loans involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the balance sheet. Such financial instruments are recorded in the statement of income when they are funded.

Note 1. | Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies for these instruments as it does for the on-balance sheet instruments.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, advertising expense was $10,098 and $9,790 respectively.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company has approximately $4,150,000 and $1,690,000, in deposits in other financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), as of September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The Company’s management considers this a normal business risk. The Company also maintains accounts with stock brokerage firms containing securities. These balances are insured up to $500,000 by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. The Company was required to maintain a $100,000 minimum balance in a deposit account with Maryland Financial as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, in relation to a sweep account.
Most of the Company’s activities are with customers in the Maryland counties of Baltimore and Harford and portions of the City of Baltimore. Notes 1, 4, and 5 discuss the types of activities and lending the Company engages in. The Bank does not have any significant concentrations in any one industry or customer.
Subsequent Events
The company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to September 30, 2011 through the date these financial statements were issued. Based on definitions and requirements of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for “Subsequent Events,” the Company has not identified any events, other than the Business Combination in Note 2, that would require adjustments to, or disclosure in the financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s method of presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on net income.
Note 2. | Business Combinations |
On October 12, 2011, the Company completed an acquisition of Fullerton Federal Savings Association (Fullerton), a federally chartered mutual savings association with one office located at 7527 Belair Road in Baltimore, Maryland. Fullerton converted from the mutual to the stock form of organization and immediately issued all of its capital stock to the Company and merged with and into the Bank. In connection with the merger, the Company issued 56,276 shares of its common stock at a price of $14.10 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $793,000, net of offering expenses to date of approximately $340,000.
The Company will record assets and liabilities as of October 12, 2011. These amounts will represent the carrying value of Fullerton’s assets and liabilities adjusted to reflect the fair value at the date of the acquisition. The discounts and premiums resulting from the fair value adjustments will be accreted and amortized on a level yield basis over the anticipated lives of the underlying financial assets or liabilities. This amortization of premiums and discounts are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations on future periods.
As of September 30, 2011, Fullerton had total assets of $8,525,000, total equity of $1,029,000, total net loans of $2,507,000 and total deposits of $7,474,000.

Note 2. | Business Combinations (Continued) |
Information about the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date are not available because an updated appraisal of Fullerton as of October 12, 2011 has not yet been received.
The excess fair value of assets acquired over liabilities assumed, less transaction costs incurred, will result in negative goodwill. This negative goodwill will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The primary purpose of the Fullerton acquisition was to expand the Company’s deposit market share and to provide additional capital to the Bank.

At September 30, 2010, the Company held one investment security having an unrealized loss position. The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Mortgage-backed securities are invested in U.S. Government Agencies which guarantee payments to investors regardless of the status of the underlying mortgages. Consideration is given to the length of time and the amount of an unrealized loss, the financial condition of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer long enough to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value. The Company monitors the financial condition of these issuers continuously and will record other-than-temporary impairment if the recovery of value is unlikely.
Market Risks
Investments of the Company are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, currency and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect investment assets reported in the financial statements. In addition, recent economic uncertainty and market events have led to unprecedented volatility in currency, commodity, credit and equity markets, culminating in failures of some banking and financial service firms and government intervention to solidify others. These recent events underscore the level of investment risk associated with the current economic environment, and accordingly, the level of risk in the Company’s investments.

The Company had a mobile home loan origination program that began in 2005 in which it is no longer participating. At September 30, 2011 and 2010, these loan balances totaled $2,429,452 and $2,684,489, respectively. Mobile home loans were purchased from by a third-party originator and funded by the Company at settlement. The Company paid a premium/loan origination fee to the third-party originator, of which one-half was wired upon settlement of the loan and the remainder was kept by the Company in a depository account in the name of the third-party. At September 30, 2011 and 2010, the balance in the account was $95,884 and $136,274, respectively, and can be accessed by the Company in the event of prepayment, foreclosure or deterioration of the value of the mobile home. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company has prepaid loan origination fees related to this program of $348,293 and $421,975, which are being amortized over the estimated lives of the loans.
In October 2004, the Company purchased a block of mortgage loans from another financial institution for $2,126,620, with an average yield of 6%. At September 30, 2011 and 2010, the loan balances were $671,643 and $772,684, respectively, and included in mortgage loans secured by one-to four family residences. In addition, the Company has unamortized loan premiums of $14,011 and $16,803 as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, being amortized over the terms of the purchased loans.
In May 2009, the Company purchased a block of one-to four-family mortgage loans totaling $1,109,768, with an average yield of 6.08%. There was no premium paid on the purchase. The balances of purchased loans at September 30, 2011 and 2010, are included in the breakdown of loans shown above.

Note 5. | Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Loan Losses |
Management segregates the loan portfolio into portfolio segments which is defined as the level at which the Company develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for loan losses. The portfolio segments are segregated based on loan types and the underlying risk factors present in each loan type. Such risk factors are periodically reviewed by management and revised as deemed appropriate. The Company’s loan portfolio is segregated into the following portfolio segments.
One-to Four-Family Owner Occupied Loans.This portfolio segment consists of the origination of first mortgage loans and home equity second mortgage loans secured by one-to four-family owner occupied residential properties located in our market area. The Company has experienced no foreclosures on its owner occupied loan portfolio during recent periods and believe this is due mainly to its conservative lending strategies including its non-participation in “interest only”, “Option ARM,” “sub-prime” or “Alt-A” loans.
One-to Four-Family Non-Owner Occupied Loans.This portfolio segment consists of the origination of first mortgage loans secured by one-to four-family non-owner occupied residential properties in its market area. A majority of these loans are sold on a participation basis to other community banks. Such lending involves additional risks, since the properties are not owner occupied, and the renters of these properties are less likely to be concerned with property upkeep.
Mobile Home Loans.This portfolio segment consists of mobile home loans that were purchased from a third-party originator and funded by us at settlement. Mobile home lending involves additional risks as a result of higher loan-to-value ratios usually associated with these types of loans. Mobile home loan customers have historically been more adversely impacted by weak economic conditions, consequently, mobile home loans bear a higher rate of interest, have a higher probability of default, and may involve higher delinquency rates. In addition, the values of mobile home loans decline over time and higher levels of inventories of repossessed and used mobile homes may affect the values of collateral and result in higher charge-offs and provisions for loan losses. The Company ceased originating these loans in September 2007, and no future originations of these types of loans are planned.

Note 5. | Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued) |
Secured by Other Properties.This portfolio segment includes loans secured by commercial real estate, including multi-family dwellings. Loans secured by commercial real estate generally have larger loan balances and more credit risk than one-to four-family mortgage loans. The increased risk is the result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the impact of local and general economic conditions on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans.
Construction and Land Development Loans.This portfolio segment includes construction loans to individuals and builders, primarily for the construction of residential properties and land loans, which are loans made with land as security. Construction and land development financing generally involves greater credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, the Company may be required to advance additional funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Moreover, if the estimated value of the completed project proves to be inaccurate, the borrower may hold a property with a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment. Construction loans also expose the Company to the risks that improvements will not be completed on time in accordance with specifications and projected costs and that repayment will depend on the successful operation or sale of the properties. In addition, many of these borrowers have more than one outstanding loan, so an adverse development with respect to one loan or credit relationship can expose the Company to significantly greater risk of non-payment and loss.
Commercial Business and Consumer Loans. This portfolio segment includes commercial business loans secured by assignments of corporate assets and personal guarantees of the business owners and consumer loans consisting solely of deposit account loans. Commercial business loans generally have higher interest rates and shorter terms than one- to four-family residential loans, but they also may involve higher average balances, increased difficulty of loan monitoring and a higher risk of default since their repayment generally depends on the successful operation of the borrower’s business.
Loans are generally carried at the amount of unpaid principal, less the allowance for loan losses and adjusted for deferred loan fees, which are amortized over the term of the loan using the interest method. Interest on loans is accrued based on the principal amounts outstanding. It is the Company’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when the principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Cash collections on such loans are applied as reductions of the loan principal and no interest income is recognized on those loans until the principal balance has been collected. The carrying value of impaired loans is based on the present value of the loan’s expected future cash flows or, alternatively, the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral.
As a financial services provider, the Company is routinely party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans made.
Management further disaggregates the loan portfolio segments into classes of loans, which are based on the initial measurement of the loan, risk characteristics of the loan and the method for monitoring and assessing the credit risk of the loan.

Note 5. | Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued) |
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses. The Company maintains the allowance at a level believed, to the best of management’s knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date.
Management reviews the allowance for loan losses on no less than a quarterly basis in order to identify those inherent losses and to assess the overall collection probability for the loan portfolio. The evaluation
process by portfolio segment includes, among other things, an analysis of delinquency trends, non-performing loan trends, the level of charge-offs and recoveries, prior loss experience, total loans outstanding, the volume of loan originations, the type, size and geographic concentration of the loans, the value of collateral securing the loan, the borrower’s ability to repay and repayment performance, the number of loans requiring heightened management oversight, local economic conditions and industry experience.
The establishment of the allowance for loan losses is significantly affected by management’s judgment and uncertainties, and there is a likelihood that different amounts would be reported under different conditions or assumptions. The Office of Thrift Supervision, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews the allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to make additional provisions for estimated loan losses based upon judgments different from those of management.
The allowance generally consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.
The Company will continue to monitor and modify its allowance for loan losses as conditions dictate. No assurances can be given that the level of allowance for loan losses will cover all of the inherent losses on the loans or that future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses will not be necessary if economic and other conditions differ substantially from the economic and other conditions used by management to determine the current level of the allowance for loan losses.
During December 2010, the Company repossessed a mobile home and $18,905, representing the outstanding principal balance, was charged against the depository account. During September 2010, the Company repossessed a mobile home and $44,423, representing the outstanding principal balance was charged against the depository account. The losses on these mobile home repossessions were not charged against the allowance for loan losses. The mobile home loan portfolio segment is evaluated on a quarterly basis to assess the overall collection probability for the mobile home loan portfolio and includes the same evaluation process that it is used for the loans included in the allowance for loan losses. The Company will continue to monitor the reserve account and modify its allowance for loan losses relative to mobile home loans.
The following tables set forth as of the end of each reporting period, the balance of the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment, disaggregated by impairment methodology, which is then further segregated by amounts evaluated for impairment collectively and individually. The allowance for loan losses allocated to each portfolio segment is not necessarily indicative of future losses in any particular portfolio segment and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in other portfolio segments.

Note 5. | Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued) |
The Company’s policies, consistent with regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans and other assets that are considered 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 assets characterized by the distinct possibility that we 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 (or portions of assets) classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that there continuance as assets is not warranted. Assets that do not expose us to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve close attention, are required to be designated as special mention.
When assets are classified as either substandard or doubtful, the Company allocates a portion of the related general loss allowances to such assets as the Company deems prudent. Determinations as to the classification of assets and the amount of loss allowances are subject to review by our principal federal regulator, as of July 21, 2011, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which can require that we establish additional loss allowances. The Company regularly reviews its asset portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.

When a loan is 15 days past due, the Company sends the borrower a late notice. The Company also contacts the borrower by phone if the delinquency is not corrected promptly after the notice has been sent. When the loan is 30 days past due, the Company mails the borrower a letter reminding the borrower of the delinquency, and attempt to contact the borrower personally to determine the reason for the delinquency in order to ensure that the borrower understands the terms of the loan and the importance of making payments on or before the due date. If necessary, subsequent delinquency notices are issued and the account will be monitored on a regular basis thereafter. By the 90th day of delinquency, the Company will send the borrower a final demand for payment and may recommend foreclosure. Loans are charged off when the Company believes that the recovery of principal is improbable. A summary report of all loans 30 days or more past due is provided to the board of directors of the Company each month.
Loans are automatically placed on non-accrual status when payment of principal or interest is more than 90 days delinquent. Loans are also placed on non-accrual status if collection of principal or interest in full is in doubt or if the loan has been restructured. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received. The loan may be returned to accrual status if unpaid principal and interest are repaid so that the loan is less than 90 days delinquent.

At September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, there were no loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest. At September 30, 2011, the Company had twenty-two loans on non-accrual status with foregone interest in the amount of $78,102. At September 30, 2010, the Company had two loans on non-accrual status with foregone interest in the amount of $14,810.
The Company accounts for impaired loans under generally accepted accounting principles. An impaired loan generally is one for which it is probable, based on current information, that the lender will not collect all the amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan. Loans are individually evaluated for impairment. When the Company classifies a problem asset as impaired, it provides a specific reserve for that portion of the asset that is deemed uncollectible, based on the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, or based on the loan’s observable market price or fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Loans may be periodically modified in a troubled debt restructuring to make concessions to help a borrower remain current on the loan and/or to avoid foreclosure. Generally we do not forgive principal or interest on a loan or modify the interest rate on loans that are below market rates. When we modify loans in a TDR, we evaluate any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans. If we determine that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized through a specific allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance. At September 30, 2011, we had two loans that were restructured. One loan was secured by other properties in the amount of $216,000 and one loan was secured by a mobile home in the amount of $51,313. At September 30, 2010, we had one loan secured by other properties in the amount of $769,985 that was restructured. The Company has no commitments to loan additional funds to borrowers whose loans have been modified.

The Company maintains $731,536 of its retained earnings as a reserve for loan losses for tax purposes. This amount has not been charged against earnings and is a restriction on retained earnings. If this balance in the reserve account is used for anything but losses on mortgage loans or payment of special assessment taxes, it will be subject to federal income taxes.
The Company follows the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which provides guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. No interest and penalties were recorded during the period ended September 30, 2011. Generally, the tax years before 2007 are no longer subject to examination by federal, state or local taxing authorities.
Note 11. | Defined Contribution Benefit Plan |
In July 2009, the Company established a 401(k) plan covering all full-time employees who have attained an age of 21 and have completed 12 months of service. The plan provides for the Company to make contributions which will match employee deferrals on a one-to-one basis up to 4% of an employee’s eligible compensation. Participants are 100% vested in their deferrals and employer matching contributions. Additional contributions can be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors based on the Company’s performance. Contributions for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $24,322 and $19,981, respectively.

Note 12. | Employee Stock Ownership Plan |
In connection with the conversion to stock form, the Bank established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan for the exclusive benefit of eligible employees. The ESOP borrowed funds from the Company in an amount of $355,230, which was sufficient to purchase 35,523 shares or 8% of the Common Stock issued in the offering. The shares were acquired at a price of $10.00 per share.
The loan is secured by the shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP over the 10-year term of the loan with funds from Fairmount Bank’s contributions to the ESOP and dividends paid on the stock, if any. The interest rate on the ESOP loan is an adjustable rate equal to the lowest prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal. The interest rate will adjust annually and will be the prime rate on the last business day of the fiscal year. The interest rate on the loan as of September 30, 2011, is 3.25%.
Shares purchased with the loan proceeds are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as the loan is repaid. Contributions to the ESOP and shares released from the suspense account are allocated among participants in proportion to their compensation, relative to total compensation of all active participants. Participants will vest their accrued benefits under the employee stock ownership plan at the rate of 20% per year. Vesting is accelerated upon retirement, death or disability of the participant, or a change in control of the Bank. Forfeitures will be reallocated to remaining plan participants. Benefits may be payable upon retirement, death, disability, separation of service, or termination of the ESOP.
The debt of the ESOP, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is eliminated in consolidation and the s hares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the consolidated balance sheet. Contributions to the ESOP shall be sufficient to pay principal and interest currently due under the loan agreement. As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the average market price of the shares for the respective period, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest. ESOP compensation expense for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, was $90,102 and $72,072, respectively.
A summary of ESOP shares at September 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:
2011 | 2010 | |||||||

Note 13. | Deferred Compensation Obligation |
In February 1985, the Company entered into a deferred compensation arrangement with its former president, with payments to him or his heirs to commence on the first day of the month coinciding with the date the president attained seventy-one years of age and continue for a minimum of 10 years. The former president, at his own discretion, decided to delay the start of this agreement until fiscal year 2004.
In June 2004, the Company accrued a deferred compensation obligation of $66,237, relating to this agreement, utilizing a 5% interest factor for present value calculations. This liability is intended to be ultimately funded by a $100,000 whole life insurance policy owned by the Company, insuring the former president. As of September 30, 2011, this policy had a $68,809 cash surrender value. Annual installments for the deferred compensation obligation are $8,578, which include interest of $1,168. As of September 30, 2011, the Bank had $15,950 remaining on this obligation to be paid over the remaining two years.

Note 14. | Regulatory Capital Requirements |
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by 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 Bank’s financial statements. The Bank must meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (as defined in the regulations) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets. Management believes, as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of September 30, 2011, the most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets, ratios. There have been no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.
The actual and required capital amounts and ratios of the Company and the Bank as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Note 15. | Fair Value Measurements |
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. GAAP clarifies the definition of fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1– Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market for the asset or liability, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement and based on the Bank’s own assumptions about market participants’ assumptions.
The following table presents a summary of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010:

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles concerning accounting for Loan and Lease Losses, a loss of $114,427 for the year ended September 30, 2011 and a loss $81,219 for the year ended September 30, 2010, were recognized as a charge to the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses at the time the foreclosed property was acquired based on an independent appraisal of the property’s fair value.
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values, including items in the above tables, are included in the disclosures that follow.
Cash and Cash Equivalents (Carried at Cost)
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value.
Securities Available for Sale (Carried at Fair Value)
Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities available for sale are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, securities available for sale are classified within level 2 and fair value values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2 would include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock (Carried at Cost)
The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.
Loans Receivable (Carried at Cost)
The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the statement of condition date that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.
Impaired Loans (Generally Carried at Fair Value)
Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. Impaired loans are measured at an observable market price (if available), or at fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). When the loan is dependent on collateral, fair value of collateral is determined by appraisal or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the related cost to sell. Impaired loans allocated to the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses are measured at the lower of cost or fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
Foreclosed Assets (Carried at Lower of Cost or Fair Value Less Estimated Selling Costs)
Foreclosed real estate is measured at fair value less cost to sell. The valuation of the fair value measurement follows GAAP. Foreclosed real estate is measured on a nonrecurring basis.

Note 15. | Fair Value Measurements (Continued) |
Deposit Liabilities (Carried at Cost)
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair value for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances (Carried at Cost)
Fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flows analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable (Carried at Cost)
The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.
Off Balance-Sheet Credit-Related Instruments (Disclosures at Cost)
Fair values for off balance-sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of these instruments is not material.
The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows:

Note 16. | Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk |
The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to originate loans. These loans involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the balance sheet.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies for these instruments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
The commitment to originate loans is an agreement to lend to a customer provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and may require the payment of a fee. The Company expects that a large majority of its commitments will be fulfilled subsequent to the balance sheet date and therefore, represent future cash requirements.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
Not applicable.
Item 9A (T). Controls and Procedures
(a) | Our management evaluated, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2011. Based on such evaluation, our President and 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. |
(b) | Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13s-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements prepared for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2011.
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 smaller reporting companies to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
(c) | No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. |
Not applicable.
