PART I

Item 1.     Business

General

Sunshine Financial, Inc. (“Sunshine Financial” or the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, is the holding company for its wholly owned subsidiary, Sunshine Savings Bank.  Sunshine Savings Bank was originally chartered as a credit union in 1952 as Sunshine State Credit Union to serve state government employees in the metropolitan Tallahassee area.  We expanded over the years to serve city, county, state and federal government employees as well as the employees of commercial and industrial companies, associations, contract employees serving these groups, and family members.  This expansion resulted in our evolution toward a community financial institution with a growing focus trending more toward real estate lending than the traditional credit union products.  On July 1, 2007, we converted from a state-chartered credit union known as Sunshine State Credit Union to a federal mutual savings bank known as Sunshine Savings Bank, and in 2009 reorganized into the mutual holding company structure.  On April 5, 2011, the Company completed a public offering as part of Sunshine Saving Bank’s conversion and reorganization from a mutual holding company to a public stock holding company structure (the “Conversion”).

References in this document to “we,” “us,” and “our” means Sunshine Financial or Sunshine Savings Bank, unless the context otherwise requires.

We currently operate out of six full-service offices serving the Tallahassee, Florida metropolitan area.  Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those funds in loans secured by first and second mortgages on one- to four-family residences (including residential construction loans), lot loans, commercial real estate loans and consumer loans.  We offer a wide variety of secured and unsecured consumer loan products, including home equity, direct automobile loans and credit card loans in our market area.  In addition, in conjunction with owner and non-owner occupied real estate loans we occasionally will originate commercial secured or unsecured loans.

We offer a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms, including savings accounts, money market deposit and term certificate accounts, business accounts, and demand accounts.  Our primary sources of funds are deposits and payments on loans.

The Company is regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) and Sunshine Savings Bank is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”).  Sunshine Savings Bank is also regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).  On July 10, 2015, the Company announced that Sunshine Savings Bank had submitted an application to the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (“FOFR”) to convert its charter from a federally-chartered savings bank to a Florida-chartered commercial bank, which it subsequently approved.  Completion of the conversion is subject to the receipt by Sunshine Financial, Inc., of approval from the Federal Reserve to form a bank holding company.  Upon completion of the conversion, which is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2016, the name of the bank will be changed to Sunshine Community Bank.

Upon completion of the conversion, the Bank's primary regulator will be the FOFR, with additional federal oversight provided by the FDIC.  The Federal Reserve will continue to be the primary banking regulator for Sunshine Financial.  The conversion to a state charter will not affect the Bank’s customers in any way.  Depositors will continue to have the full protection of FDIC insurance.

Market Area

We consider our primary market area to be the Tallahassee, Florida metropolitan area.  We are headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida and have six retail offices as of December 31, 2015.  Each of our offices is located within Leon County, Florida.  Based on the most recent branch deposit data provided by the FDIC our share of deposits in that market was approximately 2.5%.  This data does not include deposits held by credit unions with which we also compete. See “- Competition.”

Tallahassee is the state capital and home to Florida State University, Florida A&M and Tallahassee Community College and is significantly impacted by government services and education activities.  Our primary market area includes a diverse population of management, professional and sales personnel, office employees, manufacturing and transportation workers, service industry workers and government employees, as well as retired and self-employed individuals.  The population has a skilled work force with a wide range of education levels and ethnic backgrounds.  Major employment sectors are government; education, health and social services; retail trades; professional & business services; leisure & hospitality services; and financial services.

Leon County’s unemployment rate as of December 2015 was 4.4%, while the State of Florida rate was 5.4% and the United States rate was 5.0% for the same time period, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.  According to RealtyTrac, the foreclosure rate of .07 % in Leon County has been steadily decreasing and is below the .13% foreclosure rate for the State of Florida at December 31, 2015, which has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the nation.  As of December 31, 2015, the United States foreclosure rate was .07%.  The median home price in Tallahassee was $153,900 as compared to the Florida median home price of $183,500 and the United States median home price of $213,800 at December 31, 2015.

Population growth in Leon County and the city of Tallahassee is projected to exceed population growth for the country and state as a whole.  Per capita and average household income levels for Florida, Leon County and the city of Tallahassee generally fall below the United States levels.  Demographic data for Leon County and Tallahassee are skewed by the large student population that resides in the area.  Approximately 47% of the population of Tallahassee falls in the 15-34 year old age group, as compared to 40% for Leon County, 25% for the state of Florida and 27% for the United States, due to the large number of college students who reside in the area.  The total number of households has increased since 2010 in Leon County and in Tallahassee, similar to the State of Florida.  Total households in Leon County and Tallahassee are projected to continue this expansion at a more rapid pace over the next five years than state and national growth.

Our lending policies and loan approval limits are recommended by senior management and approved by the Board of Directors.  Unsecured loans of $50,000 and secured loans of $150,000 and below meeting our underwriting guidelines can be approved by individual loan officers, although secured loans up to $750,000 may be approved by our Chief Executive Officer.  Our Management loan committee, consisting of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, reviews all other loans and all loan modifications.  Loan committee meetings require a quorum of two members of the committee.  Loans submitted to the loan committee require approval of a majority of the members voting.  Loans and total loan relationships exceeding $1.0 million must be approved by the Directors loan committee and loans and total loan relationships exceeding $2.0 million must be approved by the Board of Directors.  All closed loans are presented to the Board for ratification on a monthly basis.

At December 31, 2015, the maximum amount under federal law that we could lend to any one borrower and the borrower’s related entities was approximately $4.7 million.Our five largest lending relationships totaled $19.6 million in the aggregate, or 17% of our gross loan portfolio, at December 31, 2015.  The largest relationship consists of eight loans totaling $4.7 million secured primarily by 7 non-owner occupied commercial buildings.  The next four largest lending relationships at December 31, 2015, range from $3.4 million to $4.0 million and are also primarily secured by non-owner occupied commercial real estate.  All of these loans were performing in accordance with their repayment terms at December 31, 2015.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. We began originating commercial real estate loans in 2012, primarily owner occupied loans.  We are targeting  small and mid-size owner occupants and investors with prime credit for commercial real estate loans between $500,000 and $2.0 million with a three, five, or seven year balloon payment and 20 year amortization term. We offer both fixed and adjustable-rate loans on commercial real estate loans, although all of the loans we recently originated were at a fixed interest rate with an amortization term of 20 years and maturity of up to 7 years.  Commercial real estate loans are generally underwritten with loan-to-value ratios of up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or the purchase price of the property. We require appraisals of all properties securing commercial real estate loans. Appraisals are performed by independent appraisers designated by us. We generally require a minimum pro forma debt coverage ratio of 1.25 times for loans secured by commercial real estate properties. We also generally require and obtain loan guarantees from financially capable parties based upon the review of personal financial statements. If the borrower is a corporation, we generally require and obtain personal guarantees from the corporate principals based upon a review of their personal financial statements and individual credit reports.  At December 31, 2015, we had $43.4 million of commercial real estate loans, representing approximately 38.0% of the total loan portfolio, consisting of loans secured by retail, office, warehouse, mini-storage facilities and other improved commercial properties, compared to $29.8 million, or 28.5% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2014. The largest commercial real estate relationship at December 31, 2015 included eight loans totaling $4.7 million and was performing in accordance with its repayment terms.  The average size of our commercial real estate loans was approximately $576,000 at December 31, 2015.

Commercial real estate loans typically involve higher principal amounts than other types of loans, and repayment is dependent upon income generated, or expected to be generated, by the property securing the loan or business occupying the property in amounts sufficient to cover operating expenses and debt service, which may be adversely affected by changes in the economy or local market conditions. Commercial real estate mortgage loans also expose a lender to greater credit risk than loans secured by residential real estate because the collateral securing these loans typically cannot be sold as easily as residential real estate. In addition, to date, all of our commercial real estate loans are amortized over 15 to

8

20 years and contain large balloon payments upon maturity. Such balloon payments may require the borrower to either sell or refinance the underlying property in order to make the payment, which may increase the risk of default or non-payment. If we foreclose on a commercial real estate loan, our holding period for the collateral typically is longer than for one-to-four family residential mortgage loans because there are fewer potential purchasers of the collateral. Accordingly, if we make any errors in judgment in the collectability of our commercial real estate loans, any resulting charge-offs may be larger on a per loan basis than those incurred with our residential or consumer loan portfolios.

One- to Four-Family Real Estate, Construction and Lot Loans.  We originate loans secured by first mortgages on one- to four-family residences primarily in our market area.  We originate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans primarily through referrals from real estate agents, builders and from existing customers.  Walk-in customers are also important sources of loan originations.

We generally originate mortgage loans in amounts up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of a mortgaged property, but will also permit loan-to-value ratios of up to 95%.  For loans exceeding an 80% loan-to-value ratio, we generally require the borrower to obtain private mortgage insurance covering us for any loss on the amount of the loan in excess of 80% in the event of foreclosure.  The majority of our one- to four-family residential loans are originated with fixed rates and have terms of ten to 30 years.  We also originate adjustable-rate mortgage, or ARM, loans which have interest rates that adjust annually to the yield on U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant one-year maturity plus a margin.  Most of our ARM loans are hybrid loans, which after an initial fixed rate period of one, five or seven years will convert to an adjustable interest rate for the remaining term of the loan.  Our ARM loans have terms up to 30 years.  Our pricing strategy for mortgage loans includes setting interest rates that are competitive with other local financial institutions and consistent with our asset/liability management objectives.  Our ARM loans generally have a cap of two percentage points on rate adjustments during any one year and nine percentage points over the life of the loan.  As a consequence of using caps, the interest rates on these loans may not be as rate sensitive as is our cost of funds.

ARM loans generally pose different credit risks than fixed-rate loans, primarily because as interest rates rise, the borrower’s payment rises, increasing the potential for default.  Due to historically low long term fixed interest rates, we have originated only $292,000 in ARM loans in the past three years and total ARM loans represent only 4.1% of our total mortgage loan portfolio.  As of December 31, 2015, one-to four-family mortgage loans delinquent over 60 days represented 3.81% compared to 3.74% of that portfolio as of December 31, 2014.  See “- Asset Quality -- Nonperforming Assets” and “-- Classified Assets.”

Most of our loans are written using generally accepted underwriting guidelines, and are readily saleable to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, or other private investors.  Our real estate loans generally contain a “due on sale” clause allowing us to declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon the sale of the security property.  At December 31, 2015, one- to four-family residential loans totaled $46.3 million or 40.5% of our gross loan portfolio. The average size of our one- to four-family residential loans was approximately $109,000 at December 31, 2015.

 Beginning in 2008 we began originating lot loans, which are loans secured by developed lots in residential subdivisions located in our market area. We originate these loans to individuals intending to construct their primary residence on the lot.  We will generally originate construction loans in an amount up to 75% of the lower of the purchase price or appraisal, although we will also permit loan-to-value ratios of up to 95%.  For loans exceeding a 75% loan-to-value ratio we generally require the borrower to obtain private mortgage insurance covering us for any loss on the amount of the loan in excess of 75% in the event of foreclosure.  Lot loans are secured by a first lien on the property, have a fixed or variable rate of interest with a maximum amortization of 20 years.  At December 31, 2015, lot loans totaled $3.6

9

million or 3.2% of our gross loan portfolio and the average loan size in our lot loan portfolio was approximately $38,400.

Property appraisals on real estate securing our one- to four-family and lot loans are made by state certified independent appraisers approved by the board of directors.  Appraisals are performed in accordance with applicable regulations and policies.  We generally require title insurance policies on all first mortgage real estate loans originated, but may also originate loans that will be retained for our portfolio with an attorney’s opinion in lieu of title insurance.  Homeowners, liability, fire and, if required, flood insurance policies are also required for one- to four-family loans.We also originate a limited amount of construction loans for single family houses to individuals for construction of their primary residence in our market area.  We will generally originate construction loans in an amount up to 80% for a one- to four-family residential construction loan.  Our construction loans generally have terms up to 12 months and provide for monthly payments of interest only until maturity.  We typically originate construction loans to individuals as construction to permanent loans and on completion of construction the loan is automatically converted to permanent, but do not require take-out financing prior to origination.

Construction and lot loan lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term permanent financing of residential properties.  If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, we may be compelled to advance additional funds to complete the construction with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the ultimate project rather than the ability of a borrower or guarantor to repay the loan.  If we are forced to foreclose on a project prior to completion, there is no assurance that we will be able to recover the entire unpaid portion of the loan.  In addition, we may be required to fund additional amounts to complete a project and may have to hold the property for an indeterminate period of time. Lot loans also pose additional risk because of the lack of income being produced by the property and the potential illiquid nature of the collateral.  The value of the lots securing our loans may be affected by the success of the development in which they are located.

Consumer Lending.  We offer a variety of secured consumer loans, including home equity, new and used automobile, boat and other recreational vehicle loans, and loans secured by savings deposits.  We also offer unsecured consumer loans including a credit card product.  We originate our consumer loans primarily in our market area.

Our home equity loans, consisting of fixed-rate loans and variable-rate lines of credit, have been the largest component of our consumer loan portfolio over the past several years.  At December 31, 2015, home equity lines of credit totaled $6.1 million and home equity loans totaled $1.5 million, or collectively 41.5% of our consumer loan portfolio and 6.7% of our gross loan portfolio.The lines of credit may be originated in amounts, together with the amount of the existing first mortgage, of up to 95% of the value of the property securing the loan (less any prior mortgage loans) provided that the borrower obtain private mortgage insurance covering us for any loss on the amount of the loan in excess of 80% in the event of foreclosure.  Home equity lines of credit are originated with an adjustable-rate of interest, based on prime rate plus a margin.  Home equity lines of credit generally have up to a ten-year draw period and amounts may be re-borrowed after payment at any time during the draw period.  At December 31, 2015, unfunded commitments on these lines of credit totaled $2.9 million.

Our fixed-rate home equity loans are originated in amounts, together with the amount of the existing first mortgage, of up to 100% of the appraised value of the subject property for home equity loans (less any prior mortgage loans) provided that the borrower obtain private mortgage insurance covering us for any loss on the amount of the loan in excess of 80% in the event of foreclosure.  These loans may have terms for up to 20 years and are fully amortizing.

10

Collateral value is determined through existing appraisals, new appraisals or evaluations by the loan department.  On second mortgages, we do not require title insurance but do require homeowner, liability, fire and, if required, flood insurance policies.

We make loans on new and used automobiles.  We currently originate automobile loans on a direct basis. Our automobile loan portfolio totaled $3.3 million at December 31, 2015, or 18.1% of our consumer loan portfolio and 2.9% of our gross loan portfolio. Automobile loans may be written for a term of up to six years for both new and used cars with fixed rates of interest.  Loan-to-value ratios are up to 125% of the lesser of the MSRP or the National Automobile Dealers Association value for auto loans, plus the price of extended warranty insurance.  We follow our internal underwriting guidelines in evaluating automobile loans, including credit scoring.

Our consumer loans also include loans secured by new and used boats and recreational vehicles, deposits and unsecured credit card and other consumer loans, all of which, at December 31, 2015, totaled $7.4 million, or 6.5% of our gross loan portfolio.  Loans secured by boats and recreational vehicles typically have terms up to twenty years, and loan-to-value ratios up to 90%.  They are made with fixed and adjustable rates.  Our unsecured consumer loans have either a fixed rate of interest generally for a maximum term of 60 months, or are revolving lines of credit of generally up to $50,000.  At December 31, 2015, unfunded commitments on our unsecured lines of credit and credit cards totaled $12.4 million, and the average outstanding balance on these lines was approximately $2,200.

Consumer loans generally have shorter terms to maturity, which reduces our exposure to changes in interest rates.  In addition, management believes that offering consumer loan products helps to expand and create stronger ties to our existing customer base by increasing the number of customer relationships and providing cross-marketing opportunities.

Our underwriting standards for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s credit history and an assessment of the applicant’s ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan.  The stability of the applicant’s monthly income may be determined by verification of gross monthly income from primary employment, and additionally from any verifiable secondary income.

Consumer and other loans generally entail greater risk than do one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as manufactured homes, automobiles, boats and other recreational vehicles.  In these cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance.  As a result, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability and, thus, are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.

Loan Originations, Purchases, Sales, Repayments and Servicing

We originate both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans.  Our ability to originate loans, however, is dependent upon customer demand for loans in our market area.  Demand is affected by competition and the interest rate environment.  During the past few years, we, like many other financial institutions, have experienced significant prepayments on loans due to the low interest rate environment prevailing in the United States.  In periods of economic uncertainty, the ability of financial institutions, including us, to originate large dollar volumes of real estate loans may be substantially reduced or restricted, with a resultant decrease in interest income.  We have not purchased loans or loan participations recently, but we may do so in the future.   We also originate single family mortgage loans for sale to Freddie Mac and third party investors with servicing retainedwithout recourse, subject to a provision for repurchase upon breach of representation, warranty or covenant.  The sale of mortgage loans provides a source of non-

11

interest income through the gain on sale, reduces our interest rate risk, and provides a stream of servicing income.  For the year ending December 31, 2015, loan sales totaled $6.1 million.  Our loan servicing portfolio as of December 31, 2015 consisted of 244 loans totaling $33.9 million.

In addition to interest earned on loans and loan origination fees, we receive fees for loan commitments, late payments and other miscellaneous services.  The fees vary from time to time, generally depending on the supply of funds and other competitive conditions in the market.

The following table shows our loan origination, purchase, sale and repayment activities for the periods indicated.

Asset Quality

Loan Delinquencies and Collection Procedures.  The borrower is notified by both mail and telephone when a loan is four to nine days past due.  If the delinquency continues, subsequent efforts are made to contact the delinquent borrower and additional collection notices and letters are sent.  When a loan is 90 days delinquent, we commence repossession or a foreclosure action.  Reasonable attempts are made to collect from borrowers prior to referral to an attorney for collection.  In certain instances, we may modify the loan or grant a limited moratorium on loan payments to enable the borrower to reorganize their financial affairs, and we attempt to work with the borrower to establish a repayment schedule to cure the delinquency.  At December 31, 2015, twenty loans totaling $2.4 million were classified as troubled debt restructurings as a result of having their repayment term extended and/or their interest rate temporarily lowered.

As to mortgage loans, if a foreclosure action is taken and the loan is not reinstated, paid in full or refinanced, the property is sold at judicial sale at which we may be the buyer if there are no adequate offers to satisfy the debt.  Any property acquired as the result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is carried as foreclosed real estate and held for sale at fair value less estimated selling costs.  The initial write-down of the property is charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Adjustments to the carrying value of the properties that result from subsequent declines in value are charged to operations in the period in which the declines occur.

Loans are reviewed on a regular basis and are placed automatically on non-accrual status when they are 90 days or more delinquent.  Loans may also be placed on a non-accrual status at any time if, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is doubtful.  Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status is charged against interest income.  Subsequent payments are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on the assessment of the ultimate collectability of the loan.  At December 31, 2015, we had approximately $1.8 million of loans that were held on a non-accrual basis. These loans were considered when calculating the allowance for loan losses.  As of December 31, 2015, we had $203,000 in loans that were less than 90 days past due, but were on nonaccrual status. Our procedures for repossession and sale of consumer collateral are subject to various requirements under the applicable consumer protection laws as well as other applicable laws and the determination by us that it would be beneficial from a cost basis.  At December 31, 2015, we had $433,000 in foreclosed real estate.

The following table sets forth our loan delinquencies by type, by amount and by percentage of type at December 31, 2015.

Nonperforming Assets.The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of nonperforming assets in our loan portfolio.  Loans are placed on non-accrual status when the loan becomes over 90 days delinquent and the collection of principal and/or interest become doubtful.  We had $2.9 million and $3.6 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, in troubled debt restructurings (which involve forgiving a portion of interest or principal on any loans or making loans at a rate materially less than that of market rates), of which $227,000 and $209,000 were in nonaccrual status, respectively.  We had $7,000 in accruing loans 90 days or more delinquent as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

(2)Includes other assets.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, gross interest income which would have been recorded had all nonaccruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to approximately $140,000, $137,000 of which was included in interest income based on cash received.

Other Loans of Concern.  In addition to the nonperforming assets set forth in the table above, as of December 31, 2015, there were 21 loans totaling $3.1 million with respect to which known information about the possible credit problems of the borrowers have caused management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such items in the nonperforming asset categories.These loans have been considered in management's determination of our allowance for loan losses.

14

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

When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management.  General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets.  When an insured institution classifies problem assets as “loss,” it is required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge off such amount.  An institution's determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by our bank regulators, which may order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.Assets which do not currently expose us to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but require additional management oversight or possess minor credit weakness are designated by us as “special mention.”  We regularly review the problem assets in our portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.  On the basis of management's review of our assets, at December 31, 2015, we had classified $4.4 million of our loans as substandard, none as doubtful and none as loss, of which $1.7 million was included in non-accruing loans.This total amount of classified loans represented 22.8% of our equity capital plus allowance for loan losses and 2.8% of our assets at December 31, 2015. We also had classified $464,000 of our loans as special mention.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses is a valuation account that reflects our estimation of the losses in our loan portfolio to the extent they are reasonable to estimate.  The allowance is maintained through provisions for loan losses that are charged to operations in the period they are established.  We charge losses on loans against the allowance for loan losses when we believe the collection of loan principal is unlikely.  Recoveries on loans previously charged off are added back to the allowance.

At December 31, 2015, our allowance for loan losses was $895,000, or 0.78% of our total loan portfolio and 50.7% of total nonperforming loans. This estimation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates and assumptions that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available or as future events change.  The level of allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from these estimates.  Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate, small commercial real estate, home equity and consumer loans, are evaluated in the aggregate using historical loss factors adjusted for current economic conditions.  Assessing the allowance for loan losses is inherently subjective as it requires making material estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be received.  In the opinion of management, the allowance, when taken as a whole, reflects estimated loan losses in our loan portfolio.

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

15

collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for residential mortgage loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary if economic and other conditions in the future differ substantially from the current operating environment.  In addition, the OCC as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews our loan and foreclosed assets portfolios and the related allowance for loan losses and valuation allowance for foreclosed assets.  The OCC may require the allowance for loan losses or the valuation allowance for foreclosed assets to be increased based on its review of information available at the time of the examination, which would negatively affect our earnings.

Investment Activities

Federal savings banks have the authority to invest in various types of liquid assets, including United States Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies, including callable agency securities, certain certificates of deposit of insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers' acceptances, repurchase agreements and federal funds.  Subject to various restrictions, federal savings banks may also invest their assets in investment grade commercial paper and corporate debt securities and mutual funds whose assets conform to the investments that the institution is otherwise authorized to make directly.  See “How We Are Regulated - Sunshine Savings Bank -- Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Regulation” for a discussion of additional restrictions on our investment activities.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have the basic responsibility for the management of our investment portfolio, subject to the direction and guidance of the Board of Directors.  These officers consider various factors when making decisions, including the marketability, maturity and tax consequences of the proposed investment.  The maturity structure of investments will be affected by various market conditions, including the current and anticipated slope of the yield curve, the level of interest rates, the trend of new deposit inflows, and the anticipated demand for funds via deposit withdrawals and loan originations and purchases.

We may utilize our borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) Atlanta to purchase investment grade securities to leverage our balance sheet and increase our net interest income.  The general objectives of our investment portfolio will be to provide liquidity when loan demand is high, to assist in maintaining earnings when loan demand is low and to maximize earnings while satisfactorily

18

managing risk, including credit risk, reinvestment risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.  Our investment quality will emphasize safer expected average life short term investments with the yield on those investments secondary to not taking unnecessary risk with the available funds of Sunshine Savings Bank.  See “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Asset/Liability Management.”

We do not currently participate in hedging programs, interest rate caps, floors or swaps, or other activities involving the use of off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments and have no present intention to do so.  Further, we do not invest in securities which are not rated investment grade.

The following table sets forth the composition of our securities portfolio and other investments at the dates indicated.  All securities at the dates indicated have been classified as held to maturity.  At December 31, 2015, our securities portfolio did not contain securities of any issuer with an aggregate book value in excess of 10% of our equity capital, excluding those issued by the United States Government or its agencies or United States government sponsored entities.

Sources of Funds

General.  Our sources of funds are primarily deposits, borrowings, payments of principal and interest on loans and funds provided from operations.

Deposits.  Our current deposit products include checking, savings, individual retirement savings accounts, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit accounts ranging in terms from seven months to 60 months, and individual retirement certificate of deposit accounts with terms starting at 12 months. Deposit account terms vary, primarily as to the required minimum balance amount, the amount of time that the funds must remain on deposit and the applicable interest rate.  We solicit deposits primarily in our market area.  At December 31, 2015, we had no brokered, Internet or wholesale deposits.  We primarily rely on competitive pricing policies, marketing and customer service to attract and retain these deposits.  As of December 31, 2015, core deposits, which we define as our non-certificate or non-time deposit accounts, represented approximately 81.6% of total deposits.

The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market and prevailing interest rates and competition.  The variety of deposit accounts we offer has allowed us to be competitive in obtaining funds and to respond with flexibility to changes in consumer demand.  We have become more susceptible to short-term fluctuations in deposit flows as customers have become more interest rate conscious.  We try to manage the pricing of our deposits in keeping with our asset/liability management, liquidity and profitability objectives, subject to competitive factors.  Based on our experience, we believe that our deposits are relatively stable sources of funds.  Despite this stability, our ability to attract and maintain these deposits and the rates paid on them has been and will continue to be significantly affected by market conditions.

Certificates of deposit represent 18.4% of our deposits at December 31, 2015.  Our liquidity could be reduced if a significant amount of certificates of deposit, maturing within a short period of time, were not renewed.  Historically, a significant portion of the certificates of deposit remain with us after they mature and we believe that this will continue.  However, the need to retain these time deposits could result in an increase in our cost of funds.

The following table sets forth our deposit flows during the periods indicated.

We are a member of and may obtain advances from the FHLB of Atlanta, which is part of the Federal Home Loan Bank System.  The twelve regional Federal Home Loan Bank’s provide a central credit facility for their member institutions.  These advances may be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate, range of maturities and call features.  At December 31, 2015, The Company had an unsecured federal funds line of credit for $2.5 million with a correspondent bank and a $15.2 million line with the FHLB collateralized by a blanket lien on qualifying loans.  At that date the Company had $5.0 million outstanding in FHLB advances that mature in 2016 at a weighted average fixed rate of 0.39% and no outstanding balance on thefederal funds line of credit.  We may rely in part on long-term FHLB advances to fund asset and loan growth.  We are required to own stock in the FHLB of Atlanta based on the amount of our advances and total assets.  At December 31, 2015, we had $348,000 in that FHLB stock.

Subsidiary and Other Activities

As a federally chartered savings bank, Sunshine Savings Bank is permitted by OCC regulations to invest up to 2% of our assets, or $3.1million at December 31, 2015, in the stock of, or loans to, service corporation subsidiaries.  We may invest an additional 1% of our assets in service corporations where such additional funds are used for inner-city or community development purposes.  Sunshine Savings Bank has one subsidiary, Sunshine Member Insurance Services, Inc. (“SMSI”), which was established to sell automobile warranty and credit life and disability insurance products associated with loan products.  Our investment in SMSI as of December 31, 2015 was $100.

Competition

We face strong competition in attracting deposits.  Competition in originating real estate loans comes primarily from other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions, life insurance companies and mortgage bankers.  Other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions and finance companies provide vigorous competition in consumer lending.  Commercial business competition is primarily from local commercial banks.  We compete because we believe we consistently deliver high-quality, personal service to our customers that result in a high level of customer satisfaction.

Our market area has a high concentration of financial institutions, many of which are branches of large money center and regional banks that have resulted from the consolidation of the banking industry in Florida and other eastern states.  These include large national lenders and others in our market area that have greater resources than we do and offer services that we do not provide.  For example, we do not offer trust services and do not actively seek out multifamily loans.  Customers who seek “one-stop shopping” may be drawn to institutions that offer services that we do not.

22

We attract our deposits through our branch office system.  Competition for those deposits is principally from other savings institutions, commercial banks and credit unions located in the same community, as well as mutual funds and other alternative investments.  We compete for these deposits by offering superior service and a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates.  Based on the most recent branch deposit data provided by the FDIC, Sunshine Savings Bank's share of deposits in the Tallahassee, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area was approximately 2.5%.

How We Are Regulated

General. Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws and regulations that are applicable to Sunshine Financial and Sunshine Savings Bank. The description of these laws and regulations, as well as descriptions of laws and regulations contained elsewhere herein, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations. Legislation is introduced from time to time in the United States Congress that may affect the operations of Sunshine Financial and Sunshine Savings Bank.  In addition, the regulations governing us may be amended from time to time.  Any such legislation or regulatory changes in the future could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

The OCC has extensive enforcement authority over all federal savings associations, including Sunshine Savings Bank, and the Federal Reserve has enforcement authority over their holding companies, including Sunshine Financial.  This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil monetary penalties, to issue cease-and-desist or removal orders, and to initiate injunctive actions.  In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices.  Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with the OCC or Federal Reserve.  Except under certain circumstances, public disclosure of final enforcement actions by the OCC or the Federal Reserve is required by law.

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law.  This law significantly changed the bank regulatory structure and affected the lending, deposit, investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies.  This law also established the Consumer Protection Bureau (“CFPB”).  The following discussion summarizes significant aspects of the Dodd Frank Act that may affect Sunshine Savings Bank and Sunshine Financial.  The following aspects of the Dodd Frank Act are related to the operations of Sunshine Savings Bank:

· The CFPB is empowered to exercise broad regulatory, supervisory and enforcement authority with respect to both new and existing consumer financial protection laws. Smaller financial institutions, like Sunshine Savings Bank, are subject to supervision and enforcement by their primary federal banking regulator with respect to federal consumer financial protection laws.

· The Federal Deposit Insurance Act directs federal regulators to require depository institution holding companies to serve as a source of strength for their depository institution subsidiaries.

· Tier 1 capital treatment for "hybrid" capital items like trust preferred securities is eliminated subject to various grandfathering and transition rules.

· The prohibition on payment of interest on demand deposits was repealed.

23

· State consumer financial protection law will be preempted only if it would have a discriminatory effect on a federal savings association or is preempted by any other federal law. The OCC must make a preemption determination with respect to a state consumer financial protection law on a case-by-case basis with respect to a particular state law or other state law with substantively equivalent terms.

· Deposit insurance was permanently increased to $250,000.

· The deposit insurance assessment base for FDIC insurance is the depository institution's total average assets minus the sum of its average tangible equity during the assessment period.

· The minimum reserve ratio of the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) increased to 1.35 percent of estimated annual insured deposits; however, the FDIC is directed to offset the effect of the increased reserve ratio on insured depository institutions with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion.

Sunshine Savings Bank.  Sunshine Savings Bank, as a federally chartered savings bank, is subject to regulation and oversight by the OCC extending to all aspects of its operations. This regulation of Sunshine Savings Bank is intended for the protection of depositors and not for the purpose of protecting shareholders. Sunshine Savings Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital and is subject to some limitations on the payment of dividends to Sunshine Financial See "- Capital Requirements for Sunshine Savings Bank" and "-Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions." Sunshine Savings Bank also is subject to regulation and examination by the FDIC, which insures the deposits of Sunshine Savings Bank to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The investment and lending authority of Sunshine Savings Bank is prescribed by federal laws and regulations and Sunshine Savings Bank is prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws and regulations.

As a federally chartered savings bank, Sunshine Savings Bank is required to meet a qualified thrift lender (“QTL”) test. This test requires Sunshine Savings Bank to have at least 65% of its portfolio assets, as defined by statute, in qualified thrift investments on a monthly average for nine out of every 12 months on a rolling basis. As an alternative, Sunshine Savings Bank may maintain 60% of its assets in those assets specified in Section 7701(a) (19) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under either test, Sunshine Savings Bank is required to maintain a significant portion of its assets in residential-housing-related loans and investments. Any institution that fails to meet the QTL test must become subject to certain restrictions on its operations and limit its dividends to amounts approved by the OCC and the Federal Reserve that are necessary to meet obligations of a company that controls the institution and would be permissible for a national bank, unless it meets the test as specified, and thereafter remains a qualified thrift lender. An institution that fails the test a second time must be subjected to the restrictions and is subject to enforcement action.  Any holding company of an institution that fails the test and does not re-qualify within a year must register, and become subject to the same requirements, as a bank holding company. If such an institution has not converted to a bank within three years after it failed the test, it must divest all investments and cease all activities not permissible for both a national bank and a savings association.  As of December 31, 2015, Sunshine Savings Bank met the QTL test.

Sunshine Savings Bank is subject to a 35% of total assets limit on consumer loans, commercial paper and corporate debt securities, and a 20% limit on commercial non-mortgage loans. At December 31, 2015, Sunshine Savings Bank had 16.0% of its assets in consumer loans, commercial paper and corporate debt securities and 1.0% assets in commercial non-mortgage loans.

24

Sunshine Savings Bank’s relationship with its depositors and borrowers is regulated to a great extent by federal laws and regulations, especially in such matters as the ownership of savings accounts and the form and content of our mortgage requirements. In addition, the branching authority of Sunshine Savings Bank is regulated by the OCC.  Sunshine Savings Bank is generally authorized to branch nationwide.

Sunshine Savings Bank is subject to a statutory lending limit on aggregate loans to one person or a group of persons combined because of certain common interests. That limit is equal to 15% of our unimpaired capital and surplus, except that for loans fully secured by readily marketable collateral, the limit is increased to 25%. At December 31, 2015, Sunshine Savings Bank's lending limit under this restriction was $4.7 million.  We have no loans in excess of our lending limit.

Sunshine Savings Bank is subject to periodic examinations by the OCC.  During these examinations, the examiners may require Sunshine Savings Bank to provide for higher general or specific loan loss reserves, and/or recognized additional charge-offs based on their judgment, which can impact our capital and earnings. As a federally chartered savings bank, Sunshine Savings Bank is subject to a semi-annual assessment, based upon its total assets, to fund the operations of the OCC.

The OCC has adopted guidelines establishing safety and soundness standards on such matters as loan underwriting and documentation, asset quality, earnings standards, internal controls and audit systems, interest rate risk exposure and compensation and other employee benefits. Any institution that fails to comply with these standards must submit a compliance plan.

Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC. The FDIC insures deposit accounts in Sunshine Savings Bank up to applicable limits.  The FDIC assesses deposit insurance premiums on each FDIC-insured institution quarterly based on annualized rates for one of four risk categories applied to its assessment base, which is total assets less tangible equity.  Insurance premium assessments are based on an institution’s total assets minus its tangible equity (defined as Tier 1 capital) instead of its deposits.  Under the rules for institutions with assets of less than $10.0 billion, for Risk Category I, initial base assessment rates are 5 to 9 basis points, and after adjustments for unsecured debt issued by an institution, total base assessment rates are 2.5 to 9 basis points, subject to increases for institutions that hold unsecured debt of other FDIC-insured institutions.  For Risk Categories II – IV, initial base assessment rates are 14 to 35 basis points, subject to adjustments for unsecured debt issued by an institution and brokered deposits, such that total base assessment rates are 9 to 45 basis points, subject to increases for institutions that hold unsecured debt of other FDIC-insured institutions.  An institution with assets of $10 billion or more is assessed under a complex scorecard method employing many factors.  The FDIC may increase or decrease its rates by 2.0 basis points without further rulemaking.  In an emergency, the FDIC may also impose a special assessment.  For the year ended December 31, 2015, Sunshine Savings Bank paid $117,000 in FDIC premiums.

As required by the Dodd Frank Act, the FDIC has proposed a rule to offset the effect of the increase in the minimum reserve ratio of the DIF by imposing a surcharge on institutions with assets of $10 billion or more commencing when the reserve ratio reaches 1.15% and ending when it reaches 1.35%.  This surcharge period is expected to begin in 2016 and end by December 31, 2018.  Smaller institutions will receive credits for the portion of their regular assessments that contributed to growth in the reserve ratio between 1.15% and 1.35%.  The credit will apply to reduce regular assessments by 2.0 basis points for quarters when the reserve ratio is at least 1.40%.

FDIC-insured institutions are required to pay an additional quarterly assessment called the FICO assessment in order to fund the interest on bonds issued to resolve thrift failures in the 1980s.  This

25

assessment rate is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the assessment base, which is average assets less tangible equity, and is the same base as used for the deposit insurance assessment.  These assessments are expected to continue until the bonds mature in the years 2017 through 2019.  For the year ended December 31, 2015, Sunshine Savings Bank paid $8,000 in FICO assessments. 

Transactions with Affiliates. Transactions between Sunshine Savings Bank and its affiliates are required to be on terms as favorable to the institution as transactions with non-affiliates; certain of these transactions, such as loans to an affiliate, are restricted to a percentage of Sunshine Savings Bank's capital, and loans to affiliates require eligible collateral in specified amounts. In addition, Sunshine Savings Bank may not lend to any affiliate engaged in activities not permissible for a bank holding company or acquire the securities of most affiliates. Sunshine Financial is an affiliate of Sunshine Savings Bank.  Sunshine Savings Bank’s authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors and 10% shareholders of the bank or its holding company (“insiders”), as well as entities such persons control, is limited.  There are limits on both the individual and aggregate amount of loans that Sunshine Savings Bank may make to insiders based, in part, on Sunshine Savings Bank’s capital level and certain board approval procedures must be followed.  Such loans are required to be made on terms substantially the same as those offered to unaffiliated parties and not involve more than the normal risk of repayment.  There is an exception for loans made pursuant to a benefit or compensation program that is widely available to all employees of the institution and does not give preference to insiders over other employees.  Loans to executive officers are subject to additional limitations based on the type of loan involved.

Capital Rules.  Effective January 1, 2015 (with some provisions transitioned into full effectiveness over several years), Sunshine Financial and Sunshine Savings Bank are subject to new capital regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve and the OCC.  Under the new capital regulations, the minimum capital ratios are: (1) a common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets; (2) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% of risk-weighted assets; (3) a total capital ratio of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets, and (4) a leverage ratio (the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total adjusted assets) of 4.0%.  CET1 generally consists of common stock, retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) unless an institution elects to exclude AOCI from regulatory capital, as discussed below, and certain minority interests, all subject to applicable regulatory adjustments and deductions.  Tier 1 capital generally includes CET1 and noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, less most intangible assets, subject to certain adjustments.  Total capital consists of Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital.  Tier 2 capital, which is limited to 100 percent of Tier 1 capital, includes such items as qualifying general loan loss reserves, cumulative perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible debt, term subordinated debt and limited life preferred stock; however, the amount of term subordinated debt and intermediate term preferred stock that may be included in Tier 2 capital is limited to 50 percent of Tier 1 capital.  Risk-weighted assets are determined under the capital regulations, which assign risk-weights to all assets and to certain off-balance sheet items.

The new regulations include the phasing-out of certain instruments as qualifying capital.  Mortgage servicing and deferred tax assets over designated percentages of CET1 are deducted from capital.  In addition, Tier 1 capital includes AOCI, which includes all unrealized gains and losses on available for sale debt and equity securities, unless an institution elects to opt out of such inclusion, if eligible to do so.  We have elected to permanently opt-out of the inclusion of AOCI in our capital calculations.

The new capital regulations include a 150% risk weight for certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans and for non-residential mortgage loans that are 90 days past due or otherwise in nonaccrual status; a 20% risk weight for the unused portion of a commitment with an original maturity of one year or less that is not unconditionally cancellable; and a 250% risk weight for mortgage servicing and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital.

26

In addition to the minimum CET1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios, Sunshine Financial and Sunshine Savings Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital greater than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses.  The capital conservation buffer requirement is phased in beginning on January 1, 2016 when a buffer greater than 0.625% of risk-weighted assets will be required which amount will increase each year until the buffer requirement is fully implemented on January 1, 2019.

Under the OCC’s prompt corrective action standards, in order to be considered well-capitalized, a bank must have a ratio of CET1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.5%, a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%, a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 10%, and a leverage ratio of 5%.  In order to be considered adequately capitalized, a bank must have the minimum capital ratios described above.  Institutions with lower capital ratios are assigned to lower capital categories.  Based on safety and soundness concerns, the OCC may assign an institution to a lower capital category than would originally apply based on its capital ratios.

The OCC is also authorized to require Sunshine Savings Bank to maintain additional amounts of capital in connection with concentrations of assets, interest rate risk and certain other items.  The OCC has not imposed such a requirement of Sunshine Savings Bank.

An institution that is not well capitalized is subject to certain restrictions on brokered deposits and interest rates on deposits.  An institution that is not at least adequately capitalized is subject to numerous additional restrictions, and a guaranty by its holding company is required.  An institution with a ratio of tangible equity to total assets of 20% or less is subject to appointment of the FDIC as receiver if its capital level does not improve in timely fashion.  When the FDIC as receiver liquidates an institution, the claims of depositors and the FDIC as their successor have priority over other unsecured claims against the institution.

As of December 31, 2015, Sunshine Financial and Sunshine Savings Bank are well-capitalized under the capital rules and we anticipate that we will meet the capital conservation buffer requirement.  Regulatory capital is discussed further in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Report.

Savings and Loan Holding Company Act and Change in Bank Control Act.  Any company, except a bank holding company, that acquires control of a savings association or savings and loan holding company becomes a “savings and loan holding company” subject to registration, examination and regulation by the Federal Reserve and must obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve under the Savings and Loan Holding Company Act before obtaining control of a savings association or savings and loan holding company.  A bank holding company must obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act before obtaining control of a savings association or savings and loan holding company and remains subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act.  The term “company” includes corporations, partnerships, associations, and certain trusts and other entities.  “Control” of a savings association or savings and loan holding company is deemed to exist if a company has voting control, directly or indirectly of at least 25% of any class of the savings association’s voting stock or controls in any manner the election of a majority of the directors of the savings association or savings and loan holding company, and may be presumed under other circumstances, including, but not limited to, holding 10% or more of a class of voting securities if the institution has a class of registered securities.  Control may be direct or indirect and may occur through acting in concert with one or more other persons.  In addition, a savings and loan holding company must obtain Federal Reserve approval prior to acquiring voting control of more than 5% of any class of voting stock of another savings association or another savings association holding company.  A provision limiting the acquisition by a

27

bank holding company of more than 5% of the outstanding voting stock of any company is included in the Bank Holding Company Act.

The prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board is required:

· before any savings and loan holding company or bank holding company could acquire 5% or more of the common stock of Sunshine Financial or Sunshine Savings Bank; and

· before any other company could acquire 25% or more of the common stock of Sunshine Financial or Sunshine Savings Bank, and may be required for an acquisition of as little as 10% of such stock.

In addition, persons that are not companies are subject to the same or similar definitions of control with respect to savings and loan holding companies and savings associations. Prior regulatory approval is required from the Federal Reserve in the case of control of a savings and loan holding company and from the OCC in the case of control of a savings association when persons other rather than a holding company seek control of a federal savings association.

Community Reinvestment and Consumer Protection Laws.  In connection with its lending and other activities, Sunshine Savings Bank is subject to a number of federal laws designed to protect borrowers and promote lending to various sectors of the economy and population.  These include the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008, and the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”).  In addition, federal banking regulators have enacted regulations limiting the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose nonpublic consumer information to non-affiliated third parties.  The regulations require disclosure of privacy policies and allow consumers to prevent certain personal information from being shared with non-affiliated parties.

  The CRA requires the appropriate federal banking agency, in connection with its examination of an FDIC-insured institution, to assess its record in meeting the credit needs of the communities served by the institution, including low and moderate income neighborhoods.  The federal banking regulators take into account the institution’s record of performance under the CRA when considering applications for mergers, acquisitions and branches.  Under the CRA, institutions are assigned a rating of outstanding, satisfactory, needs to improve, or substantial non-compliance.  Sunshine Savings Bank received a "satisfactory" rating in its most recent CRA evaluation.

Bank Secrecy Act / Anti-Money Laundering Laws.  Sunshine Savings Bank is subject to the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001.  These laws and regulations require Sunshine Savings Bank to implement policies, procedures, and controls to detect, prevent, and report money laundering and terrorist financing and to verify the identity of their customers.  Violations of these requirements can result in substantial civil and criminal sanctions.  In addition, provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act require the federal financial institution regulatory agencies to consider the effectiveness of a financial institution’s anti-money laundering activities when reviewing mergers and acquisitions.

Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions.  OCC regulations impose restrictions on savings institutions with respect to their ability to make distributions of capital, which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers and other transactions charged to the capital account.

28

Generally, savings institutions, such as Sunshine Savings Bank, may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to earnings of the previous two calendar years and current year-to-date earnings.  It is generally required that Sunshine Savings Bank remain well capitalized before and after the proposed distribution.  However, an institution deemed to be in need of more than normal supervision by the OCC may have its capital distribution authority restricted.  A savings institution, such as Sunshine Savings Bank, that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company and that proposes to make a capital distribution must submit written notice to the OCC and Federal Reserve 30 days prior to such distribution.  The OCC and Federal Reserve may object to the distribution during that 30-day period based on safety and soundness or other concerns.  Savings institutions that desire to make a larger capital distribution, or are under special restrictions, or are not, or would not be, well capitalized following a proposed capital distribution, however, must obtain regulatory approval prior to making such distribution.  For additional information, see “– New Capital Rules.”

The long-term ability of Sunshine Financial to pay dividends to its stockholders is based primarily upon the ability of Sunshine Savings Bank to make capital distributions to Sunshine Financial.  So long as Sunshine Savings Bank continues to remain “well capitalized” and meet the applicable capital conservation buffer requirement (discussed above) after each capital distribution and operates in a safe and sound manner, it is management’s belief that the OCC and Federal Reserve will continue to allow Sunshine Savings Bank to distribute its net income to Sunshine Financial, although no assurance can be given in this regard.  

Federal Home Loan Bank System.  Sunshine Savings Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, one of the 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System.  The Federal Home Loan Bank System provides a central credit facility for member institutions.  As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, Sunshine Savings Bank is required to hold shares of capital stock in that Federal Home Loan Bank.  Sunshine Savings Bank was in compliance with this requirement with an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock at December 31, 2015 of $348,000.

Regulation of Sunshine Financial

Sunshine Financial. As a savings and loan holding company, Sunshine Financial is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve. Applicable federal law and regulations limit the activities of Sunshine Financial and require the approval of the Federal Reserve for any acquisition of a subsidiary, including another financial institution or holding company thereof.  In addition, the Federal Reserve has enforcement authority over Sunshine Financial and its non-savings institution subsidiaries.  Among other things, this authority permits the Federal Reserve to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to Sunshine Savings Bank.

Permissible Activities.  Pursuant to federal law and regulations and policy, a savings and loan holding company such as Sunshine Financial may generally engage in the activities permitted for financial holding companies under Section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act (subject to filing an effective election with the Federal Reserve) and certain other activities that have been authorized for savings and loan holding companies by regulation.  A savings and loan holding company is also prohibited from engaging in activities that would constitute a serious risk to the safety and soundness of its subsidiary bank or from acquiring or retaining control of a depository institution that is not insured by the FDIC.

The Federal Reserve is prohibited from approving any acquisition that would result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings associations in more than one state, except for:  (i) the approval of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies; and (ii) the

29

acquisition of a savings association in another state if the laws of the state of the target savings association specifically permit such acquisitions.

Capital Requirements for Sunshine Financial.  The Federal Reserve has adopted new capital regulations for savings and loan holding companies, which establish the same capital requirements for Sunshine Financial as are described under “Sunshine Savings Bank – New Capital Rules” and become effective on the same schedule, including but not limited to the capital conservation buffer requirement.

Federal Securities Law.  The stock of Sunshine Financial is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Sunshine Financial is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements of the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Sunshine Financial stock held by persons who are affiliates of Sunshine Financial may not be resold without registration unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions. Affiliates for this purpose  are generally considered to be officers, directors and principal shareholders. If Sunshine Financial meets specified current public information requirements, each affiliate of Sunshine Financial will be able to sell in the public market, without registration, a limited number of shares in any three-month period.

The SEC has adopted regulations and policies under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that apply to Sunshine Financial as a registered company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The stated goals of these Sarbanes-Oxley requirements are to increase corporate responsibility, provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The SEC and Sarbanes-Oxley-related regulations and policies include very specific additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules.

Volcker Rule Regulations.Regulations were recently adopted by the federal banking agencies to implement the provisions of the Dodd Frank Act commonly referred to as the Volcker Rule.  The regulations contain prohibitions and restrictions on the ability of FDIC-insured institutions and their holding companies and affiliates to engage in proprietary trading and to hold certain interests in, or to have certain relationships with, various types of investment funds, including hedge funds and private equity funds, and certain other investments, including certain collateralized mortgage obligations, collateralized debt obligations and collateralized loan obligations and others.  We are currently in compliance with the various provisions of the Volcker Rule regulations.

Federal Taxation

General.  Sunshine Financial and Sunshine Savings Bank will be subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. Neither Sunshine Savings Bank's nor its existing holding companies federal income tax returns have ever been audited by the Internal Revenue Service.

Method of Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, Sunshine Financial and Sunshine Savings Bank currently report their income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and uses a fiscal year ending on December 31 for filing its federal income tax return.

Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences, called alternative minimum taxable income. The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent such alternative minimum taxable income

30

is in excess of the regular tax. Net operating losses can 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. We have not been subject to the alternative minimum tax, nor do we have any such amounts available as credits for carryover.

Net Operating Loss Carryovers. A financial institution may carryback net operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years. This provision applies to losses incurred in taxable years beginning after August 6, 1997.  At December 31, 2015, we had approximately $4.1 million in net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes.

Corporate Dividends-Received Deduction.  Sunshine Financial has elected to file consolidated return with Sunshine Savings Bank.  As a result, any dividends Sunshine Financial receives from Sunshine Savings Bank will not be included as income to Sunshine Financial.  The corporate dividends-received deduction is 100%, or 80% in the case of dividends received from corporations with which a corporate recipient does not file a consolidated tax return, depending on the level of stock ownership of the payer of the dividend.

State Taxation

Sunshine Savings Bank is subject to a franchise tax imposed under Florida Statutes. For Florida, banks and savings associations pay a franchise tax measured by net income. This tax is imposed in lieu of the corporate income tax and is measured by net income of the bank or savings association for the tax year at a rate of 5.5%.

Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OFFINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

This discussion and analysis reviews our consolidated financial statements and other relevant statistical data and is intended to enhance your understanding of our financial conditions and results of operations. The information in this section has been derived from the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto, which appear in Part I, Item 8 of this report.  You should read the information in this section in conjunction with the business and financial information regarding the Company as provided in this report.

Overview

Sunshine Financial is the holding company for its wholly owned subsidiary, Sunshine Savings Bank. Sunshine Savings Bank was originally chartered as a credit union in 1952 as Sunshine State Credit Union to serve state government employees in the metropolitan Tallahassee area.  On July 1, 2007, we converted from a state-chartered credit union known as Sunshine State Credit Union to a federal mutual savings bank known as Sunshine Savings Bank, then in 2009 reorganized into the mutual holding company structure.  On April 5, 2011, Sunshine Financial completed a public offering as part of the Sunshine Saving Bank’s conversion and reorganization from a mutual holding company to a public stock holding company structure.

We currently operate out of six full-service branch offices serving the Tallahassee, Florida metropolitan area.  Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those funds in loans secured by first and second mortgages on one- to four-family residences, commercial real estate, home equity loans and lines of credit, lot loans, and direct automobile, credit card and other consumer loans.

We offer a variety of deposit accounts, which are our primary source of funding for our lending activities.

Our operations are significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions.  Deposit flows are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing time deposits, other investments, account maturities, and the overall level of personal income and savings.  Lending activities are influenced by the demand for funds, the number and quality of lenders, and regional economic cycles.  Sources of funds for lending activities include primarily deposits, borrowings, payments on loans and income provided from operations.

Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on our loans and investments, and interest expense, which is the interest that we pay on our deposits and borrowings. Changes in levels of interest rates affect our net interest income. A secondary source of income is noninterest income, which includes revenue we receive from providing products and services. Our noninterest expense has typically exceeded our net interest income and we have relied primarily upon noninterest income to supplement our net interest income and to achieve earnings.

38

Our operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits, general and administrative, occupancy and equipment, data processing services, professional services and marketing expenses. Salaries and benefits consist primarily of the salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes, expenses for retirement and other employee benefits. Occupancy and equipment expenses, which are the fixed and variable costs of building and equipment, consist primarily of lease payments, taxes, depreciation, amortization expense, maintenance and costs of utilities.

Over the last year, our net interest margin has increased as a result of the increase in our earning assets.  Our average interest-earning assets increased $1.5 million to $137.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $135.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, while our average funding costs remained the same as compared to last year.  Our net interest rate spread increased to 4.01% for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to 3.99% for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Sunshine Financial is currently regulated by the Federal Reserve and Sunshine Savings Bank is regulated by the OCC and the FDIC.  On July 10, 2015, the Company announced that Sunshine Savings Bank had submitted an application to the FOFR, to convert its charter from a federally-chartered savings bank to a Florida-chartered commercial bank, which it subsequently approved.  Completion of the conversion is subject to the receipt by Sunshine Financial, Inc., of approval from the Federal Reserve to form a bank holding company.  Upon completion of the conversion, which is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2016, the name of the bank will be changed to Sunshine Community Bank. Upon completion of the conversion, the Bank's primary regulator will be the FOFR, with additional federal oversight provided by the FDIC.  The Federal Reserve will continue to be the primary banking regulator for Sunshine Financial.  The conversion to a state charter will not affect the Bank’s customers in any way.  Depositors will continue to have full protection of FDIC insurance.

Business and Operating Strategy and Goals

Our primary objective is to continue to grow Sunshine Savings Bank as a well-capitalized, profitable, independent, community-oriented financial institution serving customers in our market area.  Our strategy is simply to provide innovative products and superior service to customers in our market area, which we serve through our four convenient banking centers located in Tallahassee, Florida.  We support these banking centers with 24/7 access to on-line banking and participation in a worldwide ATM network.

Maintaining and improving our asset quality.  Our goal is to maintain and improve upon our level of nonperforming assets by managing credit risk.  We are focused on actively monitoring and managing all segments of our loan portfolio in order to proactively identify and mitigate risk.  We will continue to devote significant efforts and resources to reducing problem assets to levels consistent with our historical experience.  Nonperforming assets decreased to $2.2 million at December 31, 2015 compared to $2.3 million at December 31, 2013, and our nonperforming loans decreased to $1.8 million at December 31, 2015, compared to $2.1 million at December 31, 2014. Nonperforming one-four family loans decreased $397,000 during the year due to a decrease of one loan, while real estate owned increased by $227,000 due to foreclosure on two properties.  Our percentage of nonperforming assets to total assets was 1.39% and 1.53% at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Leveraging our capital to improve our overall efficiency and profitability.  We may improve our overall efficiency and profitability by leveraging our strong capital base.  We also may utilize our borrowing capacity at the FHLB of Atlanta to purchase investment grade securities to leverage our balance sheet and increase our net interest income and liquidity.  We also will continue to emphasize lower cost deposits.

39

Improving our earnings through product selection, pricing and lower cost of funds.  Through product selection and pricing and lower cost funds, we will seek to optimize our interest rate margin while managing our interest rate risk.  We will continue to expand our business by cross-selling our loan and deposit products and services to our customers and emphasizing our traditional strengths, which include residential mortgages, consumer loans and deposit products and services.  In addition, from time to time, consistent with our asset/liability objectives, we may sell a portion of our residential mortgage loan originations to Freddie Mac or private investors.  This allows us to maintain our customer relationships and generate servicing income, while also having the funds from any such loan sales available to make additional loans.

Growing our franchise within the Tallahassee metropolitan area. We operate with a service-oriented approach to banking by meeting our customers’ needs and emphasizing the delivery of a consistent and high-quality level of professional service. We believe that opportunities currently exist within our market area to grow our franchise.  Our attention to client service and competitive rates allows us to attract and retain deposit and loan customers.

Emphasizing lower cost core deposits to manage the funding costs of our loan growth.  We offer personal checking, savings and money-market accounts, which generally are lower-cost sources of funds than certificates of deposits and are less sensitive to withdrawal when interest rates fluctuate.  To build our core deposit base, we are pursuing a number of strategies that include sales promotions on savings and checking accounts to encourage the growth of these types of deposits.

Continuing to originate residential and increasing commercial real estate loans.  Our primary lending focus has been, and will continue to be, on originating one- to four-family, owner-occupied mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, automobile, credit card and other consumer loans.  In addition, we began originating commercial real estate loans in the second quarter of 2012. Commercial real estate lending diversifies our loan portfolio and gives us the opportunity to earn more income because these loans have higher interest rates than residential mortgages in order to compensate for the increased credit risk. At December 31, 2015, commercial real estate loans represented 38.0% of our loan portfolio.

Controlling our operating expense while continuing to provide excellent customer service. Our infrastructure, personnel and fixed operating base can support a substantially larger asset base.  As a result we believe we can cost-effectively grow as we continue to meet the financial needs of the communities in which we operate.  We believe that we can be more effective in servicing our customers than many of our non-local competitors because our employees and senior management are able to respond promptly to customer needs and inquiries.  Our ability to provide these services is enhanced by the experience of our executive officers, who have an average of over 29 years’ experience in the financial services industry.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain of our accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain.  Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances.  Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers.  Management believes that its critical accounting policies include, determining the allowance for loan losses, accounting for deferred income taxes as well as the valuation of foreclosed assets.  Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 8 of this report.

40

Allowance for Loan Losses.  We believe that the accounting estimate related to the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to change from period to period, requiring management to make assumptions about losses on loans. The impact of a sudden large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would negatively affect operations.

The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date.  The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to operations.  Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment.  The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired.  For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers all other loans and is based on historical industry loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

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. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for all loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.

Deferred Tax Assets.  Income taxes are reflected in our financial statements to show the tax effects of the operations and transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently payable plus deferred taxes.  GAAP requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for deferred income taxes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.  They are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled and are determined using the assets and liability method of accounting.  The deferred income provision represents the difference between net deferred tax asset/liability at the beginning and end of the reported period.  In formulating our deferred tax asset, we are required to estimate our earnings and taxes in the jurisdiction in which we operate.  This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure for the reported period together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation and the provision for loan losses, for tax and financial reporting purposes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates.  The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on results of future operations.  A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

41

Foreclosed Real Estates.  Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis.  After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value less costs to sell.  Revenue and expenses from operations are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014

General. Total assets increased $6.8 million, or 4.5%, to $157.8 million at December 31, 2015 from $151.0 million at December 31, 2014. The increase in total assets was due primarily to increases in net loans and bank owned life insurance (‘BOLI”), slightly offset by a decrease in securities and cash and cash equivalents.  Loans increased $10.6 million, bank owned life insurance increased $3.1 million, while securities decreased $5.0 million and cash and cash equivalents decreased $2.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2015. The net increase in assets was funded by a $2.6 million, or 2.0%, increase in deposits from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015, and FHLB advances totaling $5.0 million.

Loans.Our net loan portfolio increased $10.6 million or 10.3% to $113.4 million at December 31, 2015 from $102.8 million at December 31, 2014.  Consistent with our strategy to diversify our loan portfolio and to add higher yielding loans, commercial real estate loans increased $13.6 million  or 45.7% while one- to four-family real estate mortgage loans decreased $2.7 million and lot loans decreased $497,000.  Consumer loans decreased $1.5 million primarily due to a $603,000 decrease in home equity loans and $483,000 decrease in credit cards and unsecured loans.  Total loan originations increased $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 and loan repayments increased $2.4 million for the same period.  We originated $13.1 million and sold $6.1 million of one- to four-family real estate mortgage loans to generate additional income.

Allowance for Loan Losses.Our allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2015 was $895,000, or 0.78% of total loans, compared to $1.1 million, or 1.04% of total loans, at December 31, 2014.  Nonperforming loans decreased to $1.8 million at December 31, 2015 from $2.1 million at December 31, 2014.  Nonperforming loans to total loans decreased to 1.54% at December 31, 2015 from 2.01% at December 31, 2014.  Loans on nonaccrual which were less than ninety days past due totaled $203,000 at December 31, 2015 compared to $534,000 at December 31, 2014.

Deposits.  Total deposits increased $2.6 million, or 2.1%, to $130.5 million at December 31, 2015 from $127.9 million at December 31, 2014.  This increase was due primarily to an increase in savings, money-market deposit accounts, and noninterest-bearing deposit accounts, partially offset by a decrease in time deposits as some bank customers chose to move maturing time deposits into money-market deposit accounts due to relatively comparable interest rates, the immediate availability of funds and the anticipation of higher time deposit rates in the future.

Borrowings.  FHLB advances increased $5.0 million at December 31, 2015 from none at December 31, 2014.  These advances mature in 2016 and had a weighted average fixed rate of 0.39% at December 31, 2015.

Equity. Total stockholders' equity decreased $1.0 million to $21.4 million at December 31, 2015, from $22.4 million at December 31, 2014.  This decrease was due to the repurchase of 63,212 shares of common stock at an average price of $18.42 per share for a total cost of $1.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2015, and a net loss of $76,000, which was partially offset by stock-based compensation of $190,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Rate/Volume Analysis

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

Comparison of Results of Operation for the Year Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

General.  For the year ended December 31, 2015 we recorded a net loss of $76,000 or $(0.08) per basic and diluted loss per share compared to recorded net earnings of $39,000 or $0.04 per basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2014, resulting in a return on average assets of (0.05)% for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to 0.03 % for last year.  The $115,000 decrease in net earnings was due primarily to a $648,000 increase in noninterest expenses and a $50,000 increase in provision for loan losses, partially offset by a $100,000 increase in net interest income, a $436,000 increase in noninterest income, and a $47,000 increase in income tax benefit.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $100,000, or 1.8%, to $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $5.5 million for the same period in 2014, primarily due to the increase in the average balance of our loan portfolio.  Our interest rate spread increased to 4.01% for the year ended December 31, 2015 from 3.99% last year, while our net interest margin increased to 4.11% at December 31, 2015from 4.08% at December 31, 2014.  The ratio of average interest-earning assets to

44

average interest-bearing liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2015 stayed unchanged from the previous yearat 1.34x.

Interest Income.   Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased $98,000, or 1.7%, to $6.0 million from $5.9 million for the same period ended December 31, 2014.  The increase in interest income for the year ended December 31, 2015 was primarily due to higher average balances of loans, partially offset by lower yields earned on loans.  Average interest-earning loans increased to $106.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $98.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, while the average yield earned on loans declined 19 basis points to 5.18% at December 31, 2015 reflecting the continued low interest rate environment.  Interest income on investments decreased $122,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the previous year end.  This was due to the average balance of interest-earning investments decreasing to $23.4 million from $26.2 million and the average yield decreasing from 2.27% to 2.02% as higher rate securities paid down.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $375,000 compared to $377,000 for last year, a decrease of $2,000.  The decrease was the result of decreases in the average balance of time deposits and the average rate paid on statement savings accounts, partially offset by higher average balances of money-market and statement savings accounts.  The average balance of time deposits decreased to $25.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $27.9 million for the prior year, and the average rate paid on time deposits increased to 0.49% from 0.48% during the year.  The average balance of money-market and statement savings accounts increased to $76.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $73.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the average rate paid on these accounts remained unchanged at 0.33%. The total cost of funds for the year ended December 31, 2015 also remained unchanged at 0.37% as compared to last year.

Provision for Loan Losses.  We establish an allowance for loan losses by charging amounts to the loan provision at a level required to reflect estimated credit losses in the loan portfolio.  In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers, among other factors, historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions and current risk factors specifically related to each loan type.  See “- Critical Accounting Policies -- Allowance for Loan Loss” for a description of the manner in which the provision for loan losses is established.

Based on management’s evaluation of the foregoing factors, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $180,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and $130,000 for the same period in 2014.  The increase in the provision for loan losses during 2015 primarily reflects the increase in our commercial real estate loan portfolio and decline in nonaccrual loans.  Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $372,000 compared to $337,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014.  Nonperforming loans to total loans at December 31, 2015 were 1.54% compared to 2.01% at December 31, 2014.  The allowance for loan losses to loans receivable, net was 0.78% at December 31, 2015 compared to 1.04% at December 31, 2014.

Management considers the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2015 to be adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the assessment of the above-mentioned factors affecting the loan portfolio. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future losses will not exceed the amount of the established allowance for loan losses or that any increased allowance for loan losses that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and

45

results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in additions to our provision for loan losses based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased $436,000, or 22.9%, to $2.3 million compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily due to a $451,000 gain on the sale of excess land located next to the home office location.  Noninterest income also increased due to income of $75,000 on $3.0 million of BOLI purchased in April 2015 and an increase of $49,000 on fees and charges on loans, partially offset by $139,000 decrease on fees and service charges from deposit accounts.  The primary cause for the decrease in fees and service charges from deposit accounts was a decrease in income from debit card activity.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $7.9 million compared to $7.3 million for the same period in 2014, an increase of $648,000 or 8.9%.  The largest increases were in data processing services, salaries and benefits, other, and professional fees.  Data processing services expense increased due to migrating to a service bureau from an in-house processing core system, which was undertaken to avoid higher upgrade and cyber security costs in the future. The increase in salaries and benefits was due to a one-time bonus paid to non-executive employees.  Other expense increased due to setting up a reserve for debit card losses based on information available from our debit card servicer, and professional fees increased due primarily to increased legal fees associated with our current charter change to a Florida-chartered commercial bank.

Income Taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded an income tax benefit of $52,000 on a before tax loss of $128,000.  For the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded an income tax benefit of $5,000 on before tax earnings of $34,000.  Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2015 was (40.6)% compared to (14.7)% for the same time period in 2014.

Asset/Liability Management

Our Risk When Interest Rates Change. The rates of interest we earn on assets and pay on liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Market interest rates change over time. Our loans generally have longer maturities than our deposits. Accordingly, our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. The risk associated with changes in interest rates and our ability to adapt to these changes is known as interest rate risk and is our most significant market risk. As of December 31, 2015, our one-year cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap as a percentage of total assets was a negative 2.34%, or $2.7 million, which generally means we are slightly liability sensitive, with $2.7 million  more liabilities maturing or repricing in one year than assets. Accordingly, if interest rates rise, our net interest income would be expected to decrease because interest received on interest-earning assets, including loans and other investments, would increase slower than interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, including deposits and borrowings.  The primary reason our gap is slightly negative is due to our lower balances in Interest-bearing deposits with banks and short term certificate of deposits.

How We Measure Our Risk of Interest Rate Changes. As part of our attempt to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and comply with applicable regulations, we monitor our interest rate risk. In monitoring interest rate risk we continually analyze and manage assets and liabilities based on their payment streams and interest rates, the timing of their maturities, and their sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates.  Our board of directors sets the asset and liability policy, which is implemented by management and an asset/liability committee whose members includes certain members of the board and senior management.

46

The purpose of this committee is to communicate, coordinate and control asset/liability management consistent with our business plan and board approved policies. The committee establishes and monitors the volume and mix of assets and funding sources taking into account relative costs and spreads, interest rate sensitivity and liquidity needs. The objectives are to manage assets and funding sources to produce results that are consistent with liquidity, capital adequacy, growth, risk, and profitability goals.

The committee generally meets on a quarterly basis to review, among other things, economic conditions and interest rate outlook, current and projected liquidity needs and capital position, anticipated changes in the volume and mix of assets and liabilities and interest rate risk exposure limits versus current projections pursuant to net present value of portfolio equity analysis and income simulations. The committee recommends appropriate strategy changes based on this review. The committee is responsible for reviewing and reporting on the effects of the policy implementations and strategies to the board of directors at least quarterly.

In order to manage our assets and liabilities and achieve the desired liquidity, credit quality, interest rate risk, profitability and capital targets, we have focused our strategies on:

· originating adjustable rate home equity loans;

· originating a managed amount of short- and intermediate-term fixed rate loans; and

· promoting our deposits to establish stable deposit relationships.

Depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the committee may in the future determine to increase our interest rate risk position somewhat in order to maintain or increase our net interest margin. We intend to continue our existing strategy of originating a mix of single-family fixed-rate mortgage loans, quarterly adjustable home equity lines of credit, and relatively short term secured consumer loans. We may also originate fixed rate loans for sale.

The committee regularly reviews interest rate risk by forecasting the impact of alternative interest rate environments on net interest income and our present value equity (“PVE”), which is defined as the net present value of our existing assets and liabilities.  The committee also valuates these impacts against the potential changes in net interest income and market value of our portfolio equity that are monitored by the board of directors of Sunshine Savings Bank generally on a quarterly basis.

Our asset/liability management strategy sets limits on the change in PVE given certain changes in interest rates.  The table presented here, as of December 31, 2015, is forward-looking information about our sensitivity to changes in interest rates.  The table incorporates data from an independent service, as it relates to maturity repricing and repayment/withdrawal of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  Interest rate risk is measured by changes in PVE for instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve up 300 basis points and down 100 basis points.   No rates in the model are allowed to go below zero as any further decline in rates is impossible given the Federal Funds Rate of 0.50%. As illustrated in the table below, our PVE would benefit more from a decrease in market rates of interest than an increase.  An increase in rates would negatively impact our PVE as a result of costs of deposit accounts increasing more rapidly than yields on loans due to the fixed rate nature of a large portion of our loan portfolio and that the prepayments on those loans would slow significantly.  As rates rise, the market value of fixed rate assets generally declines due to both the rate increases and slowing prepayments.

In evaluating our exposure to interest rate movements, certain shortcomings inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table must be considered.  For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or repricing periods, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates.  Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in interest rates.  Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgages, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset.  Further, in the event of a significant change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed above.  Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.  We consider all of these factors in monitoring our exposure to interest rate risk.

Liquidity

Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business.  Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures.  Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, FHLB advances, and proceeds from maturities and calls of securities.  The Company has an unsecured federal funds line of credit for $2.5 million with a correspondent bank and a $15.2 million line with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta collateralized by a blanket lien on qualifying loans. At December 31, 2015 the Company had $5.0 million outstanding in FHLB advances that mature in 2016 at a weighted average fixed rate of 0.39%.  At December 31, 2014 the Company had no outstanding borrowings.

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments including interest-bearing demand deposits. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period.

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities.  For the year ended December 31, 2015, cash provided by operating activities totaled $603,000, compared to $626,000 in cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2014.Net cash used in investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of securities, offset by principal collections on loans and proceeds from pay-downs on securities, totaled $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to cash used of $6.4 million for last year. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of the activity in FHLB advances and deposit accounts, was $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to net cash provided of $4.3 million in 2014.These

48

changes were primarily due to increases  in deposits and FHLB advances partially offset by common stock repurchases.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity.  In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for repurchasing shares pursuant to any Board approved stock repurchase program and paying any dividends, when and if declared by the Board, to its shareholders.  The Company has the ability to receive dividends or capital distributions from the Bank, although there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends.  At December 31, 2015, the Company (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $517,000.

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position.  We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis.  We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments.  Based on our deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of maturing time deposits will be retained.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities

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

A summary of our off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit at December 31, 2015, is as follows (in thousands):

Unused lines of credit $ 17,007

Capital Resources

Sunshine Savings Bank is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by the OCC.  Based on its capital levels at December 31, 2015, Sunshine Savings Bank exceeded these requirements as of that date.  Consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, our policy is for Sunshine Savings Bank to maintain a “well-capitalized” status under the capital categories of the OCC.  At December 31, 2015, Sunshine Savings Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements to be categorized as well capitalized under applicable regulatory guidelines with a common equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital ratio of 16.24% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of 6.5%, a Tier 1 leverage capital level of 12.56% of adjusted total assets, which is above the required level of 5.00%, Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 16.24%, which is above the required level of 8.00% and total risk-based capitalto risk-weighted assets of ----17.03%, which is above the required level of 10.00%.  Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change our category. For additional information See “Business - How We Are Regulated – Sunshine Savings Bank -- Capital Rules” in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-K for capital rules that Sunshine Savings Bank became subject to as of January 1, 2015.

At December 31, 2015, stockholders’ equity at Sunshine Savings Bank totaled $20.8 million. Management monitors the capital levels of Sunshine Savings Bank to provide for current and future business opportunities and to meet regulatory guidelines for “well-capitalized” institutions.

49

Impact of Inflation

The effects of price changes and inflation can vary substantially for most financial institutions.   While management believes that inflation affects the growth of total assets, it believes that it is difficult to assess the overall impact.   Management believes this to be the case due to the fact that generally neither the timing nor the magnitude of the inflationary changes in the consumer price index (“CPI”) coincides with changes in interest rates.   The price of one or more of the components of the CPI may fluctuate considerably and thereby influence the overall CPI without having a corresponding effect on interest rates or upon the cost of those good and services normally purchased by Sunshine Savings Bank.   In years of high inflation and high interest rates, intermediate and long-term interest rates tend to increase, thereby adversely impacting the market values of investment securities, mortgage loans and other long-term fixed rate loans.   In addition, higher short-term interest rates caused by inflation tend to increase the cost of funds.   In other years, the opposite may occur.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the Years Then Ended

(1)  Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization. Sunshine Financial, Inc. ("Sunshine Financial" or the "Holding Company"), a Maryland corporation, is the holding company for Sunshine Savings Bank (the "Bank") and owns all the outstanding common stock of the Bank.

The Holding Company's only business is the operation of the Bank.  The Bank through its six banking offices provides a variety of retail community banking services to individuals and businesses primarily in Leon County, Florida. The Bank's deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank's subsidiary is Sunshine Member Insurance Services, Inc. ("SMSI"), which was established to sell automobile warranty and credit life and disability insurance products associated with loan products. Collectively the entities are referred to as the "Company."

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and to prevailing practices within the banking industry.  The following summarizes the more significant of these policies and practices.

Principles of Consolidation.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sunshine Financial and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates.  In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, and the valuation of foreclosed real estate and deferred tax assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents.  For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks and interest-bearing deposits with banks, all of which mature within ninety days.

Banks are required to maintain cash reserves in the form of vault cash, in a noninterest-earning account with the Federal Reserve Bank or in noninterest-earning accounts with other qualified banks.  This requirement is based on the amount of the Bank's transaction deposit accounts.

Securities.  Securities may be classified as either trading, held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Trading securities are held principally for resale and recorded at their fair values.  Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included immediately in operations.  Held-to-maturity securities are those which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost.  Available-for-sale securities consist of securities not classified as trading securities nor as held‑to‑maturity securities.  Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from operations and reported in comprehensive income. Gains and losses on the sale of available‑for‑sale securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific‑identification method. Premiums and discounts on securities available for sale are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.  Consideration is given to (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.

Loans Held for Sale.  The Bank originates loans for sale in the secondary market.  These loans are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate.  At December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were none and $249,000, respectively, of loans held for sale.  Loans held for sale are included in loans on the consolidated balance sheets.

Loans.  Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay‑off are reported at their outstanding principal adjusted for any charge‑offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans.

Loan origination fees are deferred and certain direct origination costs are capitalized.  The net amount is recognized as an adjustment of the yield over the contractual life of the related loan.

Loans, Continued. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is more than ninety-days delinquent unless the loan is well collateralized and in process of collection.  In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered unlikely.

All interest accrued but not collected for loans placed on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income.  The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and remain current for a period of six months.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to operations.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. There were no changes in the Bank's accounting policies or methodology during the years ended December 31, 2015 or 2014.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired.  For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers all other loans and is based on historical industry loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

The historical loss component of the allowance is determined by losses recognized by portfolio segment over the preceding two years. This is supplemented by the risks for each portfolio segment. Risk factors impacting loans in each of the portfolio segments include changes in lending policies and procedures, economic conditions, volume and nature of loans, lending management experience, volume of troubled loans, quality of loan review system, value of collateral-dependent loans, credit concentrations and competition and regulatory change. The historical experience is adjusted for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and other trends or uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses.

Allowance for Loan Losses, Continued.  Aloan 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. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for residential mortgage loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.

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

Deferred income taxes result from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods.  Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination.  The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any.  A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.  The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management's judgment.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of December 31, 2015, management is not aware of any uncertain tax positions that would have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for Loan Losses, Continued.  The Company files consolidated income tax returns.  Income taxes are allocated to the Holding Company and the Bank as if separate income tax returns were filed.  Interest and penalties on income taxes are recognized as a component of income taxes.

Loan Servicing.  Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are retained or acquired through purchase or through sale of financial assets.  Capitalized servicing rights are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets.  Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights compared to amortized cost.  Impairment is determined by stratifying rights by predominant characteristics, such as interest rates and terms.  Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions.  Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual stratum, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for the stratum.  At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the amount of loan servicing assets was immaterial.

Premises and Equipment.  Land is stated at cost.  Buildings and improvements and furniture and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation expense is computed using the straight‑line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Estimated useful lives for buildings and improvements range from ten to forty years; for furniture and fixtures from five to seven years.

Foreclosed Real Estate.  Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure is held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis.  After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the real estate is carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value less costs to sell.  Revenue and expenses from operations are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

Off‑Balance‑Sheet Financial Instruments.  In the ordinary course of business the Company has entered into off‑balance‑sheet financial instruments consist of unused lines of credit.  Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they are funded.

Transfer of Financial Assets.  Transfers of financial assets or a participating interest in an entire financial asset are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.  A participating interest is a portion of an entire financial asset that (1) conveys proportionate ownership rights with equal priority to each participating interest holder (2) involves no recourse (other than standard representations and warranties) to, or subordination by, any participating interest holder, and (3) does not entitle any participating interest holder to receive cash before any other participating interest holder.

Fair Value Measurements.  Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets and liabilities for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based upon the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.

The following describes valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value:

Impaired Loans.  The Company's impaired loans are normally collateral dependent and, as such, are carried at the lower of the Company's net recorded investment in the loan or the estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Estimates of fair value are determined based on a variety of information, including the use of available appraisals, estimates of market value by licensed appraisers or local real estate brokers and the knowledge and experience of the Company's management related to values of properties in the Company's market areas. These officers take into consideration the type, location and occupancy of the property as well as current economic conditions in the area the property is located in assessing estimates of fair value. Accordingly, fair value estimates for impaired loans is classified as Level 3.

Foreclosed Real Estate.  Estimates of fair values are determined based on a variety of information, including the use of available appraisals, estimates of market value by licensed appraisers or local real estate brokers and the knowledge and experience of the Company's management related to values of properties in the Company's market areas.  These officers taken into consideration the type, location and occupancy of the property as well as current economic conditions in the area the property is located in assessing estimates of fair value.  Accordingly, the fair values estimates for foreclosed real estate are classified as Level 3.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments.  The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents.  The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.

Securities Held to Maturity.  Fair values for securities are based on the framework for measuring fair value.

Loans.  For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.  Fair values for fixed-rate mortgage and consumer loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using a third party pricing model. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

(continued)

62

SUNSHINE FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock.  Fair value of the Company's investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock is its redemption value of $100 per share.

Accrued Interest Receivable.  The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.

Deposit Liabilities.  The fair values disclosed for demand, NOW, money-market and savings deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts).  Fair values for fixed-rate time deposits are estimated using the Company’s interest-rate risk management model.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances.  The fair values of advances are estimated using the discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowings.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments.  Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing.  The fair value of these fees is not material.

Recent Pronouncements.

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, deferring the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year. The standard also allows entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. The FASB decided, based on its outreach to various stakeholders and the forthcoming amendments to the new revenue standard, that a deferral is necessary to provide adequate time to effectively implement the new revenue standard.  The adoption of ASU 2015-14 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Pronouncements. Continued.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The new guidance is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments.  This ASU requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.  In addition, the amendment requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes and requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. This ASU also eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet.  The amendment also requires a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments.  ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted for certain provisions.  The adoption of ASU 2016-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities arising from operating leases. A lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A lessee should include payments to be made in an optional period only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. For a finance lease, interest payments should be recognized separately from amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income. For operating leases, the lease cost should be allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis. The amendments in ASU 2016-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,

At December 31, 2015, the unrealized losses on nineteen securities are considered by management to be attributable to changes in market interest rates, and not attributable to credit risk on the part of the issuer. Accordingly, if market rates were to decline, much or the entire decline in market value would likely be recovered through market appreciation. As management has the ability and intent to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future, no declines in the fair value below amortized cost are deemed to be other than temporary.

The Company has divided the loan portfolio into three portfolio segments and ten classes, each with different risk characteristics and methodologies for assessing risk. The portfolio segments identified by the Company are as follows:

Real Estate Mortgage Loans.  Real estate mortgage loans are loans comprised of four classes: One- to- four family, Lot loans, Commercial real estate and Construction loans. The Company generally originates one- to- four family mortgage loans in amounts up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of a mortgaged property, but will also permit loan-to-value ratios of up to 95%. For one- to- four family loans exceeding an 80% loan-to-value ratio, the Company generally requires the borrower to obtain private mortgage insurance covering any loss on the amount of the loan in excess of 80% in the event of foreclosure. Commercial real estate loans are generally originated at 75% or less loan-to-value ratio and have amortization terms of up to 20 years and maturities of   up to ten years.  Construction loans to borrowers are to finance the construction of one- to four-family, owner occupied properties. These loans are categorized as construction loans during the construction period, later converting to residential real estate loans after the construction is complete and amortization of the loan begins. Real estate construction loan funds are disbursed periodically based on the percentage of construction completed.  If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, the Company may be compelled to advance additional funds to complete the construction with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the ultimate project rather than the ability of a borrower to repay the loan.  The Company carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and requires the receipt of lien waivers on funds advanced. Construction loans are typically secured by the properties under construction. The Company also makes loans for the purchase of developed lots for future construction of the borrower's primary residence. Construction and lot loan lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term permanent financing of residential properties.

Commercial. Commercial loans are primarily underwritten on the basis of the borrowers' ability to service such debt from income.  The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value.  As a general practice, the Company takes as collateral a security interest in any available real estate, equipment, or other chattel, although loans may also be made on an unsecured basis.  Collateralized working capital loans typically are secured by short-term assets whereas long-term loans are primarily secured by long-term assets.

Consumer Loans. Consumer loans are comprised of five classes: Home equity, Automobile, Credit cards and unsecured, Deposit account and Other.  The Company offers a variety of secured consumer loans, including home equity, new and used automobile, boat and other recreational vehicle loans, and loans secured by savings deposits.  The Company also offers unsecured consumer loans including a credit card product.  The Company originates its consumer loans primarily in its market area.  Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the creditworthiness of the borrower(s), the purpose of the credit, and the secondary source of repayment. Consumer loans are made at fixed and variable interest rates and may be made on terms of up to twenty years. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

Internally assigned loan grades are defined as follows:

Pass – A Pass loan's primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary.

Special Mention – A Special Mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or theCompany's credit position at some future date.  Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard – A Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that theCompany will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – A loan classified Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss – A loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

The allowance for loan losses on residential real estate and consumer loans that have been restructured and are considered TDR’s is included in the Company's specific reserve. The specific reserve is determined on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. TDR's that have subsequently defaulted are considered collateral-dependent.  The Company had no commitments to extend additional credit to borrowers owing receivables whose terms have been modified in TDRs. The Company has not had any TDR’s which were restructured during 2014 that subsequently defaulted during 2014.

(8)  Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Line of Credit

The Company also has an unsecured federal funds line of credit for $2.5 million with a correspondent bank and a $15.2 million line with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta collateralized by a blanket lien on qualifying loans. At December 31, 2015 the Company had $5.0 million outstanding in FHLB advances that mature in 2016 at a weighted average fixed rate of 0.39%.  At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no outstanding balances on the federal funds line of credit.  At December 31, 2014, the Company had no FHLB advances.

(9)  Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments are unused lines of credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.  The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.

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

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed-expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.

Unused lines of credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate when funded. A summary of the amounts of the Company's financial instruments, with off-balance-sheet risk at the dates indicated follows (in thousands):

	At December 31,
	2015

(11)  Income Taxes, Continued

At December 31, 2015, the Company has Federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4.0 million, available to offset future taxable income.  The carryforward will begin to expire in 2028.

The Company files consolidated U.S. and Florida income tax returns.  With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state and local income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2012.

The Company performs periodic evaluations on the deferred tax asset to determine if a valuation allowance is necessary. The analysis weighs positive evidence against negative evidence to determine if it is more likely than not to recognize the future benefit of the deferred tax asset. The Company's analysis includes internal forecasts that demonstrate the Company's ability to fully utilize the deferred tax asset prior to the expiration of the related net operating loss periods discussed above. The Company's internal forecasts include growth assumptions relating to loans, noninterest income and noninterest expense, as well as estimating loan losses and other nonrecurring items. Management determined that a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset was not necessary at December 31, 2015 or 2014.

(12)  Contingencies

Various legal claims arise from time to time in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of management, will have no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

(14)  Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a 401(k) plan for its employees who meet certain age and length-of-service requirements. For the tax year 2015, eligible employees could contribute up to $18,000 of their compensation to the plan on a pre-tax basis. Employer matching contributions were made at 100 percent of the employee contribution up to five percent. Employer contributions to the 401(k) plan were approximately $97,000 and $103,000 for 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(15)  Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP")

The Holding Company has established an ESOP which acquired 98,756 shares in exchange for a $988,000 note payable to the Holding Company. The loan is being repaid principally by the Bank through contributions to the ESOP over a period of 10 years.  The note bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.25% and is payable in annual installments and is due in 2021.  The ESOP expense was $14,000 and $12,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(16)  2012 Equity Incentive Plan, Continued

At December 31, 2015, there was approximately $97,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a period of forty-four months.  The total fair value of shares vesting and recognized as compensation expense was $29,000 and $30,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The Company recognized a tax benefit of $17,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

The fair value of each option granted during the year ended December 31, 2014 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate		2.22	%
Dividend yield		-
Expected stock volatility		9.92	%
Expected life in years		6.5
Per share grant-date fair value of options issued
during the year	$	3.19

The Company examined its historical pattern of option exercises in an effort to determine if there were any pattern based on certain employee populations.  From this analysis, the Company could not identify any patterns in the exercise of options.  As such, the Company used the guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission to determine the estimated life of options issued.  Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company.  The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.  The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's historical and expected dividend payments.

The Company's 2012 Equity Incentive Plan also authorized the grant of up to 49,378 restricted common shares.  The restricted shares granted vest in five equal annual installments, with the first installment vesting one year after the date of grant. Restricted shares generally are forfeited if employment is terminated before the restriction period expires.  The record holder of the Company's restricted shares of common stock possesses all the rights of a holder of the Company common stock, including the right to receive dividends on and to vote the restricted shares. The restricted shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until they become fully vested and transferable in accordance with the agreements. Compensation expense for restricted stock totaled $147,000 for 2015 and $122,000 for 2014. The income tax benefit recognized was $55,000 and $46,000 in the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(18)  Regulatory Matters

The Bank is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). Capital adequacy requirements are quantitative measures established by regulation that require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital.  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/Company's consolidated financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of 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.

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

(18)  Regulatory Matters, Continued

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

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

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

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

At December 31, 2015, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. Consistent with its goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, the Bank's policy is to maintain a "well-capitalized" status under the capital categories of the OCC. Based on capital levels at December 31, 2015, the Bank was considered to be well-capitalized.

The Bank's actual regulatory capital amounts and percentages at December 31, 2015 and 2014 are presented in the table (dollars in thousands):

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

Item 9.     Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9(A).  Controls and Procedures.

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2015, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the our Chief Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and several other members of our senior management team within the period preceding the filing of this annual report.  Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to our management (including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

We intend to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and to improve the Company's controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that we may discover in the future.  The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company's business.  While we believe the present design of the disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud.  A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

(b)Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The annual report of management on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting is set forth below.

88

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of Sunshine Financial, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls.  Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.  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.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015.  In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).  Based on our assessment, we concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal controls over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm.
