Meetinghouse Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated condensed interim financial statements include the accounts of Meetinghouse Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Meetinghouse Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Meetinghouse Securities Corporation and 69 Richmond Street Realty Trust.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation.  The results shown for the interim periods ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year.  These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2014 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

In preparing the consolidated condensed interim financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the statement of financial condition and reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented.  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 deferred income taxes.

NOTE 2 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company is the registered bank holding company for the Bank.  The Bank, a Massachusetts co-operative bank, is headquartered in Dorchester, Massachusetts.  The Bank is engaged principally in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and investing those deposits in residential and commercial real estate loans, construction loans, and in consumer and small business loans.

NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).”  The objective of this ASU is to clarify principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.  The guidance in this ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards.  The core principal of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  For public entities the amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. However, in July 2015, the FASB voted to approve deferring the effective date by one year (i.e., interim and annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017). Early adoption is permitted, but not before the original effective date (i.e., interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016). The Company is currently reviewing this ASU to determine if it will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

8

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.”  The amendments in this ASU affect reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities.  Specifically, the amendments: (1) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) or voting interest entities; (2) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership; (3) affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships; and (4) provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds.  ASU 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015.  The Company anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.”  The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.  The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU.  The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted.  The guidance should be applied on a retrospective basis.  The Company anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.”  This ASU provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license.  If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses.  If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract.  The new guidance does not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts.  ASU 2015-05 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).” The amendments in this ASU remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. ASU 2015-07 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The guidance shall be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stock by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed in a manner similar to that of basic EPS except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of incremental common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were issued during the period. Unallocated common shares held by the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) are shown as a reduction in stockholders’ equity and are included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted EPS calculations as they are committed to be released.

EPS for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 have been computed as follows (in thousands, except share data):

Basic earnings (loss) per share	$	0.18		$	(0.25	)
Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$	0.18		$	(0.25	)

Options to purchase 59,509 shares were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three-month period ending June 30, 2015. There were no options to purchase shares included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine-month period ending June 30, 2015 because to do so would have been antidilutive. There were no outstanding options or awards during the nine-month period ending June 30, 2014.

Management conducts, at least on a quarterly basis, a review of the Company’s investment securities to determine if the value of any security has declined below its cost or amortized cost and whether such decline represents other-than-temporary impairment.  The investments in the Company’s investment portfolio that are temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2015 consist of sixteen mortgage-backed securities, three debt securities issued by a U.S. Government federal agency and one taxable municipal security. The unrealized losses at June 30, 2015 are attributable to changes in market interest rates since the Company acquired the securities.  As management has the ability and the intent to hold debt securities until maturity, the declines are deemed to be not other-than-temporary.

As of June 30, 2015 (unaudited) and September 30, 2014, and during the nine months and year then ended, respectively, the Company had no loans categorized as impaired.

There were no loans modified during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 (unaudited) or during the year ended September 30, 2014 that met the definition of a troubled debt restructured loan as described in ASC 310-40.

As of June 30, 2015 (unaudited) there were no residential real estate loans in the process of foreclosure.

Credit Quality Information

The Company utilizes an eight grade internal loan rating system for commercial real estate, construction and commercial loans as follows:

Loans rated 1 - 4:  Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans and conform in all respects to Company and regulatory requirements.  These are also loans for which no repayment risk has been identified.  Credit or collateral exceptions are minimal, are in the process of correction or do not represent significant risk.

Loans rated 5:  Loans in this category are considered “special mention” and are fundamentally sound, but exhibit potentially unwarranted credit risk or other unsatisfactory characteristics.  The likelihood of loss to the Company is remote.

Loans rated 6:  Loans in this category are considered “substandard” and are inadequately protected by current sound net worth, paying capacity of the obligor, or the value of pledged collateral. Loans in this category also include those loans with unsatisfactory characteristics indicating higher levels of risk.  The combination of one or more of these characteristics increases the possibility of loss to the Company.

Loans rated 7:  Loans in this category are considered “doubtful.”  Loans in this category exhibit weaknesses inherent in the substandard classification and, in addition, collection or liquidation in full is highly questionable.

Loans rated 8:  Loans in this category are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as an asset is not warranted.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial real estate, construction and commercial loans.  For all residential real estate and consumer loans, the Company initially assesses credit quality based upon the borrower’s ability to service the debt and subsequently monitors these loans based upon the borrower’s payment activity.

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurement — Overall,” provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP.  This guidance also allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis.

In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1 - Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange.  Level 1 also includes U.S. Treasury, other U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active markets.  Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets.  Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, are not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions.  Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets and liabilities.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.  These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value at June 30, 2015 (unaudited) and September 30, 2014.  The Company did not have any significant transfers of assets between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 (unaudited) and the year ended September 30, 2014.

16

The Company’s investment in mortgage-backed securities and other debt securities available-for-sale is generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  For these securities, we obtain fair value measurements from independent pricing services.  The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the instrument’s terms and conditions.

Level 3 is for assets and liabilities that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence.  In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used.  Subsequent to inception, management only changes Level 3 inputs and assumptions when corroborated by evidence such as transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalization and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt markets, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows.

The following summarizes assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2015 (unaudited) and September 30, 2014:

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with GAAP.  There were no Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 nonrecurring fair value measurements at June 30, 2015 (unaudited) and September 30, 2014.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments shown in the above tables are included in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 (unaudited) and September 30, 2014 under the indicated captions.  Accounting policies related to financial instruments are described below.

ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires that the Company disclose estimated fair value for its financial instruments.  Fair value methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures are as follows:

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

Interest-bearing time deposits with other banks:  Fair values of interest-bearing time deposits with other banks are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current rates for similar types of deposits.

Securities:  Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Loans held-for-sale:  Fair values of loans held-for-sale are estimated based on outstanding investor commitments or, in the absence of such commitments, are based on current investor yield requirements.

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

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

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

Federal Home Loan Bank advances:  Fair values for Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLB) advances are estimated using a discounted cash flow technique that applies interest rates currently being offered on advances to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on FHLB advances.

Off-balance sheet instruments:  The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties.  For fixed-rate loan commitments and the unadvanced portion of loans, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.  The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligation with the counterparties at the reporting date.

NOTE 8 - REGULATORY CAPITAL

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of 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.

19

Effective January 1, 2015 (with a phase-in period of two to four years for certain components), the Bank became subject to new capital regulations adopted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”) and the FDIC, which implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and the changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act.  The new regulations require a new common equity Tier 1 (“CETI”) capital ratio of 4.5%, increase the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio to 6.0% from 4.0%, require a minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.0% and require a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%.  CETI generally consists of common stock and retained earnings, subject to applicable adjustments and deductions.  Under new prompt corrective action regulations, in order to be considered “well capitalized,” the Bank must maintain a CETI capital ratio of 6.5% (new) and a Tier 1 ratio of 8.0% (increased from 6.0%), a total risk based capital ratio of 10.0% (unchanged) and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.0% (unchanged).  In addition, the regulations establish a capital conservation buffer above the required capital ratios that phases in beginning January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increases each year by 0.625% until it is fully phased in at 2.5% effective January 1, 2019.  Beginning January 1, 2016, failure to maintain the capital conservation buffer will limit the ability of the Bank and the Company to pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses.

The new regulations implemented changes to what constitutes regulatory capital.  Certain instruments will no longer constitute qualifying capital, subject to phase-out periods.  In addition, Tier 2 capital is no longer limited to the amount of Tier 1 capital included in total capital.  Mortgage servicing rights, certain deferred tax assets and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries over designated percentages of CETI will be deducted from capital.  The Bank has elected to permanently opt out of the inclusion of accumulated other comprehensive income in capital calculations, as permitted by the regulations.  This opt-out will reduce the impact of market volatility on our regulatory capital ratios.

The new regulations also changed the risk weights of certain assets, including an increase in the risk weight of certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans and non-residential mortgage loans that are 90 days past due or on non-accrual status to 150% from 100%, a credit conversion factor for the unused portion of commitments with maturities of less than one year that are not cancellable to 20% from 0%, an increase in the risk weight for mortgage servicing and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital to 250% from 100%, and an increase in the risk weight for equity exposures to 600% from 0%.

As of June 30, 2015 (unaudited), the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table below.

NOTE 9 - OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

GAAP generally requires that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income.  Although certain changes in assets and liabilities are reported as a separate component of the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets, such items, along with net income (loss), are components of comprehensive income (loss).

The components of other comprehensive income (loss), included in stockholders’ equity, are as follows during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (unaudited):

NOTE 10 — SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

Shareholders of Meetinghouse Bancorp Inc. approved the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) on February 9, 2014, and the Board of Directors ratified the vote on April 15, 2014. Under the Plan, the Company may grant restricted stock awards and options to employees, officers and directors. On May 19, 2015, the Board of Directors issued 59,509 options to its officers and directors, all of which remained outstanding at June 30, 2015. Under the 2014 Plan, option grants generally vest over a seven-year period and expire ten years from the date of grant. Compensation cost is based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The fair value of awards that grant the employee the right to purchase the underlying shares once the vesting conditions are met is measured using a Black-Scholes model. The assumptions for the Black-Scholes model used to calculate the fair value of the options granted are as follows:

21

Weighted average fair value of stock options granted:	$	4.79
Assumptions used to determine fair value:
Dividend yield:	0		%
Risk free rate of return:	2.26		%
Expected life of options (years):	10
Expected volatility:	21.57		%

The total compensation expense related to options granted for the nine month period ended June 30, 2015 was $4,000.  As of June 30, 2015, there is $281,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to options granted which is to be recognized over the remaining vesting period of 6.89 years.

On May 19, 2015, the Board of Directors granted stock awards in the amount of 7,669 shares to its management and employees. The awards vest over a three-year period. The total compensation expense related to stock awards granted for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2015 was $64,000. As of June 30, 2015, there is $261,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock awards granted which is to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.4 years.

The Bank has adopted a tax-qualified ESOP for the benefit of eligible employees.  Effective November 19, 2012, the Bank converted from a Massachusetts-chartered mutual co-operative bank to a Massachusetts-chartered stock co-operative bank and become the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  The Company completed its initial public offering in connection with the conversion transaction by selling a total of 661,250 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share in a subscription offering, of which 27,700 shares were purchased by the Bank’s ESOP.  The ESOP acquired an additional 18,587 shares in the open market subsequent to the conversion.

The ESOP funded its stock purchase through a loan from the Company equal to 100% of the aggregate purchase price of the common stock. The ESOP trustee will repay the loan principally through the Bank’s contributions to the ESOP and, possibly, dividends paid on common stock held by the plan over a 6-year loan term.

The trustee holds the shares purchased in a loan suspense account and will release the shares from the suspense account on a pro rata basis as it repays the loan. The trustee will allocate the shares released among active participants on the basis of each active participant’s proportional share of compensation for the plan year. Generally, participants will receive distributions from the ESOP upon separation from service. The trustee will reallocate any unvested shares of common stock forfeited by participants upon their separation from service among the remaining participants in the plan.

Under applicable accounting requirements, the Company will record a compensation expense for the ESOP at the fair market value of the shares when they are committed to be released from the suspense account to participants’ accounts under the plan.

At June 30, 2015 (unaudited), the remaining principal balance on the ESOP debt is $332,000 and the number of shares held by the ESOP is 46,287.

Total compensation expense recognized in connection with the ESOP was $26,000 and $22,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively (unaudited), and $76,000 and $69,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively (unaudited).

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2015 (unaudited) and September 30, 2014

Total Assets. Total assets increased by $7.8 million, from $109.2 million at September 30, 2014 to $117.0 million at June 30, 2015, primarily due to an increase in loans held-for-sale of $4.6 million and an increase in loans, net, of $5.1 million. These increases were primarily offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $1.6 million.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.6 million, from $5.9 million at September 30, 2014 to $4.3 million at June 30, 2015, in order to fund new loan originations.

Interest-Bearing Time Deposits in Other Banks. These deposits decreased by $300,000, from $2.0 million at September 30, 2014 to $1.7 million at June 30, 2015.  We maintain funds in these accounts in order to improve the yield earned on excess liquidity.

Securities. Our securities portfolio consists primarily of residential mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies and government sponsored enterprises. Investments in available-for-sale securities decreased by $98,000, from $16.6 million at September 30, 2014 to $16.5 million at June 30, 2015.  The decrease is primarily due to repayments, net of purchases, of mortgage-backed securities.

Loans Held-for-Sale. Loans held-for-sale increased by $4.6 million, from $2.7 million at September 30, 2014 to $7.3 million at June 30, 2015, primarily due to the timing of loan closings and fundings.

Loans, Net. Loans, net, increased by $5.1 million, from $77.0 million at September 30, 2014 to $82.1 million at June 30, 2015. This increase was primarily due to new loans originated, net of repayments.

Deposits. Our primary sources of funds are retail deposit accounts held primarily by individuals and businesses within our primary market area. Total deposits increased by $9.1 million, from $87.5 million at September 30, 2014 to $96.6 million at June 30, 2015, primarily due to a $4.2 million increase in certificates of deposit and a $3.8 million increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts due to growth in business checking accounts.

The following table sets forth the balances of our deposit products at the dates indicated:

Borrowings. We generally use borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston to supplement our supply of funds for originating loans and purchasing securities. Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2015 were $9.5 million. Total borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2014 were $11.0 million.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following tables (unaudited) set forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest and dividend income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The total increase (decrease) column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionally based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased by $195,000, from $166,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $361,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to an increase in mortgage banking activities from $99,000 to $247,000. The increase in mortgage banking activities was primarily due to increased volume of loans sold in the secondary market.

Noninterest income increased by $379,000, from $580,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 to $959,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to an increase in mortgage banking activities from $319,000 to $626,000. The increase in mortgage banking activities was primarily due to increased volume of loans sold in the secondary market.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased by $188,000, from $930,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefit expense of $105,000 for salary adjustments and increased costs of employee benefits and compensation expense associated with restricted stock awards. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $50,000, primarily due to increased snow removal expenses.

Noninterest expense increased by $453,000, from $2.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 to $3.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefit expense of $250,000 for salary adjustments, increased costs of employee benefits and compensation expense associated with restricted stock awards. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $78,000 primarily due to increased snow removal expenses. Data processing increased $41,000 primarily due to increase utilization of check processing services by business customers.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit). Income tax expense increased by $56,000, from ($42,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $14,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, due to the increase in pre-tax income for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The effective tax rate was (34.4%) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 53.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Income tax expense increased by $159,000, from ($80,000) for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 to $79,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, due to the increase in pre-tax income for the nine months ended June 30, 2015. The effective tax rate was (34.3%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and the effective tax rate was 42.0% for the nine months ended June 30, 2015.

Analysis of Nonperforming and Classified Assets.    We consider repossessed assets and loans that are 90 days or more past due or on nonaccrual to be non-performing assets. Residential real estate loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due or are in the process of foreclosure, at which time the accrual of interest ceases and the allowance for any uncollectible accrued interest is established and charged against interest income. All closed-end consumer loans 90 days or more past due and equity lines in the process of foreclosure are placed on nonaccrual status. Secured consumer loans are written down to realizable value and unsecured consumer loans are charged-off upon reaching 120 or 180 days past due depending on the type of loan. Commercial real estate loans and commercial business loans and leases which are 90 days or more past due are placed on nonaccrual status, unless secured by sufficient cash or other assets immediately convertible to cash. Typically, when a loan has been placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against interest on loans. A loan can be returned to accrual status when collectability of principal is reasonably assured based on our determination that the event of delinquency was a one-time incident.

Real estate that we acquire as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until it is sold. When property is acquired it is recorded at fair market value at the date of foreclosure. Any holding costs and changes in fair value after acquisition of the property are reflected in income.

The following table provides information with respect to our nonperforming assets, including troubled debt restructurings, at the dates indicated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Management.  Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term and long-term nature. The Bank’s primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities, and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and prepayments on loans are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

29

Management regularly adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon an assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and (4) the objectives of our interest rate risk and investment policies.

The Bank’s most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, and U.S. government federal agencies and mortgage-backed securities. The levels of these assets depend on the Bank’s operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period.  At June 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.3 million.  Securities classified as available-for-sale provide additional sources of liquidity and had a market value of $16.5 million at June 30, 2015.  In addition, at June 30, 2015, the Bank had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $26.4 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.  At June 30, 2015, the Bank had borrowings outstanding of $9.5 million.  At June 30, 2015, the Bank also had the ability to borrow $4.8 million from the Co-operative Central Bank, none of which was outstanding at that date. In addition, the Bank had a $500,000 line of credit available from Bankers’ Bank Northeast. At June 30, 2015, the Bank had no borrowings outstanding under this credit facility.

At June 30, 2015, the Bank had $9.6 million in loan commitments outstanding, which consisted of commitments to originate loans, available lines of credit, standby letters of credit and unadvanced funds on construction loans. Certificates of deposit due within one year after June 30, 2015 totaled $37.4 million, or 69.1% of total time deposits.  If these maturing deposits are not renewed, the Bank will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, the Bank may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than the Bank currently pays on the certificates of deposit. Management believes, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will be renewed.  The Bank has the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity to pay its operating expenses and other financial obligations, to pay any dividends and to repurchase any of its outstanding common stock.  The Company’s primary source of income is dividends received from the Bank.  Under Massachusetts banking law, the amount of dividends that the Bank may declare and pay to the Company in any calendar year, without receipt of prior approval from the Commissioner of Banks of Massachusetts, cannot exceed the total of its net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits of the preceding two years, less any required transfer to surplus or a fund for the retirement of any preferred stock.  At June 30, 2015, the Company (unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $964,000.

Contractual Obligations. The Company has entered into a non-cancellable lease agreement pertaining to the Roslindale branch facility. The term of the lease commenced on February 1, 2013 and expires on January 31, 2018.

Capital Management.  The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories.  At June 30, 2015, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements to be considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.  See note 8 of the notes to condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our financial statements.  These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit.

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

30

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

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. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness 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 borrower. Collateral held varies but usually includes income-producing commercial properties or residential real estate.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance by a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  The Company’s outstanding letters of credit generally have a term of less than one year. If a letter of credit is drawn upon, the Company may seek recourse through the customer’s underlying line of credit. If the customer’s line of credit is also in default, the Company may take possession of the collateral, if any, securing the line of credit.

Notional amounts of financial instrument liabilities with off-balance sheet credit risk are as follows (in thousands):

	June 30,		September 30,
	2015		2014
	(unaudited)
Commitments to originate loans	$	3,466	$	1,114
Unadvanced funds on lines of credit	5,423		5,259
Unadvanced funds on construction loans	571		527
Standby letters of credit	149		149
	$	9,609	$	7,049

There is no material difference between the notional amount and the estimated fair value of the off-balance sheet liabilities.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

This item is not applicable as the Company is a smaller reporting company.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”).  Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In addition, based on that evaluation, no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
