Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

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 Richmond Realty Trust. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

On January 17, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted a plan of conversion under which the Bank would convert from a Massachusetts-chartered mutual co-operative bank to a Massachusetts-chartered stock co-operative bank and become the wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly chartered stock holding company, Meetinghouse Bancorp, Inc. (“the Company”). The conversion was subject to approval by the Federal Reserve Board and the Massachusetts Division of Banks, non-objection by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and approval by the depositors of the Bank, and included the filing of a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Such approvals and non-objections were obtained and, effective November 19, 2012, 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 Company’s employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”). An additional 18,587 shares were purchased by the ESOP in the open market subsequent to the initial public offering.

The cost of conversion and issuing the capital stock has been deducted from the proceeds of the offering. The Company incurred $961,000 in conversion costs which were netted against the proceeds of the initial public offering.

The 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 Article 8 of SEC 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 information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation. The results shown for the interim period ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the 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, 2013 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the 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 January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01,”Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects.” The amendments in this ASU apply to all reporting entities that invest in qualified affordable housing projects through limited liability entities that are flow-through entities for tax purposes as follows:

1. For reporting entities that meet the conditions for and that elect to use the proportional amortization method to account for investments in qualified affordable housing projects, all amendments in this ASU apply.

2. For reporting entities that do not meet the conditions for or that do not elect the proportional amortization method, only the amendments in this ASU that are related to disclosures apply.

The amendments in this ASU permit reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). For those investments in qualified affordable housing projects not accounted for using the proportional amortization method, the investment should be accounted for as an equity method investment or a cost method investment in accordance with Subtopic 970-323. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. A reporting entity that uses the effective yield method to account for its investments in qualified affordable housing projects before the date of adoption may continue to apply the effective yield method for those preexisting investments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, “Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.” The objective of the amendments in this ASU is to reduce diversity by clarifying when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The amendments in this ASU clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments in this ASU using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” This ASU changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. For public entities, the new guidance is effective in the first quarter of 2015 with calendar year ends. For nonpublic entities, the new guidance is effective for annual financial statements with years that begin

Table of Contents

on or after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The objective of this ASU was 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. Early application is not permitted. For nonpublic entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application is permitted, but no earlier than an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently reviewing this ASU to determine if it will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.” The amendments in this ASU require two accounting changes. First, the amendments in this ASU change the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting. Second, for repurchase financing arrangements, the amendments require separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement. This ASU also includes new disclosure requirements. The accounting changes in this Update are effective for public business entities for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. For all other entities, the accounting changes are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. An entity is required to present changes in accounting for transactions outstanding on the effective date as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Earlier application for a public business entity is prohibited; however, all other entities may elect to apply the requirements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently reviewing this ASU to determine if it will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period.” The amendments in this ASU require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. ASU 2014-12 may be adopted either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements, and to all new or modified awards thereafter. If retrospective transition is adopted, the cumulative effect of applying this update as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at that date. The Company is currently reviewing this ASU to determine if it will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 —LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net 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 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.

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 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, 2014 consist of four debt securities and ten mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government federal agencies and government sponsored enterprises. The unrealized losses at June 30, 2014 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.

There were no loans modified during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 that met the definition of a troubled debt restructured loan as described in ASC 310-40.

Table of Contents

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 and 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 active 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 Measurements and Disclosures,” provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. 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, 2014 (unaudited) and September 30, 2013. 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, 2014 (unaudited) and the year ended September 30, 2013.

Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values.

Interest-bearing time deposits in other banks — The fair value of interest-bearing time deposits in other banks is determined by discounting the cash flows associated with these instruments using current market rates for deposits with similar characteristics.

Securities available-for-sale - 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.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock — The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Boston stock approximates fair value based upon the redemption provisions of the FHLB of Boston.

Loans held-for-sale — Loans originated and held-for-sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. No fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held-for-sale during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (unaudited).

Loans — Fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Table of Contents

Accrued interest receivable — Carrying value approximates fair value.

Deposits — The fair values disclosed for demand deposits, regular savings, NOW accounts and money market accounts are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for certificates of deposit 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 time deposits.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances — Fair values for Federal Home Loan Bank 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 Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Level 3 is for positions 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.

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 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

Table of Contents

classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). As of June 30, 2014 (unaudited) and September 30, 2013, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject.

As of June 30, 2014 (unaudited), the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no known 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, 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, 2014 and 2013 (unaudited):

NOTE 10 — EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

The Bank has adopted a tax-qualified employee stock ownership plan (“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 bacame 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, 2014 (unaudited), the remaining principal balance on the ESOP debt is $409,000 and the number of shares held by the ESOP is 46,287.

Total compensation expense recognized in connection with the ESOP was $23,000 and $19,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively (unaudited), and $69,000 and $43,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively (unaudited).

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

This discussion is intended to assist in understanding the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company. This should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in this report and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are not historical facts; rather they are statements based on the Company’s current expectations regarding its business strategies and their intended results and its future performance. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends” and similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Numerous risks and uncertainties could cause or contribute to the Bank’s actual results, performance and achievements being materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause or contribute to these differences include, without limitation, general economic conditions, including changes in market interest rates and changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government; legislative and regulatory changes; the quality and composition of the loan and investment securities portfolio; loan demand; deposit flows; competition; and changes in accounting principles and guidelines. Additional factors that may affect our results are discussed in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the section titled “Item 1A.- Risk Factors.” These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company assumes no obligation and disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies.

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

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis, at least quarterly, 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 general component of the allowance for loan losses is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors stratified by the following loan segments: owner and non-owner occupied residential real estate, home equity, multi-family, commercial real estate, construction, commercial and consumer. Management uses a rolling average of historical losses based on a time frame appropriate to capture relevant loss data for each loan segment. This historical loss factor is adjusted for the following qualitative factors: levels/trends in delinquencies; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards and other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices; experience/ability/depth of lending management and staff; and national and local economic trends and conditions. There were no changes in the Company’s policies or

Table of Contents

methodology pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended June 30, 2014.

The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

Residential real estate: Residential real estate includes owner and non-owner occupied real estate loans and home equity loans. The Company originates most of the loans in this segment according to FNMA/FHLMC underwriting guidelines. Most loans in this segment are collateralized by residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. There are some non-owner occupied residential real estate loans with multiple investment properties that are evaluated as commercial real estate property.

Commercial real estate: Commercial real estate includes multi-family and certain non-owner occupied residential real estate. Loans in this segment are primarily income-producing properties throughout Massachusetts. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties are adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by increased vacancy rates which, in turn, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Management periodically obtains rent rolls and continually monitors the cash flows of these loans.

Construction loans: Loans in this segment primarily include speculative real estate development loans for which payment is derived from sale of the property. Credit risk is affected by cost overruns, time to sell at an adequate price, and market conditions.

Commercial loans: Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by assets of the business. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. A weakened economy, and resultant decreased consumer spending, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Consumer loans: Loans in this segment are generally unsecured and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.

The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial, commercial real estate and construction loans 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. An allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value) of the impaired loan are lower than the carrying value of that loan. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential real estate loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are subject to a troubled debt restructuring agreement.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

The Company periodically may agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). All TDRs are classified as impaired.

An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating allocated and general reserves in the portfolio.

Table of Contents

Deferred Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities 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. Management reviews deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis to identify any uncertainties pertaining to realization of such assets. In determining whether a valuation allowance is required against deferred tax assets, management assesses historical and forecasted operating results, including a review of eligible carryforward periods, tax planning opportunities and other relevant considerations. We believe the accounting estimate related to the valuation allowance is a critical estimate because the underlying assumptions can change from period to period. For example, tax law changes or variances in future projected operating performance could result in a change in the valuation allowance. Should actual factors and conditions differ materially from those used by management, the actual realization of net deferred tax assets could differ materially from the amounts recorded in the financial statements. If we were not able to realize all or part of our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the related valuation allowance would be charged to income tax expense in the period such determination was made and could have a negative impact on earnings. In addition, if actual factors and conditions differ materially from those used by management, we could incur penalties and interest imposed by taxing authorities.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2014 (unaudited) and September 30, 2013

Total Assets. Total assets increased by $24.3 million, from $77.1 million at September 30, 2013 to $101.4 million at June 30, 2014, primarily due to an increase in loans held-for-sale of $4.8 million, an increase in loans, net, of $12.1 million, and an increase in investments in available-for-sale securities of $9.2 million. This increase was primarily offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 million.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.0 million, from $4.7 million at September 30, 2013 to $3.7 million at June 30, 2014, in order to fund new loan originations and the purchase of available-for-sale securities.

Interest-Bearing Time Deposits in Other Banks. These deposits decreased by $1.1 million, from $4.1 million at September 30, 2013 to $3.0 million at June 30, 2014. 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 increased by $9.2 million, from $5.3 million at September 30, 2013 to $14.5 million at June 30, 2014. The increase is primarily due to purchases, net of repayments, of mortgage-backed securities.

Loans, Net. Loans, net, increased by $12.1 million, from $57.9 million at September 30, 2013 to $70.0 million at June 30, 2014. This increase was primarily due to new loans originated, net of repayments.

Loans Held-for-Sale. Loans held-for-sale increased by $4.8 million, from $749,000 at September 30, 2013 to $5.5 million at June 30, 2014, primarily due to the timing of loan closings and fundings.

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 $15.7 million, from $66.2 million at September 30, 2013 to $81.9 million at June 30, 2014, primarily due to a $11.3 million increase in certificates of deposit and a $2.2 million increase in noninterest-bearing deposits. The increase in certificates of deposit is primarily due to the bank subscribing in February, 2014, to a direct listing service to post rates.

The subscription offers management another source of funds for liquidity purposes as well as obtaining deposits at lower rates than the current local market rates.

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

No Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston borrowings were outstanding at September 30, 2013. Total borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014 were $8.8 million.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (unaudited)

Net Loss. Net loss increased from ($72,000) in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to ($80,000) in the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to a decrease in total noninterest income of $110,000, an increase in provision for loan loss of $13,000, and an increase in noninterest expense of $22,000, and an increase in total interest expense of $22,000, offset by an increase in total interest and dividend income of $164,000.

Net loss increased from ($4,000) in the nine months ended June 30, 2013 to ($153,000) in the nine months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to a decrease in non-interest income of $403,000 and an increase in total non-interest expense of $201,000, offset by an increase in total interest and dividend income of $339,000, an increase in income tax benefit of $63,000 and a decrease in provision for loan losses of $53,000.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased by $110,000 from $276,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $166,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to a decrease in gains on secondary market activities of $88,000, from $190,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $102,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014. This decrease is attributed to a reduction in gains on loans sold due to a reduced volume of loans sold caused by an increase in market interest rates.

Non-interest income decreased by $403,000 from $983,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2013 to $580,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to a decrease in gains on secondary market activities of $400,000, from $714,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2013 to $314,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2014. This decrease is attributed to a reduction in gains on loans sold due to a reduced volume of loans sold caused by an increase in market interest rates.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income increased by $143,000, from $539,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $682,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the increase in loans, net. The average outstanding balance of loans, net increased by $11.9 million, from $57.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $69.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased from 3.80% in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 3.81% in the three months ended June 30, 2014, along with an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets from $70.4 million to $87.5 million. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 0.96% in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 0.85% in the three months ended June 30, 2014. The interest rate spread increased from 2.84% in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 2.96% in the three months ended June 30, 2014.

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.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses increased by $13,000, from $27,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $40,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in the provision was due to the growth of the loan portfolio.

The provision for loan losses decreased by $53,000, from $72,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 to $19,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in the provision was due to the annual review of the loan portfolio resulting in several classification upgrades and a reduction in the reserve percentage for some loan categories, primarily the 1-4 family owner occupied category, offset by the allocation made due to the growth of the loan portfolio.

Analysis of Loan Loss Experience. The following tables set forth an analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated (unaudited).

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased by $110,000, from $276,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $166,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to a decrease in gain on secondary market activities from $190,000 to $102,000. The decrease in gain on secondary market activities was primarily due to decreased volume of loans sold in the secondary market due to an increase in market interest rates.

Noninterest income decreased by $403,000, from $983,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2013 to $580,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to a decrease in gain on secondary market activities from $714,000 to $314,000. The decrease in gain on secondary market activities was primarily due to decreased volume of loans sold in the secondary market due to an increase in market interest rates.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $22,000, from $909,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $931,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014 primarily due to a increase of $66,000 in salaries and benefits expense and a decrease of $31,000 in professional fees.

Noninterest expense increased by at $201,000 from $2.5 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2013 to $2.7 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to an increase of $149,000 in salaries and benefits expense and an increase of $70,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, offset by a decrease of $25,000 in other expens.

Income Tax Benefit. Income tax benefit decreased by $7,000, from ($49,000) in the three months ended June 30, 2013 to ($42,000) in the three months ended June 30, 2014. The effective tax rate was (40.5%) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and (34.4%) for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Income tax benefit increased by $63,000, from ($17,000) in the nine months ended June 30, 2013 to ($80,000) in the nine months ended June 30, 2014, due to an increase in the pre-tax loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The effective tax rate was (80.9%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and (34.3%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2014.

Analysis of Nonperforming and Classified Assets. We consider repossessed assets and loans that are 90 days or more past due 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 revenue. 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.

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, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $3.7 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale provide additional sources of liquidity

Table of Contents

and had a market value of $14.5 million at June 30, 2014. In addition, at June 30, 2014, the Bank had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $16.8 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. At June 30, 2014, the Bank had borrowings outstanding of $8.8 million. At June 30, 2014, the Bank also had the ability to borrow $4.1 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, 2014, the Bank had no borrowings outstanding under this credit facility.

At June 30, 2014, the Bank had $8.9 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, 2014 totaled $25.0 million, or 53% 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, 2014, the Company (on a stand-alone, unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $2.2 million.

Contractual Obligations. The Company has entered into a non-cancellable lease agreement pertaining to the Roslindale branch facility.

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, 2014, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements to be considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. See note 8 of the notes to the 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.

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

Table of Contents

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,
	2014		2013
	(unaudited)
Commitments to originate loans	$	3,828	$	1,880
Unadvanced funds on lines of credit	4,386		2,803
Standby letters of credit	149		149
Unadvanced funds on construction loans	557		307
	$	8,920	$	5,139

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, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is not involved in any pending legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management believes that such routine legal proceedings, in the aggregate, are immaterial to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
