NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Georgetown Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation, (the “Company”) were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and with Regulation S-X and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods, including the entire fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the December 31, 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements presented in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2015. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Georgetown Bank (the “Bank”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Georgetown Securities Corporation, which engages in the buying, selling and holding of securities. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements consider events that occurred through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

(2) Corporate Structure

In conjunction with its reorganization into the mutual holding company structure, on January 5, 2005, the Bank (1) converted to a stock savings bank as the successor to the Bank in its mutual form; (2) organized Georgetown Bancorp, Inc. (“Georgetown Federal”) as a federally-chartered corporation that owned 100% of the common stock of the Bank (in stock form); and (3) organized Georgetown Bancorp, MHC as a federally-chartered mutual holding company that owned 56.7% of the common stock of Georgetown Federal as of June 30, 2012. On November 28, 2011, the Boards of Directors of Georgetown Federal, Georgetown Bancorp, MHC and the Bank each unanimously adopted a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization of the Mutual Holding Company pursuant to which Georgetown Bancorp, MHC undertook a “second-step” conversion and now ceases to exist. Georgetown Bancorp, MHC reorganized from a two-tier mutual holding company structure to a fully public stock holding company structure effective July 11, 2012, and, as a result, the Bank is now the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Table of Contents

(3) Earnings Per Common Share

The Company has adopted the Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) guidance included in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260-10. As presented below, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. For purposes of computing diluted EPS, the treasury stock method is used.

Unallocated ESOP shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.

Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following.

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2015			2014
	(In thousands, except share and per share data)

Net income available to common stockholders	$	250		$	275

Basic common shares:
Weighted average shares outstanding	1,793,805			1,791,850
Less: Weighted average unallocated ESOP shares	(86,250		)	(93,490		)
Add: Weighted average unvested restricted shares with non-forfeitable dividend rights	40,278			40,174
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	1,747,833			1,738,534

Dilutive potential common shares	11,612			6,352

Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	1,759,445			1,744,886

Basic earnings per share	$	0.14		$	0.16

Diluted earnings per share	$	0.14		$	0.16

Options to purchase 61,681 shares, representing outstanding options granted in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. Options to purchase 30,000 shares that were granted in 2015 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, because to do so would have been antidilutive. Options to purchase 52,924 shares, representing outstanding options that were granted in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. Options to purchase 22,000 shares that were granted in 2014 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, because to do so would have been antidilutive.

(4) 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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. The Company is currently reviewing this ASU to determine if it will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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

Table of Contents

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.

Each reporting period, the Company evaluates all securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity with a decline in fair value below the amortized cost of the investment to determine whether or not the impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary (“OTTI”).

At March 31, 2015 five securities classified as available for sale had an unrealized loss with aggregate depreciation of 0.60% from the securities’ amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in state and municipal bonds and residential mortgage backed securities were primarily caused by changes in interest rates and not by credit quality. Many of these investments are guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and as management has not decided to sell these securities, nor is it likely that the Company will be required to sell these securities, no declines are deemed to be OTTI.

Table of Contents

There were two loan modifications made to the same borrower that resulted in the classification of a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) during the three months ended March 31, 2015, and the TDRs did not result in a material impact to the allowance for loan losses account. The first loan, a commercial business loan with a pre-modification and post-modification balance of $131,000 at March 31, 2015, was restructured to extend the original maturity date for an additional 10 years and the interest rate was reduced. The second loan, a commercial business loan with a pre-modification and post-modification balance of $4,000 at March 31, 2015, was restructured into a two year amortizing note and the interest rate was reduced. There is no commitment to lend additional funds to the borrower whose loans were modified during the three months ended March 31, 2015. There were no loan modifications made that resulted in a TDR during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were no TDR loans in default of their modified terms.

Table of Contents

Credit Quality Information

The Bank utilizes a nine grade internal loan rating system for all commercial and construction loans as follows:

Loans rated 1 - 5: Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.

Loans rated 6: Loans in this category are considered “special mention.” These loans have risk profiles that are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

Loans rated 7: Loans in this category are considered “substandard.” These loans have a well defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt and is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or pledged collateral. There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Loans rated 8: Loans in this category are considered “doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans rated 9: Loans in this category are considered a “loss.” The loan has been determined to be uncollectible and the chance of loss is inevitable. Loans in this category will be charged-off.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Bank formally reviews the ratings on all commercial and construction loans. For residential real estate and consumer loans, the Bank initially assesses credit quality based on the borrower’s ability to pay and subsequently monitors these loans based on the borrower’s payment activity; however, these loans are not formally risk-rated.

Loans serviced for others and mortgage servicing rights

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of mortgage loans serviced for others were $111.1 million and $113.4 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

The risks inherent in the mortgage servicing assets relate primarily to changes in prepayments that result from shifts in mortgage interest rates. The fair value of servicing rights was $1.2 million and $1.4 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and was determined using the moving average 10-year, U.S. Treasury rate plus 5.0%, adjusted to reflect the current credit spreads and conditions in the market as a discount rate. Prepayment assumptions, which are impacted by loan rates and terms, are calculated using a moving average of prepayment data published by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association and an independent third party proprietary analysis of prepayment rates embedded in liquid mortgage securities markets and modeled against the serviced loan portfolio by the independent third party valuation specialist.

The following summarizes mortgage servicing rights capitalized and amortized, along with the aggregate activity-related valuation allowances.

(7) Secured Borrowings and Collateral

Federal Home Loan Bank advances

At March 31, 2015 all Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLB”) advances were secured by a blanket security agreement on qualified collateral, principally first mortgage loans on owner-occupied residential property in the amount of $72.1 million, and mortgage-backed securities with a fair value of $17.3 million.

(8) Fair Value Measurements

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 as follows:

Level l - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level l assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. At March 31, 2015, the Company had no assets or liabilities valued using Level 1 measurements.

Level 2 - Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level l prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

All of the Company’s securities that are measured at fair value are included in Level 2 and are based on pricing models from independent, third party pricing services that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, credit spreads and new issue data. There are no liabilities measured at fair value. All of the Company’s impaired loans that are measured at fair value are included in Level 3 and are based on the appraised value of the underlying collateral considering discounting factors, if deemed appropriate, and adjusted for selling costs. These appraised values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, expertise or changes in market conditions from time of valuation. The Company did not have any significant transfers of assets or liabilities to or from Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three month period ended March 31, 2015.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are summarized below.

The Company may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are summarized below. The fair value adjustments relate to the amount of write-down recorded or related allowance recorded as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Table of Contents

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term investments approximate fair values.

Securities: Fair values for the Company’s debt securities are based on pricing models that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, credit spreads and new issue data.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock: Fair value is based on redemption provisions of the FHLB. The FHLB stock has no quoted market value.

Loans held for sale: Fair value is based on committed secondary market prices.

Loans: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for other 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 impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Capitalized mortgage servicing rights: Fair value is based on a quarterly, independent third-party valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model utilizes a variety of assumptions, the most significant of which are loan prepayment assumptions and the discount rate used to discount future cash flows. Prepayment assumptions, which are impacted by loan rates and terms, are calculated using a moving average of prepayment data published by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association and a third party proprietary analysis of prepayment rates embedded in liquid mortgage securities markets and modeled against the serviced loan portfolio by the independent third party valuation specialist. The discount rate is the moving average 10-year, U.S. Treasury rate plus 5.0% and adjusted to reflect the current credit spreads and conditions in the market. Other assumptions include delinquency rates, foreclosure rates, servicing cost inflation, and annual unit loan cost. All assumptions are adjusted periodically to reflect current circumstances and all are obtained from independent market sources.

Deposits: The fair values for non-certificate accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date which is the carrying amount. Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Short-term FHLB advances: The fair value of short-term FHLB advances approximates carrying value, as they generally mature within 90 days.

Long-term FHLB advances: The fair value for long-term FHLB advances is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current market borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Accrued interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

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. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of commitments outstanding is not significant since fees charged are not material.

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

This document may contain certain forward-looking statements, such as statements of the Company’s or the Bank’s plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “expects,” “subject,” and “believe,” “will,” “intends,” “will be” or “would.” These statements are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s or the Bank’s control) and actual results may differ materially. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis of factors only as of the date of which they are given. These factors include general economic conditions, trends in interest rates, the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans, the ability of the Company or the Bank to effectively manage its growth, and results of regulatory examinations, among other factors. The foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Except as required by applicable law and regulation, the Company does not undertake — and specifically disclaims any obligation — to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Overview

The Company’s results of operations depend primarily on net interest and dividend income, which is the difference between the interest and dividend income earned on its interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense on its interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and FHLB advances. The Company also generates non-interest income, primarily from fees and service charges and mortgage banking income. The Company’s non-interest expense primarily consists of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, advertising, data processing, professional fees and other operating expenses.

We continued to maintain strong asset quality, as non-performing assets to total assets was 0.40% at March 31, 2015. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased $25,000, or 9.1% compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease in net income was driven by the increase in the provision for loan losses and the decrease in non-interest income, partially offset by an increase in net interest and dividend income. Net interest and dividend income increased primarily due to an increase in average loans outstanding. The provision for loan losses totaled $27,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to no provision for loan losses during the same period in 2014. Non-interest income decreased $21,000, or 8.6%, primarily due to a decline in mortgage banking income. Mortgage banking income has declined, as the volume of residential loan sales has been negatively affected by a soft real estate market and lower loan refinancing volumes. The Company continues to focus on generating commercial loans, core deposit growth and increasing operating efficiencies, which we believe will build long-term stockholder value. To support the continued growth of our commercial loans, we opened a Loan Production Office (“LPO”) in southern New Hampshire during September 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assumptions by management and that have, or could have, a material impact on our income or the carrying value of our assets. Our critical accounting policies are those related to our allowance for loan losses and the valuation of our deferred tax assets.

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 monthly basis by management and is based upon management’s monthly review of the collectability of the loans in light of known and inherent risks in 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. Additionally, as part of the evaluation of the level of the allowance for loan losses, on a quarterly basis management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including, but not limited to, charge-off history, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance for loan losses consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance for loan losses is established when the discounted cash flows or the fair value of the existing collateral (less costs to sell) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component may be maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank 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

Table of Contents

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.

We 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. All troubled debt restructurings are initially classified as impaired.

Adjustable-rate mortgage loans decrease the risk associated with changes in market interest rates by periodically repricing, but involve other risks because, as interest rates increase, the underlying payments by the borrower increase, thus increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustment of the contractual interest rate is also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents and, therefore, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgage loans may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates.

Loans secured by commercial real estate, multi-family and one- to four-family investment properties generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate, including multi-family and one- to four-family investment properties, are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value.

Construction and development financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Additionally, if the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project, when completed, having a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment.

Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when, based upon the available evidence including historical and projected taxable income, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

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

Total assets increased $2.0 million, or 0.7%, to $273.0 million at March 31, 2015 from $271.0 million at December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to increases in cash and cash equivalents and securities available for sale, offset by decreases in loans held for sale and other assets.

Cash and cash equivalents increased 2.3 million, or 46.9%, to $7.2 million at March 31, 2015 from $4.9 million at December 31, 2014. This temporary increase resulted from the timing of normal cash flows.

Loans, net (excluding loans held for sale) increased $69,000 to $231.4 million at March 31, 2015 from $231.3 million at December 31, 2014, due primarily to an increase in commercial loans, partially offset by a decrease in residential mortgage loans and construction loans. Despite the current competitive market, we have decided to maintain our historically high underwriting standards instead of relaxing these standards, and we have not reduced loan rates below levels at which we could not operate profitably. Commercial loans increased $3.8 million, or 3.7%, to $107.2 million at March 31, 2015 from $103.4 million at December 31, 2014, primarily due to a $1.7 million, or 2.8%, increase in commercial real estate loans, a $1.6 million, or 10.6%, increase in multi-family real estate loans and a $471,000, or 2.6%, increase in commercial business loans. Construction loans decreased by $2.7 million, or 9.2%, to $26.1 million at March 31, 2015 from $28.7 million at December 31, 2014, primarily due to a $2.9 million, or 26.5%, decrease in multi-family construction loans. The majority of our construction loans remain collateralized by residential real estate (81.2% at March 31, 2015 and 83.2% at December 31, 2014). One- to four-family residential mortgage loans decreased $1.1 million, or 1.4%, to $83.1 million at March 31, 2015 from $84.2 million at December 31, 2014. Home equity loans increased $177,000, or 1.1%, to $16.7 million at March 31, 2015 from $16.5 million at December 31, 2014.

Our total securities portfolio increased $2.0 million, or 9.6%, to $22.3 million at March 31, 2015 from $20.4 million at December 31, 2014, as we invested primarily in available for sale mortgage-backed securities.

Deposits increased $7.5 million, or 4.1%, to $189.9 million at March 31, 2015 from $182.4 million at December 31, 2014. Money market accounts increased $3.5 million, or 6.7%, NOW accounts increased $1.3 million, or 4.4%, savings accounts increased $653,000, or 4.6%, and demand deposits increased $465,000, or 1.7%. Certificates of deposit increased $1.5 million, or 4.1%, as an increase of $3.5 million, or

Table of Contents

12.1%, in funds gathered through the use of a deposit listing service was partially offset by a decrease in retail certificates of deposit of $2.0 million, or 6.5%. Management continues to focus on the generation of core checking accounts.

Total FHLB advances decreased $8.8 million, or 16.0%, to $45.9 million at March 31, 2015 compared to $54.6 million at December 31, 2014. Short-term advances decreased $13.8 million and long-term advances increased $5.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Management continued to extend the maturities of our short-term FHLB advances, reflecting expectations that short-term rates will increase in the near-term.

Stockholders’ equity increased $262,000, or 0.9%, to $31.0 million at March 31, 2015 from $30.7 million at December 31, 2014. The increase resulted primarily from net income of $250,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and other comprehensive income, partially offset by dividend payments. The other comprehensive income, net of taxes, of $45,000 reflects the change in net unrealized gains/losses, net of taxes, on securities available for sale from a net unrealized gain of $143,000 at December 31, 2014 to a net unrealized gain of $188,000 at March 31, 2015. Dividend payments totaled $73,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Total delinquent loans decreased $1.3 million, from $1.6 million at December 31, 2014 to $346,000 at March 31, 2015, primarily in residential one- to four-family loans.

Non-performing assets increased $143,000 to $1.1 million at March 31, 2015 compared to $1.0 million at December 31, 2014. The increase was related to the restructuring of two commercial business loans to the same borrower. All of the non-performing assets at March 31, 2015 were current loans, which were classified as non-performing until consistent loan payment history is established. Total non-performing assets represented 0.40% of total assets at March 31, 2015 compared to 0.35% of total assets at December 31, 2014.

Loans classified as substandard increased $135,000 to $2.0 million at March 31, 2015 from $1.9 million at December 31, 2014. The increase in substandard loans was primarily due to the restructuring of two commercial business loans to the same borrower.

The allowance for loan losses increased $27,000 to $2.3 million at March 31, 2015 primarily due to the change in the mix of the loan portfolio. Loan charge-offs were $1,000 and recoveries were $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to loan charge-offs of $211,000 and no loan recoveries for the same period in 2014. The allowance represented 0.97% of total loans at March 31, 2015 and 0.96% of total loans at December 31, 2014. At these levels, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 205.84% at March 31, 2015 and 233.89% at December 31, 2014.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

General. Net income decreased $25,000, or 9.1%, to $250,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to net income of $275,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in net income was caused by a decrease in non-interest income and an increase in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase in net interest and dividend income.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased $88,000, or 3.2%, to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to an increase in interest income on loans. Interest income on loans increased $85,000, or 3.2%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, due to a $4.9 million, or 2.2%, increase in the average balance of loans and by a five basis point increase in yield to 4.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 4.61% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Interest and dividend income on investment securities increased $2,000, or 1.5%, to $139,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $137,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to a $1.0 million, or 4.6%, increase in the average balance of investment securities for the three months ended March 31, 2015, partially offset by an eight basis point decrease in yield to 2.41% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 2.49% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in investment securities was in residential mortgage-backed securities.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $59,000, or 17.4%, to $398,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $339,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Interest expense on deposits increased $42,000, or 21.6%, to $236,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $194,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $5.2 million, or 3.4%, to $158.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $153.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and by an increase in the average rate we paid on interest-bearing deposits to 0.59% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 0.51% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to money market deposits. Interest expense on money market deposits increased $36,000, or 314.8%, to $48,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $12,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to an increase in the average balance in money market deposits of $10.3 million, or 23.7%, to $53.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $43.4 million for the same period in 2014 and by an increase in the average rate we paid on money market deposits to 0.36% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 0.11% for the same period in 2014. We began to promote a new money market product during the second half of 2014.

Interest expense on FHLB advances increased $17,000, or 11.7%, to $162,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $145,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to the average rate we paid, which increased nineteen basis points to 1.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 1.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, partially offset by a $2.8 million, or 5.1%, decrease in the average outstanding balance of advances to $51.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $54.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The average outstanding balance of long-term advances increased $6.3 million, or 28.0%, to $28.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $22.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the average outstanding balance of short-term advances decreased $9.1 million, or 28.4%, to $23.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $32.1 million for the same period in 2014, as we continued to extend the maturities of our short-term FHLB advances, reflecting expectations that short-term rates will increase in the near-term.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income increased $29,000, or 1.2%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in net interest income was primarily the result of a $5.3 million, or 11.5%, increase in net average interest-earning assets to $51.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, from $45.9 million for the same period in 2014, partially offset by a six basis point decrease in net interest margin to 3.76% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 3.82% for the same period in 2014. Our net interest margin may compress in the future due to competitive pricing in our market area and due to a rising interest rate environment.

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial statements. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses quarterly, management analyzes several quantitative and qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including but not limited to, charge-off history over a relevant period, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. After an evaluation of these factors, we recorded a $27,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to no provision being recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2014. We recorded $1,000 in loan charge-offs and $1,000 in loan recoveries during the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $211,000 in loan charge-offs and no loan recoveries during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The allowance for loan losses was $2.3 million, or 0.97%, of total loans and 205.84% of non-performing loans at March 31, 2015, compared to an allowance for loan losses of $2.2 million, or 0.96%, of total loans and 233.89% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2014. For additional information please refer to Note 6 Loans and Servicing.

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $21,000, or 8.6%, to $222,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $243,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to a decrease in mortgage banking income. Mortgage banking income decreased $20,000, or 47.6%, to $22,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $42,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Based on a change in our business strategy, we no longer intend to expand our residential mortgage banking operation.

Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $17,000, or 0.8%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2014. Salaries and benefits expense decreased $11,000, or 0.9%. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $26,000, or 10.3%, primarily due to expenses associated with our LPO which opened in September 2014. Data processing expenses decreased $12,000, or 7.0%, primarily due to a reduction in one-time implementation fees expensed during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. Professional fees decreased $22,000, or 15.3%, primarily due to a reduction in legal expenses. Other general and administrative expenses increased $37,000, or 12.4%, and included $38,000 related to a legal settlement with a customer and $37,000 in recruitment expenses related to the hiring of additional commercial lending staff, partially offset by a $21,000 reduction in losses associated with fraudulent debit card transactions..

Income Tax Expense. The income before income taxes of $399,000 resulted in income tax expense of $149,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to income before income taxes of $435,000 resulting in an income tax expense of $160,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The effective income tax rate was 37.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 36.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Average Balance Sheet. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Company’s average balance sheet for the periods indicated, including the average annualized yields on its interest-earning assets and the average annualized costs of its interest-bearing liabilities. Average yields are calculated by dividing the annualized interest and dividend income produced by the average balance of interest-earning assets. Average costs are calculated by dividing the annualized interest expense produced by the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The average balances for the period are derived from average balances that are calculated daily. The average annualized yields and costs include fees that are considered adjustments to such average yields and costs.

Liquidity Management. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and maturities and sales of residential loans and investment securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term securities. The excess cash and cash equivalent balances are expected to be used to fund increases in loans and securities.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2015, cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.2 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $21.5 million at March 31, 2015. Our policies also allow for access to the wholesale funds market for up to 50.0% of total assets, or $136.5 million. At March 31, 2015, we had $45.9 million in FHLB advances outstanding, $31.3 million in certificates of deposit obtained through a listing service and $1.2 million in brokered certificates of deposit, allowing the Company access to an additional $58.1 million in wholesale funds based on policy guidelines.

At March 31, 2015 we had $6.0 million in loan commitments outstanding. In addition to commitments to originate loans, we had $35.5 million in unadvanced funds to borrowers

At March 31, 2015 we had $1.0 million in outstanding irrevocable stand-by letters of credit. These letters of credit, which have terms of twelve months, collateralize specific municipal deposits. The fair value of these letters of credit approximate contract values based on the nature of the fee arrangements with the FHLB.

Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2015 totaled $24.6 million, or 13.0% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit or other wholesale funding options. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other advances than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before March 31, 2016. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

We have no material commitments or demands that are likely to affect our liquidity other than set forth below. In the event loan demand were to increase at a pace greater than expected, or any unforeseen demand or commitment were to occur, we would access our borrowing capacity with the FHLB and other wholesale market sources.

Our primary investing activities are the origination and purchase of loans and the purchase of securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we originated $15.1 million in loans.

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts, FHLB advances and to a lesser extend the sale of residential mortgages. We experienced a net increase in total deposits of $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive. FHLB advances reflected a net decrease of $8.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015. FHLB advances have primarily been used to fund loan demand and deposit outflows. We sold $2.1 million in conforming residential mortgage loans for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Capital Management.

In July 2013, the OCC and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that has revised their leverage and risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Among other things, the rule established a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), increased the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assigns a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The final rule also requires unrealized gains and losses on certain “available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements unless a one-time opt-in or opt-out is exercised. The rule limits a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The final rule also implements the Dodd-Frank Act’s directive to apply to savings and loan holding companies consolidated capital requirements that are not less stringent than those applicable to their subsidiary institutions. The final rule was effective January 1, 2015. The “capital conservation buffer” will be phased in from January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2019, when the full capital conservation buffer will be effective.

At March 31, 2015, Georgetown Bank met each of its capital requirements and was considered “well-capitalized”, and also met each of its capital requirements on a fully phased-in basis.
