●	general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected;

●	competition among depository and other financial institutions;

●	changes in the prices, values and sales volume of residential and commercial real estate in Montana;

●	inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;

●	adverse changes or volatility in the securities markets;

●	our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;

●	our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses;

●	changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

●	the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of allowance for possible loan losses and other estimates;

●	changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers and their ability to repay their loans when due; and

●	the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters.

Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

PART I

ITEM 1.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

General

Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (“Eagle” or “the Company”), is a Delaware corporation that holds 100% of the capital stock of American Federal Savings Bank (“American Federal” or “the Bank”), a federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Helena, Montana. Eagle’s principal business is to hold the capital stock of American Federal. On April 5, 2010, Eagle completed a second-step conversion from a partially-public mutual holding company structure to a fully publicly-owned stock holding company structure. As part of that transaction it also completed a related stock offering. As a result of the conversion and offering, the Company became the stock holding company for American Federal Savings Bank, and Eagle Financial MHC and Eagle Bancorp ceased to exist. The Company sold a total of 2,464,274 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share in the offering for gross proceeds of $24.6 million. Concurrent with the completion of the offering, each share of Eagle Bancorp common stock owned by the public was exchanged for 3.800 shares of the Company’s common stock owned immediately prior to completion of the transaction.

American Federal was founded in 1922 as a Montana chartered building and loan association and has conducted operations in Helena since that time. In 1975, the Bank adopted a federal thrift charter. The Bank currently has 13 full service offices. We also have seven automated teller machines located in our market area and we participate in the Money Pass® ATM network. Investor information for the Company may be found at www.americanfederalsavingsbank.com. The contents on or accessible through, our website are not incorporated into this report.

The Bank has equity investments in Certified Development Entities which have received allocations of New Markets Tax Credits (“NMTC”). Administered by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The NMTC program is aimed at stimulating economic and community development and job creation in low-income communities. The federal income tax credits received are claimed over a seven-year credit allowance period. The federal tax credit benefits were $380,000 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Recent Developments

On November 30, 2012, the Company completed a significant transaction with Sterling Financial Corporation of Spokane, Washington in which the Company purchased all of Sterling’s retail bank branches in Montana. As a result of this transaction, the Bank’s assets grew to over $500 million and the retail branch network grew from six to 13 branches, with six branches in new markets. As a result of the transaction, total Bank assets increased by 56.0% and the Bank’s loan portfolio grew by 23.5%. As of June 30, 2014, the Bank was the 6th largest retail bank headquartered in Montana in terms of assets. The acquisition also included the addition of a wealth management division with over $100 million in managed assets and a mortgage banking operation that should increase opportunities for additional origination and fee income.

On May 8, 2014, the Company announced that it has applied to the State of Montana to form an interim bank for the purpose of facilitating the conversion of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, American Federal Savings Bank, from a federally chartered savings bank to a Montana chartered commercial bank. If the new charter is approved, the bank plans to rename itself "Opportunity Bank of Montana."

On August 28, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Eagle approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31 of each year. The fiscal year change is effective beginning with the Company’s 2015 fiscal year, which will now begin on January 1, 2015 and end on December 31, 2015.

Business Strategy

The Company’s principal strategy is to manage its principal asset, American Federal Savings Bank, in a profitable manner. The Company seeks to continue profitable operations through building a diversified loan portfolio and positioning the Bank as a full-service community bank that offers both retail and commercial loan and deposit products in all of its markets. We believe that this focus will enable us to continue to grow our franchise, while maintaining our commitment to customer service, high asset quality, and sustained net earnings. The following are the key elements of our business strategy:

●	Continue to diversify our portfolio through growth in commercial real estate and commercial business loans as a complement to our traditional single family residential real estate lending. Such loans now constitute about 45.7% of total loans;

●	Continue to emphasize the attraction and retention of lower cost long-term core deposits;

●	Seek opportunities where presented to acquire other institutions or expand our branch structure;

●	Maintain our high asset quality levels; and

●	Operate as a community-oriented independent financial institution that offers a broad array of financial services with high levels of customer service.

Our results of operations may be significantly affected by our ability to effectively implement our business strategy including our plans for expansion through strategic acquisitions. If we are unable to effectively integrate and manage acquired or merged businesses or attract significant new business through our branching efforts, our financial performance may be negatively affected.

Market Area

From our headquarters in Helena, Montana, we operate thirteen full service retail banking offices, including our main office. Our other full service branches are located in Helena – Neill (opened 1987), Helena – Skyway (opened 2009), Bozeman – Oak (opened 1980, relocated 2009), Butte (opened 1979) and Townsend (opened 1979), Montana. The Sterling Bank Montana branch acquisition that was completed November 30, 2012 included retail banking offices in: Bozeman, Big Timber, Livingston, Billings, Missoula and Hamilton. The acquisition also included three mortgage loan origination locations in Bozeman, Missoula and Kalispell. The Kalispell location was closed in fiscal 2014.

Montana is one of the largest states in terms of land mass but ranks as one of the least populated states. According to U.S. Census Bureau data for 2010, it had a population of 989,415 (1,015,165 estimated for 2013). Helena, where we are headquartered, is Montana’s state capital. It is also the county seat of Lewis and Clark County, which has a population of approximately 65,338 and is located within 120 miles of four of Montana’s other five largest cities: Missoula, Great Falls, Bozeman and Butte. Helena is approximately midway between Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. Its economy has shown moderate growth, in terms of both employment and income. State government and the numerous offices of the federal government comprise the largest employment sector. Helena also has significant employment in the service industries. Specifically, it has evolved into a central health care center with employment in the medical and the supporting professions as well as the medical insurance industry. The local economy is also dependent to a lesser extent upon ranching and agriculture. These have been more cyclical in nature and remain vulnerable to severe weather conditions, increased competition, both domestic and international, as well as commodity prices.

Bozeman is approximately 95 miles southeast of Helena. It is located in Gallatin County, which has a population of approximately 94,720. Bozeman is home to Montana State University and experienced fairly significant growth from 1990 to 2007, in part due to the growth of the University as well as the increased tourism for resort areas in and near Bozeman. Agriculture, however, remains an important part of Bozeman’s economy. Bozeman has also become an attractive location for retirees, primarily from the West Coast, owing to its many winter and summer recreational opportunities and the presence of the University.

Butte, Montana is approximately 64 miles southwest of Helena. Butte and the surrounding Silver-Bow County have a population of approximately 34,523. Butte’s economy was historically reliant on the mining industry and fluctuations in metal and mineral commodity prices have had a corresponding impact on the local economy.

Townsend, Montana is approximately 34 miles southeast of Helena It has a population of approximately 1,970. Townsend is located in Broadwater County which has a population of approximately 5,692. Many of its residents commute to other Montana locations for work, particularly Helena. Other employment in Townsend is primarily in agriculture and services.

Billings, Montana is approximately 293 miles east of Helena. Billings and the surrounding Yellowstone County have a population of approximately 154,162. Billings is a significant trade center for eastern Montana. Select manufacturing is also a significant contributing portion of its economy.

Missoula, Montana is approximately 116 miles west of Helena. Missoula and the surrounding Missoula County have a population of approximately 111,807. The University of Montana is located in Missoula and the local economy is reliant on the University and the corresponding trade and services resulting from the University’s presence.

Hamilton, Montana is approximately 161 miles southwest of Helena in Ravalli County. Ravalli County has a population of approximately 40,823. Hamilton is a relatively short distance from Missoula with a number of persons working in Missoula, residing in Hamilton. Medical research and the wood products industry are significant contributors to Ravalli County’s economy.

Livingston, Montana is approximately 124 miles east of Helena. Livingston and the surrounding Park County have a population of approximately 15,682. Livingston’s economy is somewhat reliant on the wood products and tourism industry.

Big Timber, Montana is approximately 158 miles east of Helena. Big Timber and the surrounding Sweet Grass County have a population of approximately 3,669. Big Timber’s economy is somewhat reliant on the wood products, agriculture, and tourism industries.

Competition

We face strong competition in our primary market area for retail deposits and the origination of loans. Historically, Montana was a unit banking state. This means that the ability of Montana state banks to create branches was either prohibited or significantly restricted. As a result of unit banking, Montana has a significant number of independent financial institutions serving a single community in a single location. While the state’s population is approximately 1,015,000 people, there are 57 credit unions in Montana as well as 2 federally chartered thrift institutions and 62 commercial banks as of June 30, 2014. Our most direct competition for depositors has historically come from locally owned and out-of-state commercial banks, thrift institutions and credit unions operating in our primary market area. The number of such competitor locations has increased significantly in recent years. Our competition for loans also comes from banks, thrifts and credit unions in addition to mortgage bankers and brokers. Our principal market areas can be characterized as markets with moderately increasing incomes, relatively low unemployment, increasing wealth (particularly in the growing resort areas such as Bozeman), and moderate population growth.

Lending Activities

General.

American Federal Savings Bank primarily originates one- to four-family residential real estate loans and, to a lesser extent, commercial real estate loans, real estate construction loans, home equity loans, consumer loans and commercial business loans. Commercial real estate loans include loans on multi-family dwellings, loans on nonresidential property and loans on developed and undeveloped land. Home equity loans include loans secured by the borrower’s primary residence. Typically, the property securing such loans is subject to a prior lien. Consumer loans consist of loans secured by collateral other than real estate, such as automobiles, recreational vehicles and boats. Personal loans and lines of credit are made on deposits held by the Bank and on an unsecured basis. Commercial business loans consist of business loans and lines of credit on a secured and unsecured basis.

Fee Income.

American Federal Savings Bank receives lending related fee income from a variety of sources. Its principal source of this income is from the origination and servicing of sold mortgage loans. Fees generated from mortgage loan servicing, which generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts, disbursing payments to investors and foreclosure processing for loans held by others, were $1.37 million and $1.02 million for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Other loan related fee income for contract collections, late charges, credit life commissions and credit card fees were $164,000 and $95,000 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Loan Maturity Schedule.

The following table sets forth the estimated maturity of the loan portfolio of the Bank at June 30, 2014. Balances exclude deferred loan fees and allowance for loan losses. Scheduled principal repayments of loans do not necessarily reflect the actual life of such assets. The average life of a loan is typically substantially less than its contractual terms because of prepayments. In addition, due on sale clauses on loans generally give American Federal Savings Bank the right to declare loans immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, that the borrower sells the real property, subject to the mortgage, and the loan is not paid off. All mortgage loans are shown to be maturing based on the date of the last payment required by the loan agreement, except as noted.

Loans having no stated maturity, those without a scheduled payment, demand loans and matured loans, are shown as due within six months.

Residential Lending.

The Bank’s primary lending activity consists of the origination of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans secured by property located in the Bank’s market area. Approximately 33.4% of the Bank’s loans as of June 30, 2014 were comprised of such loans. American Federal generally originates one- to four-family residential mortgage loans in amounts of up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or the selling price of the mortgaged property without requiring private mortgage insurance. A mortgage loan originated by the Bank, whether fixed rate or adjustable rate, can have a term of up to 30 years. The Bank holds substantially all of its adjustable rate and its 8, 10 and 12-year fixed rate loans in portfolio. Adjustable rate loans limit the periodic interest rate adjustment and the minimum and maximum rates that may be charged over the term of the loan. The Bank’s fixed rate 15-year and 20-year loans are held in portfolio or sold in the secondary market depending on market conditions. Generally, all 30-year fixed rate loans are sold in the secondary market. The volume of loan sales is dependent on the volume, type and term of loan originations.

The Bank obtains a significant portion of its noninterest income from servicing of loans that it has sold. The Bank offers many of the fixed rate loans it originates for sale in the secondary market on a servicing retained basis. This means that we process the borrower’s payments and send them to the purchaser of the loan. This retention of servicing enables the Bank to increase fee income and maintain a relationship with the borrower. Servicing income was $1.37 million for the year ended June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2014, American Federal Savings Bank had $548.49 million in residential mortgage loans and $12.44 million in commercial real estate loans sold with servicing retained. American Federal Savings Bank does not ordinarily purchase home mortgage loans from other financial institutions.

Property appraisals on real estate securing the Bank’s single-family residential loans are made by state certified and licensed independent appraisers who are approved annually by the Board. Appraisals are performed in accordance with applicable regulations and policies. American Federal Savings Bank generally obtains title insurance policies on all first mortgage real estate loans originated. On occasion, refinancing of mortgage loans are approved using title reports instead of title insurance. Title reports are also allowed on home equity loans. Borrowers generally remit funds with each monthly payment of principal and interest, to a loan escrow account from which American Federal Savings Bank makes disbursements for such items as real estate taxes and hazard and mortgage insurance premiums as they become due.

Home Equity Loans.

American Federal Savings Bank also originates home equity loans. These loans are secured by the borrowers’ primary residence, but are typically subject to a prior lien, which may or may not be held by the Bank. At June 30, 2014, $37.87 million or 13.7% of our total loans were home equity loans. Borrowers may use the proceeds from the Bank’s home equity loans for many purposes, including home improvement, debt consolidation, or other purchasing needs. The Bank offers fixed rate, fixed payment home equity loans as well as variable and fixed rate home equity lines of credit. Fixed rate home equity loans typically have terms of not longer than 15 years.

Home equity loans are secured by real estate but they have historically carried a greater risk than first lien residential mortgages because of the existence of a prior lien on the property securing the loan, as well as the flexibility the borrower has with respect to the loan proceeds. American Federal Savings Bank attempts to minimize this risk by maintaining conservative underwriting policies on such loans. We generally make home equity loans for not more than 85% of appraised value of the underlying real estate collateral, less the amount of any existing prior liens on the property securing the loan.

Commercial Real Estate and Land Loans.

American Federal Savings Bank originates commercial real estate mortgage and land loans, including both developed and undeveloped land loans, and loans on multi-family dwellings. Commercial real estate and land loans made up 33.3% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio, or $92.04 million at June 30, 2014. The majority of these loans are non-residential commercial real estate loans. American Federal Savings Bank’s commercial real estate mortgage loans are primarily permanent loans secured by improved property such as office buildings, retail stores, commercial warehouses and apartment buildings. The terms and conditions of each loan are tailored to the needs of the borrower and based on the financial strength of the project and any guarantors. Generally, commercial real estate loans originated by the Bank will not exceed 75% of the appraised value or the selling price of the property, whichever is less. The average loan size is approximately $271,000 and is typically made with fixed rates of interest and 5- to 15-year maturities. Upon maturity, the loan is repaid or the terms and conditions are renegotiated. Generally, all commercial real estate loans that we originate are secured by property located in the state of Montana and within the market area of the Bank. American Federal Savings Bank’s largest single commercial real estate loan had a balance of approximately $10.83 million ($9.75 million is guaranteed by Rural Development of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, leaving approximately $1.08 million unguaranteed) on June 30, 2014, and is secured by a detention facility.

Real Estate Construction Lending.

American Federal Savings Bank also lends funds for the construction of one-to-four-family homes and commercial real estate. Real estate construction loans are made both to individual homeowners for the construction of their primary residence and, to a lesser extent, to local builders for the construction of pre-sold houses or houses that are being built for sale in the future. Real estate construction loans accounted for $6.92 million or 2.5% of the Bank’s loan portfolio at June 30, 2014.

Consumer Loans.

As part of its strategy to invest in higher yielding shorter term loans, American Federal Savings Bank emphasized growth of its consumer lending portfolio in recent years. This portfolio includes personal loans secured by collateral other than real estate, unsecured personal loans and lines of credit, and loans secured by deposits held by the Bank. As of June 30, 2014, consumer loans totaled $12.96 million or 4.7% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio. These loans consist primarily of auto loans, RV loans, boat loans, personal loans and credit lines and deposit account loans. Consumer loans are originated in the Bank’s market area and generally have maturities of up to 7 years. For loans secured by savings accounts, American Federal Savings Bank will lend up to 90% of the account balance on single payment loans and up to 100% for monthly payment loans.

Consumer loans have a shorter term and generally provide higher interest rates than residential loans. Consumer loans can be helpful in improving the spread between average loan yield and cost of funds and at the same time improve the matching of the maturities of rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Although the amount of such loans declined slightly over 2013 levels, increasing consumer loans continues to be a major part of the Bank’s strategy of operating more like a commercial bank than a traditional savings bank.

The underwriting standards employed by American Federal Savings Bank for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s credit history and an assessment of the applicant’s ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. The stability of the applicant’s monthly income may be determined by verification of gross monthly income from primary employment, and additionally from any verifiable secondary income. Creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration; however, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the collateral in relation to the proposed loan amount.

Commercial Business Loans.

Commercial business loans amounted to $34.41 million, or 12.4% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio at June 30, 2014. American Federal Savings Bank’s commercial business loans are traditional business loans and are not secured by real estate. Such loans may be structured as unsecured lines of credit or may be secured by inventory, accounts receivable or other business assets. Within the commercial loan category, $3.88 million and $707,000 were in loans originated through a syndication program where the business resides outside of Montana, at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

While the commercial business loan portfolio amounted to only 12.4% of the total portfolio at June 30, 2014, American Federal intends to continue to increase such lending by focusing on market segments which it has not previously emphasized, such as business loans to doctors, lawyers, architects and other professionals as well as to small businesses within its market area. Our management believes that this strategy provides opportunities for growth, without significant additional cost outlays for staff and infrastructure.

Commercial business loans of this nature usually involve greater credit risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. The collateral we receive is typically related directly to the performance of the borrower’s business which means that repayment of commercial business loans is dependent on the successful operations and income stream of the borrower’s business. Such risks can be significantly affected by economic conditions. In addition, commercial lending generally requires substantially greater oversight efforts compared to residential real estate lending.

Loans to One Borrower.

Under federal law, savings institutions such as the Bank have, subject to certain exemptions, been required to limit credit concentrations to single borrowers to an amount equal to the greater of $500,000 or 15% of the institution’s unimpaired capital and surplus. As of June 30, 2014, our largest aggregation of loans to one borrower was approximately $20.34 million. This consisted of three loans: two commercial real estate loans secured by two separate detention facilities and a commercial real estate loan secured by a chemical dependency treatment facility. The first commercial real estate loan had a principal balance of $5.17 million, but 90% of that amount, or $4.65 million was sold to the Montana Board of Investments, leaving a net principal balance payable to the Bank of $517,000. As of June 30, 2014, the principal balance on the second commercial real estate loan was $10.83 million. However, 90% of this loan is guaranteed by the USDA Rural Development. Thus, 90% of the loan, or $9.75 million, is not required to be included in the Bank’s limitations to a single borrower under applicable banking regulations. This leaves approximately $1.08 million subject to the lending limit described above. The Bank entered into an interest rate swap with a third party to change the underlying cash flows of the second loan to be a variable market rate tied to one-month LIBOR. The third commercial real estate loan had a principal balance of $4.34 million as of June 30, 2014. As a result, the total amount subject to the lending limit at June 30, 2014 was $5.94 million. At June 30, 2014, these loans were performing in accordance with their terms. The Bank maintains the servicing for these loans.

Loan Solicitation and Processing.

Our customary sources of mortgage loan applications include repeat customers, walk-ins, and referrals from home builders and real estate brokers. We also advertise in local newspapers and on local radio and television. We currently have the ability to accept online mortgage loan applications and provide pre-approvals through our website. Our branch managers and loan officers located at our headquarters and in branches, have authority to approve certain types of loans when presented with a completed application. Other loans must be approved at our main offices as disclosed below. No loan consultants or loan brokers are currently utilized for either residential or commercial lending activities.

After receiving a loan application from a prospective borrower, a credit report and verifications are obtained to confirm specific information relating to the loan applicant’s employment, income and credit standing. When required by our policies, an appraisal of the real estate intended to secure the proposed loan is undertaken by an independent fee appraiser. In connection with the loan approval process, our staff analyze the loan applications and the property involved. Officers and branch managers are granted lending authority based on the nature of the loan and the managers’ level of experience. We have established a series of loan committees to approve any loans which may exceed the lending authority of particular officers or branch managers. A quorum (five directors) of the board of directors is required for approval of any loan, or aggregation of loans to a single borrower, that exceeds $1,250,000.

Loan applicants are promptly notified of the decision by a letter setting forth the terms and conditions of the decision. If approved, these terms and conditions include the amount of the loan, interest rate basis, amortization term, a brief description of real estate to be mortgaged, tax escrow and the notice of requirement of insurance coverage to be maintained. We generally require title insurance on first mortgage loans and fire and casualty insurance on all properties securing loans, which insurance must be maintained during the entire term of the loan.

Loan Commitments.

We generally provide commitments to fund fixed and adjustable-rate single-family mortgage loans for periods up to 60 days at a specified term and interest rate, and other loan categories for shorter time periods. The total amount of our commitments to extend credit as of June 30, 2014, was approximately $5.24 million, all of which was for residential mortgage loans.

Nonperforming Loans and Problem Assets

Collection Procedures.

Generally, our collection procedures provide that when a loan is 15 or more days delinquent, the borrower is sent a past due notice. If the loan becomes 30 days delinquent, the borrower is sent a written delinquency notice requiring payment. If the delinquency continues, subsequent efforts are made to contact the delinquent borrower, including face to face meetings and counseling to resolve the delinquency. All collection actions are undertaken with the objective of compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Act.

For mortgage loans and home equity loans, if the borrower is unable to cure the delinquency or reach a payment agreement, we will institute foreclosure actions. If a foreclosure action is taken and the loan is not reinstated, paid in full or refinanced, the property is sold at judicial sale at which we may be the buyer if there are no adequate offers to satisfy the debt. Any property acquired as the result of foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold or otherwise disposed of. When real estate owned is acquired, it is recorded at its fair market value less estimated selling costs. The initial recording of any loss is charged to the allowance for loan losses. As of June 30, 2014, American Federal Savings Bank had $458,000 of real estate owned.

Loans are reviewed on a quarterly basis and are placed on non-accrual status when they are 90 days or more delinquent. Loans may be placed on non-accrual status at any time if, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is doubtful. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status is charged against interest income. Subsequent payments are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on the assessment of the ultimate collectibility of the loan. At June 30, 2014, we had $342,000 ($276,000 net of specific reserves for loan losses) of loans that were nonperforming and held on non-accrual status.

During the year ended June 30, 2014, the Bank had three foreclosed real estate property and other repossessed assets resulting in a loss of $50,000 upon sale. One other foreclosed real estate property had a write-down of $10,000 based on fair value less cost to sell. During the year ended June 30, 2014, a minimal amount of interest was recorded on loans previously accounted for on a non-accrual basis.

Classified Assets.

Management, in compliance with regulatory guidelines, conducts an internal loan review program, whereby loans are placed or classified in categories depending upon the level of risk of nonpayment or loss. These categories are special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss. When a loan is classified as substandard or doubtful, management is required to establish an allowance for loan losses in an amount that is deemed prudent. When management classifies a loan as a loss asset, an allowance equal up to 100% of the loan balance is required to be established or the loan is required to be charged-off. The allowance for loan losses is composed of an allowance for both inherent risk associated with lending activities and specific problem assets.

Management’s evaluation of the classification of assets and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is reviewed by the Board on a regular basis and by the regulatory agencies as part of their examination process. In addition, each loan that exceeds $500,000 and each group of loans that exceeds $500,000 is monitored more closely. The following table reflects our classified assets:

Allowance for Loan Losses and Real Estate Owned

The Bank segregates its loan portfolio for loan losses into the following broad categories: real estate loans (residential mortgages [one- to four-family], real estate construction, commercial real estate and land) home equity loans, consumer loans, and commercial business loans. The Bank provides for a general allowance for losses inherent in the portfolio in the categories referenced above, which consists of two components: General loss percentages which are calculated based on historical analyses and other factors such as volume and severity of delinquencies, local and national economy, underwriting standards, and other factors. This portion of the allowance is calculated for inherent losses which probably exist as of the evaluation date even though they might not have been identified by the more objective processes used. This is due to the risk of error and/or inherent imprecision in the process. This portion of the allowance is subjective in nature and requires judgments based on qualitative factors which do not lend themselves to exact mathematical calculations such as: trends in delinquencies and non-accruals; trends in volume; terms and portfolio mix; new credit products; changes in lending policies and procedures; and changes in the outlook for the local, regional and national economy.

At least quarterly, the management of the Bank evaluates the need to establish an allowance against losses on loans based on estimated losses on specific loans when a finding is made that a loss is estimable and probable. Such evaluation includes a review of all loans for which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured and considers, among other matters: the estimated market value of the underlying collateral of problem loans; prior loss experience; economic conditions; and overall portfolio quality. Real estate owned is evaluated annually and recorded at fair value.

Provisions for, or adjustments to, estimated losses are included in earnings in the period they are established. At June 30, 2014, we had $2.13 million in allowances for loan losses.

While we believe we have established our existing allowance for loan losses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, there can be no assurance that bank regulators, in reviewing our loan portfolio, will not request that we significantly increase our allowance for loan losses, or that general economic conditions, a deteriorating real estate market, or other factors will not cause us to significantly increase our allowance for loan losses, therefore negatively affecting our financial condition and earnings.

In making loans, we recognize that credit losses will be experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan and, in the case of a secured loan, the quality of the security for the loan.

It is our policy to review our loan portfolio, in accordance with regulatory classification procedures, on at least a quarterly basis.

The following table includes information for allowance for loan losses:

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

General.

Federally chartered savings banks such as American Federal Savings Bank have the authority to invest in various types of investment securities, including United States Treasury obligations, securities of various Federal agencies (including securities collateralized by mortgages), certificates of deposits of insured banks and savings institutions, municipal securities, corporate debt securities and loans to other banking institutions.

Eagle maintains liquid assets that may be invested in specified short-term securities and other investments. Liquidity levels may be increased or decreased depending on the yields on investment alternatives. They may also be increased based on management’s judgment as to the attractiveness of the yields then available in relation to other opportunities. Liquidity levels can also change based on management’s expectation of future yield levels, as well as management’s projections as to the short-term demand for funds to be used in the Bank’s loan origination and other activities. Eagle maintains an investment securities portfolio and a mortgage-backed securities portfolio as part of its investment portfolio.

Investment Policies.

The investment policy of Eagle, which is established by the Board, is designed to foster earnings and liquidity within prudent interest rate risk guidelines, while complementing American Federal’s lending activities. The policy provides for available-for-sale (including those accounted for under FASB ASC 825), held-to-maturity, and trading classifications. However, Eagle currently does not hold any securities for purposes of trading or held-to-maturity. The policy permits investments in high credit quality instruments with diversified cash flows while permitting us to maximize total return within the guidelines set forth in our interest rate risk and liquidity management policies. Permitted investments include but are not limited to U.S. government obligations, government agency or government-sponsored agency obligations, state, county and municipal obligations, and mortgage-backed securities. Collateralized mortgage obligations, investment grade corporate debt securities, and commercial paper are also included. We also invest in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) overnight deposits and federal funds, but these instruments are not considered part of the investment portfolio.

Our investment policy also includes several specific guidelines and restrictions to ensure adherence with safe and sound activities. The policy prohibits investments in high-risk mortgage derivative products (as defined within the policy) without prior approval from the Board. To secure such approval, management must demonstrate the business advantage of such investments.

We do not participate in the use of off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments, except interest rate caps and certain financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges related to loans committed to be sold in the secondary market and interest rate swaps designated as fair-value hedges. Further, Eagle does not invest in securities which are not rated investment grade at time of purchase.

The Board, through its asset liability committee, has charged the President and CEO with implementation of the investment policy. All transactions are reported to the Board monthly, as well as the current composition of the portfolio, including market values and unrealized gains and losses.

Investment Securities.

We maintain a portfolio of investment securities, classified as either available-for-sale (including those accounted for under FASB ASC 825) or held-to-maturity to enhance total return on investments. Our investment securities include U.S. government and agency obligations, Small Business Administration pools, municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and corporate obligations, all with varying characteristics as to rate, maturity and call provisions. There were no held-to-maturity investment securities included in the investment portfolio at June 30, 2014 and 2013. All investment securities included in the investment portfolio are currently available-for-sale. The Bank does not expect to alter the mix of U.S. Treasury obligations it will hold and purchase, notwithstanding the downgrade of U.S. Treasury debt obligations to AA+ by Standard & Poor’s. It will, however, continue to monitor developments. Eagle also has interest-bearing deposits in other banks and stock in the FHLB of Seattle.

SOURCES OF FUNDS

General.

Deposits are the major source of our funds for lending and other investment purposes. Borrowings (principally from the FHLB of Seattle) are also used to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds from other sources. In addition to deposits and borrowings, we derive funds from loan and mortgage-backed securities principal repayments, and proceeds from the maturity, call and sale of mortgage-backed securities and investment securities and from the sale of loans. Loan and mortgage-backed securities payments are a relatively stable source of funds, while loan prepayments and deposit inflows are significantly influenced by general interest rates and financial market conditions.

Deposits.

We offer a variety of deposit accounts. Deposit account terms vary, primarily as to the required minimum balance amount, the amount of time that the funds must remain on deposit and the applicable interest rate.

Our current deposit products include certificates of deposit accounts ranging in terms from 90 days to five years as well as checking, savings and money market accounts. Individual retirement accounts (IRAs) are included in certificates of deposit.

Deposits are obtained primarily from residents of Helena, Bozeman, Butte, Townsend, Billings, Missoula, Livingston, Big Timber and Hamilton. We believe we are able to attract deposit accounts by offering outstanding service, competitive interest rates and convenient locations and service hours. We use traditional methods of advertising to attract new customers and deposits, including radio, television, print media advertising and sales training and incentive programs for employees. Management believes that non-residents of Montana hold an insignificant number and amount of deposit accounts.

We pay interest rates on deposits which are competitive in our market. Interest rates on deposits are set by senior management, based on a number of factors, including: projected cash flow; a current survey of a selected group of competitors’ rates for similar products; external data which may influence interest rates; investment opportunities and loan demand; and scheduled certificate maturities and loan and investment repayments.

Core deposits are deposits that are more stable and somewhat less sensitive to rate changes. They also represent a lower cost source of funds than rate sensitive, more volatile accounts such as certificates of deposit. We believe that our core deposits are our checking, as well as NOW accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts and IRA accounts. Based on our historical experience, we include IRA accounts funded by certificates of deposit as core deposits because they exhibit the principal features of core deposits in that they are stable and generally are not rate sensitive. Core deposits amounted to $310.82 million or 72.8% of the Bank’s deposits at June 30, 2014 (this amount would be $274.85 million or 64.4% if IRA certificates of deposit are excluded). The presence of a high percentage of core deposits and, in particular, transaction accounts reflects in part our strategy to restructure our liabilities to more closely resemble the lower cost liabilities of a commercial bank. However, a significant portion of our deposits remains in certificate of deposit form. These certificates of deposit, if they mature and are renewed at higher rates, would result in an increase in our cost of funds.

Borrowings.

Deposits are the primary source of funds for our lending and investment activities and for general business purposes. However, as the need arises, or in order to take advantage of funding opportunities, we also borrow funds in the form of advances from the FHLB of Seattle and other borrowings from PNC Financial Services, Inc. (PNC) to supplement our supply of lendable funds and to meet deposit withdrawal requirements.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, our predecessor entity formed a special purpose subsidiary, Eagle Bancorp Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities in the amount of $5.0 million. Our predecessor entity has issued subordinated debentures to the Trust, and the coupon on the debentures matches the dividend payment on the trust preferred securities. Upon the closing of the second-step conversion and reorganization, we assumed the obligations of our predecessor in connection with the subordinated debentures and trust preferred securities. For regulatory purposes, the securities qualify as Tier 1 Capital, while for accounting purposes they are recorded as long term debt. The securities have a 30 year maturity and carried a fixed coupon of 6.02% for the first five years, at which time the coupon became variable, at a spread of 142 basis points over 3 month LIBOR. At June 30, 2014 the rate was 1.651%.

SUBSIDIARY ACTIVITY

We are permitted to invest in the capital stock of, or originate secured or unsecured loans to, subsidiary corporations. The following are subsidiaries of the Company: American Federal Savings Bank, Eagle Bancorp Statutory Trust I, and AFSB NMTC Investment Fund, LLC, which is a subsidiary of the Bank.

Personnel

As of June 30, 2014, we had 167 full-time employees and 10 part-time employees. The employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit. We believe our relationship with our employees to be good.

REGULATION

Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws and regulations applicable to Eagle and American Federal. These descriptions of laws and regulations as well as those contained elsewhere do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to applicable laws and regulations. Legislative or regulatory changes in the future could adversely affect our operations or financial condition.

General

As a federally-chartered savings institution, American Federal is subject to extensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) which assumed jurisdiction over Eagle and American Federal after the close of Eagle’s June 30, 2011 fiscal year as its primary federal regulator, and the FDIC, as the insurer of its deposits. American Federal is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank, or FHLB, System, and its deposit accounts are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund, which is administered by the FDIC. There are periodic examinations to evaluate American Federal’s safety and soundness and compliance with various regulatory requirements. Under certain circumstances, the FDIC may also examine American Federal. This regulatory structure is intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate allowance for loan losses for regulatory purposes. Eagle, as a savings and loan holding company, is required to file certain reports with, is subject to examination by, and otherwise comply with the rules and regulations of Federal Reserve Board. Eagle is also subject to the rules and regulations of the SEC under the federal securities laws. See “—Holding Company Regulation.”

Dodd-Frank Act

On July 21, 2010, the President signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). The Dodd-Frank Act has significantly changed the bank regulatory structure and affected the lending, investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. One important change was the transfer of regulatory jurisdiction over federal savings association regulation from the Office of Thrift Supervision to the OCC. The FDIC will regulate state-chartered savings associations. Many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to delayed effective dates and/or require the issuance of implementing regulations. This effect on operations cannot yet be assessed fully. However, there is a significant possibility that the Dodd-Frank Act will, in the long run, increase regulatory burden, compliance cost and interest expense for Eagle and the Bank.

On July 21, 2011, under the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act, our primary federal regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision, was merged with and into the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the primary federal regulator for national banks). As a result, shortly after the conclusion of Eagle’s fiscal year of June 30, 2011, all federal savings associations (including American Federal) came under the principal jurisdiction of a different, federal bank regulatory agency, the OCC, which has historically regulated the national banks. The OCC has extensive experience in the regulation of community banks such as American Federal but it is unclear without more experience how the change in federal regulatory agencies will impact American Federal. American Federal will retain its federal thrift charter under the OCC, but may evaluate other charter options in the future. The Dodd-Frank Act also authorizes the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to supervise and regulate all savings and loan holding companies like Eagle, in addition to bank holding companies which it currently regulates. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board’s current regulations applicable to bank holding companies, including, in the future, holding company capital requirements, will apply to savings and loan holding companies like Eagle. The capital requirements are expected to take effect in five years. The Dodd-Frank Act will require the Federal Reserve Board to set minimum capital levels for depository institution holding companies that are as stringent as those required for the insured depository subsidiaries, and the components of Tier 1 capital would be restricted to capital instruments that are currently considered to be Tier 1 capital for insured depository institutions. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the proceeds of trust preferred securities are excluded from Tier 1 capital unless such securities were issued prior to May 19, 2010 by bank or savings and loan holding companies with less than $15 billion of assets.

The Dodd-Frank Act also created a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions such as American Federal Savings Bank, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has examination and enforcement authority over all banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets. Banks and savings institutions with $10 billion or less in assets will continue to be examined by their applicable bank regulators. The new legislation also weakens the federal preemption available for national banks and federal savings associations, and gives state attorneys general the ability to enforce applicable federal consumer protection laws.

The legislation also broadens the base for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance assessments. Assessments will now be based on the average consolidated total assets less tangible equity capital of a financial institution. The Dodd-Frank Act also permanently increases the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks, savings institutions and credit unions to $250,000 per depositor, retroactive to January 1, 2009, and non-interest bearing transaction accounts have unlimited deposit insurance through December 31, 2012. Lastly, the Dodd-Frank Act directs the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to bank holding company executives, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded or not.

Federal Regulation of Savings Institutions

The following description relates to both Eagle and American Federal’s regulation through the completion of the fiscal year June 30, 2014, and a description of certain historical regulatory aspects.

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, has assumed regulatory oversight over the Bank since the elimination of the Office of Thrift Supervision as a separate regulatory agency. American Federal is required to file periodic reports with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and is subject to periodic examinations. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has extensive enforcement authority over national banks and savings institutions such as the Bank. Authority over Eagle, which formerly resided with the Office of Thrift Supervision, has been transferred to the Federal Reserve Board as a result of enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act. Enforcement authority over Eagle includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, issue cease-and-desist or removal orders and initiate prompt corrective action orders. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with federal bank regulatory agencies. Except under certain circumstances, public disclosure of final enforcement actions is required.

In addition, the investment, lending and branching authority of American Federal also are prescribed by federal laws, which prohibit American Federal from engaging in any activities not permitted by these laws. For example, no savings institution may invest in non-investment grade corporate debt securities. In addition, the permissible level of investment by federal institutions in loans secured by non-residential real property may not exceed 400% of total capital, except with approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Federal savings institutions are generally authorized to branch nationwide. American Federal is in compliance with the noted restrictions.

American Federal pays assessments to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to fund its operations. The general assessments, paid on a semi-annual basis, are determined based on total assets, including consolidated subsidiaries.

American Federal’s general permissible lending limit for loans-to-one-borrower is equal to the greater of $500,000 or 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus, if the loan is fully secured by certain readily marketable collateral, which is defined to include certain financial instruments and bullion, but generally does not include real estate.

The federal banking agencies, have adopted guidelines establishing safety and soundness standards on such matters as loan underwriting and documentation, asset quality, earnings standards, internal controls and audit systems, interest rate risk exposure and compensation and other employee benefits. If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If an institution fails to submit or implement an acceptable plan, the appropriate federal banking agency may issue an enforceable order requiring correction of the deficiencies.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. American Federal is a member of the FHLB of Seattle, which is one of 12 regional FHLBs that administer the home financing credit function of savings institutions. Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. It makes loans or advances to members in accordance with policies and procedures, established by the Board of Directors of the FHLB, which are subject to the oversight of the Federal Housing Finance Board. All advances from the FHLB are required to be fully secured by sufficient collateral as determined by the FHLB. In addition, all long-term advances are required to provide funds for residential home financing. As a member, American Federal is required to purchase and maintain a specified amount of shares of capital stock in the FHLB of Seattle.

The FHLBs have continued and continue to contribute to low- and moderately-priced housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income housing projects. These contributions have affected adversely the level of FHLB dividends paid and could continue to do so in the future. These contributions could also have an adverse effect on the value of FHLB stock in the future. A reduction in value of American Federal’s FHLB stock may result in a corresponding reduction in American Federal’s capital.

Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve System requires all depository institutions to maintain noninterest-bearing reserves at specified levels against their checking, NOW, and non-personal time deposits. The balances maintained to meet the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve System may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements.

Savings institutions have authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve System “discount window”. American Federal maintains a “primary credit” facility at the Federal Reserve’s discount window.

Insurance of Deposit Accounts. Deposit accounts at American Federal are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, generally up to a maximum of $250,000 per separately insured depositor and up to a maximum of $250,000 for self-directed retirement accounts. American Federal’s deposits, therefore, are subject to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance assessments. Assessments paid to the FDIC by American Federal and other banking institutions are used to fund the FDIC’s Federal Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”).

Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC. As insurer of deposits in banks, the FDIC imposes deposit insurance premiums and is authorized to conduct examinations of and to require reporting by FDIC-insured institutions. It also may prohibit any FDIC-insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious risk to the fund. The FDIC also has the authority to initiate enforcement actions against savings institutions, after giving the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency an opportunity to take such action. Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or written agreement with the FDIC. We are not aware of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to the termination of American Federal’s deposit insurance.

New Assessments Under Dodd-Frank. The FDIC assesses deposit insurance premiums on each insured institution quarterly based on annualized rates for one of four risk categories. As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC adopted rules effective April 1, 2011, under which insurance premium assessments are based on an institution's total assets minus its tangible equity (defined as Tier I capital) instead of its deposits. Under these rules, an institution with total assets of less than $10 billion is assigned to a Risk Category and a range of initial base assessment rates applies to each category, subject to adjustment downward based on unsecured debt issued by the institution and, except for an institution in Risk Category I, adjustment upward if the institution's brokered deposits exceed 10% of its domestic deposits, to produce total base assessment rates. Effective April 1, 2011, total base assessment rates will range from 2.5 to 9 basis points for Risk Category I, 9 to 24 basis points for Risk Category II, 18 to 33 basis points for Risk Category III, and 30 to 45 basis points for Risk Category IV, all subject to further adjustment upward if the institution holds more than a de minimis amount of unsecured debt issued by another FD1C-insured institution. The FDIC may increase or decrease its rates for each quarter by 2.0 basis points without further rulemaking. In an emergency, the FDIC may also impose a special assessment.

Minimum Reserve Ratios. The Dodd-Frank Act establishes 1.35% as the minimum reserve ratio for the DIF. The FDIC has adopted a plan under which it will meet this ratio by September 30, 2020, the deadline imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act, The Dodd-Frank Act requires the FDIC to offset the effect on institutions with assets less than $10 billion of the increase in the statutory minimum reserve ratio to 1.35% from the former statutory minimum of 1.15%. The FDIC has not yet announced how it will implement this offset. In addition to the statutory minimum ratio, the FDIC must designate a reserve ratio, known as the designated reserve ratio, or DRR, which may exceed the statutory minimum. The FDIC has established 2.0% as the DRR.

The FDIC has authority to increase insurance assessments. A significant increase in insurance premiums would likely have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of the Bank. There can be no prediction as to what insurance assessment rates will be in the future.

In addition to the assessment for deposit insurance, through 2019, institutions are required to make payments on bonds issued in the late 1980s by the Financing Corporation to recapitalize a predecessor deposit insurance fund. This payment is established quarterly and as of the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was 0.66 basis points of assessable deposits.

Capital Requirements. Federally insured savings institutions, such as American Federal, are required by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital. These minimum capital standards include: a 1.5% tangible capital to total assets ratio, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS examination rating system) and an 8% risk-based capital ratio. In addition, the prompt corrective action standards, discussed below, also establish, in effect, a minimum 2% tangible capital standard, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS system) and, together with the risk-based capital standard itself, a 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital standard. The regulations also require that, in meeting the tangible, leverage and risk-based capital standards, institutions must generally deduct investments in and loans to subsidiaries engaged in activities as principal that are not permissible for a national bank.

The risk-based capital standard requires federal savings institutions to maintain Tier 1 (core) and total capital (which is defined as core capital and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 4% and 8%, respectively. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets, recourse obligations, residual interests and direct credit substitutes, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of 0% to 100%, assigned by the Comptroller of the Currency capital regulation based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Tier 1 (core) capital is defined as common stockholders’ equity (including retained earnings), certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles other than certain mortgage servicing rights and credit card relationships. The components of supplementary capital currently include cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock, the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Overall, the amount of supplementary capital included as part of total capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital. The Comptroller of the Currency also has authority to establish individual minimum capital requirements for financial institutions.

On June 6, 2012, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a series of proposed rules to revise their risk-based and leverage capital requirements and their method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with the agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in “Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems” (“Basel III”). The proposed rules would apply to all depository institutions, top-tier bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $500 million or more, and top-tier savings and loan holding companies (“banking organizations”). Among other things, the proposed rules establish a new common equity tier 1 minimum capital requirement and a higher minimum tier 1 capital requirement, and assign higher risk weightings (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on non-accrual status and certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The proposed rules also limit a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of a specified amount of common equity tier 1 capital in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. Adoption of the final rules has been delayed by the federal bank regulatory agencies based upon the volume of comments received on the proposed rules.

Prompt Corrective Action. Federal bank regulatory agencies are required to take certain supervisory actions against undercapitalized institutions, the severity of which depends upon the institution’s degree of undercapitalization. Generally, an institution that has a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of less than 8%, a ratio of Tier 1 (core) capital to risk-weighted assets of less than 4%, or a ratio of core capital to total assets of less than 4% (3% or less for institutions with the highest examination rating) is considered to be “undercapitalized.” An institution that has a total risk-based capital ratio less than 6%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage ratio that is less than 3% is considered to be “significantly undercapitalized” and an institution that has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less than 2% is deemed to be “critically undercapitalized.” Subject to a narrow exception, the Comptroller of the Currency is required to appoint a receiver or conservator for a savings institution that is “critically undercapitalized.” Regulations also require that a capital restoration plan be filed with the Comptroller of the Currency within 45 days of the date a savings institution receives notice that it is “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” or “critically undercapitalized.” In addition, numerous mandatory supervisory actions become immediately applicable to an undercapitalized institution, including, but not limited to, increased monitoring by regulators and restrictions on growth, capital distributions and expansion. ”Significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized” institutions are subject to more extensive mandatory regulatory actions. The Comptroller of the Currency also could take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors. At June 30, 2014, American Federal’s capital ratios met the “well capitalized” standards.

Limitations on Capital Distributions. Federal banking regulations impose various restrictions on institutions with respect to their ability to make distributions of capital, which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers and other transactions charged to the capital account. Generally, savings institutions, such as American Federal, that before and after the proposed distribution are well-capitalized, may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to up to 100% of net income for the year-to-date plus retained net income for the two preceding years. However, an institution deemed to be in need of more than normal supervision may have its dividend authority restricted.

Generally, savings institutions proposing to make any capital distribution need not submit written notice to the Comptroller of the Currency prior to such distribution unless they are a subsidiary of a holding company or would not remain well capitalized following the distribution. Savings institutions that do not, or would not meet their current minimum capital requirements following a proposed capital distribution or propose to exceed these net income limitations, must obtain approval from the Comptroller of the Currency prior to making such distribution. The Comptroller of the Currency may object to the distribution during that 30-day period based on safety and soundness concerns.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test. All savings institutions, including American Federal, are required to meet a qualified thrift lender (“QTL”) test to avoid certain restrictions on their operations. This test requires a savings institution to have at least 65% of its total assets, as defined by regulation, in qualified thrift investments on a monthly average for nine out of every 12 months on a rolling basis. As an alternative, the savings institution may maintain 60% of its assets in those assets specified in Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”). Under either test, such assets primarily consist of residential housing related loans and investments.

A savings institution that fails to meet the QTL is subject to certain operating restrictions and may be required to convert to a national bank charter. The Dodd-Frank Act made noncompliance with the QTL test also subject to agency enforcement action for a violation of law. As of June 30, 2014, American Federal met the qualified thrift lender test.

Activities of Associations and their Subsidiaries. When a savings institution establishes or acquires a subsidiary or elects to conduct any new activity through a subsidiary that the association controls, the savings institution must file a notice or application with the FDIC and of the Comptroller of the Currency at least 30 days in advance and receive regulatory approval or non-objection. Savings institutions also must conduct the activities of subsidiaries in accordance with existing regulations and orders.

The Comptroller of the Currency may determine that the continuation by a savings institution of its ownership control of, or its relationship to, the subsidiary constitutes a serious risk to the safety, soundness or stability of the association or is inconsistent with sound banking practices or with the purposes of the FDIC. Based upon that determination, the FDIC or the Comptroller of the Currency has the authority to order the savings institution to divest itself of control of the subsidiary. The FDIC also may determine by regulation or order that any specific activity poses a serious threat to the Deposit Insurance Fund. If so, it may require that no FDIC insured institution engage in that activity directly.

Transactions with Affiliates. American Federal’s authority to engage in transactions with “affiliates” is limited by regulations and by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act as implemented by the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation W. The term “affiliates” for these purposes generally means any company that controls or is under common control with an institution. Eagle is an affiliate of American Federal. In general, transactions with affiliates must be on terms that are as favorable to the institution as comparable transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain types of transactions, i.e. “covered transactions”¸ are restricted to an aggregate percentage of the institution’s capital. Collateral in specified amounts must be provided by affiliates in order to receive loans from an institution. In addition, savings institutions are prohibited from lending to any affiliate that is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and no savings institution may purchase the securities of any affiliate other than a subsidiary.

Our authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors and 10% or greater shareholders (“insiders”), as well as entities controlled by these persons, is governed by Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and its implementing regulation, Federal Reserve Board Regulation O. Among other things, loans to insiders must be made on terms substantially the same as those offered to unaffiliated individuals and not involve more than the normal risk of repayment. There is an exception for bank-wide lending programs that do not discriminate in favor of insiders. Regulation O also places individual and aggregate limits on the amount of loans that may be made to insiders based, in part, on the institution’s capital position, and requires that certain prior board approval procedures be followed. Extensions of credit to executive officers are subject to additional restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be made. At June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with these regulations.

Holding Company Regulation

General. Eagle is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to regulatory oversight of the Federal Reserve Board which became the principal federal bank regulatory agency for Eagle during the previous fiscal year. Eagle is required to register and file reports with Federal Reserve Board and is subject to regulation and examination by the Federal Reserve Board. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has enforcement authority over Eagle and its non-savings institution subsidiaries which also permits the Federal Reserve Board to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to present a serious risk to the subsidiary savings institution.

Activities Restrictions. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, or GLBA, provides that no company may acquire control of a savings association after May 4, 1999 unless it engages only in the financial activities permitted for financial holding companies under the law or for multiple savings and loan holding companies as described below. Upon any non-supervisory acquisition by Eagle of another savings association as a separate subsidiary, Eagle would become a multiple savings and loan holding company and would be limited to activities permitted multiple holding companies by the Comptroller of the Currency regulation. The Comptroller of the Currency has issued an interpretation concluding that multiple savings and loan holding companies may also engage in activities permitted for financial holding companies, including lending, trust services, insurance activities and underwriting, investment banking and real estate investments.

Mergers and Acquisitions. Eagle must obtain approval from the Federal Reserve Board before acquiring more than 5% of the voting stock of another savings institution or savings and loan holding company or acquiring such an institution or holding company by merger, consolidation or purchase of its assets. In evaluating an application for Eagle to acquire control of a savings institution, the Federal Reserve Board would consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of Eagle and the target institution, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the Deposit Insurance Fund, the convenience and the needs of the community and competitive factors.

Acquisition of Eagle. Under the Savings and Loan Holding Company Act and the Change in Bank Control Act, a notice or application must be submitted to the Comptroller of the Currency if any person (including a company), or a group acting in concert, seeks to acquire 10% or more of Eagle’s outstanding voting stock, unless the Comptroller of the Currency has found that the acquisition will not result in a change in control of Eagle. In acting on such a notice or application, the Comptroller of the Currency must take into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the anti-trust effect of the acquisition. Any company that acquires control will be subject to regulation as a savings and loan holding company.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. As directed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are required to certify that our quarterly and annual reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act have several requirements, including having these officers certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting; they have made certain disclosures to our auditors and the audit committee of the board of directors about our internal control over financial reporting; and they have included information in our quarterly and annual reports about their evaluation and whether there have been changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

We may not successfully integrate the assets, operations and customers of Sterling in a manner which proves profitable in the near term.

Although we believe we carefully evaluated the acquisition of the seven branches of Sterling Bank in fiscal year 2013, we may not be able to achieve reasonable returns on our investment as quickly as we desire or at projected levels. In addition, although we have made every effort to ensure that our new customers who were formerly customers of Sterling continue banking relationships with us, we may not be able to retain all of these customers. We also may have acquired loans which, despite current levels of acceptable performance, may not continue to perform in this manner in the future. Further, the assumption of a significant amount of assets and liabilities, which resulted in a level of growth significantly greater than we have been historically able to achieve through organic means, may provide challenges in the areas of compliance and risk management that will require additional staff or outside advisors which could increase operating expense.

We hold certain intangible assets that could be classified as impaired in the future. If these assets are considered to be either partially or fully impaired in the future, our earnings and the book values of these assets would decrease.

As a result of the branch acquisition from Sterling Bank in fiscal year 2013, we recorded goodwill in the amount of $6.89 million in the second quarter of 2013. Final valuation adjustments were recorded in the second quarter of 2014 for $144,000 and impacted goodwill. The final goodwill recorded related to the acquisition was $7.03 million. We are required to test our goodwill for impairment on a periodic basis. The impairment testing process considers a variety of factors, including the current market price of our common shares, the estimated net present value of our assets and liabilities and information concerning the terminal valuation of similarly situated insured depository institutions. It is possible that future impairment testing could result in a partial or full impairment of the value of our goodwill. If an impairment determination is made in a future reporting period, our earnings and the book value of goodwill will be reduced by the amount of the impairment.

Risks associated with system failures, interruptions, or breaches of security could negatively affect our earnings.

Information technology systems are critical to our business. We use various technology systems to manage our customer relationships, general ledger, securities, deposits, and loans. We have established policies and procedures to prevent or limit the impact of system failures, interruptions, and security breaches, but such events may still occur or may not be adequately addressed if they do occur. In addition, any compromise of our systems could deter customers from using our products and services. Although we rely on security systems to provide security and authentication necessary to effect the secure transmission of data, these precautions may not protect our systems from compromises or breaches of security.

In addition, we outsource a majority of our data processing to certain third-party providers. If these third-party providers encounter difficulties, or if we have difficulty communicating with them, our ability to adequately process and account for transactions could be affected, and our business operations could be adversely affected. Threats to information security also exist in the processing of customer information through various other vendors and their personnel.

The occurrence of any system failures, interruption, or breach of security could damage our reputation and result in a loss of customers and business thereby subjecting us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or could expose us to litigation and possible financial liability. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in the structure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (“GSEs”) and the relationship among the GSEs, the federal government and the private markets, or the conversion of the current conservatorship of the GSEs into receivership, could result in significant changes to our securities portfolio.

The GSEs are currently in conservatorship, with their primary regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, acting as conservator. We cannot predict if, when or how the conservatorships will end, or any associated changes to the GSEs’ business structure that could result. There are several proposed approaches, including possible legislative changes in discussion in both the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking Committee which, if enacted, could change the nature of government participation in the private mortgage market or alternatively the structure of the GSEs, the relationship among the GSEs, the government and the private markets, including the trading markets for agency conforming mortgage loans and markets for mortgage-related securities in which we participate. We cannot predict the prospects for the enactment, timing or content of legislative or rulemaking proposals regarding the future status of any of these approaches. Accordingly, there continues to be uncertainty regarding the future of the GSEs, including whether they will continue to exist in their current form. GSE reform, if enacted, could result in a significant change and adversely impact our business operations, particularly as to our residential mortgage lending activities.

We cannot accurately predict the effect of the recent economic downturn on our future results of operations or market price of our stock.

The national economy and the financial services sector, while improving somewhat, continue to face challenges. We cannot accurately predict whether the economic downturn, which adversely impacted the markets we serve, will continue to abate or whether further downturns may occur. Any renewed deterioration in the economies of the nation as a whole or in our markets would have an adverse effect, which could be material, on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could also cause the market price of our stock to decline. A fragile recovery or another recession could continue to present risks for some time for the financial services industry and our company.

If the allowance for credit losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings could decrease.

Our customers may not repay their loans according to the original terms, and the collateral, if any, securing the payment of these loans may be insufficient to pay any remaining loan balance. We may experience significant loan losses, which may have a material adverse effect on operating results. We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of the loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of loans. If the assumptions prove to be incorrect, the allowance for credit losses may not be sufficient to cover losses inherent in our loan portfolio, resulting in additions to the allowance. Material additions to the allowance would materially decrease net income.

Our emphasis on the origination of consumer, commercial real estate and commercial business loans is one of the more significant factors in evaluating the allowance for loan losses. As we continue to increase the amount of such loans, additional or increased provisions for loan losses may be necessary and would decrease earnings.

Bank regulators periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require an increase to the provision for loan losses or further loan charge-offs. Any increase in our allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by these regulatory authorities may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

We could record future losses on our securities portfolio.

A number of factors or combinations of factors could require us to conclude in one or more future reporting periods that an unrealized loss exists with respect to our investment securities portfolio that constitutes an impairment that is other than temporary, which could result in material losses to us. These factors include, but are not limited to, continued failure by the issuer to make scheduled interest payments, an increase in the severity of the unrealized loss on a particular security, an increase in the continuous duration of the unrealized loss without an improvement in value or changes in market conditions and/or industry or issuer specific factors that would render us unable to forecast a full recovery in value. In addition, the fair values of securities could decline if the overall economy and the financial condition of some of the issuers deteriorates and there is limited liquidity for these securities.

Changes in our accounting policies or in accounting standards could materially affect how we report our financial condition and results of operations.

Our accounting policies are essential to understanding our financial results and condition. Some of these policies require the use of estimates and assumptions that may affect the value of our assets or liabilities and financial results. Some of our accounting policies are critical because they require management to make difficult, subjective, and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. If such estimates or assumptions underlying our financial statements are incorrect, we may experience material losses.

From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission change the financial accounting and reporting standards or the interpretation of those standards that govern the preparation of our financial statements. These changes are beyond our control, can be hard to predict and could materially impact how we report our results of operations and financial condition. We could also be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in our restating prior period financial statements in material amounts.

A prolonged economic downturn, especially one affecting our geographic market area, will adversely affect our business and financial results.

The United States and many industrial nations are experiencing adverse economic conditions and slow recovery which are expected to continue in 2015. Loan portfolio quality has improved at many institutions, reflecting in part, the improving U.S. economy and rising employment. In addition, the values of real estate collateral supporting many commercial loans and home mortgages appear to have stabilized but may continue to decline. The continuing stagnation in the real estate market also has resulted in reduced demand for the construction of new housing and increased delinquencies in construction, residential and commercial mortgage loans. Financial institution stock prices have declined substantially, and it is significantly more difficult for financial institutions to raise capital or borrow in the debt markets.

Continued negative developments in the financial services industry and the domestic and international credit markets may significantly affect the markets in which we do business, the market for and value of our loans and investments, and our ongoing operations, costs and profitability. Moreover, continued volatility or declines in the stock market in general, or stock values of financial institutions and their holding companies, could adversely affect our stock performance.

As a federal savings bank, American Federal Savings Bank is required to maintain a certain percentage of its total assets in qualifying loans and investments, which limits our asset mix and could significantly restrict our ability to diversify our loan portfolio.

A savings bank or thrift differs from a commercial bank in that it is required to maintain at least 65% of its total assets in housing-related loans and investments, such as loans for the purchase, refinance, construction, improvement, or repair of residential real estate, home equity loans, educational loans and small business loans. To maintain our thrift charter we have to pass the Qualified Thrift Lender test, or QTL test, in nine out of 12 of the immediately preceding months. The QTL test limits the extent to which we can grow our commercial loan portfolio. However, a loan that does not exceed $2 million (including a group of loans to one borrower) and is for commercial, corporate, business, or agricultural purposes is not so limited. We may be limited in our ability to change our asset mix and increase the yield on our earning assets by growing our commercial loan portfolio.

In addition, if we continue to grow our commercial loan portfolio and our single-family loan portfolio declines, it is possible that in order to maintain our QTL status, we could be forced to buy mortgage-backed securities or other qualifying assets at times when the terms might not be attractive. Alternatively, we could find it necessary to pursue different structures, including converting American Federal Savings Bank’s current thrift charter to a commercial bank charter.

Because we intend to increase our commercial real estate and commercial business loan originations, our credit risk will increase and continued downturns in the local real estate market or economy could adversely affect our earnings.

We intend to continue our recent emphasis on originating commercial real estate and commercial business loans. Commercial real estate and commercial business loans generally have more risk than the one- to four-family residential real estate loans we originate. Because the repayment of commercial real estate and commercial business loans depends on the successful management and operation of the borrower’s properties or related businesses, repayment of such loans can be affected by adverse conditions in the local real estate market or economy. Commercial real estate and commercial business loans may also involve relatively large loan balances to individual borrowers or groups of related borrowers. A downturn in the real estate market or the local economy could adversely affect the value of properties securing the loan or the revenues from the borrower’s business, thereby increasing the risk of nonperforming loans. As our commercial real estate and commercial business loan portfolios increase, the corresponding risks and potential for losses from these loans may also increase.

Declines in home values could decrease our loan originations and increase delinquencies and defaults.

Declines in home values in our markets could adversely impact results from operations. Like all financial institutions, we are subject to the effects of any economic downturn, and in particular, a significant decline in home values would likely lead to a decrease in new home equity loan originations and increased delinquencies and defaults in both the consumer home equity loan and residential real estate loan portfolios and result in increased losses in these portfolios. Declines in the average sale prices of homes in our primary markets could lead to higher loan losses.

We depend on the services of our executive officers and other key employees.

Our success depends upon the continued employment of certain members of our senior management team. We also depend upon the continued employment of the individuals that manage several of our key functional areas. The departure of any member of our senior management team may adversely affect our operations.

Changes in interest rates could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our results of operations and financial condition are significantly affected by changes in interest rates. Our results of operations depend substantially on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits, borrowings and trust preferred securities. Because our interest-bearing liabilities generally reprice or mature more quickly than our interest-earning assets, an increase in interest rates generally would tend to result in a decrease in net interest income.

Changes in interest rates may also affect the average life of loans and mortgage-related securities. Decreases in interest rates can result in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities, as borrowers refinance to reduce their borrowing costs. Under these circumstances, we are subject to reinvestment risk to the extent that we are unable to reinvest the cash received from such prepayments at rates that are comparable to the rates on existing loans and securities. Additionally, increases in interest rates may decrease loan demand and make it more difficult for borrowers to repay adjustable rate loans. Also, increases in interest rates may extend the life of fixed rate assets, which would restrict our ability to reinvest in higher yielding alternatives, and may result in customers withdrawing certificates of deposit early so long as the early withdrawal penalty is less than the interest they could receive as a result of the higher interest rates.

Changes in interest rates also affect the current fair value of our interest-earning securities portfolio. Generally, the value of securities moves inversely with changes in interest rates.

Strong competition may limit growth and profitability.

Competition in the banking and financial services industry is intense. We compete with commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage brokerage firms, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, and brokerage and investment banking firms operating locally and elsewhere. Many of these competitors (whether regional or national institutions) have substantially greater resources and lending limits than we have and may offer certain services that we do not or cannot provide. Our profitability depends upon our ability to successfully compete in our market areas.

We operate in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations.

We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The federal banking laws and regulations govern the activities in which we may engage, and are primarily for the protection of depositors and the Deposit Insurance Fund at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. These regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the ability to impose restrictions on a bank’s operations, reclassify assets, determine the adequacy of a bank’s allowance for loan losses and determine the level of deposit insurance premiums assessed. Any change in such regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, new regulations or legislation or additional deposit insurance premiums could have a material impact on our operations. Because our business is highly regulated, the laws and applicable regulations are subject to frequent change. Any new laws, rules and regulations could make compliance more difficult or expensive or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition or prospects.

Financial reform legislation enacted by Congress will, among other things, tighten capital standards, create a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and result in new laws and regulations that are expected to increase our costs of operations.

Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) in July 2010. This new law has significantly changed the bank regulatory structure and affected the lending, deposit, investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of new implementing rules and regulations, and to prepare numerous studies and reports for Congress. The federal agencies are given significant discretion in drafting the implementing rules and regulations, and consequently, many of the details and much of the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act may not be known for many months or years.

Certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act are expected to have a near term impact on us. Effective July 21, 2011, the Dodd-Frank Act eliminated the federal prohibitions against paying interest on demand deposits, thus allowing businesses to have interest bearing checking accounts. Depending on competitive responses, this significant change to existing law could have an adverse impact on our interest expense. So far this impact has been minimal; however, we suspect it will change once the current low interest rate environment changes.

The Dodd-Frank Act created a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has examination and enforcement authority over all banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets. Savings institutions such as American Federal Savings Bank with $10 billion or less in assets will continued to be examined for compliance with the consumer laws by their primary bank regulators.

The Federal Reserve Board is required to set minimum capital levels for depository institution holding companies that are as stringent as those required for the insured depository subsidiaries, and the components of Tier 1 capital are required to be restricted to capital instruments that are currently considered to be Tier 1 capital for insured depository institutions. There is a five-year transition period (from the July 21, 2010 effective date of the Dodd-Frank Act) before the capital requirements will apply to savings and loan holding companies.

It is difficult to predict at this time what impact the Dodd-Frank Act and its implementing rules will have on community banks like American Federal. However, it is expected that at a minimum they will increase our operating and compliance costs and could increase our interest expense.

If our investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle becomes impaired, our earnings and shareholders’ equity could decrease.

We are required to own common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle to qualify for membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank System and to be eligible to borrow funds under the Federal Home Loan Bank’s advance program. The aggregate cost of our Federal Home Loan Bank common stock as of June 30, 2014 was $XXX million. Federal Home Loan Bank common stock is not a marketable security and can only be redeemed by the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Federal Home Loan Banks may be subject to accounting rules and asset quality risks that could materially lower their regulatory capital. In an extreme situation, it is possible that the capitalization of a Federal Home Loan Bank, including the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle, could be substantially diminished or reduced to zero. Consequently, we believe that there is a risk that our investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle common stock could be deemed impaired at some time in the future, and if this occurs, it would cause our earnings and shareholders’ equity to decrease by the amount of the impairment charge.

Future legislative or regulatory actions responding to perceived financial and market problems could impair our ability to foreclose on collateral.

There have been proposals made by members of Congress and others that would reduce the amount distressed borrowers are otherwise contractually obligated to pay under their mortgage loans and limit an institution’s ability to foreclose on mortgage collateral. Were proposals such as these, or other proposals limiting our rights as a creditor, to be adopted, we could experience increased credit losses or increased expense in pursuing our remedies as a creditor.

Payment of dividends on our shares of common stock is subject to determination and declaration by the Board of Directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including capital requirements, regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends, our results of operations and financial condition, tax considerations and general economic conditions. No assurance can be given that dividends will be declared or, if declared, what the amount of dividends will be, or whether such dividends, once declared, will continue.

On July 1, 2013, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program for 150,000 shares of common stock, effective July 1, 2013. The program was intended to be implemented through purchases made from time to time in the open market or through private transactions. The Company did not purchase any shares of our common stock during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. The repurchase program expired on June 30, 2014.

On July 1, 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to 200,000 shares of its common stock, representing approximately 5.1% of outstanding shares. Under the plan, shares may be purchased by the company on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The extent to which the company repurchases its shares and the timing of such repurchase will depend upon market conditions and other corporate considerations.

The financial review is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes included elsewhere in this report.

Overview

Historically, our principal business has consisted of attracting deposits from the general public and the business community and making loans secured by various types of collateral, including real estate and other consumer assets. We are significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, particularly interest rates, as well as government policies concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions and regulations regarding lending and other operations, privacy and consumer disclosure. Attracting and maintaining deposits is influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing investments offered by other financial and non-financial institutions, account maturities, fee structures, and levels of personal income and savings. Lending activities are affected by the demand for funds and thus are influenced by interest rates, the number and quality of lenders and regional economic conditions. Sources of funds for lending activities include deposits, borrowings, repayments on loans, cash flows from maturities of investment securities and income provided from operations.

Our earnings depend primarily on our level of net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, mortgage-backed securities and other investment securities, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits, borrowed funds, and trust-preferred securities. Net interest income is a function of our interest rate spread, which is the difference between the average yield earned on our interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on our interest- bearing liabilities, as well as a function of the average balance of interest-earning assets compared to interest-bearing liabilities. Also contributing to our earnings is noninterest income, which consists primarily of service charges and fees on loan and deposit products and services, net gains and losses on sale of assets, and mortgage loan service fees. Net interest income and noninterest income are offset by provisions for loan losses, general administrative and other expenses, including salaries and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment costs, as well as by state and federal income tax expense.

American Federal Savings Bank has a strong mortgage lending focus, with the majority of its loan originations in single-family residential mortgages, which has enabled it to successfully market home equity loans, as well as a wide range of shorter term consumer loans for various personal needs (automobiles, recreational vehicles, etc.). In recent years we have also focused on adding commercial loans to our portfolio, both real estate and non-real estate. We have made significant progress in this initiative. As of June 30, 2014, commercial real estate and land loans and commercial business loans represented 33.3% and 12.4% of the total loan portfolio, respectively. The purpose of this diversification is to mitigate our dependence on the mortgage market, as well as to improve our ability to manage our interest rate spread. With the acquisition of the Sterling Bank branches, the investment portfolio grew substantially during the prior fiscal year. As such, management is also focused on decreasing the investment portfolio as a percentage of total assets and offsetting this with growth in the loan portfolio. American Federal Savings Bank’s management recognizes that fee income will also enable it to be less dependent on specialized lending and it now maintains a significant loan serviced portfolio, which provides a steady source of fee income. As of June 30, 2014, we had mortgage servicing rights, net of $3.76 million compared to $3.19 million as of June 30, 2013. Gain on sale of loans also provides significant fee income or noninterest income in periods of high mortgage loan origination volumes. Such income will be adversely affected in periods of lower mortgage activity. Fee income is also supplemented with fees generated from our deposit accounts. American Federal Savings Bank has a high percentage of non-maturity deposits, such as checking accounts and savings accounts, which allows management flexibility in managing its spread. Non-maturity deposits do not automatically reprice as interest rates rise, as do certificates of deposit.

For the past three years, management’s focus has been on improving our core earnings. Core earnings can be described as income before taxes, with the exclusion of gain on sale of loans and adjustments to the market value of our loans serviced portfolio. Management believes that we will need to continue to focus on increasing net interest margin, other areas of fee income, and control operating expenses to achieve earnings growth going forward. Management’s strategy of growing the loan portfolio and deposit base is expected to help achieve these goals: loans typically earn higher rates of return than investments; a larger deposit base will yield higher fee income; increasing the asset base will reduce the relative impact of fixed operating costs. The biggest challenge to management’s strategy is funding the growth of our balance sheet in an efficient manner. Though deposit growth this last year was steady, it may become more difficult to maintain due to significant competition and possible reduced customer demand for deposits as customers may shift into other asset classes.

Other than in limited circumstances for certain high-credit-quality customers, we do not offer “interest only” mortgage loans on one- to four-family residential properties (where the borrower pays interest but no principal for an initial period, after which the loan converts to a fully amortizing loan). We also do not offer loans that provide for negative amortization of principal, such as “Option ARM” loans, where the borrower can pay less than the interest owed on their loan, resulting in an increased principal balance during the life of the loan. We do not offer “subprime loans” (loans that generally target borrowers with weakened credit histories typically characterized by payment delinquencies, previous charge-offs, judgments, bankruptcies, or borrowers with questionable repayment capacity as evidenced by low credit scores or high debt-burden ratios) or Alt-A loans (traditionally defined as loans having less than full documentation).

The level and movement of interest rates impacts the Bank’s earnings as well. The Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) did not change the federal funds target rate which remained at 0.25% during the year ended June 30, 2014.

From time to time the Bank has considered growth through mergers or acquisition as an alternative to its strategy of organic growth. On June 29, 2012, the Bank entered into a definitive agreement with Sterling Savings Bank, a Washington state-chartered bank, to acquire Sterling’s banking operations in the state of Montana, including seven branch locations, certain deposit liabilities, loans and other assets and liabilities associated with such branch locations. As a result of this acquisition, which closed on November 30, 2012, the Bank acquired approximately $182.5 million in additional assets, including approximately $41.3 million of pass-rated performing loans and assumed $181.6 million in new deposits. The Bank has experienced an increase in mortgage loan originations due to the Sterling acquisition. Deposit fee income has also increased due to the increase in the number of accounts. Operating expenses, primarily salaries and employee benefits have increased as a result of the acquisition. The Bank is currently engaged in a review of staffing and other efficiency measures which it expects will reduce operating expenses in the upcoming fiscal year. The Bank received approximately $130.0 million in cash in the transaction, which may not be able to be immediately used to fund loans. While a substantial amount of the cash has been invested in securities, it may require additional time to deploy all of the proceeds to fund loans.

The branch acquisition complements the Bank’s existing growth strategy by expanding into the southern Montana market and more than doubling the Bank’s retail branch network from six to 13 locations. Of the seven acquired branches six are in new markets for the Bank, including two in Missoula, one in Billings, and one each in Hamilton, Livingston and Big Timber. The seventh is in Bozeman where the Bank already has a presence. After the acquisition, the Bank became the sixth largest Montana-based banking institution.

In addition, the transaction also strengthens the Bank’s mortgage origination franchise and adds a wealth management business headquartered in Bozeman, Montana. The addition of Sterling’s Montana mortgage banking unit has more than doubled the Bank’s mortgage banking business. This increase in the mortgage banking business and the addition of a wealth management business has increased the Bank’s noninterest income and furthered the Bank’s strategy to increase fee income to complement its margin.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-4, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) related to residential real estate to 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 amendment requires 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 new guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2015 and is not expected to have a significant impact to the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance is a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede substantially all existing revenue recognition guidance. The new standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under existing guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The new standard will be effective in the first quarter of 2017 and is not expected to have a significant impact to the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-14, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) — Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure: (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. The amendment changes the accounting for foreclosed home loans with government backed guarantees. The amendment requires lenders to measure the unpaid principal and interest they expect to recover through the loan guarantee. The loan should be removed from the lender's asset total and added to the balance sheet as a new receivable. The amendments will become effective for public companies for fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2014. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain accounting policies are important to the understanding of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances, including, but without limitation, changes in interest rates, performance of the economy, financial condition of borrowers and laws and regulations. The following are the accounting policies we believe are critical.

Allowance for Loan Losses. We recognize that losses will be experienced on loans and that the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the type of loan, the creditworthiness of the borrower, general economic conditions and the quality of the collateral for the loan. We maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable losses based on all available information. The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio, including past loan loss experience, known and inherent losses, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, and current economic conditions. The loan portfolio and other credit exposures are regularly reviewed by management in its determination of the allowance for loan losses. The methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance includes a review of historical losses, internal data including delinquencies among others, industry data, and economic conditions.

As an integral part of their examination process, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency will periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to make additional provisions for estimated losses based upon judgments different from those of management. In establishing the allowance for loan losses, loss factors are applied to various pools of outstanding loans. Loss factors are derived using our historical loss experience and may be adjusted for factors that affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. Commercial business loans that are criticized are evaluated individually to determine the required allowance for loan losses and to evaluate the potential impairment of such loans under FASB ASC 310 Receivables. Although management believes that it uses the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary and results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations. Because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or that increases will not be necessary should the quality of loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed previously. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. The allowance is based on information known at the time of the review. Changes in factors underlying the assessment could have a material impact on the amount of the allowance that is necessary and the amount of provision to be charged against earnings. Such changes could impact future results.

Valuation of Investment Securities. Substantially all of our investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at current fair value. Unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred taxes, are reported in other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices of identical assets, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon valuation models that use cash flow, security structure and other observable information. Where sufficient data is not available to produce a fair valuation, fair value is based on broker quotes for similar assets. Broker quotes may be adjusted to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. Adjustments may include unobservable parameters, among other things. No adjustments were made to any broker quotes received by us.

We conduct a quarterly review and evaluation of our investment securities to determine if any declines in fair value are other than temporary. In making this determination, we consider the period of time the securities were in a loss position, the percentage decline in comparison to the securities’ amortized cost, the financial condition of the issuer, if applicable, and the delinquency or default rates of underlying collateral. We consider our intent to sell the investment securities and the likelihood that we will not have to sell the investment securities before recovery of their cost basis. If impairment exists, credit related impairment losses are recorded in earnings while noncredit related impairment losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Deferred Income Taxes. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as prescribed in FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes. Using this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. If current available information raises doubt as to the realization of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance is established. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We exercise significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax liabilities and assets. These judgments require us to make projections of future taxable income. The judgments and estimates we make in determining our deferred tax assets, which are inherently subjective, are reviewed on an ongoing basis as regulatory and business factors change. A reduction in estimated future taxable income could require us to record a valuation allowance. Changes in levels of valuation allowances could result in increased income tax expense, and could negatively affect earnings.

Financial Condition

Introduction.

Total assets increased $28.58 million, or 5.6%, to $539.11 million at June 30, 2014, from $510.53 million at June 30, 2013. The loan portfolio increased $59.31 million or 27.6%, to $273.99 million at June 30, 2014. Securities available-for-sale decreased $29.41 million or 13.4%, to $189.55 million at June 30, 2014. Total liabilities increased by $26.10 million, or 5.7%, to $487.40 million at June 30, 2014, from $461.30 million at June 30, 2013. Total deposits increased $9.30 million or 2.2%, to $427.05 million at June 30, 2014. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances and other borrowings increased $16.59 million or 47.6%, to $51.45 million at June 30, 2014.

Balance Sheet Details.

Almost all categories of securities available-for-sale decreased during the period with the largest decrease in collateralized mortgage obligations of $14.87 million or 31.2%. The only increase during the period was in mortgage-backed securities which increased $2.23 million or 8.4%.

The main components of the increase in loans receivable of $59.31 million were residential mortgage loans which increased by $21.87 million, commercial real estate loans increasing by $17.64 million and commercial loans increasing by $12.63 million. Home equity, consumer loans and construction loans also increased. Total loan originations were $297.78 million for the year ended June 30, 2014, with single family mortgages accounting for $212.76 million of the total. Home equity and construction loan originations totaled $12.92 million and $10.27 million, respectively, for the same period. Commercial real estate and land loan originations totaled $41.42 million. Consumer loans originated totaled $8.23 million. Commercial loans originated totaled $12.18 million, with $3.34 million originating from loan syndication programs with borrowers residing outside of Montana. Loans held-for-sale decreased $3.56 million, to $17.25 million at June 30, 2014 from $20.81 million at June 30, 2013. One of the chief objectives of the Sterling branch acquisition was to expand the Bank’s footprint across southern Montana. The amount of loans acquired was relatively small in comparison to the deposits acquired. As a result, the Bank’s loan to deposit ratio declined substantially. The Bank’s strategy has been to actively market and solicit commercial and commercial real estate loans while using investment portfolio proceeds to help fund the loan growth.

Growth occurred across most deposit products with the exception of time certificates of deposits which decreased slightly during the period. Noninterest checking increased $5.46 million or 10.3%, to $58.43 million at June 30, 2014, and money market accounts increased $2.53 million, or 3.0%. Interest bearing checking accounts increased $2.16 million, or 3.3%, to $68.03 million at June 30, 2014. Management attributes the organic increase in deposits to increased marketing of checking accounts as well as customers’ preference for placing funds in secure, federally insured accounts. Certificates of deposits decreased $5.30 million, or 3.4%, to $152.20 million at June 30, 2014.

Advances from the FHLB and other borrowings increased $16.59 million primarily due to the use of short-term FHLB advances to fund the Bank’s mortgage banking operations during the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Total stockholders’ equity increased $2.48 million or 5.0%, to $51.71 million at June 30, 2014 from $49.23 million at June 30, 2013. This was primarily a result of net income of $2.11 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.13 million (mainly due to a decrease in net unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale) partially offset by dividends paid of $1.14 million.

Analysis of Net Interest Income

The Bank’s earnings have historically depended primarily upon net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and any borrowed funds. It is the single largest component of Eagle’s operating income. Net interest income is affected by (i) the difference between rates of interest earned on loans and investments and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings (the “interest rate spread”) and (ii) the relative amounts of loans and investments and interest-bearing deposits and borrowings.

The following table includes average balances for balance sheet items, as well as, interest and dividends and average yields related to the average balances.. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields include the effect of deferred fees and discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

Net Income.

Eagle’s net income increased slightly to $2.11 million for the year ended June 30, 2014 from $1.97 million for the year ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $138,000. This increase was the result of an increase in net interest income of $2.69 million and a reduction in provision for loan losses of $70,000, offset by a decrease in noninterest income of $273,000 and an increase in noninterest expense of $2.05 million. Eagles’ tax benefit was also $300,000 lower in fiscal year 2014. Basic earnings per share for the year ended June 30, 2014 were $0.54, compared to $0.51 for the year ended June 30, 2013. Diluted earnings per share were $0.53 and $0.50 for 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Net Interest Income.

Net interest income increased to $15.24 million for the year ended June 30, 2014, from $12.55 million for the previous year. This increase of $2.69 million, or 21.4%, was the result of an increase in interest income of $2.48 million and a decrease in interest expense of $202,000. As shown in the “Rate/Volume Analysis,” this increase was mainly attributable to larger balances of loans and a decrease in rates on all liabilities partially offset by lower rates on interest earning assets and larger balances on deposits.

Interest and Dividend Income.

Total interest and dividend income was $17.28 million for the year ended June 30, 2014, compared to $14.80 million for the year ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $2.48 million, or 16.8%. Interest and fees on loans increased to $12.99 million for 2014 from $11.20 million for 2013. The increase of $1.79, or 16.0%, was due to an increase in the average balances on loans receivable partially offset by the decrease in average rates for the year ended June 30, 2014. Specifically, the average interest rate earned on loans receivable decreased by 39 basis points to 4.98% from 5.37% for the prior year. Average balances for loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, net, for the year ended June 30, 2014 were $260.83 million, compared to $208.64 million for the previous year. This represents an increase of $52.18 million, or 25.0%. Interest and dividends on investment securities available-for-sale also increased to $4.29 million for the year ended June 30, 2014 from $3.57 million for the year ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $717,000, or 20.1%. This increase was the result of higher average balances for the available-for-sale portfolio during the year. Average balances for investment securities was $200.23 million for the year ended June 30, 2014 compared to $167.12 million for the year ended June 30, 2013. Interest earned from deposits at other banks decreased for the year ended June 30, 2014 due to smaller average balances.

Interest Expense.

Total interest expense decreased to $2.04 million for the year ended June 30, 2014 from $2.24 million for the year ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $202,000, or 9.0%. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in interest on borrowings partially offset by an increase in expense on deposits. Interest on deposits increased to $1.29 million for the year ended June 30, 2014 from $1.20 million for the year ended June 30, 2013. This increase of $96,000, or 8.0%, was due to an increase in average balances partially offset by a decrease in average rates. Average balances for interest bearing deposits increased from $291.83 million to $370.91 million, a total increase of $79.07 million, or 27.1%. All deposit categories experienced increases in average balances in 2014. The average cost of deposits decreased 6 basis points, to 0.35% in 2014 from 0.41% in 2013. All deposit categories experienced decreases in average rates in 2014. The decrease in the average balance of borrowings was augmented by a decrease in the average rate paid and resulted in a decrease in interest paid on borrowings to $751,000 for the year ended June 30, 2014 from $1.05 million for the year ended June 30, 2013. The average balance of borrowings decreased by $1.87 million to $36.91 million for the year ended June 30, 2014, compared to $38.78 million for the year ended June 30, 2013 and resulted from decreases in average FHLB borrowings and other borrowings stemming from inflows of retail deposits as funding sources. The average rate paid on borrowings decreased to 2.03% in 2014 from 2.70% in 2013.

Provision for Loan Losses.

Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate by the Bank to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience, volume and type of lending we conduct and past due loans in portfolio. The Bank’s policies require the review of assets on a quarterly basis. The Bank classifies loans as well as other assets if warranted. While management believes it uses the best information available to make a determination with respect to the allowance for loan losses, it recognizes that future adjustments may be necessary. Using this methodology, a provision to increase the allowance for loan loss by $608,000 was made for the year ended June 30, 2014 while a provision of $678,000 million was made for the year ended June 30, 2013. The decrease from 2013 is based on an analysis of a variety of factors including delinquencies within the loan portfolio. Management believes the level of total allowances is adequate. Total classified assets decreased to $2.10 million at June 30, 2014 from $2.56 million at June 30, 2013. Total nonperforming loans as a percentage of the total loan portfolio decreased to 0.19% at June 30, 2014, from 0.36% at June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, American Federal Savings Bank had $458,000 in other real estate owned, a decrease of $92,000 from $550,000 held at June 30, 2013.

Noninterest Income.

Total noninterest income decreased to $10.04 million for the year ended June 30, 2014, from $10.31 million for the year ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $273,000 or 2.6%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in net gain on sale of loans of $831,000 and a net decrease of $267,000 in the value of the fair-value-hedge interest rate swap implemented in August 2010. Net gain on sale of available-for-sale securities also decreased $188,000. These decreases were partially offset by increases in mortgage loan servicing fees and service charges on deposit accounts. Mortgage loan servicing fees increased $348,000 primarily due to higher balances of residential mortgage loans serviced by the Company. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $212,000 due to an increased number of deposit accounts as a result of the Sterling branch acquisition. Other noninterest income also increased $477,000 largely due to increased income of $316,000 from our wealth management division.

Noninterest Expense.

Noninterest expense increased by $2.05 million or 9.8% to $22.91 million for the year ended June 30, 2014 from $20.86 million for the year ended June 30, 2013. This increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $2.48 million resulting from the increase in staff from the Sterling branch acquisition. Occupancy and equipment expense and data processing also increased by $1.08 million as the result of the Sterling branch acquisition and now operating a larger entity. There were no acquisition costs for the year ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1.92 for the same period last year as the acquisition was fully completed by the third quarter of fiscal year 2013. Consulting fees increased $404,000 due to an on-going review of staffing and efficiency measures in fiscal 2014.

Income Tax.

Eagle’s income tax benefit was $350,000 for the year ended June 30, 2014, compared to $650,000 for the year ended June 30, 2013. The effective tax rate was negative 19.88% for the year ended June 30, 2014 and negative 49.13% for the year ended June 30, 2013. Though pretax income is higher in the current period the percent of tax free municipal bond income and Bank owned life insurance income to total income increased, thus reducing the effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was further reduced by a tax credit investment entered into by the Company in 2013. The Company made an investment in Certified Development Entities which have received allocations of New Markets Tax Credits (“NMTC”). Administered by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the NMTC program is aimed at stimulating economic and community development and job creation in low-income communities. The federal income tax credits received are claimed over a seven-year credit allowance period. The federal tax credit benefits were $380,000 for the year ended June 30, 2014. In addition, the deductibility for tax purposes of goodwill resulting from the Sterling acquisition has helped reduce the Company’s effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Eagle’s subsidiary, American Federal Savings Bank, is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regulations. The liquidity requirement is retained for safety and soundness purposes, and that appropriate levels of liquidity will depend upon the types of activities in which the company engages. For internal reporting purposes, the Bank uses policy minimums of 1.0%, and 8.0% for “basic surplus” and “basic surplus with FHLB” as internally defined. In general, the “basic surplus” is a calculation of the ratio of unencumbered short-term assets reduced by estimated percentages of CD maturities and other deposits that may leave the Bank in the next 90 days divided by total assets. “Basic surplus with FHLB” adds to “basic surplus” the additional borrowing capacity the Bank has with the FHLB of Seattle. The Bank exceeded those minimum ratios as of both June 30, 2014 and 2013.

The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investments, funds provided from operations, advances from the FHLB of Seattle and other borrowings. Scheduled repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturities of investment securities are generally predictable. However, other sources of funds, such as deposit flows and loan prepayments, can be greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank uses liquidity resources principally to fund existing and future loan commitments. It also uses them to fund maturing certificates of deposit, demand deposit withdrawals and to invest in other loans and investments, maintain liquidity, and meet operating expenses.

Net cash provided by the Company’s operating activities, which is primarily comprised of cash transactions affecting net income, was $9.60 million for the year ended June 30, 2014 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $6.87 million for the year ended June 30, 2013. Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2014 was primarily a result of a decrease in the amount of loans held-for-sale. Net cash used in operating activities for fiscal 2013 was primarily due to an increase in the amount of loans held-for-sale.

Net cash used in the Company’s investing activities, which is primarily comprised of cash transactions from the investment securities and mortgage-backed securities portfolios and the loan portfolio, was $33.69 million for the year ended June 30, 2014 compared to $13.13 million for the year ended June 30, 2013. Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2014 is due in part to loan originations being higher than loan pay-off and principal payments during the year. Loan origination and principal collection, net was $61.17 million for fiscal 2014. In addition, there was $44.74 million in available-for-sale security purchases during fiscal 2014. These uses of cash were partially offset by available-for-sale security sales and maturities, principal payments and calls of $74.40 million. The net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2013 was primarily due to purchases of available-for-sale securities, partially offset by cash received for the Sterling branch acquisition.

Net cash provided by the Company’s financing activities was $24.75 million for the year ended June 30, 2014 compared to $6.35 million for the year ended June 30, 2013. Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 2014 was primarily a result of a net increase in FHLB advances and other borrowings of $16.59 million, as well as a net increase in deposits of $9.29 million. Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 2013 was due to a net increase in deposits of $15.30 million, partially offset by net payments on FHLB advances and other borrowings of $7.84 million.

Liquidity may be adversely affected by unexpected deposit outflows, higher interest rates paid by competitors, and similar matters. Management monitors projected liquidity needs and determines the level desirable based in part on Eagle’s commitments to make loans and management’s assessment of Eagle’s ability to generate funds.

At May 31, 2014 (the most recent report available), the Bank’s internally determined measurement of sensitivity to interest rate movements as measured by a 200 basis point rise in interest rates scenario, decreased the economic value of equity (“EVE”) by 17.8%. The Bank is within the guidelines set forth by the Board of Directors for interest rate sensitivity. The Bank’s tier I core capital ratio, as measured under OCC rules, decreased slightly from 8.64% as of June 30, 2013 to 8.43% as of June 30, 2014. The Bank’s strong capital position helps to mitigate its interest rate risk exposure.

As of June 30, 2014, the Bank’s regulatory capital was in excess of all applicable regulatory requirements and the Bank is deemed “well capitalized” pursuant to OCC rules. At June 30, 2014, the Bank’s tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios amounted to 8.43%, 8.43% and 14.27%, respectively, compared to regulatory requirements of 1.50%, 3.00% and 8.00%, respectively.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are found in Item 8, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than do the general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Interest Rate Risk Analysis

In addition to the asset/liability committee, the board of directors reviews our asset and liability policies. The board of directors reviews interest rate risk and interest rate trends quarterly, as well as liquidity and capital ratio requirements. Management administers the policies and determinations of the board of directors with respect to our asset and liability goals and strategies. Our asset and liability policy and strategies are expected to continue as described so long as competitive and regulatory conditions in the financial institution industry and market interest rates continue as they have in recent years.

The following table discloses how the Bank’s EVE would react to interest rate changes. Given the current relatively low level of market interest rates, an EVE calculation for an interest rate decrease of greater than 100 basis points has not been prepared.

Changes in Market Interest Rates (Basis Points)	Economic Value of Equity as % Change of PV
Changes in Market Interest Rates (Basis Points)	At June 30, 2014 Projected EVE	Board Policy Limit (if applicable)
		Must be no greater than:
+300	-26.8%	-30.0%
+200	-17.8%	-20.0%
+100	-8.6%	-10.0%
0	0%	0%
-100	3.9%	-10.0%

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. In addition, we use mandatory sell forward delivery commitments to sell whole loans to the secondary markets. These commitments are also used as a hedge against exposure to interest rate risks relating from rate locked loan origination commitments on certain mortgage loans held-for-sale.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as amended, as of June 30, 2014, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of June 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment was based upon the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting involves a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes the controls themselves, as well as monitoring of the controls and internal auditing practices and actions to correct deficiencies identified. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014. Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2014, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Eagle) as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended June 30, 2014. Eagle’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended June 30, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

On April 5, 2010, Eagle Bancorp completed its second-step conversion from the partially-public mutual holding company structure to the fully publicly-owned stock holding company structure. As part of that transaction it also completed a related stock offering. As a result of the conversion and offering, Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (“the Company”, or “Eagle”) became the stock holding company for American Federal Savings Bank (“the Bank”), and Eagle Financial MHC and Eagle Bancorp ceased to exist. The Company sold a total of 2,464,274 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share in the offering for gross proceeds of $24.6 million. Concurrent with the completion of the offering, shares of Eagle Bancorp common stock owned by the public were exchanged. Shareholders of Eagle Bancorp received 3.800 shares of the Company's common stock for each share of Eagle Bancorp common stock that they owned immediately prior to completion of the transaction.

The Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), which purchased shares in the Offering, was authorized to purchase up to 8% of the shares sold in the Offering, or 197,142 shares. The ESOP completed its purchase of all such authorized shares in the Offering, at a total cost of $1,971,420.

The Bank is currently a federally chartered savings bank and was previously subject to the regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”). These regulations were transferred to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) effective July 21, 2011. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System and its deposit accounts are insured to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

The Bank is headquartered in Helena, Montana, and operates additional branches in Butte, Bozeman, Billings, Big Timber, Livingston, Missoula, Hamilton and Townsend, Montana. It also operates two separate mortgage loan origination locations in Bozeman and Missoula, Montana. The Bank’s market area is concentrated in southern Montana, to which it primarily offers commercial, residential and consumer loans. The Bank’s principal business is accepting deposits and, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, investing in various types of loans and securities. Collectively, Eagle Bancorp Montana Inc. and its subsidiaries are referred to herein as “the Company.”

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eagle Bancorp Montana Inc. the Bank, Eagle Bancorp Statutory Trust I, and AFSB NMTC Investment Fund, LLC. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statement of financial condition and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing rights, the valuation of financial instruments, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation of foreclosed assets. In connection with the determination of the estimated losses on loans, foreclosed assets, and valuation of mortgage servicing rights, management obtains independent appraisals and valuations.

Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk

Most of the Company’s business activity is with customers located within Montana. Note 3 discusses the types of securities that the Company invests in. Note 4 discusses the types of lending that the Company engages in. The Company does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer.

The Company carries certain assets with other financial institutions which are subject to credit risk by the amount such assets exceed federal deposit insurance limits. At June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, no account balances were held with correspondent banks that were in excess of FDIC insured levels, except for federal funds sold or deposit balances held at FHLB Seattle. Also, from time to time, the Company is due amounts in excess of FDIC insurance limits for checks and transit items. Management monitors the financial stability of correspondent banks and considers amounts advanced in excess of FDIC insurance limits to present no significant additional risk to the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance sheet captions “cash and due from banks,” “interest-bearing deposits in banks,” and “federal funds sold” all of which mature within ninety days.

The Bank is required to maintain a reserve balance with the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank properly maintained amounts in excess of required reserves of $0 as of June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Investment Securities

The Company can designate debt and equity securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading. Currently all securities are designated as available-for-sale.

Held-to-maturity – Debt investment securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at their remaining unpaid principal balance, net of unamortized premiums or unaccreted discounts. Premiums are amortized and discounts are accreted using the interest method over the period remaining until maturity.

Investment Securities – continued

Available-for-sale – Investment securities that will be held for indefinite periods of time, including securities that may be sold in response to changes in market interest or prepayment rates, need for liquidity, and changes in the availability of and the yield of alternative investments, are classified as available-for-sale. These assets are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are reported as other comprehensive income. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

Declines in the fair value of individual held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary are recognized by write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. Such write-downs would be included in earnings as realized losses.

Trading – No investment securities were designated as trading at June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The Company’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock is a restricted investment carried at cost ($100 per share par value), which approximates its fair value. As a member of the FHLB system, the Company is required to maintain a minimum level of investment in FHLB stock based on specific percentages of its outstanding FHLB advances. The Company may request redemption at par value of any stock in excess of the amount it is required to hold. Stock redemptions are made at the discretion of the FHLB. The Bank redeemed 531 shares during the year ended June 30, 2014 and 712 in the year ended June 30, 2013.

Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale

Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value, determined in aggregate, plus the fair value of associated derivative financial instruments. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized in a valuation allowance by a charge to income.

Loans

The Company grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans in Montana. At June 30, 2014 and 2013, the ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the general economic conditions in this area.

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances net of any unearned income, allowance for loan losses, and unamortized deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or unaccreted discounts on purchased loans. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs are deferred and amortized over the contractual life of the loan, and recorded as an adjustment to the yield, using the interest method.

Loans – continued

Loan Origination/Risk Management. The Company selectively extends credit for the purpose of establishing long-term relationships with its customers. The Company mitigates the risks inherent in lending by focusing on businesses and individuals with demonstrated payment history, historically favorable profitability trends and stable cash flows. In addition to these primary sources of repayment, the Company looks to tangible collateral and personal guarantees as secondary sources of repayment. Lending officers are provided with detailed underwriting policies covering all lending activities in which the Company is engaged and that require all lenders to obtain appropriate approvals for the extension of credit. The Company also maintains documentation requirements and extensive credit quality assurance practices in order to identify credit portfolio weaknesses as early as possible so any exposures that are discovered may be reduced.

A reporting system supplements the loan review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming and potential problem loans. Diversification in the loan portfolio is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions.

The company regularly contracts for independent loan reviews that validate the credit risk program. Results of these reviews are presented to management. The loan review process compliments and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures.

1-4 Family Residential Mortgages. The Company’s primary lending activity consists of the origination of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans collateralized by owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied real estate. Repayment of these loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy to a greater extent than other types of loans. Loans collateralized by 1-4 family residential real estate generally have been originated in amounts up to 80% of appraised values before requiring private mortgage insurance. The underwriting analysis includes credit verification, appraisals and a review of the financial condition of the borrower. The Company will either hold these loans in its portfolio or sell them on the secondary market, depending upon market conditions and the type and term of the loan originations. Generally, all 30-year fixed rate loans are sold in the secondary market.

Commercial Real Estate Mortgages and Land Loans. The Company makes commercial real estate loans and land loans collateralized by owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied real estate. Payments on loans secured by such properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties. Accordingly, repayment of these loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy to a greater extent than other types of loans. When underwriting these loans, the Company seeks to minimize these risks in a variety of ways, including giving careful consideration to the property’s operating history, future operating projections, current and projected occupancy, location and physical condition. The underwriting analysis also includes credit verification, analysis of global cash flow, appraisals and a review of the financial condition of the borrower.

Loans – continued

Construction. The Company makes loans to finance the construction of residential and non-residential properties. The majority of the Company’s residential construction loans are made to both individual homeowners for the construction of their primary residence and, to a lesser extent, to local builders for the construction of pre-sold houses or houses that are being built for sale in the future. The Company also originates loans to finance the construction of commercial properties such as multi-family, office, industrial, warehouse and retail centers. Construction loans involve additional risks attributable to the fact that loan funds are advanced upon the security of a project under construction, and the project is of uncertain value prior to its completion. Because of uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs, the market value of the completed project and the effects of governmental regulation on real property, it can be difficult to accurately evaluate the total funds required to complete a project and the related loan to value ratio. As a result of these uncertainties, construction lending often involves the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the ultimate project rather than the ability of a borrower or guarantor to repay the loan. If the Company is forced to foreclose on a project prior to completion, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to recover the entire unpaid portion of the loan. In addition, the Company may be required to fund additional amounts to complete a project and may have to hold the property for an indeterminable period of time. While the Company has underwriting procedures designed to identify what it believes to be acceptable levels of risks in construction lending, no assurance can be given that these procedures will prevent losses from the risks described above.

Home Equity Loans. The Company originates home equity loans that are secured by the borrowers’ primary residence. These loans are typically subject to a prior lien, which may or may not be held by the Company. Although these loans are secured by real estate, they carry a greater risk than first lien 1-4 family residential mortgages because of the existence of a prior lien on the property as well as the flexibility the borrower has with respect to the proceeds. The Company attempts to minimize this risk by maintaining conservative underwriting policies on these types of loans. Generally, home equity loans are made for up to 85% of the appraised value of the underlying real estate collateral, less the amount of any existing prior liens on the property securing the loan.

Consumer Loans. Consumer loans made by the Company include automobile loans, recreational vehicle loans, boat loans, personal loans, credit lines, loans secured by deposit accounts and other personal loans. Risk is minimized due to relatively small loan amounts that are spread across many individual borrowers.

Commercial and Industrial Loans. A broad array of commercial lending products are made available to businesses for working capital (including inventory and accounts receivable), purchases of equipment and machinery and business. Generally, the Company’s commercial loans are underwritten on the basis of the borrower’s ability to service such debt as reflected by cash flow projections. Commercial loans are generally collateralized by business assets, accounts receivable and inventory, certificates of deposit, securities, guarantees or other collateral. The Company also generally obtains personal guarantees from the principals of the business. Working capital loans are primarily collateralized by short-term assets, whereas term loans are primarily collateralized by long-term assets. As a result, commercial loans involve additional complexities, variables and risks and require more thorough underwriting and servicing than other types of loans.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Loans – continued

Non-Accrual and Past Due Loans: Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. In determining whether or not a borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations for each class of loans, the Company considers the borrower's debt service capacity through the analysis of current financial information, if available, and/or current information with regards to the Company's collateral position. Regulatory provisions would typically require the placement of a loan on non-accrual status if (i) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection or (ii) full payment of principal and interest is not expected. Loans may be placed on non-accrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

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 uncollectibility 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 by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility 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 revisions as more information becomes available.

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

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Loans – continued

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. 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 the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans

A troubled debt restructured loan is a loan in which the Company grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider, for reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties. The loan terms which have been modified or restructured due to a borrower's financial difficulty, include but are not limited to a reduction in the stated interest rate; an extension of the maturity at an interest rate below current market rates; a reduction in the face amount of the debt; a reduction in the accrued interest; or re-aging, extensions, deferrals, renewals and rewrites or a combination of these modification methods. A troubled debt restructured loan would generally be considered impaired in the year of modification and will be assessed periodically for continued impairment.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through sale of financial assets. Generally, purchased servicing rights are capitalized at the cost to acquire the rights. For sales of mortgage loans, a portion of the cost of originating the loan is allocated to the servicing right based on relative fair value. Fair value is based on a market price valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Mortgage Servicing Rights – continued

Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into tranches based on predominant characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual tranche, to the extent that the fair value is less than the capitalized amount for the tranches. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular tranche, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. Capitalized servicing rights are reported as assets and are amortized into noninterest expense in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets.

Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance

Life insurance policies are initially recorded at cost at the date of purchase. Subsequent to purchase, the policies are periodically adjusted for fair value. The adjustment to fair value increases or decreases the carrying value of the policies and is recorded as an income or expense on the consolidated statement of income. For the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 there were no adjustments to fair value that were outside the normal appreciation in cash surrender value.

Foreclosed Assets

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling cost at the date of foreclosure. All write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, property held-for-sale is carried at fair value less cost to sell. Impairment losses on property to be held and used are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a property exceeds its fair value. Costs of significant property improvements are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding property are expensed. Valuations are periodically performed by management, and any subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to operations, if necessary, to reduce the carrying value of a property to the lower of its cost or fair value less cost to sell.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the expected useful lives of the assets, ranging from 3 to 40 years. The costs of maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while major expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Income Taxes

The Company adopted authoritative guidance related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions.

Income Taxes – continued

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

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

The Company recognizes interest accrued on penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized no interest and penalties. Based on management’s analysis, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2014 or 2013. The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Montana. There are currently no income tax examinations underway for these jurisdictions. The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by relevant taxing authorities as follows: U.S. Federal income tax returns for tax years 2011 and forward; Montana income tax returns for tax years 2011 and forward.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is accounted for on the cost method and consists of 166,894 shares in 2014 and 184,442 shares in 2013.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $816,000 and $946,000 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Compensation expense recognized for the Company’s ESOP equals the fair value of shares that have been allocated or committed to be released for allocation to participants. Any difference between the fair value of the shares at the time and the ESOP’s original acquisition cost is charged or credited to shareholders’ equity (capital surplus). The cost of ESOP shares that have not yet been allocated or committed to be released is deducted from shareholders’ equity.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per common share is computed using the two-class method prescribed under ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” ASC Topic 260 provides that unvested share based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Corporation has determined that its outstanding non-vested stock awards are participating securities. Under the two-class method, basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings allocated to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period, excluding outstanding participating securities. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares determined for the basic earnings per common share computation plus the dilutive effect of stock compensation using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of the weighted-average shares used in calculating basic earnings per common share and the weighted average common shares used in calculating diluted earnings per common share for the reported periods is provided in Note 2 - Earnings Per Share.

Derivatives

Derivatives are recognized as assets and liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial condition and measured at fair value. For exchange-traded contracts, fair value is based on quoted market prices. For nonexchange traded contracts, fair value is based on dealer quotes, pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques for which the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

For asset/liability management purposes, the Company uses interest rate swap agreements to hedge various exposures or to modify interest rate characteristics of various balance sheet accounts. Interest rate swaps are contracts in which a series of interest rate flows are exchanged over a prescribed period. The notional amount on which the interest payments are based is not exchanged. These swap agreements are derivative instruments and generally convert a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt to a fixed rate (cash flow hedge), and convert a portion of its fixed-rate loans to a variable rate (fair value hedge).

The gain or loss on a derivative designated and qualifying as a fair value hedging instrument, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged, is recognized currently in earnings in the same accounting period. The effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative designated and qualifying as a cash flow hedging instrument is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, if any, is recognized currently in earnings.

For cash flow hedges, the net settlement (upon close-out or termination) that offsets changes in the value of the hedged debt is deferred and amortized into net interest income over the life of the hedged debt. For fair value hedges, the net settlement (upon close-out or termination) that offsets changes in the value of the loans adjusts the basis of the loans and is deferred and amortized to loan interest income over the life of the loans.

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Derivatives – continued

The portion, if any, of the net settlement amount that did not offset changes in the value of the hedged asset or liability is recognized immediately in noninterest income.

Interest rate derivative financial instruments receive hedge accounting treatment only if they are designated as a hedge and are expected to be, and are, effective in substantially reducing interest rate risk arising from the assets and liabilities identified as exposing the Company to risk. Those derivative financial instruments that do not meet specified hedging criteria would be recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in income. If periodic assessment indicates derivatives no longer provide an effective hedge, the derivative contracts would be closed out and settled, or classified as a trading activity.

Cash flows resulting from the derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as hedges of assets and liabilities are classified in the cash flow statement in the same category as the cash flows of the items being hedged.

Derivative Loan Commitments

Mortgage loan commitments that relate to the origination of a mortgage that will be held-for-sale upon funding are considered derivative instruments. Loan commitments that are derivatives are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet in other assets and other liabilities with changes in their fair values recorded in noninterest income.

The Company adopted the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 109, “Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings” and began including the value associated with servicing of loans in the measurement of all written loan commitments issued after that date. SAB No. 109 requires that the expected net future cash flows related to servicing of a loan be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. In estimating fair value, the Company assigns a probability to a loan commitment based on an expectation that it will be exercised and the loan will be funded. The adoption of SAB No. 109 generally has resulted in higher fair values being recorded upon initial recognition of derivative loan commitments.

Forward Loan Sale Commitments

The Company carefully evaluates all loan sales agreements to determine whether they meet the definition of a derivative as facts and circumstances may differ significantly. If agreements qualify, to protect against the price risk inherent in derivative loan commitments, the Company uses both “mandatory delivery” and “best efforts” forward loan sale commitments to mitigate the risk of potential decreases in the values of loans that would result from the exercise of the derivative loan commitments. Mandatory delivery contracts are accounted for as derivative instruments. Accordingly, forward loan sale commitments are recognized at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial condition in other assets and liabilities with changes in their fair values recorded in other noninterest income.

The Company estimates the fair value of its forward loan sales commitments using a methodology similar to that used for derivative loan commitments.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company—put presumptively beyond the reach of the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.

Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Authoritative guidance requires that all business combinations initiated after December 31, 2001, be accounted for under the purchase method and addresses the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination. The guidance also addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired in a business combination and the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. The guidance provides that intangible assets with finite useful lives be amortized and that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives not be amortized, but rather be tested at least annually for impairment.

The goodwill recorded for the acquisition of the branches of Sterling Bank in the second quarter of 2013 was $6,890,000 and is not subject to amortization in accordance with the guidance. Final valuation adjustments were recorded in the second quarter of 2014 for $144,000 and impacted goodwill. The final goodwill recorded related to the acquisition was $7,034,000. The Company performs a goodwill impairment test annually. There have been no reductions of recorded goodwill resulting from the impairment tests. Other identifiable intangible assets recorded by the Company represent the future benefit associated with the acquisition of the core deposits of the Sterling Branches and are being amortized over 7 years utilizing a method that approximates the expected attrition of the deposits. This amortization expense is included in the noninterest expense section of the consolidated statements of income.

The Company’s investment policy requires that the Company purchase only high-grade investment securities. Most municipal obligations are categorized as “A” or better by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. These ratings are achieved because the securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the municipality and also supported by third-party credit insurance policies.

NOTE 3: Investment Securities – continued

At June 30, 2014, 90 U.S. Government and agency securities and municipal obligations have unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 4.47% from the Company's amortized cost basis. These unrealized losses are principally due to changes in interest rates and credit spreads. In analyzing an issuer's financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred and industry analysts' reports. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

At June 30, 2014, 21 mortgage backed and CMO securities have unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 2.20% from the Company’s cost basis. We believe these unrealized losses are principally due to the credit market’s concerns regarding the stability of the mortgage market, changes in interest rates and credit spreads and uncertainty of future prepayment speeds. Management considers available evidence to assess whether it is more likely-than-not that all amounts due would not be collected. In such assessment, management considers the severity and duration of the impairment, the credit ratings of the security, the overall deal and payment structure, including the Company's position within the structure, underlying obligor, financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, delinquencies, defaults, loss severities, recoveries, prepayments, cumulative loss projections, discounted cash flows and fair value estimates. There has been no disruption of the scheduled cash flows on any of the securities. Management’s analysis as of June 30, 2014 revealed no expected credit losses on the securities and therefore, declines are not deemed to be other than temporary.

At June 30, 2014, 3 corporate obligations had an unrealized loss with aggregate depreciation of approximately 1.40% from the Company's cost basis. This unrealized loss is principally due to changes in interest rates. No credit issues have been identified that cause management to believe the declines in market value are other than temporary. In analyzing the issuer's financial condition, management considers industry analysts' reports, financial performance and projected target prices of investment analysts within a one-year time frame. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

At June 30, 2013, 98 U.S. Government and agency securities and municipal obligations had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 6.96% from the Company's amortized cost basis. These unrealized losses were principally due to changes in interest rates and credit spreads. In analyzing an issuer's financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts' reports. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future, no declines were deemed to be other than temporary.

At June 30, 2013, 23 mortgage backed and CMO securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 3.79% from the Company’s cost basis. We believed these unrealized losses were principally due to the credit market’s concerns regarding the stability of the mortgage market.

The Company utilizes a 5 point internal loan rating system, largely based on regulatory classifications, for 1-4 family real estate, commercial real estate, construction, home equity, consumer, and commercial loans as follows:

Loans rated Pass: these are loans that are considered to be protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor, or by the value of the asset or the underlying collateral.

Loans rated Special Mention: these loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset at some future date.

Loans rated Substandard: these loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Loans rated Doubtful: these loans 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, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans rated Loss: these loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without establishment of a specific reserve is not warranted. This classification does not mean that an asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but, rather, that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off a basically worthless asset even though practical recovery may be effected in the future.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings of all commercial real estate, construction, and commercial business loans that have a principal balance of $500,000 or more. Quarterly, the Company reviews the rating of any consumer loan, broadly defined, that is delinquent 90 days or more. Likewise, quarterly, the Company reviews the rating of any commercial loan, broadly defined, that is delinquent 60 days or more. Annually, the Company engages an independent third-party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process.

NOTE 5: Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company adopted the amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02 during the quarter ended September 30, 2011. As required, the Company reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after the beginning of the previous fiscal year (July 1, 2011) for identification as troubled debt restructurings. The Company identified as troubled debt restructurings certain receivables for which the allowance for credit losses had previously been measured under a general allowance for credit losses methodology (ASC 450-20). Upon identifying the reassessed receivables as troubled debt restructurings, the Company also identified them as impaired under the guidance in ASC 310-10-35. The amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02 require prospective application of the impairment measurement guidance in Section 310-10-35 for those receivables newly identified as impaired. As of June 30, 2014, the recorded investment in receivables for which the allowance for credit losses was previously measured under a general allowance for credit losses methodology and are now impaired under Section 310-10-35 was $180,000 (310-40-65-1(b)), and the allowance for credit losses associated with those receivables, on the basis of a current evaluation of loss, was $113,000 (310-40-65-1(b)).

Modification Categories

The Company offers a variety of modifications to borrowers. The modification categories offered can generally be described in the following categories:

Rate Modification – A modification in which the interest rate is changed.

Term Modification – A modification in which the maturity date, timing of payments, or frequency of payments is changed.

Interest Only Modification – A modification in which the loan is converted to interest only payments for a period of time.

Payment Modification – A modification in which the dollar amount of the payment is changed, other than an interest only modification described above.

Combination Modification – Any other type of modification, including the use of multiple categories above.

Using interest payments made by the Company on the debentures, the Trust began paying quarterly dividends to preferred security holders on December 15, 2005. The annual percentage rate of the interest payable on the subordinated debentures and distributions payable on the preferred securities was fixed at 6.02% until December 15, 2010 then became variable at 3-Month LIBOR plus 1.42%, making the rate 1.651% and 1.693% as of June 30, 2014, and 2013, respectively. Dividends on the preferred securities are cumulative and the Trust may defer the payments for up to five years.

Prior to January 1, 1987, the Company was allowed a special bad debt deduction limited generally in the current year to 32% (net of preference tax) of otherwise taxable income and subject to certain limitations based on aggregate loans and savings account balances at the end of the year. If the amounts that qualified as deductions for federal income tax purposes are later used for purposes other than for bad debt losses, they will be subject to federal income tax at the then current corporate rate. Retained earnings includes approximately $852,000 at both June 30, 2014 and 2013, for which federal income tax has not been provided.

The Company has equity investments in Certified Development Entities which have received allocations of New Markets Tax Credits (“NMTC”). Administered by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the NMTC program is aimed at stimulating economic and community development and job creation in low-income communities. The federal income tax credits received are claimed over a seven-year credit allowance period. The federal tax credit benefits were $380,000 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The balance of these credits was $2,204,000 and $2,584,000 as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

NOTE 17: Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory – and possibly additional discretionary – actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. 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 classifications 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 tangible and core capital (as defined in the regulations) to total adjusted assets (as defined), and of risk-based capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined). Management believes, as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum tangible, core, and risk-based ratios as set forth in the table below. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the table below:

Dividend Limitations

Under OCC regulations that became effective April 1, 1999, savings associations such as the Bank generally may declare annual cash dividends up to an amount equal to net income for the current year plus net income retained for the two preceding years. Dividends in excess of such amount require OCC approval. The Bank has paid dividends totaling $1,030,000 and $476,000 to the Company during the years ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, respectively. The Company had paid quarterly dividends of $0.0725 per share to its shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2014. The Company had paid quarterly dividends of $0.07125 per share in the first three quarters and paid $0.0725 per share in the fourth quarter for the year ended June 30, 2013.

Liquidation Rights

Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. holds a liquidation account for the benefit of certain depositors of American Federal Savings Bank who remain depositors of the Bank at the time of liquidation. The liquidation account is designed to provide payments to these depositors of their liquidation interests in the event of a liquidation of Eagle and the Bank, or the Bank alone. In the unlikely event that Eagle and the Bank were to liquidate in the future, all claims of creditors, including those of depositors, would be paid first, followed by distribution to depositors as of November 30, 2008 (who continue to be the Bank’s depositors) of the liquidation account maintained by Eagle. Also, in a complete liquidation of both entities, or of just the Bank, when Eagle has insufficient assets to fund the liquidation account distribution due to depositors and the Bank has positive net worth, the Bank would immediately pay amounts necessary to fund Eagle’s remaining obligations under the liquidation account. If Eagle is completely liquidated or sold apart from a sale or liquidation of the Bank, then the rights of such depositors in the liquidation account maintained by Eagle would be surrendered and treated as a liquidation account in the Bank, the “bank liquidation account” and these depositors shall have an equivalent interest in the bank liquidation account and the same rights and terms as the liquidation account.

Liquidation Rights – continued

After two years from the date of conversion and upon the written request of the OTS, Eagle will eliminate or transfer the liquidation account and the interests in such account to the Bank and the liquidation account would become the liquidation account of the Bank and not subject in any manner or amount to Eagle’s creditors. Also, under the rules and regulations of the OTS, no post-conversion merger, consolidation, or similar combination or transaction with another depository institution in which Eagle or the Bank is not the surviving institution would be considered a liquidation and, in such a transaction, the liquidation account would be assumed by the surviving institution.

NOTE 18: Related Party Transactions

The Bank has contracted with a subsidiary of a company which is partially owned by one of the Company’s directors. The Bank paid $3,000 during the year ended June 30, 2014 for support services, and an additional $33,000 for computer hardware and software used by the Bank for its computer network. For the year ended June 30, 2013, expenditures were $68,000 for support services and $318,000 for computer hardware and software.

In 2007, the Bank also made a construction loan, in the normal course of lending, to this same affiliated entity for the construction of an office building. In fiscal 2008 the construction was completed and the loan was refinanced into $7,500,000 permanent financing. On July 9, 2008, 80.0%, or $6,000,000 was sold to the Montana Board of Investments. As of June 30, 2014 this loan’s principal balance was $6,017,000 ($1,203,000 net of participation sold). The Bank maintains the servicing for this loan and the loan is current.

NOTE 19: Business Combination

On June 29, 2012, the Company and Sterling Savings Bank, a Washington state-chartered bank (“Sterling”) entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Eagle agreed to purchase Sterling’s banking operations in the state of Montana, including seven branch locations, certain deposit liabilities, loans and other assets and liabilities associated with such branch locations. The actual amount of deposits, loans and value of other assets and liabilities transferred to Eagle and the actual price paid was determined at the time of the closing of the transaction, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement. The closing of the transaction was subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. The transaction was completed on November 30, 2012. The final purchase price was $8.07 million and exceeded the estimated fair value of tangible net assets acquired by approximately $8.07 million, which was recorded as goodwill and intangible assets.

Cash flow information relative to the asset purchase agreement was as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 19: Business Combination – continued

The primary purpose of the acquisition was to expand the Company’s market share in southern Montana, provide existing customers with added convenience and service and to provide our new customers with the opportunity to enjoy the outstanding personalized service and commitment of a Montana-based community bank. Factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in goodwill include the strategically important locations of Sterling’s branches, a historical record of earnings, capable employees and the Company’s ability to expand in the southern Montana market, which will complement with the Company’s existing growth strategy. Fair value adjustments and related goodwill are recorded in the statement of financial condition of the Company. Final valuation adjustments of $144,000 were recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 and impacted goodwill.

The following is a condensed balance sheet disclosing the estimated fair value amounts of the acquired branches of Sterling assigned to the major consolidated asset and liability captions at the acquisition date (dollars in thousands):

ASSETS

Cash and cash equivalents	$	129,950
Loans receivable		41,323
Premises and equipment		2,980

Total assets	$	182,463

LIABILITIES AND EQUITY

Deposits and accrued interest	$	182,463
Equity		-

Total liabilities and equity	$	182,463

We estimated the fair value for most loans to be acquired from Sterling by utilizing a methodology wherein loans with comparable characteristics were aggregated by type of collateral, remaining maturity, and repricing terms. Cash flows for each pool were determined by estimating future credit losses and the rate of prepayments. Projected monthly cash flows were then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted market rate for similar loans. To estimate the fair value of the remaining loans, we analyzed the value of the underlying collateral of the loans, assuming the fair values of the loans were derived from the eventual sale of the collateral. The value of the collateral was based on recently completed appraisals adjusted to the valuation date based on recognized industry indices. We discounted those values using market derived rates of return, with consideration given to the period of time and costs associated with the foreclosure and disposition of the collateral. There was no carryover of Sterling’s allowance for loan losses associated with the loans we acquired as the loans were initially recorded at fair value.

Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (nonaccretable discount)		(769	)

Expected cash flows at acquisition		40,454
Interest component of expected cash flows (accretable discount)		869

Fair value of acquired loans	$	41,323

The core deposit intangible asset that was recognized as part of the business combination was $1.0 million and will be amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately ten years utilizing an accelerated method. The goodwill, which will not be amortized for financial statement purposes, will be deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of savings and transaction deposit accounts acquired from Sterling was assumed to approximate the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. Certificates of deposit were valued by comparing the contractual cost of the portfolio to an identical portfolio bearing current market rates. The projected cash flows from maturing certificates were calculated based on contractual rates. The fair value of the certificates of deposit was calculated by discounting their contractual cash flows at a market rate for a certificate of deposit with a corresponding maturity.

Direct costs related to the Sterling acquisition were expensed as incurred in the year ended June 30, 2013. These acquisition and integration expenses included salaries and benefits, technology and communications, occupancy and equipment, professional services and other noninterest expenses. No acquisition costs were incurred for the year ended June 30, 2014. $1.92 million of acquisition costs were incurred and expensed during the year ended June 30, 2013.

Operations of the branches acquired have been included in the consolidated financial statements since December 1, 2012. The Company does not consider these branches a separate reporting unit and does not track the amount of revenues and net income attributable to these branches since the acquisition. As such, it is impracticable to determine such amounts for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014.

The following table presents unaudited pro forma results of operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 as if the acquisition of the Sterling branches had occurred on July 1, 2011 (in thousands). This pro forma information gives effect to certain adjustments, including purchase accounting fair value adjustments and amortization of the core deposit intangible asset. The pro forma information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have occurred had the Company purchased and assumed the assets and liabilities of the Sterling branches at July 1, 2011. Cost savings are also not reflected in the unaudited pro forma amounts for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

NOTE 20: Employee Benefits

Profit Sharing Plan

The Company provides a noncontributory profit sharing plan for eligible employees who have completed one year of service. The amount of the Company’s annual contribution, limited to a maximum of 15% of qualified employees’ salaries, is determined by the Board of Directors (the “Board”). Profit sharing expense was $379,000 and $295,000 for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company’s profit sharing plan includes a 401(k) feature. At the discretion of the Board, the Company may match up to 50% of participants’ contributions up to a maximum of 4% of participants’ salaries. For the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s match totaled $148,000 and $96,000, respectively.

Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company has entered into deferred compensation contracts with current key employees. The contracts provide fixed benefits payable in equal annual installments upon retirement. The Company purchased life insurance contracts that may be used to fund the payments. The charge to expense is based on the present value computations of anticipated liabilities. For the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the total expense was $131,000 and $212,000, respectively. The Company has recorded a liability for the deferred compensation plan of $1,186,000 and $1,162,000 at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which is included in the balance of accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Company has established an ESOP for eligible employees who meet certain age and service requirements. At inception, in April 2000, the ESOP borrowed $368,000 from Eagle Bancorp and used the funds to purchase 46,006 shares of common stock, at $8 per share, in the initial offering. This borrowing was fully paid on December 31, 2009. Again, in conjunction with the subsequent offering in April 2010, the ESOP borrowed $1,971,420 from Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. and used the funds to purchase 197,142 shares of common stock, at $10 per share. The Bank makes periodic contributions to the ESOP sufficient to satisfy the debt service requirements of the loan that has a twelve-year term and bears interest at 8%. The ESOP uses these contributions, and any dividends received by the ESOP on unallocated shares, to make principal and interest payments on the loan.

Shares purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense account by the plan trustee until allocated to participant accounts. Shares released from the suspense account are allocated to participants on the basis of their relative compensation in the year of allocation. Participants become vested in the allocated shares over a period not to exceed seven years. Any forfeited shares are allocated to other participants in the same proportion as contributions.

NOTE 20: Employee Benefits – continued

Total ESOP expenses of $142,000 and $131,000 were recognized in fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. 16,616 shares were released and allocated to participants during the year ended June 30, 2014. The cost of the 122,368 ESOP shares ($1,224,000 at June 30, 2014) that have not yet been allocated or committed to be released to participants is deducted from shareholders’ equity. The fair value of these shares was approximately $1,285,000 at that date.

Stock Incentive Plan

The Company adopted the Stock Incentive Plan (“the Plan”) on November 1, 2011. The Plan provides for different types of awards including stock options, restricted stock and performance shares. Under the Plan, 98,571 shares of restricted stock were granted to directors and certain officers during fiscal 2012. Shares of restricted stock vest in equal installments over five years beginning one year from the grant date. There were 8,674 shares of restricted stock granted under the Plan during fiscal 2014 and no shares of restricted stock granted under the Plan during fiscal 2013. There were 6,505 shares of restricted stock forfeited under the Plan during fiscal 2014 and 8,674 shares of restricted stock forfeited under the Plan during fiscal 2013. The Company expects the total expense over the vesting periods to be approximately $928,000. $193,000 and $206,000 was recognized as an expense during fiscal year 2014 and 2013, respectively, and is included in salaries and employee benefits in the consolidated statements of income. The remaining expense of approximately $399,000 is expected to be fully recognized by November 2017.

NOTE 21: Financial Instruments and Off-Balance-Sheet Activities

All financial instruments held or issued by the Company are held or issued for purposes other than trading. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and forward delivery commitments for the sale of whole loans to the secondary market.

Commitments to extend credit – In response to marketplace demands, the Company routinely makes commitments to extend credit for fixed rate and variable rate loans with or without rate lock guarantees. When rate lock guarantees are made to customers, the Company becomes subject to market risk for changes in interest rates that occur between the rate lock date and the date that a firm commitment to purchase the loan is made by a secondary market investor.

Generally, as interest rates increase, the market value of the loan commitment goes down. The opposite effect takes place when interest rates decline.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as the borrower satisfies the Company’s underwriting standards and related provisions of the borrowing agreements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Collateral is required for substantially all loans, and normally consists of real property. The Company’s experience has been that substantially all loan commitments are completed or terminated by the borrower within 3 to 12 months.

NOTE 21: Financial Instruments and Off-Balance-Sheet Activities – continued

The notional amounts of the Company’s commitments to extend credit at fixed and variable interest rates were approximately $5,421,000 and $7,076,000 at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Fixed rate commitments are extended at rates ranging from 2.79% to 5.13% and 2.13% to 5.00% at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company has lines of credit representing credit risk of approximately $88,603,000 and $79,850,000 at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of which approximately $41,239,000 and $36,434,000 had been drawn at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company has credit cards issued representing credit risk of approximately $1,091,000 and $965,000 at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of which approximately $71,000 and $79,000 had been drawn at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company has letters of credits issued representing credit risk of approximately $4,058,000 and $2,882,000 at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Derivative loan commitments – Mortgage loan commitments are referred to as derivative loan commitments if the loan that will result from exercise of the commitment will be held-for-sale upon funding. The Company enters into commitments to fund residential mortgage loans at specified times in the future, with the intention that these loans will subsequently be sold in the secondary market. A mortgage loan commitment binds the Company to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specified interest rate and within a specified period of time, generally up to 60 days after inception of the rate lock.

Outstanding derivative loan commitments expose the Company to the risk that the price of the loans arising from exercise of the loan commitment might decline from inception of the rate lock to funding of the loan due to increases in mortgage interest rates. If interest rates increase, the value of these loan commitments decreases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the value of these loan commitments increases. The notional amount of interest rate lock commitments was $5,241,000 and $7,076,000 at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fair value of such commitments was insignificant.

The Company has no other off-balance-sheet arrangements or transactions with unconsolidated, special purpose entities that would expose the Company to liability that is not reflected on the face of the financial statements.

NOTE 22: Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Interest rate contracts

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is interest rate risk. The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on August 27, 2010 with a third party to manage interest rate risk associated with a fixed-rate loan. The interest rate swap agreement effectively converted the loan’s fixed rate into a variable rate. The derivatives and hedging accounting guidance (FASB ASC 815-10) requires that the Company recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position. In accordance with this guidance, the Company designates the interest rate swap on this fixed-rate loan as a fair value hedge.

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to this agreement. The Company controls the credit risk of its financial contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures, and does not expect any counterparties to fail their obligations. The Company deals only with primary dealers.

If certain hedging criteria specified in derivatives and hedging accounting guidance are met, including testing for hedge effectiveness, hedge accounting may be applied. The hedge effectiveness assessment methodologies for similar hedges are performed in a similar manner and are used consistently throughout the hedging relationships.

The hedge documentation specifies the terms of the hedged item and the interest rate swap. The documentation also indicates that the derivative is hedging a fixed-rate item, that the hedge exposure is to the changes in the fair value of the hedged item, and that the strategy is to eliminate fair value variability by converting fixed-rate interest payments to variable-rate interest payments.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. The Company includes the gain or loss on the hedged items in the same line item—noninterest income—as the offsetting loss or gain on the related interest rate swap.

The fixed rate loan hedged has an original maturity of 20 years and is not callable. This loan is hedged with a “pay fixed rate, receive variable rate” swap with a similar notional amount, maturity, and fixed rate coupons. The swap is not callable. The loan had an outstanding principal balance of $10,830,000 and $11,191,000, and the interest rate swap had a notional value of $10,830,000 and $11,191,000, at June 30, 3014, and 2013, respectively.

Forward delivery commitments

The Company uses mandatory sell forward delivery commitments to sell whole loans. These commitments are also used as a hedge against exposure to interest-rate risks resulting from rate locked loan origination commitments on certain mortgage loans held-for-sale. Gains and losses in the items hedged are deferred and recognized in other comprehensive income until the commitments are completed. At the completion of the commitments the gains and losses are recognized in the Company’s income statement.

As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had entered into commitments to deliver approximately $16,839,000 and $20,314,000 respectively, in loans to various investors, all at fixed interest rates ranging from 2.75% to 4.88% and 2.17% to 6.00% at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company had approximately $461,000 and $582,000 of gains deferred as a result of the forward delivery commitments entered into as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fair value of such commitments is insignificant.

The Company did not have any gains or losses reclassified into earnings as a result of the ineffectiveness of its hedging activities. The Company considers its hedging activities to be highly effective.

The Company did not have any gains or losses reclassified into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges because it was probable that the original forecasted transaction would not occur by the end of the originally specified time frame as of June 30, 2014.

NOTE 23: Fair Value Disclosures

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement costs). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, the Company establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

■	Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

■

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

■	Level 3 Inputs - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 23: Fair Value Disclosures – continued

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Available-for-Sale Securities – Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U. S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Impaired Loans – Impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on internally customized discounting criteria.

Loans Held-for-Sale – These loans are reported at fair value. Fair value is determined based on expected proceeds based on sales contracts and commitments and are considered Level 2 inputs.

Repossessed Assets – Fair values are valued at the time the loan is foreclosed upon and the asset is transferred from loans. The value is based upon primary third party appraisals, less costs to sell. The appraisals are generally discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business. Such discounts are typically significant and result in Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Repossessed assets are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on same or similar factors above.

Loan Subject to Fair Value Hedge – The Company has one loan that is carried at fair value subject to a fair value hedge. Fair value is determined utilizing valuation models that consider the scheduled cash flows through anticipated maturity and is considered a Level 2 input.

Derivative financial instruments – Fair values for interest rate swap agreements are based upon the amounts required to settle the contracts. These instruments are valued using Level 2 inputs utilizing valuation models that consider: (a) time value, (b) volatility factors and (c) current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures.

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

Cash, interest-bearing accounts, accrued interest and dividend receivable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities – The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.

Securities held-to-maturity – Securities classified as held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U. S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Stock in the FHLB – The fair value of stock in the FHLB approximates redemption value.

NOTE 23: Fair Value Disclosures – continued

Loans receivable – Fair values are estimated by stratifying the loan portfolio into groups of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as real estate, commercial, and consumer, with each category further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms. For mortgage loans, the Company uses the secondary market rates in effect for loans that have similar characteristics. The fair value of other fixed rate loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the anticipated maturities adjusted for prepayment estimates. Adjustable interest rate loans are assumed to approximate fair value because they generally reprice within the short term.

Fair values are adjusted for credit risk based on assessment of risk identified with specific loans, and risk adjustments on the remaining portfolio based on credit loss experience.

Assumptions regarding credit risk are judgmentally determined using specific borrower information, internal credit quality analysis, and historical information on segmented loan categories for non-specific borrowers.

Cash surrender value of life insurance – The carrying amount for cash surrender value of life insurance approximates fair value as policies are recorded at redemption value.

Mortgage servicing rights – The fair value of servicing rights was determined using discount rates ranging from 10.00% to 12.00%, prepayment speeds ranging from 100.00% to 385.00% PSA, depending on stratification of the specific right. The fair value was also adjusted for the effect of potential past dues and foreclosures.

Deposits and time certificates of deposit – The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as checking, passbook, and money market, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar maturities.

Advances from the FHLB & Subordinated Debentures – The fair value of the Company’s advances and debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the interest rate that would be effective June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively if the borrowings repriced according to their stated terms.

Off-balance-sheet instruments - Fair values for off-balance-sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair values of these financial instruments are considered insignificant. Additionally, those financial instruments have no carrying value.
