Note 2. Business Combinations

On October 12, 2011, the Company completed an acquisition of Fullerton, a federally chartered mutual savings association with one office located at 7527 Belair Road in Baltimore, Maryland. Fullerton converted from the mutual to the stock form of organization and immediately issued all of its capital stock to the Company and merged with and into the Bank. In connection with the conversion merger, the Company issued and sold 56,276 shares of its common stock at a price of $14.10 per share, resulting in proceeds of approximately $452,000, net of offering expenses of approximately $341,000.

The Company recorded the following assets and liabilities as of October 12, 2011. These amounts represent the carrying value of Fullerton’s assets and liabilities adjusted to reflect the fair value at the date of the acquisition. The discounts and premiums resulting from the fair value adjustments will be accreted and amortized on a level yield basis over the anticipated lives of the underlying financial assets or liabilities. This amortization of premiums and discounts is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations on future periods.

	Assets Acquired
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	4,224,279
Securities available for sale		827,139
Loans receivable		2,414,712
Federal Home Loan Bank stock, at cost		15,300
Premises and equipment		887,503
Other assets		174,579
Total assets acquired	$	8,543,512
	Liabilities Assumed
Liabilities
Deposits	$	7,333,130
Other liabilities		77,427
Total liabilities assumed	$	7,410,557

The excess fair value of assets acquired over liabilities assumed, less transaction costs incurred, resulted in $1,022,074 in negative goodwill. This negative goodwill is reflected as an extraordinary item in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The primary purpose of the Fullerton acquisition was to expand the Bank’s deposit market share. The primary reasons for the stock offering by the Company were to:

• provide a larger capital cushion for asset growth, which will primarily be realized through existing operations;

• support growth and diversification of operations, products and services to transition us into a full-service community bank;

• improve the Company’s overall capital and competitive position;

• increase the Bank’s loans to one borrower limit to allow the Bank to make larger loans, including larger commercial real estate loans; and

• provide additional financial resources to pursue branch expansion and possible future acquisition opportunities.

Because the individual assets and liabilities of Fullerton have been absorbed into Fairmount operations, revenue and earnings of Fullerton since the acquisition date are not available and supplemental pro forma information is not able to be provided.
