Acquisitions

Fraternity Community Bancorp, Inc.

May 13, 2016,

Hamilton Bancorp acquired Fraternity Community Bancorp, Inc. (“Fraternity”), the parent company of Fraternity Federal Savings and Loan. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, shareholders of Fraternity received a cash payment equal to

nineteen

dollars and

twenty-five

cents (

$19.25

) for each share of Fraternity common stock.

The total merger consideration was

$25.7

million.

In connection with the acquisition, Fraternity Federal Savings and Loan was merged with and into Hamilton Bank, with Hamilton Bank as the surviving bank. The results of the Fraternity acquisition are included with Hamilton’s results as of and from

May 13, 2016.

As required by the acquisition method of accounting, we have adjusted the acquired assets and liabilities of Fraternity to their estimated fair value on the date of acquisition and added them to those of Hamilton Bancorp. Based on management’s preliminary valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which we have based on level

valuation estimates and assumptions that are subject to change, we have allocated the purchase price for Fraternity as follows:

Total cash consideration	$	24,326,800		$	1,378,071			$	25,704,871

Explanation of fair value adjustments:

A	-	Adjustment reflects the fair value adjustments based on Hamilton Bancorp’s evaluation of the acquired loan portfolio and excludes the allowance for losses recorded by Fraternity Community Bancorp, Inc.
B	-	Adjustment reflects the fair value adjustments based on Hamilton Bancorp’s evaluation of the acquired premises and equipment.
C	-	Adjustment to record deferred tax asset related to fair value adjustments at 39.45% income tax rate.
D	-	Adjustment arises since the rates on interest-bearing deposits are higher than rates available on similar deposits as of the acquisition date.
E	-	Adjustment reflects the fair value of Fraternity’s borrowings acquired on acquisition date.

Prior to the end of the measurement period, if information becomes available which indicates the purchase price allocations require adjustments, we will include such adjustments in the purchase price allocation retrospectively.

Of the total estimated purchase price, we have allocated

$23.6

million to net tangible assets acquired and we have allocated

$242,020

to the core deposit intangible which is a definite lived intangible asset. We have allocated the remaining purchase price to goodwill, which is deductible for income tax purposes. We will amortize the core deposit intangible on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of

eight

years. We will evaluate goodwill annually for impairment.

The following schedule includes consolidated statements of operations data for the unaudited pro forma results for the periods ended

March 31, 2017

and

2016

as if the Fraternity acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented.

We have

not

included any provision for loan losses during the period for loans acquired from Fraternity. In accordance with accounting for business combinations, we included the credit losses evident in the loans in the determination of the fair value of loans at the date of acquisition and eliminated the allowance for loan losses maintained by Fraternity at acquisition date. Also excluded are an estimated

$3.0

million in merger related expenses associated with completing the actual acquisition. This expense includes expenses incurred by both the buyer and the seller. For the

twelve

months ending

March 31, 2016,

acquisition costs of

$510,000

associated with the acquisition of Fairmount are included in non-interest expense. For the

twelve

months ending

March 31, 2017

there were

acquisition costs attributable to Fairmount because that acquisition had been completed at that time. The acquisition expenses are non-deductible and the reasoning for income tax expense being higher for fiscal

2016

relative to pre-tax income.

The revenue and expenses had Fraternity continued to exist as its own company from the acquisition date through

March 31, 2017,

not

disclosed because we felt this was

not

practical to do. The estimates in determining these amounts would

not

be based upon strong, identifiable information and difficult to extrapolate, as such we have elected

not

to disclose this information.

We have presented the pro forma financial information for illustrative purposes only and it is

not

necessarily indicative of the financial results of the combined companies had we actually completed the acquisition at the beginning of the periods presented, nor does it indicate future results for any other interim or full year period. Pro forma basic and diluted earnings per common share were calculated using Hamilton Bancorp’s actual weighted average shares outstanding for the periods presented, assuming the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.

The following table outlines the contractually required payments receivable, cash flows we expect to receive, non-accretable credit adjustments and the accretable yield for all Fraternity loans as of the acquisition date.

	Contractually
	Required		Non-Accretable			Cash Flows					Carrying Value
	Payments		Credit			Expected To Be		Accretable FMV			of Loans
	Receivable		Adjustments			Collected		Adjustments			Receivable

Performing loans acquired	$	107,474,993	$	-		$	107,474,993	$	301,672		$	107,776,665

Impaired loans acquired		1,397,048		(314,484	)		1,082,564		(55,046	)		1,027,518

Total	$	108,872,041	$	(314,484	)	$	108,557,557	$	246,626		$	108,804,183

At our acquisition of Fraternity, we recorded all loans acquired at the estimated fair value on the purchase date with

carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. On the acquisition date, we segregated the loan portfolio into

two

loan pools, performing and nonperforming loans, to be retained in our portfolio.

We had an independent

third

party determine the fair value of cash flows on

$107,474,993

of performing loans. The valuation took into consideration the loans' underlying characteristics, including account types, remaining terms, annual interest rates, interest types, past delinquencies, timing of principal and interest payments, current market rates, loan to value ratios, loss exposures, and remaining balances. These performing loans were segregated into pools based on loan and payment type and in some cases, risk grade. The effect of this fair valuation process was a net accretable premium adjustment of

$301,672

at acquisition.

We also individually evaluated

impaired loans totaling

$1,397,048

to determine the fair value as of the

May 13, 2016

measurement date. In determining the fair value for each individually evaluated impaired loan, we considered a number of factors including the remaining life of the acquired loans, estimated prepayments, estimated loss ratios, estimated value of the underlying collateral and net present value of cash flows we expect to receive, among others.

We established a credit risk related non-accretable difference of

$314,484

relating to these acquired, credit impaired loans, reflected in the recorded net fair value. We further estimated the timing and amount of expected cash flows in excess of the estimated fair value and established an accretable discount adjustment of

$55,046

at acquisition relating to these impaired loans.

Fairmount Bancorp, Inc.

September 11, 2015,

Hamilton Bancorp acquired Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. (“Fairmount”), the parent company of Fairmount Bank. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, shareholders of Fairmount received a cash payment equal to

thirty

dollars (

$30.00

) for each share of Fairmount common stock. The total merger consideration was

$14.2

million.

In connection with the acquisition, Fairmount Bank was merged with and into Hamilton Bank, with Hamilton Bank as the surviving bank. The results of the Fairmount acquisition are included with Hamilton’s results as of and from

September 11, 2015.

As required by the acquisition method of accounting, we have adjusted the acquired assets and liabilities of Fairmount to their estimated fair value on the date of acquisition and added them to those of Hamilton Bancorp. Based on management’s preliminary valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which we have based on level

valuation estimates and assumptions that are subject to change, we have allocated the preliminary purchase price for Fairmount as follows:

F	-	Adjustment arises since the rates on interest-bearing deposits are higher than rates available on similar deposits as of the acquisition date.
G	-	Adjustment reflects the fair value of Fairmount’s borrowings acquired on acquisition date.

Prior to the end of the

September 11, 2016

measurement period, if information became available which indicated the purchase price allocations require adjustments, we included such adjustments in the purchase price allocation retrospectively. During this measurement period, we made a net adjustment of

$215,000

in the purchase price allocations. These adjustments included items relating to the valuation of loans, property and equipment, payables and deferred taxes.

Of the total estimated purchase price, we have allocated an estimate of

$9.6

million to net tangible assets acquired and we have allocated approximately

$543,000

eight

years. We will evaluate goodwill annually for impairment.
