Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2015

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed and consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Northeast Bancorp (“Northeast” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Northeast Bank (the “Bank”).

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 (“Fiscal 2014”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-01, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects (“ASU 2014-01”). The amendments in ASU 2014-01 provide guidance on accounting for investments by a reporting entity in flow-through limited liability entities that manage or invest in affordable housing projects that qualify for the low-income housing tax credit. The amendments permit reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received, and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 31, 2014 and should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2014-01 to have material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective January 1, 2017 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (“ASU 2014-11”). ASU 2014-11 requires that repurchase-to-maturity transactions be accounted for as secured borrowings consistent with the accounting for other repurchase agreements. In addition, ASU 2014-11 requires separate accounting for repurchase financings, which entails the transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty. ASU 2014-11 requires entities to disclose certain information about transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements. In addition, ASU 2014-11 requires disclosures related to collateral, remaining contractual tenor and of the potential risks associated with repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions and repurchase-to-maturity transactions. ASU 2014-11 is effective January 1, 2015 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-14, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (“ASU 2014-14”). ASU 2014-14 affects creditors that hold government-guaranteed mortgage loans, including those guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The update requires that, upon foreclosure, a guaranteed mortgage loan be derecognized and a separate other receivable be recognized when specific criteria are met. ASU 2014-14 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

There were no other-than-temporary impairment losses on securities during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014.

At March 31, 2015, the Company had twenty-two securities in a continuous loss position for greater than twelve months. At March 31, 2015, all of the Company’s available-for-sale securities were issued or guaranteed by either government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises. The decline in fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2015 is attributable to changes in interest rates.

Management of the Company, in addition to considering current trends and economic conditions that may affect the quality of individual securities within the Company’s investment portfolio, also considers the Company’s ability and intent to hold such securities to maturity or recovery of cost. At March 31, 2015, it is more likely than not that the Company will not sell or be required to sell the investment securities before recovery of its amortized cost. As such, management does not believe any of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2015.

4. Loans, Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit Quality

Loans are carried at the principal amounts outstanding, or amortized acquired fair value in the case of acquired loans, adjusted by partial charge-offs and net of deferred loan costs or fees. Loan fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and amortized into interest income over the expected term of the loan using the level-yield method. When a loan is paid off, the unamortized portion is recognized in interest income. Interest income is accrued based upon the daily principal amount outstanding except for loans on nonaccrual status.

Loans purchased by the Company are accounted for under ASC 310-30, Receivables — Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“ASC 310-30”). At acquisition, the effective interest rate is determined based on the discount rate that equates the present value of the Company’s estimate of cash flows with the purchase price of the loan. Prepayments are not assumed in determining a purchased loan’s effective interest rate and income accretion. The application of ASC 310-30 limits the yield that may be accreted on the purchased loan, or the “accretable yield,” to the excess of the Company’s estimate, at acquisition, of the expected undiscounted principal, interest, and other cash flows over the Company’s initial investment in the loan. The excess of contractually required payments receivable over the cash flows expected to be collected on the loan represents the purchased loan’s “nonaccretable difference.” Subsequent improvements in expected cash flows of loans with nonaccretable differences result in a prospective increase to the loan’s effective yield through a reclassification of some, or all, of the nonaccretable difference to accretable yield. The effect of subsequent credit-related declines in expected cash flows of purchased loans are recorded through a specific allocation in the allowance for loan losses.

Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when they are past due 90 days as to either principal or interest, or when in management’s judgment the collectability of interest or principal of the loan has been significantly impaired. Loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 are placed on nonaccrual when it is not possible to reach a reasonable expectation of the timing and amount of cash flows to be collected on the loan. When a loan has been placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against interest on loans. Interest on nonaccrual loans is accounted for on a cash-basis or using the cost-recovery method when collectability is doubtful. A loan is returned to accrual status when collectability of principal is reasonably assured and the loan has performed for a reasonable period of time.

In cases where a borrower experiences financial difficulties and the Company makes certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, the loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”), and therefore by definition is an impaired loan. Concessionary modifications may include adjustments to interest rates, extensions of maturity, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. For loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, the Company evaluates whether it has granted a concession by comparing the restructured debt terms to the expected cash flows at acquisition plus any additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after acquisition. As a result, if an ASC 310-30 loan is modified to be consistent with, or better than, the Company’s expectations at acquisition, the loan would not qualify as a TDR. Nonaccrual loans that are restructured generally remain on nonaccrual status for a minimum period of six months to demonstrate that the borrower can meet the restructured terms. If the restructured loan is on accrual status prior to being modified, it is reviewed to determine if the modified loan should remain on accrual status. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is not reasonably assured, the loan is classified as a nonaccrual loan. With limited exceptions, loans classified as TDRs remain classified as such until the loan is paid off.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Impaired Loans

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. For residential and consumer loans, a charge-off is recorded no later than the point at which a loan is 180 days past due if the loan balance exceeds the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell. For commercial loans, a charge-off is recorded on a case-by-case basis when all or a portion of the loan is deemed to be uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses consists of general, specific, and unallocated reserves and reflects management’s estimate of probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. Management uses a consistent and systematic process and methodology to evaluate the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The calculation of the allowance for loan losses is segregated by portfolio segments, which include: commercial real estate, commercial business, consumer, residential real estate, and purchased loans. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

Residential real estate: All loans in this segment are collateralized by residential real estate and repayment is primarily dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, particularly unemployment rates and housing prices, has a significant effect on the credit quality in this segment. For purposes of the Company’s allowance for loan loss calculation, home equity loans and lines of credit are included in residential real estate.

Commercial real estate: Loans in this segment are primarily income-producing properties. For owner-occupied properties, the cash flows are derived from an operating business, and the underlying cash flows may be adversely affected by deterioration in the financial condition of the operating business. The underlying cash flows generated by non-owner occupied properties may be adversely affected by increased vacancy rates. Management periodically obtains rent rolls, with which it monitors the cash flows

of these loans. Adverse developments in either of these areas will have an adverse effect on the credit quality of this segment. For purposes of the allowance for loan losses, this segment also includes construction loans.

Commercial business: Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by the assets of the business. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. Weakness in national or regional economic conditions, and a corresponding weakness in consumer or business spending, will have an adverse effect on the credit quality of this segment.

Consumer: Loans in this segment are generally secured, and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. Repayment of consumer loans is generally based on the earnings of individual borrowers, which may be adversely impacted by regional labor market conditions.

Purchased: Loans in this segment are typically secured by commercial real estate, multi-family residential real estate, or business assets and have been acquired by the Bank’s Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group (“LASG”). Loans acquired by the LASG are, with limited exceptions, performing loans at the date of purchase. Loans in this segment acquired with specific material credit deterioration since origination are identified as purchased credit-impaired. Repayment of loans in this segment is largely dependent on cash flow from the successful operation of the property, in the case of non-owner occupied property, or operating business, in the case of owner-occupied property. Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors affecting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market, such as geographic location or property type. Loans in this segment are evaluated for impairment under ASC 310-30. The Company reviews expected cash flows from purchased loans on a quarterly basis. The effect of a decline in expected cash flows subsequent to the acquisition of the loan is recognized through a specific allocation in the allowance for loan losses.

The general component of the allowance for loan losses is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors stratified by loan segment. The Company does not weight periods used in that analysis to determine the average loss rate in each portfolio segment. This historical loss factor is adjusted for the following qualitative factors:

· Levels and trends in delinquencies and nonperforming loans

· Trends in the volume and nature of loans

· Trends in credit terms and policies, including underwriting standards, procedures and practices, and the experience and ability of lending management and staff

· Trends in portfolio concentration

· National and local economic trends and conditions

· Effects of changes or trends in internal risk ratings

· Other effects resulting from trends in the valuation of underlying collateral

There were no significant changes in the Company’s policies or methodology pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014.

The allocated component of the allowance for loan losses relates to loans that are classified as impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial business and commercial real estate loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. An allowance is established when the discounted cash flows or collateral value of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. Large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the group’s historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for individual impairment and disclosure. However, all TDRs are individually reviewed for impairment.

For all portfolio segments, except loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, 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. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. For the purchased loan segment, a loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to realize cash flows as estimated at acquisition. For loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 for which cash flows can reasonably be estimated, loan impairment is measured based on the decrease in expected cash flows from those estimated at acquisition, excluding changes due to changes in interest rate indices and other non-credit related factors, discounted at the loan’s effective rate assumed at acquisition. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting the scheduled principal and interest payments when due.

Credit Quality

The Company utilizes a ten-point internal loan rating system for commercial real estate, construction, commercial business, and certain residential loans as follows:

Loans rated 1 — 6: Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans. Loans in categories 1-5 are considered to have low to average risk. Loans rated 6 are considered marginally acceptable business credits and have more than average risk.

Loans rated 7: Loans in this category are considered “special mention.” These loans show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

Loans rated 8: Loans in this category are considered “substandard.” Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of the debt.

Loans rated 9: Loans in this category are considered “doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in one graded 8 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 10: Loans in this category are considered “loss” and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings of all loans subject to risk ratings. Semi-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. Risk ratings on purchased loans, with and without evidence of credit deterioration at acquisition, are determined relative to the Company’s recorded investment in that loan, which may be significantly lower than the loan’s unpaid principal balance.

The following tables present the Company’s loans by risk rating.

5. Earnings Per Share (EPS)

EPS is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding (including participating securities). The Company’s only participating securities are unvested restricted stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. The following table shows the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the periods indicated. Shares issuable relative to stock options granted have been reflected as an increase in the shares outstanding used to calculate diluted EPS, after applying the treasury stock method. The number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS is presented as follows:

	Three months Ended March 31,				Nine months Ended March 31,

6. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified from one level to another. When market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same.

ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Valuations based on significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Valuation techniques - There have been no changes in the valuation techniques used during the current period.

Transfers- There were no transfers of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis during the current period.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

Available-for-sale securities - Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Examples of such instruments include publicly-traded common and preferred stocks. If quoted prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models ( i.e., matrix pricing) and market interest rates and credit assumptions or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Examples of such instruments include government agency and government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities, as well as certain preferred and trust preferred stocks. Level 3 securities are securities for which significant unobservable inputs are utilized.

Derivative financial instruments - The valuation of the Company’s interest rate swaps and caps are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analyses on the expected cash flows of derivatives. These analyses reflect the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and use observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. Unobservable inputs, such as credit valuation adjustments are insignificant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivative financial instruments. Accordingly, the Company has determined that its interest rate derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of derivative loan commitments and forward loan sale agreements are estimated using the anticipated market price based on pricing indications provided from syndicate banks. These commitments and agreements are categorized as Level 2. The fair value of such instruments was nominal at each date presented.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis:

Collateral Dependent Impaired Loans- Valuations of impaired loans measured at fair value are determined by a review of collateral values. Certain inputs used in appraisals are not always observable, and therefore impaired loans are generally categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents

Real Estate Owned and Other Repossessed collateral - The fair values of real estate owned and other repossessed collateral are estimated based upon appraised values less estimated costs to sell. Certain inputs used in appraisals are not always observable, and therefore may be categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. When inputs used in appraisals are primarily observable, they are classified as Level 2.

Fair Value of other Financial Instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents - The fair value of cash, due from banks, interest bearing deposits and FHLB overnight deposits approximates their relative book values, as these financial instruments have short maturities.

FHLB stock - The carrying value of FHLB stock approximates fair value based on redemption provisions of the FHLB.

Loans- Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. The estimates of maturity are based on the Company’s historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic conditions, lending conditions and the effects of estimated prepayments.

Loans held for sale - The fair value of loans held-for-sale is estimated based on bid quotations received from loan dealers.

Interest receivable - The fair value of this financial instrument approximates the book value as this financial instrument has a short maturity. It is the Company’s policy to stop accruing interest on loans past due by more than 90 days. Therefore, this financial instrument has been adjusted for estimated credit loss.

Deposits - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW accounts and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair values of time deposits are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value estimates do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market. If that value were considered, the fair value of the Company’s net assets could increase.

Borrowings - The fair value of the Company’s borrowings with the FHLB is estimated by discounting the cash flows through maturity or the next re-pricing date based on current rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar maturities. The fair value of the Company’s short-term borrowings, capital lease obligations, wholesale repurchase agreements and other borrowings is estimated by discounting the cash flows through maturity based on current rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar maturities.

Off-Balance Sheet Credit-Related 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 value of such instruments was nominal at each date presented.

7. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company has stand-alone derivative financial instruments in the form of interest rate caps that derive their value from a fee paid and are adjusted to fair value based on index and strike rate, and swap agreements that derive their value from the underlying interest rate. These transactions involve both credit and market risk. The notional amounts are amounts on which calculations, payments and the value of the derivative are based. Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures. Direct credit exposure arises in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to these agreements, and is limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any. Such differences, which represent the fair value of the derivative instruments, are reflected on the Company’s balance sheet as derivative assets and derivative liabilities. The Company seeks to manage the credit risk of its financial contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures, and does not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations.

The Company currently holds derivative instruments that contain credit-risk related features that are in a net liability position, which may require that collateral be assigned to dealer banks. At March 31, 2015, the Company had posted cash collateral totaling $3.3 million with dealer banks related to derivative instruments in a net liability position.

The Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments. The Company does not net the amount recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral against the obligation to return cash collateral arising from derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement.

Risk Management Policies — Derivative Instruments

The Company evaluates the effectiveness of entering into any derivative instrument agreement by measuring the cost of such an agreement in relation to the reduction in net income volatility within an assumed range of interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk Management — Cash Flow Hedging Instruments

The Company uses variable rate debt as a source of funds for use in the Company’s lending and investment activities and other general business purposes. These debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates.

Table of Contents

If interest rates increase, interest expense increases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest expense decreases. Management believes it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments and, therefore, generally hedges a portion of its variable-rate interest payments.

Information pertaining to outstanding interest rate caps and swap agreements used to hedge variable rate debt is as follows.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, no interest rate cap or swap agreements were terminated prior to maturity. Changes in the fair value of interest rate caps and swaps designated as hedging instruments of the variability of cash flows associated with variable rate debt are reported in other comprehensive income. These amounts subsequently are reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on the debt affects earnings. Risk management results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 related to the balance sheet hedging of variable rate debt indicates that the hedges were effective.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Financial instruments with contract amounts which represent credit risk are as follows:

	March 31, 2015		June 30, 2014
	(Dollars in thousands)
Commitments to originate loans	$	29,089	$	14,282
Unused lines of credit	29,839		34,657
Standby letters of credit	116		166

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counter party. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. The Company has recorded an allowance for possible losses on commitments and unfunded loans totaling $30 thousand recorded in other liabilities at both March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014.

Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiary are parties to litigation and claims arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from such litigation and claims will not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, notes and tables included in Northeast Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A Note about Forward Looking Statements

This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, such as statements relating to the Company’s financial condition, prospective results of operations, future performance or expectations, plans, objectives, prospects, loan loss allowance adequacy, simulation of changes in interest rates, capital spending and finance sources and revenue sources. These statements relate to expectations concerning matters that are not historical facts. Accordingly, statements that are based on management’s projections, estimates, assumptions, and judgments constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, which are based on various assumptions (some of which are beyond the Company’s control), may be identified by reference to a future period or periods, or by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “continue”, “plan”, “approximately”, “intend”, “objective”, “goal”, “project”, or other similar terms or variations on those terms, or the future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “may”, “should”, “could”, and “would”. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable estimates and assumptions, they are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies, and other factors. Accordingly, the Company cannot give you any assurance that its expectations will, in fact, occur or that its estimates or assumptions will be correct. The Company cautions you that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of, among other factors, changes in interest rates and real estate values; competitive pressures from other financial institutions; the effects of weakness in general economic conditions on a national basis or in the local markets in which the Company operates, including changes which adversely affect borrowers’ ability to service and repay the Company’s loans; changes in loan defaults and charge-off rates; changes in the value of securities and other assets, adequacy of loan loss reserves, or deposit levels necessitating increased borrowing to fund loans and investments; changes in government regulation; the risk that the Company may not be successful in the implementation of its business strategy; the risk of compromises or breaches to our security systems; the risk that intangibles recorded in the Company’s financial statements will become impaired; changes in assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements; and the other risks and uncertainties detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 as updated in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Description of Business and Strategy

Business Overview

Northeast Bancorp (“we,” “our,” “us,” “Northeast” or the “Company”), incorporated under Maine law in 1987, is a bank holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). As a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”), the Company is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve. The Company’s primary subsidiary and principal asset is its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Northeast Bank (the “Bank” or “Northeast Bank”), a Maine state-chartered bank originally organized in 1872. As a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured Maine-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the Maine Bureau of Financial Institutions (the “Bureau”) and the FDIC.

On December 29, 2010, the merger of the Company and FHB Formation LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FHB”), was consummated. As a result of the merger, the surviving company received a capital contribution of $16.2 million (in addition to the approximately $13.1 million in cash consideration paid to former shareholders), and the former members of FHB collectively acquired approximately 60% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company applied the acquisition method of accounting, as described in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) to the merger, which represents an acquisition by FHB of Northeast, with Northeast as the surviving company.

In connection with the transaction, as part of the regulatory approval process, the Company and the Bank made certain commitments to the Federal Reserve, the most significant of which are (i) to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 10%, (ii) to maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 15%, (iii) to limit purchased loans to 40% of total loans, (iv) to fund 100% of the Company’s loans with core deposits (defined as non-maturity deposits and non-brokered insured time deposits), and (v) to hold commercial real estate loans (including owner-occupied commercial real estate) to within 300% of total risk-based capital. On June 28, 2013, the Federal Reserve approved the amendment to exclude owner-occupied commercial real estate loans from the commitment to hold commercial real estate loans to within 300% of total risk-based capital. All other commitments made to the Federal Reserve in connection with the merger remain unchanged. The Company and the Bank are currently in compliance with all commitments to the Federal Reserve. The Company’s compliance ratios at March 31, 2015 follow:

Table of Contents

Condition	Ratios at March 31, 2015
(i) Tier 1 leverage capital ratio	14.96	%
(ii) Total capital ratio	21.21	%
(iii) Ratio of purchased loans to total loans, including loans held for sale	33.53	%
(iv) Ratio of loans to core deposits (1)	89.04	%
(v) Ratio of commercial real estate loans to total risk-based capital (2)	173.17	%

(1) Core deposits include all non-maturity deposits and maturity deposits less than $250 thousand

(2) For purposes of calculating this ratio, commercial real estate includes all non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans defined as such by regulatory guidance, including all land development and construction loans.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company, on a consolidated basis, had total assets of $832.9 million, total deposits of $655.2 million, and shareholders’ equity of $112.5 million. The Company gathers retail deposits through its banking offices in Maine and its online affinity deposit program, ableBanking; originates loans through the Bank’s Community Banking Division; and purchases and originates commercial loans through the Bank’s Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group (“LASG”). The Community Banking Division, with ten full-service branches and two loan production offices, operates from the Bank’s headquarters in Lewiston, Maine. The Company operates ableBanking and the LASG from its offices in Boston, Massachusetts.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to the Company include the Company and its subsidiary on a consolidated basis.

Strategy

The Company’s goal is to prudently grow its franchise, while maintaining sound operations and risk management, by implementing the following strategies:

Measured growth of our national commercial loan portfolio. The Company purchases performing commercial real estate loans, on a nationwide basis, typically at a discount from their outstanding principal balances, producing yields higher than those normally achieved on our originated loan portfolio. These loans are purchased from a variety of sources, including banks, insurance companies, investment funds and government agencies, either directly or indirectly through a loan sale advisor. We also originate commercial real estate and commercial business loans on a nationwide basis. National originations are an area of increasing focus for the Company, and in particular the origination of loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). As of March 31, 2015, the Company serviced SBA loans with an unpaid principal balance of $58.9 million, of which $42.4 million was held by third parties.

Focus on core deposits. The Company offers a full line of deposit products to customers in the Community Banking Division’s market area through its ten-branch network. In addition, we utilize our online deposit program, ableBanking, a division of Northeast Bank, to provide an additional channel through which to raise core deposits to fund the Company’s asset strategy.

Continuing our community banking tradition. The Community Banking Division retains a high degree of local autonomy and operational flexibility to better serve its customers. The Community Banking Division’s focus on sales and service allows us to attract and retain core deposits in support of balance sheet growth, and to continue to generate new commercial and residential mortgage loans.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assessments by management, and which could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The reader is encouraged to review each of the policies included in Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014 to gain a better understanding of how Northeast’s financial performance is measured and reported. There has been no material change in critical accounting policies during the nine months ended March 31, 2015.

Overview

Net income from continuing operations was $1.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to $437 thousand, or $0.04 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Net income from continuing operations was $5.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $2.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses increased by $2.0 million, or 28.2%, to $9.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014, due primarily to higher transactional interest income from purchased loan payoffs and the positive effect of balance sheet growth.

Noninterest income increased by $246 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014, principally due to the following:

· An increase of $192 thousand in gains recognized on Real Estate Owned/Other Assets Acquired (“REO/OAA”);

· An increase of $90 thousand in gains realized on sale of loans held for sale in the secondary market, due principally to an increase in purchase-related mortgage loan activity in the current period;

· An increase of $52 thousand in gains realized on sale of portfolio loans. The current quarter includes gains realized on sale of SBA loans of $425 thousand, compared to zero in the quarter ended March 31, 2014; and

· A decrease of $82 thousand in fees and other services to customers, primarily due to a decrease in servicing rights related to loans paid off or sold.

Noninterest expense increased by $369 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014, principally due to the following:

· An increase of $557 thousand in salaries and employee benefits, principally due to increased employee head count; and

· A decrease of $172 thousand in occupancy and equipment expense, the result of a reduction in software maintenance and depreciation expense following the conversion of the Bank’s core systems platform to an outsourced model in May 2014. The decrease in equipment expense was offset in part by higher data processing fees, which increased by $104 thousand.

Financial Condition

Overview

Total assets increased by $71.0 million, or 9.3%, to $832.9 million at March 31, 2015, compared to June 30, 2014. The principal components of the change in the balance sheet follow:

· The loan portfolio — excluding loans held for sale — grew by $62.8 million, or 12.2%, compared to June 30, 2014, the result of net growth of $67.1 million in commercial loans purchased or originated by the Bank’s Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group (“LASG”), offset by a $4.3 million decrease in the Bank’s Community Banking Division loan portfolio.

New loans generated by the LASG totaled $35.8 million and $156.1 million for the three and nine-month periods, respectively, ending March 31, 2015. The quarterly growth in LASG loans consisted of $5.1 million of purchased loans, at an average price of 92.3%, and $30.7 million of originated loans. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans originated during the quarter totaled $9.4 million, of which $3.1 million were sold in the secondary market. Residential and consumer loan production sold in the secondary market totaled $20.0 million for the quarter.

As noted above in the “Business Overview” the Company made certain commitments to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in connection with the merger of FHB Formation LLC with and into the Company in December 2010. The Company’s loan purchase and commercial real estate loan availability under these conditions follow.

Basis for Regulatory Condition	Condition	Availability at March 31, 2015
		(Dollars in millions)
Total Loans	Purchased loans may not exceed 40% of total loans	$	62.9

Assets

Cash, Short-term Investments and Securities

Cash and short-term investments were $105.1 million as of March 31, 2015, an increase of $22.8 million, or 27.7%, from $82.3 million at June 30, 2014. The increase is primarily due to the increase in deposits, specifically non-maturity accounts originated through the Bank’s ableBanking division, in order to fund future loan originations.

Available-for-sale securities, consisting of securities issued by government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises, totaled $105.5 million as of March 31, 2015 as compared to $113.9 million as of June 30, 2014, representing a decrease of $8.4 million or 7.4%. At March 31, 2015, securities with a fair value of $34.2 million were pledged for outstanding borrowings.

Classification of Assets

Loans are classified as non-performing when 90 days past due, unless a loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Loans less than 90 days past due, for which collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful, also may be designated as non-performing. In both situations, accrual of interest ceases. The Company typically maintains such loans as non-performing until the respective borrowers have demonstrated a sustained period of payment performance.

In cases where a borrower experiences financial difficulties and the Company makes certain concessionary modifications, the loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). Concessionary modifications may include adjustments to interest rates, extensions of maturity, or other actions intended to minimize economic loss and avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. Nonaccrual loans that are restructured generally remain on nonaccrual status for a minimum period of six months to demonstrate that the borrower can meet the restructured terms. If the restructured loan is on accrual status prior to being modified, it is reviewed to determine if the modified loan should remain on accrual status. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is not reasonably assured, the loan is classified as a nonaccrual loan. With limited exceptions, loans classified as TDRs remain classified as such until the loan is paid off.

Other nonperforming assets include other real estate owned (“OREO”) and other personal property securing loans repossessed by the Bank. The real estate and personal property collateral for commercial and consumer loans is written down to its estimated realizable value upon repossession. Revenues and expenses are recognized in the period when received or incurred on OREO and in substance foreclosures. Gains and losses on disposition are recognized in noninterest income.

Table of Contents

The following table details the Company’s nonperforming assets and other credit quality indicators as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014. Management believes that, based on their carrying amounts, nonperforming assets are well secured based on the estimated fair value of underlying collateral.

At March 31, 2015, nonperforming assets totaled $14.1 million, or 1.7% of total assets, as compared to $9.3 million, or 1.2% of total assets at June 30, 2014. The increase in nonperforming assets during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 was mainly due to the addition of one purchased loan relationship.

Allowance for Loan Losses

In connection with the application of the acquisition method of accounting for the merger on December 29, 2010, the allowance for loan losses was reduced to zero when the loan portfolio was marked to its then current fair value. Since that date, the Company has provided for an allowance for loan losses as new loans are originated or in the event that credit exposure in the pre-merger loan portfolio or other acquired loans exceeds the exposure estimated when initial fair values were determined.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses was $1.7 million as of March 31, 2015, which represents an increase of $374 thousand from $1.4 million as of June 30, 2014. The increase during the period was principally due to increases in reserves necessary for loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 and due to increased volume of newly originated loans.

The following table details ratios related to the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

	March 31, 2015		June 30, 2014		March 31, 2014
Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans	16.66	%	18.66	%	18.12	%
Allowance for loan losses to total loans	0.30	%	0.26	%	0.26	%
Last twelve months of net-charge offs to average loans	0.06	%	0.06	%	0.09	%

Table of Contents

While management believes that it uses the best information available to make its determinations with respect to the allowance, there can be no assurance that the Company will not have to increase its provision for loan losses in the future as a result of changing economic conditions, adverse markets for real estate or other factors.

Other Assets

The cash surrender value of the Company’s bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) assets increased $329 thousand, or 2.2% to $15.2 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $14.8 million at June 30, 2014. Increases in cash surrender value are recognized in other income and are not subject to income taxes. Borrowing on, or surrendering a policy, may subject the Company to income tax expense on the increase in cash surrender value. For these reasons, management considers BOLI an illiquid asset. BOLI represented 12.4% of the Company’s total risk-based capital at March 31, 2015.

Intangible assets totaled $2.3 million and $2.8 million at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. The $460 thousand decrease was the result of core deposit intangible asset amortization during the period.

Deposits, Borrowed Funds, Capital Resources and Liquidity

Deposits

The Company’s principal source of funding is its core deposit accounts. At March 31, 2015, non-maturity accounts, and certificates of deposit with balances less than $250 thousand represented 99.7% of total deposits.

Total deposits increased $80.8 million to $655.2 million as of March 31, 2015 from $574.3 million as of June 30, 2014. The increase, which funded growth in the Company’s loan portfolio, was centered mainly in money market accounts attracted through the Bank’s ableBanking division. The composition of total deposits at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014 follows.

	March 31, 2015				June 30, 2014

Borrowed Funds

Advances from the FHLB were $30.2 million and $42.8 million at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively; the decrease was due to $12.5 million of maturing advances during the period. At March 31, 2015, the Company had pledged investment securities with a fair value of $21.2 million, as well as certain residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans, and FHLB deposits free of liens or pledges to secure outstanding advances and available additional borrowing capacity.

Wholesale repurchase agreements were $10.1 million and $10.2 million at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. At March 31, 2015, the Company had pledged investment securities with a fair value of $13.0 million as collateral for outstanding wholesale repurchase agreements.

Short-term borrowings, consisting of sweep accounts and repurchase agreements, were $2.9 million and $3.0 million as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively.

Liquidity

The following table is a summary of unused borrowing capacity of the Company at March 31, 2015, in addition to traditional retail deposit products (dollars in thousands).

Brokered time deposits	$	207,641	Subject to policy limitation of 25% of total assets
Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston	81,411		Subject to eligible and qualified collateral
Federal Reserve Discount Window Borrower-in-Custody	1,405		Subject to the pledge of indirect auto loans
Total unused borrowing capacity	290,457
Unencumbered investment securities	71,912
Total sources of liquidity	$	362,369

Retail deposits and other core deposit sources including deposit listing services are used by the Company to manage its overall liquidity position. While the Company typically does not seek wholesale funding such as brokered deposits, the ability to raise them remains an important part of its liquidity contingency planning. While management closely monitors and forecasts the Company’s liquidity position, it is affected by asset growth, deposit withdrawals and other contractual obligations and commitments. The accuracy of management’s forecast assumptions may increase or decrease the Company’s overall available liquidity.

At March 31, 2015, the Company had $362.4 million of immediately accessible liquidity, defined as additional cash that could be raised within seven days through collateralized borrowings, brokered deposits or security sales. This position represented 43.5% of total assets. The Company also had $105.1 million of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2015.

Management believes that there are adequate funding sources to meet its liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. Primary funding sources are the repayment of principal and interest on loans, the renewal of time deposits, the potential for growth in the deposit base, and the credit availability from the FHLB. Management does not believe that the terms and conditions that will be present at the renewal of these funding sources will significantly impact the Company’s operations, due to its management of the maturities of its assets and liabilities.

Capital

The carrying amount and unpaid principal balance of junior subordinated debentures totaled $8.6 million and $16.5 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2015. This debt represents qualifying Tier 1 capital for the Company, up to a maximum of 25% of total Tier 1 capital. At March 31, 2015, the carrying amounts of the junior subordinated notes, net of the Company’s $496 thousand investment in the affiliated trusts, qualified as Tier 1 capital.

At March 31, 2015, shareholders’ equity was $112.5 million, an increase of $421 thousand, or 0.4% from June 30, 2014. Book value per outstanding common share was $11.46 at March 31, 2015 and $11.05 at June 30, 2014. Tier 1 capital to total average assets of the Company was 14.96% as of March 31, 2015 and 15.90% at June 30, 2014.

In addition to the risk-based capital requirements, the Federal Reserve requires top-rated bank holding companies to maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio of Tier 1 capital (defined by reference to the risk-based capital guidelines) to its average total consolidated assets of at least 3.0%. For most other bank holding companies (including the Company), the minimum leverage capital ratio was 4.0%. Bank holding companies with supervisory, financial, operational or managerial weaknesses, as well as bank holding companies that are anticipating or experiencing significant growth, were expected to maintain capital ratios well above the minimum levels.

Prior to the effectiveness of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the FDIC had adopted a statement of policy regarding the capital adequacy of state-chartered banks and promulgated regulations to implement the system of prompt corrective action established by Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Under FDIC regulations, a bank was considered “well capitalized” if it had: (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater; (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater; (iii) a leverage capital ratio of 5.0% or greater; and (iv) was not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.

In 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision released new capital requirements, known as Basel III, setting forth higher capital requirements, enhanced risk coverage, a global leverage ratio, provisions for counter-cyclical capital, and liquidity standards. In 2013, the Federal Reserve, along with the other federal banking agencies, issued final rules implementing the Basel III capital standards and establishing the minimum capital requirements for banks and bank holding companies required under the Dodd-Frank Act. These rules, which became effective for the Company on January 1, 2015, establish a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio requirement of 4.5%, a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio requirement of 6%, a minimum total capital requirement of 8.0% and a minimum leverage ratio requirement of 4%. Additionally, subject to a transition schedule, these rules require that an institution establish a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital in an amount above the minimum risk-based capital requirements for “adequately capitalized” institutions equal to 2.5% of total risk weighted assets, or face restrictions on the ability to pay dividends, pay discretionary bonuses, and to engage in share repurchases.

A bank holding company, such as the Company, is considered “well capitalized” if the bank holding company (i) has a total risk based capital ratio of at least 10%, (ii) has a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6%, and (iii) is not subject to any written agreement order, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. In addition, the FDIC has amended its prompt corrective action rules to reflect the revisions made by the new capital rules implementing Basel III. Under the FDIC’s revised rules, an FDIC supervised institution is considered “well capitalized” if it (i) has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater; (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater; (iii) a common Tier 1 equity ratio of at least 6.5% or greater, (iv) a leverage capital ratio of 5.0% or greater; and (iv) is not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive, or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.

The Company and Bank are considered “well capitalized” under all regulatory definitions.

Off-balance Sheet Financial Instruments

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

See Part I. Item I. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 9: Commitments and Contingencies” for further discussion.

Results of Operations

General

Net income increased by $1.3 million to $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to $437 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Net income increased by $2.8 million to $5.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $2.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. When compared to the prior year, increases in net income for both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 resulted principally from higher transactional interest income from purchased loan payoffs and the positive effect of balance sheet growth.

The following table details the “total return” on purchased loans, which includes transactional interest income of $2.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $2.0 million from the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Transactional interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was $7.5 million, an increase of $3.8 million from the nine months ended March 31, 2014 principally due to higher payoffs in the first three quarters of fiscal 2015.

Net Interest Income

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

Net interest and dividend income before provision for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $9.1 million and $7.1 million, respectively. The increase of $2.0 million was largely attributable to growth in the LASG loan portfolio, which earned a yield of 9.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 on an average outstanding balance of $337.6 million. The following table summarizes interest income and related yields recognized on the Company’s loans for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

In the quarter ended March 31, 2015, net interest income was negatively affected by a lower level of noncash accretion of fair value adjustments resulting from the 2010 merger than in the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The effect of such accretion will continue to diminish as financial instruments held at the merger mature or prepay. The following table summarizes the effects of such accretion.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

Net interest and dividend income before provision for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $28.0 million and $23.2 million, respectively. The increase of $4.8 million was largely attributable to growth in the LASG loan portfolio, which earned a yield of 10.1% for the nine ended March 31, 2015 on an average outstanding balance of $312.1 million. The following table summarizes interest income and related yields recognized on the Company’s loans for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

In the nine months ended March 31, 2015, net interest income was negatively affected by a lower level of noncash accretion of fair value adjustments resulting from the 2010 merger than in the nine months ended March 31, 2014. The effect of such accretion will continue to diminish as financial instruments held at the merger mature or prepay. The following table summarizes the effects of such accretion.

The Company’s interest rate spread and net interest margin increased by 45 basis points and 44 basis points, respectively, for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014. These increases were principally the result of the aforementioned increase in loan volume and average yield.

Provision for Loan Losses

Quarterly, the Company determines the amount of the allowance for loan losses that is appropriate to provide for losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolios, with the provision for loan losses determined by the net change in the allowance for loan losses. For loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality, a provision for loan a loss is recorded when estimates of future cash flows are lower than had been previously expected. See Part I. Item I. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 4: Loans, Allowance for Loan losses and Credit Quality” for further discussion.

The provision for loan losses for periods subsequent to the merger with FHB Formation LLC reflects the impact of adjusting loans to their then fair values, as well as the elimination of the allowance for loan losses in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. Subsequent to the merger, the provision for loan losses has been recorded based on estimates of inherent losses in newly originated loans and for incremental reserves required for pre-merger loans based on estimates of deteriorated credit quality post-merger.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $44 thousand and $180 thousand, respectively. The decrease in the Company’s loan loss provision resulted principally from favorable trends in collateral values in the impaired loan portfolio.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $477 thousand and $407 thousand, respectively. The increase is principally due to increases in reserves necessary for loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 and due to increased volume of newly originated loans.

Noninterest Income

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

Noninterest income increased by $246 thousand for the current quarter, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014, principally due to the following:

· An increase of $192 thousand in gains recognized on Real Estate Owned/Other Assets Acquired (“REO/OAA”);

· An increase of $52 thousand in gains realized on sale of portfolio loans. The recent quarter includes gains realized on sale of SBA loans of $425 thousand, compared to zero in the quarter ended March 31, 2014; and

· A decrease of $82 thousand in fees and other services to customers, primarily due to a decrease in servicing rights related to loans paid off or sold.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

Noninterest income increased by $646 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014, principally due to the following:

· An increase of $253 thousand in gains recognized on Real Estate Owned/Other Assets Acquired (“REO/OAA”);

· An increase of $239 thousand in gains realized on sale of loans held for sale in the secondary market, due principally to an increase in purchase-related mortgage loan activity in the current period; and

· An increase of $347 thousand in gains realized on sale of portfolio loans. The recent period includes gains realized on sale of SBA loans of $950 thousand, compared to zero in the period ended March 31, 2014.

Noninterest Expense

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

Noninterest expense increased by $369 thousand for the current quarter, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014, principally due to the following:

· An increase of $557 thousand in salaries and employee benefits, principally due to increased employee head count; and

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

Noninterest expense increased by $850 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014, principally due to the following:

· An increase of $962 thousand in salaries and employee benefits, principally due to increased employee head count, as well as higher employee benefits and stock-based compensation;

· A decrease of $413 thousand in occupancy and equipment expense, the result of a reduction in software maintenance and depreciation expense following the conversion of the Bank’s core systems platform to an outsourced model in May 2014. The decrease in equipment expense was offset in part by higher data processing fees, which increased by $259 thousand; and

· A $250 thousand insurance recovery that was recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 2013, with no similar recovery in the nine months ended March 31, 2015.

Income Taxes

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was 36.2%, compared to 39.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in the quarter was primarily due to fluctuations in projected pre-tax income and permanent book to tax differences for the prior fiscal year.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

The Company’s income tax expense was $2.8 million or an effective rate of 36.1%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to $1.1 million, or an effective rate of 34.1%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. The increased effective rate in nine months ended March 31, 2015 resulted principally from a change in estimated state tax apportionment.

Results of Operations — Discontinued Operations

The Company concluded all investment brokerage activities in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Accordingly, operations associated with these activities have been classified as discontinued operations.

The Company reported no net loss from discontinued operations in the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

The Company reported no discontinued operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, compared to a net loss from discontinued operations of $8 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 due to the discontinuance of brokerage activities in November 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding timely disclosure. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost/benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
