CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Citizens Community Federal N.A. (the "Bank"), and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Citizens Community Bancorp was a successor to Citizens Community Federal as a result of a regulatory restructuring into the mutual holding company form, which was effective on March 29, 2004. Originally, Citizens Community Federal was a credit union. In December 2001, Citizens Community Federal converted to a federal mutual savings bank. In 2004, Citizens Community Federal reorganized into the mutual holding company form of organization. In 2006, Citizens Community Bancorp completed its second-step mutual to stock conversion.

On April 16, 2014, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"), the primary federal regulator for

Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. and Citizens Community Federal, provided written notice to the Bank of the OCC's approval for the Bank to convert to a national banking association (a "National Bank") and operate under the title of Citizens Community Federal National Association ("Citizens Community Federal N.A."). The consummation of the conversion to a National Bank was effective as of May 31, 2014.

On April 18, 2014, Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. received written notice from the Federal Reserve Bank of

Minneapolis (the "FRB") notifying the Company of the FRB's approval of the Company becoming a bank holding company as

a result of the proposed conversion of the Bank from a federally-chartered savings bank to a National Bank, which approval

was also effective as of May 31, 2014.

The consolidated income of the Company is principally derived from the income of the Bank, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. The Bank originates residential, commercial, agricultural, consumer and commercial and industrial (C&I) loans and accepts deposits from customers, primarily in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. The Bank operates 20 full-service offices, eight stand-alone locations and 12 branches predominantly located inside Walmart Supercenters.

The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions and non-financial institutions providing financial products. Additionally, the Bank is subject to the regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergoes periodic examination by those regulatory agencies.

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, we evaluated the events and transactions that occurred through May 11, 2015, the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued. As of May 11, 2015, there were no subsequent events which required recognition or disclosure.

The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Unless otherwise stated, and except for shares and per share amounts, all amounts are in thousands.

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens Community Federal N.A. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates – Preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other items, fair value of financial instruments, the allowance for loan losses, valuation of acquired intangible assets, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets, deferred tax assets, uncertain income tax positions and contingencies. Management does not anticipate any material changes to estimates made herein in the near term. Factors that may cause sensitivity to the aforementioned estimates include but are not limited to external market factors such as market interest rates and unemployment rates, changes to operating policies and procedures, and changes in applicable banking regulations. Actual results may ultimately differ from estimates, although management does not generally believe such differences would materially affect the consolidated financial statements in any individual reporting period.

Investment Securities; Held to Maturity and Available for Sale – Management determines the appropriate classification of investment securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of the date of each statement of financial

8

position. Securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held to maturity securities are stated at amortized cost. Investment securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as available for sale. Available for sale securities are stated at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses deemed other than temporarily impaired due to non-credit issues being reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Unrealized losses deemed other-than-temporary due to credit issues are reported in the Company’s earnings in the period in which the losses arise. Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or accretion of purchase discount. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the estimated lives of the underlying securities.

In estimating other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI), management considers: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. The difference between the present values of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis is the credit loss. The credit loss is the portion of OTTI that is recognized in operations and is a reduction to the cost basis of the security. The portion of other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors is included in other comprehensive income (loss), net of the related tax effect.

Loans – Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, and net of deferred loan fees and costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the interest method without anticipating prepayments.

Interest income on commercial, mortgage and consumer loans is discontinued according to the following schedules:

•Commercial loans, including Agricultural and C&I loans, past due 90 days or more;

•Closed end consumer loans past due 120 days or more; and

•Real estate loans and open ended consumer loans past due 180 days or more.

Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not received for a loan placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost recovery method until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when payments are made that bring the loan account current with the contractual term of the loan and a 6 month payment history has been established. Interest on impaired loans considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) or substandard, less than 90 days delinquent, is recognized as income as it accrues based on the revised terms of the loan over an established period of continued payment. Substandard loans, as defined by the OCC, our primary banking regulator, are loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.

Real estate loans and open ended consumer loans are charged off to estimated net realizable value less estimated selling costs at the earlier of when (a) the loan is deemed by management to be uncollectible, or (b) the loan becomes past due 180 days or more. Closed end consumer loans are charged off to net realizable value at the earlier of when (a) the loan is deemed by management to be uncollectible, or (b) the loan becomes past due 120 days or more. Commercial loans, including Agricultural and C&I loans, are charged off to net realizable value at the earlier of when (a) the loan is deemed by management to be uncollectible, or (b) the loan becomes past due 90 days or more.

Allowance for Loan Losses – The allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is a valuation allowance for probable and inherent credit losses in our loan portfolio. Loan losses are charged against the ALL when management believes that the collectability of a loan balance is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ALL. Management estimates the required ALL balance taking into account the following factors: past loan loss experience; the nature, volume and composition of our loan portfolio; known and inherent risks in our loan portfolio; information about specific borrowers’ ability to repay; estimated collateral values; current economic conditions; and other relevant factors determined by management. The ALL consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for certain qualitative factors. The entire ALL balance is available for any loan that, in our management’s judgment, should be charged off.

A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impaired loans consist of all TDRs, as well as individual substandard loans not considered a TDR, when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. All TDRs are individually evaluated for impairment. See Note 3, “Loans, Allowance for Loan Losses and Impaired Loans” for more information on what we consider to be a TDR. If a TDR or substandard loan is deemed to be impaired, a specific ALL allocation is established so that the loan is reported, net, at either (a) the present value of estimated future cash flows using the

9

loan’s existing rate; or (b) at the fair value of any collateral, less estimated disposal costs, if repayment is expected solely from the underlying collateral of the loan. For TDRs less than 90+ days past due, and certain substandard loans that are less than 90+ days delinquent, the likelihood of the loan migrating to over 90 days past due is also taken into account when determining the specific ALL allocation for these particular loans. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as non-TDR commercial, consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.

Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets, net – Assets acquired through foreclosure or repossession are initially recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell, which establishes a new cost basis. If the fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure or repossession, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs incurred after acquisition are expensed and are included in non-interest expense, other on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this guidance, deferred taxes 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that will apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. See Note 6, "Income Taxes" for details on the Company’s income taxes.

The Company regularly reviews the carrying amount of its net deferred tax assets to determine if the establishment of a valuation allowance is necessary. If based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company’s net deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods, a deferred tax valuation allowance would be established. Consideration is given to various positive and negative factors that could affect the realization of the deferred tax assets. In evaluating this available evidence, management considers, among other things, historical performance, expectations of future earnings, the ability to carry back losses to recoup taxes previously paid, the length of statutory carryforward periods, any experience with utilization of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring, tax planning strategies and timing of reversals of temporary differences. Significant judgment is required in assessing future earnings trends and the timing of reversals of temporary differences. Accordingly, the Company’s evaluation is based on current tax laws as well as management’s expectations of future performance.

Earnings Per Share – Basic earnings per common share is net income or loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable during the period, consisting of stock options outstanding under the Company’s stock incentive plans that have an exercise price that is less than the Company's stock price on the reporting date.

Reclassifications – Certain items previously reported were reclassified for consistency with the current presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In August, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-14; "Receivables; Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure". ASU 2014-14 is intended to improve accounting and disclosure consistency related to how creditors classify government-guaranteed mortgage loans, including FHA or VA guaranteed loans, upon foreclosure. For public entities, ASU 2014-09 is effective on a prospective basis for the annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2014-14 to have no material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In May, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09; "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 is intended to clarify and simplify revenue recognition principles, develop a common revenue standard across industries and accounting frameworks, and improve the usefulness and consistency of revenue reporting. For public entities, ASU 2014-09 is effective on a retrospective basis for the annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have no material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In January, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04; "Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)". ASU 2014-04 is intended to improve consistency among reporting entities by clarifying when an in substance foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should derecognize a loan and recognize the corresponding real estate collateral as a separate asset. For public entities, ASU 2014-04 is effective for the annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company

NOTE 2 – FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The statement describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1- Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2- Significant other 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- Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input within the valuation hierarchy that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The fair value of securities available for sale is determined by obtaining market price quotes from independent third parties wherever such quotes are available (Level 1 inputs); or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). Where such quotes are not available, the Company utilizes independent third party valuation analysis to support the Company’s estimates and judgments in determining fair value (Level 3 inputs).

Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis

Level 3 assets measured on a recurring basis are certain investments for which little or no market activity exists or whose value of the underlying collateral is not market observable. Management’s valuation uses both observable as well as unobservable inputs to assist in the Level 3 valuation of mortgage backed securities held by the Bank, employing a methodology that considers future cash flows along with risk-adjusted returns. The inputs in this methodology are as follows: ability and intent to hold to maturity, mortgage underwriting rates, market prices/conditions, loan type, loan-to-value ratio, strength of borrower, loan age, delinquencies, prepayment/cash flows, liquidity, expected future cash flows, rating agency actions, and a discount rate, which is assumed to be approximately equal to the coupon rate for each security. As of March 31, 2015, the Company held no Level 3 securities measured on a recurring basis. The following tables present the financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014:

The fair value of TDRs was determined by obtaining independent third party appraisals and/or internally developed collateral valuations to support the Company’s estimates and judgments in determining the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting TDRs.

The fair value of foreclosed and repossessed assets was determined by obtaining market price valuations from independent third parties wherever such valuations were available. Where such valuations were not available, the Company utilized independent third party appraisals to support the Company’s estimates and judgments in determining fair value for such assets.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

ASC 825-10 and ASC 270-10, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value Financial Instruments, require disclosures about fair value financial instruments and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value. The estimated fair values of financial instruments not previously disclosed are determined as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents are considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Other Interest-Bearing Deposits

Fair value of interest bearing deposits is estimated based on their carrying amounts.

Non-marketable Equity Securities, at cost

Non-marketable equity securities are comprised of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock carried at cost, which are their redeemable fair values since the market for each category of this stock is restricted.

Loans Receivable, net

Fair value is estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as real estate, commercial and consumer. The fair value of loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity date using market discount rates reflecting the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. The estimate of maturity is based on the Bank’s repayment schedules for each loan classification.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable are considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Deposits

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as demand deposits, savings accounts, and money market accounts, is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed rate certificate accounts is calculated by using discounted cash flows applying interest rates currently being offered on similar certificates.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

The fair value of long-term borrowed funds is estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Bank’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowing arrangements. The carrying value of short-term borrowed funds approximates its fair value.

Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments

The fair value of off-balance sheet commitments would be estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the current interest rates, and the present creditworthiness of the customers. Since this amount is immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, no amount for fair value is presented.

NOTE 3 – LOANS, ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND IMPAIRED LOANS

The ALL represents management’s estimate of probable and inherent credit losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio. Estimating the amount of the ALL requires the exercise of significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of other qualitative factors such as current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change.

There are many factors affecting the ALL; some are quantitative, while others require qualitative judgment. The process for determining the ALL (which management believes adequately considers potential factors which result in probable credit losses), includes subjective elements and, therefore, may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional provision for loan losses could be required that could adversely affect the Company’s earnings or financial position in future periods. Allocations of the ALL may be made for specific loans but the entire ALL is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off or for which an actual loss is realized.

As an integral part of their examination process, various regulatory agencies also review the Bank’s ALL. Such agencies may require that changes in the ALL be recognized when such regulators’ credit evaluations differ from those of our management based on information available to the regulators at the time of their examinations.

The Bank has originated substantially all loans currently recorded on the Company’s accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet, except as noted below.

During October 2012, the Bank entered into an agreement to purchase short term consumer loans from a third party on an ongoing basis. As part of the servicer agreement entered into in connection with this purchase agreement, the third party seller agreed to purchase or substitute performing consumer loans for all contracts that become 120 days past due. Pursuant to the ongoing loan purchase agreement, a Board of Director determinant was originally established to limit the purchase of these consumer loans under this arrangement to a maximum of $40,000 and a restricted reserve account was established at 3% of the outstanding consumer loan balances purchased up to a maximum of $1,000, with such percentage amount of the loans being deposited into a segregated reserve account. The funds in the reserve account are to be released to compensate the Bank for any purchased loans that are not purchased back by the seller or substituted with performing loans and are ultimately charged off by the Bank. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Board of Directors increased the limit of these purchased consumer loans to a maximum of $50,000. As of March 31, 2015, the balance of the consumer loans purchased was $36,109. The balance in the cash reserve account has reached the maximum allowed balance of $1,000, which is included in Deposits on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. To date, none of the purchased loans have been charged off or experienced losses.

At March 31, 2015, the Company has identified $4,752 of TDR loans and $1,610 of substandard loans as impaired, totaling $6,362, which includes $4,614 of performing TDR loans. A loan is identified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Performing TDRs consist of loans that have been modified and are performing in accordance with the modified terms for a sufficient length of time, generally six months, or loans that were modified on a proactive basis. A summary of the Company’s impaired loans as of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was as follows:

Troubled Debt Restructuring – A TDR includes a loan modification where a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Bank grants a concession to that borrower that the Bank would not otherwise consider except for the borrower’s financial difficulties. Concessions include an extension of loan terms, renewals of existing balloon loans, reductions in interest rates and consolidating existing Bank loans at modified terms. A TDR may be either on accrual or nonaccrual status based upon the performance of the borrower and management’s assessment of collectability. If a TDR is placed on nonaccrual status, it remains there until a sufficient period of performance under the restructured terms has occurred at which time it is returned to accrual status. There were 3 delinquent TDRs greater than 60 days past due with a recorded investment of $252 at March 31, 2015, compared to 4 such loans with a recorded investment of $191 at September 30, 2014. A summary of loans by loan type modified in a troubled debt restructuring as of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, and during each of the six months then ended, and as of September 30, 2014 and during the twelve months then ended was as follows:

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. As part of such monitoring, the credit quality of individual securities and their issuers are assessed. Significant inputs used to measure the amount of other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss include, but are not limited to, default and delinquency rates of the underlying collateral, remaining credit support, and historical loss severities. Adjustments to market value of available for sale securities that are considered temporary are recorded as separate components of equity, net of tax. If the unrealized loss of a security is identified as other-than-temporary based on information available, such as the decline in the credit worthiness of the issuer, external market ratings, or the anticipated or realized elimination of associated dividends, such impairments are further analyzed to determine if credit loss exists. If there is a credit loss, it will be recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. Unrealized losses on available for sale securities, other than credit, will continue to be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Unrealized losses reflected in the preceding tables have not been included in results of operations because the unrealized loss was not deemed other-than-temporary. Management has determined that more likely than not, the Company neither intends to sell, nor will it be required to sell each debt security before its anticipated recovery.

A summary of the amount of other-than-temporary impairment related to credit losses on available for sale securities that have been recognized in earnings follows:

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense (benefit) for each of the periods shown below consisted of the following:

	Six months ended March 31, 2015			Six months ended March 31, 2014
Current tax provision (benefit)
Federal	$	820		$	(631	)
State	123			1
	943			(630		)
Deferred tax (benefit) provision
Federal	(169		)	935
State	1			51
	(168		)	986
Total	$	775		$	356

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying statutory federal income tax rates to pretax income as result of the following differences:

	Six months ended March 31, 2015					Six months ended March 31, 2014
	Amount			Rate		Amount			Rate
Tax expense at statutory rate	$	709		34.0	%	$	333		34.0	%
State income taxes net of federal taxes	124			6.0		53			5.4
Tax exempt interest	(23		)	(1.1	)	(22		)	(2.2	)
Other	(35		)	(1.7	)	(8		)	(0.8	)
Total	$	775		37.2	%	$	356		36.4	%

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The following is a summary of the significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively:

	March 31, 2015			September 30, 2014
Deferred tax assets:
Allowance for loan losses	$	2,567		$	2,562
Deferred loan costs/fees	180			217
Director/officer compensation plans	470			551
Net unrealized loss on securities available for sale	151			579
Other	364			233
Deferred tax assets	3,732			$	4,142
Deferred tax liabilities:
Office properties and equipment	(248		)	(397		)
Other	(110		)	(111		)
Deferred tax liabilities	(358		)	(508		)
Net deferred tax assets	$	3,374		$	3,634

The Company regularly reviews the carrying amount of its deferred tax assets to determine if the establishment of a valuation allowance is necessary, as further discussed in Note 1 “Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting

23

Policies,” above. At March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively, management determined that no valuation allowance was necessary.

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to review and examination by federal, state and local government authorities. As of March 31, 2015, years open to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service include taxable years ended September 30, 2011 to present. The years open to examination by state and local government authorities varies by jurisdiction.

The tax effects from uncertain tax positions can be recognized in the consolidated financial statements, provided the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company applied the foregoing accounting standard to all of its tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open as of the date of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax issues as components of other noninterest expense. During the six month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties related to income tax issues in its consolidated statements of operations. The Company had no recorded accrual or liability for the payment of interest and penalties related to income tax issues as of March 31, 2015 or September 30, 2014 respectively.

NOTE 7 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In February 2005, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2004 Recognition and Retention Plan. This plan provides for the grant of up to 113,910 shares of the Company’s common stock to eligible participants under this plan. As of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, 113,910 restricted shares under this plan were issued for both periods and 99,043 and 101,879 restricted shares under this plan were outstanding, respectively. Restricted shares previously granted were awarded at no cost to the employee and have a five-year vesting period from the grant date. The fair value of these previously granted restricted shares on the date of award was $7.04 per share for 63,783 shares, $6.18 for 6,832 shares, $5.24 for 20,312 shares, $5.65 for 2,500 shares and $5.84 for 20,483 shares. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, no shares were granted to eligible participants under this plan.

There were no previously awarded shares of the Company's common stock under the 2004 Recognition and Retention Plan that were forfeited in either of the six month periods ending March 31, 2015 or 2014, respectively. There were 2,054 shares of the Company's common stock surrendered under this plan during the six month period ending March 31, 2014 and 3,157 shares of the Company's common stock surrendered during the six month period ending March 31, 2015, in each case to satisfy the withholding taxes due upon the vesting of certain previously awarded shares. Through March 31, 2015, since the plan's inception, 77,124 shares of the Company's stock were vested and outstanding, 21,919 shares were unvested and outstanding, 9,338 shares were forfeited and 5,529 shares were surrendered.

In February 2005, the Company’s stockholders also approved the Company’s 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. This plan provides for the grant of nonqualified and incentive stock options and stock appreciation rights to eligible participants under the plan. The plan provides for the grant of awards for up to 284,778 shares of the Company’s common stock. At March 31, 2015, 284,778 options had been granted under this plan to eligible participants at a weighted-average exercise price of $6.57 per share. Options granted vest over a five-year period from the grant date. Unexercised, nonqualified stock options expire within 15 years of the grant date and unexercised incentive stock options expire within 10 years of the grant date. Through March 31, 2015, since the plan’s inception, options for 44,476 shares of the Company’s common stock were vested, options for 40,261 shares were unvested, options for 143,528 shares were forfeited and options for 56,513 shares were exercised. Of the 284,778 options granted, 84,737 remained outstanding as of March 31, 2015.

In February 2008, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. The aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan is 597,605 shares. Under this Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant stock options and stock appreciation rights that, upon exercise, result in the issuance of 426,860 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Committee may also grant shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units for an aggregate of 170,745 shares of Company common stock under this plan. As of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, 32,500 and 15,000 restricted shares under the 2008 Equity Incentive plan were issued, respectively. As of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, 31,403 and 15,000 restricted shares under the 2008 Equity Incentive plan were outstanding, respectively. Restricted shares granted were awarded at no cost to the employee and have a five-year vesting period from the grant date. The fair value of these previously granted restricted shares on the date of award was $8.00 for 15,000 shares and $9.20 for 17,500 shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, 17,500 and

24

15,000 shares, respectively, were granted to eligible participants under this plan. Through March 31, 2015, since the plan's inception, 1,903 shares of the Company's stock were vested and outstanding, 29,500 shares were unvested and outstanding, 0 shares were forfeited and 1,097 shares were surrendered.

Compensation expense related to restricted stock awards from both the 2004 Recognition and Retention Plan and the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan was $26 and $44 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015, respectively. Compensation expense related to restricted stock awards from both the 2004 Recognition and Retention Plan and the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan was $12 and $30 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, 95,000 and 45,000 common stock options under the 2008 Equity Incentive plan were issued, respectively. At March 31, 2015, 95,000 options had been granted under this plan to eligible participants at a weighted-average exercise price of $8.63 per share. Options granted vest over a five-year period from the grant date. Unexercised, nonqualified stock options expire within 15 years of the grant date and unexercised incentive stock options expire within 10 years of the grant date. There were 50,000 and 45,000 common stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Through March 31, 2015, since the plan's inception, options for 8,500 shares of the Company's common stock were vested, options for 84,000 shares were unvested, options for 2,500 shares were forfeited and options for 0 shares were exercised. Of the 95,000 options granted, 92,500 remained outstanding as of March 31, 2015.

The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation related to the Company’s 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan using the fair-value-based method. Accordingly, management records compensation expense based on the value of the award as measured on the grant date and then the Company recognizes that cost over the vesting period for the award. The compensation cost recognized for stock-based employee compensation related to both plans for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015, was $16 and $28, respectively. The compensation cost recognized for stock-based employee compensation related to both plans for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014, was $12 and $20.

GENERAL

The following discussion sets forth management’s discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition as of March 31, 2015, and our consolidated results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year for the six months ended March 31, 2014. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and the condensed notes thereto included with this report and with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the financial statements and notes related thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 8, 2014. Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, other than share, per share and capital ratio amounts, are stated in thousands.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The following table sets forth our results of operations and related summary information for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

	Three Months Ended March 31,						Six Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Net income as reported	$	596		$	321		$	1,311		$	624
EPS - basic, as reported	$	0.11		$	0.06		$	0.25		$	0.12
EPS - diluted, as reported	$	0.11		$	0.06		$	0.25		$	0.12
Cash dividends paid	$	0.08		$	0.04		$	0.08		$	0.04
Return on average assets (annualized)	0.42		%	0.24		%	0.46		%	0.23		%
Return on average equity (annualized)	4.10		%	2.38		%	4.52		%	2.28		%
Efficiency ratio, as reported (1)	78.05		%	78.73		%	75.39		%	76.57		%

(1) The efficiency ratio is calculated as non-interest expense minus branch closure costs divided by the sum of net interest income plus non-interest income, excluding net impairment losses recognized in earnings. A lower ratio indicates greater efficiency.

Key factors behind these results were:

• Net interest income was $4,585 and $9,426 for the three and six month period ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $247 or 5.11% and $386 or 3.93% from the prior year periods, respectively. The decreases were primarily due to sales of fixed rate longer term consumer real estate loans in the amount of $7,600 in September 2014 and $8,100 in October 2014 and the pressure on interest earning asset yields from the low interest rate environment and from market competition. These loan sales are part of the Company's ongoing loan portfolio and balance sheet management activities undertaken to manage, among other things, interest rate risk and liquidity.

26

• The net interest margin of 3.35% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 represents a 29 bp decrease from a net interest margin of 3.64% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The net interest margin of 3.41% for the six months ended March 31, 2015 represents a 24 bp decrease from a net interest margin of 3.65% for the six months ended March 31, 2014.

• Total loans were $453,495 at March 31, 2015, a decrease of $16,871, or 3.59%, from their balances at September 30, 2014, due to the loan sales discussed above and a seasonal reduction in loan volume as we concentrate on originating shorter term loans. Total deposits were $455,487 at March 31, 2015, an increase of $5,720, or 1.27%, from their balances at September 30, 2014.

• Net loan charge-offs decreased from $964 for the six months ended March 31, 2014 to $338 for the six months ended March 31, 2015, as a result of overall credit quality improvement within the loan portfolio. Continued lower levels of net loan charge-offs led to a decreased provision for loan losses of $385 for the six month period ended March 31, 2015, compared to $1,080 for the six months ended March 31, 2014. Annualized net loan charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.15% for the six months ended March 31, 2015, compared to 0.44% for the six months ended March 31, 2014.

• Non-interest income increased from $632 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $924 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, mainly due to secondary market and commercial loan origination fees. Non-interest income increased from $1,508 for the six months ended March 31, 2014 to $1,958 for the six months ended March 31, 2015, mainly due to secondary market loan origination fees, the receipt of a loan sale premium occurring during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and a $79 decrease in net impairment losses on investment securities.

• Non-interest expense decreased $58, from $4,479 to $4,421, for the three month period ending March 31, 2015 compared to the three month period ending March 31, 2014. Non-interest expense decreased $347, from $9,260 to $8,913, for the six month period ending March 31, 2015 compared to the six month period ending March 31, 2014. Non-interest expense reductions in both periods reflected reduced employee and office expenses as part of our branch rationalization plan.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and their related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that our management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. Some of these estimates are more critical than others. In addition to the policies included in Note 1, “Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included as an exhibit to our Form 10-K annual report for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014, our critical accounting estimates are as follows:

Allowance for Loan Losses.

We maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the estimated probable and inherent losses in our loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan loss, we consider the types of loans and the amount of loans in our loan portfolio, historical loss experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying loan collateral and prevailing economic conditions. We follow all applicable regulatory guidance, including the “Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses,” issued by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC). We believe that the Bank’s Allowance for Loan Losses Policy conforms to all applicable regulatory requirements. However, based on periodic examinations by regulators, the amount of the allowance for loan losses recorded during a particular period may be adjusted.

Our determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on (1) specific allowances for specifically identified and evaluated impaired loans and their corresponding estimated loss based on likelihood of default, payment history, and net realizable value of underlying collateral; and (2) a general allowance on loans not specifically identified in (1) above, based on historical loss ratios which are adjusted for qualitative and general economic factors. We continue to refine our allowance for loan losses methodology, with an increased emphasis on historical performance adjusted for applicable economic and qualitative factors.

Assessing the allowance for loan losses is inherently subjective as it requires making material estimates, including estimating the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans, any of which estimates may be susceptible to significant change. In our opinion, the allowance, when taken as a whole, reflects estimated probable loan losses in our loan portfolio.

Income Taxes.

The assessment of tax assets and liabilities involves the use of estimates, assumptions, interpretations, and judgments concerning certain accounting pronouncements and federal and state tax codes. There can be no assurance that future events, such as court decisions or positions of federal and state taxing authorities, will not differ from management’s current assessment, the impact of which could be material to our consolidated results of our operations and reported earnings. We believe that the tax assets and liabilities are adequate and properly recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2015, management does not believe a valuation allowance related to the realizability of its deferred tax assets is necessary.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS ANALYSIS

Net Interest Income. Net interest income represents the difference between the dollar amount of interest earned on interest-bearing assets and the dollar amount of interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The interest income and expense of financial institutions (including those of the Bank) are significantly affected by general economic conditions, competition, policies of regulatory authorities and other factors.

Interest rate spread and net interest margin are used to measure and explain changes in net interest income. Interest rate spread is the difference between the yield on interest earning assets and the rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities that fund those assets. Net interest margin is expressed as the percentage of net interest income to average interest earning assets. Net interest margin currently exceeds interest rate spread because non-interest bearing sources of funds (“net free funds”), principally demand deposits and stockholders’ equity, also support interest earning assets. The narrative below discusses net interest income, interest rate spread, and net interest margin for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Tax equivalent net interest income was $4,604 and $9,465 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $4,851 and $9,848 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014. The net interest margin for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015 was 3.35% and 3.41% compared to 3.64% and 3.65%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014.

As shown in the rate/volume analysis in the following pages, volume changes resulted in an increase of $159 and $363 in net interest income for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015 compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase and changes in the composition of interest earning assets resulted in an increase of $170 and $405 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015, compared to the same period in the prior year. Rate changes on interest earning assets decreased net interest income by $352 and $707 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015. Rate changes on interest-bearing liabilities increased interest expense by $54 and $39 over the same period in the prior year, resulting in a net decrease of $406 and $746 in net interest income due to changes in interest rates during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015. The increase in our balances of loans outstanding was due to commercial real estate and agricultural loan growth in the current year to date period over the balances in the prior year period, and was the primary factor affecting volume changes during these same periods. Rate decreases on loans are reflective of the overall lower market interest rate environment versus historic levels. While the overall rate environment was lower in the current year to date period versus historic levels for deposit products as well, our emphasis on extending maturities on deposits products, as part of our overall interest rate risk strategy, has led to an increase in our interest expense.

We have remained liability sensitive in the short term during the most recent two fiscal years, in which interest rates have declined to historically low levels. A continuing low interest rate environment may enable us to experience a further reduction in our cost of funds. However, the current environment is reducing asset yields and may result in a further decline in our net interest margin.

Average Balances, Net Interest Income, Yields Earned and Rates Paid. The following Net Interest Income Analysis table presents interest income from average interest earning assets, expressed in dollars and yields, and interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed in dollars and rates on a tax equivalent basis. Shown below is the weighted average yield on interest earning assets, rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant spread at or during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015, and for the comparable prior year three and six month periods. Non-accruing loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Average interest earning assets were $556,671 and $556,213 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015, compared to $540,787 and $541,712 for the comparable prior year periods. Interest income on interest earning assets was $5,711 and $11,691 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015, respectively, compared to $5,893 and $11,993

28

for the same periods in the prior year. Interest income is comprised primarily of interest income on loans and interest income on investment securities adjusted for the tax benefit of tax-exempt securities. Interest income on loans was $5,375 and $10,971 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015, respectively, compared to $5,519 and $11,241 for the comparable prior year periods. Interest income on investment securities was $288 and $630 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015, respectively, compared to $364 and $732 for the similar prior year periods. The decrease in loan interest income in the current year three and six month periods was primarily due to a continued lower interest rate environment in the current year periods over the comparable periods in the prior year. The decrease in interest income on investment securities was primarily due to a decrease in rate and volume in the current year periods over the comparable periods in the prior year.

Average interest-bearing liabilities were $487,782 and $488,401 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015, respectively, compared to $494,428 and $495,388 for the similar prior year periods. Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities was $1,107 and $2,226 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015, respectively, compared to $1,042 and $2,145 for the same periods in the prior year. Interest expense remained relatively flat during the current three and six month periods compared to the comparable prior year periods, as increases in deposit balances were offset by corresponding changes in deposit mix, resulting in slightly higher rates paid on deposits.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, interest expense on interest-bearing deposits increased $24 and $50 from volume and mix changes and increased $43 and $21 from the impact of the rate environment, resulting in an aggregate increase of $67 and $71 in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits during such periods. Interest expense on FHLB advances decreased $13 and $8 from volume and mix changes and increased $11 and $18 from the impact of the rate environment during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015 for an aggregate decrease of $2 for the three month period and an aggregate increase of $10 for the six month period. The net increases were primarily due to maturing lower rate FHLB borrowings.

(1) For the six months endedMarch 31, 2015 and 2014, the average balances of the tax exempt investment securities, included in investment securities, were $9,546 and $9,090, respectively. The interest income on tax exempt securities is computed on a tax-equivalent basis using a tax rate of 34% for all periods presented.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the components of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that are presented in the preceding table. For each category of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to: (1) changes in volume, which are changes in the average outstanding balances multiplied by the prior period rate (i.e. holding the initial rate constant); and (2) changes in rate, which are changes in average interest rates multiplied by the prior period volume (i.e. holding the initial balance constant). Changes due to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been allocated in proportion to the relationship of the dollar amounts of the change in each category.

Provision for Loan Losses. We determine our provision for loan losses (“provision”, or “PLL”) based on our desire to provide an adequate allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) to reflect probable and inherent credit losses in our loan portfolio. Prior to the past 2 years, higher charge off levels and the negative influence of certain qualitative and general economic factors discussed above under “Critical Accounting Estimates—Allowance for Loan Losses”, made it necessary to increase our provision to ensure an adequate ALL. Within the last year, we have experienced lower levels of charge-offs and nonperforming loans. With both local and national unemployment rates improving slightly in recent quarters and improved asset quality due to our stricter underwriting standards, we anticipate our actual charge-off experience to remain stable throughout the remainder of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015.

Net loan charge-offs for the six month period ended March 31, 2015 were $338, compared to $964, for the comparable prior year period. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans were 0.15% for the six months ended March 31, 2015, compared to 0.44% for the comparable period in the prior year. Non-accrual loans were $976 at March 31, 2015, compared to $1,184 at September 30, 2014. We believe our credit and underwriting policies have supported more effective lending decisions by the Bank, resulting in improved loan quality. Refer to the “Allowance for Loan Losses” and “Nonperforming Loans, Potential Problem Loans and Foreclosed Properties” sections below for more information related to non-performing loans.

We recorded a provision for loan losses of $150 and $385 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015, compared to $480 and $1,080 for the comparable prior year periods. Management believes that the provision taken for the current year three and six month periods is adequate in view of the present condition of our loan portfolio and the sufficiency of collateral supporting our non-performing loans. We continually monitor non-performing loan relationships and will make adjustments to our provision, as necessary, if changing facts and circumstances require a change in the ALL. In addition, a decline in the quality of our loan portfolio as a result of general economic conditions, factors affecting particular borrowers or our market areas, or otherwise, could all affect the adequacy of our ALL. If there are significant charge-offs against the ALL, or we otherwise determine that the ALL is inadequate, we will need to record an additional PLL in the future. See the section below captioned “Allowance for Loan Losses” in this discussion for further analysis of our provision for loan losses.

Non-interest Income (Loss). The following table reflects the various components of non-interest income for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

	Three months ended March 31,					%		Six months ended March 31,					%
	2015		2014			Change		2015		2014			Change
Non-interest Income:
Net gain (loss) on available for sale securities	$	45	$	(141	)	131.91	%	$	47	$	(220	)	121.36	%
Service charges on deposit accounts	378		450			(16.00	)	850		1,003			(15.25	)%
Loan fees and service charges	292		137			113.14		647		354			82.77	%
Other	209		186			12.37		414		371			11.59	%
Total non-interest income	$	924	$	632		46.20	%	$	1,958	$	1,508		29.84	%

The decrease of $72 and $153 in service charges on deposit accounts for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015, respectively, was primarily due to a decrease in overdraft fee income during the current three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015. The increase of $292 in non-interest income during the current year three month period ended March 31, 2015 was primarily due to secondary market and commercial loan origination fees. The increase of $450 in non-interest income during the current year six month period ended March 31, 2015 was primarily due to secondary market and commercial loan origination fees, the receipt of a loan sale premium occurring during the current year first quarter and a $79 decrease in net impairment losses on investment securities.

33

Non-interest Expense. The following table reflects the various components of non-interest expense for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

	Three months ended March 31,						%		Six months ended March 31,						%
	2015			2014			Change		2015			2014			Change
Non-interest Expense:
Salaries and related benefits	$	2,178		$	2,375		(8.29	)%	$	4,353		$	4,644		(6.27	)%
Occupancy - net	664			635			4.57		1,484			1,270			16.85

Professional services	270			213			26.76		589			431			36.66
Other	358			409			(12.47	)	675			1,128			(40.16	)
Total non-interest expense	$	4,421		$	4,479		(1.29	)%	$	8,913		$	9,260		(3.75	)%
Non-interest expense (annualized) / Average assets	3.10		%	3.25		%	(4.62	)%	3.13		%	3.35		%	(6.57	)%

Non-interest expense decreased $58 and $347 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015, compared to the same periods in the prior year. During the current three and six month periods, salaries and related benefits, as well as office expenses, decreased due to efficiencies and cost savings realized over recent years through management initiatives, including branch closures, technology improvements and a higher focus on employee education and training. Occupancy costs, consisting primarily of office rental and depreciation expenses, increased during the current three and six month periods over the same periods in the prior year due to accelerated branch depreciation costs related to the three branch closures during January 2015. Advertising, marketing and public relations expenses increased during the three and six month periods over the same periods in the prior year due to an increased emphasis on marketing our brand in our most profitable markets. Other expenses decreased in the current three and six month periods due to branch closure costs incurred in the same periods in the prior year.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $342 and $775 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, respectively, compared to $184 and $356 for the same periods in the prior year.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Loans. Gross Loan balances decreased by $16,871, or 3.59%, to $453,495 as of March 31, 2015 from $470,366 at September 30, 2014. At March 31, 2015, the loan portfolio was comprised of $249,102 of loans secured by real estate, or 54.9% of total loans including $48,118 in commercial and agricultural real estate loans, and $204,393 of consumer and other loans, or 45.1% of total loans, including $7,500 of C&I loans. At September 30, 2014, the loan portfolio mix included real estate loans of $261,315, or 55.6% of total loans including $39,061 in commercial and agricultural real estate loans, and consumer and other loans of $209,051, or 44.4% of total loans, including $6,076 of C&I loans. In the first six months of the current fiscal year, our loan portfolio decreased by $16,871, primarily due to the sale in October 2014 of fixed rate longer term consumer real estate loans in the amount of $8,100 and a seasonal reduction in loan volume as we concentrate on originating shorter term loan maturities.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The loan portfolio is our primary asset subject to credit risk. To address this credit risk, we maintain an ALL for probable and inherent credit losses through periodic charges to our earnings. These charges are shown in our consolidated statements of operations as PLL. See “Provision for Loan Losses” earlier in this Report. We attempt to control, monitor and minimize credit risk through the use of prudent lending standards, a thorough review of potential borrowers prior to lending and ongoing and timely review of payment performance. Asset quality administration, including early identification of loans performing in a substandard manner, as well as timely and active resolution of problems, further enhances management of credit risk and minimization of loan losses. Any losses that occur and that are charged off against the ALL are periodically reviewed with specific efforts focused on achieving maximum recovery of both principal and interest.

34

At least quarterly, we review the adequacy of the ALL. Based on an estimate computed pursuant to the requirements of ASC 450-10, “Accounting for Contingencies” and ASC 310-10, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan”, the analysis of the ALL consists of three components: (i) specific credit allocation established for expected losses relating to specific impaired loans for which the recorded investment in the loan exceeds its fair value; (ii) general portfolio allocation based on historical loan loss experience for significant loan categories; and (iii) general portfolio allocation based on qualitative factors such as economic conditions and other relevant factors specific to the markets in which we operate. We continue to refine our ALL methodology by introducing a greater level of granularity to our loan portfolio. We currently segregate loans into pools based on common risk characteristics for purposes of allocating the ALL. The additional segmentation of the portfolio is intended to provide a more effective basis for the determination of qualitative factors affecting our ALL. In addition, management continually evaluates our ALL methodology to assess whether modifications in our methodology are appropriate in light of underwriting practices, market conditions, identifiable trends, regulatory pronouncements or other factors. We believe that any modifications or changes to the ALL methodology would be to enhance the ALL. However, any such modifications could result in materially different ALL levels in future periods.

The specific credit allocation for the ALL is based on a regular analysis of all loans that are considered impaired. In compliance with ASC 310-10, the fair value of the loan is determined based on either the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the market price of the loan, or, if the loan is collateral dependent, the fair value of the underlying collateral less the expected cost of sale for such collateral. At March 31, 2015, we had 147 such loans, all secured by real estate or personal property with an aggregate recorded investment of $6,362. The total for the 59 such individual loans where estimated fair value was less than their book value (i.e. we deemed impairment to exist) was $3,256 for which $672 in specific ALL was recorded as of March 31, 2015.

At March 31, 2015, there were 60 individual substandard loans, not considered TDRs, with an aggregate recorded investment of $1,610. The total for the 13 such individual loans where estimated fair value was less than their book value (i.e. we deemed impairment to exist) was $119 for which $33 in specific ALL was recorded as of March 31, 2015.

At March 31, 2015, the ALL was $6,553, or 1.44% of our total loan portfolio, compared to ALL of $6,506, or 1.38% of the total loan portfolio at September 30, 2014. This level was based on our analysis of the loan portfolio risk at March 31, 2015, taking into account the factors discussed above. At March 31, 2015, the ALL was 1.57% of our total loan portfolio, excluding the third party purchased consumer loans referenced elsewhere herein, compared to 1.49% of the total loan portfolio excluding these third party purchased consumer loans at September 30, 2014. We have established a separate restricted reserve account for these third party purchased consumer loans. The funds in the reserve account are to be released to compensate the Bank for any nonperforming purchased loans that are not purchased back by the seller or substituted with performing loans and are ultimately charged off.

All of the nine factors identified in the FFIEC's Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses are taken into account in determining the ALL. The impact of the factors in general categories are subject to change; thus the allocations are management’s estimate of the loan loss categories in which the probable and inherent loss has occurred as of the date of our assessment. Of the nine factors, we believe the following have the greatest impact on our customers’ ability to repay loans and our ability to recover potential losses through collateral sales: (1) lending policies and procedures; (2) economic and business conditions; (3) the value of the underlying collateral. As loan balances and estimated losses in a particular loan type decrease or increase and as the factors and resulting allocations are monitored by management, changes in the risk profile of the various parts of the loan portfolio may be reflected in the allocated allowance. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for these and other qualitative factors. In addition, management continues to refine the ALL estimation process as new information becomes available. These refinements could also cause increases or decreases in the ALL. The unallocated portion of the ALL is intended to account for imprecision in the estimation process or relevant current information that may not have been considered in the process.

Nonperforming Loans, Potential Problem Loans and Foreclosed Properties. We practice early identification of non-accrual and problem loans in order to minimize the Bank's risk of loss. Non-performing loans are defined as non-accrual loans and restructured loans that were 90 days or more past due at the time of their restructure, or when management determines that such classification is warranted. The accrual of interest income is discontinued on our loans according to the following schedule:

•Commercial Loans, including Agricultural and C&I loans, past due 90 days or more;

•Closed end consumer loans past due 120 days or more; and

•Real estate loans and open ended consumer loans past due 180 days or more.

35

When interest accruals are discontinued, interest credited to income is reversed. If collection is in doubt, cash receipts on non-accrual loans are used to reduce principal rather than being recorded as interest income. A TDR typically involves the granting of some concession to the borrower involving a loan modification, such as modifying the payment schedule or making interest rate changes. TDR loans may involve loans that have had a charge-off taken against the loan to reduce the carrying amount of the loan to fair market value as determined pursuant to ASC 310-10.

(1)    Total loans at March 31, 2015, include $36,109 in consumer and other loans purchased from a third party. See Note 3 in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the separate restricted reserve account established for these purchased consumer loans.

Loans 30 to 90 days past due slightly increased at March 31, 2015 compared to their balances as of September 30, 2014. However, loans 30 to 90 days past due have decreased significantly at March 31, 2015 compared to the comparable prior year period, which management believes is indicative of a decreasing likelihood of loans migrating toward nonaccrual or nonperforming status in the future. We believe our credit and underwriting policies are supporting more effective lending decisions by the Bank, which increases the likelihood of improved loan quality going forward. Moreover, we believe the favorable trends noted in previous quarters regarding our nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets reflect our continued

36

adherence to improved underwriting criteria and practices along with improvements in macroeconomic factors in our credit markets. We believe our current ALL is adequate to cover probable losses in our current loan portfolio.

Non-performing loans of $1,087 at March 31, 2015, which included $138 of non-accrual troubled debt restructured loans, reflected a reduction of $498 from the non-performing loans balance of $1,585 at September 30, 2014. These non-performing loan relationships are secured primarily by collateral including residential real estate or the consumer assets financed by the loans.

Our non-performing assets were $2,138 at March 31, 2015, or 0.38% of total assets, compared to $2,635, or 0.46% of total assets at September 30, 2014. The decrease in non-performing assets since September 30, 2014 was primarily a result of a decrease in non-performing loans as a result of overall credit quality improvement within our loan portfolio.

Other real estate owned (OREO) increased by $7, from $1,025 at September 30, 2014 to $1,032 at March 31, 2015. Other collateral owned decreased $6 during the six months ended March 31, 2015 to $19 from the September 30, 2014 balance of $25. We continue to aggressively liquidate OREO and other collateral owned as part of our overall credit risk strategy.

Net charge offs for the six month period ended March 31, 2015 were $338, compared to $964 for the same prior year period. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average loans receivable was 0.15% for the six month period ended March 31, 2015, compared to 0.35% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2014. Improved net charge-offs during the current year to date period were primarily a result of the overall credit quality improvement within our loan portfolio.

Investment Securities. We manage our securities portfolio in an effort to enhance income and improve liquidity. Our Investment portfolio is comprised of securities available for sale and securities held to maturity.

Securities held to maturity were $9,038 at March 31, 2015, compared with $8,785 at September 30, 2014. Securities available for sale, which represent the majority of our investment portfolio, were $54,006 at March 31, 2015, compared with $62,189 at September 30, 2014.

At March 31, 2015, securities in the amount of $4,814 were pledged against a line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. As of March 31, 2015, this line of credit had a zero balance. The Bank has pledged certain of its U.S. Government Agency securities as collateral against specific municipal deposits.

Deposits. Deposits increased to $455,487 at March 31, 2015, from $449,767 at September 30, 2014, largely due to an increase in consumer checking, commercial and municipal deposits, partially offset by deposit runoff in the markets where branch closures took place.

Our objective is to grow core deposits and build customer relationships with convenience, customer service, and by

expanding our deposit product offerings with competitive pricing. Management expects to continue to place emphasis on both

retaining and generating additional core deposits in 2015 through competitive pricing of deposit products and through the

branch delivery systems that we have already established.

38

Institutional certificates of deposit as a funding source decreased for the six months ended March 31, 2015 from their balance as of September 30, 2014. Institutional certificates of deposit remain an important part of our deposit mix as we continue to pursue funding sources to lower the Bank's cost of funds.

The Bank had $18,263 and $11,960 in brokered deposits at March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively. Brokered deposit levels are within all regulatory directives thereon.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances (borrowings). FHLB advances decreased from $58,891 as of September 30, 2014, to $50,891 as of March 31, 2015 due to advance maturities.

Stockholders’ Equity. Total stockholders’ equity was $59,170 at March 31, 2015, compared to $57,293 at September 30, 2014. Total stockholders’ equity increased by $1,877, primarily as a result of an increase in other comprehensive income and earnings during the six months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in other comprehensive income was primarily the net affect of adjustments for realized gain and unrealized losses on available for sale securities.

Liquidity and Asset / Liability Management. Liquidity management refers to our ability to ensure cash is available in a timely manner to meet loan demand and depositors’ needs, and meet other financial obligations as they become due without undue cost, risk or disruption to normal operating activities. Asset / liability management refers to our ability to efficiently and effectively utilize customer deposits and other funding sources to generate sufficient risk-weighted yields on interest earning assets. We manage and monitor our short-term and long-term liquidity positions and needs through a regular review of maturity profiles, funding sources, and loan and deposit forecasts to minimize funding risk. A key metric we monitor is our liquidity ratio, calculated as cash and investments with maturities less than one-year divided by deposits with maturities less than one-year. At March 31, 2015, our liquidity ratio was 19.25%, which is above our targeted liquidity ratio of 10.0%.

Our primary sources of funds are deposits; amortization, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans; other short-term investments; and funds provided from operations. We use our sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing commitments, to pay maturing certificates of deposit and savings withdrawals, and to fund loan commitments. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and maturing short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Although $51,317 of our $241,334 (21.3%) CD portfolio as of March 31, 2015 will mature within the next 12 months, we have historically retained over 70% of our maturing CD’s. Through new deposit product offerings to our consumer and commercial loan customers, we are currently attempting to strengthen customer relationships by building core deposit relationships. In the present interest rate environment, and based on maturing yields, this should also improve our cost of funds. While we believe that our branch network attracts core deposits and enhances the Bank's long-term liquidity, a key component to our broader liquidity management strategy, we continue to analyze the profitability of our branch network.

We maintain access to additional sources of funds including FHLB borrowings and lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank, US Bank and Bankers’ Bank. We utilize FHLB borrowings to leverage our capital base, to provide funds for our lending and investment activities, and to manage our interest rate risk. Our borrowing arrangement with the FHLB calls for pledging certain qualified real estate loans, and borrowing up to 75% of the value of those loans, not to exceed 35% of the Bank’s total assets. Currently, we have approximately $86,690 available under this arrangement. We also maintain lines of credit of $3,900 with the Federal Reserve Bank, $5,000 with US Bank and $13,500 with Bankers’ Bank as part of our contingency funding plan. The Federal Reserve Bank line of credit is based on 80% of the collateral value of the agency securities being held at the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bankers’ Bank line of credit is a discretionary line of credit. As of March 31, 2015, our line of credit balance with the Federal Home Loan Bank was $50,891. As of the same date, our line of credit balance with the Federal Reserve Bank, US Bank and Bankers' Bank was $0.

Off-Balance Sheet Liabilities. Some of our financial instruments have off-balance sheet risk. These instruments include unused commitments for lines of credit, overdraft protection lines of credit and home equity lines of credit, as well as commitments to extend credit. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $14,285 in unused commitments, compared to $16,119 in unused commitments as of September 30, 2014.

Capital Resources. As of March 31, 2015, as shown in the table below, our Tier 1 and Risk-based capital levels exceeded levels necessary to be considered “Well Capitalized” under Prompt Corrective Action provisions.

Effective January 31, 2015, regulatory capital rules and ratios were revised according to the Basel III Risk Based Capital Guidelines. At March 31, 2015, the Bank was categorized as "Well Capitalized" under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions, as determined by the OCC, our primary regulator.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our Risk When Interest Rates Change. The rates of interest we earn on assets and pay on liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Market interest rates change over time and are not predictable or controllable. Accordingly, our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. Like other financial institutions, our interest income and interest expense are affected by general economic conditions and policies of regulatory authorities, including the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve. The risk associated with changes in interest rates and our ability to adapt to these changes is known as interest rate risk and is our most significant market risk.

How We Measure Our Risk of Interest Rate Changes. As part of our attempt to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and comply with applicable regulations, we monitor our interest rate risk through several means including through the use of third party reporting software. In monitoring interest rate risk we continually analyze and manage assets and liabilities based on their payment streams and interest rates, the timing of their maturities, and their sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates.

In order to manage the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged increases in interest rates on our results of operations, we adopted asset and liability management policies to better align the maturities and re-pricing terms of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. These policies are implemented by our Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO). The ALCO is comprised of members of senior management and the Board of Directors. The ALCO establishes guidelines for and monitors the volume and mix of our assets and funding sources, taking into account relative costs and spreads, interest rate sensitivity and liquidity needs. The Committee’s objectives are to manage assets and funding sources to produce results that are consistent with liquidity, cash flow, capital adequacy, growth, risk and profitability goals for the Bank. The ALCO meets on a regularly scheduled basis to review, among other things, economic conditions and interest rate outlook, current and projected liquidity needs and capital position, anticipated changes in the volume and mix of assets and liabilities and interest rate risk exposure limits versus current projections pursuant to net present value of portfolio equity analysis. At each meeting, the Committee recommends strategy changes, as appropriate, based on this review. The Committee is responsible for reviewing and reporting on the effects of the policy implementations and strategies to the Bank’s Board of Directors on a regularly scheduled basis.

40

In order to manage our assets and liabilities and achieve desired levels of liquidity, credit quality, cash flow, interest rate risk, profitability and capital targets, we have focused our strategies on:

• originating shorter-term secured consumer, commercial and agricultural loan maturities;

• managing our funding needs by utilizing core deposits, institutional certificates of deposits and borrowings as appropriate to extend terms and lock in fixed interest rates;

• reducing non-interest expense and managing our efficiency ratio by implementing technologies to enhance customer service and increase employee productivity;

• realigning supervision and control of our branch network by modifying their configuration, staffing, locations and reporting structure to focus resources on our most productive markets;

• managing our exposure to changes in interest rates, including but not limited to the sale of longer term fixed rate consumer loans. In September 2014, the bank sold approximately $7.6 million in fixed rate longer term consumer real estate loans to lessen our exposure to changes in interest rates. In October 2014, the bank sold an additional $8.1 million in fixed rate longer term consumer real estate loans. Additional loan sales may occur in the future if the analysis proves advantageous to the Bank; and

• originating balloon mortgage loans with a term of 7 years or less to minimize the impact of sudden rate changes.

At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the Asset and Liability Management Committee may determine to increase or decrease the Bank’s interest rate risk position somewhat in order to manage net interest margin.

The following table sets forth, at December 31, 2014 (the most recent date available), an analysis of our interest rate risk as measured by the estimated changes in Economic Value of Equity (EVE) resulting from an immediate and permanent shift in the yield curve (up 300 basis points and down 100 basis points). As of March 31, 2015, due to the current level of interest rates, EVE estimates for decreases in interest rates greater than 100 basis points are not meaningful.

Our overall interest rate sensitivity is demonstrated by net interest income shock analysis which measures the change in net interest income in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. This analysis assesses the risk of change in our net interest income over the next 12 months in the event of an immediate and parallel shift in the yield curve (up 300 basis points

41

and down 100 basis points). The table below presents our projected change in net interest income for the various rate shock levels at December 31, 2014 (the most recent date available) and September 30, 2014.

Note: The table above may not be indicative of future results.

The assumptions used to measure and assess interest rate risk include interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay (runoff) rates, and the market values of certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios. Actual values may differ from those projections set forth above should market conditions vary from the assumptions used in preparing the analysis. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that the information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize 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 necessarily was required to apply judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We have designed our disclosure controls and procedures to reach a level of reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. We carried out an evaluation as of March 31, 2015, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2015 at reaching a level of reasonable assurance.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2015

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens Community Federal N.A. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates – Preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other items, fair value of financial instruments, the allowance for loan losses, valuation of acquired intangible assets, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets, deferred tax assets, uncertain income tax positions and contingencies. Management does not anticipate any material changes to estimates made herein in the near term. Factors that may cause sensitivity to the aforementioned estimates include but are not limited to external market factors such as market interest rates and unemployment rates, changes to operating policies and procedures, and changes in applicable banking regulations. Actual results may ultimately differ from estimates, although management does not generally believe such differences would materially affect the consolidated financial statements in any individual reporting period.

Investment Securities; Held to Maturity and Available for Sale

Investment Securities; Held to Maturity and Available for Sale – Management determines the appropriate classification of investment securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of the date of each statement of financial position. Securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held to maturity securities are stated at amortized cost. Investment securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as available for sale. Available for sale securities are stated at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses deemed other than temporarily impaired due to non-credit issues being reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Unrealized losses deemed other-than-temporary due to credit issues are reported in the Company’s earnings in the period in which the losses arise. Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or accretion of purchase discount. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the estimated lives of the underlying securities.

In estimating other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI), management considers: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. The difference between the present values of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis is the credit loss. The credit loss is the portion of OTTI that is recognized in operations and is a reduction to the cost basis of the security. The portion of other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors is included in other comprehensive income (loss), net of the related tax effect.

Loans

Loans – Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, and net of deferred loan fees and costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the interest method without anticipating prepayments.

Interest income on commercial, mortgage and consumer loans is discontinued according to the following schedules:

•Commercial loans, including Agricultural and C&I loans, past due 90 days or more;

•Closed end consumer loans past due 120 days or more; and

•Real estate loans and open ended consumer loans past due 180 days or more.

Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not received for a loan placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost recovery method until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when payments are made that bring the loan account current with the contractual term of the loan and a 6 month payment history has been established. Interest on impaired loans considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) or substandard, less than 90 days delinquent, is recognized as income as it accrues based on the revised terms of the loan over an established period of continued payment. Substandard loans, as defined by the OCC, our primary banking regulator, are loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.

Real estate loans and open ended consumer loans are charged off to estimated net realizable value less estimated selling costs at the earlier of when (a) the loan is deemed by management to be uncollectible, or (b) the loan becomes past due 180 days or more. Closed end consumer loans are charged off to net realizable value at the earlier of when (a) the loan is deemed by management to be uncollectible, or (b) the loan becomes past due 120 days or more.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Allowance for Loan Losses – The allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is a valuation allowance for probable and inherent credit losses in our loan portfolio. Loan losses are charged against the ALL when management believes that the collectability of a loan balance is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ALL. Management estimates the required ALL balance taking into account the following factors: past loan loss experience; the nature, volume and composition of our loan portfolio; known and inherent risks in our loan portfolio; information about specific borrowers’ ability to repay; estimated collateral values; current economic conditions; and other relevant factors determined by management. The ALL consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for certain qualitative factors. The entire ALL balance is available for any loan that, in our management’s judgment, should be charged off.

A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impaired loans consist of all TDRs, as well as individual substandard loans not considered a TDR, when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. All TDRs are individually evaluated for impairment. See Note 3, “Loans, Allowance for Loan Losses and Impaired Loans” for more information on what we consider to be a TDR. If a TDR or substandard loan is deemed to be impaired, a specific ALL allocation is established so that the loan is reported, net, at either (a) the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate; or (b) at the fair value of any collateral, less estimated disposal costs, if repayment is expected solely from the underlying collateral of the loan. For TDRs less than 90+ days past due, and certain substandard loans that are less than 90+ days delinquent, the likelihood of the loan migrating to over 90 days past due is also taken into account when determining the specific ALL allocation for these particular loans. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as non-TDR commercial, consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.

Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets, net

Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets, net – Assets acquired through foreclosure or repossession are initially recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell, which establishes a new cost basis. If the fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure or repossession, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs incurred after acquisition are expensed and are included in non-interest expense, other on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this guidance, deferred taxes 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that will apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. See Note 6, "Income Taxes" for details on the Company’s income taxes.

The Company regularly reviews the carrying amount of its net deferred tax assets to determine if the establishment of a valuation allowance is necessary. If based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company’s net deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods, a deferred tax valuation allowance would be established. Consideration is given to various positive and negative factors that could affect the realization of the deferred tax assets. In evaluating this available evidence, management considers, among other things, historical performance, expectations of future earnings, the ability to carry back losses to recoup taxes previously paid, the length of statutory carryforward periods, any experience with utilization of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring, tax planning strategies and timing of reversals of temporary differences. Significant judgment is required in assessing future earnings trends and the timing of reversals of temporary differences. Accordingly, the Company’s evaluation is based on current tax laws as well as management’s expectations of future performance.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share – Basic earnings per common share is net income or loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable during the period, consisting of stock options outstanding under the Company’s stock incentive plans

Reclassifications

Reclassifications – Certain items previously reported were reclassified for consistency with the current presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In August, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-14; "Receivables; Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure". ASU 2014-14 is intended to improve accounting and disclosure consistency related to how creditors classify government-guaranteed mortgage loans, including FHA or VA guaranteed loans, upon foreclosure. For public entities, ASU 2014-09 is effective on a prospective basis for the annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2014-14 to have no material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In May, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09; "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 is intended to clarify and simplify revenue recognition principles, develop a common revenue standard across industries and accounting frameworks, and improve the usefulness and consistency of revenue reporting. For public entities, ASU 2014-09 is effective on a retrospective basis for the annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have no material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In January, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04; "Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)". ASU 2014-04 is intended to improve consistency among reporting entities by clarifying when an in substance foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should derecognize a loan and recognize the corresponding real estate collateral as a separate asset. For public entities, ASU 2014-04 is effective for the annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2014-04 to have no material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Loans, Allowance for Loan Losses and Impaired Loans

Receivables [Abstract]

LOANS, ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND IMPAIRED LOANS

LOANS, ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND IMPAIRED LOANS

The ALL represents management’s estimate of probable and inherent credit losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio. Estimating the amount of the ALL requires the exercise of significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of other qualitative factors such as current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change.

There are many factors affecting the ALL; some are quantitative, while others require qualitative judgment. The process for determining the ALL (which management believes adequately considers potential factors which result in probable credit losses), includes subjective elements and, therefore, may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional provision for loan losses could be required that could adversely affect the Company’s earnings or financial position in future periods. Allocations of the ALL may be made for specific loans but the entire ALL is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off or for which an actual loss is realized.

As an integral part of their examination process, various regulatory agencies also review the Bank’s ALL. Such agencies may require that changes in the ALL be recognized when such regulators’ credit evaluations differ from those of our management based on information available to the regulators at the time of their examinations.

Changes in the ALL by loan type for the periods presented below were as follows:

The Bank has originated substantially all loans currently recorded on the Company’s accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet, except as noted below.

During October 2012, the Bank entered into an agreement to purchase short term consumer loans from a third party on an ongoing basis. As part of the servicer agreement entered into in connection with this purchase agreement, the third party seller agreed to purchase or substitute performing consumer loans for all contracts that become 120 days past due. Pursuant to the ongoing loan purchase agreement, a Board of Director determinant was originally established to limit the purchase of these consumer loans under this arrangement to a maximum of $40,000 and a restricted reserve account was established at 3% of the outstanding consumer loan balances purchased up to a maximum of $1,000, with such percentage amount of the loans being deposited into a segregated reserve account. The funds in the reserve account are to be released to compensate the Bank for any purchased loans that are not purchased back by the seller or substituted with performing loans and are ultimately charged off by the Bank. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Board of Directors increased the limit of these purchased consumer loans to a maximum of $50,000. As of March 31, 2015, the balance of the consumer loans purchased was $36,109. The balance in the cash reserve account has reached the maximum allowed balance of $1,000, which is included in Deposits on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. To date, none of the purchased loans have been charged off or experienced losses.

Loans receivable by loan type as of the end of the periods shown below were as follows:

At March 31, 2015, the Company has identified $4,752 of TDR loans and $1,610 of substandard loans as impaired, totaling $6,362, which includes $4,614 of performing TDR loans. A loan is identified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Performing TDRs consist of loans that have been modified and are performing in accordance with the modified terms for a sufficient length of time, generally six months, or loans that were modified on a proactive basis. A summary of the Company’s impaired loans as of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was as follows:

Troubled Debt Restructuring – A TDR includes a loan modification where a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Bank grants a concession to that borrower that the Bank would not otherwise consider except for the borrower’s financial difficulties. Concessions include an extension of loan terms, renewals of existing balloon loans, reductions in interest rates and consolidating existing Bank loans at modified terms. A TDR may be either on accrual or nonaccrual status based upon the performance of the borrower and management’s assessment of collectability. If a TDR is placed on nonaccrual status, it remains there until a sufficient period of performance under the restructured terms has occurred at which time it is returned to accrual status. There were 3 delinquent TDRs greater than 60 days past due with a recorded investment of $252 at March 31, 2015, compared to 4 such loans with a recorded investment of $191 at September 30, 2014. A summary of loans by loan type modified in a troubled debt restructuring as of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, and during each of the six months then ended, and as of September 30, 2014 and during the twelve months then ended was as follows:

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The statement describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1- Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2- Significant other 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- Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input within the valuation hierarchy that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The fair value of securities available for sale is determined by obtaining market price quotes from independent third parties wherever such quotes are available (Level 1 inputs); or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). Where such quotes are not available, the Company utilizes independent third party valuation analysis to support the Company’s estimates and judgments in determining fair value (Level 3 inputs).

Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis

Level 3 assets measured on a recurring basis are certain investments for which little or no market activity exists or whose value of the underlying collateral is not market observable. Management’s valuation uses both observable as well as unobservable inputs to assist in the Level 3 valuation of mortgage backed securities held by the Bank, employing a methodology that considers future cash flows along with risk-adjusted returns. The inputs in this methodology are as follows: ability and intent to hold to maturity, mortgage underwriting rates, market prices/conditions, loan type, loan-to-value ratio, strength of borrower, loan age, delinquencies, prepayment/cash flows, liquidity, expected future cash flows, rating agency actions, and a discount rate, which is assumed to be approximately equal to the coupon rate for each security. As of March 31, 2015, the Company held no Level 3 securities measured on a recurring basis. The following tables present the financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014:

	Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Instruments (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Loans restructured in a TDR	5,581		—		—		5,581
Total	$	6,631	$	—	$	—	$	6,631

The fair value of TDRs was determined by obtaining independent third party appraisals and/or internally developed collateral valuations to support the Company’s estimates and judgments in determining the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting TDRs.

The fair value of foreclosed and repossessed assets was determined by obtaining market price valuations from independent third parties wherever such valuations were available. Where such valuations were not available, the Company utilized independent third party appraisals to support the Company’s estimates and judgments in determining fair value for such assets.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

ASC 825-10 and ASC 270-10, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value Financial Instruments, require disclosures about fair value financial instruments and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value. The estimated fair values of financial instruments not previously disclosed are determined as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents are considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Other Interest-Bearing Deposits

Fair value of interest bearing deposits is estimated based on their carrying amounts.

Non-marketable Equity Securities, at cost

Non-marketable equity securities are comprised of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock carried at cost, which are their redeemable fair values since the market for each category of this stock is restricted.

Loans Receivable, net

Fair value is estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as real estate, commercial and consumer. The fair value of loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity date using market discount rates reflecting the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. The estimate of maturity is based on the Bank’s repayment schedules for each loan classification.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable are considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Deposits

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as demand deposits, savings accounts, and money market accounts, is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed rate certificate accounts is calculated by using discounted cash flows applying interest rates currently being offered on similar certificates.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

The fair value of long-term borrowed funds is estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Bank’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowing arrangements. The carrying value of short-term borrowed funds approximates its fair value.

Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments

The fair value of off-balance sheet commitments would be estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the current interest rates, and the present creditworthiness of the customers. Since this amount is immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, no amount for fair value is presented.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments as of the dates indicated below were as follows:

	March 31, 2015				September 30, 2014
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The following is a summary of the significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively:

	March 31, 2015			September 30, 2014

Net deferred tax assets	$	3,374		$	3,634

The Company regularly reviews the carrying amount of its deferred tax assets to determine if the establishment of a valuation allowance is necessary, as further discussed in Note 1 “Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” above. At March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively, management determined that no valuation allowance was necessary.

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to review and examination by federal, state and local government authorities. As of March 31, 2015, years open to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service include taxable years ended September 30, 2011 to present. The years open to examination by state and local government authorities varies by jurisdiction.

The tax effects from uncertain tax positions can be recognized in the consolidated financial statements, provided the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company applied the foregoing accounting standard to all of its tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open as of the date of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax issues as components of other noninterest expense. During the six month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties related to income tax issues in its consolidated statements of operations. The Company had no recorded accrual or liability for the payment of interest and penalties related to income tax issues as of March 31, 2015 or September 30, 2014 respectively.

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. As part of such monitoring, the credit quality of individual securities and their issuers are assessed. Significant inputs used to measure the amount of other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss include, but are not limited to, default and delinquency rates of the underlying collateral, remaining credit support, and historical loss severities. Adjustments to market value of available for sale securities that are considered temporary are recorded as separate components of equity, net of tax. If the unrealized loss of a security is identified as other-than-temporary based on information available, such as the decline in the credit worthiness of the issuer, external market ratings, or the anticipated or realized elimination of associated dividends, such impairments are further analyzed to determine if credit loss exists. If there is a credit loss, it will be recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. Unrealized losses on available for sale securities, other than credit, will continue to be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Unrealized losses reflected in the preceding tables have not been included in results of operations because the unrealized loss was not deemed other-than-temporary. Management has determined that more likely than not, the Company neither intends to sell, nor will it be required to sell each debt security before its anticipated recovery.

A summary of the amount of other-than-temporary impairment related to credit losses on available for sale securities that have been recognized in earnings follows:

	Six months ended March 31, 2015		Six months ended March 31, 2014

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In February 2005, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2004 Recognition and Retention Plan. This plan provides for the grant of up to 113,910 shares of the Company’s common stock to eligible participants under this plan. As of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, 113,910 restricted shares under this plan were issued for both periods and 99,043 and 101,879 restricted shares under this plan were outstanding, respectively. Restricted shares previously granted were awarded at no cost to the employee and have a five-year vesting period from the grant date. The fair value of these previously granted restricted shares on the date of award was $7.04 per share for 63,783 shares, $6.18 for 6,832 shares, $5.24 for 20,312 shares, $5.65 for 2,500 shares and $5.84 for 20,483 shares. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, no shares were granted to eligible participants under this plan.

There were no previously awarded shares of the Company's common stock under the 2004 Recognition and Retention Plan that were forfeited in either of the six month periods ending March 31, 2015 or 2014, respectively. There were 2,054 shares of the Company's common stock surrendered under this plan during the six month period ending March 31, 2014 and 3,157 shares of the Company's common stock surrendered during the six month period ending March 31, 2015, in each case to satisfy the withholding taxes due upon the vesting of certain previously awarded shares. Through March 31, 2015, since the plan's inception, 77,124 shares of the Company's stock were vested and outstanding, 21,919 shares were unvested and outstanding, 9,338 shares were forfeited and 5,529 shares were surrendered.

In February 2005, the Company’s stockholders also approved the Company’s 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. This plan provides for the grant of nonqualified and incentive stock options and stock appreciation rights to eligible participants under the plan. The plan provides for the grant of awards for up to 284,778 shares of the Company’s common stock. At March 31, 2015, 284,778 options had been granted under this plan to eligible participants at a weighted-average exercise price of $6.57 per share. Options granted vest over a five-year period from the grant date. Unexercised, nonqualified stock options expire within 15 years of the grant date and unexercised incentive stock options expire within 10 years of the grant date. Through March 31, 2015, since the plan’s inception, options for 44,476 shares of the Company’s common stock were vested, options for 40,261 shares were unvested, options for 143,528 shares were forfeited and options for 56,513 shares were exercised. Of the 284,778 options granted, 84,737 remained outstanding as of March 31, 2015.

In February 2008, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. The aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan is 597,605 shares. Under this Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant stock options and stock appreciation rights that, upon exercise, result in the issuance of 426,860 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Committee may also grant shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units for an aggregate of 170,745 shares of Company common stock under this plan. As of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, 32,500 and 15,000 restricted shares under the 2008 Equity Incentive plan were issued, respectively. As of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, 31,403 and 15,000 restricted shares under the 2008 Equity Incentive plan were outstanding, respectively. Restricted shares granted were awarded at no cost to the employee and have a five-year vesting period from the grant date. The fair value of these previously granted restricted shares on the date of award was $8.00 for 15,000 shares and $9.20 for 17,500 shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, 17,500 and 15,000 shares, respectively, were granted to eligible participants under this plan. Through March 31, 2015, since the plan's inception, 1,903 shares of the Company's stock were vested and outstanding, 29,500 shares were unvested and outstanding, 0 shares were forfeited and 1,097 shares were surrendered.

Compensation expense related to restricted stock awards from both the 2004 Recognition and Retention Plan and the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan was $26 and $44 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015, respectively. Compensation expense related to restricted stock awards from both the 2004 Recognition and Retention Plan and the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan was $12 and $30 for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, 95,000 and 45,000 common stock options under the 2008 Equity Incentive plan were issued, respectively. At March 31, 2015, 95,000 options had been granted under this plan to eligible participants at a weighted-average exercise price of $8.63 per share. Options granted vest over a five-year period from the grant date. Unexercised, nonqualified stock options expire within 15 years of the grant date and unexercised incentive stock options expire within 10 years of the grant date. There were 50,000 and 45,000 common stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Through March 31, 2015, since the plan's inception, options for 8,500 shares of the Company's common stock were vested, options for 84,000 shares were unvested, options for 2,500 shares were forfeited and options for 0 shares were exercised. Of the 95,000 options granted, 92,500 remained outstanding as of March 31, 2015.

The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation related to the Company’s 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan using the fair-value-based method. Accordingly, management records compensation expense based on the value of the award as measured on the grant date and then the Company recognizes that cost over the vesting period for the award. The compensation cost recognized for stock-based employee compensation related to both plans for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015, was $16 and $28, respectively. The compensation cost recognized for stock-based employee compensation related to both plans for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014, was $12 and $20.

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Citizens Community Federal N.A. (the "Bank"), and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Citizens Community Bancorp was a successor to Citizens Community Federal as a result of a regulatory restructuring into the mutual holding company form, which was effective on March 29, 2004. Originally, Citizens Community Federal was a credit union. In December 2001, Citizens Community Federal converted to a federal mutual savings bank. In 2004, Citizens Community Federal reorganized into the mutual holding company form of organization. In 2006, Citizens Community Bancorp completed its second-step mutual to stock conversion.

On April 16, 2014, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"), the primary federal regulator for

Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. and Citizens Community Federal, provided written notice to the Bank of the OCC's approval for the Bank to convert to a national banking association (a "National Bank") and operate under the title of Citizens Community Federal National Association ("Citizens Community Federal N.A."). The consummation of the conversion to a National Bank was effective as of May 31, 2014.

On April 18, 2014, Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. received written notice from the Federal Reserve Bank of

Minneapolis (the "FRB") notifying the Company of the FRB's approval of the Company becoming a bank holding company as

a result of the proposed conversion of the Bank from a federally-chartered savings bank to a National Bank, which approval

was also effective as of May 31, 2014.

The consolidated income of the Company is principally derived from the income of the Bank, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. The Bank originates residential, commercial, agricultural, consumer and commercial and industrial (C&I) loans and accepts deposits from customers, primarily in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. The Bank operates 20 full-service offices, eight stand-alone locations and 12 branches predominantly located inside Walmart Supercenters.

The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions and non-financial institutions providing financial products. Additionally, the Bank is subject to the regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergoes periodic examination by those regulatory agencies.

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, we evaluated the events and transactions that occurred through May 11, 2015, the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued. As of May 11, 2015, there were no subsequent events which required recognition or disclosure.

The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Unless otherwise stated, and except for shares and per share amounts, all amounts are in thousands.

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens Community Federal N.A. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates – Preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other items, fair value of financial instruments, the allowance for loan losses, valuation of acquired intangible assets, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets, deferred tax assets, uncertain income tax positions and contingencies. Management does not anticipate any material changes to estimates made herein in the near term. Factors that may cause sensitivity to the aforementioned estimates include but are not limited to external market factors such as market interest rates and unemployment rates, changes to operating policies and procedures, and changes in applicable banking regulations. Actual results may ultimately differ from estimates, although management does not generally believe such differences would materially affect the consolidated financial statements in any individual reporting period.

Investment Securities; Held to Maturity and Available for Sale – Management determines the appropriate classification of investment securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of the date of each statement of financial position. Securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held to maturity securities are stated at amortized cost. Investment securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as available for sale. Available for sale securities are stated at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses deemed other than temporarily impaired due to non-credit issues being reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Unrealized losses deemed other-than-temporary due to credit issues are reported in the Company’s earnings in the period in which the losses arise. Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or accretion of purchase discount. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the estimated lives of the underlying securities.

In estimating other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI), management considers: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. The difference between the present values of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis is the credit loss. The credit loss is the portion of OTTI that is recognized in operations and is a reduction to the cost basis of the security. The portion of other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors is included in other comprehensive income (loss), net of the related tax effect.

Loans – Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, and net of deferred loan fees and costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the interest method without anticipating prepayments.

Interest income on commercial, mortgage and consumer loans is discontinued according to the following schedules:

•Commercial loans, including Agricultural and C&I loans, past due 90 days or more;

•Closed end consumer loans past due 120 days or more; and

•Real estate loans and open ended consumer loans past due 180 days or more.

Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not received for a loan placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost recovery method until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when payments are made that bring the loan account current with the contractual term of the loan and a 6 month payment history has been established. Interest on impaired loans considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) or substandard, less than 90 days delinquent, is recognized as income as it accrues based on the revised terms of the loan over an established period of continued payment. Substandard loans, as defined by the OCC, our primary banking regulator, are loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.

Real estate loans and open ended consumer loans are charged off to estimated net realizable value less estimated selling costs at the earlier of when (a) the loan is deemed by management to be uncollectible, or (b) the loan becomes past due 180 days or more. Closed end consumer loans are charged off to net realizable value at the earlier of when (a) the loan is deemed by management to be uncollectible, or (b) the loan becomes past due 120 days or more. Commercial loans, including Agricultural and C&I loans, are charged off to net realizable value at the earlier of when (a) the loan is deemed by management to be uncollectible, or (b) the loan becomes past due 90 days or more.

Allowance for Loan Losses – The allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is a valuation allowance for probable and inherent credit losses in our loan portfolio. Loan losses are charged against the ALL when management believes that the collectability of a loan balance is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ALL. Management estimates the required ALL balance taking into account the following factors: past loan loss experience; the nature, volume and composition of our loan portfolio; known and inherent risks in our loan portfolio; information about specific borrowers’ ability to repay; estimated collateral values; current economic conditions; and other relevant factors determined by management. The ALL consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for certain qualitative factors. The entire ALL balance is available for any loan that, in our management’s judgment, should be charged off.

A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impaired loans consist of all TDRs, as well as individual substandard loans not considered a TDR, when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. All TDRs are individually evaluated for impairment. See Note 3, “Loans, Allowance for Loan Losses and Impaired Loans” for more information on what we consider to be a TDR. If a TDR or substandard loan is deemed to be impaired, a specific ALL allocation is established so that the loan is reported, net, at either (a) the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate; or (b) at the fair value of any collateral, less estimated disposal costs, if repayment is expected solely from the underlying collateral of the loan. For TDRs less than 90+ days past due, and certain substandard loans that are less than 90+ days delinquent, the likelihood of the loan migrating to over 90 days past due is also taken into account when determining the specific ALL allocation for these particular loans. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as non-TDR commercial, consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.

Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets, net – Assets acquired through foreclosure or repossession are initially recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell, which establishes a new cost basis. If the fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure or repossession, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs incurred after acquisition are expensed and are included in non-interest expense, other on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this guidance, deferred taxes 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that will apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. See Note 6, "Income Taxes" for details on the Company’s income taxes.

The Company regularly reviews the carrying amount of its net deferred tax assets to determine if the establishment of a valuation allowance is necessary. If based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company’s net deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods, a deferred tax valuation allowance would be established. Consideration is given to various positive and negative factors that could affect the realization of the deferred tax assets. In evaluating this available evidence, management considers, among other things, historical performance, expectations of future earnings, the ability to carry back losses to recoup taxes previously paid, the length of statutory carryforward periods, any experience with utilization of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring, tax planning strategies and timing of reversals of temporary differences. Significant judgment is required in assessing future earnings trends and the timing of reversals of temporary differences. Accordingly, the Company’s evaluation is based on current tax laws as well as management’s expectations of future performance.

Earnings Per Share – Basic earnings per common share is net income or loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable during the period, consisting of stock options outstanding under the Company’s stock incentive plans that have an exercise price that is less than the Company's stock price on the reporting date.

Reclassifications – Certain items previously reported were reclassified for consistency with the current presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In August, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-14; "Receivables; Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure". ASU 2014-14 is intended to improve accounting and disclosure consistency related to how creditors classify government-guaranteed mortgage loans, including FHA or VA guaranteed loans, upon foreclosure. For public entities, ASU 2014-09 is effective on a prospective basis for the annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2014-14 to have no material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In May, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09; "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 is intended to clarify and simplify revenue recognition principles, develop a common revenue standard across industries and accounting frameworks, and improve the usefulness and consistency of revenue reporting. For public entities, ASU 2014-09 is effective on a retrospective basis for the annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have no material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In January, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04; "Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)". ASU 2014-04 is intended to improve consistency among reporting entities by clarifying when an in substance foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should derecognize a loan and recognize the corresponding real estate collateral as a separate asset. For public entities, ASU 2014-04 is effective for the annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2014-04 to have no material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
