PART I

Item 1. Business

In the Annual Report on Form 10-K, the terms “we”, “our” and “us” refer to Fairmount Bancorp, Inc., unless the context indicates another meaning.

Fairmount Bancorp, Inc.

Fairmount Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated on November 30, 2009, to serve as the holding company for Fairmount Bank (the “Bank”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On June 2, 2010, in accordance with a Plan of Conversion adopted by its Board of Directors and approved by its members, the Bank converted from a federal mutual savings bank to a Maryland chartered commercial bank and became the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The conversion was accomplished through the sale and issuance of 444,038 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, through which the Company received proceeds of approximately $3,742,000, net of offering expenses of approximately $699,000. In connection with the conversion, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted an employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”) which subscribed for 8% of the sum of the number of shares, or 35,523 shares of common stock sold in the offering. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On October 12, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Fullerton Federal Savings Association, or Fullerton, in a conversion merger transaction. In connection with the acquisition and pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Conversion Merger and the related Plan of Conversion Merger, the Company issued and sold approximately $793,500 of its common stock, or 56,276 shares at a purchase price of $14.10 per share. The shares were sold in a subscription offering to depositors of Fullerton and to our Employee Stock Ownership Plan and in a community offering to our Recognition and Retention Plan and to the general public. The amount of common stock offered for sale

4

was based on an independent valuation of Fullerton. As a result of the conversion merger, Fullerton merged with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving institution. For additional information, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company’s principal business activity is the ownership of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Bank. The Company does not own or lease any property but instead uses the premises, equipment and other property of the Bank, with the payment of appropriate rental fees, as required by applicable laws and regulations, under the terms of an expense allocation agreement.

General

The Bank’s principal business consists primarily of attracting and accepting retail deposits from the general public in the areas surrounding its office and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations, in primarily one-to four-family residential mortgage loans. We also invest in various investment securities. Our profitability depends primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between the income the we receive on our loans and other assets and our cost of funds, which consists of the interest we pay on deposits and borrowings.

Our executive offices are located at 8216 Philadelphia Road, Baltimore, Maryland 21237. Our telephone number is (410) 866-4500.

Market Area

We primarily serve communities located in Baltimore City and in Baltimore and Harford counties in Maryland from our office in Baltimore County, which is contiguous to Baltimore City, the largest city in Maryland, and located near the District of Columbia. The economy of the greater Baltimore metropolitan area constitutes a diverse cross section of employment sectors, with a mix of services, manufacturing, wholesale/retail trade, federal and local government, health care facilities and finance related employment. The largest employers in the Baltimore metropolitan area include the University System of Maryland, Johns Hopkins University, Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System, U.S. Social Security Administration, Fort Meade, and Aberdeen Proving Ground.

5

Competition

We face significant competition in both originating loans and attracting deposits. Our market area has a large number of financial institutions, most of which are significantly larger institutions with greater financial resources than us, and all of which are competitors to varying degrees. Competition for loans comes principally from commercial banks, savings banks, mortgage banking companies, credit unions, insurance companies and other financial service companies. Our most direct competition for deposits has historically come from commercial banks, savings banks and credit unions. We face additional competition for deposits from non-depository competitors such as mutual funds, securities and brokerage firms and insurance companies.

Lending Activities

General. Our principal lending activity is the origination of fixed-rate, one-to four-family owner occupied residential mortgage loans with terms of up to 30 years and one-to four-family non-owner occupied investor mortgage loans with terms of up to 25 years, subject to a balloon payment at 7 or 10 years. At September 30, 2013, one-to four-family owner occupied loans totaled $26,364,000, or 46.93%, of our total loan portfolio. At September 30, 2013 one-to four-family non-owner occupied loans totaled $17,481,000, or 31.11%, of our total loan portfolio.

To a lesser extent, we also originate home equity and second mortgage loans, loans secured by other properties, construction and land development loans, secured commercial loans and savings loans. At September 30, 2013, home equity loans secured by second mortgages and home equity lines of credit secured by second mortgages totaled $2,244,000, or 3.99%, of our total loan portfolio. At September 30, 2013, loans secured by other properties totaled $2,784,000, or 4.96%, of our total loan portfolio. At September 30, 2013, construction and land development loans totaled $3,911,000, or 6.96%, of our total loan portfolio. At September 30, 2013, other loans totaled $1,612,000, or 2.87%, of our total loan portfolio. We no longer originate loans secured by mobile homes. The remaining balance on our mobile home loan portfolio totaled $1,786,000, or 3.18%, of our total loan portfolio.

We do not offer “interest only” loans, where the borrower pays interest for an initial period after which the loan converts to a fully amortizing loan, nor do we offer “Option ARM” or negative amortization loans, where the borrower can pay less than the interest owed on the loan, resulting in an increased principal balance during the life of the loan. We do not make loans that are known as “sub-prime” or “Alt-A” loans.

One-to Four-Family Owner Occupied Loans. A significant portion of our primary lending activity consists of the origination of first mortgage loans secured by one-to four-family owner occupied residential properties located in our market area. Loans are generated through our existing customers and referrals, real estate brokers and other marketing efforts. We generally limit our real estate loan originations to the financing of properties located within our market area and have not made out-of-state loans. At September 30, 2013, $26,364,000, or 46.93%, of the loan portfolio, consisted of one-to four-family owner-occupied residential mortgage loans.

Our residential mortgage loans generally have terms of 15, 20 or 30 years. Currently, we offer only fixed-rate residential loans however, may consider implementing a program to originate adjustable-rate mortgages. All of the owner occupied loans we originate are retained in our portfolio for long-term investment. Generally, we have not sold these loans in the secondary mortgage market. However, our loans are underwritten to secondary mortgage market standards. Fixed-rate mortgage loans amortize monthly with principal and interest due each month. Residential real estate loans often remain outstanding for significantly shorter periods than their contractual terms because borrowers may refinance or prepay loans at their option.

Under our real estate lending policy, a title insurance policy must be obtained for each real estate loan. We also require fire and extended coverage casualty insurance, in order to protect the properties securing our real estate loans. Borrowers must also obtain flood insurance policies when the property is in a flood hazard area. We require borrowers either to advance funds to an escrow account for the payment of real estate taxes and hazard insurance premiums or alternatively to provide it with other proof of the payment of taxes and an effective hazard insurance policy. We do not conduct environmental testing on residential mortgage loans unless specific concerns for hazards are identified by the appraiser used in connection with the origination of the loan.

Our residential mortgage loans customarily include due-on-sale clauses, which are provisions giving it the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, that the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the underlying real property serving as security for the loan.

We generally limit the maximum loan to value ratio to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or the purchase price of the property securing the loan, although we will occasionally originate loans with a loan to value ratio up to 90% of the appraised value or purchase price of the property. Any loan in excess of an 80% loan-to-value requires adequate private mortgage insurance.

When underwriting residential real estate loans, we review and verify each loan applicant’s employment, income and credit history and, if applicable, our experience with the borrower. Our policy is to obtain credit reports and financial statements on all borrowers and guarantors, and to verify references. Properties securing real estate loans are appraised by board-approved independent appraisers, although we may rely on county tax records on smaller loans. Appraisals are subsequently reviewed by the loan underwriting committee.

In the recent economic climate, many areas of the United States have experienced an increase in foreclosures. Management believes that foreclosures in our market area have also increased, but not to the same extent as in more severely impacted areas of the United States.

One-to Four-Family Non-Owner Occupied Loans. A portion of our lending activity consists of the origination of first mortgage loans secured by one-to four-family non-owner occupied residential properties in our market area. These loans are generated through our existing customer base and referrals, real estate brokers, real estate investors and other marketing efforts. At September 30, 2013, $17,481,000, or 31.11%, of the total loan portfolio, consisted of this type of mortgage loan.

Most loans originated in this program have payment periods of 25 years, subject to a balloon payment at 7 or 10 years. We require that the properties be occupied at the time the loan is made and require a minimum debt coverage ratio of 1.25 times. The maximum loan-to-value generally is 75%, and a majority of current loan originations are sold on a participation basis to other community banks. A majority of the properties are occupied by tenants receiving government vouchers that subsidize the rent payments. The subsidy represents a majority of the rent payment and is paid to the owner of the property who is responsible for the mortgage payment. While we plan to continue originating these loans, our planned growth is limited.

A title insurance policy must be obtained for each loan, and we require fire and extended coverage casualty insurance. We do not require environmental testing unless specific concerns for hazards are identified by the appraiser.

Home Equity Second Mortgage Loans. Our home equity loans and our home equity lines of credit are secured by second mortgages on owner occupied one-to four-family residences. The maximum loan-to-value of these loans generally is 85%. At September 30, 2013, home equity loans and home equity lines of credit secured by second mortgages totaled $2,244,000, or 3.99%, of total loans. Home equity loans consist of fixed-rate loans with terms up to a maximum of 20 years. At September 30, 2013, home equity loans totaled $326,000. Home equity lines of credit are adjustable monthly and tied to the prime rate. At September 30, 2013, home equity lines of credit totaled $1,918,000.

A home equity loan and a home equity line of credit can be used for a variety of purposes. The underwriting standards for the second mortgage include a title review, the recordation of a junior lien, a determination of the applicant’s ability to satisfy existing debt obligations and payments on the proposed loan, and the value of the collateral securing the loan.

Loans secured by second mortgages have greater risk than owner-occupied residential loans secured by first mortgages. When customers default on their loans, we attempt to foreclose on the property. However, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to compensate for the amount of the unpaid loan, and we may be unsuccessful in recovering the remaining balance from these customers. In addition, decreases in property values could adversely affect the value of properties used as collateral for the loans.

Mobile Home Loans. As of September 30, 2013, mobile home loans totaled $1,786,000, or 3.18%, of the total loan portfolio. We ceased originating mobile home loans in September 2007, and no future originations of these types of loans are planned. Our mobile home loans were purchased from a third-party originator and funded by us at settlement. We paid a premium/loan origination fee to the third party originator, of which one-half was wired upon settlement and the remainder was retained by us in a depository account as a reserve for any losses or prepayments. At September 30, 2013, we had prepaid loan origination fees related to this program of $211,000, and we had depleted the balance in the reserve account. Any losses that may be incurred moving forward relating to the mobile home portfolio will be charged against the allowance for loan losses.

For us to have financed a mobile home loan, the mobile home must have been based on a permanent foundation. Mobile home lending involves additional risks as a result of higher loan-to-value ratios usually associated with these types of loans. The most frequent purchasers of mobile homes are retirees and younger, first-time buyers. These borrowers may be deemed to be relatively high credit risks due to various factors, including, among other things, the manner in which they have handled previous credit, the absence or limited extent of their prior credit history or limited financial resources. Mobile home loan customers have historically been more adversely impacted by weak economic conditions, loss of employment and increases in other household costs. Consequently, mobile home loans bear a higher rate of interest, have a higher probability of default and may involve higher delinquency rates and greater servicing costs relative to loans to more creditworthy borrowers. In addition, the values of mobile homes decline over time and higher levels of inventories of repossessed and used mobile homes may affect the values of collateral and result in higher charge-offs and provisions for loan losses.

10

Commercial Real Estate Lending Secured by Other Properties. Although our loan policies permit the origination of loans secured by commercial real estate, including multi-family dwellings, during recent years our loan portfolio has not included a significant amount of these loans. The current portfolio of these loans at September 30, 2013, totaled $2,784,000, or 4.96%, of total loans. The current loan-to-value of these loans generally does not exceed 80%. We intend to increase our origination of commercial real estate loans when market conditions improve and expect that such loans will represent a more significant portion of our loan portfolio in the future. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Business Strategy.”

Loans secured by commercial real estate generally have larger loan balances and more credit risk than one-to four-family mortgage loans. The increased credit risk is a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the impact of local and general economic conditions on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. If the cash flows from the property are reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. However, commercial real estate loans generally have higher interest rates than loans secured by one- to four-family real estate.

Construction and Land Development Loans. On a limited basis, we originate residential construction loans to individuals for the construction and permanent financing of their personal residences. Construction loans to individuals are made on the same general terms as our one-to four-family mortgage loans, but provide for the payment of interest only during the construction phase, which is usually six months. At the end of the construction phase, the loan converts to a permanent mortgage loan. Prior to making a commitment to fund a construction loan, we require an appraisal of the property by an independent appraiser. We also review and inspect each project prior to disbursement of funds during the term of the construction loan. Loan proceeds are disbursed after inspection of the project based on percentage of completion.

At September 30, 2013, the balance of these loans was $3,911,000, or 6.96%, of our total loans. When market conditions improve, we anticipate an expansion of our construction and land development loan activity. We limit speculative construction activity, as well as the speculative purchase of building lots. The maximum loan-to-value of these originations generally is 75%, and all these loans include personal guarantees.

Construction financing generally involves greater credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to advance additional funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Moreover, if the estimated value of the completed project proves to be inaccurate, the borrower may hold a property with a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment. Construction loans also expose us to the risks that improvements will not be completed on time in accordance with specifications and projected costs and that repayment will depend on the successful operation or sale of the properties. In addition, many of these borrowers have more than one outstanding loan, so an adverse development with respect to one loan or credit relationship can expose us to significantly greater risk of non-payment and loss.

Other Loans. Commercial business loans are made to borrowers that demonstrate the ability to repay the debt through corporate cash flows. A majority of our commercial business loans are secured by assignments of corporate assets and include personal guarantees of the business owners. At September 30, 2013, commercial business loans totaled $1,603,000, or 2.85%, of total loans.

Underwriting standards for commercial business loans include a review of the applicant’s tax returns, financial statements, credit history and an assessment of the applicant’s ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan based on cash flows generated by the applicant’s business.

Commercial business loans generally have higher interest rates and shorter terms than one-to four-family residential loans, but they also may involve higher average balances, increased difficulty of loan monitoring and a higher risk of default since their repayment generally depends on the successful operation of the borrower’s business. We typically require a principal of the company obtaining a commercial business loan to personally sign the note as a co-borrower or guarantor.

Currently, the only consumer loans we offer consist of deposit account loans. At September 30, 2013, these loans totaled $9,000, or 0.02%, of total loans. Generally, these loans are made at an interest rate that is 2.00% above the account rate for up to 80% of the account balance and for a term through the next maturity date.

Loan Originations, Purchases and Sales. Loan originations are obtained through a variety of sources, including referrals from existing customers and real estate brokers. We hold the majority of our loan originations other than one-to four-family non-owner occupied loans for long-term investment. Currently, the majority of one-to four-family non-owner occupied originations are sold on a participation basis to other community banks. However, there can be no assurance that these community banks will continue to participate in the originations of our non-owner occupied loans.

The following table shows loan origination, sale and principal repayment activity during the periods indicated.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. Our lending activities are subject to written, non-discriminatory underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by our board of directors. The loan approval process is intended to assess the borrower’s ability to repay the loan and value of the property that will secure the loan. To assess the borrower’s ability to repay, we review the borrower’s employment and credit history and information on the historical and projected income and expenses of the borrower.

Our policies and loan approval limits are established by the board of directors. Upon receipt of a loan application from a prospective borrower, a credit report, tax returns and verifications are ordered or requested to confirm specific information relating to the loan applicant’s employment, income and credit standing. We require appraisals by independent, licensed, third-party appraisers of all real property secured loans, except where it relies on county tax records on smaller loans. All appraisers are approved by the board of directors annually. All loans are processed at our main office. The loan underwriting committee, comprised of Messrs. Solomon (Chairman), Yanke and Lally, approves all loans originated in amounts between $200,000 and $750,000. All loans in excess of $750,000 require board approval. Mr. Solomon’s lending authority is up to $200,000.

Loans to One Borrower. Generally, a federal savings association may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be loaned, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which generally does not include real estate. As of September 30, 2013, our largest lending relationship with a single or related group of borrowers totaled $1,530,000, which represented 12.94% of the Bank’s unimpaired capital and surplus. Therefore, we were in compliance with the loans-to-one borrower limitations.

12

Asset Quality

General. When a loan is 15 days past due, we send the borrower a late notice. We also contact the borrower by phone if the delinquency is not corrected promptly after the notice has been sent. When the loan is 30 days past due, we mail the borrower a letter reminding the borrower of the delinquency, and attempt to contact the borrower personally to determine the reason for the delinquency in order to ensure that the borrower understands the terms of the loan and the importance of making payments on or before the due date. If necessary, subsequent delinquency notices are issued and the account will be monitored on a regular basis thereafter. By the 90^th day of delinquency, we will send the borrower a final demand for payment and may recommend foreclosure. Loans are charged off when we believe that the recovery of principal is improbable. A summary report of all loans 30 days or more past due is provided to the board of directors of the Bank each month.

Loans are automatically placed on non-accrual status when payment of principal or interest is more than 90 days delinquent. Loans are also placed on non-accrual status if collection of principal or interest in full is in doubt or if the loan has been restructured. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received. The loan may be returned to accrual status if unpaid principal and interest are repaid so that the loan is less than 90 days delinquent.

We account for impaired loans under generally accepted accounting principles. An impaired loan generally is one for which it is probable, based on current information, that the lender will not collect all the amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan. Loans are individually evaluated for impairment. When we classify a problem asset as impaired, we provide a specific allowance for that portion of the asset that is deemed uncollectable, based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, or based on the loan’s observable market price or fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. As of September 30, 2013 we had fifteen loan relationships with total balances of $3,152,000 that are individually evaluated for impairment.

Loans may be periodically modified in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) to make concessions to help a borrower remain current on the loan and to avoid foreclosure. Generally, we do not forgive principal or interest on a loan or modify the interest rate on loans that are below market rates. When we modify loans in a TDR, we evaluate any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans. If we determine that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized through a specific allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance. At September 30, 2013, we had one loan secured by a one-to four-family owner occupied property in the amount of $136,000 that was restructured, five loans with one borrower secured by one-to four-family non-owner occupied properties in the amount of $784,000 that were restructured, one loan secured by other properties in the amount of $213,000 that was restructured, one loan secured by construction and land development in the amount of $370,000 that was restructured and two loans secured by mobile homes in the amount of $106,000 that were restructured. All of the loans restructured were considered troubled debt restructurings. At September 30, 2012, we had one loan secured by a one-to four-family owner occupied property in the amount of $138,000 that was restructured, five loans with one borrower secured by one-to four-family non-owner occupied properties in the amount of $856,000 that were restructured, one loan secured by other properties in the amount of $216,000 that was restructured and one loan secured by a mobile home in the amount of $51,000 that was restructured. All of the loans restructured were considered troubled debt restructurings.

For the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the amount of additional interest income that would have been recognized on non-accrual loans if such loans had continued to perform in accordance with their contractual terms was $252,000 and $160,000, respectively. Interest income of $70,000 and $48,000 was recognized on these loans for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Classification of Assets. Our policies, consistent with regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans and other assets that are considered to be of lesser quality as substandard, doubtful, or loss assets. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those assets characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Assets (or portions of assets) classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. Assets that do not expose us to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve close attention, are required to be designated as special mention.

When assets are classified as either substandard or doubtful, we allocate a portion of the related general loss allowances to such assets as we deem prudent. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to absorb credit losses incurred in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the balance sheet date. When we classify a problem asset as impaired, we provide a specific reserve for that portion of the asset that is deemed uncollectible. Determinations as to the classification of assets and the amount of loss allowances are subject to review by our principal federal regulator, the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation of the State of Maryland, which can require that we establish additional loss allowances. We regularly review our asset portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. On the basis of our review of our assets at September 30, 2013, we had $3,387,000 of assets classified as substandard, of which fifteen relationships were considered impaired based on fair market value appraisals. On the basis of our review of our assets at September 30, 2013, we had $345,000 of assets classified as doubtful and this loan relationship was considered impaired.

Foreclosed Assets. Real estate and assets acquired by us as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as foreclosed assets until sold. When property is acquired it is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair market value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Estimated fair value generally represents the sale price a buyer would be willing to pay on the basis of current market conditions, including normal terms from other financial institutions, less the estimated costs to sell the property. Holding costs and declines in estimated fair market value result in charges to expense after acquisition. At September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, we had $20,000 and $296,000, respectively in foreclosed assets.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses. We maintain the allowance at a level believed, to the best of management’s knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both

15

probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. Management reviews the allowance for loan losses on no less than a quarterly basis in order to identify those inherent losses and to assess the overall collection probability for the loan portfolio. The evaluation process includes, among other things, an analysis of delinquency trends, non-performing loan trends, the level of charge-offs and recoveries, prior loss experience, total loans outstanding, the volume of loan originations, the type, size and geographic concentration of the loans, the value of collateral securing the loan, the borrower’s ability to repay and repayment performance, the number of loans requiring heightened management oversight, local economic conditions and industry experience. Such risk factors are periodically reviewed by management and revised as deemed appropriate. The establishment of the allowance for loan losses is significantly affected by management’s judgment and uncertainties, and there is a likelihood that different amounts would be reported under different conditions or assumptions. The Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation of the State of Maryland, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews the allowance for loan losses and may require us to make additional provisions for estimated loan losses based upon judgments different from those of management.

The allowance generally consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard or special mention. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

We will continue to monitor and modify our allowances for loan losses as conditions dictate. No assurances can be given that the level of allowance for loan losses will cover all of the inherent losses on the loans or that future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses will not be necessary if economic and other conditions differ substantially from the economic and other conditions used by management to determine the current level of the allowance for loan losses.

Investment Activities

General. We are permitted under federal law to invest in various types of liquid assets, including United States Government obligations, securities of various federal agencies and of state and municipal governments, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations issued and guaranteed by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae, deposits at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, certificates of deposit of federally insured institutions, certain bankers’ acceptances and federal funds. Within certain regulatory limits, we may also invest a portion of our assets in commercial paper and corporate debt securities. We are also required to maintain an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock.

Our investment objectives are to maintain high asset quality, to provide and maintain liquidity, to establish an acceptable level of interest rate and credit risk, to provide an alternate source of low-risk investments when demand for loans is weak and to generate a favorable return. The board of directors has the overall responsibility for the investment portfolio, including approval of our investment policy. The board of directors is also responsible for implementation of the investment policy and monitoring investment performance. The board of directors reviews the status of the investment portfolio on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if warranted.

The current investment policy authorizes us to invest in debt securities issued by the United States Government, agencies of the United States Government or United States Government-sponsored enterprises. The policy also permits investments in mortgage-backed securities, including pass-through securities, issued and guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. The investment policy also permits investments in federal funds and deposits in other insured institutions. In addition, management is authorized to invest in investment grade state and municipal

18

obligations, commercial paper and corporate debt obligations within regulatory parameters. We do not engage in any hedging activities or trading activities, nor do we purchase any high-risk mortgage derivative products, corporate junk bonds, zero coupon bonds, certain types of structured notes or any other derivative products.

Generally accepted accounting principles require that, at the time of purchase, we designate a security as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading, depending on our ability and intent. Securities available for sale are reported at fair value, while securities held to maturity are reported at amortized cost. We do not maintain a trading portfolio. Establishing a trading portfolio would require specific authorization by the board of directors.

Investment Securities

At September 30, 2013, the held to maturity portfolio, which is carried at amortized cost, totaled $3,756,000, or 4.88% of total assets and the available-for-sale portfolio, which is carried at fair value, totaled $5,792,000, or 7.52% of total assets. We also held $2,142,000 in federal funds sold in other institutions, $859,000 in interest-bearing deposits at other banks, $3,784,000 in certificates of deposit in other institutions, and $454,000 in Federal Home Loan Bank Stock of Atlanta at September 30, 2013.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits traditionally have been the primary source of funds for our lending and investment activities. In addition to deposits, we derive funds primarily from principal and interest payments on loans. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows are significantly influenced by general interest rates, money market conditions and competition. Borrowings may also be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds from other sources and may be used on a longer-term basis for general business purposes.

Deposits. We generate deposits primarily from within our market area. We rely on our competitive pricing and customer service to attract and retain deposits. We offer a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms. Deposit accounts consist of savings accounts, certificates of deposit and NOW accounts.

Total deposits decreased to $55,930,000 at September 30, 2013, compared to $58,026,000 at September 30, 2012. Deposits are generated primarily from within our market area.

Interest rates, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established on a periodic basis. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current operating strategies and market interest rates, liquidity requirements, interest rates paid by competitors and deposit growth goals.

At September 30, 2013, we had a total of $34,442,000 in certificates of deposit, of which $17,426,000, or 50.60% had remaining maturities of one year or less. Based on historical experience and its current pricing strategy, management believes we will retain a large portion of these accounts upon maturity.

Borrowings. We may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta upon the security of the common stock we own in that bank and certain of our residential mortgage loans, provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. These advances are made pursuant to several credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. Federal Home Loan Bank advances are generally available to meet seasonal and other withdrawals of deposit accounts and to permit increased lending.

The following table shows certain information regarding Federal Home Loan Bank advances at or for the dates indicated:

We had $8,000,000 of Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding at September 30, 2013. Additionally, we have credit availability of $1,500,000 with a correspondent bank for short-term liquidity needs, if necessary. There were no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2013 and 2012 under this facility.

Subsidiaries

At September 30, 2013, Fairmount Bancorp, Inc., had one subsidiary, Fairmount Bank.

Personnel

As of September 30, 2013, we had ten full-time employees and two part-time employees. The employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group. Management believes that we have a good working relationship with our employees.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

General

As a bank holding company, Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. is required to file certain reports with, is subject to examination by, and otherwise must comply with the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”), as the primary regulator of Fairmount Bancorp. Fairmount Bancorp is also subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws.

23

Fairmount Bank is examined and supervised by the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation of the State of Maryland (the “Commissioner”), as the primary regulator of the Bank, and is subject to examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution may engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC’s deposit insurance funds and depositors. Under this system of federal and state regulation, financial institutions are periodically examined to ensure that they satisfy applicable standards with respect to their capital adequacy, assets, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market interest rates. Following completion of its examination, the federal agency critiques the institution’s operations and assigns its rating (known as an institution’s CAMELS rating). Under federal law, an institution may not disclose its CAMELS rating to the public. The Bank also is a member of and owns stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, which is one of the twelve regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank also is regulated to a lesser extent by the Federal Reserve, governing reserves to be maintained against deposits and other matters. The Commissioner will examine the Bank and prepare reports for the consideration of its board of directors on any operating deficiencies. The Bank’s relationship with its depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by federal law and, to a much lesser extent, state law, especially in matters concerning the ownership of deposit accounts and the form and content of the Bank’s loan documents.

Any change in these laws or regulations, whether by the FDIC, the Commissioner, the Federal Reserve or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on the Company, the Bank and their operations.

Certain of the regulatory requirements that are or will be applicable to the Bank and the Company are described below. This description of statutes and regulations is not intended to be a complete explanation of such statutes and regulations and their effects on the Bank and the Company and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual statutes and regulations.

Banking Regulation

Financial Institutions Article of the Maryland Annotated Code. The Financial Institutions Article of the Maryland Annotated Code (the “Banking Code”), contains detailed provisions governing the organization, operations, corporate powers, commercial and investment authority, branching rights and responsibilities of directors, officers and employees of Maryland banking institutions. The Banking Code delegates extensive rulemaking power and administrative discretion to the Commissioner in its supervision and regulation of state-chartered banking institutions. The Commissioner may order any banking institution to discontinue any violation of law or unsafe or unsound business practice.

Capital Requirements. Under the FDIC’s regulations, federally insured state-chartered banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System (“state non-member banks”), such as Fairmount Bank, are required to comply with minimum leverage capital requirements. The minimum leverage capital requirement for a bank is the ratio of Tier 1 (core) capital to total assets of not less than 3% if the FDIC determines that the institution is not anticipating or experiencing significant growth and has well-diversified risk, including no undue interest rate risk exposure, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, good earnings and in general is considered a strong banking organization, rated composite 1 under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System (the CAMELS rating system) established by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. For all other institutions, the minimum leverage capital ratio is not less than 4%. Tier 1 capital is the sum of common stockholders’ equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock (including any related surplus) and minority investments in certain subsidiaries, less intangible assets (except for certain servicing rights and credit card relationships) and certain other specified items.

In addition, FDIC regulations require state non-member banks to maintain certain ratios of regulatory capital to regulatory risk-weighted assets, or “risk-based capital ratios.” Risk-based capital ratios are determined by allocating assets and specified off-balance sheet items to risk-weighted categories ranging from 0% to 200%. State non-member banks must maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8%, of which at least one-half must be Tier 1 capital. Total capital consists of Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 or supplementary capital items, which include allowances for loan losses in an amount of up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, cumulative preferred stock and certain other capital instruments, and a portion of the net unrealized gain on equity securities. The includable amount of Tier 2 capital cannot exceed the amount of the institution’s Tier 1 capital.

The bank regulatory agencies appear to be more inclined to impose higher capital requirements in order to meet well capitalized standards, and future regulatory change could impose higher capital standards. The regulators may also set higher capital requirements for holding companies whose circumstances warrant it. For example, holding companies experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions are expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets.

24

As an additional means to identify problems in the financial management of depository institutions, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act requires federal bank regulatory agencies to establish certain non-capital safety and soundness standards for institutions for which they are the primary federal regulator. The standards relate generally to operations and management, asset quality, interest rate exposure and executive compensation. The agencies are authorized to take action against institutions that fail to meet such standards.

Under federal action regulations, the FDIC is authorized and, under certain circumstances, required to take various “prompt corrective actions” to resolve the problems of any state non-member bank that is not adequately capitalized. Under these regulations, a bank is considered to be (i) “well capitalized” if it has total risk-based capital of 10% or more, Tier 1 risk-based capital of 6.0% or more, Tier I leverage capital of 5% or more, and is not subject to any written capital order or directive; (ii) “adequately capitalized” if it has total risk-based capital of 8% or more, Tier I risk-based capital of 4.0% or more and Tier I leverage capital of 4% or more (3% under certain circumstances), and does not meet the definition of “well capitalized”; (iii) “undercapitalized” if it has total risk-based capital of less than 8%, Tier I risk-based capital of less than 4% or Tier I leverage capital of less than 4% (3% under certain circumstances); (iv) “significantly undercapitalized” if it has total risk-based capital of less than 6%, Tier I risk-based capital less than 3%, or Tier I leverage capital of less than 3%; and (v) “critically undercapitalized” if its ratio of tangible equity to total assets is equal to or less than 2%. Under certain circumstances, the FDIC may reclassify a well capitalized institution as adequately capitalized, and may require an adequately capitalized institution or an undercapitalized institution to comply with supervisory actions as if it were in the next lower category (except that the FDIC may not reclassify a significantly undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized). As of September 30, 2013 the Bank was “well capitalized” for this purpose and their capital exceeded all applicable requirements.

Proposed New Capital Rules. On June 12, 2012, the federal bank regulatory agencies adopted notices of proposed rulemaking in which they proposed to revise their risk-based and leverage capital requirements consistent with agreements reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in “Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems” (“Basel III”). If adopted, the new requirements would introduce new tier 1 common equity ratio requirements of 4.5% and 6.5%, net of regulatory deductions, for adequately capitalized and well-capitalized institutions, respectively, and would also establish more conservative standards for including an instrument in regulatory capital. The new requirements would also introduce a capital conservation buffer of an additional 2.5% of common equity to risk-weighted assets, raising the target minimum common equity ratio to 7%, the minimum tier 1 capital ratio to 8.5%, and the minimum total capital ratio to 10.5%. An institution’s failure to achieve these minimum levels including the capital conservation buffer would restrict the institution’s ability to make capital distributions, including dividends, and to make certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The regulatory agencies also reserve the right to require capital ratios for individual institutions that are higher than these minimums depending on the institution’s individual circumstances. The new requirements would also assign new risk weight categories for certain assets, most notably residential mortgage loans, high volatility commercial real estate loans, and past due assets. These new risk weightings may require banks and bank holding companies to maintain additional capital against assets in those categories and may introduce more volatility in their capital ratios.

If adopted in their proposed form, the requirements will be phased in over a multi-year period. The ultimate impact of the new capital and liquidity standards on our operations is currently being reviewed and will depend on a number of factors, including the final rulemaking and implementation by the bank regulatory agencies. We cannot determine the ultimate effect that the final regulations, if enacted, would have upon our earnings or financial position, although the requirements to maintain higher levels of capital or to maintain higher levels of liquid assets could adversely impact our financial results.

Liquidity. The Bank is subject to the reserve requirements imposed by the State of Maryland. A Maryland banking institution is required to have at all times a reserve equal to at least 15% of its demand deposits. The Bank is also subject to the uniform reserve requirements of Federal Reserve Board Regulation D, which applies to all depository institutions with transaction accounts or non-personal time deposits. Specifically, for 2013, amounts in transaction accounts above $12.4 million and up to $79.5 million must have reserves held against them in the ratio of three percent of the amount. Amounts above $79.5 million require reserves of $2,013,000 plus 10 percent of the amount in excess of $79.5 million. The Maryland reserve requirements may be used to satisfy the requirements of Regulation D. Fairmount Bank is in compliance with its reserve requirements.

Loans to One Borrower. With certain limited exceptions, a Maryland banking institution may lend to a single or related group of borrowers an amount equal to 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if such loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which is defined to include certain securities and bullion, but generally does not include real estate. As of September 30, 2013, the Bank was in compliance with these limitations. See “ – Lending Activities – Loans to One Borrower.”

25

Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws. Under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (“CRA”), the FDIC is required to assess the record of all financial institutions regulated by it to determine if such institutions are meeting the credit needs of the community (including low and moderate income neighborhoods) which they serve. CRA performance evaluations are based on a four-tiered rating system: Outstanding, Satisfactory, Needs to Improve and Substantial Noncompliance. CRA performance evaluations are considered in evaluating applications for such things as mergers, acquisitions and applications to open branches. Fairmount Bank has a CRA rating of “Satisfactory.” In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit lenders from discriminating in their lending practices on the basis of characteristics specified in those statutes. The failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in enforcement actions by the FDIC, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Department of Justice, and in private civil actions by borrowers.

Transactions with Related Parties. Transactions between banks and their related parties or affiliates are limited by federal regulation Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, and by Regulation W promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board. An affiliate is a company that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with an insured depository institution such as Fairmount Bank. Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. is an affiliate of Fairmount Bank. In general, loan transactions between an insured depository institution and its affiliates are subject to certain quantitative and collateral requirements. In this regard, transactions between an insured depository institution and its affiliates are limited to 10% of the institution’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus for transactions with any one affiliate and 20% of unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus for transactions in the aggregate with all affiliates. Collateral of specific types and in specified amounts ranging from 100% to 130% of the amount of the transaction must usually be provided by affiliates in order to receive loans from the savings association. In addition, federal regulations prohibit a savings association from lending to any of its affiliates that are engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and from purchasing the securities of any affiliate, other than a subsidiary. Finally, transactions with affiliates must be consistent with safe and sound banking practices, not involve low-quality assets and be on terms that are as favorable to the institution as comparable transactions with non-affiliates. Savings associations are required to maintain detailed records of all transactions with affiliates.

The Bank’s authority to extend credit to its directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders, as well as to entities controlled by such persons, is currently governed by the requirements of Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O of the Federal Reserve Board. Among other things, these provisions generally require that extensions of credit to insiders:

• be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons and that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features; and

• not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of Fairmount Bank’s capital.

In addition, extensions of credit in excess of certain limits must be approved by the Bank’s board of directors.

Standards for Safety and Soundness. Federal law requires each federal banking agency to prescribe certain standards for all insured depository institutions. These standards relate to, among other things, internal controls, information systems and audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, compensation, and other operational and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate. The federal banking agencies adopted Interagency Guidelines Prescribing Standards for Safety and Soundness to implement the safety and soundness standards required under federal law. The guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If an institution fails to meet these standards, the appropriate federal banking agency may require the institution to submit an acceptable compliance plan. Failure to implement such a plan can result in further enforcement action, including the issuance of a cease and desist order or the imposition of civil money penalties.

Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The Dodd-Frank Act permanently increased the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks, savings institutions and credit unions to $250,000 per depositor. Non-interest bearing transaction accounts have unlimited deposit insurance through December 31, 2012. Under the FDIC’s risk-based assessment

26

system, insured institutions are assigned to one of four risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other risk factors. An institution is assigned an assessment rate from 7.00 to 77.5 basis points based upon the risk category to which it is assigned.

The FDIC is authorized to set the reserve ratio for the Deposit Insurance Fund annually at between 1.15% and 1.5% of estimated insured deposits. The Dodd-Frank Act mandates that the statutory minimum reserve ratio of the Deposit Insurance Fund increase from 1.15% to 1.35% of insured deposits by September 30, 2020. Banks with assets of less than $10 billion are exempt from any additional assessments necessary to increase the reserve fund above 1.15%.

In February 2011, as required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC revised the assessment base to consist of average consolidated total assets during the assessment period minus the average tangible equity during the assessment period. In addition, the revisions eliminated the adjustment for secured borrowings and make certain other changes to the impact of unsecured borrowings and brokered deposits on an institution’s deposit insurance assessment. The rule also revised the assessment rate schedule to provide assessments ranging from 5 to 45 basis points.

Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank does not believe it is taking or is subject to any action, condition or violation that could lead to termination of the Bank’s deposit insurance.

In addition to the FDIC assessments, the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) is authorized to impose and collect, with the approval of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, assessments for anticipated payments, issuance costs and custodial fees on bonds issued by the FICO in the 1980s to recapitalize the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds issued by the FICO are due to mature in 2017 through 2019. For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the annualized FICO assessment was equal to 66 basis points for each $100 of an institution’s assets less tangible capital.

Maryland Regulatory Assessment. The Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation of the State of Maryland annually assesses state banking institutions to cover the expense of regulating banking institutions. The Bank’s asset size determines the amount of the assessment.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. Fairmount Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank System provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, we are required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with this requirement.

Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act has changed bank regulatory structure and is affecting the lending, investment, trading, and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated the Company’s former primary federal regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) and required the Bank to be regulated by the OCC, the primary federal regulator for national banks, as of July 21, 2011. The Dodd-Frank Act also authorizes the FRB to supervise and regulate all savings and loan holding companies in addition to the bank holding companies that it previously regulated. The Dodd-Frank Act also requires the FRB to set minimum capital levels for depository institution holding companies that are as stringent as those required for the insured depository subsidiaries. Additionally, the components of Tier 1 capital would be restricted to capital instruments that are currently considered to be Tier 1 capital for insured depository institutions.

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

The legislation also broadened the base for FDIC insurance assessments. Assessments are now based on an institution’s average consolidated total assets less tangible equity capital. The Dodd-Frank Act also permanently increased the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks, savings institutions and credit unions to $250 thousand per depositor. The legislation also required rules governing retention of a portion of credit risk by originators of certain securitized

27

loans, stipulated regulatory rate-setting for certain debit card interchange fees, repealed restrictions on the payment of interest on commercial demand deposits and contained a number of reforms related to mortgage originations. The Dodd-Frank Act increased stockholder influence over boards of directors by requiring companies to give stockholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation and so-called “golden parachute” payments and authorizing the SEC to promulgate rules that would allow stockholders to nominate and solicit votes for their own candidates using a company’s proxy materials. The legislation directed the FRB to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to bank holding company executives, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded or not. The Dodd-Frank Act provided for originators of certain securitized loans to retain a percentage of the risk for transferred loans, directed the FRB to regulate pricing of certain debit card interchange fees and contained a number of reforms related to mortgage origination.

Other Regulations

Interest and other charges collected or contracted by us are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. Our operations are also subject to federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:

• Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers;

• Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves;

• Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit;

• Fair Credit Reporting Act, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies;

• Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies;

• Truth in Savings Act; and

• Rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws.

Our operations also are subject to the:

• Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records;

• Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E promulgated thereunder, which govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers’ rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services;

• Check Clearing for the 21^st Century Act (also known as “Check 21”), which gives “substitute checks,” such as digital check images and copies made from that image, the same legal standing as the original paper check;

• The USA PATRIOT which require banks operating in the United States, among other things, to develop anti-money laundering compliance programs, due diligence policies and controls to ensure the detection and reporting of money laundering. These compliance programs are intended to supplement existing compliance requirements, also applicable to financial institutions, under the Bank Secrecy Act and the Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations; and

• The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which places limitations on the sharing of consumer financial information by financial institutions with unaffiliated third parties. Specifically, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires all financial institutions offering financial products or services to retail customers to provide such customers with the financial institution’s privacy policy and provide such customers the opportunity to “opt out” of the sharing of certain personal financial information with unaffiliated third parties.

28

Holding Company Regulation

General. Upon completion of the Bank’s conversion to a Maryland chartered state non-member bank, Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. was approved by the Federal Reserve as a bank holding company under the BHC Act. As such, the Company is subject to Federal Reserve regulation, examination and reporting requirements. The Company is required to file with the Federal Reserve an annual report and such additional information as the Federal Reserve may require pursuant to the BHC Act.

Acquisition of Control. Among other things, the BHC Act requires regulatory filings by a stockholder or other party that seeks to acquire direct or indirect “control” of an FDIC-insured depository institution. The determination whether an investor “controls” a depository institution is based on all of the facts and circumstances surrounding the investment. As a general matter, a party is deemed to control a depository institution or other company if the party controls 25% or more of any class of voting stock. Subject to rebuttal, a party may be presumed to control a depository institution or other company if the investor owns or controls 10% or more of any class of voting stock. Ownership by affiliated parties, or parties acting in concert, is typically aggregated for these purposes. If a party’s ownership of the Company were to exceed certain thresholds, the investor could be deemed to “control” the Company for regulatory purposes. This could subject the investor to regulatory filings or other regulatory consequences.

Permissible Activities. Pursuant to provisions of the BHC Act and regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve thereunder, the Company may only engage in or own companies that engage in activities deemed by the Federal Reserve to be so closely related to the business of banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto, and the holding company must obtain permission from the Federal Reserve prior to engaging in most new business activities. In addition, bank holding companies like the Company must be well capitalized and well managed in order to engage in the expanded financial activities permissible only for a financial holding company.

Capital. Federal banking regulators have adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies. Currently, the required minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) is 8%. At least half of the total capital is required to be Tier 1 capital, consisting principally of common stockholders’ equity, non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill. The remainder (Tier 2 capital) may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock, certain hybrid capital instruments and other debt securities, perpetual preferred stock and a limited amount of the general loan loss allowance.

In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the federal banking regulators have established minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum leverage ratio of 3% for those bank holding companies which have the highest regulatory examination ratings and are not contemplating or experiencing significant growth or expansion. All other bank holding companies are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4%.

The above risk-based and leverage ratio guidelines apply on a consolidated basis to any bank holding company with consolidated assets of $500 million or more. These guidelines also apply on a consolidated basis to any bank holding company with consolidated assets of less than $500 million if such holding company (i) is engaged in significant nonbanking activities either directly or through a nonbank subsidiary; (ii) conducts significant off-balance sheet activities; or (iii) has a material amount of debt or equity securities outstanding (other than trust preferred securities) that are registered with the SEC. As of September 30, 2013, Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. had consolidated assets of less than $500 million and did not satisfy the nonbanking, off-balance sheet, or debt requirements that would make it subject to the risk-based or leverage ratio requirements discussed above. However, under the Federal Reserve Board Policy for Small Holding Companies it must continue to serve as a source of strength for its subsidiary bank.

The Federal Reserve has issued a policy statement regarding the payment of dividends and the repurchase of shares of capital stock by bank holding companies. In general, the Federal Reserve’s policies provide that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the holding company appears consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Regulatory guidance provides for prior regulatory review of capital distributions in certain circumstances such as where the company’s net income for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid over that period, is insufficient to fully fund the dividend or the company’s overall rate of earnings retention is inconsistent with the company’s capital needs and overall financial condition. The ability of a holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary bank becomes

29

undercapitalized. The policy statement also provides for regulatory review prior to a holding company redeeming or repurchasing common or perpetual preferred stock that would result in a net reduction as of the end of a quarter in the amount of such equity instruments outstanding compared with the beginning of the quarter in which the redemption or repurchase occurred. These regulatory policies could affect the ability of the Company to pay dividends, repurchase shares of common stock or otherwise engage in capital distributions.

The Federal Reserve’s policies also require that a bank holding company serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary banks by standing ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to those banks during periods of financial stress or adversity and by maintaining the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks where necessary.

Federal Securities Laws

The Company’s common stock is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Company’s common stock held by persons who are affiliates (generally officers, directors and principal shareholders) of the Company may not be resold without registration or unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. As directed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will be required to certify that our quarterly and annual reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act have several requirements, including having these officers certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting; they have made certain disclosures to our auditors and the audit committee of the board of directors about our internal control over financial reporting; and they have included information in our quarterly and annual reports about their evaluation and whether there have been changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect internal control over financial reporting. We will be subject to further reporting and audit requirements beginning with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013 under the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We have prepared and will prepare policies, procedures and systems designed to ensure compliance with these regulations.

TAXATION

Federal Taxation

General. Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. and Fairmount Bank are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. For federal income tax purposes, Fairmount Bancorp files a consolidated federal income tax return with its wholly owned subsidiary, Fairmount Bank, on a fiscal year basis. The applicable federal income tax expense or benefit is properly allocated to each subsidiary based upon taxable income or loss calculated on a separate company basis. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize material federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. and Fairmount Bank.

Method of Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, income and expenses are reported on the accrual method of accounting and Fairmount Bancorp will file its federal income tax return using a September 30 fiscal year end.

Bad Debt Reserves. For fiscal years beginning before June 30, 1996, thrift institutions that qualified under certain definitional tests and other conditions of the Internal Revenue Code were permitted to use certain favorable provisions to calculate their deductions from taxable income for annual additions to their bad debt reserve. A reserve could be established for bad debts on qualifying real property loans, generally secured by interests in real property improved or to be improved, under the percentage of taxable income method or the experience method. The reserve for nonqualifying loans was computed using the experience method. Federal legislation enacted in 1996 repealed the reserve method of accounting for bad debts and the percentage of taxable income method for tax years beginning after 1995 and require savings institutions to recapture or take into income certain portions of their accumulated bad debt reserves.

30

Alternative Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences, referred to as “alternative minimum taxable income.” The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent alternative minimum taxable income is in excess of an exemption amount. Net operating losses can, in general, offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. At September 30, 2013, we had no minimum tax credit carry forward.

Net Operating Loss Carryovers. A financial institution may carry back net operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years. At September 30, 2013, we had a net operating loss carryforward for income tax purposes from the Fullerton acquisition in the amount of $378,000. Approximately $43,000 of the carryforward was used to offset current year income with the remainder of $335,000 being carried forward to offset potential future income.

Corporate Dividends. We may exclude from our income 100% of dividends received from Fairmount Bank as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations.

Audit of Tax Returns. Our federal income tax returns have not been audited during the last five-year period.

Maryland Taxation

Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. is subject to Maryland’s Corporation Business Tax at the rate of 8.25% on its taxable income, before net operating loss deductions and special deductions for federal income tax purposes. Fairmount Bank is required to file Maryland income tax returns. For this purpose, “taxable income” generally means federal taxable income subject to certain adjustments (including addition of interest income on state and municipal obligations).

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

(a) Market, Holder and Dividend Information. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “FMTB”. The common stock commenced trading on June 3, 2010. As of September 30, 2013, there were 484,839 shares of common stock outstanding. As of December 23, 2013, there were 484,839 shares of common stock outstanding. At that date, the Company had approximately 110 holders of record of common stock.

The Board of Directors has the authority to declare cash dividends on shares of common stock, subject to statutory and regulatory requirements. However, no decision has been made with respect to the payment of cash dividends. In determining whether and in what amount to pay a cash dividend, the Board is expected to take into account a number of factors, including capital requirements, our consolidated financial condition and results of operations, tax considerations, statutory and regulatory limitations and general economic conditions. No assurances can be given that any cash dividends will be paid or that, if paid, will not be reduced or eliminated in the future.

Dividend payments by the Company are dependent primarily on dividends it receives from Fairmount Bank, because the Company will have no source of income other than dividends from the Bank, earnings from the investment of proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock retained by the Company, and interest payments with respect to the Company’s loan to the ESOP. See “Supervision and Regulation—Banking Regulation—Capital Distributions.”

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Our results of operations depend mainly on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income we earn on our loan and investment portfolios and the interest expense we pay on our deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by provisions for loan losses and noninterest income. Our noninterest expense consists primarily of compensation and employee benefits, office occupancy and general administrative and data processing expenses.

Our results of operations are significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly with respect to changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable law, regulations or government policies may materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Historically, our business has consisted primarily of originating one-to four-family real estate loans secured by property in our market area and investing in mortgage-backed and investment securities. Typically, one-to four-family loans involve a lower degree of risk and carry a lower yield than commercial real estate, construction and consumer loans. Our loans are primarily funded by certificates of deposit and, to a lesser extent, savings accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta advances. Certificates of deposit typically have a higher interest rate than savings accounts. The combination of these factors, along with our capital level, has resulted in low interest rate spreads and returns on equity.

Critical Accounting Policies

In reviewing and understanding our financial information, you are encouraged to read and understand the significant accounting policies used in preparing our financial statements. These policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Our accounting and financial reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, the financial statements require certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions, which are believed to be reasonable, based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. Management believes that evaluation of the allowance for loan losses is the most critical accounting policy to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. This policy requires numerous estimates or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or may be subject to variations which may significantly affect our reported results and financial condition for the period or in future periods.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that represents the amount of probable and reasonably estimable known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio, based on evaluations of the collectability of loans. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the types and amount of loans in the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans, and current economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including, among others, exposure at default, the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impacted loans, value of collateral, estimated losses on our loan portfolios as well as consideration of general loss experience. All of these estimates may be susceptible to significant change.

While management uses the best information available to make loan loss allowance evaluations, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic and other conditions or changes in accounting guidance. In addition, the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation of the State of Maryland, as an integral part of its examination processes, periodically reviews the Bank’s allowance for loan losses and may require the recognition of adjustments to the allowance for loan losses based on its judgment of information available to it at the time of its examinations. To the extent that actual outcomes differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions to the allowance for loan losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.

Business Strategy

Highlights of our business strategy are as follows:

• Growing and Diversifying our Loan Portfolio. We will pursue loan portfolio diversification with an emphasis on credit risk management to increase our origination of loans that provide higher returns. These loans provide higher returns than loans secured by one-to four-family residential real estate. These loans are generally originated with rates that are fixed for seven years or less or adjust periodically, which assists us in managing our interest rate risk. We also intend to increase our origination of commercial real estate and construction loans when market conditions improve.

• Continuing to Emphasize Residential Real Estate Lending. Historically, we have emphasized one-to four-family, fixed-rate residential lending within our market area. As of September 30, 2013, $43,845,000, or 78.04%, of our total loan portfolio consisted of one-to four-family residential mortgage loans. During the year ended September 30, 2013, we originated $4,840,000 of one-to four-family residential mortgage loans and $530,000 of one-to four-family non-owner occupied loans. In addition, to a lesser extent, we originate construction/permanent loans and second mortgage loans.

• Continuing to Maintain Strong Asset Quality Through Conservative Underwriting Standards. We believe that maintaining high asset quality is a key to long-term financial success. We have sought to maintain favorable asset quality reflected primarily by a low level of nonperforming assets, low charge-offs and adequacy of loan loss reserves. We use underwriting standards that we believe are conservative, and we diligently monitor collection efforts. At September 30, 2013, $2,406,000, or 3.12% of our total assets, was nonperforming. Although we intend to diversify our lending activities into commercial real estate loans, construction loans and consumer loans, we intend to maintain our conservative approach to underwriting loans. We do not offer, and do not intend to offer, “interest only,” “Option ARM,” “sub-prime” or Alt-A” loans, nor does it hold any securities backed by these mortgages. Total net charge-offs for the year ended September 30, 2013, were $384,000, or 0.69% of average loans outstanding.

• Building Lower Cost Deposits. We currently offer NOW accounts, savings accounts and certificates of deposit. At September 30, 2013, certificates of deposit represented 61.58% of our total deposits. We intend to introduce new commercial checking accounts and focus on growing transaction deposit accounts. Checking accounts, NOW accounts and savings accounts are generally lower-cost sources of funds than certificate of deposits and are less sensitive to withdrawal when interest rates fluctuate. As we grow our commercial loan portfolio, we expect to attract core deposits from our new commercial loan customers. We also expect additional core deposits from internet banking, which was implemented during fiscal year 2013.

• Maintaining a Strong Capital Position Through Disciplined Growth and Earnings. Our policy has always been to protect the safety and soundness of the institution through conservative risk management, sound operations and a strong capital position. We have consistently maintained capital in excess of regulatory requirements. Our equity to total assets ratio was 16.88% at September 30, 2013.

• Offering New and Better Products and Services. We intend to utilize technology to increase productivity and provide new and better products and services We implemented our internet banking service in fiscal year 2013 and we also began offering debit cards in fiscal year 2013. We expect that these new products and services will help to maintain and increase our deposit base, will attract business and retail customers and will increase productivity. We will analyze the profitability of products and services and allocate our resources to those areas we believe offer the greatest future potential.

• Expanding Our Branch Network. We intend to evaluate and pursue opportunities to expand our franchise in our market area through the enhanced presence in the community provided by our new office facility and by opening additional banking offices and, possibly, through acquisitions of other financial institutions and banking related businesses. Other than the acquisition of Fullerton which occurred in October 2011, we have no current arrangements to acquire other financial institutions.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012

Total assets decreased by $2,016,000, or 2.55%, to $77,028,000 at September 30, 2013, from $79,044,000 at September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in securities available for sale in the amount of $2,012,000, a decrease in federal funds sold of $1,370,000 offset by an increase in net loans of $725,000.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $512,000, or 11.74%, to $3,851,000 at September 30, 2013, from $4,363,000 at September 30, 2012. This decrease was primarily the result of decreases in federal funds sold.

Certificates of deposit increased by $252,000 at September 30, 2013. The increase was due to the investment of available liquidity in FDIC insured certificates of deposits with maturities greater than one year.

Investment securities decreased by $1,893,000, or 16.55%, to $9,548,000 at September 30, 2013, from $11,441,000 at September 30, 2012. The decrease was the result of $5,034,000 in purchases offset by $6,740,000 in sales, maturities, payments and calls.

Total net loans increased from $54,650,000 at September 30, 2012, to $55,375,000 at September 30, 2013. This represented an increase of $725,000, or 1.33%. The change was primarily an increase of $649,000, or 19.88%, in construction and land development loans and an increase of $391,000, or 32.23%, in secured commercial loans. For related party loan information see Note 4 of the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreclosed assets decreased by $276,000 from $296,000 at September 30, 2012 to $20,000 at September 30, 2013. The foreclosed asset is a mobile home that is currently for sale and has been written down to its fair value.

Total liabilities at September 30, 2013 were $64,025,000, a decrease of $2,164,000, or 3.27%, from $66,189,000 at September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in deposits of $2,096,000 from $58,026,000 at September 30, 2012 to $55,930,000 at September 30, 2013.

Deposits decreased to $55,930,000 at September 30, 2013, from $58,026,000 at September 30, 2012. This represented a decrease of $2,096,000, or 3.61%. The decreases were primarily the result of decreases in certificates of deposit of $2,986,000, or 7.98%, offset by increases in savings of $1,388,000, or 8.98%. For related party deposit information see Note 8 of the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Borrowed funds, which were exclusively Federal Home Loan Bank advances remained unchanged at $8,000,000 at September 30, 2013 from September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2013, the weighted average rate of the advances was 3.35%. The balance of borrowed funds may fluctuate depending on, among other things, our ability to attract deposits, the relative pricing of advances compared to deposits, and its liquidity needs.

Stockholders’ equity was $13,003,000, or 16.88%, of total assets at September 30, 2013, compared to $12,855,000, or 16.26%, of total assets at September 30, 2012. The primary reason for the $148,000, or 1.15%, increase in equity was net income of $257,000 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013. The increase was offset by several factors including a decrease of $129,000 in other comprehensive income related to the interest rate fluctuations on the Company’s available for sale securities portfolio, a release of shares for the ESOP of $72,000, recording of stock based compensation of $81,000 relating to RRP shares and stock options. In September 2012, the Company instituted a stock repurchase program which resulted in a decrease of $133,000 in stockholders’ equity in fiscal year 2013 due to the repurchase of 7,800 shares of common stock.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Overview. Net income decreased by $1,091,000 to $257,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013, from $1,348,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012. This decrease in net income included an extraordinary gain of $1,022,000 recorded in 2012 in association with the acquisition of Fullerton. Net interest income decreased $109,000, or 3.90%, to $2,685,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013, from $2,794,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012. Provision for loan and lease losses increased by $300,000 to $500,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013, from $200,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012. Non-interest income increased by $157,000 from $91,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012, to $248,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013. Non-interest expenses decreased by $250,000, or 11.14%, from $2,245,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012, to $1,995,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013. Income taxes increased $67,000, or 58.77%, from $114,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012 to $181,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased by $109,000, or 3.90%, to $2,685,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013, from $2,794,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012. The decrease primarily resulted from the combined effects of a decrease of $296,000, or 7.97%, in interest and dividend income to $3,418,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013, from $3,714,000 in the year ended September 30, 2012, and a decrease of $187,000 in interest expense to $733,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013, from $920,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in interest and dividend income was due to a decrease in the average rates earned on interest-bearing assets from 5.06% at September 30, 2012 to 4.67% at September 30, 2013. Interest expense decreased due to a decrease in the average rates paid on deposits and borrowings to 1.13% at September 30, 2013, from 1.42% at September 30, 2012.

For the year ended September 30, 2013, the average yield on interest-earning assets was 4.67%, compared to 5.06% for the year ended September 30, 2012. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.13% for the year ended September 30, 2013, compared to 1.42% for the year ended September 30, 2012. The average balance of interest-earnings assets decreased by $90,000, or 0.12%, to $73,275,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013, compared to $73,365,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $163,000, or 0.25%, to $65,004,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013, from $64,841,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012.

The average interest rate spread was 3.54% for the year ended September 30, 2013, compared to 3.64% for the year ended September 30, 2012. The average net interest margin was 3.661% for the year ended September 30, 2013, compared to 3.81% for the year ended September 30, 2012.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses. The Company establishes a provision for loan losses, which is charged to operations, in order to maintain the allowance for loan and leases losses at a level the Company considers necessary to absorb credit losses incurred in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimated at the balance sheet date. In determining the level of the allowance for loan and lease losses, the Company considers past and current loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan and the levels of non-performing loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and actual losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or economic conditions change. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as circumstances change as more information becomes available. The allowance for loan losses is assessed on a quarterly basis and provisions are made for loan and lease losses as required in order to maintain the allowance.

The provision for loan and lease losses increased $300,000 to $500,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013, from $200,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012. The Company recorded net charge-offs of $384,000 and $248,000 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Non-performing loans totaled $2,386,000 at September 30, 2013 compared to $1,877,000 at September 30, 2012. The increase of $509,000 was the result of an increase of $914,000 in non-performing one-to four-family non-owner occupied loans. The Company’s non-performing loans to total loans increased to 4.31% at September 30, 2013, from 3.39% at September 30, 2012. The increase in the provision was necessary due to increases in non-performing and impaired loans during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. The Company has provided for all losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at September 30, 2013.

Non-performing assets, not including non-performing loans, totaled $20,000 and $296,000 at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company sold other real estate owed of $296,000 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, recording a loss of $24,000.

39

The Company had classified as impaired, loans that are 90 days or more delinquent or troubled debt restructurings. The amount of impaired loans of $3,152,000 was comprised of fifteen loan relationships. Of the fifteen loan relationships, four relationships were secured by one-to four-family owner occupied residential properties in the amount of $827,000, seven relationships were secured by one-to four-family non-owner occupied residential properties in the amount of 1,635,000, two loans were secured by mobile homes in the amount of $106,000, one loan was secured by other properties in the amount of $213,000 and one loan of $370,000 was secured by construction and land development.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income was $248,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013, which was an increase of $157,000 from $91,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012. The primary reason for the increase was that the Company sold securities and recorded gains of $117,000 on the sales during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. Service charges and fees increased by $19,000, or 28.36% from $67,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012, to $86,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013. This increase in service fees and charges was primarily due to an increase in loan settlements during the fiscal year. Other income also increased from $14,000 at September 30, 2012 to $40,000 at September 30, 2013. This increase was the result of an increase in the cash surrender value of a life insurance policy of a former president of the Bank.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased by $250,000, or 11.14% to $1,995,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013, from $2,245,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012. The primary reason for the overall decrease in non-interest expenses was due to an increase in salaries, fees and employment, offset by decreases in Salaries, fees and employment expense increased $63,000, or 5.79%, from $1,088,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012 to $1,151,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013. The increase in salaries, fees and employment expenses can be attributed the recording of stock based compensation for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. Professional fees decreased from $284,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012, to $198,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013. This decrease of $86,000, or 30.28%, was the result of several factors including a consulting agreement with a former Fullerton employee that was paid out fully in December 2012 and the increased reporting requirements associated with the Company’s public company status. The Company recorded an expense of $252,000 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 related to losses and costs on real estate acquired through foreclosure. The expense of $252,000 included a write down in the fair value of foreclosed real estate of $222,000 and losses on the sale of foreclosed real estate of $18,000.

Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased $67,000, or 58.77%, to $181,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013, from $114,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012. Although income before income taxes and extraordinary items was comparable from September 30, 2012 to September 30, 2013, a decrease in the deferred tax asset was recognized during the fiscal year which increased the overall tax liability. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $378,000 associated with the acquisition of Fullerton. The Company utilized approximately $43,000 in net loss carryforwards to offset current year taxable income. The remaining net loss carryforwards of approximately $335,000, which begin to expire in 2031, may be used to offset future income taxes payable. The Company however may be subject to alternative minimum tax and the realization of the net loss carryforwards is dependent on future taxable income and may be subject to limits under IRC Section 382.

Extraordinary Item. The Company recognized $1,022,000 of extraordinary income during the year ended September 30, 2012 relating to the acquisition of Fullerton. The extraordinary income, also defined as negative goodwill, was the result of the sum of the fair values of assets acquired less the liabilities assumed exceeding the acquisition cost.

Total Comprehensive Income. Total comprehensive income for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, consisted of net income and the change in unrealized gains on investment securities available for sale, net of tax. Total comprehensive income was $128,000 and $1,356,000 for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in total comprehensive income of $1,228,000 resulted from an decrease of $1,091,000 in net income, including the extraordinary gain of $1,022,000 and a decrease of $137,000 in adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income from the change in unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major categories of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Information is provided for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with respect to (1) changes in volume, which is the change in volume multiplied by prior year rate, and (2) changes in rate, which is the change in rate multiplied by prior year volume. The combined effect of changes in both rate and volume has been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Management of Market Risk

General. Because the net present value of the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. We are vulnerable to an increase in interest rates to the extent that our interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than our interest-earning assets. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. The board of directors is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the board of directors.

We have emphasized the origination of fixed-rate mortgage loans in our portfolio in order to maximize our net interest income and control credit risk. We accept increased exposure to interest rate fluctuations as a result of our investment in such loans. In a period of rising interest rates, our net interest rate spread and net interest income may be negatively affected. In addition, we have sought to manage and mitigate our exposure to interest rate risks in the following ways:

• We maintain relatively high levels of short-term liquid assets. At September 30, 2013, our short-term liquid assets totaled $3,851,000.

• We lengthen the weighted average maturity of our liabilities through retail deposit pricing strategies and the use of Federal Home Loan Bank advances;

• We invest in shorter to medium-term securities and in securities with step-up rate features providing for increased interest rates prior to maturity according to a predetermined schedule; and

• We maintain high levels of capital.

In the future, we intend to take additional steps to reduce interest rate risk, including originating construction loans and lines of credit and selling a portion of the one-to four-family non-owner occupied investor loans we originate.

Interest Rate Risk Analysis. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through our net interest income simulation model and our economic value of equity model, which is provided to us by an independent third party. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. We estimate our

42

net interest income for a one-year period based on current interest rates. We then calculate the net interest income for the same period under different interest rate assumptions. We also estimate the impact over a two-year time horizon. The analysis of our economic value of equity measures the difference between predicted changes in the present value of our assets and predicted changes in the present value of our liabilities assuming various changes in current interest rates.

These estimates require certain assumptions to be made, including loan and mortgage-related investment prepayment speeds, reinvestment rates, and deposit maturities and decay rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain. As a result, no simulation model can precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income and economic value of equity. Although the table below provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such estimates are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and our economic value of equity and will differ from actual results.

The following tables show the estimated impact on our net interest income for the one-year period beginning September 30, 2013 and changes in our economic value of equity at September 30, 2013 that would occur in the event of an immediate change in interest rates as described above, with no effect given to any steps that we might take to counteract that change

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and maturities of securities. In addition, we have the ability to borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, and we have a credit availability with a correspondent bank. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

The board of directors is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of its customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We believe that it has enough sources of liquidity to satisfy our short and long-term liquidity needs as of September 30, 2013.

We regularly monitor and adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of: (1) expected loan demand; (2) expected deposit flows; (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term securities.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $3,851,000. Certificates of deposit and securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $3,784,000 and $5,792,000, respectively at September 30, 2013.

At September 30, 2013, we had no mortgage loan commitments outstanding. However, at that date, we had unfunded commitments under lines of credit, including letters of credit of $5,654,000. Certificates of deposit due within one year of September 30, 2013 totaled $17,426,000, or 31.16%, of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or borrowings than we currently pays on the certificates of deposit due on or before September 30, 2013. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

The Bank’s primary investing activity is loan origination. In the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Bank originated $9,588,000 and $5,265,000 in loans, respectively. The Company purchased $499,000 in certificates of deposit during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013. Also during the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Bank purchased $5,034,000 and $7,478,000 of investment securities, respectively.

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts. We experienced a net decrease in total deposits of $2,096,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors, and by other factors.

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At September 30, 2013, we exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and we were considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. See “Supervision and Regulation—Banking Regulation—Capital Requirements” and Note 16 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We have the capacity to borrow up to $23,100,000 with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Our outstanding borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta at September 30, 2013 were $8,000,000. We also have a credit availability of $1,500,000 with a correspondent bank. There were no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2013, under this facility.

On September 7, 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had adopted a stock repurchase program. Under the repurchase program, the Company could repurchase up to 25,000 shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of the current outstanding shares. On October 4, 2012, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved an increase in its current stock repurchase program to 40,000 shares, or approximately 8% of the current outstanding shares. The purchase program began on September 10, 2012 and continued for six months through February 2013. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had repurchased 30,600 shares of common stock.

The repurchase program permited shares to be repurchased in open market or private transactions, through block trades, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The repurchase program may be suspended, terminated, or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Commitments

As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. For additional information, see Note 14 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Our financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). U.S. GAAP generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration of changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on performance than the effects of inflation.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210) – Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” This ASU requires entities to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the balance sheet and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” The amendments are being made to allow the Board time to re-deliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. While the Board is considering the operational concerns about the presentation requirements for reclassification adjustments and the needs of financial statement users for additional information about reclassification adjustments, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU 2011-05. All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 are not affected by ASU 2011-12, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. Public entities should apply these requirements for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” The objective of this amendment is to reduce the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment and to improve consistency in impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories. The amendments permit an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived tangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. Previous guidance in Subtopic 350-30 required an entity to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, on at least an annual basis, by comparing the fair value of the asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an entity should recognize an impairment loss in the amount of that excess. In accordance with the amendments in this ASU, an entity will have an option not to calculate annually the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset if the entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the asset is impaired. Permitting an entity to assess qualitative factors when testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment results in guidance that is similar to the goodwill impairment testing guidance in ASU 2011-08. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013 -02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. The amendments in this ASU require an entity to present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition, the amendments require a cross-reference to other disclosures currently required for other reclassification items to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. Companies should apply these amendments for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2012. The Company has included the required disclosures from ASU 2013-02 in the consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” The amendments in this update provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward exists. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net

45

operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Fairmount Bancorp, Inc.

Baltimore, Maryland

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (Fairmount Bank) as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period then ended. Fairmount Bancorp, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Nature of Operations

Fairmount Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated on November 30, 2009, to serve as the holding company for Fairmount Bank (the “Bank”), a federally chartered savings bank. On June 2, 2010, in accordance with a Plan of Conversion adopted by its Board of Directors and approved by its members, the Bank converted from a federal mutual savings bank to Maryland state chartered commercial bank and become the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The conversion was accomplished through the sale and issuance of 444,038 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, through which the Company received proceeds of approximately $3,742,000, net of offering expenses of approximately $699,000. Approximately 50% of the net proceeds of the offering, or $1,900,000, were contributed by the Company to the Bank in return for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Bank. In connection with the conversion, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted an employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”) which subscribed for 8% of the sum of the number of shares, or 35,523 shares of common stock sold in the offering.

On October 12, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Fullerton Federal Savings Association (“Fullerton”) in a conversion merger transaction. In connection with the acquisition and pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Conversion Merger and the related Plan of Conversion Merger, the Company issued and sold 56,276 shares of common stock at a price of $14.10 per share, through which the Company received proceeds of approximately $452,000, net of offering expenses of $341,000. The shares were sold in a subscription offering to depositors of Fullerton and to the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan and in a community offering to the Company’s Recognition and Retention Plan (the “RRP”) and to the general public. The amount of common stock offered for sale was based on an independent valuation of Fullerton.

In accordance with the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation of the State of Maryland regulations, upon the completion of the conversion, the Bank restricted retained earnings by establishing a liquidation account. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held. The Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.

Fairmount Bank is a community-oriented commercial bank, which provides a variety of financial services to individuals and corporate customers through its home Baltimore County, Maryland, and is subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Bank’s primary deposit products are interest-bearing savings, certificates of deposit, and individual retirement accounts. The Bank’s primary lending products are single-family residential mortgage loans. The Bank is subject to the regulations of certain Federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. The accounting policies of the Bank conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the banking industry.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fairmount Bancorp, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary Fairmount Bank. Material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and leases and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowances for losses on loans and leases and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, certificates of deposit less than one year and federal funds sold.

Securities

Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.

Securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and are reported at amortized cost (including amortization of premium or accretion of discount).

Securities classified as available for sale are those securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as increases or decreases in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses, determined on the basis of the cost of the specific securities sold, are included in earnings. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using a method which approximates the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary, if any, are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (the “FHLB”) stock is an equity interest in the FHLB, which does not have a readily determinable fair value for purposes of Generally Accepted Accounting Standards related to Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, because its ownership is restricted and it lacks a market. FHLB stock can be sold back only at par value of $100 per share and only to the FHLB or another member institution. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company owned shares totaling $453,700 and $479,700, respectively.

The Company evaluates the FHLB stock for impairment in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s determination of whether this investment is impaired is based on an assessment of the ultimate recoverability of its cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline in value affects the ultimate recoverability of its cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock

amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and accordingly on the customer base of the FHLB.

Loans

Loans are generally carried at the amount of unpaid principal, less the allowance for loan losses and adjusted for deferred loan fees, which are amortized over the term of the loan using the interest method. Interest on loans is accrued based on the principal amounts outstanding. It is the Company’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when the principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Cash collections on such loans are applied as reductions of the loan principal and no interest income is recognized on those loans until the principal balance has been collected. The carrying value of impaired loans is based on the present value of the loan’s expected future cash flows or, alternatively, the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. The loan may be returned to accrual status if unpaid principal and interest are paid so that the loan is brought current and performing according to the contractual terms of the loan.

When a loan is 15 days past due, the Company will send the borrower a late notice. The Company also contacts the borrower by phone if the delinquency is not corrected promptly after the notice has been sent. When the loan is 30 days past due, the Company will send the borrower a letter reminding the borrower of the delinquency, and attempts to contact the borrower personally to determine the reason for the delinquency in order to ensure that the borrower understands the terms of the loan and the importance of making payments on or before the due date. If necessary, subsequent delinquency notices are issued and the account will be monitored on a regular basis thereafter. By the 90th day of delinquency, the Company will send the borrower a final demand for payment and may recommend foreclosure. Loans are charged off when the Company believes that the recovery of principal is improbable. A summary report of all loans 30 days or more past due is provided to the board of directors of the Company each month.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses. The Company maintains the allowance at a level believed, to the best of management’s knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on no less than a quarterly basis in order to identify those inherent losses and to assess the overall collection probability for the loan portfolio. The evaluation process by portfolio segment includes, among other things, an analysis of delinquency trends, non-performing loan trends, the level of charge-offs and recoveries, prior loss experience, total loans outstanding, the volume of loan originations, the type, size and geographic concentration of the loans, the value of collateral securing the loan, the borrower’s ability to repay and repayment performance, the number of loans requiring heightened management oversight, local economic conditions and industry experience.

The establishment of the allowance for loan losses is significantly affected by management’s judgment and uncertainties, and there is a likelihood that different amounts would be reported under different conditions or assumptions. The Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation of the State of Maryland as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews the allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to make additional provisions for estimated loan losses based upon judgments different from those of management.

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The Company’s policies, consistent with regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans and other assets that are considered to be of lesser quality as substandard, doubtful, or loss assets. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those assets characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Assets (or portions of assets) classified as loss, are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that there continuance as assets is not warranted. Assets that do not expose us to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve close attention, are required to be designated as special mention.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Loans may be periodically modified in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) to make concessions to help a borrower remain current on the loan and to avoid foreclosure. Generally we do not forgive principal or interest on a loan or modify the interest rate on loans that are below market rates. When we modify loans in a TDR, we evaluate any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans. If we determine that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized through a specific allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance.

The allowance consists of specific, general, and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard, or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, a specific allowance is established for that portion of the loan that is deemed uncollectible. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. Determinations as to the classification of assets and the amount of loss allowances are subject to review by our principal federal regulator, the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation for the State of Maryland, which can require that we establish additional loss allowances. The Company regularly reviews its asset portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.

The Company maintains the allowance for loan and lease losses at a level considered adequate to provide for losses inherent in the loan portfolio. While the Company utilizes available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowances for loan and lease losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, particularly in its’ market area in the state of Maryland. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance for loan and lease losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance for loan and lease losses the Company has established, which could have a material negative effect on its financial statements.

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Foreclosed Assets

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure is initially recorded at the lower of cost (principal balance of the former mortgage loan plus costs of obtaining title and possession) or fair value at the date of acquisition. Costs relating to development and improvement of property are capitalized, whereas costs relating to the holding of property are expensed.

Management periodically performs valuations, and an allowance for losses is established by a charge to operations if the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated net realizable value.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance in ASC Topic 740. The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense – current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to taxable income or loss. Deferred taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the tax basis and the financial basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the enacted rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of the changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. has entered into a tax sharing agreement with Fairmount Bank. The agreement provides that Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. will file a consolidated federal tax return, and that the tax liability shall be apportioned among the entities as would be computed if each entity had filed a separate return. According to Maryland tax law, Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. and Fairmount Bank file separate Maryland state tax returns.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

The Company adopted a common stock repurchase program in which shares repurchased reduce the amount of shares issued and outstanding. The repurchased shares may be reissued in connection with share-based compensations plans and for general corporate purposes. Under this plan, the Company approved the repurchase of a specific amount of shares and will extend over a period of six months beginning September 10, 2013. The common stock repurchase program began in September 2012 and was completed in February 2013.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of equity, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit. These loans involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the balance sheet. Such financial instruments are recorded in the statement of income when they are funded.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies for these instruments as it does for the on-balance sheet instruments.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, advertising expense was $1,746 and $13,687 respectively.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company has approximately $2,750,000 and $3,512,000, in deposits in other financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), as of September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. The Company’s management considers this a normal business risk. The Company also maintains accounts with stock brokerage firms containing securities. These balances are insured up to $500,000 by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. The Company was required to maintain a $100,000 minimum balance in a deposit account with Maryland Financial as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, in relation to a sweep account.

Most of the Company’s activities are with customers in the Maryland counties of Baltimore and Harford and portions of the City of Baltimore. Notes 1, 4, and 5 discuss the types of activities and lending the Company engages in. The Bank does not have any significant concentrations in any one industry or customer.

Subsequent Events

The company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to September 30, 2013 through the date these financial statements were issued. Based on definitions and requirements of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for “Subsequent Events,” the Company has not identified any events that would require adjustments to, or disclosure in the financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s method of presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on net income.

Note 2. Business Combinations

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

Note 2. Business Combinations (Consolidated)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note 3. Securities (Continued)

During the fiscal year ended September 30, the Company sold its state and municipal securities portfolio at a gain. These state and municipal securities were transferred from the held to maturity category to the available for sale category. Although our intention had been to hold held to maturity securities until maturity, a pre-refunding and notice of call on a municipal bond was an event that triggered our reassessment of the classification of our state and municipal withholdings. Proceeds from the sale of available for sale securities totaled $1,753,845, realizing gross gains of $116,480 for the year ended September 30, 2013. Proceeds from the sale of available for sale securities totaled $189,692, realizing gross gains of $896 for the year ended September 30, 2012.

At September 30, 2013, the Company held eight investments with gross unrealized losses totaling $196,459. At September 30, 2012, the Company held two investments with gross unrealized losses totaling $8,698. The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Mortgage-backed securities are invested in U.S. Government Agencies, which guarantee payments to investors regardless of the status of the underlying mortgages. Consideration is given to the length of time and the amount of an unrealized loss, the financial condition of the issuer, and the intent an ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer long enough to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value. The Company monitors the financial condition of these issuers continuously and will record other-than-temporary impairment if the recovery of value is unlikely.

Market Risks

Investments of the Company are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, currency and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect investment assets reported in the financial statements. In addition, recent economic uncertainty and market events have led to unprecedented volatility in currency, commodity, credit and equity markets, culminating in failures of some banking and financial service firms and government intervention to solidify others. These recent events underscore the level of investment risk associated with the current economic environment, and accordingly, the level of risk in the Company’s investments.

The Company had a mobile home loan origination program that began in 2005 in which it is no longer participating. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, these loan balances totaled $1,785,854 and $2,068,672, respectively. Mobile home loans were purchased from by a third-party originator and funded by the Company at settlement. The Company paid a premium/loan origination fee to the third-party originator, of which one-half was wired upon settlement of the loan and the remainder was kept by the Company in a depository account in the name of the third-party. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, the balance in the account was $0 and $42,762, respectively, and was accessed by the Company in the event of prepayment, foreclosure or deterioration of the value of the mobile home. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company has prepaid loan origination fees related to this program of $211,177 and $261,337, which are being amortized over the estimated lives of the loans.

In October 2004, the Company purchased a block of mortgage loans from another financial institution for $2,126,620, with an average yield of 6%. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, the loan balances were $556,213 and $657,951, respectively, and included in mortgage loans secured by one-to four family residences. In addition, the Company has unamortized loan premiums of $10,721 and $13,187, as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, being amortized over the terms of the purchased loans.

In May 2009, the Company purchased a block of one-to four-family mortgage loans totaling $1,109,768, with an average yield of 6.08%. There was no premium paid on the purchase. The balances of purchased loans at September 30, 2013 and 2012, are included in the breakdown of loans shown above.

Note 5. Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Loan Losses

Management segregates the loan portfolio into portfolio segments which is defined as the level at which the Company develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for loan losses. The portfolio segments are segregated based on loan types and the underlying risk factors present in each loan type. Such risk factors are periodically reviewed by management and revised as deemed appropriate.

The Company’s loan portfolio is segregated into the following portfolio segments.

One-to Four-Family Owner Occupied Loans. This portfolio segment consists of the origination of first mortgage loans and home equity second mortgage loans secured by one-to four-family owner occupied residential properties located in our market area. The Company has experienced no foreclosures on its owner occupied loan portfolio during recent periods and believe this is due mainly to its conservative lending strategies including its non-participation in “interest only”, “Option ARM,” “sub-prime” or “Alt-A” loans.

One-to Four-Family Non-Owner Occupied Loans. This portfolio segment consists of the origination of first mortgage loans secured by one-to four-family non-owner occupied residential properties in its market area. A majority of these loans are sold on a participation basis to other community banks. Such lending involves additional risks, since the properties are not owner occupied, and the renters of these properties are less likely to be concerned with property upkeep.

Mobile Home Loans. This portfolio segment consists of mobile home loans that were purchased from a third-party originator and funded by us at settlement. Mobile home lending involves additional risks as a result of higher loan-to-value ratios usually associated with these types of loans. Mobile home loan customers have historically been more adversely impacted by weak economic conditions, consequently, mobile home loans bear a higher rate of interest, have a higher probability of default, and may involve higher delinquency rates. In addition, the values of mobile home loans decline over time and higher levels of inventories of repossessed and used mobile homes may affect the values of collateral and result in higher charge-offs and provisions for loan losses. The Company ceased originating these loans in September 2007, and no future originations of these types of loans are planned.

Secured by Other Properties. This portfolio segment includes loans secured by commercial real estate, including multi-family dwellings. Loans secured by commercial real estate generally have larger loan balances and more credit risk than one-to four-family mortgage loans. The increased risk is the result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the impact of local and general economic conditions on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans.

Construction and Land Development Loans. This portfolio segment includes construction loans to individuals and builders, primarily for the construction of residential properties and land loans, which are loans made with land as security. Construction and land development financing generally involves greater credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, the Company may be required to advance additional funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Moreover, if the estimated value of the completed project proves to be inaccurate, the borrower may hold a property with a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment. Construction loans also expose the Company to the risks that improvements will not be completed on time in accordance with specifications and projected costs and that repayment will depend on the successful operation or sale of the properties. In addition, many of these borrowers have more than one outstanding loan, so an adverse development with respect to one loan or credit relationship can expose the Company to significantly greater risk of non-payment and loss.

Other Loans. This portfolio segment includes commercial business loans secured by assignments of corporate assets and personal guarantees of the business owners and consumer loans consisting solely of deposit account loans. Commercial business loans generally have higher interest rates and shorter terms than one- to four-family residential loans, but they also may involve higher average balances, increased difficulty of loan monitoring and a higher risk of default since their repayment generally depends on the successful operation of the borrower’s business.

Loans are generally carried at the amount of unpaid principal, less the allowance for loan losses and adjusted for deferred loan fees, which are amortized over the term of the loan using the interest method. Interest on loans is accrued based on the principal amounts outstanding. It is the Company’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when the principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Cash collections on such loans are applied as reductions of the loan principal and no interest income is recognized on those loans until the principal balance has been collected. The carrying value of impaired loans is based on the present value of the loan’s expected future cash flows or, alternatively, the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral.

As a financial services provider, the Company is routinely party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans made.

Management further disaggregates the loan portfolio segments into classes of loans, which are based on the initial measurement of the loan, risk characteristics of the loan and the method for monitoring and assessing the credit risk of the loan.

Note 5. Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses. The Company maintains the allowance at a level believed, to the best of management’s knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date.

Management reviews the allowance for loan losses on no less than a quarterly basis in order to identify those inherent losses and to assess the overall collection probability for the loan portfolio. The evaluation process by portfolio segment includes, among other things, an analysis of delinquency trends, non-performing loan trends, the level of charge-offs and recoveries, prior loss experience, total loans outstanding, the volume of loan originations, the type, size and geographic concentration of the loans, the value of collateral securing the loan, the borrower’s ability to repay and repayment performance, the number of loans requiring heightened management oversight, local economic conditions and industry experience.

The establishment of the allowance for loan losses is significantly affected by management’s judgment and uncertainties, and there is a likelihood that different amounts would be reported under different conditions or assumptions. The Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation for the State of Maryland, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews the allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to make additional provisions for estimated loan losses based upon judgments different from those of management.

The allowance generally consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

The Company will continue to monitor and modify its allowance for loan losses as conditions dictate. No assurances can be given that the level of allowance for loan losses will cover all of the inherent losses on the loans or that future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses will not be necessary if economic and other conditions differ substantially from the economic and other conditions used by management to determine the current level of the allowance for loan losses.

The following tables set forth as of the end of each reporting period, the balance of the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment, disaggregated by impairment methodology, which is then further segregated by amounts evaluated for impairment collectively and individually. The allowance for loan losses allocated to each portfolio segment is not necessarily indicative of future losses in any particular portfolio segment and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in other portfolio segments.

Note 5. Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

The Company’s policies, consistent with regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans and other assets that are considered to be of lesser quality as substandard, doubtful, or loss assets. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those assets characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Assets (or portions of assets) classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that there continuance as assets is not warranted. Assets that do not expose us to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve close attention, are required to be designated as special mention.

When assets are classified as either substandard or doubtful, the Company allocates a portion of the related general loss allowances to such assets as the Company deems prudent. Determinations as to the classification of assets and the amount of loss allowances are subject to review by our principal federal regulator, the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation of the State of Maryland, which can require that we establish additional loss allowances. The Company regularly reviews its asset portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.

When a loan is 15 days past due, the Company sends the borrower a late notice. The Company also contacts the borrower by phone if the delinquency is not corrected promptly after the notice has been sent. When the loan is 30 days past due, the Company mails the borrower a letter reminding the borrower of the delinquency, and attempt to contact the borrower personally to determine the reason for the delinquency in order to ensure that the borrower understands the terms of the loan and the importance of making payments on or before the due date. If necessary, subsequent delinquency notices are issued and the account will be monitored on a regular basis thereafter. By the 90^th day of delinquency, the Company will send the borrower a final demand for payment and may recommend foreclosure. Loans are charged off when the Company believes that the recovery of principal is improbable. A summary report of all loans 30 days or more past due is provided to the board of directors of the Company each month.

Loans are automatically placed on non-accrual status when payment of principal or interest is more than 90 days delinquent. Loans are also placed on non-accrual status if collection of principal or interest in full is in doubt or if the loan has been restructured. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received. The loan may be returned to accrual status if unpaid principal and interest are repaid so that the loan is less than 90 days delinquent.

At September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, there were no loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest. At September 30, 2013, the Company had twenty-nine loans on non-accrual status with foregone interest in the amount of $251,798. At September 30, 2012, the Company had twenty-three loans on non-accrual status with foregone interest in the amount of $160,495.

The Company accounts for impaired loans under generally accepted accounting principles. An impaired loan generally is one for which it is probable, based on current information, that the lender will not collect all the amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan. Loans are individually evaluated for impairment. When the Company classifies a problem asset as impaired, it provides a specific reserve for that portion of the asset that is deemed uncollectible based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, or based on the loan’s observable market price or fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Loans may be periodically modified in a troubled debt restructuring (a “TDR”) to make concessions to help a borrower remain current on the loan and/or to avoid foreclosure. Generally we do not forgive principal or interest on a loan or modify the interest rate on loans that are below market rates. When we modify loans in a TDR, we evaluate any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans. If we determine that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized through a specific allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance. At September 30, 2013, we had ten loans that were restructured. One loan was secured by a one-to four-family owner occupied property in the amount of $136,481. Five loans to the same borrower in the amount of $783,503 were secured by one-to four-family non-owner occupied properties. One loan was secured by other properties in the amount of $213,099, one loan was secured by construction and land development in the amount of $370,411 and two loans were secured by a mobile homes in the amount of $105,940. At September 30, 2012, we had eight loans that were restructured. One loan was secured by a one-to four-family owner occupied property in the amount of $138,035. Five loans to the same borrower in the amount of $855,879 were secured by one-to four-family non-owner occupied properties. One loan was secured by other properties in the amount of $216,000 and one loan was secured by a mobile home loan in the amount of $51,313. The Company has no commitments to loan additional funds to borrowers whose loans have been modified.

The Company maintains $731,536 of its retained earnings as a reserve for loan losses for tax purposes. This amount has not been charged against earnings and is a restriction on retained earnings. If this balance in the reserve account is used for anything but losses on mortgage loans or payment of special assessment taxes, it will be subject to federal income taxes.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had remaining net operating loss carryforwards from the Fullerton acquisition of approximately $335,000, which expire in 2031. These net operating loss carryforwards may be used to offset future income taxes payable, however the Bank may be subject to alternative minimum tax. Their realization is dependent on future taxable income and may be subject to limits under IRC Section 382.

The Company follows the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which provides guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. No interest and penalties were recorded during the period ended September 30, 2013. Generally, the tax years before 2008 are no longer subject to examination by federal, state or local taxing authorities.

Note 11. Defined Contribution Benefit Plan

In July 2009, the Company established a 401(k) plan covering all full-time employees who have attained an age of 21 and have completed 12 months of service. The plan provides for the Company to make contributions which will match employee deferrals on a one-to-one basis up to 4% of an employee’s eligible compensation. Participants are 100% vested in their deferrals and employer matching contributions. Additional contributions can be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors based on the Company’s performance. Contributions for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $25,510 and $25,481, respectively.

Note 12. Employee Stock Ownership Plan

In connection with the conversion to stock form in June 2010, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) for the exclusive benefit of eligible employees. The ESOP borrowed funds from the Company in the amount of $355,230, which was sufficient to purchase 35,523 shares or 8% of the common stock issued and sold in the initial public offering in June 2010. The shares were acquired at a price of $10.00 per share. The ESOP borrowed additional funds from the Company in the amount of $63,478, which was sufficient to purchase 4,502 shares or 8% of the common stock issued and sold in the conversion merger of Fullerton in October 2011. The shares were acquired at a price of $14.10 per share.

The loans are secured by the shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP over the 10-year terms of the loans with funds from Fairmount Bank’s contributions to the ESOP and dividends paid on the stock, if any. The interest rate on the ESOP loans is an adjustable rate equal to the lowest prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal. The interest rate will adjust annually and will be the prime rate on the last business day of the fiscal year. The interest rate on the loan as of September 30, 2013, is 3.25%.

Shares purchased with the loan proceeds are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as the loan is repaid. Contributions to the ESOP and shares released from the suspense account are allocated among participants in proportion to their compensation, relative to total compensation of all active participants. Participants will vest their accrued benefits under the employee stock ownership plan at the rate of 20% per year. Vesting is accelerated upon retirement, death or disability of the participant, or a change in control of the Bank. Forfeitures will be reallocated to remaining plan participants. Benefits may be payable upon retirement, death, disability, separation of service, or termination of the ESOP.

The debt of the ESOP, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is eliminated in consolidation and the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the consolidated balance sheet. Contributions to the ESOP shall be sufficient to pay principal and interest currently due under the loan agreement. As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the average market price of the shares for the respective period, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest. ESOP compensation expense for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $71,676 and $59,750, respectively.

A summary of ESOP shares is as follows:

	September 30, 2013		September 30, 2012
Shares committed for release		20,527		16,525
Unearned shares		19,498		23,500
Total ESOP shares		40,025		40,025
Fair value of unearned shares	$	389,960	$	399,500

Note 13. Recognition and Retention Plan

On December 15, 2010, the Board of Directors adopted the 2010 Recognition and Retention Plan and Trust Agreement (the “RRP”), which was approved at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The RRP is designed to enable Fairmount to provide officers, other employees and non-employee directors with a proprietary interest in Fairmount and as incentive to contribute to its success. Officers, other employees and non-employee directors who are selected by the board of directors or members of a committee appointed by the Board will be eligible to receive benefits under the RRP.

The Board may make grants under the 2010 Recognition and Retention Plan to eligible participants based on the following factors. RRP participants will vest in their share awards at a rate no more rapid than 20% per year over a five year period, beginning on the date of the plan share award. If service to the Company is terminated for any reason other than death, disability or change in control, the unvested share awards will be forfeited. As of September 30, 2013, 15,104 shares have been awarded under the plan. The Company recorded compensation expense of $42,568 for the year ended September 30, 2013. The Company did not record compensation expense for the year ended September 30, 2012.

The Recognition and Retention Plan Trust (the “Trust”) has been established to acquire, hold, administer, invest and make distributions from the Trust in accordance with provisions of the Plan and Trust. The Company will contribute sufficient funds to the Trust so that the Trust can acquire 17,761 shares of common stock as part of the initial public offering, which are held in the Trust subject to the RRP’s vesting requirements. The RRP provides that grants to each employee and non-employee director shall not exceed 25% and 5% of the shares available under the Plan, respectively. Shares awarded to non-employee directors in the aggregate shall not exceed 30% of the shares available under the RRP.

Note 14. Stock Option Plan

On December 15, 2010, the Board of Directors adopted the 2010 Stock Option Plan. The 2010 Stock Option Plan will provide Fairmount’s directors and key employees with a proprietary interest in Fairmount as an as incentive to contribute to its success. The Board of Directors of the Company may grant options to eligible employees and non-employee directors based on these factors. Plan participants will vest in their options at a rate of no more rapid than 20% per year over a five year period, beginning on the grant date of the option. Vested options will have an exercise period of ten years commencing on the date of grant. If service to the Company is terminated for any reason other than death, disability or change in control, the unvested options shall be forfeited. The Company recognizes compensation expense during the vesting period based on the fair value of the option on the date of the grant calculated using the Black Scholes Model. As of September 30, 2013, 37,760 options have been granted to eligible employees and non-employee directors. The Company recorded compensation expense of $37,684 for the year ended September 30, 2013. The Company did not record compensation expense for the year ended September 30, 2012.

A summary of the Stock Option Plan year ended September 30, 2013:

Note 15. Stock Repurchases

On September 7, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 25,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The repurchase program is equal to approximately 5% of the total shares outstanding. On October 4, 2012, the Board of Directors approved an increase in its current stock repurchase program from 25,000 to 40,000 shares, which is equal to approximately 8% of the total shares outstanding. The repurchase program began on September 10, 2012 and will occur over a period of six months. The following table sets forth information in connection with repurchases of the Company’s shares of common stock during the period listed.

Note 16. Deferred Compensation Obligation

In February 1985, the Company entered into a deferred compensation arrangement with its former president, with payments to him or his heirs to commence on the first day of the month coinciding with the date the president attained seventy-one years of age and continue for a minimum of 10 years. The former president, at his own discretion, decided to delay the start of this agreement until fiscal year 2004.

In June 2004, the Company accrued a deferred compensation obligation of $66,237, relating to this agreement, utilizing a 5% interest factor for present value calculations. This liability is intended to be ultimately funded by a $100,000 whole life insurance policy owned by the Company, insuring the former president. The final payment of the obligation was paid in July 2012. The life insurance policy was collected in the current fiscal year due to the death of the insured in July 2013.

Note 17. Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. The Bank must meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (as defined in the regulations) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets. Management believes, as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of September 30, 2013, the most recent notification from the Bank’s regulators categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets, ratios. There have been no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

Note 18. Fair Value Measurements

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. GAAP clarifies the definition of fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market for the asset or liability, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement and based on the Company’s own assumptions about market participants’ assumptions.

The following table presents a summary of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value at September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012:

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles concerning accounting for Loan and Lease Losses, losses of $16,781 and $0 for the years ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively, were recognized as a charge to the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses at the time the foreclosed assets were acquired based on an independent appraisal of the property’s fair value.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values, including items in the above tables, are included in the disclosures that follow.

Cash and Cash Equivalents (Carried at Cost). The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value.

Certificates of Deposit (Carried at Cost). The carrying amounts of certificates of deposit approximate fair value.

Note 18. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

Securities Available for Sale (Carried at Fair Value). Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities available for sale are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, securities available for sale are classified within level 2 and fair value values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2 would include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock (Carried at Cost). The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.

Loans Receivable (Carried at Cost). The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the statement of condition date that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.

Impaired Loans (Generally Carried at Fair Value). Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. Impaired loans are measured at an observable market price (if available), or at fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). When the loan is dependent on collateral, fair value of collateral is determined by appraisal or independent valuation, which is then adjusted for the related cost to sell. Impaired loans allocated to the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses are measured at the lower of cost or fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Foreclosed Assets (Carried at Lower of Cost or Fair Value Less Estimated Selling Costs). Fair values of foreclosed assets are measured at fair value less cost to sell. The valuation of the fair value measurement follows GAAP. Foreclosed assets are measured on a nonrecurring basis.

Deposit Liabilities (Carried at Cost). The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair value for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances (Carried at Cost). Fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flows analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable (Carried at Cost). The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Off Balance Sheet Credit-Related Instruments (Disclosures at Cost). Fair values for off balance-sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of these instruments is not material.

Note 19. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to originate loans. These loans involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the balance sheet.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies for these instruments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

The commitment to originate loans is an agreement to lend to a customer provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and may require the payment of a fee. The Company expects that a large majority of its commitments will be fulfilled subsequent to the balance sheet date and therefore, represent future cash requirements.

The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.

Loan commitments representing off-balance sheet risk at September 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

	Contract or Notional Amount
	2013		2012
Mortgage loan commitments-fixed rate (3.00% - 7.75%)	$	—	$	850,500
Unused lines of credit		3,686,945		1,725,628
Available home equity lines of credit		1,845,383		2,187,617
Standby letters of credit		121,456		216,997

Note 20. Earnings per Share

Earnings per common share on income before extraordinary income is computed by dividing income before extraordinary item by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and the earnings per share on the extraordinary items is computed by dividing the extraordinary item by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Weighted average shares excludes unallocated ESOP shares and unearned RRP shares. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options were exercised and is computed by dividing net income by the dilutive weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

(a) Our management evaluated, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasure, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2013. Based on such evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us 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 SEC’s rules and regulations and are operating in an effective manner.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13s-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements prepared for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2013.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit smaller reporting companies to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

(c) No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
