Forward Looking Statements
This Annual Report contains certain forward-looking statements that may be identified by the use of words such as believe, expect, anticipate, should, planned, estimated and potential. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, estimates with respect to our financial condition, results of operations and business that are subject to various factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates and most other statements that are not historical in nature. These factors include, but are not limited to, general and local economic conditions, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, demand for mortgage and other loans, real estate values, competition, changes in accounting principles, policies, or guidelines, changes in legislation or regulation or regulatory policies and procedures, and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services. Because of this and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.
Georgetown Bancorp, Inc.
Georgetown Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) is a Maryland corporation that was incorporated in March 2012 to be the successor corporation to Georgetown Bancorp, Inc., a federal corporation (Georgetown Federal) and the former stock holding company for Georgetown Bank, upon completion of the mutual-to-stock conversion of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, the former mutual holding company for Georgetown Bank.
The conversion was completed July 11, 2012. The Company sold a total of 1,100,000 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share in the related offering. Concurrent with the completion of the offering, shares of Georgetown Federal common stock owned by public stockholders were exchanged for 0.72014 shares of the Companys common stock. Options and shares of restricted stock granted under the Companys 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as well as common shares held by the Banks Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) before the second-step conversion, were also exchanged using the exchange ratio of 0.72014-to-one.
The executive office of the Company is located at 2 East Main Street, Georgetown, Massachusetts 01833, and its telephone number is (978) 352- 8600. The Company is subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Georgetown Bank
Georgetown Bank (the Bank) is a federally chartered savings bank headquartered in Georgetown, Massachusetts. The Bank was originally founded in 1868. In connection with its initial mutual holding company reorganization and stock offering, the Bank converted from a Massachusetts-chartered savings bank to a federally chartered savings bank on January 5, 2005. The Bank conducts business from its main office located at 2 East Main Street in Georgetown, Massachusetts, and its branch offices located in North Andover and Rowley, Massachusetts. The telephone number at its main office is (978) 352-8600. The Bank is subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
General
Our principal business consists of attracting deposits from businesses and the general public primarily in Essex County, Massachusetts and investing those deposits, together with borrowings and funds generated from operations, in commercial and multi-family real estate loans, one- to four-family investment property loans and commercial business loans, one- to four-family residential real estate loans, home equity loans and lines of credit and consumer loans, as well as investing in investment securities. We primarily originate loans in eastern Massachusetts (which includes the Boston metropolitan area) and southern New Hampshire. For a description of our business strategy, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsBusiness Strategy.
Our revenues are derived principally from interest on loans and securities, customer service fees and our mortgage banking operation. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings and principal and interest payments on loans and securities, as well as the sale of residential loans in the secondary market.
In March 2011, Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, Georgetown Federal, the Bank and its subsidiary changed their fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31.
Market Area
We primarily serve communities located in Essex County, Massachusetts for deposit products and eastern Massachusetts (which includes the Boston metropolitan area) and southern New Hampshire for lending products.
Essex County is located in the northeastern portion of Massachusetts, a largely suburban area adjacent to the city of Boston. Georgetown is located 30 miles north of Boston near Interstate 95, the major north-south highway that runs along the East Coast of the United States. Consistent with suburban areas located near large metropolitan areas in general, the economy in our primary deposit market area is based on a mixture of service, manufacturing, wholesale/retail trade, and state and local government. The primary deposit market area also serves as a bedroom community for individuals employed in nearby Boston. Maintaining operations near a large metropolitan area serves as a benefit to us in periods of economic growth, while at the same time fosters significant competition for financial services. Our future growth opportunities depend in part on national economic growth factors, the future economic growth in our primary deposit market area and the intensity of the competitive environment for financial services. Rockingham County, New Hampshire, where the majority of our business in southern New Hampshire is located, has similar characteristics as Essex County.
The greater Boston metropolitan area is the 10th largest metropolitan area in the United States. Located adjacent to major transportation corridors, the Boston metropolitan area provides a highly diversified economic base, with major employment sectors ranging from services, manufacturing and wholesale retail trade, to finance, technology and medical care.
The population in Essex County, Massachusetts grew 0.11% from 2010 to 2012, compared to a growth rate of 1.24% for Rockingham County, New Hampshire (located in southern New Hampshire), 0.91% for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and 1.42% for the United States as a whole during the same time period. Median household income for 2012 was $62,048 in Essex County, Massachusetts compared to $71,353, $62,403 and $50,157 for Rockingham County, New Hampshire, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States as a whole, respectively, for the same year. The average unemployment rate for Essex County, Massachusetts, was 6.9% for 2012, compared to 7.9% for 2011. The average unemployment rate for Rockingham County, New Hampshire increased to 5.8% for 2012 compared to 5.4% for 2011, and the average unemployment rate for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts decreased to 6.5% for 2012 compared to 7.5% for 2011. By comparison, the average unemployment rates for the United States as a whole were 8.1% for 2012 and 9.0% for 2011.
Competition
We face intense competition within our primary market area both in making loans and attracting deposits. Our primary market area has a high concentration of financial institutions including large money center and regional banks, community banks and credit unions. Some of our competitors offer products and services that we currently do not offer, such as trust services and private banking.
Our competition for loans and deposits comes principally from commercial banks, savings and cooperative institutions, mortgage banking firms and credit unions. We face additional competition for deposits from short-term money market funds, brokerage firms, mutual funds and insurance companies. Our primary focus is to build and develop profitable customer relationships across all lines of business, while maintaining our role as a community bank.
As of June 30, 2012 (the latest date for which information is available), our market share was 0.98% of total deposits in Essex County, Massachusetts, making us the 21rd largest out of 39 financial institutions in Essex County based upon deposit share as of that date.
Lending Activities
In recent years, we have diversified our lending activities by increasing our origination of commercial and multi-family real estate loans, one- to four-family investment property loans and commercial business loans. Our commercial loan portfolio, including construction loans, has grown significantly since 2006, to $70.3 million, or 38.7% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2012 compared to $24.0 million, or 18.5% of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2006. However, these loans decreased in 2012. One- to four-family investment property, commercial and multi-family real estate loans totaled $49.4 million, or 27.2% of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2012. Commercial business loans totaled $8.7 million, or 4.8% of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2012, and construction loans totaled $12.2 million, or 6.7% of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2012. One- to four-family residential real estate mortgage loans represented $95.5 million, or 52.5% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2012, compared to 38.5% as of December 31, 2011. We also originate consumer loans that are not secured by real estate, including automobile loans, deposit account loans and unsecured personal loans. At December 31, 2012, such loans totaled $414,000, or 0.2% of our loan portfolio.
In accordance with our strategic plan initiative of the development of a mortgage banking operation, we sold $60.9 million in residential loans in the secondary market during the year ended December 31, 2012, generating $1.4 million in non-interest income. We expect to have a continued emphasis in this activity in the future.

One- to Four-Family Residential Loans. At December 31, 2012, $95.5 million, or 52.5% of our loan portfolio consisted of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Our strategic plan includes the continued emphasis of our mortgage banking operation, whereby the majority of fixed-rate, residential loan originations are sold, primarily consisting of loans with 30-year terms, which we generally sell on a servicing-retained basis. We sold $60.9 million in residential mortgage loans during the year ended December 31, 2012, representing 61.1% of one- to four-family residential real estate loans originated during the year, as we continued the development of our mortgage banking operation. One- to four-family mortgage loan originations are generally obtained from our outside and in-house loan representatives, from existing or past customers, through advertising, and through referrals from local real estate brokers and attorneys and are underwritten pursuant to our policies and standards. Generally, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans are originated in amounts up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of the property, with private mortgage insurance required on loans with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80%. Fixed-rate mortgage loans generally are originated for terms of 10 to 40 years. Generally, all fixed-rate residential mortgage loans are underwritten according to secondary market policies and procedures, which allows for sale in the secondary market, consistent with our asset-liability management and portfolio needs.
We also offer adjustable-rate mortgage loans for one- to four-family properties, primarily with an interest rate based on the one-year LIBOR Index, which adjusts annually from the outset of the loan or which adjusts annually after a three-or five-year initial fixed-rate period. We originated $8.6 million of adjustable-rate, one- to four-family residential loans during the year ended December 31, 2012 and $90.6 million of fixed-rate one- to four-family residential loans during the same period. Of these fixed-rate originations, $62.5 million, or 68.9%, were originated for sale in the secondary mortgage market. Our adjustable-rate mortgage loans generally provide for maximum rate adjustments of 2% per adjustment, with a lifetime maximum adjustment up to 5%, regardless of the initial rate. Our adjustable-rate mortgage loans amortize over terms of up to 30 years. Generally, all adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans are underwritten according to secondary market policies and procedures.
Adjustable-rate mortgage loans decrease the risk associated with changes in market interest rates by periodically repricing, but involve other risks because, as interest rates increase, the underlying payments by the borrower increase, thus increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustment of the contractual interest rate is also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents and, therefore, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgage loans with respect to interest rate risk may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates. At December 31, 2012, $26.4 million, or 27.7% of our one- to four-family residential loans, had adjustable-rates of interest.
In an effort to provide financing for first-time homebuyers, we offer the first-time homebuyer loan program from Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency (Mass Housing). This program offers one- to four-family residential mortgage loans to qualified individuals. These loans are offered with terms and fixed-rates of interest similar to our other one- to four-family mortgage loan products. Such loans must be secured by an owner-occupied residence. These loans are originated using Mass Housing expanded underwriting guidelines. Such loans are originated in amounts of up to 95% of the lower of the propertys appraised value or the sale price. Private mortgage insurance is required for loans with loan-to-value ratios of over 80%.
All residential mortgage loans that we originate include due-on-sale clauses, which give us the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event that, among other things, the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid. Regulations limit the amount that a savings bank may lend relative to the appraised value of the real estate securing the loan, as determined by an appraisal of the property at the time the loan is originated. All borrowers are required to obtain title insurance for the benefit of Georgetown Bank. We also require homeowners insurance and fire and casualty insurance and, where circumstances warrant, flood insurance on properties securing real estate loans. Our loan policy provides that we will not originate loans secured by real estate that contains underground fuel storage tanks. At December 31, 2012, our largest residential mortgage loan had a principal balance of $1.6 million and was secured by a residence located in Boston, Massachusetts. This loan was performing in accordance with its repayment terms.
Home Equity Loans and Home Equity Lines of Credit. We also offer home equity loans and home equity lines of credit, both of which are secured by one- to four-family residences. At December 31, 2012, home equity loans and equity lines of credit totaled $15.6 million, or 8.6% of total loans. Additionally, at December 31, 2012, the unadvanced amounts of home equity lines of credit totaled $9.2 million. The underwriting standards utilized for home equity loans and equity lines of credit include a determination of the applicants credit history, an assessment of the applicants ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan and the value of the collateral securing the loan. The combined loan-to-value ratio for home equity loans and equity lines of credit is generally limited to 85%. Home equity loans are offered with fixed-rates of interest and with terms of up to 15 years. Our home equity lines of credit have adjustable-rates of interest that are generally equal to the prime rate, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, plus 0.50% with a floor rate of 4.00%.
Commercial Real Estate Loans. We originate commercial real estate loans, including commercial lines of credit, generally in our primary lending market area, that are secured by properties used for business purposes such as small office buildings or retail facilities. At December 31, 2012, commercial real estate loans totaled $32.7 million, which amounted to 18.0% of total loans. Our real estate underwriting policies provide that such loans may be made in amounts of up to 80% of the appraised value of the property, provided such loan complies with our loans-to-one borrower limit for these types of loans. Our loans-to-one borrower limit is 15% of Georgetown Banks unimpaired capital, which limit was $3.9 million at December 31, 2012, but we generally target commercial real estate loans with balances of up to $2.5 million. At December 31, 2012, our average commercial real estate loan had a balance of $595,000. Our commercial real estate loans may be made with terms of up to 10 years with an amortization of 25 years and are offered with interest rates that are fixed or adjust periodically and are generally indexed to Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston borrowing rates. When possible these loans provide for a pre-payment penalty.
In reaching a decision on whether to make a commercial real estate loan, we consider the net operating income of the property, the borrowers expertise and credit history, and the profitability of the underlying business and the value of the underlying property. In addition, with respect to real estate rental properties, we will also consider the term of the lease and the quality of the tenants. We generally require that the properties securing these real estate loans have debt service coverage ratios (the ratio of earnings before debt service to debt service) of at least 1.20 times. Environmental surveys are generally required for commercial real estate loans. Generally, commercial real estate loans made to corporations, partnerships and other business entities require the principals to execute the loan agreements in their individual capacity, as well as signing on behalf of such business entity.
A commercial borrowers financial information is monitored on an ongoing basis by requiring periodic financial statement updates, payment history reviews and periodic face-to-face meetings with the borrower, except for existing amortizing loan relationships less than $250,000. We require commercial borrowers to provide annually updated financial statements and federal tax returns. These requirements also apply to the individual principals of our commercial borrowers. We also require borrowers with rental investment property to provide an annual report of income and expenses for the property, including a tenant list and copies of leases, as applicable. The largest commercial real estate loan in our portfolio at December 31, 2012 was a $3.3 million loan collateralized by a commercial property located in North Andover, Massachusetts. This loan was performing according to its terms at December 31, 2012.
Loans secured by commercial real estate properties generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by one- to four-family investment properties
are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.
One- to Four-Family Investment Property Loans. We originate commercial real estate loans on one- to four-family investment properties. The subject properties are non-owner occupied and generally under a business name or in individuals name in instances where an individual owns more investment property than what is allowed under Fannie Mae guidelines. At December 31, 2012, one- to four-family investment property loans totaled $11.4 million, which amounted to 6.3% of total loans. Our real estate underwriting policies provide that such loans may be made in amounts of up to 80% of the appraised value of the property, provided such loan complies with our loans-to-one borrower limit for these types of loans. We generally target one- to four-family investment property loans with balances up to $750,000. At December 31, 2012, our average one- to four-family investment property had a balance of $189,000. Our loans for one- to four-family investment properties may be made with terms of up to 10 years with an amortization of up to 25 years and are offered with interest rates that are fixed or adjust periodically and are generally indexed to Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advance rates. When possible these loans provide for a pre-payment penalty.
In reaching a decision on whether to make one- to four-family investment loans, we consider the net operating income of the property, the borrowers expertise and credit history, the global cash flow of the borrowers and the value of the underlying property. We generally require that the properties securing these real estate loans have debt service coverage ratios (the ratio of earnings before debt service to debt service) of at least 1.20 times. Generally, one- to four-family real estate loans made to business entities require the principals to execute the loan agreements in their individual capacity, as well as signing on behalf of such business entity.
A commercial borrowers financial information is monitored on an ongoing basis by requiring periodic financial statement updates, payment history reviews and periodic face-to-face meetings with the borrower, except for existing amortizing loan relationships less than $250,000. We require commercial borrowers to provide annually updated financial statements and federal tax returns. These requirements also apply to the individual principals of our commercial borrowers. We also require borrowers with rental investment property to provide an annual report of income and expenses for the property, including a rent roll and copies of leases, as applicable. The largest one- to four-family investment property loan in our portfolio at December 31, 2012 was an $870,000 loan collateralized by a residential property located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts. This loan was performing according to its terms at December 31, 2012.
Loans secured by one- to four-family investment properties generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by one- to four-family investment properties are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.
Multi-Family Real Estate Loans. We originate commercial real estate loans on multi-family properties. The subject properties are non-owner occupied rental properties greater than four units and generally under a business name or in individuals name. At December 31, 2012, multi-family real estate loans totaled $5.3 million, which amounted to 2.9% of total loans. Our real estate underwriting policies provide that such loans may be made in amounts of up to 80% of the appraised value of the property, provided such loan complies with our loans-to-one borrower limit for these types of loans. We generally target multi-family loans with balances up to $2.5 million. At December 31, 2012, our average multi-family real estate loan had a balance of $594,000. Our loans for multi-family real estate properties may be made with terms of up to 10 years with an amortization of up to 25 years and are offered with interest rates that are fixed or adjust periodically and are generally indexed to Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advance rates. When possible these loans provide for a pre-payment penalty.
In reaching a decision on whether to make multi-family real estate loans, we consider the net operating income of the property, the borrowers expertise and credit history, the global cash flow of the borrowers and the value of the underlying property. We generally require that the properties securing these real estate loans have debt service coverage ratios of at least 1.20 times. Environmental surveys may be required for multi-family real estate loans. Generally, multi-family real estate loans made to business entities require the principals to execute the loan agreements in their individual capacity, as well as signing on behalf of such business entity.
A commercial borrowers financial information is monitored on an ongoing basis by requiring periodic financial statement updates, payment history reviews and periodic face-to-face meetings with the borrower, except for existing amortizing loan relationships less than $250,000. We require commercial borrowers to provide annually updated financial statements and federal tax returns. These requirements also apply to the individual principals of our commercial borrowers. We also require borrowers with rental investment property to provide an annual report of income and expenses for the property, including a rent roll and copies of leases, as applicable. The largest multi-family real estate loan in our portfolio at December 31, 2012 was a $1.7 million loan collateralized by a seven unit multi-family property located in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. This loan was performing according to its terms at December 31, 2012.
Loans secured by multi-family real investment loans generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by multi-family real investment properties are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.
Commercial Business Loans. At December 31, 2012, we had $8.7 million in commercial business loans, which amounted to 4.8% of total loans. We make commercial business loans in our primary lending market area to a variety of professionals, sole proprietorships and small businesses. Commercial lending products include term loans and revolving lines of credit. The maximum amount of a commercial business loan is limited by our loans-to-one-borrower limit, which was $3.9 million at December 31, 2012. Such loans are generally used for short and long-term working capital purposes such as purchasing inventory, equipment or furniture. Commercial business loans are made with either adjustable or fixed-rates of interest and fixed maturity or lines of credit. Variable rates are generally based on the prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus a margin. Fixed-rate commercial business loans are set either at a margin above the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston comparable advance rate or the prime rate swap curve. When making commercial business loans, we consider the financial statements of the borrower, our lending history with the borrower, the debt service capabilities of the borrower, the projected cash flows of the business and the value of the collateral, if applicable. Commercial business loans are generally secured by a variety of collateral, primarily accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, and we also require the business principals to execute such loans in their individual capacities. Depending on the amount of the loan and the collateral used to secure the loan, commercial business loans are generally made in amounts of up to 80% of the value of the collateral securing the loan. Commercial business loans generally have greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans. Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrowers ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans generally are made on the basis of the borrowers ability to repay the loan from the cash flow of the borrowers business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value. We seek to minimize these risks through our underwriting standards. At December 31, 2012, our largest outstanding commercial business loan and line of credit was a $1.0 million line of credit with an outstanding balance of $999,000, which was secured by commercial real estate and business assets located in Essex County, Massachusetts. This loan was performing according to its terms at December 31, 2012.
Construction Loans. We originate construction loans for the development of one- to four and multi-family residential properties and non-residential properties located in our primary lending market area to experienced local developers and to individuals for the construction of their personal residences. At December 31, 2012, one- to four-family residential construction loans amounted to $7.4 million, or 4.1% of total loans. At December 31, 2012, the unadvanced portion of these residential construction loans totaled $2.4 million. At December 31, 2012, construction loans collateralized by multi-family properties totaled $3.7 million, or 2.0% of total loans. The unadvanced portion of these construction loans totaled $3.7 million at December 31, 2012. Construction loans collateralized by non-residential properties totaled $1.2 million, or 0.6% of total loans. The unadvanced portion of these construction loans totaled $2.2 million at December 31, 2012.
Our one- to four and multi-family residential construction loans generally provide for the payment of interest only during the construction phase, which is usually 12 months. We originate one- to four and multi-family residential construction loans with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 90% for single unit owner occupied construction projects, provided that the borrower obtains private mortgage insurance on the loan if the loan balance exceeds 80% of the appraised value or sales price, whichever is less, of the secured property. The maximum loan-to-value on two- to four and multi-family residential properties is 80% of the appraised value or sales price, whichever is less, of the secured property. Before making a commitment to fund a one- to four or multi-family residential construction loans, we require an appraisal on the property by an independent licensed appraiser. We also review and inspect each property before disbursement of funds during the term of the construction loan. Loan proceeds are disbursed after inspection based on the percentage of completion method. At December 31, 2012, the largest outstanding one- to four-family residential construction loan commitment was for $840,000 for the construction of two residential condominium units located in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, $200,000 of which was outstanding. This loan was performing according to its terms at December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2012, the largest multi-family construction loan commitment was for a $1.7 million property, located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, $414,000 of which was outstanding. This loan was performing according to its terms at December 31, 2012.
To a lesser extent, our construction loan projects include apartment, retail and office buildings, and strip malls. These loans generally have an interest-only phase during construction and are generally set at a fixed-rate. Disbursement of funds is at our sole discretion and is based on independent third-party inspections of the progress of construction. The maximum loan-to-value ratio limit applicable to these loans is generally 80%. At December 31, 2012, the largest non-residential construction loan commitment was for $1.5 million collateralized by land, located in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, $569,000 of which was outstanding. This loan was performing according to its terms at December 31, 2012.
Construction and development financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of 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 funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Additionally, if the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project, when completed, having a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment.
The maximum amount of a construction loan is limited by our loans-to-one-borrower limit, which was $3.9 million at December 31, 2012.
Consumer Loans. We offer consumer loans to customers residing in our primary lending market area with acceptable credit ratings. Our consumer loans generally consist of loans on new and used automobiles, loans secured by deposit accounts and unsecured personal loans. Consumer loans totaled $414,000 or 0.2% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2012.
Largest Lending Relationship. At December 31, 2012, our largest lending relationship was a $3.3 million commercial real estate loan. At December 31, 2012, this loan was performing in accordance with its terms.
Origination, Participation and Servicing of Loans. Lending activities are conducted primarily by our loan personnel operating at our main and branch office locations. All loans we originate are underwritten pursuant to our policies and procedures. We originate both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans. Our ability to originate fixed or adjustable-rate loans depends upon the relative customer demand for such loans, which is affected by the current and expected future levels of market interest rates. From time to time, we will participate in loans, sometimes as the lead lender. Whether we are the lead lender or not, we underwrite our participation portion of the loan according to our own underwriting criteria and procedures. At December 31, 2012, we had $2.5 million in loan participation interests in which we were the lead bank and $2.6 million in loan participation interests in which we were the participating bank. In July 2012 the Bank purchased, as an extension of our residential loan origination activities, 13 single-family and one condominium, first-lien, primary residence, jumbo residential loans totaling $9.9 million with a weighted average yield of 4.16% and a weighted average maturity of 28.2 years. Additionally, in November 2012 the Bank purchased nine single-family and one condominium, first-lien, primary residence, jumbo residential loans totaling $7.5 million with a weighted average yield of 3.66% and a weighted average maturity of 28.5 years. All of the loans are located in Massachusetts and were underwritten to the Banks normal underwriting standards prior to purchase. The purchases were executed as a means of deploying excess cash that has built up over the past several quarters, primarily due to commercial and construction loan payoffs. Our primary emphasis continues to be the origination of commercial loans.
Historically, we have generally retained in our portfolio and serviced all loans that we originated. However, in accordance with our strategic plan, we began selling primarily longer-term, fixed rate residential mortgage loans in the secondary market in January 2009. It is expected that a majority of future residential loan originations will be sold on a servicing-retained basis. Loan servicing includes collecting and remitting loan payments, accounting for principal and interest, contacting delinquent mortgagors, supervising foreclosures and property dispositions in the event of unremedied defaults, making certain insurance and tax payments on behalf of the borrowers and generally administering the loans. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we originated $99.2 million of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate one- to four-family loans, $36.7 million of which were placed in our portfolio.
The following table shows our loan originations and repayment activities for the periods indicated.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. Our lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by Georgetown Banks Board of Directors. The loan approval process is intended to assess the borrowers ability to repay the loan, the viability of the loan, and the adequacy of the value of the collateral that will secure the loan. To assess the borrowers ability to repay, we review the employment and credit history and information on the historical and projected income and expenses of borrowers.
Our policies and loan approval limits are established by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has designated certain individuals of Georgetown Bank (ranging from senior management to senior loan underwriter) (the Designated Individuals) to consider and approve loans within their designated authority. Loans in amounts above the authorized limits of the Designated Individuals and loans outside of the designated authority of the Designated Individuals require the approval of our Loan Committee. The Loan Committee consists of three non-employee directors and four employees of Georgetown Bank. All loans that are approved by the Designated Individuals are reviewed and ratified by the Loan Committee and the full Board of Directors.
With regard to the lending authority of the Designated Individuals, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President and Chief Lending Officer, and our Vice President/Senior Commercial Lender each possess individual authority to approve all residential types of credit in amounts up to $750,000. Our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President/Chief Lending Officer may approve all residential types of credits in amounts up to $1.0 million on a combined basis. Our President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Lending Officer and Vice President/Senior Commercial Lending Officer each possess individual authority to approve all commercial types of credit in amounts up to $750,000. The Vice President/Commercial Loan Officer possesses individual authority to approve all commercial types of credit in amounts up to $250,000. Our President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Lending Officer may also approve all commercial types of credits in amounts up to $1.0 million on a combined basis. Our Assistant Vice President and Retail Lending Manager possesses individual authority to approve one- to four-family mortgage loans that meet the eligibility requirements for sale to Fannie Mae on the secondary mortgage market.
We typically require appraisals of all real property securing loans. Appraisals are performed by independent licensed appraisers. All appraisers are approved by the Board of Directors annually. We require fire and extended coverage insurance in amounts at least equal to the principal amount of the loan.
Non-performing and Problem Assets
We commence collection efforts when a loan becomes ten days past due with system generated reminder notices. Subsequent late charge and delinquent notices are issued and the account is monitored on a regular basis thereafter. Personal, direct contact with the borrower is attempted early in the collection process as a courtesy reminder and later to determine the reason for the delinquency and to safeguard the collateral. When a loan is more than 60 days past due, the credit file is reviewed and, if deemed necessary, information is updated or confirmed and collateral re-evaluated. We make every effort to contact the borrower and develop a plan of repayment to cure the delinquency. All loans 30 days past due are reported to the Loan Committee and the Board of Directors. Upon direction of the Loan Committee, if no repayment plan is in process, the file is referred to counsel for the commencement of foreclosure or other collection efforts.
Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when they are 90 days or more delinquent, unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. When loans are placed on a non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reserved, and further income is recognized only to the extent cash payments are received.
Non-Performing Loans and Non-Performing Assets. At December 31, 2012, $3.2 million, or 1.75%, of our total loans were non-performing loans. These loans consisted of five loans to four individual borrowers. All of these loans are secured by real estate.
The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of our non-performing assets at the dates indicated. Delinquent loans that are 90 days or more past due are generally considered non-performing assets.

At December 31, 2012, the non-accrual residential mortgage loans consisted of two one- to four-family residential real estate loans with aggregate principal balances of $658,000 and two home equity loans with aggregate principal balance of $412,000. The non-accrual commercial loan consisted of one commercial real estate loan with a principal balance of $2.2 million and an outstanding recorded investment of $2.1 million. This loan was modified in December 2012 and is current as of December 31, 2012; however the loan is on non-accrual status until consistent, timely payments have been received for several consecutive months.
At December 31, 2012, non-accrual loans totaled $3.2 million (five loans). For the year ended December 31, 2012, gross interest income that would have been recorded had the non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $192,000. Interest income recognized on all non-performing loans for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $59,000.

Potential problem loans are loans that are currently performing and are not included in non-accrual loans above, but may be delinquent. These loans require an increased level of management attention, because we have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present loan repayment terms and as a result such loans may be included at a later date in non-accrual loans. At December 31, 2012, $1.7 million, or 0.92% of total loans, had been identified as potential problem loans, none of which are delinquent.
Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide that loans and other assets of lesser quality should be classified 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 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 classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. We designate an asset as special mention if the asset has a potential weakness that warrants managements close attention.
On the basis of managements review of our assets, at December 31, 2012, we had classified $4.9 million of our assets as substandard, which consisted of 12 loans, three of which have been restructured. These loans consisted of two one- to four-family residential real estate loans with total principal balances of $658,000, three home equity loans with total principal balances of $444,000, four commercial real estate loans with total principal balances of $3.6 million and three commercial business loans with total principal balances of $167,000. At December 31, 2012, we had valuation allowances of $347,000 related to the loans classified as substandard. At December 31, 2011, we had designated $747,000 of our assets as special mention, which consisted of three loans to two separate borrowers. At December 31, 2011, we had classified $7.8 million of our assets as substandard, which consisted of 14 loans, one of which had been restructured. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had no loans classified as doubtful or loss. The loan portfolio is reviewed on a regular basis to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. Not all classified assets constitute non-performing assets.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a monthly basis by management and is based upon managements monthly review of the collectibility of the loans in light of known and inherent risks in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. Additionally, as part of the evaluation of the level of the allowance for loan losses, on a quarterly basis management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including, but not limited to, charge-off history, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance for loan losses consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance for loan losses is established when the discounted cash flows or the fair value of the existing collateral (less cost to sell) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component may be maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect managements estimate of probable losses.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank 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. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.
As described above, we periodically may agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring. All troubled debt restructurings are initially classified as impaired.
Adjustable-rate mortgage loans decrease the risk associated with changes in market interest rates by periodically repricing, but involve other risks because, as interest rates increase, the underlying payments by the borrower increase, thus increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustment of the contractual interest rate is also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents and, therefore, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgage loans may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates.
Loans secured by commercial real estate, multi-family and one- to four-family investment properties, generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate, including multi-family and one- to four-family investment properties, are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.
Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrowers ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans generally are made on the basis of the borrowers ability to repay the loan from the cash flow of the borrowers business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value.
Construction and development financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of 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 funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Additionally, if the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project, when completed, having a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment.
The following table sets forth activity in our allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

Management establishes provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial statements. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses quarterly, management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including, but not limited to, charge-off history, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we revised our methodology to identify more categories that have increased risk based on their specific loan type or adverse ratings. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
Historically, our loan portfolio has primarily consisted of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. The composition of our loan portfolio has gradually changed in recent years to include more one- to four-family residential investment properties, multi-family, commercial real estate and commercial business loans. In addition, our current strategic plan calls for increases in these loans. Managements evaluation of the allowance for loan losses, the composition of the loan portfolio and increased risk associated with multi-family, commercial real estate and commercial business loans (because they present larger non-homogeneous credits and because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic conditions) may result in larger additions to the allowance for loan losses in future periods.
Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary, based on estimates that are susceptible to change as a result of changes in economic conditions and other factors. In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as an integral part of its examination process, will periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agency may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance, based on its judgments about information available to it at the time of its examination.
Investments
The Investment Policy is reviewed annually by management and any changes to the policy are recommended to and are subject to the approval of our Board of Directors. Authority to make investments under the approved Investment Policy guidelines is delegated to appropriate officers. While general investment strategies are developed by the Asset/Liability Committee and authorized by the Board of Directors, the execution of specific actions rests with our President and Chief Executive Officer or our Chief Financial Officer, who may act individually or jointly. Our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are both responsible for ensuring that the guidelines and requirements included in the Investment Policy are followed and that all securities are considered prudent for investment. Each of these individuals is authorized to execute investment transactions (purchases and sales) up to $2.0 million per transaction without the prior approval of the Executive Committee and within the scope of the established Investment Policy. Each transaction in excess of $2.0 million must receive prior approval of the Executive Committee. All investment transactions are reviewed at regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee is comprised of our Chairman, Vice Chairman and five other non-employee directors.
Federally chartered savings institutions have authority to invest in various types of assets, including government-sponsored enterprise obligations, securities of various federal agencies, residential mortgage-backed securities, certain certificates of deposit of insured financial institutions, overnight and short-term loans to other banks, corporate debt instruments and debt instruments of municipalities.
We invest in residential mortgage-backed securities, all of which are guaranteed by United States Government agencies and government-sponsored enterprise obligations. At December 31, 2012, the amortized cost of our residential mortgage-backed securities portfolio totaled $9.5 million, or 4.5% of total assets, and included $8.7 million in fixed-rate and $800,000 in adjustable-rate securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae. Securities are classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale at the date of purchase. At December 31, 2012, we owned $2.9 million in Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston stock. As a member of Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, we are required to purchase stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, an amount of which is based on our level of outstanding borrowings.
The following table sets forth the amortized cost and fair value of our securities portfolio at the dates indicated.

Sources of Funds
General. Deposits have traditionally been our primary source of funds for use in lending and investment activities. We also use borrowings, primarily Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston borrowings and to a lesser extent brokered deposits, to supplement cash flow needs, lengthen the maturities of liabilities for interest rate risk purposes and to manage the cost of funds. In addition, funds are derived from scheduled loan payments, investment maturities, loan prepayments, loan sales, retained earnings and income on earning assets. While scheduled loan payments and income on earning assets are relatively stable sources of funds, deposit inflows and outflows can vary widely and are influenced by prevailing interest rates, market conditions and levels of competition.
Deposits. Our deposits are generated primarily from residents within our primary deposit market area, as 86.9% of total deposits at December 31, 2012, were from the Essex County market. Our strategic plan includes a greater emphasis on developing commercial business activities, both deposit and lending customer relationships. We offer a selection of deposit accounts, including demand accounts, NOW accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts and certificates of deposit. Deposit account terms vary, with the principal differences being the minimum balance required, the amount of time the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate. We have used brokered deposits in the past and it is anticipated that their future use could increase. As of December 31, 2012, brokered deposits totaled $696,000.
Interest rates paid, 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 rates, liquidity requirements, rates paid by competitors and growth goals. Personalized customer service and long-standing relationships with customers are relied upon to attract and retain deposits.
The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market and other prevailing interest rates and competition. The variety of deposit accounts offered allows us to be competitive in obtaining funds and responding to changes in consumer demand. Based on experience, we believe that our deposits are relatively stable. However, the ability to attract and maintain deposits and the rates paid on these deposits, has been and will continue to be significantly affected by market conditions. At December 31, 2012, $43.8 million, or 28.3% of our deposit accounts were certificates of deposit, of which $24.9 million had maturities of one year or less.
The following table sets forth the distribution of total deposits by account type and related weighted average rates, at the dates indicated.

(1) Represents borrowings with original maturities of less than one year.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are funds borrowed from customers on an overnight basis that are secured by government-sponsored enterprises. The amount of securities collateralizing the agreements to repurchase is reflected in securities and the obligation to repurchase securities sold is reflected as a liability on our consolidated balance sheets. The Bank discontinued the use of securities sold under agreements to repurchase during 2012.
Subsidiary Activities
Georgetown Securities Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Georgetown Bank established in 1995 as a Massachusetts securities corporation for the purpose of buying, selling and holding securities on its own behalf. The income earned on Georgetown Securities Corporations securities is subject to a significantly lower rate of state tax than that assessed on income earned on securities maintained at Georgetown Bank. At December 31, 2012, Georgetown Securities Corporation had total assets of $9.0 million, all of which were in securities and cash to be invested.
Expense and Tax Allocation
Georgetown Bank has entered into an agreement with the Company to provide it with certain administrative support services for compensation not less than the fair market value of the services provided. In addition, Georgetown Bank and the Company have entered into an agreement to establish a method for allocating and for reimbursing the payment of their consolidated tax liability.
Personnel
As of December 31, 2012, we had 49 full-time employees, four part-time employees and three seasonal employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group. Management believes that we have good working relations with our employees.
FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION
Federal Taxation
General. The Company, Georgetown Bank and Georgetown Security Corporation file combined federal tax returns. In March 2011, Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, Georgetown Federal, Georgetown Bank and Georgetown Security Corporation changed their tax year from June 30 to December 31. This change became effective with the December 31, 2011 tax returns. Georgetown Banks federal tax returns are not currently under audit, and have not been audited during the past five years.
Method of Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, the Company currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and uses a tax year ending December 31 for filing its federal and state income tax returns.
Bad Debt Reserves. Georgetown Bank is permitted to establish a reserve for bad debts and to make annual additions to the reserve. These additions can, within specified formula limits, be deducted in arriving at our taxable income. Pursuant to the Small Business Protection Act of 1996 (the 1996 Act), savings institutions were required to recapture any excess reserves over those established as of October 31, 1988 (base year reserve).
Taxable Distributions and Recapture. Prior to the 1996 Act, bad debt reserves created prior to November 1, 1988 were subject to recapture into taxable income should Georgetown Bank fail to meet certain thrift asset and definitional tests. Federal legislation has eliminated these thrift related recapture rules.
At December 31, 2012, our total federal pre-1988 base year reserve was $723,000. However, under current law, pre-1988 base year reserves remain subject to recapture should Georgetown Bank make certain non-dividend distributions, repurchase any of its stock, pay dividends in excess of tax earnings and profits, or cease to maintain a bank charter.
Alternative Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code imposes an alternative minimum tax (AMT) at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences (alternative minimum taxable income or AMTI). The AMT is payable to the extent such AMTI is in excess of an exemption amount and the AMT exceeds the regular income tax. Net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of AMTI. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years.
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 December 31, 2012, Georgetown Bank had no net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
Capital Loss Carryovers. A financial institution may carry back capital losses to the preceding three taxable years and forward to the succeeding five taxable years. At December 31, 2012, Georgetown Bank had no capital loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes.
Corporate Dividends-Received Deduction. The Company may exclude from its income 100% of dividends received from Georgetown Bank as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations. The corporate dividends-received deduction is 80% in the case of dividends received from corporations in which a corporate recipient owns more than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend, and corporations which own less than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend may deduct only 70% of dividends received or accrued on their behalf.
State Taxation
For tax years beginning after December 31, 2008, Georgetown Federal and Georgetown Bank were required to file a combined return pursuant to a Massachusetts law change enacted in July 2008, unless the Company elects security corporation status.
Georgetown Bank files Massachusetts Financial Institution income tax returns and was subject to an annual Massachusetts tax at a rate of 9.0% of its net income for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2012, 9.5% for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2011, 10.0% for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2010, and 10.5% for the fiscal periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Massachusetts net income is defined as gross income from all sources without any exclusions, less the following deductions: all deductions (but not credits) which are allowable under the Internal Revenue Code except for those deductions under the Internal Revenue Code relating to (1) dividends received, (2) losses sustained in other taxable years, and (3) income or franchise taxes imposed by any state in the United States or a political subdivision.
The Company is required to file a Massachusetts income tax return and is generally subject to a state income tax rate that is the same rate as the tax rate for financial institutions in Massachusetts. However, if the Company meets certain requirements, it may be eligible to be taxed as a Massachusetts securities corporation. Bank holding companies that are so classified are subject to a state tax rate of 0.33% of their gross income. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has not applied for security corporation status, as there is an immaterial amount of state taxable income.
Georgetown Securities Corporation is taxed as a Massachusetts securities corporation, and is subject to a state tax rate of 1.32% of its gross income.
On July 3, 2008, the financial institution tax rate was lowered from 10.5% to 10.0% for years beginning in 2010, 9.5% for years beginning in 2011, and 9.0% for years beginning in 2012 and thereafter. Therefore, the tax rate used to compute the deferred tax asset was reduced for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, which resulted in a reduction in the net deferred tax asset of $15,000.
As a Maryland business corporation, the Company files an annual report with and pays franchise taxes to the state of Maryland.
The state tax returns of Georgetown Federal, Georgetown Bancorp, Inc., Georgetown Bank and Georgetown Securities Corporation are not currently under audit, and have not been audited during the past five years.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
General
Georgetown Bank is a federally chartered savings bank that is regulated, examined and supervised by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. 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 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations deposit insurance fund and depositors, and not for the protection of security holders. Under this system of federal 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. Georgetown Bank also is regulated to a lesser extent by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or Federal Reserve Board, governing reserves to be maintained against deposits and other matters. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency examines Georgetown Bank and prepares reports for the consideration of its Board of Directors on any operating deficiencies. Georgetown Banks 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 Georgetown Banks loan documents. Georgetown Bank is also a member of and owns stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, which is one of the twelve regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System.
As a savings and loan holding company, the Company is required to comply with the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. It is also required to file certain reports with and is subject to examination by and the enforcement authority of the Federal Reserve Board. The Company is also subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws.
Any change in applicable laws or regulations, whether by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and Georgetown Bank and their operations.
Set forth below is a brief description of material regulatory requirements that are or will be applicable to Georgetown Bank and the Company. The description is limited to certain material aspects of the statutes and regulations addressed and is not intended to be a complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effects on Georgetown Bank.
Dodd-Frank Act
The Dodd-Frank Act significantly changed the bank regulatory structure and will affect the lending, investment, trading and operating activities of depository institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated our primary federal regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision, as of July 21, 2011, and required Georgetown Bank to be supervised and examined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the primary federal regulator for national banks. On the same date, the Federal Reserve Board assumed regulatory jurisdiction over savings and loan holding companies, in addition to its role of supervising bank holding companies.
The Dodd-Frank Act also created a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with expansive powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 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 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 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, such as Georgetown Bank, will continue to be examined by their applicable federal bank regulators. The legislation gives state attorneys general the ability to enforce applicable federal consumer protection laws.
The Dodd-Frank Act also broadened the base for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments for deposit insurance, permanently increased the maximum amount of deposit insurance to $250,000 per depositor and provided non-interest bearing transaction accounts with unlimited deposit insurance through December 31, 2012. The legislation also, among other things, requires originators of certain securitized loans to retain a portion of the credit risk, stipulates regulatory rate-setting for certain debit card interchange fees, repealed restrictions on the payment of interest on commercial demand deposits and contains a number of reforms related to mortgage originations. The Dodd-Frank Act increased shareholder influence over boards of directors by requiring companies to give shareholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation and so-called golden parachute payments. The legislation also directs the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to company executives, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded or not.
Many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to delayed effective dates and/or require the issuance of implementing regulations. Their impact on operations cannot yet fully be assessed. However, there is a significant possibility that the Dodd-Frank Act will, in the long run, increase regulatory burden, compliance costs and interest expense for Georgetown Bank and the Company.
Business Activities
A federal savings bank derives its lending and investment powers from the Home Owners Loan Act, as amended, and the regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Under these laws and regulations, Georgetown Bank may originate mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial real estate, commercial business loans and consumer loans, and it may invest in certain types of debt securities and certain other assets. Certain types of lending, such as commercial and consumer loans, are subject to aggregate limits calculated as a specified percentage of Georgetown Banks capital or assets. Georgetown Bank also may establish subsidiaries that may engage in a variety of activities, including some that are not otherwise permissible for Georgetown Bank, including real estate investment and securities and insurance brokerage.
The Dodd-Frank Act removed federal statutory restrictions on the payment of interest on commercial demand deposit accounts, effective July 21, 2011.
Loans-to-One-Borrower
We generally may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of our unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. An additional amount may be lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus, if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which is defined to include certain financial instruments and bullion, but generally does not include real estate. As of December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with our loans-to-one-borrower limitations.
Qualified Thrift Lender Test
We are required to satisfy a qualified thrift lender (QTL) test, under which we either must qualify as a domestic building and loan association as defined by the Internal Revenue Code or maintain at least 65% of our portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments. Qualified thrift investments consist primarily of residential mortgages and related investments, including mortgage-backed and related securities. Portfolio assets generally means total assets less specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets, goodwill and other intangible assets and the value of property used to conduct business. A savings institution that fails the qualified thrift lender test must operate under specified restrictions. The Dodd-Frank Act made noncompliance with the QTL test also subject to agency enforcement action for a violation of law. As of December 31, 2012, we maintained 82.8% of our portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments and, therefore, we met the qualified thrift lender test.
Standards for Safety and Soundness
Federal law requires each federal banking agency to prescribe for insured depository institutions under its jurisdiction standards relating to, among other things, internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, employee 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 submit or implement an acceptable plan, the appropriate federal banking agency may issue an enforceable order requiring correction of the deficiencies.
Capital Requirements
Federal regulations require savings institutions to meet three minimum capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital ratio, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS rating system) and an 8% risk-based capital ratio. In addition, the prompt corrective action standards discussed below also establish, in effect, a minimum 2% tangible capital standard, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS financial institution rating system) and, together with the risk-based capital standard itself, a 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital standard. Federal regulations also require that in meeting the tangible, leverage and risk-based capital standards, institutions must generally deduct investments in and loans to subsidiaries engaged in activities as principal that are not permissible for a national bank.
The risk-based capital standard for savings institutions requires the maintenance of Tier 1 (core) and total capital (which is defined as core capital and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 4% and 8%, respectively. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of 0% to 100%, assigned by capital regulations based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Core capital is defined as common shareholders equity (including retained earnings), certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles other than certain mortgage servicing rights and credit card relationships. The components of supplementary capital currently include cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock, the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, and up to 45% of unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. Overall, the amount of supplementary capital included as part of total capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital. Additionally, a savings institution that retains credit risk in connection with an asset sale may be required to maintain additional regulatory capital because of the recourse back to the savings bank. In assessing an institutions capital adequacy, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency takes into consideration not only these numeric factors but also qualitative factors as well, and has the authority to establish higher capital requirements for individual associations where necessary. Additionally, a savings bank that retains credit risk in connection with an asset sale may be required to maintain additional regulatory capital because of the recourse back to the savings bank.
On June 6, 2012, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a series of proposed rules to revise their risk-based and leverage capital requirements and their method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with the agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems (Basel III). The proposed rules would apply to all depository institutions, top-tier bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $500 million or more, and top-tier savings and loan holding companies (banking organizations). Among other things, the proposed rules establish a new common equity tier 1 minimum capital requirement and a higher minimum tier 1 capital requirement, and assign higher risk weightings (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The proposed rules also limit a banking organizations capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a capital conservation buffer consisting of a specified amount of common equity tier 1 capital in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The proposed rules indicated that the final rules would become effective on January 1, 2013, and the changes set forth in the final rules would be phased in from January 1, 2013 through January 1, 2019. However, the federal bank regulatory agencies have recently indicated that, due to the volume of public comments received, the implementation of the final rule would be delayed past January 1, 2013.
At December 31, 2012, Georgetown Bank met each of its capital requirements.
Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action
Under federal Prompt Corrective Action statute, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required to take supervisory actions against undercapitalized savings institutions under its jurisdiction, the severity of which depends upon the institutions level of capital. A savings institution that has total risk-based capital of less than 8% or a leverage ratio or a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that generally is less than 4% is considered to be undercapitalized. A savings institution that has total risk-based capital less than 6%, a Tier 1 core risk-based capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage ratio that is less than 3% is considered to be significantly undercapitalized. A savings institution that has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less than 2% is deemed to be critically undercapitalized.
Generally, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required to appoint a receiver or conservator for a savings institution that is critically undercapitalized within specific time frames. The regulations also provide that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency within 45 days of the date a savings institution receives notice that it is undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized. Any holding company for the savings institution required to submit a capital restoration plan must guarantee the lesser of an amount equal to 5% of the savings institutions assets at the time it was notified or deemed to be undercapitalized by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or the amount necessary to restore the savings institution to adequately capitalized status. This guarantee remains in place until the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency notifies the savings institution that it has maintained adequately capitalized status for each of four consecutive calendar quarters, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has the authority to require payment and collect payment under the guarantee. Various restrictions, such as on capital distributions and growth, also apply to undercapitalized institutions. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency may also take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions against undercapitalized institutions, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors.
The recently proposed rules that would increase regulatory capital requirements would adjust the prompt corrective action categories accordingly.
Capital Distributions
Federal regulations restrict capital distributions by savings institutions, which include cash dividends, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the capital account of a savings institution. A federal savings institution must file an application with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for approval of the capital distribution if:
· the total capital distributions for the applicable calendar year exceeds the sum of the institutions net income for that year to date plus the institutions retained net income for the preceding two years that is still available for dividend;
· the institution would not be at least adequately capitalized following the distribution;
· the distribution would violate any applicable statute, regulation, agreement or written regulatory condition; or
· the institution is not eligible for expedited review of its filings (i.e., generally, institutions that do not have safety and soundness, compliance and Community Reinvestment Act ratings in the top two categories or fail a capital requirement).
A savings institution that is a subsidiary of a holding company, which is the case with Georgetown Bank, must file a notice with the Federal Reserve Board at least 30 days before the board of directors declares a dividend or approves a capital distribution.
Applications or notices may be denied if the institution will be undercapitalized after the dividend, the proposed dividend raises safety and soundness concerns or the proposed dividend would violate a law, regulation enforcement order or regulatory condition.
In the event that a savings institutions capital falls below its regulatory requirements or it is notified by the regulatory agency that it is in need of more than normal supervision, its ability to make capital distributions would be restricted. In addition, any proposed capital distribution could be prohibited if the regulatory agency determines that the distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.
Transactions with Related Parties
A savings institutions authority to engage in transactions with related parties or affiliates is limited by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and its implementing regulation, Federal Reserve Board Regulation W. The term affiliate generally means any company that controls or is under common control with an institution, including the Company and its non-savings institution subsidiaries. Applicable law limits the aggregate amount of covered transactions with any individual affiliate, including loans to the affiliate, to 10% of the capital and surplus of the savings institution. The aggregate amount of covered transactions with all affiliates is limited to 20% of the savings institutions capital and surplus. Certain covered transactions with affiliates, such as loans to or guarantees issued on behalf of affiliates, are required to be secured by specified amounts of collateral. Purchasing low quality assets from affiliates is generally prohibited. Regulation W also provides that transactions with affiliates, including covered transactions, must be on terms and under circumstances, including credit standards, that are substantially the same or at least as favorable to the institution as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated companies. In addition, savings institutions are prohibited by law from lending to any affiliate that is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and no savings institution may purchase the securities of any affiliate other than a subsidiary.
Our authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors and 10% or greater shareholders (insiders), as well as entities controlled by these persons, is governed by Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and its implementing regulation, Federal Reserve Board Regulation O. Among other things, loans to insiders must be made on terms substantially the same as those offered to unaffiliated individuals and not involve more than the normal risk of repayment. There is an exception for bank-wide lending programs that do not discriminate in favor of insiders. Regulation O also places individual and aggregate limits on the amount of loans that may be made to insiders based, in part, on the institutions capital position, and requires that certain prior board approval procedures be followed. Extensions of credit to executive officers are subject to additional restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be made. At December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with these regulations.
Enforcement
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has primary enforcement responsibility over federal savings institutions, including the authority to bring enforcement action against institution-related parties, including officers, directors, certain shareholders, and attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on an insured institution. Formal enforcement action may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers and/or directors of the institution, receivership, conservatorship or the termination of deposit insurance. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and actions, and range up to $25,000 per day, unless a finding of reckless disregard is made, in which case penalties may be as high as $1.0 million per day.
Deposit Insurance
Georgetown Bank is a member of the Deposit Insurance Fund, which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Deposit accounts in Georgetown Bank are insured up to a maximum of $250,000 for each separately insured depositor. In addition, certain non-interest-bearing transaction accounts are fully insured, regardless of the dollar amount, until December 31, 2012.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation imposes an assessment for deposit insurance on all depository institutions. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations risk-based assessment system, insured institutions are assigned to risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other factors. An institutions assessment rate depends upon the category to which it is assigned and certain adjustments specified by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations, with less risky institutions paying lower rates. Assessment rates (inclusive of possible adjustments) currently range from 2 ½ to 45 basis points of each institutions total assets less tangible capital. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may increase or decrease the scale uniformly, except that no adjustment can deviate more than two basis points from the base scale without notice and comment rulemaking. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations current system represents a change, required by the Dodd-Frank Act, from its prior practice of basing the assessment on an institutions volume of deposits.
In addition to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments, the Financing Corporation is authorized to impose and collect, through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, assessments for anticipated payments, issuance costs and custodial fees on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation in the 1980s to recapitalize the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds issued by the Financing Corporation are due to mature in 2017 through 2019. For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the annualized Financing Corporation assessment was equal to 0.66 basis points of total assets less tangible capital.
The Dodd-Frank Act increased the minimum target Deposit Insurance Fund ratio from 1.15% of estimated insured deposits to 1.35% of estimated insured deposits. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation must seek to achieve the 1.35% ratio by
September 30, 2020. Insured institutions with assets of $10 billion or more are supposed to fund the increase. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated the 1.5% maximum fund ratio, instead leaving it to the discretion of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has exercised that discretion by establishing a long-term fund ratio of 2%.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to increase insurance assessments. Any significant increases would have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of Georgetown Bank. Management cannot predict what assessment rates will be in the future.
Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 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 FDIC. Management of Georgetown Bank does not know of any practice, condition or violation that may lead to termination of our deposit insurance.
Federal Home Loan Bank System
Georgetown 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 Boston, we are required to acquire and hold a specified amount of shares of capital stock in Federal Home Loan Bank.
Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws
Savings institutions have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act and related regulations to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. An institutions failure to comply with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in regulatory restrictions on certain activities such as branching and acquisitions. Georgetown Bank received a Satisfactory Community Reinvestment Act rating in its most recent examination.
Other Regulations
Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by Georgetown Bank are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. Georgetown Banks 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;
· Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, requiring that borrowers for mortgage loans for one- to four-family residential real estate receive various disclosures, including good faith estimates of settlement costs, lender servicing and escrow account practices, and prohibiting certain practices that increase the cost of settlement services;
· 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.
The operations of Georgetown Bank 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, which governs 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 21st 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 Act, which requires banks and savings institutions to, among other things, establish broadened anti-money laundering compliance programs and due diligence policies and controls to ensure the detection and reporting of money laundering. Such required compliance programs are intended to supplement pre-existing compliance requirements that apply 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 and requires all financial institutions offering products or services to retail customers to provide such customers with the financial institutions privacy policy and allow such customers the opportunity to opt out of the sharing of certain personal financial information with unaffiliated third parties.
Holding Company Regulation
General. The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board has enforcement authority over the Company and its non-savings institution subsidiaries. Among other things, that authority permits the Federal Reserve Board to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a risk to Georgetown Bank.
As a savings and loan holding company, the Companys activities will be limited to those activities permissible by law for financial holding companies or multiple savings and loan holding companies. A financial holding company may engage in activities that are financial in nature, incidental to financial activities or complementary to a financial activity. Such activities include lending activities, insurance and underwriting equity securities. The Dodd-Frank Act added that any savings and loan holding company that engages in activities permissible for a financial holding company must meet the qualitative requirements for a bank holding company to be a financial holding company and conduct the activities in accordance with the requirements that would apply to a financial holding companys conduct of the activity.
Federal law prohibits a savings and loan holding company, directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, from acquiring more than 5% of another savings institution or savings and loan holding company without prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Board and from acquiring or retaining control of any depository not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Federal Reserve Board must consider such things as the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the federal deposit insurance fund, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive factors. An acquisition by a savings and loan holding company of a savings institution in another state to be held as a separate subsidiary may not be approved unless it is a supervisory acquisition under Section 13(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or the law of the state in which the target is located authorizes such acquisitions by out-of-state companies.
Savings and loan holding companies have not historically been subjected to consolidated regulatory capital requirements. However, the Dodd-Frank Act requires the Federal Reserve Board to set for all depository institution holding companies minimum consolidated capital levels that are as stringent as those required for the insured depository subsidiaries. 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, which would exclude instruments such as trust preferred securities and cumulative preferred stock. Instruments issued before May 19, 2010 are grandfathered for companies of consolidated assets of $15 billion or less. Bank holding companies with assets of less than $500 million are exempt from the consolidated capital requirements, but it is not known at this time whether such an exemption will apply to savings and loan holding companies. Holding companies that were not regulated by the Federal Reserve Board as of May 19, 2010 receive a five year phase-in from the July 21, 2010 date of enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act. As noted above, the recently proposed capital rules would implement the consolidated capital requirements for savings and loan holding companies. However,
notwithstanding the Dodd-Frank statutory language, the proposed rules did not incorporate the referenced grandfather for instruments issued before May 19, 2010 or the transition period, and it is uncertain whether any final rule will do so.
The Dodd-Frank Act extends the source of strength doctrine to savings and loan holding companies. The regulatory agencies must promulgate regulations implementing the source of strength policy that requires holding companies act as a source of strength to their subsidiary depository institutions by providing capital, liquidity and other support in times of financial stress.
The Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement regarding the payment of dividends and the repurchase of shares of common stock by bank holding companies that it has made applicable to savings and loan holding companies as well. In general, the policy provides 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 organizations 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 companys net income for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid over that period, is insufficient to fully fund the dividend or the companys overall rate of earnings retention is inconsistent with the companys capital needs and overall financial condition. The ability of a holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary bank becomes undercapitalized. The policy statement also provides for regulatory review prior to a holding company redeeming or repurchasing regulatory capital instruments when the holding company is experiencing financial weaknesses or redeeming or repurchasing common stock 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.
Federal Securities Laws
The Companys common stock is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of shares of common stock issued in the offering did not cover the resale of those shares. Shares of common stock purchased by persons who are not affiliates of the Company may be resold without registration. Shares purchased by an affiliate of the Company are subject to the resale restrictions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. If the Company meets the current public information requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, each affiliate of the Company that complies with the other conditions of Rule 144, including those that require the affiliates sale to be aggregated with those of other persons, would be able to sell in the public market, without registration, a number of shares not to exceed, in any three-month period, the greater of 1.0% of the outstanding shares of the Company, or the average weekly volume of trading in the shares during the preceding four calendar weeks. In the future, the Company may permit affiliates to have their shares registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted to address, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. Under Section 302(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company are required to certify that its quarterly and annual reports filed with the SEC do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. Rules promulgated under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act require that these officers certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of our internal controls; they have made certain disclosures to our auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors about our internal controls; and they have included information in our quarterly and annual reports about their evaluation and whether there have been significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls. The Company has existing policies, procedures and systems designed to comply with these regulations, and is further enhancing and documenting such policies, procedures and systems to ensure continued compliance with these regulations.
Change in Control Regulations
Under the Change in Bank Control Act, no person may acquire control of a savings and loan holding company such as the Company unless the Federal Reserve Board has been given 60 days prior written notice and has not issued a notice disapproving the proposed acquisition, taking into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the competitive effects of the acquisition.
In addition, federal regulations provide that no company may acquire control of a savings and loan holding company without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board. Any company that acquires such control becomes a savings and loan
holding company subject to registration, examination and regulation by the Federal Reserve Board. Control, as defined under federal law, means ownership, control of or holding irrevocable proxies representing more than 25% of any class of voting stock, control in any manner of the election of a majority of the institutions directors, or a determination by the regulator that the acquiror has the power to direct, or directly or indirectly to exercise a controlling influence over, the management or policies of the institution. Acquisition of more than 10% of any class of a savings and loan holding companys voting stock constitutes a rebuttable determination of control under the regulations under certain circumstances including where, as will be the case with the Company, the issuer has registered securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Historically low interest rates may adversely affect our net interest income and profitability.
In recent years it has been the policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain interest rates at historically low levels through its targeted federal funds rate and the purchase of mortgage-backed securities. As a result, interest rates on the loans we have originated and the yields on securities we have purchased have been at historically low levels. As a general matter, our interest-bearing liabilities reprice or mature more quickly than our interest-earning assets, which has resulted in increases in net interest income in the short term. However, our ability to lower our interest expense is limited at these interest rate levels while the average yield on our interest-earning assets may continue to decrease. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has indicated its intention to maintain low interest rates in the near future. Accordingly, our net interest income (the difference between interest income earned on assets and interest expense paid on liabilities) may decrease, which may have an adverse affect on our profitability. For information with respect to changes in interest rates, see Changes in interest rates could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our emphasis on commercial lending may expose us to increased lending risks, which could hurt our profits.
We originate commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans and residential investment property loans generally within our primary lending market area. These loans, which totaled $58.1 million, or 31.9% of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2012, generally have a higher risk of loss compared to our one- to four-family residential real estate loans. Commercial business loans and commercial real estate loans may expose us to greater credit risk than our loans secured by residential real estate because the collateral securing these loans may not be sold as easily as residential real estate. In addition, commercial business loans and commercial real estate loans may also involve relatively large loan balances to individual borrowers or groups of borrowers. These loans also have greater credit risk than residential real estate for the following reasons:
· commercial business loans - repayment is generally dependent upon the successful operation of the borrowers business.
· commercial real estate loans - repayment is dependent on income being generated in amounts sufficient to cover operating expenses and debt service.
· residential investment property loans (one- to four-family and multi-family) repayment is dependent on income being generated in amounts sufficient to cover property maintenance and debt service.
In addition, if loans that are collateralized by real estate become troubled and the value of the real estate has been significantly impaired, then we may not be able to recover the full contractual amount of principal and interest that we anticipated at the time we originated the loan, which could cause us to increase our provision for loan losses and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Also, the collateral underlying commercial business loans may fluctuate in value. Some of our commercial business loans are collateralized by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable or other business assets, and the liquidation of collateral in the event of default is often an insufficient source of repayment because accounts receivable may be uncollectible and inventories may be obsolete or of limited use.
Our construction lending may expose us to increased lending risks, which could hurt our profits.
At December 31, 2012, we had $12.2 million of construction loans, representing 6.7% of our total loan portfolio at that date. These loans generally have a higher risk of loss compared to our one- to four-family residential real estate loans. Construction lending involves additional risks because of the inherent difficulty in estimating a propertys value both before and at completion of the project. Construction costs may exceed original estimates as a result of increased materials, labor or other costs. In addition, because of current uncertainties in the residential and commercial real estate markets, property values have become more difficult to determine than they have been historically. Repayment of construction loans often depends on the ability of the borrower to sell or lease the property. These loans also require ongoing monitoring.
Our level of non-performing loans increased to $3.2 million, or 1.75% of total loans at December 31, 2012 from $3.1 million, or 1.92% of total loans at December 31, 2011. Such continued increases could result in charge-offs or provisions for loan losses that are higher than our historical levels. See If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings could decrease.
A significant portion of our loan portfolio consists of recently originated or purchased loans.
Our commercial loan portfolio (including commercial and multi-family real estate loans, residential investment property loans, and business loans and construction loans) has grown to $70.3 million at December 31, 2012 from $24.0 million at June 30, 2006. Additionally, our residential loan portfolio (including home equity loans) has grown to $111.1 million at December 31, 2012 from $79.7 million at December 31, 2011. It is difficult to assess the future performance of these recently originated loans. As a result, these loans may have delinquency or charge-off levels above our historical experience, which could adversely affect our future performance.
Our business may be adversely affected by continued weak conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions generally and locally.
Recent economic conditions have resulted in continued uncertainty in the financial markets and continued expectations of weak general economic conditions. The resulting economic pressure on consumers and businesses has adversely affected our business, financial condition and results of operations. The credit quality of loan and investment securities portfolios has deteriorated at many financial institutions and the values of real estate collateral supporting many commercial loans and home mortgages have declined and may continue to decline. Financial companies stock prices have been negatively affected, as has the ability of banks and bank holding companies to raise capital or borrow in the debt markets. A continuation or worsening of these conditions could result in reduced loan demand and further increases in loan delinquencies, loan losses, loan loss provisions, costs associated with monitoring delinquent loans and disposing of foreclosed property, and otherwise negatively affect our operations, financial condition and earnings. Further, a decline in the stock market in general, or for stocks of financial institutions and their holding companies, could affect our stock performance.
Our local economy may affect our future growth possibilities and operations in our primary market area. Our future growth opportunities depend on the growth and stability of our regional economy and our ability to expand our market area. In addition, nearly all of our loans are to customers in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and particularly Essex County. Continued weak conditions in our local economy may limit funds available for deposit and may negatively affect our borrowers ability to repay their loans on a timely basis, both of which could have an impact on our profitability. Also, a decline in real estate valuations in this market would lower the value of the collateral securing our loans.
Income from secondary mortgage market operations is volatile, and we may incur losses or charges with respect to our secondary mortgage market operations which would negatively affect our earnings.
We generally sell in the secondary market the longer term fixed-rate residential mortgage loans that we originate, earning non-interest income in the form of gains on sale. When interest rates rise, the demand for mortgage loans tends to fall and may reduce the number of loans available for sale. In addition to interest rate levels, weak or deteriorating economic conditions also tend to reduce loan demand. Although we sell loans in the secondary market without recourse, we are required to give customary representations and warranties to the buyers. If we breach those representations and warranties, the buyers can require us to repurchase the loans and we may incur a loss on the repurchase. Because we generally retain the servicing rights on the loans we sell in the secondary market, we are required to record a mortgage servicing right asset, which we test quarterly for impairment. The value of mortgage servicing rights tend to increase with rising interest rates and to decrease with falling interest rates. If we are required to take an impairment charge, that would hurt our earnings.
If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings could decrease.
If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings could decrease. Our loan customers may not repay their loans according to their terms and the collateral securing the payment of these loans may be insufficient to pay any remaining loan balance. We therefore may experience significant loan losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. At December 31, 2012, our allowance for loan losses totaled $1.8 million, or 0.98% of total loans and 56.06% of non-performing loans at that date.
Material additions to our allowance for loan losses also would materially decrease our net income, and the charge-off of loans may cause us to increase the allowance. We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of our loan portfolio,
including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of our loans. We rely on our experience and our evaluation of economic conditions, among other factors, in determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses. If our assumptions prove to be incorrect, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover losses inherent in our loan portfolio, resulting in additions to our allowance.
Changes in interest rates could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our profitability depends substantially on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on our interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid on our interest-bearing liabilities. Increases in interest rates may decrease loan demand (which would also decrease our ability to generate non-interest income through the sale of loans into the secondary market and related fees for continuing to service those sold loans) and make it more difficult for borrowers to repay adjustable-rate loans. In addition, as market interest rates rise, we will have competitive pressures to increase the rates we pay on deposits. Because an increase in rates we pay on deposits would be expected to be faster than an increase in the yields we earn on our interest-earning assets, such an increase would be expected to result in a decrease of our net interest income.
We also are subject to reinvestment risk associated with changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect the average life of loans and mortgage-related securities. Decreases in interest rates can result in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities, as borrowers refinance to reduce borrowing costs. Under these circumstances, we are subject to reinvestment risk to the extent that we are unable to reinvest the cash received from such prepayments at rates that are comparable to the rates on existing loans and securities.
We operate in a highly regulated environment, and changes in laws and regulations to which we are subject may adversely affect our results of operations.
Georgetown Bank is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as its chartering authority, and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as the insurer of its deposits up to certain limits. In addition, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System regulates and oversees the Company. We also belong to the Federal Home Loan Bank system and, as a member of such system, we are subject to certain limited regulations promulgated by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. This regulation and supervision limits the activities in which we may engage. The purpose of regulation and supervision is primarily to protect our depositors and borrowers and, in the case of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulation, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations insurance fund. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in the exercise of their supervisory and enforcement powers. They may, among other things, impose restrictions on the operation of a banking institution, the classification of assets by such institution and such institutions allowance for loan losses. Regulatory and law enforcement authorities also have wide discretion and extensive enforcement powers under various consumer protection and civil rights laws, including the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. Any change in the laws or regulations applicable to us, or in banking regulators supervisory policies or examination procedures, whether by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, other state or federal regulators, or the U.S. Congress could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Government responses to economic conditions may adversely affect our operations, financial condition and earnings.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act), among other things, has and will change the bank regulatory framework, created an independent Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that has assumed the consumer protection responsibilities of the various federal banking agencies, and established more stringent capital standards for banks and bank holding companies. The legislation will also result in new regulations affecting the lending, funding, trading and investment activities of banks and bank holding companies. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions such as Georgetown Bank, including the authority to prohibit unfair, deceptive or abusive acts and practices. Banks and savings institutions with $10.0 billion or less in assets, such as Georgetown Bank, will continue to be examined by their applicable bank regulators. The new legislation also weakens the federal preemption available for national banks and federal savings associations, and gives state attorneys general the ability to enforce applicable federal consumer protection laws. The Dodd-Frank Act also requires the federal banking agencies to promulgate rules requiring mortgage lenders to retain a portion of the credit risk related to sold loans. Such rules would be expected to reduce our ability to sell loans into the secondary market. Bank regulatory agencies also have been responding aggressively to concerns and adverse trends identified in examinations. Ongoing uncertainty and adverse developments in the financial services industry and the domestic and international credit markets, and the effect of new legislation and regulatory actions in response to these conditions, may adversely affect our operations by restricting our business activities, including our ability to originate or sell loans, modify loan terms, or foreclose on property securing loans. These measures are likely to increase our costs of doing business and increase our costs related to regulatory compliance, and may have a significant adverse effect on our lending activities, financial performance and
operating flexibility. In addition, these risks could affect the performance and value of our loan and investment securities portfolios, which also would negatively affect our financial performance.
Furthermore, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in an attempt to help the overall economy, has, among other things, kept interest rates low through its targeted federal funds rate and the purchase of mortgage-backed securities. If the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System increases the federal funds rate, overall interest rates will likely rise, which may negatively affect the housing markets and the U.S. economic recovery. In addition, deflationary pressures, while possibly lowering our operating costs, could have a significant negative effect on our borrowers, especially our business borrowers, and the values of underlying collateral securing loans, which could negatively affect our financial performance.
Strong competition within our market area may limit our growth and profitability.
Competition in the banking and financial services industry within our market area is intense. In our market area we compete with commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage brokerage firms, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, and brokerage and investment banking firms operating locally and elsewhere. Many of these competitors have substantially greater resources and lending limits than we have and offer certain services that we do not or cannot provide. Our profitability depends upon our continued ability to successfully compete in our market area. The greater resources and broader range of deposit and loan products offered by our competition may limit our ability to increase our interest-earning assets and profitability. We expect competition to remain intense in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry. Technological advances, for example, have lowered barriers to entry, allowed banks to expand their geographic reach by providing services over the Internet and made it possible for non-depository institutions to offer products and services that traditionally have been provided by banks. Competition for deposits and the origination of loans could limit our ability to successfully implement our business plan, and could adversely affect our results of operations in the future.
The expiration of unlimited Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance on certain non-interest-bearing transaction accounts may increase our costs and reduce our liquidity levels.
On December 31, 2012, unlimited Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance on certain non-interest-bearing transaction accounts expired. Unlimited insurance coverage did not apply to money market deposit accounts or negotiable order of withdrawal accounts. The reduction in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance on other types of accounts to the standard $250,000 maximum amount may cause depositors to place such funds in fully insured interest-bearing accounts, which would increase our costs of funds and negatively affect our results of operations, or may cause depositors to withdraw their deposits and invest uninsured funds in investments perceived as being more secure, such as securities issued by the United States Treasury. This may reduce our liquidity, or require us to pay higher interest rates to maintain our liquidity by retaining deposits.
If our investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston is classified as other-than-temporarily impaired, our earnings and/or stockholders equity could decrease and our liquidity position could be negatively impacted.
We own common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. We are required to hold this stock in order to qualify for membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank System and to be eligible to borrow funds under the Federal Home Loan Bank of Bostons advance program. The aggregate cost of our Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston common stock as of December 31, 2012 was $2.9 million based on its par value. There is no market for our Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston common stock.
Published reports indicate that several banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System may be subject to asset quality and other risks that could adversely affect its regulatory capital level. In an extreme situation, it is possible that the capital of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston could be substantially diminished or reduced to zero. Consequently, we believe that there may be a risk that our investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston common stock could be deemed other-than-temporarily impaired at some time in the future and if this occurs, it would cause our earnings and shareholders equity to decrease by the after-tax amount of the impairment charge. Furthermore, a reduction in capital of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston would have a significant adverse impact on our liquidity as we have relied on borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston to fund a portion of our operations and as a source of liquidity.
Changes in the structure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (GSEs) and the relationship among the GSEs, the federal government and the private markets, or the conversion of the current conservatorship of the GSEs into receivership, could result in significant changes to our securities portfolio.
The GSEs are currently in conservatorship, with its primary regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, acting as conservator. We cannot predict if, when or how the conservatorships will end, or any associated changes to the GSEs business
structure that could result. We also cannot predict whether the conservatorships will end in receivership. There are several proposed approaches to reform the GSEs which, if enacted, could change the structure of the GSEs and the relationship among the GSEs, the government and the private markets, including the trading markets for agency conforming mortgage loans and markets for mortgage-related securities in which we participate. We cannot predict the prospects for the enactment, timing or content of legislative or rulemaking proposals regarding the future status of the GSEs. Accordingly, there continues to be uncertainty regarding the future of the GSEs, including whether they will continue to exist in their current form. GSE reform, if enacted, could result in a significant change and adversely impact our business operations.
We rely on our management team for the successful implementation of our business strategy.
We depend on our executive officers and key personnel to continue the implementation of our long-term business strategy and could be harmed by the loss of their services. We believe that our continued growth and future success will depend in large part upon the skills of our management team. The competition for qualified personnel in the financial services industry is intense, and the loss of our key personnel or an inability to continue to attract, retain and motivate key personnel could adversely affect our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our existing key personnel or attract additional qualified personnel. Although we have employment agreements with our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the loss of the services of one or more of our executive officers and key personnel could impair our ability to continue to develop our business strategy.
Risks associated with system failures, interruptions, or breaches of security could negatively affect our earnings.
Information technology systems are critical to our business. We use various technology systems to manage our customer relationships, general ledger, securities, deposits, and loans. We have established policies and procedures to prevent or limit the impact of system failures, interruptions, and security breaches, but such events may still occur and may not be adequately addressed if they do occur. In addition any compromise of our systems could deter customers from using our products and services. Although we rely on security systems to provide security and authentication necessary to effect the secure transmission of data, these precautions may not protect our systems from compromises or breaches of security.
In addition, we outsource a majority of our data processing to certain third-party providers. If these third-party providers encounter difficulties, or if we have difficulty communicating with them, our ability to adequately process and account for transactions could be affected, and our business operations could be adversely affected. Threats to information security also exist in the processing of customer information through various other vendors and their personnel.
The occurrence of any system failures, interruption, or breach of security could damage our reputation and result in a loss of customers and business thereby subjecting us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or could expose us to litigation and possible financial liability. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our risk management framework may not be effective in mitigating risk and reducing the potential for significant losses.
Our risk management framework is designed to minimize risk and loss to us. We seek to identify, measure, monitor, report and control our exposure to risk, including strategic, market, liquidity, compliance and operational risks. While we use a broad and diversified set of risk monitoring and mitigation techniques, these techniques are inherently limited because they cannot anticipate the existence or future development of currently unanticipated or unknown risks. Recent economic conditions and heightened legislative and regulatory scrutiny of the financial services industry, among other developments, have increased our level of risk. Accordingly, we could suffer losses as a result of our failure to properly anticipate and manage these risks.
Various factors may make takeover attempts more difficult to achieve.
Provisions of the Companys articles of incorporation and bylaws, federal regulations, Georgetown Banks federal stock charter, Maryland law, shares of restricted stock and stock options that we have granted or may grant to employees and directors, stock ownership by our management and directors and employment agreements that we have entered into with our executive officers, and various other factors may make it more difficult for companies or persons to acquire control of the Company without the consent of our board of directors. You may want a takeover attempt to succeed because, for example, a potential acquiror could offer a premium over the then prevailing price of our common stock.
Our ability to pay dividends is substantially dependent on capital distributions from Georgetown Bank and these distributions are subject to regulatory limits and other restrictions.
We may not be able to pay dividends in the future. We are dependent primarily upon the Bank for our earnings and funds to pay dividends on our common stock. The payment of dividends also is subject to legal and regulatory restrictions. Any payment of
dividends in the future will depend, in large part, on the Banks earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors considered relevant by our Board of Directors.

Dividend payments by the Company are dependent primarily on dividends it receives from the Bank, because the Company has no source of funding other than dividends from the Bank, interest payments with respect to the Companys loan to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan and any cash balances available at the Company. In addition, the Company is subject to state law limitations on the payment of dividends. Maryland law generally limits dividends if the corporation would not be able to pay its debts in the usual course of business after giving effect to the dividend or if the corporations total assets would be less than the corporations total liabilities plus the amount needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights on dissolution are superior to those receiving the distribution.
Equity Compensation Plans. Other than our employee stock ownership plan, we do not have any equity compensation plans that were not approved by stockholders. The following table sets forth information with respect to the Companys equity compensation plans at December 31, 2012.

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. There has been no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The internal control process has been designed under our supervision to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Companys financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, utilizing the framework established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 is effective.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, transactions and dispositions of assets; and provide reasonable assurances that: (1) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; (2) receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
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.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to revised rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.
None.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
This Annual Report contains certain forward-looking statements that may be identified by the use of words such as believe, expect, anticipate, should, planned, estimated and potential. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, estimates with respect to our financial condition, results of operations and business that are subject to various factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates and most other statements that are not historical in nature. These factors include, but are not limited to, general and local economic conditions, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, demand for mortgage and other loans, real estate values, competition, changes in accounting principles, policies, or guidelines, changes in legislation or regulation or regulatory policies and procedures, and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services. Because of this and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.
Overview
Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, investment securities and other interest-earning assets (primarily cash equivalents), and the interest paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of accounts, NOW accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit and borrowings. Our results of operations also are affected by our provisions for loan losses, non-interest income and non-interest expense. Non-interest income consists of fees and service charges, mortgage banking income, income from bank-owned life insurance and miscellaneous other income. In recent periods, mortgage banking has become a more significant source of non-interest income due to the volume of loan refinancing and our strategic objective to expansion our mortgage banking operation. Non-interest expense consists primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing, professional fees, advertising and other administrative expenses.
Our results of operations also may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Additionally, because our lending activity is concentrated in loans secured by residential and commercial real estate located in the Essex and Suffolk counties, Massachusetts region and southern New Hampshire, downturns in this regional economy could have a negative impact on our earnings.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $948,000, which was $63,000, or 6.2% below 2011. Net income was negatively affected by a compression of net interest income, which totaled $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The provision for loan losses decreased $749,000, to $200,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012, as the provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2011 included a $698,000 charge-off relating to one large, out-of-market home equity loan. Non-interest income increased $1.0 million, or 103.3%, primarily due to an increase in mortgage banking income, driven by an increase in the volume of refinancing activity. Non-interest expense increased $927,000, or 13.8%, primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits and advertising expenses.
We do not originate subprime, Alt-A or option ARM residential mortgage loans. All of our mortgage-backed securities have been issued by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae, which are U.S. Government agencies or Government-sponsored enterprises. These entities guarantee the payment of principal and interest on our mortgage-backed securities. We do not own any common or preferred stock issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
Business Strategy
Our principal objective is to build long-term value for our stockholders by operating a profitable community bank dedicated to meeting the banking needs of our customers. Our board of directors has sought to accomplish this objective with a strategy designed to increase profitability, while maintaining a strong capital position and high asset quality. We cannot assure you that we will successfully implement our business strategy.
Highlights of our business strategy are as follows:
· Continuing to emphasize the origination of commercial loans. In recent years, we have diversified our lending activities by increasing our origination of commercial and multi-family real estate loans, residential (one- to four-family) investment property loans and commercial business loans. We have established a fully staffed commercial loan department that includes two commercial loan officers, a credit manager and analyst, a commercial loan assistant, and a commercial loan servicing representative. We intend to focus on the origination of more permanent, longer term loans that will help us establish more profitable relationships with our borrowers and grow our core deposit base. The additional capital recently raised will further increase our ability to originate commercial loans. However, originating more one- to four-family investment property, multi-family, commercial real estate and commercial business loans exposes us to increased risks.
· Continuing to emphasize core deposit growth to reduce our funding costs. Our balance of demand deposit accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts and money market deposits, which we consider core deposits, has continued to increase. We intend to continue to increase core deposits by cross-selling existing customers and establishing new relationships. With our continued focus on building commercial loan and deposit service relationships, we will continue to seek lower cost core deposits primarily in the form of our commercial demand deposit and money market accounts. Additionally, we will continue to promote the growth of retail core deposits through the continued marketing of our retail checking accounts.
· Maintaining high asset quality through conservative underwriting and aggressive monitoring of our assets. We have emphasized maintaining strong asset quality by following conservative underwriting criteria, and primarily originating loans secured by real estate, and when appropriate, guaranteed by state or government programs like the U.S. Small Business Administration. In the current economic environment, we intend to continue to aggressively monitor our loan portfolio.
We use an outside loan review firm to review a majority of our commercial loan portfolio on an annual basis. This review provides management with an objective third-party analysis of the quality of our commercial loan portfolio. In addition, we conduct periodic reviews of individual commercial credits and meet periodically, in person and at their place of business, with our commercial customers in order to stay abreast of any and all issues that may affect the quality of the credit relationship. In light of the poor residential real estate market since 2008, we have also conducted multiple reviews of our home equity line of credit portfolio to determine the effect of the housing market on the quality of this portion of our loan portfolio. We plan to continue this practice annually. We will continue to emphasize strong asset quality as we further diversify our loan portfolio. Our ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 1.59%, at December 31, 2012 and 2011.
· Expanding our secondary mortgage marketing capabilities. We have successfully developed a mortgage banking operation, as we sold $60.9 million in residential loans in the secondary market during the year ended December 31, 2012, generating $1.3 million in net mortgage banking income. The loans we sold consisted primarily of one- to four-family residential real estate loans with terms of 15 years or more and were primarily sold on a servicing retained basis, which has allowed us to maintain customer relationships for future cross-selling opportunities. Selling these longer-term loans also assists us in managing interest rate risk and provides us with added liquidity to fund our commercial lending activity. We expect to have a greater emphasis in this activity in the future as, among other things, we intend to expand our residential mortgage origination staff and our geographic locations.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assumptions made by management and that have, or could have, a material impact on our income or the carrying value of our assets. Our critical accounting policies are those related to our allowance for loan losses and deferred income taxes.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a monthly basis by management and is based upon managements monthly review of the collectibility of the loans in light of known and inherent risks in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. Additionally, as part of the evaluation of the level of the allowance for loan losses, on a quarterly basis management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including, but not limited to, charge-off history, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance for loan losses consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance for loan losses is established when the discounted cash flows or the fair value of the existing collateral (less cost to sell) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component may be maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect managements estimate of probable losses.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank 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. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.
We periodically may agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring. All troubled debt restructurings are initially classified as impaired.
Adjustable-rate mortgage loans decrease the risk associated with changes in market interest rates by periodically repricing, but involve other risks because, as interest rates increase, the underlying payments by the borrower increase, thus increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustment of the contractual interest rate is also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents and, therefore, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgage loans may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates.
Loans secured by commercial real estate, multi-family and one- to four-family investment properties, generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate, including multi-family and one- to four-family investment properties, are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.
Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrowers ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans generally are made on the basis of the borrowers ability to repay the loan from the cash flow of the borrowers business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value.
Construction and development financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of 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 funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to
protect the value of the property. Additionally, if the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project, when completed, having a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment.
Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when, based upon the available evidence including historical and projected taxable income, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2012 and 2011
Total assets increased $12.2 million, or 6.1%, to $211.6 million at December 31, 2012 from $199.4 million at December 31, 2011. The increase resulted from primarily from increases in residential loans and securities, partially offset by a decrease in construction loans and cash and cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $12.3 million to $6.8 million at December 31, 2012 from $19.1 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents resulted primarily from the funding of residential loan purchases made during the year and to a lesser extent residential loan originations.
Our securities portfolio excluding Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock increased $3.3 million, or 50.5%, to $9.8 million at December 31, 2012 from $6.5 million at December 31, 2011. The growth of our securities portfolio has been moderate, as we have made limited purchases of securities in the current low-yield environment.
Loans (excluding loans held for sale) increased $19.5 million, or 12.1%, to $180.6 million at December 31, 2012 from $161.1 million at December 31, 2011, due primarily to the purchase and origination of residential jumbo loans and increases in commercial real estate loans, partially offset by decreases in construction and commercial loans. Residential one- to four-family loans increased $32.9 million, or 52.6%, to $95.5 million at December 31, 2012 from $62.6 million at December 31, 2011. In July 2012 the Bank purchased, as an extension of our residential loan origination activities, 13 single-family and one condominium, first-lien, primary residence, jumbo residential loans totaling $9.9 million with a weighted average yield of 4.16% and a weighted average maturity of 28.2 years. Additionally, in November 2012 the Bank purchased nine single-family and one condominium, first-lien, primary residence, jumbo residential loans totaling $7.5 million with a weighted average yield of 3.66% and a weighted average maturity of 28.5 years. All of the loans are located in Massachusetts and were underwritten to the Banks normal underwriting standards prior to purchase. The purchases were executed as a means of deploying excess cash that has built up over the past several quarters, primarily due to commercial and construction loan payoffs. Our primary emphasis continues to be the origination of commercial loans. Despite the current competitive market, we have decided to maintain our historically high underwriting standards instead of relaxing these standards and we have not reduced loan rates below levels at which we could not operate profitably. Commercial real estate loans increased $7.3 million, or 28.9%, to $32.7 million at December 31, 2012 from $25.4 million at December 31, 2011. Construction loans decreased $11.0 million, or 47.5%, to $12.2 million at December 31, 2012 from $23.2 million at December 31, 2011, as residential housing units continued to be sold. The significant majority of our construction loans remain collateralized by residential real estate (90.5% at December 31, 2012 and 97.3% at December 31, 2011). Commercial loans collateralized by residential properties decreased $7.2 million, or 30.0%, to $16.7 million at December 31, 2012 from $23.9 million at December 31, 2011. Commercial business loans decreased $1.5 million, or 14.6%, to $8.7 million at December 31, 2012 from $10.1 million at December 31, 2011.
Deposits increased $3.4 million, or 2.2%, to $154.4 million at December 31, 2012 from $151.1 million at December 31, 2011. Our continued focus on generating lower-cost core deposits (which we define as non-certificate of deposit accounts) resulted in such core deposits increasing $5.0 million, or 4.7%, to $110.7 million at December 31, 2012 from $105.6 million at December 31, 2011, and such deposits representing 71.7% of our deposit portfolio at December 31, 2012 compared to 69.9% of our deposit portfolio at December 31, 2011.
Total FHLB borrowings decreased $1.5 million, or 6.1%, to $23.6 million at December 31, 2012 from $25.1 million at December 31, 2011, as we used excess cash to pay off maturing Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
Stockholders equity increased $10.2 million, or 50.3%, to $30.6 million at December 31, 2012 from $20.3 million at December 31, 2011. The increase resulted primarily from net proceeds of $9.9 million from the Companys stock
offering and net income of $948,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012, offset by the common stock acquired by the ESOP of $880,000.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
General. Net income decreased $63,000, or 6.2%, to $948,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in net interest income and an increase in non-interest expense, partially offset by an increase in non-interest income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses.
Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income decreased $1.6 million, or 15.5%, to $9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease is primarily due to a change in the mix of the loan portfolio, as higher-yielding construction loans decreased and the new loans we have been originating and purchasing have been at lower interest rates due to continued low market interest rates. Interest income on loans decreased $1.6 million, or 15.8%, to $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, due to a 56 basis point decrease in yield to 5.35% for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 5.91% for the year ended December 31, 2011, as well as a $12.3 million, or 7.0%, decrease in the average balance of loans, to $163.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $175.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Interest and dividend income on investment securities decreased $67,000, or 19.2%, to $282,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $349,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, due to decreases in both the yields earned on investment securities as well as the average balance of investment securities. The growth of our securities portfolio has been moderate, as we have made limited purchases of securities in the current low-yield environment.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $728,000, or 30.1%, to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. We experienced decreases in interest expense on both deposits and borrowings (primarily long-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances). Interest expense on deposits decreased $610,000, or 41.0%, to $876,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, due primarily to a decrease in rates we paid on interest-bearing deposits. The average rate we paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased to 0.64% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 1.12% for the year ended December 31, 2011. We have been able to increase our lower cost core deposits, as described above, while also reducing rates in the current low interest rate environment.
Interest expense on FHLB advances decreased $117,000, or 12.7%, to $811,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $921,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in the average balance, which decreased $3.9 million, or 13.7%, to $25.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $28.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. We have been able to reduce our reliance on borrowings, as we have had excess cash to fund our operations.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $932,000, or 11.2%, to $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our net interest margin decreased 64 basis points, to 3.75% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 4.39% for the year ended December 31, 2011, as the yield we earned on interest-earning assets decreased 106 basis points to 4.61% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 5.67% for the year ended December 31, 2011, while the rate we paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 45 basis points to 1.04% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 1.49% for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our net interest margin may continue to compress in the future due to competitive pricing in our market area.
Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial statements. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses quarterly, management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including but not limited to, charge-off history over a relevant period, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we revised our methodology to identify more categories that have increased risk based on their specific loan type or adverse ratings.
This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. We recorded a $200,000 provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to a $949,000 provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2011. The provision in 2011 included a $698,000 charge-off of one large, out-of-market home equity loan. The provisions recorded resulted in an allowance for loan losses of $1.8 million, or 0.98% of total loans and 178.33% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2012, compared to an allowance for loan losses of $1.8 million, or 1.12% of total loans and 58.22% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2011. The decrease in the allowance as a percentage of total loans reflects the significant increase in residential loans during 2012, which generally require a smaller provision for loss.
Historically, our loan portfolio has primarily consisted of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. The composition of our loan portfolio has gradually changed in recent years to include more multi-family, commercial real estate, investment property and commercial business loans. In addition, we intend to emphasize increased originations of these loans. Managements evaluation of the allowance for loan losses, the composition of the loan portfolio and increased risk associated with multi-family, commercial real estate and commercial business loans (because they present larger non-homogeneous credits and because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic conditions) may result in continued larger additions to the allowance for loan losses in future periods.
To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at December 31, 2012 and 2011. However, future changes in the factors described above, including, but not limited to, actual loss experience with respect to our loan portfolio, could result in material increases in our provisions for loan losses. In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as an integral part of its examination process, will periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agency may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance, based on its judgments about information available to it at the time of its examination.
Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased $1.0 million, or 103.3%, to $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $990,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily from an increase in mortgage banking income. Mortgage banking income increased $953,000, or 265.5%, to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $359,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. We sold $60.9 million of loans during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $19.4 million of such sales for the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily due to a higher level of refinancing activity in 2012. In addition, customer service fees increased $27,000, or 5.1%, to $554,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $527,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $927,000, or 13.8%, totaling $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $505,000, or 13.2%, to $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily due to the fact that we had several positions that were unfilled during 2011 that were replaced at higher salaries during 2012, as well as new staff positions added and an increase of $114,000 in incentive plan expense due to the exceeding of certain incentive targets. Occupancy expense increased $103,000, or 13.3% primarily due to the replacement of on-staff facilities personnel with a more efficient out-sourced solution, as well as repairs made to banking facilities. Data processing expense increased $68,000, or 15.1% primarily due to implementation costs associated with the upgrading of software systems and costs associated with information technology infrastructure upgrades. Advertising expense increased $173,000, or 71.2% primarily due to an increase in media advertisements. Other general and administrative expenses increased $57,000, or 6.2%, primarily due to the costs associated with implementing the detailed tagging phase of the Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) requirement of the Securities and Exchange Commission and expenses associated with using the trade name Georgetown Bank as part of a marketing campaign before formally changing the Banks name in August 2012.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $559,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $583,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The effective income tax rate was 37.1% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 36.5% for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Average Balance Sheet
The following table set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. There were no tax-equivalent yield adjustments made. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees and costs, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately, based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Management of Market Risk
General. The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, our Board of Directors has established a Finance Committee, which 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. Senior management monitors the level of interest rate risk on a regular basis and the Finance Committee meets on a monthly basis to review our asset/liability policies and position, interest rate risk position and to discuss and implement interest rate risk strategies.
We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk: (1) offering a variety of adjustable rate loan products, including adjustable rate one- to four-family, multi-family and non-residential mortgage loans, and short-term consumer loans; (2) offering shorter-term fixed-rate mortgage loans; (3) using alternative funding sources, such as advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston; and (4) deposit pricing strategies and short duration investments. By following these strategies, we believe that we are better positioned to react to changes in market interest rates.
Net Interest Income Simulation. Interest rate risk can result from timing differences in the maturity/repricing of an institutions assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts; the effect of embedded options, such as call or convertible options, loan prepayments, interest rate caps, and deposit withdrawals;
unexpected shifts of the yield curve that affect both the slope and shape of the yield curve and differences in the behavior of lending and funding rates, sometimes referred to as basis risk. Given the potential types and differing related characteristics of interest rate risk, it is important that we maintain an appropriate process and set of measurement tools, which enables us to identify and quantify our sources of interest rate risk. Our primary tool in measuring interest rate risk in this manner is an income simulation model. This model measures the net interest income at risk under various interest rate scenarios. At December 31, 2011 net interest income was measured assuming market interest rates remain unchanged, where rates increased 200 basis points and where rates decreased 100 basis points from current market rates over a one-year time horizon. At December 31, 2012, net interest income was measured assuming market interest rates remain unchanged, where rates increased 300 basis points and where rates decreased 50 basis points from current market rates over a one-year time horizon. Managements decision to utilize different rate shift scenarios at December 31, 2012 as compared to those used at December 31, 2011, is based on the overall lower interest rate environment that existed at December 31, 2012 when compared to December 31, 2011.The changes in net interest income due to changes in market interest rates reflect the rate sensitivity of our interest-bearing assets and liabilities.
The following table presents the estimated changes in net interest income of Georgetown Bank, calculated on a bank-only basis, that would result from changes in market interest rates over twelve-month periods beginning December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurement. Modeling changes in net interest income simulation requires making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the net interest income simulation table presented assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the net interest income simulation table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements 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 will differ from actual results.
Liquidity and 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 and sales of loans and securities. 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.
We regularly review the need to 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. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At December 31, 2012, cash and cash equivalents totaled $6.8 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $8.2 million at December 31, 2012. In addition, at December 31, 2012, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $61.1 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. On that date, we had $23.6 million in advances outstanding.
During 2012, we continued our mortgage banking activities by selling residential loans in the secondary market, primarily on a servicing-retained basis. These activities have a positive effect on liquidity by providing us
with an additional source of funds. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we sold $60.9 million and $19.4 million in residential loans, respectively.
We have no material commitments or demands that are likely to affect our liquidity other than set forth below. In the event loan demand were to increase at a pace greater than expected, or any unforeseen demand or commitment were to occur, we would access our borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had $20.1 million and $6.1 million in loan commitments outstanding, respectively. In addition to commitments to originate loans, at December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had $24.3 million and $18.5 million in unadvanced funds to borrowers, respectively. We also had $25,000 and $125,000 in outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We also had $10.8 million and $3.6 million of forward loan sale commitments at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These forward loan sale commitments were used to offset the interest rate risk associated with mortgage loans, which have had their interest rate locked by our customers. We also had $2.6 million and $769,000 of loans held for sale at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Certificates of deposit due within one year of December 31, 2012 totaled $24.9 million, or 16.2% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit at December 31, 2012. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of securities. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we originated $146.9 million of loans, including $84.4 million of loans to be held in our portfolio, purchased $17.4 million of residential jumbo loans, and purchased $6.1 million of securities. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we originated $75.8 million of loans, including $56.3 million of loans to be held in our portfolio, and purchased $983,000 of securities.
Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. We experienced a net increase in total deposits of $3.4 million and a net decrease of $378,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive. Federal Home Loan Bank advances reflected net decreases of $1.5 million and $6.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Federal Home Loan Bank advances have primarily been used to fund loan demand and purchase securities during periods of lower liquidity.
The net proceeds from the stock offering have increased our liquidity and capital resources. The initial level of liquidity has been reduced, as net proceeds from the stock offering were used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of loans. Our financial condition and results of operations have been enhanced by the net proceeds from the stock offering, resulting in increased net interest-earning assets and net interest income. However, due to the increase in equity resulting from the net proceeds raised in the stock offering, our return on equity will be adversely affected following the stock offering.
Capital
Georgetown Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, 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 December 31, 2012, Georgetown Bank exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements, and was considered well capitalized under regulatory guidelines. See Note 12 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
Georgetown Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, which involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Our exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for all lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon, therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customers credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. Substantially all of these financial instruments, except for unadvanced lines of credit on unsecured personal loans and commercial lines of credit, are secured by real estate.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments we issue to guarantee the performance by a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Our outstanding letters of credit generally have a term of less than one year. If a letter of credit is drawn upon, we may seek recourse through the customers underlying line of credit. If the customers line of credit is also in default, we may take possession of the collateral, if any, securing the line of credit.
In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities, agreements with respect to investments and employment agreements with certain of our executive officers. See Note 14 of the Notes to the Companys consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For information with respect to recent accounting pronouncements that are applicable to the Company, please see Note 2 of the Notes to the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices
The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated financial data presented herein regarding the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which generally require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the Companys assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on the Companys performance than does the effect of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services, because such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest rates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Georgetown Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated 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 Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Georgetown Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
1. CORPORATE STRUCTURE
In conjunction with its reorganization into the mutual holding company structure, on January 5, 2005, Georgetown Bank (the Bank) (1) converted to a stock savings bank as the successor to the Bank in its mutual form; (2) organized Georgetown Bancorp, Inc. (Georgetown Federal), as a federally-chartered corporation that owns 100% of the common stock of the Bank (in stock form); and (3) organized Georgetown Bancorp, MHC as a federally-chartered mutual holding company that owned 56.7% of the Common Stock of Georgetown Federal as of June 30, 2012. On November 28, 2011, the Boards of Directors of Georgetown Federal, Georgetown Bancorp, MHC and the Bank each unanimously adopted a Plan of Conversion or Reorganization of the Mutual Holding Company pursuant to which Georgetown Bancorp, MHC undertook a second-step conversion and now ceases to exist. Georgetown Bancorp, MHC reorganized from a two-tier mutual holding company structure to a fully public stock holding company structure effective July 11, 2012 and, as a result, the Bank is now the wholly-owned subsidiary of Georgetown Bancorp, Inc. (the Company), a newly formed Maryland corporation.
As a result of the second-step conversion, all shares and per share amounts in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and notes to consolidated financial statements have been restated giving retroactive recognition to the second-step exchange ratio of 0.72014-to-one. Options and shares of restricted stock granted under the Companys 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as well as common shares held by the Banks Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) before the second-step conversion, were also exchanged using the exchange ratio of 0.72014-to-one.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation and consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. The Banks financial statements include its wholly-owned subsidiary, Georgetown Securities Corporation, which engages in the buying, selling and holding of securities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Nature of operations
The Company, through the Bank, provides a variety of financial services to individuals and small businesses in the eastern Massachusetts region and southern New Hampshire. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings and term certificate accounts and its primary lending products are residential and commercial mortgage loans.
GEORGETOWN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Segment reporting
Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. Management evaluates the Companys performance and allocates resources based on a single segment concept. Accordingly, there are no separately identified operating segments for which discrete financial information is available. The Company does not derive revenues from, or have assets located in, foreign countries, nor does it derive revenues from any single customer that represents 10% or more of the Companys total revenues.
Use of estimates
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and 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 in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the realizability of deferred tax assets.
Fair value hierarchy
The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value as follows:
Level l - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level l assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market.
Level 2 - Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level l prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2011 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation.
GEORGETOWN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash, amounts due from banks and short-term investments, all of which mature within 90 days, and are carried at cost.
Securities
Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and reflected at amortized cost. Securities classified as available for sale are reflected at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income/loss, net of tax effects.
Purchase premiums and discounts are amortized to earnings by the interest method over the contractual lives of the securities. Gains and losses on sale of securities are recognized on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.
Each reporting period, the Company evaluates all securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity with a decline in fair value below the amortized cost of the investment to determine whether or not the impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary (OTTI).
For debt securities, OTTI is required to be recognized (1) if the Company intends to sell the security; (2) if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. For all impaired debt securities that the Company intends to sell, or more likely than not will be required to sell, the full amount of the depreciation is recognized as OTTI through earnings. Credit-related OTTI for all other impaired debt securities is recognized through earnings. Non-credit related OTTI for such debt securities is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock
As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLB), the Bank is required to invest in $100 par value stock of the FHLB. The FHLB capital structure mandates that members must own stock as determined by their Total Stock Investment Requirement which is the sum of a members Membership Stock Investment Requirement and Activity-Based Stock Investment Requirement. The Membership Stock Investment Requirement is calculated as 0.35% of a members Stock Investment Base, subject to a minimum investment of $10,000 and a maximum investment of $25,000,000. The Stock Investment Base is an amount calculated based on certain assets held by a member that are reflected on call reports submitted to applicable regulatory authorities. The Activity-Based Stock Investment Requirement is calculated as 3.0% for overnight advances, 4.0% for FHLB advances with original terms to maturity of two days to three months and 4.5% for other advances plus a percentage of advance commitments, 0.5% of standby letters of credit issued by the FHLB and 4.5% of the value of intermediated derivative contracts. Management evaluates the Banks investment in FHLB stock for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such

evaluation. Based on its most recent analysis of the FHLB as of December 31, 2012, management deems its investment in FHLB stock to be not other-than-temporarily impaired.
Loans held for sale
Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. Fair value is based on committed secondary market prices.
Loans
The loan portfolio consists of mortgage, business and consumer loans to the Banks customers, principally in the eastern Massachusetts region and southern New Hampshire. The ability of the Banks debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate market and general economic conditions in this area.
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are generally reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for the allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination costs, net of origination fees, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.
The accrual of interest on loans, including impaired loans, is generally recognized on a simple interest basis and is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due, unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loans. Loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Allowance for loan losses
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
GEORGETOWN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Allowance for loan losses (continued)
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a monthly basis by management and is based upon managements monthly review of the collectability of the loans in light of known and inherent risks in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. Additionally, as part of the evaluation of the level of the allowance for loan losses, on a quarterly basis management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including, but not limited to, charge-off history, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance for loan losses consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance for loan losses is established when the discounted cash flows or the fair value of the existing collateral (less cost to sell) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component may be maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect managements estimate of probable losses.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank 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. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.
The Bank periodically may agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). All TDRs are initially classified as impaired.
GEORGETOWN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Allowance for loan losses (concluded)
Adjustable-rate mortgage loans decrease the risk associated with changes in market interest rates by periodically repricing, but involve other risks because, as interest rates increase, the underlying payments by the borrower increase, thus increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustment of the contractual interest rate is also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents and, therefore, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgage loans may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates.
Loans secured by commercial real estate, multi-family and one- to four-family investment properties, generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate, including multi-family and one- to four-family investment properties, are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.
Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrowers ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans generally are made on the basis of the borrowers ability to repay the loan from the cash flow of the borrowers business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value.
Construction and development financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of 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 funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Additionally, if the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project, when completed, having a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment.
Other real estate owned and in-substance foreclosures
Other real estate owned includes properties acquired through foreclosure and properties classified as in-substance foreclosures in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310-40, Receivables Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors. These properties are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. Any write down from cost to estimated fair value required at the time of foreclosure or classification as in-substance foreclosure is charged to the allowance for loan losses.
GEORGETOWN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Other real estate owned and in-substance foreclosures (concluded)
Expenses incurred in connection with maintaining these assets, subsequent write downs and gains or losses recognized upon sale are included in other general and administrative expense.
In accordance with ASC 310-10-35, Receivables - Overall - Subsequent Measurements, the Bank classifies loans as in-substance repossessed or foreclosed if the Bank receives physical possession of the debtors assets regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings take place.
Loan Servicing
The Bank services mortgage loans for others. Mortgage servicing assets are recognized at fair value, as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through sale of financial assets. Initial fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics. Capitalized servicing rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into loan servicing fee income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights by predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rates and terms. Fair value is based on a quarterly, third-party valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual stratum, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for the stratum. Changes in the valuation allowance are reported in loan servicing fee income.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and measured at fair value.
Derivative Loan Commitments
Mortgage loan commitments are referred to as derivative loan commitments if the loan that will result from exercise of the commitment will be held for sale upon funding. Loan commitments that are derivatives are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets in other assets and other liabilities with changes in their fair values recorded in mortgage banking income. Fair value is determined using secondary market pricing, including expected normal servicing rights. In estimating fair value, the Bank assigns a probability to a loan commitment based on an expectation that it will be exercised and the loan will be funded.
Forward Loan Sale Commitments
To protect against the price risk inherent in derivative loan commitments, the Bank utilizes both mandatory delivery and best efforts forward loan sale commitments to mitigate the
GEORGETOWN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Derivative financial instruments (concluded)
risk of potential decreases in the values of loans that would result from the exercise of the derivative loan commitments. Mandatory delivery contracts are accounted for as derivative instruments. Generally, the Banks best efforts contracts meet the definition of derivative instruments when the loans to the underlying borrowers close and are accounted for as derivative instruments at that time. Accordingly, forward loan sale commitments are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets in other assets and other liabilities with changes in their fair values recorded in mortgage banking income.
The Bank estimates the fair value of its forward loan sales commitments using a methodology similar to that used for derivative loan commitments.
Premises and equipment
Land is carried at cost. Buildings, leasehold improvements and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the expected terms of the leases, if shorter. Expected terms include lease option periods to the extent that the exercise of such options is reasonably assured.
Bank-owned life insurance
Bank-owned life insurance policies are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets at cash surrender value. Changes in cash surrender value are reflected in non-interest income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Transfers of financial assets
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
GEORGETOWN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when, based upon the available evidence including historical and projected taxable income, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2012 which require accrual or disclosure.
Income tax benefits related to stock compensation in excess of grant date fair value less any proceeds on exercise are recognized as an increase to additional paid-in capital upon vesting or exercising and delivery of the stock. Any income tax effects related to stock compensation that are less than grant date fair value less any proceeds on exercise would be recognized as a reduction of additional paid in capital to the extent of previously recognized income tax benefits and then through income tax expense for the remaining amount.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
Compensation expense for the ESOP is recorded at an amount equal to the shares committed to be allocated by the ESOP multiplied by the average fair market value of the shares during the period. The Bank recognizes compensation expense ratably over the year based upon the Banks estimate of the number of shares expected to be allocated by the ESOP. Unearned compensation applicable to the ESOP is reflected as a reduction of stockholders equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The difference between the average fair market value and the cost of the shares allocated by the ESOP is recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.
Share-based Compensation Plan
The Company measures and recognizes compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued. Share-based compensation is recognized over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award. Reductions in compensation expense associated with forfeited options are estimated at the date of grant, and this estimated forfeiture rate is adjusted quarterly based on actual forfeiture experience. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted.

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share represents net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. If rights to dividends on unvested options/awards are non-forfeitable, these unvested awards/options are considered outstanding in the computation of basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards and are determined using the treasury stock method.
Unallocated ESOP shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.
Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following:

Comprehensive income
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in operating results. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, are reported as a separate component of the stockholders equity section of the consolidated balance sheets, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditors Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. This ASU provides additional guidance or clarification to help creditors determine whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired, and should measure impairment on those receivables prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Additional disclosures are also required under this ASU. On July 1, 2011 the Company adopted this ASU. Refer to Note 6 Loans and Servicing for further information.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. The objective of this ASU is to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. This ASU prescribes when an entity may or may not recognize a sale upon the transfer of financial assets subject to repurchase agreements. The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operation.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments in this ASU explain how to measure fair value. They do not require additional fair value measurements and are not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operation.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The objective of this ASU is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. Under this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. An entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. An entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is reflected in the statements of comprehensive income.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This ASU is to enhance current disclosures. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual 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 anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will 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 in this update defer those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 are not affected by this update. The amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The required disclosures have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-06, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution. The amendments in this update clarify the applicable guidance for subsequently measuring an indemnification asset recognized as a result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution. For public and nonpublic entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2012. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
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 update do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Loans (continued)
The three loan modifications made during the year ended December 31, 2012 did not result in a material impact to the allowance for loan losses account. The home equity loan was issued to facilitate the borrowers ability to refinance their first mortgage held by the Bank at another financial institution. The refinancing of the first mortgage resulted in the Bank recording a loan loss recovery of $133,000. The modified terms of the commercial real estate loan included the capitalization of past due interest and fees, a rate reduction, and an interest only payment period of one year. In addition, the modification was conditioned upon engaging a third-party property management firm to manage the property. The modified terms for the one- to four-family construction loan included an extension of the maturity date, as well as $35,000 in additional funds in order to complete the project and allow time for the sale of the property. This loan subsequently paid in full during the year according to its modified terms. There are no commitments to lend additional funds to those borrowers whose loans were modified in a TDR as of December 31, 2012.
At December 31, 2012 there were no TDRs in default of their modified terms. At December 31, 2011 there was one TDR loan with a recorded investment of $313,000 in default of its modified terms.

Credit Quality Information
The Bank utilizes a nine grade internal loan rating system for commercial and construction loans as follows:
Loans rated 1 - 5: Loans in these categories are considered pass rated loans with low to average risk and are not formally rated.
Loans rated 6: Loans in this category are considered special mention. These loans have risk profiles that are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.
Loans rated 7: Loans in this category are considered substandard. These loans have a well defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt and is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or pledged collateral. There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Loans rated 8: Loans in this category are considered doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans rated 9: Loans in this category are considered a loss. The loan has been determined to be uncollectible and the chance of loss is inevitable. Loans in this category will be charged-off.
On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Bank formally reviews the ratings on all commercial and construction loans.

Loans serviced for others and mortgage servicing rights
Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of mortgage loans serviced for others were $96,842,000 and $57,948,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The risks inherent in the mortgage servicing assets relate primarily to changes in prepayments that result from shifts in mortgage interest rates. The fair value of servicing rights was $1,099,000 at December 31, 2012 and was determined using the moving average 10-year U.S. Treasury rate plus 5.0%, adjusted to reflect the current credit spreads and conditions in the market, as a discount rate. Prepayment assumptions, which are impacted by loan rates and terms, are calculated using a moving average of prepayment data published by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, an independent third party proprietary analysis of prepayment rates embedded in liquid mortgage securities markets and modeled against the serviced loan portfolio by the independent third party valuation specialist.
The following summarizes mortgage servicing rights capitalized and amortized:

INCOME TAXES (concluded)
The federal income tax reserve for loan losses at the Companys base year is $723,000. If any portion of the reserve is used for purposes other than to absorb loan losses, approximately 150% of the amount actually used (limited to the amount of the reserve) would be subject to taxation in the fiscal year in which it is used. As the Company intends to use the reserve solely to absorb loan losses, a deferred tax liability of $289,000 has not been provided.
Uncertain tax positions
It is the Companys policy to provide for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties based upon managements assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 there were no material uncertain tax positions related to federal and state income tax matters. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities for the years ended June 30, 2009 through December 31, 2012.
12. MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the 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 Banks financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Banks assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Banks capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
As of December 31, 2012, quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to total assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2012, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 2011, quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy required the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined) and tangible capital (as defined) to tangible assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2011, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
GEORGETOWN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (continued)
As of December 31, 2012, the most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Banks category.

Other capital restrictions
Federal banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the capital accounts of the Company and the Bank. Capital distributions in the form of dividends paid to the Banks stockholder for any one year may not exceed the Banks net income for the year to date plus the Banks retained net income for the preceding two years. In addition, dividends paid would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Banks capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements. The Bank and the Company may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount. Refer to Note 18 Liquidation Account Related to Reorganization for further information.
13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Bank has committed to make contributions to the ESOP sufficient to support the debt service of the loan. The loan is secured by the shares purchased, which are held in a suspense account for allocation among the participants as the loan is paid. Total compensation expenses applicable to the ESOP amounted to $75,000 and $56,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Shares held by the ESOP are as follows:

Any cash dividends received on allocated shares would be allocated to members and cash dividends received on shares held in suspense would be used to reduce the Banks annual contribution to the ESOP. The fair value of unallocated ESOP shares at December 31, 2012 and 2011 is $1,110,000 and $207,000, respectively. No dividends have been paid to date by the Company.

Share-based compensation plan
In accordance with the Companys 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company awarded 12,597 stock options and 12,606 shares of restricted stock to eligible participants on February 22, 2012. The 2009 Plan provides for total awards of 180,035 shares of the Companys common stock pursuant to grants of restricted stock awards, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights; provided, however, that shares of stock used to fund stock options greater than 98,000 shares must be obtained through stock repurchases and shares of stock used to fund restricted stock awards greater than 39,200 shares must be obtained through stock repurchases.
The exercise price of each option will be equal to or greater than the market price of the Companys stock on the date of grant and the maximum term of each option is ten years. Vesting periods for options and restricted stock granted to directors and officers are three years and five years, respectively, from the date of grant.
The fair value of the stock options granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

The expected volatility is based on historical volatility. The risk-free interest rates for periods consistent with the expected term of the awards are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected term is determined using the average of the mathematical mean of the vesting period and the full term of the option rather than estimating based on historical experience. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Companys history and expectation of dividend payouts.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Loan commitments
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, which involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Banks exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk consist of the following:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
Loan commitments (concluded)
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for all lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon, therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customers credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. Substantially all of these financial instruments, except for unadvanced lines of credit on unsecured personal loans and commercial lines of credit, are secured by real estate.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance by a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The maximum potential amount of the Banks obligation for standby letters of credit was $25,000 and $125,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Banks outstanding letters of credit generally have a term of less than one year. If a letter of credit is drawn upon, the Bank may seek recourse through the customers underlying line of credit. If the customers line of credit is also in default, the Bank may take possession of the collateral, if any, securing the line of credit.
Lease commitments
Pursuant to the terms of non-cancelable lease agreements in effect at December 31, 2012, pertaining to branch facilities, future minimum rental payments are as follows:

GEORGETOWN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (concluded)
Employment agreements
The Bank and Company have entered into employment agreements with its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with initial terms of thirty-six months, that generally provide for a specified minimum annual compensation and the continuation of benefits currently received upon certain termination events, including a change in control, as defined in the agreements. The employment agreements may be terminated for cause, as defined, without incurring any continuing obligations. The Company employment agreements do not provide duplicative benefits, but rather, reinforce the obligation of the Bank by providing for the payments required under the employment agreements to the extent that such payments are not or cannot be made by the Bank. The agreements with the Company do not have an automatic reduction in benefits in the event of an excess parachute payment, but such agreements also do not provide for a tax gross up. In addition, certain regulatory requirements that are only required to be included in employment agreements between the executives and the Bank are not included in the employment agreements with the Company.
The Bank has also entered into change in control agreements with four officers of the Bank with an initial term of twelve months, which provides for a lump sum severance payment, subject to certain conditions. These agreements are automatically renewed annually unless a notice of non-renewal is issued upon recommendation from the Board of Directors.
Other contingencies
Various legal claims arise from time to time in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of management, will have no material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position.
15. LOANS TO RELATED PARTIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank grants loans to its Executive Officers and Directors and their affiliates. Total loans to such persons and their affiliates amounted to $4,500,000 as of December 31, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2012, principal payments totaled $1,006,000 and principal advances amounted to $1,308,000.
16. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Mortgage loan commitments
The Bank enters into commitments to originate mortgage loans for sale and uses forward commitments to sell such loans, both of which represent derivative instruments. These instruments involve both credit and market risk.
Commitments to originate loans require the Bank to originate a loan at an interest rate that may or may not be fixed upon completion of various underwriting requirements. At December 31, 2012, the Bank
GEORGETOWN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (concluded)
Mortgage loan commitments (concluded)
had $8,171,000 in outstanding commitments to grant mortgage loans that are intended to be sold, the fair value of which was not material. At December 31, 2011, the Bank had $2,825,000 in outstanding commitments to grant mortgage loans that are intended to be sold, the fair value of which was not material.
Forward commitments to sell loans require the Bank to make delivery at a specific future date of a specified amount, at a specified price or yield. At December 31, 2012, such commitments amounted to $10,777,000, the fair value of which was not material. At December 31, 2011, such commitments amounted to $3,594,000, the fair value of which was not material.
17. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine their fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument is 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. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Companys various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
Determination of fair value
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term investments approximate fair values.
Securities: Fair values for the Companys debt securities are obtained from a third-party pricing service and are based on models that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, credit spreads and new issue data. No further adjustments to such values are made by the Company.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock: Fair value is based on redemption provisions of the FHLB. The FHLB stock has no quoted market value.
Loans held for sale: Fair value is based on committed secondary market prices.
GEORGETOWN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued)
Determination of fair value (continued)
Loans: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
Capitalized mortgage servicing rights: Fair value is based on a quarterly, third-party valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model utilizes a variety of assumptions, the most significant of which are loan prepayment assumptions and the discount rate used to discount future cash flows. Prepayment assumptions, which are impacted by loan rates and terms, are calculated using a moving average of prepayment data published by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, third party proprietary analysis of prepayment rates embedded in liquid mortgage securities markets and modeled against the serviced loan portfolio by the third party valuation specialist. The discount rate is the moving average 10-year U.S. Treasury rate plus 5.0% and adjusted to reflect the current credit spreads and conditions in the market. Other assumptions include delinquency rates, foreclosure rates, servicing cost inflation, and annual unit loan cost. All assumptions are adjusted periodically to reflect current circumstances and all are obtained from independent market sources.
Deposits: The fair values for non-certificate accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date which is the carrying amount. Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase: The fair value estimate of securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximates carrying value as they mature daily and bear market interest rates.
Short-term FHLB advances: The fair value of short-term FHLB advances approximate carrying value, as they generally mature within 90 days.
Long-term FHLB advances: The fair value for long-term FHLB advances is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current market borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Mortgagors escrow accounts: The fair values disclosed for mortgagors escrow accounts are equal to the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e. their carrying amounts).
Accrued interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.
GEORGETOWN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued)
Determination of fair value (concluded)
Forward loan sale commitments and derivative loan commitments: Fair value is determined using secondary market pricing, including expected normal servicing rights. In estimating fair value, the Bank assigns a probability to a loan commitment based on an expectation that it will be exercised and the loan will be funded.
Off-balance sheet instruments: Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties credit standing. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the fair value of commitments outstanding is not significant since fees charged are not material.

FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued)
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
The Company may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets on a non-recurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. There are no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2012 and 2011. The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. The fair value adjustments represent the amount of write down recorded during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 on the assets held at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Fair values of impaired loans are based on the appraised value of the underlying collateral considering discounting factors, if deemed appropriate, and as adjusted for selling costs. These appraised values may be discounted based on managements historical knowledge, expertise or changes in market conditions from time of valuation. Fair value adjustments are reflected in the provision for loan losses.
Other real estate owned values are estimated using level 2 inputs based on appraisals of similar properties obtained from a third party. For level 3 inputs, fair values are based on management estimates.

GEORGETOWN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
18. LIQUIDATION ACCOUNT RELATED TO REORGANIZATION
On November 28, 2011, the Boards of Directors of Georgetown Federal, Georgetown Bancorp, MHC and the Bank each unanimously adopted a Plan of Conversion or Reorganization of the Mutual Holding Company (the Plan) pursuant to which the Georgetown Bancorp, MHC undertook a second-step conversion and ceased to exist. Georgetown Bancorp, MHC reorganized from a two-tier mutual holding company structure to a fully public stock holding company structure effective July 11, 2012.
In accordance with Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System regulations, at the time of the reorganization, the Company substantially 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 Bank will establish a parallel liquidation account to support the Companys liquidation account in the event the Company does not have sufficient assets to fund its obligations under its liquidation account. The liquidation accounts will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holders interest in the liquidation accounts. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank or the Company, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution 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.

On November 28, 2011, the Boards of Directors of Georgetown Federal, Georgetown Bancorp, MHC and the Bank each unanimously adopted a Plan of Conversion or Reorganization of the Mutual Holding Company (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Georgetown Bancorp, MHC undertook a “second-step” conversion and ceased to exist. Georgetown Bancorp, MHC reorganized from a two-tier mutual holding company structure to a fully public stock holding company structure effective July 11, 2012.
In accordance with Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System regulations, at the time of the reorganization, the Company substantially 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 Bank will establish a parallel liquidation account to support the Company’s liquidation account in the event the Company does not have sufficient assets to fund its obligations under its liquidation account. The liquidation accounts 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 accounts. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank or the Company, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution 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. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation and consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. The Bank’s financial statements include its wholly-owned subsidiary, Georgetown Securities Corporation, which engages in the buying, selling and holding of securities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Nature of operations
The Company, through the Bank, provides a variety of financial services to individuals and small businesses in the eastern Massachusetts region and southern New Hampshire. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings and term certificate accounts and its primary lending products are residential and commercial mortgage loans.
Segment reporting
Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. Management evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources based on a single segment concept. Accordingly, there are no separately identified operating segments for which discrete financial information is available. The Company does not derive revenues from, or have assets located in, foreign countries, nor does it derive revenues from any single customer that represents 10% or more of the Company’s total revenues.
Use of estimates
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and 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 in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the realizability of deferred tax assets.
Fair value hierarchy
The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value as follows:
Level l - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level l assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market.
Level 2 - Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level l prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2011 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash, amounts due from banks and short-term investments, all of which mature within 90 days, and are carried at cost.
Securities
Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity” and reflected at amortized cost. Securities classified as “available for sale” are reflected at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income/loss, net of tax effects.
Purchase premiums and discounts are amortized to earnings by the interest method over the contractual lives of the securities. Gains and losses on sale of securities are recognized on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.
Each reporting period, the Company evaluates all securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity with a decline in fair value below the amortized cost of the investment to determine whether or not the impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary (“OTTI”).
For debt securities, OTTI is required to be recognized (1) if the Company intends to sell the security; (2) if it is “more likely than not” that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. For all impaired debt securities that the Company intends to sell, or more likely than not will be required to sell, the full amount of the depreciation is recognized as OTTI through earnings. Credit-related OTTI for all other impaired debt securities is recognized through earnings. Non-credit related OTTI for such debt securities is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock
As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLB”), the Bank is required to invest in $100 par value stock of the FHLB. The FHLB capital structure mandates that members must own stock as determined by their Total Stock Investment Requirement which is the sum of a member’s Membership Stock Investment Requirement and Activity-Based Stock Investment Requirement. The Membership Stock Investment Requirement is calculated as 0.35% of a member’s Stock Investment Base, subject to a minimum investment of $10,000 and a maximum investment of $25,000,000. The Stock Investment Base is an amount calculated based on certain assets held by a member that are reflected on call reports submitted to applicable regulatory authorities. The Activity-Based Stock Investment Requirement is calculated as 3.0% for overnight advances, 4.0% for FHLB advances with original terms to maturity of two days to three months and 4.5% for other advances plus a percentage of advance commitments, 0.5% of standby letters of credit issued by the FHLB and 4.5% of the value of intermediated derivative contracts. Management evaluates the Bank’s investment in FHLB stock for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Based on its most recent analysis of the FHLB as of December 31, 2012, management deems its investment in FHLB stock to be not other-than-temporarily impaired.
Loans held for sale
Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. Fair value is based on committed secondary market prices.
Loans
The loan portfolio consists of mortgage, business and consumer loans to the Bank’s customers, principally in the eastern Massachusetts region and southern New Hampshire. The ability of the Bank’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate market and general economic conditions in this area.
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are generally reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for the allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination costs, net of origination fees, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.
The accrual of interest on loans, including impaired loans, is generally recognized on a simple interest basis and is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due, unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loans. Loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Allowance for loan losses
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
Allowance for loan losses (continued)
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a monthly basis by management and is based upon management’s monthly review of the collectability of the loans in light of known and inherent risks in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. Additionally, as part of the evaluation of the level of the allowance for loan losses, on a quarterly basis management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including, but not limited to, charge-off history, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance for loan losses consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance for loan losses is established when the discounted cash flows or the fair value of the existing collateral (less cost to sell) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component may be maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank 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. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.
The Bank periodically may agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). All TDRs are initially classified as impaired.
Adjustable-rate mortgage loans decrease the risk associated with changes in market interest rates by periodically repricing, but involve other risks because, as interest rates increase, the underlying payments by the borrower increase, thus increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustment of the contractual interest rate is also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents and, therefore, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgage loans may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates.
Loans secured by commercial real estate, multi-family and one- to four-family investment properties, generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate, including multi-family and one- to four-family investment properties, are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.
Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value.
Construction and development financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of 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 funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Additionally, if the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project, when completed, having a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment.
Other real estate owned and in-substance foreclosures
Other real estate owned includes properties acquired through foreclosure and properties classified as in-substance foreclosures in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310-40, “Receivables — Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors.” These properties are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. Any write down from cost to estimated fair value required at the time of foreclosure or classification as in-substance foreclosure is charged to the allowance for loan losses.
Expenses incurred in connection with maintaining these assets, subsequent write downs and gains or losses recognized upon sale are included in other general and administrative expense.
In accordance with ASC 310-10-35, “Receivables - Overall - Subsequent Measurements,” the Bank classifies loans as in-substance repossessed or foreclosed if the Bank receives physical possession of the debtor’s assets regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings take place.
Loan Servicing
The Bank services mortgage loans for others. Mortgage servicing assets are recognized at fair value, as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through sale of financial assets. Initial fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics. Capitalized servicing rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into loan servicing fee income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights by predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rates and terms. Fair value is based on a quarterly, third-party valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual stratum, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for the stratum. Changes in the valuation allowance are reported in loan servicing fee income.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and measured at fair value.
Derivative Loan Commitments
Mortgage loan commitments are referred to as derivative loan commitments if the loan that will result from exercise of the commitment will be held for sale upon funding. Loan commitments that are derivatives are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets in other assets and other liabilities with changes in their fair values recorded in mortgage banking income. Fair value is determined using secondary market pricing, including expected normal servicing rights. In estimating fair value, the Bank assigns a probability to a loan commitment based on an expectation that it will be exercised and the loan will be funded.
Forward Loan Sale Commitments
To protect against the price risk inherent in derivative loan commitments, the Bank utilizes both “mandatory delivery” and “best efforts” forward loan sale commitments to mitigate the risk of potential decreases in the values of loans that would result from the exercise of the derivative loan commitments. Mandatory delivery contracts are accounted for as derivative instruments. Generally, the Bank’s best efforts contracts meet the definition of derivative instruments when the loans to the underlying borrowers close and are accounted for as derivative instruments at that time. Accordingly, forward loan sale commitments are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets in other assets and other liabilities with changes in their fair values recorded in mortgage banking income.
The Bank estimates the fair value of its forward loan sales commitments using a methodology similar to that used for derivative loan commitments.
Premises and equipment
Land is carried at cost. Buildings, leasehold improvements and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the expected terms of the leases, if shorter. Expected terms include lease option periods to the extent that the exercise of such options is reasonably assured.
Bank-owned life insurance
Bank-owned life insurance policies are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets at cash surrender value. Changes in cash surrender value are reflected in non-interest income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Transfers of financial assets
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Income taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when, based upon the available evidence including historical and projected taxable income, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2012 which require accrual or disclosure.
Income tax benefits related to stock compensation in excess of grant date fair value less any proceeds on exercise are recognized as an increase to additional paid-in capital upon vesting or exercising and delivery of the stock. Any income tax effects related to stock compensation that are less than grant date fair value less any proceeds on exercise would be recognized as a reduction of additional paid in capital to the extent of previously recognized income tax benefits and then through income tax expense for the remaining amount.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
Compensation expense for the ESOP is recorded at an amount equal to the shares committed to be allocated by the ESOP multiplied by the average fair market value of the shares during the period. The Bank recognizes compensation expense ratably over the year based upon the Bank’s estimate of the number of shares expected to be allocated by the ESOP. Unearned compensation applicable to the ESOP is reflected as a reduction of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The difference between the average fair market value and the cost of the shares allocated by the ESOP is recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.
Share-based Compensation Plan
The Company measures and recognizes compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued. Share-based compensation is recognized over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award. Reductions in compensation expense associated with forfeited options are estimated at the date of grant, and this estimated forfeiture rate is adjusted quarterly based on actual forfeiture experience. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share represents net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. If rights to dividends on unvested options/awards are non-forfeitable, these unvested awards/options are considered outstanding in the computation of basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards and are determined using the treasury stock method.
Unallocated ESOP shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.
Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following:
Options to purchase 13,323 shares, 14,761 shares and 12,597 shares that were granted in February 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively, were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2012. Options to purchase 14,222 shares that were granted in February 2010 were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2011. Options to purchase 15,661 shares that were granted in February 2011 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2011, because to do so would have been antidilutive.
Comprehensive income
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in operating results. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, are reported as a separate component of the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” This ASU provides additional guidance or clarification to help creditors determine whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired, and should measure impairment on those receivables prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Additional disclosures are also required under this ASU. On July 1, 2011 the Company adopted this ASU. Refer to Note 6 — Loans and Servicing for further information.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” The objective of this ASU is to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. This ASU prescribes when an entity may or may not recognize a sale upon the transfer of financial assets subject to repurchase agreements. The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.” The amendments in this ASU explain how to measure fair value. They do not require additional fair value measurements and are not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The objective of this ASU is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. Under this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. An entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. An entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is reflected in the statements of comprehensive income.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” This ASU is to enhance current disclosures. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual 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 anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will 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 in this update defer those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 are not affected by this update. The amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The required disclosures have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-06, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution.” The amendments in this update clarify the applicable guidance for subsequently measuring an indemnification asset recognized as a result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution. For public and nonpublic entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2012. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
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 update do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
