Dear Stockholder:

Your vote is very important.

You are invited to attend a special meeting of stockholders (the “special meeting”) of Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. (“Hamilton Bancorp”) to be held on [MEETING DATE], at 5:00 p.m., local time, at the administrative offices of Hamilton Bank, located at 501 Fairmount Avenue, Suite 200, Towson, Maryland 21286. The special meeting is being held to approve, among other things, the merger of Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. with and into Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. (the “merger”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “merger agreement”) by and between Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. and Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. dated as of October 23, 2018. In connection with the merger agreement, Hamilton Bancorp will be merged with and into Orrstown Financial Services and its subsidiary, Hamilton Bank, will be merged with and into Orrstown Bank, a subsidiary of Orrstown Financial Services.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, if the merger agreement is approved by the holders of at least a majority of the shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. (“Hamilton Bancorp common stock”) outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting and the merger is subsequently completed, each outstanding share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock will be converted into the right to receive (1) 0.54 shares of common stock, no par value per share, of Orrstown Financial Services (“Orrstown Financial Services common stock”) and (2) $4.10 in cash, without interest, subject to possible reduction as set forth in the merger agreement. Orrstown Financial Services common stock is traded on NASDAQ under the symbol “ORRF.”

No fractional shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock will be issued in connection with the merger. Instead, each Hamilton Bancorp stockholder will receive an amount of cash, in lieu of any fractional share, based on the average daily closing price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock as reported on NASDAQ for the ten consecutive trading day period ending on the fifth business day prior to the closing date of the merger, rounded to the nearest whole cent.

As of the date of the merger agreement, based on the closing price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock of $23.10 and assuming no reduction in the cash consideration, Hamilton Bancorp stockholders would have received Orrstown Financial Services common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares in the merger with an implied value per share equal to $16.57. Based on the closing price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock of $[ • ] per share on [ • ], the most recent practicable date prior to the mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus, Hamilton Bancorp stockholders would receive Orrstown Financial Services common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares in the merger with an implied value per share equal to $[ • ].

Your vote is important, regardless of the number of shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock you own. We cannot complete the merger unless the merger agreement is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting.

The attached proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the special meeting, the merger agreement and the merger.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER AND THE SPECIAL MEETING

The following questions and answers are intended to address briefly some commonly asked questions regarding the merger and the special meeting. These questions and answers may not address all questions that may be important to you as a stockholder.

Unless the context otherwise requires, throughout this proxy statement/prospectus, “we,” “us” and “our” refer collectively to Hamilton Bancorp, Hamilton Bank, Orrstown Financial Services, and Orrstown Bank. Also, we refer to the merger of Hamilton Bancorp and Orrstown Financial Services, as the “merger”; and the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 23, 2018, by and between Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp, as the “merger agreement.”

Q: | Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

The enclosed proxy materials for the Hamilton Bancorp special meeting allow you to vote your shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock without attending the special meeting of Hamilton Bancorp.

We are delivering this proxy statement/prospectus to you as the proxy statement for the special meeting of stockholders of Hamilton Bancorp and the prospectus for the shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock to be issued in connection with the merger. It is a proxy statement because the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors is soliciting proxies from stockholders to vote on the approval of the merger agreement and your proxy will be used at the special meeting or at any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting. It is a prospectus because Orrstown Financial Services will issue Orrstown Financial Services common stock to the Hamilton Bancorp stockholders as part of the merger consideration, and this prospectus contains information about Orrstown Financial Services common stock.

Q: | Why are Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp proposing this transaction? (pages 54 and 40)

A: | The Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp boards of directors have each approved the merger agreement and have determined that the merger agreement and the transactions provided for thereunder, including the merger, are advisable and in the best interests of the companies.

Q: | What will happen in the merger? (page 36)

A: | In the proposed merger, Hamilton Bancorp will merge with and into Orrstown Financial Services. The surviving corporation in the merger will be Orrstown Financial Services. It is anticipated that Hamilton Bank will merge with and into Orrstown Bank, with Orrstown Bank continuing as the surviving bank, immediately following the merger.

Q: | What will Hamilton Bancorp stockholders receive in the merger? (page 36)

A: | Pursuant to the merger agreement, if the merger agreement is approved by the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting and the merger is subsequently completed, each outstanding share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock will be converted into the right to receive (1) 0.54 shares of common stock, no par value per share, of Orrstown Financial Services (“Orrstown Financial Services common stock”) and (2) $4.10 in cash, without interest, subject to possible reduction of the cash portion of the consideration as set forth in the merger agreement based on potential losses, write-downs, or reserves related to certain identified loans of Hamilton Bank. The maximum possible reduction to the cash consideration is $1,000,000, or approximately $0.27 per share, based on 3,416,414 shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock and 262,704 stock options outstanding as of the record date.

If Hamilton Bancorp exercises this termination right, Orrstown Financial Services will have the option to increase the exchange ratio or the cash consideration to be provided to Hamilton Bancorp stockholders to an amount which would compensate Hamilton Bancorp stockholders for the extent of the decrease in the price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock below the minimum implied value that would have avoided triggering the termination right described above.

Q: | Will Hamilton Bancorp stockholders receive any fractional share of Orrstown Financial Services common stock as part of the merger consideration? (page 36)

A: | No. Orrstown Financial Services will not issue any fractional shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock in the merger.

Q: | What will happen to shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock in the merger?

A: | Nothing. Each share of Orrstown Financial Services common stock outstanding will remain outstanding as a share of Orrstown Financial Services common stock.

Q. | How will the merger affect Hamilton Bancorp equity awards? (page 64)

A. | The Hamilton Bancorp equity awards will be affected as follows:

Stock Options: Each stock option granted by Hamilton Bancorp will become fully vested immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. Hamilton Bancorp stock options will be canceled upon consummation of the merger, and each option holder will receive a cash payment upon cancellation of the Hamilton Bancorp stock option equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock provided for by such stock option and (ii) the excess, if any, of $16.90 (subject to adjustment to the extent there is any reduction to the merger consideration as set forth in the merger agreement) over the exercise price of such stock option.

Restricted Stock: Each share of restricted stock of Hamilton Bancorp common stock will become fully vested immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. All restricted shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock will be treated as outstanding shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock for all purposes under the merger agreement, and each holder will have the right to receive the merger consideration.

Q. | How will the merger affect the Hamilton Bank ESOP?

A. | The Hamilton Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Hamilton Bank ESOP”) will be terminated immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. As a result of the merger, Hamilton Bancorp shares held in each participant account will be exchanged for the merger consideration. In 2012, the Hamilton Bank ESOP was funded through a 20-year loan to purchase Hamilton Bancorp stock, which is allocated to eligible participants pro rata as the loan is repaid. The unallocated shares are held in a separate unallocated stock fund within the Hamilton Bank ESOP. Following the repayment of the Hamilton Bank ESOP loan in full, first with cash held within the unallocated stock fund and then with shares held within the unallocated stock fund having a value equal to the merger consideration, the remaining merger consideration and other assets, if any, in the unallocated stock fund will be allocated on a pro rata basis to all active participants with an account balance under the Hamilton Bank ESOP based on the size of each active participant’s account balance on the termination date. The amount allocated to the participants will be determined based on the value of the merger consideration at closing. Pursuant to the terms of the Hamilton Bank ESOP, all participants with an account balance in the Hamilton Bank ESOP at the termination date will become fully vested upon the termination of the Hamilton Bank ESOP. If you are a participant in the Hamilton Bank ESOP, you will receive separate instructions about how to receive your account balance, including the merger consideration and your share of the unallocated stock fund.

Q. | Are Hamilton Bancorp’s stockholders or Orrstown Financial Services’ stockholders entitled to dissenters’ rights?

A. | No. Under the provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended, Hamilton Bancorp stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights in the merger.

Q: | What are the material federal income tax consequences of the merger to Hamilton Bancorp stockholders? (page 81)

A: | The merger is intended to qualify, and the obligations of the parties to complete the merger are conditioned upon the receipt of a legal opinion from their respective counsel to the effect that the merger will qualify, as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Hamilton Bancorp’s stockholders should not recognize gain or loss with respect to the Orrstown Financial Services common stock that they receive in the merger, except with respect to any cash they receive in lieu of receiving a fractional share of Orrstown Financial Services common stock, and will generally recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to the cash portion of the merger consideration that they receive. Generally, any gain recognized upon the exchange will be capital gain, and any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain if you have established a holding period of more than one year for your shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock. Depending on certain facts specific to you, any gain could instead be characterized as ordinary dividend income.

Please carefully review the information set forth in the section titled “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on page 81 for a description of the material federal income tax consequences of the merger. This tax treatment may not apply to all Hamilton Bancorp stockholders. We strongly urge you to consult your own tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the merger to you, as the tax consequences will depend upon each stockholder’s own situation.

A: | The obligations of Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp to complete the merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions contained in the merger agreement, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals, tax opinions and the requisite approval by Hamilton Bancorp stockholders.

Q: | When do you expect the merger to be completed? (page 62)

A: | We will complete the merger when all of the conditions to completion contained in the merger agreement are satisfied or waived. Some of these conditions, such as the receipt of required regulatory approvals, are not entirely within our control. We currently expect to complete the merger in the second quarter of 2019; however, because the merger is subject to these conditions, we cannot predict the actual timing.

Q: | What Hamilton Bancorp stockholder approvals are required to complete the merger? (page 30)

A: | The affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting is required to approve the merger agreement.

Q. | What are the interests of Hamilton Bancorp’s executive officers and directors in the merger, if any? (page 56)

A. | Some of the directors and executive officers of Hamilton Bancorp have financial interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Hamilton Bancorp’s other stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things, rights of executive officers under their existing employment agreements and change in control agreements; continued employment and rights under employment and change in control agreements with Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank executed in connection with the merger agreement; rights under Hamilton Bancorp’s equity-based benefit programs and awards, including the acceleration of vesting of stock options and restricted stock; rights under the Hamilton Bank ESOP; and rights to continued indemnification and insurance coverage by Orrstown Financial Services after the merger for acts and omissions occurring before the merger. In addition, as of the effective time of the merger, Orrstown Financial Services will elect, from among those directors serving on Hamilton Bancorp’s board of directors as of the date of the merger agreement, one individual to become a director of Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank.

As a stockholder of record, you may vote at the special meeting or vote by proxy by one of the methods described below. If your shares are held in an account by a broker, bank or other nominee (the record holder of your shares), then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name.” As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your record holder how to vote your shares of common stock, and the record holder is required to vote your shares of common stock in accordance with your instructions.

All proxies properly delivered prior to the Hamilton Bancorp special meeting and not revoked before the vote at the Hamilton Bancorp special meeting will be voted at the Hamilton Bancorp special meeting according to the instructions indicated on the proxies or, if no instructions are given, to approve the merger agreement and the merger and the adjournment proposal. If you abstain, fail to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Hamilton Bancorp special meeting, or do not provide your broker, bank or other nominee with instructions, as applicable, your shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock will not be voted on the proposals, which will have the same effect as a vote against the merger proposal but will have no effect on the proposal to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation that may become payable to Hamilton Bancorp’s named executive officers relating to the merger or any proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting.

You may revoke your proxy at any time by taking any of the following actions before your proxy is voted at the special meeting:

| • |  | Filing a written revocation of the proxy with the Secretary of Hamilton Bancorp, Robin L. Thiess, 501 Fairmount Avenue, Suite 200, Towson, Maryland 21286;

| • |  | Submitting a new signed proxy card by mail bearing a later date, or by submitting a new vote over the Internet or by telephone (any earlier proxies will be revoked automatically); or

| • |  | Attending and voting in person at the Hamilton Bancorp special meeting provided you are the holder of record of your shares and have filed a written revocation of your grant of proxy with the Secretary of Hamilton Bancorp as indicated above.

The Merger

Structure of the Merger (page 62)

Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp entered into the merger agreement on October 23, 2018. The merger agreement provides for the merger of Hamilton Bancorp with and into Orrstown Financial Services. The surviving corporation in the merger will be Orrstown Financial Services. It is anticipated that Hamilton Bank will merge with and into Orrstown Bank, with Orrstown Bank continuing as the surviving bank, immediately following the merger.

The proposed merger will occur following approval of the proposal to approve the merger agreement by the stockholders of Hamilton Bancorp, receipt of regulatory approvals, and satisfaction or waiver of all other conditions to the merger. The merger agreement is attached to this document as Annex A. We encourage you to read the merger agreement in its entirety because it is the legal document that governs the merger.

Merger Consideration for Hamilton Bancorp Stockholders (page 62)

If the merger agreement is approved by the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting and the merger is subsequently completed, each outstanding share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock will be converted into the right to receive (1) 0.54 shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock and (2) $4.10 in cash, without interest, subject to possible reduction of the cash portion of the merger consideration as set forth in the merger agreement based on potential losses, write-downs or reserves related to certain identified loans of Hamilton Bank. The maximum possible reduction to the cash consideration is $1,000,000, or approximately $0.27 per share, based on 3,416,414 shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock and 262,704 stock options outstanding as of the record date.

No fractional shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock will be issued in connection with the merger. Instead, each Hamilton Bancorp stockholder will receive an amount of cash, in lieu of any fractional share, based on the average daily closing price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock as reported on NASDAQ for the ten consecutive trading day period ending on the fifth business day prior to the closing date of the merger, rounded to the nearest whole cent.

As of the date of the merger agreement, based on the closing price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock of $23.10 and assuming no reduction in the cash consideration, Hamilton Bancorp stockholders would have received Orrstown Financial Services common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares in the merger with an implied value per share equal to $16.57. Based on the closing price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock of $[ • ] per share on [ • ], the most recent practicable date prior to the mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus, Hamilton Bancorp stockholders would receive Orrstown Financial Services common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares in the merger with an implied value per share equal to $[ • ]. The following table presents the implied value per share to be received in exchange for each share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock if the stock price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock at the closing of the merger is equal to the prices set forth in the table.

Hamilton Bancorp has the right to terminate the merger agreement if the volume weighted average stock price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock as reported on NASDAQ for the 15 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the determination date (1) is less than $20.1535 per share and (2) underperforms the volume weighted average price of the NASDAQ Bank Index for the 15 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the determination date by more than 15%. If Hamilton Bancorp exercises this termination right, Orrstown Financial Services will have the option to increase the exchange ratio or the cash consideration to be provided to Hamilton Bancorp stockholders to an amount which would compensate Hamilton Bancorp stockholders for the extent of the decrease in the price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock below the minimum implied value that would have avoided triggering the termination right described above. If Orrstown Financial Services elects to increase the merger consideration pursuant to the preceding sentence, no termination will occur. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “The Merger Agreement—Termination” beginning on page 66.

As of [RECORD DATE], there were 3,416,414 shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock issued and outstanding. Based upon these numbers, approximately 1,844,863 shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock will be issued to Hamilton Bancorp stockholders in the merger. This will result in current Orrstown Financial Services stockholders owning approximately [ • ]% of the combined company and Hamilton Bancorp stockholders owning approximately [ • ]% of the combined company.

Treatment of Hamilton Bancorp Equity Awards (page 64)

The directors and executive officers of Hamilton Bancorp hold stock options and shares of restricted stock awarded under Hamilton Bancorp’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

Stock Options. Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, each option granted under Hamilton Bancorp’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and any other similar plan or otherwise, which is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger and which has not been previously exercised or canceled, will be canceled and, promptly thereafter, Hamilton Bancorp shall pay to the holder thereof cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock underlying such stock option and (ii) the excess, if any, of $16.90 per share (subject to adjustment to the extent there is any reduction to the merger consideration as set forth in the merger agreement) over the exercise price per share provided for in such stock option, which cash payment shall be made without interest and shall be net of all applicable withholding taxes. At the effective time of the merger, the Hamilton Bancorp 2013 Equity Incentive Plan shall terminate and the provisions of such plan and any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of Hamilton Bancorp shall be of no further force and effect and shall be deemed to be canceled. As of the record date, there were outstanding options to purchase 262,704 shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock.

Restricted Stock. Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, all outstanding unvested shares of restricted stock awarded under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and any other similar plan will become fully vested and will be treated as outstanding shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock for all purposes under the merger agreement, and be converted into the right to receive merger consideration. As of the record date, there were outstanding 28,161 unvested shares of Hamilton Bancorp restricted stock.

Opinion of Hamilton Bancorp’s Financial Advisor (page 43)

In connection with the merger, Hamilton Bancorp’s financial advisor, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (“KBW”), delivered a written opinion, dated October 23, 2018, to the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors to the effect that, as of such date and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by KBW as set forth in its opinion, the merger consideration in the proposed merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Hamilton Bancorp common stock. The full text of the opinion, which describes the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by KBW in preparing the opinion, is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus. The opinion was for the information of, and was directed to, the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors (in its capacity as such) in connection with its consideration of the financial terms of the merger. The opinion did not address the underlying business decision of Hamilton Bancorp to engage in the merger or enter into the merger agreement or constitute a recommendation to the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors in connection with the merger, and it does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of Hamilton Bancorp common stock or any stockholder of any other entity as to how to vote in connection with the merger or any other matter.

Interests of Hamilton Bancorp Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger (page 56)

Some of the members of Hamilton Bancorp’s management and board of directors may be deemed to have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Hamilton Bancorp stockholders generally. These interests include:

| • |  | payment of cash severance benefits under the existing employment agreement with Robert A. DeAlmeida and change in control agreement with John P. Marzullo;

| • |  | accelerated vesting of all unvested stock options and restricted stock awards;

| • |  | certain rights under the Hamilton Bank ESOP;

| • |  | continued indemnification and liability insurance coverage for directors and executive officers with respect to acts or omissions occurring before the merger; and

| • |  | the election of one Hamilton Bancorp director to the board of directors of Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank immediately following the effective time of the merger.

In addition, upon execution of the merger agreement, Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank entered into an employment agreement and a change in control agreement with Ellen R. Fish, Executive Vice President of Hamilton Bancorp, to be effective as of the closing date of the merger, whereby Ms. Fish has agreed to serve as Executive Vice President and Senior Lender of Orrstown Bank.

Limitations on Considering Other Acquisition Proposals (page 69)

The merger agreement restricts Hamilton Bancorp’s ability to solicit or engage in discussions or negotiations with a third party regarding a proposal to acquire Hamilton Bancorp. However, if Hamilton Bancorp receives a bona fide unsolicited written acquisition proposal from a third party that is, or is reasonably likely to be, more favorable from a financial point of view to Hamilton Bancorp stockholders than the terms of the merger agreement, Hamilton Bancorp may furnish nonpublic information to that third party and engage in negotiations regarding an acquisition proposal with that third party, subject to specified conditions in the merger agreement. In addition, the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors may not:

| • |  | withdraw, qualify, amend, modify, withhold, or propose to withdraw, qualify, amend, modify, or withhold, in a manner adverse to Orrstown Financial Services in connection with the transactions provided for in the merger agreement (including the merger), its recommendation that Hamilton Bancorp stockholders vote to approve the merger agreement and the merger;

| • |  | fail to reaffirm its recommendation that Hamilton Bancorp stockholders vote to approve the merger agreement and the merger within three business days following a request by Orrstown Financial Services;

| • |  | make any statement, announcement or release, in connection with the special meeting or otherwise, inconsistent with its recommendation that Hamilton Bancorp stockholders vote to approve the merger agreement and the merger (including taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an acquisition proposal);

| • |  | approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any acquisition proposal; or

| • |  | enter into (or cause Hamilton Bancorp, or any of its subsidiaries to enter into) any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement:

| • |  | related to any acquisition transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with the no solicitation provisions of the merger agreement); or

| • |  | requiring Hamilton Bancorp to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the merger or any other transaction provided for in the merger agreement;

14

##### Table of Contents

unless the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor, that an acquisition proposal is a superior proposal and, after consultation with such counsel, that it is required to take such action to comply with the fiduciary standard of conduct required of a board of directors under the applicable law and Hamilton Bancorp’s bylaws. In that event, Hamilton Bancorp must provide Orrstown Financial Services with notice of such determination and cooperate and negotiate in good faith with Orrstown Financial Services to adjust or modify the terms and conditions of the merger agreement.

Conditions to the Merger (page 64)

Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp will not complete the merger unless a number of conditions are satisfied or waived, including:

Termination of the Merger Agreement (page 66)

The parties can mutually agree to terminate the merger agreement before the merger has been completed, and either company can terminate the merger agreement if:

| • |  | the merger is not consummated by July 31, 2019, unless the terminating party’s failure to comply with the merger agreement was the cause of the failure of the merger to occur on or before this date;

| • |  | the other party materially breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the merger agreement, the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in the merger agreement, and the breach is not cured within 30 days of written notice;

15

##### Table of Contents

| • |  | (1) any regulatory approval required for consummation of the merger and the other transactions provided for in the merger agreement imposes any term, condition or restriction upon Orrstown Financial Services or any of its subsidiaries that Orrstown Financial Services reasonably determines, after consultation with Hamilton Bancorp, is a burdensome condition or has been denied by final nonappealable action, or (2) any governmental entity has issued a final nonappealable order, injunction or decree enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions provided for in the merger agreement, and the terminating party in either case has used its reasonable best efforts to have the order, injunction or decree lifted or to prevent the burdensome condition from being imposed; or

| • |  | the required approval of the merger agreement by the Hamilton Bancorp stockholders is not obtained.

In addition, Orrstown Financial Services may terminate the merger agreement if:

| • |  | the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors:

| • |  | withdraws, qualifies, amends, modifies or withholds its recommendation to the Hamilton Bancorp stockholders to vote in favor of the merger, fails to reaffirm such recommendation within three business days following a request to do so by Orrstown Financial Services, or makes any statement, filing or release that is inconsistent with such recommendation;

If Hamilton Bancorp exercises this termination right, Orrstown Financial Services will have the option to increase the exchange ratio or the cash consideration to be provided to Hamilton Bancorp stockholders to an amount which would compensate Hamilton Bancorp stockholders for the extent of the decrease in the price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock below the minimum implied value that would have avoided triggering the termination right described above.

| • |  | an acquisition proposal with respect to Hamilton Bancorp has been publicly announced, disclosed or otherwise communicated to the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors or senior management of Hamilton Bancorp prior to the Hamilton Bancorp special meeting or July 31, 2019, as applicable; and

Effective Time of the Merger (page 62)

We expect that the merger will be completed as soon as practicable following the satisfaction or waiver of all closing conditions, including approval of the merger agreement and the merger by the Hamilton Bancorp stockholders and receipt of all regulatory approvals. The parties cannot be certain whether or when any of the conditions to the merger will be satisfied or waived, where permissible. We currently expect to complete the merger during the second quarter of 2019; however, because the merger is subject to conditions beyond our control, we cannot predict the actual timing of the closing.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences for Hamilton Bancorp Stockholders (page 81)

The merger is intended to qualify, and the obligations of the parties to complete the merger are conditioned upon the receipt of a legal opinion from their respective counsel to the effect that the merger will qualify, as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. Hamilton Bancorp’s stockholders should not recognize gain or loss with respect to the Orrstown Financial Services common stock that they receive in the merger, except with respect to any cash they receive in lieu of receiving a fractional share of Orrstown Financial Services common stock, and will generally recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to the cash portion of the merger consideration they receive. Each of Orrstown Financial Services’ and Hamilton Bancorp’s obligations to complete the merger are conditioned on its receipt of this opinion, dated as of the effective date of the merger, regarding certain federal income tax consequences of the merger.

17

##### Table of Contents

Tax matters are complicated, and the tax consequences of the merger to you will depend upon the facts of your particular situation. In addition, you may be subject to state, local or foreign tax laws that are not discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, we strongly urge you to consult your own tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences to you of the merger.

Required Regulatory Approvals (page 77)

To complete the merger, Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank need the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, and the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation. The United States Department of Justice is able to provide input into the approval process of federal banking agencies to challenge the approval on antitrust grounds. Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank have filed all necessary applications and notices with the applicable regulatory authorities. Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank cannot predict, however, whether or when the required regulatory approvals will be obtained or whether any such approvals will impose any burdensome condition upon Orrstown Financial Services or Orrstown Bank.

Accounting Treatment (page 55)

The merger will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with Orrstown Financial Services treated as the acquiror. Under this method of accounting, Hamilton Bancorp’s assets and liabilities will be recorded by Orrstown Financial Services at their respective fair values as of the closing date of the merger and added to those of Orrstown Financial Services. Any excess of purchase price over the net fair values of Hamilton Bancorp’s assets and liabilities will be recorded as goodwill. Any excess of the fair value of Hamilton Bancorp’s net assets over the purchase price will be recognized in earnings by Orrstown Financial Services on the closing date of the merger. Financial statements of Orrstown Financial Services issued after the merger will reflect these values, but will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of Hamilton Bancorp prior to the merger. The results of operations of Hamilton Bancorp will be included in the results of operations of Orrstown Financial Services beginning on the day after the effective date of the merger.

Listing of Orrstown Financial Services Common Stock to be Issued in the Merger (page 71)

Orrstown Financial Services’ common stock is quoted on NASDAQ under the trading symbol “ORRF.” Under the terms of the merger agreement, Orrstown Financial Services will file a notice of additional listing of shares with NASDAQ with respect to the shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock to be issued to the holders of Hamilton Bancorp common stock in the merger so that these shares will be listed and traded on NASDAQ following the merger.

Differences Between Rights of Holders of Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp Stock (page 162)

The rights of Hamilton Bancorp stockholders currently are governed by Hamilton Bancorp’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, and by the Maryland General Corporation Law. After the merger is completed, Hamilton Bancorp stockholders who receive Orrstown Financial Services common stock in the merger will become stockholders of Orrstown Financial Services, and, therefore, their rights as stockholders of Orrstown Financial Services will be governed by Orrstown Financial Services’ articles of incorporation and bylaws, and by the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law. This means that, as a result of the merger, Hamilton Bancorp stockholders will have different rights when they become holders of Orrstown Financial Services common stock than they currently have as holders of Hamilton Bancorp common stock.

Dividend Policy of Orrstown Financial Services; Dividends from Hamilton Bancorp (see page 22)

The holders of Orrstown Financial Services common stock receive dividends as and when declared by Orrstown Financial Services’ board of directors. Orrstown Financial Services declared cash dividends of $0.13 per share of common stock in the second and third quarters of 2018. After completion of the merger, the timing and amount of the payment of dividends will be at the discretion of Orrstown Financial Services’ board of directors and will be determined after consideration of various factors, including level of earnings, cash requirements and financial condition.

Prior to completion of the merger, Hamilton Bancorp’s stockholders will continue to receive any regular quarterly dividends declared and paid by Hamilton Bancorp, at a rate not to exceed $0.20 per share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock.

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal

Dissenters’ rights are statutory rights that, if applicable under law, enable stockholders to dissent from an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, and to demand that the corporation pay the fair value for their shares in cash as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the consideration offered to stockholders in connection with the extraordinary transaction. Dissenters’ rights are not available in all circumstances, and exceptions to these rights are provided under the Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended. Under the provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law, Hamilton Bancorp stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights in the merger.

COMPARATIVE HISTORICAL AND UNAUDITED PRO FORMA PER SHARE DATA

The following table summarizes selected share and per share information about Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp giving effect to the merger, which is referred to as “pro forma” information. The data in the table should be read together with the financial information and the financial statements of Hamilton Bancorp, which are included in this proxy statement/prospectus, and Orrstown Financial Services, which are incorporated in this proxy statement/prospectus by reference. The data does not necessarily indicate the combined financial position per share or combined results of earnings per share that would have been reported if the merger had occurred when indicated, nor is the data a forecast of the combined financial position or combined results of operations for any future period.

The unaudited pro forma and pro forma per equivalent share information gives effect to the merger as if the merger had been effective on December 31, 2017 or September 30, 2018 in the case of the book value data, and as if the merger had been effective as of January 1, 2017 in the case of the earnings per share and the cash dividends data. The unaudited pro forma data combines the historical results of Hamilton Bancorp into Orrstown Financial Services’ consolidated statement of income. While certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of fair value adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what could have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2017.

The information about book value per share and shares outstanding assumes that the merger took place as of the dates presented and is based on the assumptions set forth in the preceding unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of financial condition. The information about dividends and earnings per share assumes that the merger took place as of the periods presented and is based on the assumptions set forth in the preceding unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of income. No pro forma adjustments have been included in these statements of income which reflect potential effects of the merger related to integration expenses, cost savings or operational synergies which are expected to be obtained by combining the operations of Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp, or the costs of combining the companies and their operations.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 29, you should carefully consider the risk factors described below in deciding how to vote. You should also read and consider the risk factors associated with the business of Orrstown Financial Services because these risk factors may affect the operations and financial results of the combined company. These risk factors may be found in the Orrstown Financial Services Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

Risks Relating to the Merger

The value of the merger consideration that Hamilton Bancorp stockholders receive will vary with changes in Orrstown Financial Services’ stock price.

Upon completion of the merger, each share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will be converted into shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock and cash. The exchange ratio for the stock portion of the merger consideration is fixed. Accordingly, the dollar value of Orrstown Financial Services common stock that Hamilton Bancorp stockholders will receive upon completion of the merger will depend upon the market value of Orrstown Financial Services common stock at the time of completion of the merger, which may be lower or higher than the closing price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock on the last full trading day preceding public announcement of the merger or the dates of the special meeting. Thus, at the time of the special meeting, you will not know or be able to determine the dollar value of the stock consideration to be received in the merger. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “The Merger Agreement—Merger Consideration” beginning on page 62.

The $4.10 per share cash portion of the merger consideration is subject to possible adjustment downward by as much as $0.27 per share, to $3.83 per share.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, if the merger is completed, each outstanding share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock will be converted into the right to receive (1) 0.54 shares of common stock, no par value per share, of Orrstown Financial Services and (2) $4.10 in cash, without interest, subject to possible reduction of the cash portion of the merger consideration based on potential losses, write-downs, or reserves related to certain identified loans of Hamilton Bank. The maximum reduction to the cash consideration is approximately $0.27 per share. There can be no assurance as to whether there will be any losses, write-downs, or reserves related to the subject loans at or prior to the time the merger is completed, and the amount of cash consideration you receive may be reduced to as low as $3.83 per share.

The fairness opinion rendered to the board of directors of Hamilton Bancorp by Hamilton Bancorp’s financial advisor prior to the signing of the merger agreement does not reflect changes in events or circumstances occurring after the date of the opinion.

The opinion of KBW, financial advisor to Hamilton Bancorp, was delivered on and dated October 23, 2018. The opinion does not reflect changes that may occur or may have occurred after the date on which it was delivered, including changes to the operations and prospects of Hamilton Bancorp or Orrstown Financial Services, changes in general market and economic conditions or other changes. Any of these changes may alter the relative value of Hamilton Bancorp or Orrstown Financial Services or the prices of shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock or Orrstown Financial Services common stock by the time the merger is completed. The opinion does not speak as of the date the merger will be completed or as of any date other than the date of the opinion. For a description of the opinion of Hamilton Bancorp’s financial advisor, please see “Opinion of Hamilton Bancorp’s Financial Advisor” beginning on page 43.

There is no assurance when or even if the merger will be completed.

The merger agreement is subject to a number of conditions which must be fulfilled in order to complete the merger. Those conditions include:

| • |  | approval of the merger agreement and the merger by Hamilton Bancorp stockholders;

| • |  | the receipt of required regulatory approvals;

| • |  | absence of orders prohibiting the completion of the merger;

24

##### Table of Contents

| • |  | effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part;

| • |  | the continued accuracy of the representations and warranties by both parties and the performance by both parties of their covenants and agreements; and

| • |  | the receipt by both parties of legal opinions from their respective tax counsels.

There can be no assurance that the parties will be able to satisfy the closing conditions or that closing conditions beyond their control will be satisfied or waived.

The merger agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the merger may not be completed.

The parties can agree at any time to terminate the merger agreement even after Hamilton Bancorp’s stockholders have provided their approval. The parties can also terminate the merger agreement under other specified circumstances. See “The Merger Agreement—Termination” on page 66. In addition, Hamilton Bancorp may choose to terminate the merger agreement if the volume weighted average stock price of Orrstown Financial Services’ common stock as reported on NASDAQ during the 15 trading day period ending on the determination date is less than $20.1535 per share and Orrstown Financial Services’ common stock underperforms the NASDAQ Bank Index by more than 15% between October 23, 2018 and the determination date. Any such termination would be subject to the right of Orrstown Financial Services to increase the amount of merger consideration to be provided to Hamilton Bancorp stockholders pursuant to the formula prescribed in the merger agreement. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “The Merger Agreement—Termination” beginning on page 66 for a more complete discussion of the circumstances under which the merger agreement could be terminated.

Regulatory approvals may not be received or may take longer than expected in order to be obtained.

Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank are required to obtain the approvals of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, and the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation prior to completing the merger. Obtaining the approval of these regulatory agencies may delay the date of completion of the merger. In addition, you should be aware that, as in any transaction, it is possible that, among other things, restrictions on the combined operations of the two companies may be sought by governmental agencies as a condition to obtaining the required regulatory approvals. This may diminish the benefits of the merger to Orrstown Financial Services or have an adverse effect on Orrstown Financial Services following the merger and prevent it from achieving the expected benefits of the merger. Orrstown Financial Services has the right to terminate the merger agreement if the approval of any governmental authority required for consummation of the merger and the other transactions provided for in the merger agreement, imposes any term, condition or restriction upon Orrstown Financial Services or any of its subsidiaries that Orrstown Financial Services reasonably determines would (a) prohibit or materially limit the ownership or operation by Orrstown Financial Services of any material portion of Hamilton Bancorp’s business or assets, (b) compel Orrstown Financial Services to dispose or hold separate any material portion of Hamilton Bancorp’s assets or (c) compel Orrstown Financial Services to take any action, or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or request, if the prohibition, limitation, condition or other requirement described in clauses (a)-(c) of this sentence would have a material adverse effect on the future operation by Orrstown Financial Services of its business, taken as a whole.

If the merger is not completed, Hamilton Bancorp will have incurred substantial expenses without their stockholders realizing the expected benefits.

Hamilton Bancorp has incurred, and will continue to incur, substantial expenses in connection with the transactions described in this proxy statement/prospectus. If the merger is not completed, these expenses may have a material adverse impact on the operating results of Hamilton Bancorp.

##### Table of Contents

Hamilton Bancorp’s directors and executive officers have financial interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Hamilton Bancorp stockholders.

In considering the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should be aware that Hamilton Bancorp’s executive officers and directors have financial interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Hamilton Bancorp stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things:

| • |  | payment of cash severance benefits under existing employment or change in control agreements with Robert A. DeAlmeida and John P. Marzullo;

| • |  | accelerated vesting of all unvested stock options and restricted stock awards;

| • |  | certain rights under the Hamilton Bank ESOP;

| • |  | continued indemnification and liability insurance coverage for directors and executive officers with respect to acts or omissions occurring before the merger; and

| • |  | the election of one Hamilton Bancorp director to the board of directors of Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank immediately following the effective time of the merger.

In addition, upon execution of the merger agreement, Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank entered into an employment agreement and a change in control agreement with Ellen R. Fish, Executive Vice President of Hamilton Bancorp, to be effective as of the closing date of the merger. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Interests of Hamilton Bancorp Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 56 for a discussion of these interests.

Goodwill incurred in the merger may negatively affect Orrstown Financial Services’ financial condition.

To the extent that the merger consideration, consisting of the cash and the number of shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock issued or to be issued in the merger, exceeds the fair value of the net assets, including identifiable intangibles, of Hamilton Bancorp, that amount will be reported as goodwill by Orrstown Financial Services. In accordance with current accounting guidance, goodwill will not be amortized but will be evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances warrant. A failure to realize expected benefits of the merger could adversely impact the carrying value of the goodwill recognized in the merger and, in turn, negatively affect Orrstown Financial Services’ financial results.

The termination fee and the restrictions on solicitation contained in the merger agreement may discourage other companies from trying to acquire Hamilton Bancorp.

Until the completion of the merger, Hamilton Bancorp is restricted from soliciting, initiating, encouraging, or with some exceptions, considering any inquiries or proposals that may lead to a proposal or offer for a merger or other business combination transaction with any person other than Orrstown Financial Services except in connection with a superior proposal as provided in the merger agreement. In addition, Hamilton Bancorp has agreed to pay a termination fee of $2,212,500 to Orrstown Financial Services in specified circumstances to terminate the merger agreement. These provisions could discourage other companies from trying to acquire Hamilton Bancorp even though those other companies might be willing to offer greater value to Hamilton Bancorp stockholders than Orrstown Financial Services has offered in the merger.

Orrstown Financial Services may be unable to successfully integrate Hamilton Bancorp’s operations.

The merger involves the integration of two companies that previously operated independently. The difficulties of combining the companies’ operations include:

| • |  | integrating personnel with diverse business backgrounds;

| • |  | integrating departments, systems, operating procedures and information technologies;

| • |  | combining different corporate cultures;

| • |  | retaining existing customers and attracting new customers; and

| • |  | retaining key employees.

The process of integrating operations could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of one or more of the combined company’s businesses and the loss of key personnel. The diversion of management’s attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with the merger and the integration of the two companies’ operations could have a material adverse effect on the business and results of operations of the combined company.

26

##### Table of Contents

The success of the merger will depend, in part, on Orrstown Financial Services’ ability to realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from combining the business of Orrstown Financial Services with Hamilton Bancorp. If Orrstown Financial Services is unable to successfully integrate Hamilton Bancorp, the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the merger may not be realized fully or may take longer to realize than expected. For example, Orrstown Financial Services may fail to realize the anticipated increase in earnings and cost savings anticipated to be derived from the acquisition. In addition, as with regard to any merger, a significant change in interest rates or economic conditions or decline in asset valuations may also cause Orrstown Financial Services not to realize expected benefits and result in the merger not being as accretive as expected.

Unanticipated costs relating to the merger could reduce Orrstown Financial Services’ future earnings per share.

Orrstown Financial Services believes that it has reasonably estimated the likely costs of integrating the operations of Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp, and the incremental costs of operating as a combined company. However, it is possible that Orrstown Financial Services could incur unexpected transaction costs such as taxes, fees or professional expenses or unexpected future operating expenses such as increased personnel costs or increased taxes, which could result in the merger not being as accretive as expected or having a dilutive effect on the combined company’s earnings per share.

Former Hamilton Bancorp stockholders will have limited ability to influence Orrstown Financial Services’ actions and decisions following the merger.

Following the merger, former Hamilton Bancorp stockholders are expected to hold approximately [ • ]% of the outstanding shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock. As a result, former Hamilton Bancorp stockholders will have limited ability to influence Orrstown Financial Services’ business. Former Hamilton Bancorp stockholders will not have separate approval rights with respect to any actions or decisions of Orrstown Financial Services or have separate representation on Orrstown Financial Services’ board of directors.

The shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock to be received by Hamilton Bancorp stockholders as a result of the merger will have different rights from shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock.

Following completion of the merger, Hamilton Bancorp stockholders will no longer be stockholders of Hamilton Bancorp and will instead be stockholders of Orrstown Financial Services. There will be important differences between your current rights as a Hamilton Bancorp stockholder and the rights to which you will be entitled as an Orrstown Financial Services stockholder. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Comparison of Stockholder Rights” beginning on page 161 for a discussion of the different rights associated with Orrstown Financial Services common stock and Hamilton Bancorp common stock.

The market price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock after the merger may be affected by factors different from those affecting the shares of Orrstown Financial Services or Hamilton Bancorp currently.

The businesses of Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp differ and, accordingly, the results of operations of the combined company and the market price of the combined company’s shares of common stock may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of operations and market prices of common stock of each of Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp. The market value of Orrstown Financial Services common stock fluctuates based upon various factors, including changes in the business, operations or prospects of Orrstown Financial Services, market assessments of the merger, regulatory considerations, market and economic considerations, and other factors. Further, the market price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock after the merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the common stock of Orrstown Financial Services or Hamilton Bancorp. For a discussion of the businesses of Hamilton Bancorp and Orrstown Financial Services and of certain factors to consider in connection with those businesses, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “The Companies – Orrstown Financial Services” and “– Hamilton Bancorp” and the documents incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus and referred to under “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 185.

Pending litigation and legal proceedings and the impact of any finding of liability or damages could adversely impact Orrstown Financial Services and its financial condition and results of operations.

Pending litigation and legal proceedings, and the impact of any finding of liability or damages, could adversely impact Orrstown Financial Services and its financial condition and results of operations. On May 25, 2012, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (“SEPTA”) filed a putative class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania against Orrstown Financial Services, Orrstown Bank, and certain of its current and former directors and executive officers alleging, among other things, that Orrstown Financial Services issued materially false and misleading statements regarding its lending practices and financial results, and did not publicly disclose certain alleged failures of internal controls over loan underwriting, risk management, and financial reporting, in violation of the federal securities laws. Following briefing on defendants’ motions to dismiss, the Court dismissed SEPTA’s first amended complaint in its entirety. SEPTA then filed a second amended complaint which, after a second round of motions, the Court dismissed in part.

SEPTA’s second amended complaint disclosed the existence of a confidential, non-public, fact-finding inquiry regarding the Company conducted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). On September 27, 2016, without admitting or denying any of the Commission’s findings, Orrstown Financial Services entered into a settlement agreement with the SEC resolving the investigation of accounting and related matters. As part of the settlement agreement, Orrstown Financial Services agreed to pay a civil money penalty of $1 million.

On January 31, 2017, the District Court entered a revised Case Management Order in the SEPTA case establishing the schedule for litigation of the surviving claims against the remaining defendants. The Case Management Order, among other things, set the deadlines for the completion of discovery, the filing of motions, and various pre-trial conferences. A class has not yet been certified. While trial had been scheduled to begin on January 7, 2019, on February 28, 2018, the Court issued an Order continuing all case management deadlines until further order of the Court. Discovery in the case is ongoing.

Orrstown Financial Services believes that the allegations of SEPTA’s second amended complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against those claims. It is not possible at this time to estimate reasonably possible losses, or even a range of reasonably possible losses, in connection with the litigation. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “The Merger – Recommendation of the Hamilton Bancorp Board of Directors and Hamilton Bancorp’s Reasons for the Merger” beginning on page 40.

Hamilton Bancorp will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on Hamilton Bancorp. These uncertainties may impair Hamilton Bancorp’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed, and could cause customers and others who deal with Hamilton Bancorp to seek to change existing business relationships with Hamilton Bancorp. Hamilton Bancorp employee retention and recruitment may be particularly challenging prior to the effective time of the merger, as employees and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company.

The pursuit of the merger and the preparation for the integration may place a significant burden on management and internal resources. Any significant diversion of management attention away from ongoing business and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could affect Hamilton Bancorp’s financial results. In addition, the merger agreement requires that Hamilton Bancorp operate in the usual, regular and ordinary course of business and restricts Hamilton Bancorp from taking certain actions prior to the effective time of the merger or termination of the merger agreement without Orrstown Financial Services’ consent. These restrictions may prevent Hamilton Bancorp from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger.

Hamilton Bancorp stockholders will not have dissenters’ rights in the merger.

Dissenters’ rights are statutory rights that, if applicable under law, enable stockholders to dissent from an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, and to demand that the corporation pay the fair value for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the consideration offered to stockholders in connection with the extraordinary transaction. Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, a stockholder may not dissent from a merger as to shares that are listed on a national securities exchange at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders to vote upon the agreement of merger or consolidation.

28

##### Table of Contents

Because Hamilton Bancorp common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, a national securities exchange, and is expected to continue to be so listed on the record date, and because the merger otherwise satisfies the foregoing requirements of the Maryland General Corporation Law, holders of Hamilton Bancorp common stock will not be entitled to dissenters’ rights in the merger with respect to their shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock.

Orrstown Financial Services will be able to issue additional shares of its common stock in the future, which may adversely affect the market price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock and dilute the holdings of existing stockholders.

In the future, Orrstown Financial Services may issue additional shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock in connection with another acquisition, to increase its capital resources or if Orrstown Financial Services’ or Orrstown Bank’s capital ratios fall below or near the Basel III regulatory required minimums. Additional common stock offerings may dilute the holdings of Orrstown Financial Services’ existing stockholders or reduce the market price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock, or both. Orrstown Financial Services may also issue shares of Orrstown Financial Services preferred stock, which may be viewed as having adverse effects upon the holders of common stock.

Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee and you do not give instructions to the broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares at the special meeting, your broker, bank or other nominee may not vote your shares with respect to any of the proposals. Proxies submitted by a broker that do not exercise this voting authority are also known as “broker non-votes.”

An abstention is a decision by a stockholder to take a neutral position on a proposal being submitted to stockholders at a meeting.

Effect of Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions on Quorum and the Votes Required at the Special Meeting

The affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting is required to approve the merger agreement, and the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the votes cast at the special meeting is required to approve the proposal to approve merger-related executive compensation and any adjournment proposal. Because broker non-votes and abstentions are not considered a vote approving any proposal submitted at the special meeting, broker non-votes and abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal to approve the merger agreement. However, broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal to approve merger-related executive compensation or the adjournment proposal, but abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the adjournment proposal.

How Will Shares be Voted

All shares represented by valid unrevoked proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions on the proxy card. If you return a signed proxy card, but make no specification on the card as to how you want your shares voted, your proxy will be voted “FOR” approval of the foregoing proposals. The board of directors of Hamilton Bancorp is presently unaware of any other matter that may be presented for action at the special meeting of stockholders. If any other matter does properly come before the special meeting, the board of directors of Hamilton Bancorp intends that shares represented by properly submitted proxies will be voted, or not voted, by and in accordance with the directions of the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors.

Revocation of Proxies

A proxy may be revoked at any time before it is voted at the special meeting by:

| • |  | Filing a written revocation of the proxy with the Secretary of Hamilton Bancorp, Robin L. Thiess, 501 Fairmount Avenue, Suite 200, Towson, Maryland 21286;

| • |  | Submitting a new signed proxy card by mail bearing a later date, or by submitting a new vote over the Internet or by telephone (any earlier proxies will be revoked automatically); or

| • |  | Attending the special meeting and voting in person provided you are the holder of record of your shares and have filed a written revocation of your grant of proxy with the Secretary of Hamilton Bancorp as indicated above.

If you hold your shares in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, you will need to contact your nominee in order to revoke your proxy. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a broker or bank, you may only change your vote in person if you have a legal proxy in your name from Broadridge Financial Solutions or your broker or bank.

Participants in the Hamilton Bank 401(k) Plan may revoke their instructions to the Hamilton Bank 401(k) Plan trustee with respect to voting of the shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock held in their Hamilton Bank 401(k) Plan account by submitting to the Hamilton Bank 401(k) Plan trustee a signed instruction card bearing a later date, provided that such new instruction card must be received by the Hamilton Bank 401(k) Plan trustee on or prior to the last date for submission of such instructions with respect to the Hamilton Bancorp special meeting designated in the separate voting instructions provided by the Hamilton Bank 401(k) Plan trustee.

PROPOSAL NO. 1—APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

At the special meeting, stockholders of Hamilton Bancorp will consider and vote on a proposal to approve the merger agreement. Details about the merger, including each party’s reasons for the merger, the effect of approval of the merger agreement, and the timing of effectiveness of the merger, are discussed in the section entitled “The Merger” beginning on page 36 of this document.

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting. If you abstain or do not vote, it will have the same effect as voting “AGAINST” approval of the merger agreement and the merger.

Hamilton Bancorp’s board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the merger agreement.

PROPOSAL NO. 2—MERGER-RELATED EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Hamilton Bancorp is providing its stockholders with the opportunity to vote, on a non-binding, advisory basis, to approve the agreements or understandings between Hamilton Bancorp’s named executive officers and Hamilton Bancorp, Orrstown Financial Services and/or Orrstown Bank concerning compensation that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger, as required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the applicable SEC rules issued thereunder, which were enacted pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. This proposal, commonly known as the “say on golden parachute” vote, gives Hamilton Bancorp stockholders the opportunity to vote on a non-binding, advisory basis on such agreements or understandings and the related compensation that will or may be paid to its named executive officers in connection with the merger. This non-binding, advisory proposal relates only to already existing contractual obligations of Hamilton Bancorp, Orrstown Financial Services and/or Orrstown Bank that may result in a payment or benefit to Hamilton Bancorp’s named executive officers in connection with, or following, the consummation of the merger and does not relate to any new compensation or other arrangements that may be entered into after the effective time of the merger between Hamilton Bancorp’s named executive officers and Orrstown Financial Services or any of its subsidiaries.

The board of directors of Hamilton Bancorp believes that the compensation payments that Hamilton Bancorp’s named executive officers may be entitled to receive in connection with the merger, as summarized in the section entitled “Interests of Hamilton Bancorp’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger—Quantification of Potential Payments to Hamilton Bancorp Named Executive Officers in Connection with the Merger,” are reasonable and demonstrate that Hamilton Bancorp’s executive compensation program was designed appropriately and structured to ensure the retention of talented executives and a strong alignment with the long-term interests of Hamilton Bancorp’s stockholders. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation that may become payable to Hamilton Bancorp’s named executive officers in connection with the completion of the merger. The board of directors of Hamilton Bancorp encourages you to carefully review the compensation information disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus, including in the section referenced above.

The board of directors of Hamilton Bancorp is presenting this proposal, which gives stockholders of Hamilton Bancorp the opportunity to express their views on the “golden parachute” compensation by voting for or against the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Hamilton Bancorp approve, solely on a non-binding, advisory basis, the agreements or understandings between Hamilton Bancorp’s named executive officers and Hamilton Bancorp and the related compensation that will or may be paid to its named executive officers in connection with the merger, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K in the section of the proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Interests of Hamilton Bancorp’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger—Quantification of Potential Payments to Hamilton Bancorp Named Executive Officers in Connection with the Merger.”

The vote on merger-related executive compensation is a vote separate and apart from the vote on the approval of the merger agreement and is not a condition to completion of the merger. Accordingly, you may vote to approve the merger agreement and vote not to approve merger-related executive compensation and vice versa. This proposal is merely an advisory vote and will not be binding on Hamilton Bancorp, Orrstown Financial Services or Orrstown Bank or the board of directors of Hamilton Bancorp or the board of directors of Orrstown Financial Services regardless of whether the merger agreement is adopted. Further, the underlying agreements and understandings are contractual in nature and not, by their terms, subject to stockholder approval. Regardless of the outcome of the advisory vote, if the merger is completed, Hamilton Bancorp’s named executive officers will be eligible to receive the merger-related executive compensation payments and benefits, in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to those payments and benefits.

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast at the special meeting. If you do not vote, either in person or by proxy, it will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. Proxies marked abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” this proposal.

Hamilton Bancorp’s board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of merger-related executive compensation.

PROPOSAL NO. 3—ADJOURNMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING

Hamilton Bancorp is also submitting a proposal for consideration at the special meeting to authorize the named proxies to approve one or more adjournments of the special meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve the merger agreement and the merger at the time of the special meeting. Even though a quorum may be present at the special meeting, it is possible that Hamilton Bancorp may not have received sufficient votes to approve the merger agreement and the merger by the time of the special meeting. In that event, Hamilton Bancorp would need to adjourn the special meeting in order to solicit additional proxies.

To allow the proxies that have been received by Hamilton Bancorp at the time of the special meeting to be voted for an adjournment, if necessary, Hamilton Bancorp is submitting a proposal to approve one or more adjournments, and only under those circumstances, to you for consideration. If the new date, time and place are announced at the special meeting before the adjournment, Hamilton Bancorp is not required to give notice of the time and place of the adjourned meeting, unless the board of directors fixes a new record date for the special meeting.

The adjournment proposal relates only to an adjournment of the special meeting occurring for purposes of soliciting additional proxies for approval of the merger agreement and the merger in the event that there are insufficient votes to approve that proposal. The Hamilton Bancorp board of directors retains full authority to the extent set forth in the Hamilton Bancorp bylaws and applicable law to adjourn the special meeting for any other purpose, or to postpone the special meeting before it is convened, without the consent of any Hamilton Bancorp stockholders.

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the special meeting. If you do not vote, either in person or by proxy, it will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. Proxies marked abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” this proposal.

Hamilton Bancorp’s board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary.

THE MERGER

General

Under the terms and conditions set forth in the merger agreement, Hamilton Bancorp will merge with and into Orrstown Financial Services. The surviving corporation in the merger will be Orrstown Financial Services. Pursuant to the merger agreement, if the merger agreement is approved by the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting and the merger is subsequently completed, each outstanding share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock will be converted into the right to receive (1) 0.54 shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock and (2) $4.10 in cash, without interest, subject to possible reduction as set forth in the merger agreement based on potential losses, write-downs, or reserves related to certain identified loans of Hamilton Bank. The maximum possible reduction to the cash consideration is $1,000,000, or approximately $0.27 per share, based on 3,416,414 shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock and 262,704 stock options outstanding as of the record date.

No fractional shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock will be issued in connection with the merger. Instead, each Hamilton Bancorp stockholder will receive an amount of cash, in lieu of any fractional share, based on the average daily closing price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock as reported on NASDAQ for the ten consecutive trading day period ending on the fifth business day prior to the closing date of the merger, rounded to the nearest whole cent.

As of the date of the merger agreement, based on the closing price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock of $23.10 and assuming no reduction in the cash consideration, Hamilton Bancorp stockholders would have received Orrstown Financial Services common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares in the merger with an implied value per share equal to $16.57. Based on the closing price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock of $[ • ] per share on [ • ], the most recent practicable date prior to the mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus, Hamilton Bancorp stockholders would receive Orrstown Financial Services common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares in the merger with an implied value per share equal to $[ • ].

Hamilton Bancorp has the right to terminate the merger agreement if the volume weighted average stock price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock as reported on NASDAQ for the 15 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the determination date (1) is less than $20.1535 per share and (2) underperforms the volume weighted average price of the NASDAQ Bank Index for the 15 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the determination date by more than 15%. If Hamilton Bancorp exercises this termination right, Orrstown Financial Services will have the option to increase the exchange ratio or the cash consideration to be provided to Hamilton Bancorp stockholders to an amount which would compensate Hamilton Bancorp stockholders for the extent of the decrease in the price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock below the minimum implied value that would have avoided triggering the termination right described above. If Orrstown Financial Services elects to increase the merger consideration pursuant to the preceding sentence, no termination will occur. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “The Merger Agreement—Termination” beginning on page 66.

Background of the Merger

Hamilton Bancorp was established to become Hamilton Bank’s holding company in connection with Hamilton Bank’s mutual-to-stock conversion in October 2012. Since that time, Hamilton Bancorp has sought to deploy its capital and increase stockholder value by creating sustainable and profitable growth through both organic growth and through acquisitions. As part of this strategy, Hamilton Bancorp acquired Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. in September 2015, and Fraternity Community Bancorp, Inc. in May 2016. Since these acquisitions, Hamilton Bancorp’s board of directors and management have continued to periodically review strategic opportunities, as well as the challenges faced in profitably growing a publicly-traded community financial institution under existing economic and competitive conditions.

At Hamilton Bancorp’s November 2017 annual strategic planning session, discussions centered around strategic options for Hamilton Bancorp, including remaining independent, pursuing a strategic merger partner or a sale of Hamilton Bancorp. The meeting was attended by representatives of Hamilton Bank’s legal advisor, Luse Gorman, PC, and also representatives of KBW. At this meeting, KBW provided input to the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors regarding the prospects of Hamilton Bancorp as an independent entity, including scenarios involving additional growth and potential capital raising transactions. KBW also discussed Hamilton Bancorp pursuing a merger or sale and potential merger partners for Hamilton Bancorp for the board of directors to consider if the board of directors were to decide to move forward with a merger or sale strategy. The Hamilton Bancorp board of directors did not make any determination as to a possible merger or sale transaction at the November 2017 planning session. The Board requested that management continue to assess the business prospects of Hamilton Bancorp on a stand-alone basis and the prospects of implementing improvements and enhancements to the Hamilton Bancorp operations to increase earnings in both the short and long term.

##### Table of Contents

At a January 16, 2018 meeting of the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors, KBW provided an update regarding strategic alternatives and further discussed the state of the market for financial institution mergers and acquisitions. Mr. DeAlmeida provided an overview and update on Hamilton Bancorp’s operations, expected budget for the upcoming year and an analysis regarding the prospects for improvements and enhancements to Hamilton Bancorp’s operations. The board of directors then discussed the ability of Hamilton Bancorp to improve its earnings performance and the steps necessary and the likelihood of successfully implementing those improvements in the short and long term and the strategic direction of Hamilton Bancorp that would be in the best interests of its stockholders. After further discussion, the board of directors determined that it may be in the best interest of stockholders, customers, employees and other constituents, to pursue a merger transaction with the right partner. The Board discussed with KBW the process for assessing the market for Hamilton Bancorp and selecting a merger partner, and established a Strategic Committee (the “Strategic Committee”) to assist the board in continuing to explore a possible merger transaction and to work with management and Hamilton Bancorp’s advisors on such exploration. The Strategic Committee was authorized to, with the assistance of management, KBW and Luse Gorman, formulate a merger solicitation strategy and prepare a list of potential interested parties that would be solicited as part of any merger solicitation strategy.

At a February 2, 2018 meeting of the Strategic Committee, the merger solicitation and transaction process was discussed. At this meeting, KBW reviewed with the Strategic Committee several possible merger partners, which included financial institutions that had previously expressed an interest in, and others that might have an interest in, a merger transaction with Hamilton Bancorp. Possible merger partners were identified based on, among other factors, their apparent financial capacity to pay, regulatory standing, geographic location, presence and market share of the financial institutions. The Strategic Committee also discussed and approved the engagement of KBW to act as financial advisor to Hamilton Bancorp in connection with a possible merger transaction and solicitation process.

Between March and June 2018, Hamilton Bancorp, with the assistance of KBW, prepared for the merger candidate solicitation process. The Hamilton Bancorp board of directors reviewed and approved a confidential information memorandum containing relevant information about Hamilton Bancorp (the “Confidential Memorandum”). Beginning in May 2018, KBW contacted the 11 potential merger partners approved by the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors and a virtual data room containing the Confidential Memorandum and additional information about Hamilton Bancorp was opened at such time to those parties who entered into a non-disclosure agreement and expressed an interest in receiving additional information regarding a transaction with Hamilton Bancorp. Interested potential partners were asked to provide preliminary non-binding indications of interest by July 16, 2018.

In addition to the 11 parties solicited by KBW, an additional party which had not been among the possible merger partners discussed by KBW with the Hamilton Bancorp board contacted KBW directly through a financial advisor on July 3, 2018 expressing an interest in participating in the process. After consulting with representatives of KBW and Luse Gorman regarding this inbound outreach, the Hamilton Bancorp board approved KBW providing this party with a non-disclosure agreement and providing it with access to the virtual data room.

The Hamilton Bancorp board of directors held a special meeting on July 21, 2018, in which KBW and Luse Gorman participated. Luse Gorman discussed with directors their fiduciary duties in the context of a merger transaction. KBW updated the board of directors on the results of the solicitation of interest in a merger transaction. Of the 12 institutions which had been contacted by, or which had contacted, KBW, eight requested the Confidential Memorandum and were granted access to the virtual data room and two of these financial institutions, Orrstown Financial Services and Company A had submitted written non-binding indications of interest. One additional financial institution had expressed a verbal interest at a low valuation level, but did not submit a written non-binding indication of interest and was not invited to conduct additional due diligence.

The Orrstown Financial Services indication of interest included proposed merger consideration of between $16.50 and $17.50 per share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock, payable in a mix of stock and cash to be determined upon mutual agreement, while the Company A indication of interest included proposed merger consideration of $16.12 per share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock, payable 85% in stock and 15% in cash.

After reviewing the indications of interest and the information regarding the operations of Orrstown Financial Services and Company A, the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors unanimously agreed to ask that both bidders complete additional due diligence both in-person and through additional information uploaded into the virtual data room and submit a revised indication of interest with their best offer.

##### Table of Contents

During the weekend of August 4th and 5th, Company A conducted its in-person due diligence including a detailed review of Hamilton Bancorp’s loan portfolio. Orrstown Financial services conducted its in-person due diligence, including a review of Hamilton Bancorp’s loan portfolio, over the days of August 6th through 8th.

On August 9, 2018, following the completion of on-site due diligence by both bidders, both Orrstown Financial Services and Company A were invited to submit final indications of interest by August 16, 2018.

The board of directors of Hamilton Bancorp held a special meeting on August 20, 2018 to consider the revised indications of interest submitted by Orrstown Financial Services and Company A. The revised indication of interest of Orrstown Financial Services included merger consideration of $17.50 per share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock, payable in up to 80% in stock and 20% in cash and subject to a fixed exchange ratio which would be set upon a mutually agreed upon methodology prior to the execution of a definitive agreement. The revised indication of interest of Company A included merger consideration of $17.02 per share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock, payable 85% in stock and 15% in cash and subject to a fixed exchange ratio that would be based upon a 10-day average price for Company A’s common stock prior the signing of a definitive agreement. Further, the financial advisor to Company A called KBW unsolicited on the morning of August 20, 2018 and verbally expressed an ability for Company A to revise its indication of interest to $17.10 per share.

KBW reviewed the two proposals with the board of directors, including the differences in the pricing, structures and key elements of both proposals. KBW also reviewed with the board of directors the operations of both Orrstown Financial Services and Company A, and the current market for, and trading history of, the common stock of each party. KBW also compared financial aspects of each proposal. At this meeting the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors decided to move forward with a merger transaction with Orrstown Financial Services based on the superior price offered by Orrstown Financial Services and a determination by the board of directors and management that a merger with Orrstown Financial Services would provide greater value to stockholders and be a better cultural and operational fit with Hamilton Bancorp as compared to Company A. Hamilton Bancorp accepted and executed the Orrstown Financial Services indication of interest on August 27, 2018, which included an exclusivity period expiring on October 11, 2018.

On September 12, 2018, Hamilton Bancorp’s management and Luse Gorman conducted reverse due diligence on Orrstown Financial Services. On that same date, Goodwin Procter LLP, counsel for Orrstown Financial Services, provided an initial draft of the merger agreement to Luse Gorman.

On September 18, 2018, Hamilton Bancorp’s management and Luse Gorman provided to the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors a summary of the reverse due diligence conducted on Orrstown Financial Services. At that meeting, the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors and management also discussed the draft merger agreement. The Hamilton Bancorp board of directors expressed concern regarding the outstanding litigation of Orrstown Financial Services. Due in part to concerns regarding such litigation, the board of directors requested that Luse Gorman include in the merger agreement pricing protection in the form of a “double trigger walkaway” provision, which provision had not been included in Orrstown Financial Services’ indication of interest or in the draft merger agreement. This provision would give Hamilton Bancorp the right to terminate the merger agreement if the price of Orrstown Financial Services’ common stock were to fall by more than a specified percentage compared to both its initial value and the Nasdaq Bank Index.

On September 19, 2018, representatives of Hovde Group, LLC, financial advisor to Orrstown Financial Services, called KBW to propose fixing the exchange ratio at that point as a result of declines in the market price for Orrstown Financial Services common stock after submission of the indication of interest on August 16, 2018. Hovde informed KBW that Orrstown Financial Services was proposing that the merger consideration be set at $3.50 in cash and 0.5500 shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock for each share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock. Based on the closing price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock of $23.65 per share on September 19, 2018, the implied merger consideration to Hamilton Bancorp’s stockholders as of that day would have been $16.74 per share.

On September 20, 2018, the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors held a meeting to discuss whether to proceed with the negotiation of a merger agreement based on the revised pricing being offered by Orrstown Financial Services. KBW participated in the meeting and discussed the rationale provided by Orrstown Financial Services for the determination of the revised merger consideration. With the participation of KBW and Luse Gorman, the board of directors evaluated its options, including whether to re-engage negotiations with Company A to determine if Company A’s offer from August 16, 2018 was still available or to continue negotiations with Orrstown Financial Services. It was noted that Orrstown Financial Services’

38

##### Table of Contents

counsel had conveyed to Luse Gorman that Orrstown Financial Services would terminate negotiations if Hamilton Bancorp pursued negotiations with other parties. Following this meeting, the board of directors instructed KBW to make a counter proposal on September 21, 2018 for an increased merger consideration, either by increasing the stock portion of the consideration or by increasing the cash portion, based upon the preference of Orrstown Financial Services, but to also inform Orrstown Financial Services and its advisor specifically that their proposed exchange ratio was not acceptable. Based on the closing price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock of $24.05 per share on September 20, 2018, the approximate value of the merger consideration requested by the Hamilton Bancorp board through an increase in either cash or stock consideration was $17.21 per share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock.

On September 28, 2018, Orrstown Financial Services proposed revised merger consideration of $4.10 in cash and 0.5400 shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock, per share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock. Based on the closing price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock of $23.80 per share on September 29, 2018 (when the board considered the offer), the implied merger consideration to Hamilton Bancorp’s stockholders as of that day would have been $16.95 per share of Hamilton Bancorp stock.

On September 29, 2018, members of the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors and management, and representatives of KBW and Luse Gorman discussed the proposed revised merger consideration. At this meeting, the board of directors determined to accept the revised offer of $4.10 in cash and 0.5400 shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock per share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock, subject to the favorable resolution of all remaining unresolved issues in the merger agreement.

On October 1 through October 5, 2018, negotiations regarding the terms of the merger agreement continued. On October 5, 2018, Hamilton Bancorp provided additional information to Orrstown Financial Services regarding a group of construction loans made to separate borrowers using the same home builder. Hamilton Bancorp had recently been informed that the home builder will not be able to complete construction of the homes underlying the construction loan. Orrstown Financial Services indicated that it required more information regarding these loans before it would continue to negotiate the merger agreement.

On October 9, 2018, the parties executed an extension of the exclusivity period contained in the indication of interest, which extended the exclusivity period until October 25, 2018.

After gathering additional diligence regarding the potential problem home construction loans, on October 21, 2018, the parties agreed to a provision in the merger agreement by which the cash portion of the merger consideration would be subject to an adjustment downward of the cash consideration of up to $0.27 per share, to a minimum of $3.83 cash per share, based on future losses, write-downs or reserves related to two of the subject construction loans. The stock portion of the exchange ratio would not be affected by any adjustment, and would remain at 0.5400 shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock per share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock.

On October 23, 2018, the board of directors of Hamilton Bancorp held a special meeting to review the proposed merger agreement and merger with representatives of KBW and Luse Gorman. The board of directors was informed of and discussed the new merger agreement provision establishing a potential reduction in the merger consideration for future losses associated with the two construction loans. KBW then reviewed with the board the financial aspects of the proposed merger and, at the request of the board, rendered to the board of directors of Hamilton Bancorp a written opinion to the effect that, as of such date and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by KBW as set forth in its written opinion, the merger consideration in the proposed merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Hamilton Bancorp common stock. Luse Gorman again reviewed the board’s fiduciary duties as directors of Hamilton Bancorp in connection with its consideration of the proposed merger.

The Hamilton Bancorp board of directors and Luse Gorman then reviewed in detail the terms of the ancillary documents, including the voting agreements to be entered into by the directors and executive officers. The Hamilton Bancorp board of directors also reviewed and discussed the employment agreement by and among Ellen Fish, Hamilton Bancorp’s Executive Vice President, under which Ms. Fish will join Orrstown Bank as Executive Vice President and Senior Lender effective upon consummation of the merger agreement. Luse Gorman also discussed the proposed resolutions that the board would be requested to approve. Following these presentations and discussion among the members of the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors, including consideration of the factors described under “– Hamilton Bancorp’s Reasons for the Merger; Board Recommendation,” the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were advisable and in the best interests of Hamilton Bancorp and its stockholders. The Hamilton Bancorp directors unanimously voted to adopt and approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and recommended that Hamilton Bancorp’s stockholders approve the merger agreement.

| • |  | the challenges facing Hamilton Bancorp’s management to grow Hamilton Bancorp’s franchise and enhance stockholder value given current market conditions, including the challenges involved with increasing its efficiencies and raising the capital necessary to fund growth, and expected increased operating costs resulting from such growth plans and from increased regulatory and compliance mandates;

| • |  | the results of the solicitation process conducted by Hamilton Bancorp, with the assistance of its advisors;

| • |  | that approximately 75% of the merger consideration (as calculated at the time of entering into the merger agreement and assuming no downward adjustment of the cash merger consideration) would be in stock of Orrstown Financial Services, which would allow Hamilton Bancorp stockholders to participate in the future performance of the combined company;

| • |  | the legal analyses as to the structure of the merger, the merger agreement, the fiduciary and legal obligations applicable to directors when considering a sale or merger of a company, and the process that Hamilton Bancorp (including its board of directors) employed in considering potential strategic alternatives, including the merger with Orrstown Financial Services;

| • |  | the results of the solicitation process conducted by Hamilton Bancorp, with the advice and assistance of its advisors;

| • |  | the terms of the merger agreement, including the large proportion of stock consideration and the expected tax treatment of the merger as a “reorganization” for United States federal income tax purposes;

| • |  | certain structural protections included in the merger agreement, including:

| • |  | that the merger agreement does not preclude a third party from making an unsolicited acquisition proposal to Hamilton Bancorp and that, under certain circumstances more fully described under “The Merger Agreement – No Solicitation; Acquisition Proposals,” Hamilton Bancorp may furnish non-public information to, and enter into discussions with, such a third party regarding an acquisition proposal;

##### Table of Contents

| • |  | the challenges of integrating Hamilton Bancorp’s business, operations and employees with those of Orrstown Financial Services;

| • |  | that Orrstown Financial Services had recently completed the acquisition of another financial institution and the challenges of integrating two different institutions with Orrstown Financial Services’ operations in a short period of time;

| • |  | the restrictions on the conduct of Hamilton Bancorp’s business before the completion of the merger, which are customary for public company merger agreements involving financial institutions, but which, subject to specific exceptions, could delay or prevent Hamilton Bancorp from undertaking business opportunities that may arise or any other action it would otherwise take with respect to the operations of Hamilton Bancorp absent the pending merger;

| • |  | that the interests of certain of Hamilton Bancorp’s directors and officers may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Hamilton Bancorp’s other stockholders as described under the heading “Interests of Hamilton Bancorp’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger;”

| • |  | the possibility of a reduction in the trading price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock following the announcement of the merger agreement and prior to completion of the merger;

| • |  | that a termination fee in the amount of $2,212,500 would have to be paid to Orrstown Financial Services if Hamilton Bancorp determined to terminate the merger agreement to accept a superior proposal and under certain other circumstances described under “The Merger Agreement – Termination;”

| • |  | the impact that provisions of the merger agreement relating to payment of a termination fee by Hamilton Bancorp may have on Hamilton Bancorp receiving an alternative proposal;

| • |  | the possibility of litigation in connection with the merger.

This discussion of the information and factors considered by Hamilton Bancorp’s board of directors in reaching its conclusions and recommendation includes the factors identified above, but is not intended to be exhaustive and may not include all of the factors considered by the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and the complexity of these matters, the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors did not find it useful and did not attempt to quantify, rank or assign any relative or specific weights to the various factors that it considered in reaching its determination to approve the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and to make its recommendation to Hamilton Bancorp stockholders. Rather, the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors viewed its decisions as being based on the totality of the information presented to it and the factors it considered. In addition, individual members of the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors may have assigned different weights to different factors.

Certain of Hamilton Bancorp’s directors and executive officers have financial interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of Hamilton Bancorp’s stockholders generally. The Hamilton Bancorp board of directors was aware of and considered these potential interests, among other matters, in evaluating the merger and in making its recommendation to Hamilton Bancorp stockholders. For a discussion of these interests, see “Interests of Certain Directors and Officers of Hamilton Bancorp in the Merger.”

##### Table of Contents

For the reasons set forth above, Hamilton Bancorp’s board of directors has unanimously approved the merger pursuant to the merger agreement, has determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger and merger consideration, as may be adjusted, are advisable and in the best interests of Hamilton Bancorp and its stockholders, and unanimously recommends that Hamilton Bancorp stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the merger, “FOR” approval of the Merger-Related Executive Compensation Proposal, and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors in evaluating the transaction is not intended to be exhaustive, but, rather, includes all material factors considered by the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors. In reaching its decision to approve the transaction, the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors did not quantify or assign relative weights to the factors considered, and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. The Hamilton Bancorp board of directors evaluated the factors described above and determined that the transaction was in the best interests of Hamilton Bancorp. It should be noted that this explanation of the reasoning of Hamilton Bancorp’s board of directors and all other information in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under the heading “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 29.

Opinion of Hamilton Bancorp’s Financial Advisor

Hamilton Bancorp engaged KBW to render financial advisory and investment banking services to Hamilton Bancorp, including an opinion to the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors dated October 23, 2018 as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Hamilton Bancorp common stock of the merger consideration to be received by such stockholders in the proposed merger of Hamilton Bancorp with and into Orrstown Financial Services. Hamilton Bancorp selected KBW because KBW is a nationally recognized investment banking firm with substantial experience in transactions similar to the merger. As part of its investment banking business, KBW is continually engaged in the valuation of financial services businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions.

As part of its engagement, representatives of KBW participated telephonically in the meeting of the Hamilton Bancorp board held on October 23, 2018, at which the Hamilton Bancorp board evaluated the proposed merger. At this meeting, KBW reviewed the financial aspects of the proposed merger with the Hamilton Bancorp board and rendered to the Hamilton Bancorp board an opinion to the effect that, as of such date and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by KBW as set forth in its opinion, the merger consideration in the proposed merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Hamilton Bancorp common stock. The Hamilton Bancorp board approved the merger agreement at this meeting.

The description of the opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion, which is attached as Annex B to this document and is incorporated herein by reference, and describes the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by KBW in preparing the opinion.

KBW’s opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion was for the information of, and was directed to, the Hamilton Bancorp board (in its capacity as such) in connection with its consideration of the financial terms of the merger. The opinion addressed only the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration in the merger to the holders of Hamilton Bancorp common stock. It did not address the underlying business decision of Hamilton Bancorp to engage in the merger or enter into the merger agreement or constitute a recommendation to the Hamilton Bancorp board in connection with the merger, and it does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of Hamilton Bancorp common stock or any stockholder of any other entity as to how to vote in connection with the merger or any other matter, nor does it constitute a recommendation regarding whether or not any such stockholder should enter into a voting, stockholders’, or affiliates’ agreement with respect to the merger.

KBW’s opinion was reviewed and approved by KBW’s Fairness Opinion Committee in conformity with its policies and procedures established under the requirements of Rule 5150 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

| • |  | financial and operating forecasts and projections of Orrstown Financial Services that were prepared by, and provided to KBW and discussed with KBW by, Orrstown Financial Services management and used and relied upon by KBW based on such discussions, at the direction of Hamilton Bancorp management and with the consent of the Hamilton Bancorp board;

##### Table of Contents

| • |  | estimates regarding certain pro forma financial effects of the merger on Orrstown Financial Services (including, without limitation, the cost savings and related expenses expected to result or be derived from the merger) that were prepared by, and provided to and discussed with KBW by, the management of Orrstown Financial Services, and used and relied upon by KBW based on such discussions, at the direction of Hamilton Bancorp management and with the consent of the Hamilton Bancorp board.

KBW also performed such other studies and analyses as it considered appropriate and took into account its assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions and its experience in other transactions, as well as its experience in securities valuation and knowledge of the banking industry generally. KBW also participated in discussions with the managements of Hamilton Bancorp and Orrstown Financial Services regarding the past and current business operations, regulatory relations, financial condition and future prospects of their respective companies and such other matters as KBW deemed relevant to its inquiry. In addition, KBW considered the results of the efforts undertaken, with KBW’s assistance, by or on behalf of and at the direction of Hamilton Bancorp, to solicit indications of interest from third parties regarding a potential transaction with Hamilton Bancorp.

In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, KBW relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was provided to KBW or that was publicly available and KBW did not independently verify the accuracy or completeness of any such information or assume any responsibility or liability for such verification, accuracy or completeness. KBW relied upon the management of Hamilton Bancorp as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections of Hamilton Bancorp referred to above (and the assumptions and bases therefor), and KBW assumed that such forecasts and projections were reasonably prepared and represented the best currently available estimates and judgments of such management and that such forecasts and projections would be realized in the amounts and in the time periods estimated by such management. KBW further relied, with the consent of Hamilton Bancorp, upon Orrstown Financial Services management as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections of Orrstown Financial Services and the estimates regarding certain pro forma financial effects of the merger on Orrstown Financial Services (including, without limitation, the cost savings and related expenses expected to result or be derived from the merger), all as referred to above (and the assumptions and bases for all such information), and KBW assumed that all such information was reasonably prepared and represented the best currently available estimates and judgments of Orrstown Financial Services management and that the forecasts, projections and estimates reflected in such information would be realized in the amounts and in the time periods estimated by such management.

It is understood that the foregoing financial information of Hamilton Bancorp and Orrstown Financial Services that was provided to KBW was not prepared with the expectation of public disclosure and that such information was based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain (including, without limitation, factors related to general economic and competitive conditions) and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in such information. KBW assumed, based on discussions with the respective managements of Hamilton Bancorp and Orrstown Financial Services and with the consent of the Hamilton Bancorp board, that all such information provided a reasonable basis upon which KBW could form its opinion and KBW expressed no view as to any such information or the assumptions or bases therefor. KBW relied on all such information without independent verification or analysis and did not in any respect assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof.

KBW also assumed that there were no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of either Hamilton Bancorp or Orrstown Financial Services since the date of the last financial statements of each such entity that were made available to KBW. KBW is not an expert in the independent verification of the adequacy of allowances for loan and lease losses and KBW assumed, without independent verification and with Hamilton Bancorp’s consent, that the aggregate allowances for loan and lease losses for Hamilton Bancorp and Orrstown Financial Services are adequate to cover such losses. In rendering its opinion, KBW did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals or physical inspection of the property, assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Hamilton Bancorp or Orrstown Financial Services, the collateral securing any of such assets or liabilities, or the collectability of any such assets, nor did KBW examine any individual loan or credit files, nor did it evaluate the solvency, financial capability or fair value of Hamilton Bancorp or Orrstown Financial Services under any state or federal laws, including those relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other matters. Estimates of values of companies and assets do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or assets may actually be sold. Because such estimates are inherently

45

##### Table of Contents

subject to uncertainty, KBW assumed no responsibility or liability for their accuracy. In addition, KBW undertook no independent evaluation of any potential or actual litigation to which Hamilton Bancorp or Orrstown Financial Services was or may be a party or was or may be subject. KBW expressed no view or opinion as to the pending federal securities litigation against Orrstown Financial Services and certain current and former officers of Orrstown Financial Services, as to which KBW understood that Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp conducted such diligence and other investigations, and obtained such advice from legal counsel, as they deemed necessary and against which Orrstown Financial Services advised KBW that it intends to vigorously defend itself. With Hamilton Bancorp’s consent, KBW did not consider such litigation or any aspect, implication or effect thereof for purposes of its analyses. If the outcome of such litigation had been known or assumed to have a material effect on Orrstown Financial Services, then the conclusion reached in KBW’s opinion could have been affected. In addition, at the direction of Hamilton Bancorp, KBW gave no effect to any potential downward adjustment to the cash consideration (as provided in the merger agreement) for purposes of its opinion.

KBW assumed, in all respects material to its analyses:

| • |  | that the merger and any related transaction (including the bank subsidiary merger) would be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the merger agreement (the final terms of which KBW assumed would not differ in any respect material to KBW’s analyses from the execution copy reviewed and referred to above) with no adjustments to the merger consideration and with no other consideration or payments in respect of the Hamilton Bancorp common stock;

| • |  | that the representations and warranties of each party in the merger agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred to in the merger agreement were true and correct;

| • |  | that each party to the merger agreement and all related documents would perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party under such documents;

| • |  | that there were no factors that would delay or subject to any adverse conditions, any necessary regulatory or governmental approval for the merger or any related transactions (including the bank subsidiary merger) and that all conditions to the completion of the merger and any related transaction would be satisfied without any waivers or modifications to the merger agreement or any of the related documents; and

| • |  | that in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or approvals for the merger and any related transaction (including the subsidiary bank merger), no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, would be imposed that would have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of Hamilton Bancorp, Orrstown Financial Services or the pro forma entity, or the contemplated benefits of the merger, including without limitation the cost savings and related expenses expected to result or be derived from the merger.

KBW assumed that the merger would be consummated in a manner that complies with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and all other applicable federal and state statutes, rules and regulations. KBW was further advised by representatives of Hamilton Bancorp that Hamilton Bancorp relied upon advice from its advisors (other than KBW) or other appropriate sources as to all legal, financial reporting, tax, accounting and regulatory matters with respect to Hamilton Bancorp, Orrstown Financial Services, the merger and any related transaction (including the subsidiary bank merger), and the merger agreement. KBW did not provide advice with respect to any such matters.

KBW’s opinion addressed only the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date of the opinion, to the holders of Hamilton Bancorp common stock of the merger consideration to be received by such holders in the merger. KBW expressed no view or opinion as to any other terms or aspects of the merger or any term or aspect of any related transaction (including the subsidiary bank merger and the termination of the Hamilton Bank ESOP prior to the consummation of the merger), including without limitation, the form or structure of the merger (including the form of the merger consideration or the allocation thereof between cash and stock) or any such related transaction, any consequences of the merger or any related transaction to Hamilton Bancorp, its stockholders, creditors or otherwise, or any terms, aspects, merits or implications of any employment, consulting, voting, support, stockholder or other agreements, arrangements or understandings contemplated or entered into in connection with the merger or otherwise. KBW’s opinion was necessarily based upon conditions as they existed and could be evaluated on the date of such opinion and the information made available to KBW through such date. Developments subsequent to the date of KBW’s opinion may have affected, and may affect, the conclusion reached in KBW’s opinion and KBW did not and does not have an obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion. KBW’s opinion did not address, and KBW expressed no view or opinion with respect to:

| • |  | whether Orrstown Financial Services has sufficient cash, available lines of credit or other sources of funds to enable it to pay the aggregate cash consideration to the holders of Hamilton Bancorp common stock at the closing of the merger;

| • |  | the actual value of Orrstown Financial Services common stock to be issued in the merger;

| • |  | the prices, trading range or volume at which Hamilton Bancorp common stock and Orrstown Financial Services common stock would trade following the public announcement of the merger or the prices, trading range or volume at which Orrstown Financial Services common stock would trade following the consummation of the merger;

In performing its analyses, KBW made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, which are beyond the control of KBW, Hamilton Bancorp and Orrstown Financial Services. Any estimates contained in the analyses performed by KBW are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Additionally, estimates of the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which such businesses or securities might actually be sold. Accordingly, these analyses and estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. In addition, KBW’s opinion was among several factors taken into consideration by the Hamilton Bancorp board in making its determination to approve the merger agreement and the merger. Consequently, the analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative of the decision of the Hamilton Bancorp board with respect to the fairness of the merger consideration. The type and amount of consideration payable in the merger were determined through negotiation between Hamilton Bancorp and Orrstown Financial Services and the decision of Hamilton Bancorp to enter into the merger agreement was solely that of the Hamilton Bancorp board.

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses presented by KBW to the Hamilton Bancorp board in connection with its opinion. The summary is not a complete description of the financial analyses underlying the opinion or the presentation made by KBW to the Hamilton Bancorp board, but summarizes the material analyses performed and presented in connection with such opinion. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in

tabular format. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytic process involving various determinations as to appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, KBW did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor that it considered, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Accordingly, KBW believes that its analyses and the summary of its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing on the information presented below in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion.

For purposes of the financial analyses described below, KBW utilized an implied transaction value for the proposed merger of $16.85 per share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock, or $56.3 million in the aggregate (inclusive of the implied value of in-the-money Hamilton Bancorp stock options), consisting of the sum of (i) the cash consideration of $4.10 and (ii) the implied value of the stock consideration of 0.54 of a share of Orrstown Financial Services common stock based on the closing price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock on October 22, 2018. In addition to the financial analyses described below, KBW reviewed with the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors for informational purposes, among other things, the implied transaction multiple for the proposed merger (based on the implied transaction value for the proposed merger of $16.85 per share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock) of 37.5x Hamilton Bancorp’s estimated calendar year 2019 earnings per share (“EPS”) using financial forecasts and projections of Hamilton Bancorp provided by Hamilton Bancorp management.

Hamilton Bancorp Selected Companies Analysis. Using publicly available information, KBW compared the financial performance, financial condition and market performance of Hamilton Bancorp to 10 selected major exchange-traded banks and thrifts which were headquartered in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States and which had total assets between $250 million and $900 million. Merger targets and companies which would have total assets in excess of $900 million as a result of pending acquisitions were excluded from the selected companies.

The selected companies were as follows:

Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc. Severn Bancorp, Inc. Carver Bancorp, Inc. MSB Financial Corp. Esquire Financial Holdings, Inc. |  | Elmira Savings Bank Glen Burnie Bancorp WVS Financial Corp. FSB Bancorp, Inc. HV Bancorp, Inc.

To perform this analysis, KBW used profitability and other financial information for the latest 12 month (“LTM”) period available or as of the end of such period and market price information as of October 22, 2018. In the case of Hamilton Bancorp, KBW used both the 12-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018. KBW also used 2018 and 2019 EPS estimates taken from consensus “street estimates” for one of the selected companies for which consensus “street estimates” were available. Certain financial data prepared by KBW, and as referenced in the tables presented below, may not correspond to the data presented in Hamilton Bancorp’s historical financial statements, as a result of the different periods, assumptions and methods used by KBW to compute the financial data presented.

KBW’s analysis showed the following concerning the financial performance of Hamilton Bancorp and the selected companies:

LTM core profitability ratios included income related to non-recurring purchase accounting accretion and the collection of nonaccrual interest and legal fees on a nonaccrual loan which was repaid during the period.

Orrstown Financial Services Selected Companies Analysis. Using publicly available information, KBW compared the financial performance, financial condition and market performance of Orrstown Financial Services to 13 selected major exchange-traded banks and thrifts which were headquartered in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States and which had total assets between $1.5 billion and $2.5 billion.

No company used as a comparison in the above selected companies analysis is identical to Orrstown Financial Services. Accordingly, an analysis of these results is not mathematical. Rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies involved.

Selected Transactions Analysis. KBW reviewed publicly available information related to six selected U.S. whole-bank or thrift transactions announced since date of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election (November 8, 2016) with announced transaction values greater than $20 million, LTM return on average assets less than 0.35%, and time deposits to total deposits greater than 40%. Terminated transactions were excluded from the selected transactions.

The selected transactions were as follows:

Acquiror |  | Acquired Company
City Holding Company Forcht Bancorp, Inc. Union Savings and Loan Association Howard Bancorp, Inc. Bank First National Corporation First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. |  | Poage Bankshares, Inc. MW Bancorp, Inc. Hibernia Bancorp, Inc. 1st Mariner Bank Waupaca Bancorporation, Inc. Premier Bancshares, Inc.

For each selected transaction, KBW derived the following implied transaction statistics, in each case based on the transaction consideration value paid for the acquired company and using financial data based on the acquired company’s then latest publicly available financial statements prior to the announcement of the respective transaction:

| • |  | Price per common share to tangible book value per share of the acquired company (in the case of selected transactions involving a private acquired company, this transaction statistic was calculated as total transaction consideration divided by total tangible common equity); and

| • |  | Tangible equity premium to core deposits (total deposits less time deposits greater than $100,000) of the acquired company, referred to as core deposit premium.

KBW also reviewed the price per common share paid for the acquired company for the three selected transactions involving publicly traded acquired companies as a premium to the closing price of the acquired company one day prior to the announcement of the acquisition (expressed as a percentage and referred to as the one-day market premium). The resulting transaction multiples and premiums for the selected transactions were compared with the corresponding transaction multiples and premiums for the proposed merger based on the implied transaction value for the proposed merger of $16.85 per share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock and using historical financial information for Hamilton Bancorp as of both June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018, and the closing price of Hamilton Bancorp common stock on October 22, 2018. LTM EPS multiples for Hamilton Bancorp and the selected transactions were considered to be not meaningful because they were greater than 30.0x or negative.

No company or transaction used as a comparison in the above selected transaction analysis is identical to Hamilton Bancorp or the proposed merger. Accordingly, an analysis of these results is not mathematical. Rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies involved.

Relative Contribution Analysis. KBW analyzed the relative standalone contribution of Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp to various pro forma balance sheet and income statement items and the combined market capitalization of the combined entity. This analysis did not include purchase accounting adjustments, and the relative standalone contribution of Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp to 2018 estimated EPS of the combined company was considered to be not meaningful because 2018 estimated EPS of Hamilton Bancorp was negative based on financial forecasts and projections of Hamilton Bancorp provided by Hamilton Bancorp management. To perform this analysis, KBW used (i) balance sheet and income statement data for Orrstown Financial Services (pro forma for the acquisition of Mercersburg Financial Corporation) and Hamilton Bancorp as of or for the period ended September 30, 2018 and (ii) market price data as of October 22, 2018. The results of KBW’s analysis are set forth in the following table, which also compares the results of KBW’s analysis with the implied pro forma ownership percentages of Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp stockholders in the combined company based on the 0.54x exchange ratio provided for in the merger agreement and also hypothetically assuming 100% stock consideration in the proposed merger for illustrative purposes:

|  | Orrstown as a % of Total |  |  | Hamilton as a % of Total |
Ownership |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
At 0.54x Merger Exchange Ratio |  |  | 84% |  |  |  | 16% |
Assuming 100% stock consideration |  |  | 80% |  |  |  | 20% |
Balance Sheet |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Assets |  |  | 79% |  |  |  | 21% |
Gross Loans Held for Investment |  |  | 77% |  |  |  | 23% |
Deposits |  |  | 80% |  |  |  | 20% |
Tangible Common Equity |  |  | 77% |  |  |  | 23% |
Income Statement |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
LTM Core Net Income (1) |  |  | 92% |  |  |  | 8% |
Market Capitalization |  |  | 82% |  |  |  | 18% |

(1) | Core income excluded extraordinary items, gain/loss on sale of securities, nonrecurring revenue/expenses, and amortization of intangibles as calculated by S&P Global Market Intelligence; further adjusted to exclude one-time charges in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets or liabilities due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. In the case of Hamilton Bancorp, core income was also adjusted to add back the valuation allowance on Hamilton Bancorp’s net deferred tax assets recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 that was unrelated to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and then tax-affected.

Forecasted Pro Forma Financial Impact Analysis. KBW performed a pro forma financial impact analysis that combined projected income statement and balance sheet information of Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp. Using (i) closing balance sheet data as of June 30, 2019 for Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp extrapolated from historical data (pro forma, in the case of Orrstown Financial Services, for the impact of its acquisition of Mercersburg Financial Corporation) using growth rates for Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp provided by Orrstown Financial Services management, (ii) financial and operating forecasts and projections of Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp provided by Orrstown Financial Services management, and (iii) pro forma assumptions (including, among other things, the cost savings and related expenses expected to result from the merger and certain accounting adjustments and restructuring charges assumed with respect thereto) provided by Orrstown Financial Services management, KBW analyzed the potential financial impact of the merger on certain projected financial results of Orrstown Financial Services. This analysis indicated the merger could be accretive to Orrstown Financial Services’ estimated 2019 EPS (excluding the impact of restructuring charges that might be realized during 2019) and estimated 2020 EPS and dilutive to Orrstown Financial Services’ estimated tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2019. Furthermore, the analysis indicated that each of Orrstown Financial Services’ tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, Leverage Ratio, Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio and Total Risk Based Capital Ratio as of June 30, 2019 could be lower. For all of the above analysis, the actual results achieved by Orrstown Financial Services following the merger may vary from the projected results, and the variations may be material.

Hamilton Bancorp Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. KBW performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Hamilton Bancorp to estimate a range for the implied equity value of Hamilton Bancorp. In this analysis, KBW used financial and operating forecasts and projections of Hamilton Bancorp provided by Hamilton Bancorp management, and assumed discount rates ranging from 13.0% to 17.0%. The range of values was derived by adding (i) the present value of the estimated excess cash flows that Hamilton Bancorp could generate over the period from June 30, 2019 through December 31, 2023 as a stand-alone company and (ii) the present value of Hamilton Bancorp’s implied terminal value at the end of such period. KBW assumed that Hamilton Bancorp would maintain a tangible common equity to tangible asset ratio of 8.00% and would retain sufficient earnings to maintain that level. In calculating the terminal value of Hamilton Bancorp, KBW applied a range of 13.0x to 17.0x Hamilton Bancorp’s estimated 2024 net income. This discounted cash flow analysis resulted in a range of implied values per share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock of $7.72 per share to $9.52 per share. Additionally, an implied value per share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock of $12.26 per share was calculated assuming a terminal value multiple of 1.0x Hamilton Bancorp’s estimated tangible book value as of December 31, 2023 and a discount rate of 15%.

The discounted cash flow analysis is a widely used valuation methodology, but the results of such methodology are highly dependent on the assumptions that must be made, including asset and earnings growth rates, terminal values, dividend payout rates, and discount rates. The foregoing discounted cash flow analyses did not purport to be indicative of the actual values or expected values of Hamilton Bancorp.

Orrstown Financial Services Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. KBW performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Orrstown Financial Services to estimate a range for the implied equity value of Orrstown Financial Services. In this analysis, KBW used financial and operating forecasts and projections of Orrstown Financial Services provided by Orrstown Financial Services management, and assumed discount rates ranging from 11.0% to 15.0%. The range of values was derived by adding (i) the present value of the estimated excess cash flows that Orrstown Financial Services could generate over the period from June 30, 2019 through December 31, 2023 as a stand-alone company and (ii) the present value of Orrstown Financial Services’ implied terminal value at the end of such period. KBW assumed that Orrstown Financial Services would maintain a tangible common equity to tangible asset ratio of 8.00% and would retain sufficient earnings to maintain that level. In calculating the terminal value of Orrstown Financial Services, KBW applied a range of 13.0x to 17.0x Orrstown Financial Services’ estimated 2024 net income. This discounted cash flow analysis resulted in a range of implied values per share of Orrstown Financial Services common stock of $25.40 per share to $37.11 per share.

The discounted cash flow analysis is a widely used valuation methodology, but the results of such methodology are highly dependent on the assumptions that must be made, including asset and earnings growth rates, terminal values, dividend payout rates, and discount rates. The foregoing discounted cash flow analyses did not purport to be indicative of the actual values or expected values of Orrstown Financial Services or the pro forma combined company.

Miscellaneous. KBW acted as financial advisor to Hamilton Bancorp and not as an advisor to or agent of any other person. As part of its investment banking business, KBW is continually engaged in the valuation of bank and bank holding company securities in connection with acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for various other purposes. As specialists in the securities of banking companies, KBW has experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of banking enterprises. In the ordinary course of its and their broker-dealer businesses, and further to certain existing sales and trading relationship between a KBW affiliated broker-dealer and Hamilton Bancorp), KBW and its affiliates may from time to time purchase securities from, and sell securities to, Hamilton Bancorp and Orrstown Financial Services. In addition, as a market maker in securities, KBW and its affiliates may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or equity securities of Hamilton Bancorp or Orrstown Financial Services for its and their own accounts and for the accounts of its and their respective customers and clients.

Pursuant to the KBW engagement agreement, Hamilton Bancorp agreed to pay KBW a cash fee equal to 1.25% of the aggregate merger consideration, $200,000 of which became payable with the rendering of KBW’s opinion and the balance of which is contingent upon the completion of the merger. Hamilton Bancorp also agreed to reimburse KBW for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements incurred in connection with its retention and to indemnify KBW against certain liabilities relating to or arising out of KBW’s engagement or KBW’s role in connection therewith. Other than in connection with the present engagement, during the two years preceding the date of its opinion, KBW did not provide investment banking and financial advisory services to Hamilton Bancorp. During the two years preceding the date of its opinion, KBW did not provide investment banking and financial advisory services to Orrstown Financial Services. KBW may in the future provide investment banking and financial advisory services to Hamilton Bancorp or Orrstown Financial Services and receive compensation for such services.

Orrstown Financial Services’ Reasons for the Merger

In the course of its evaluation of the merger and the merger agreement, the board of directors of Orrstown Financial Services consulted with its management, Hovde Group, LLC (its financial advisor) and Goodwin Procter LLP (its legal counsel). The board discussed the proposed merger in a series of meetings between July 25, 2018 and October 23, 2018, when it approved the merger and the merger agreement. In reaching the decision to approve the merger agreement and related transactions, the board of directors of Orrstown Financial Services considered a number of factors, including, among others, the following:

| • |  | information concerning the business, operations, financial condition, earnings and prospects of each of Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp as separate entities and on a combined basis;

| • |  | their understanding of the current environment in the financial services industry and current financial market conditions;

| • |  | the compatibility of the businesses, operations and cultures of the two companies;

| • |  | the prospect of expanding Orrstown Financial Services’ footprint to include an attractive new market;

| • |  | the pro forma financial effects of the proposed transaction, including the expected dilution to tangible book value per share, earnings accretion and dividend impacts;

| • |  | the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, including the financial terms, and the structure of the merger;

| • |  | the fact that the merger agreement contains restrictions on the ability of Hamilton Bancorp to solicit proposals for alternative transactions or engage in discussions regarding such proposals including the requirement of Hamilton Bancorp to pay a termination fee of $2,212,500 in certain circumstances to terminate the merger agreement;

| • |  | the intention for the merger to qualify as a tax free reorganization and thus the shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock can be exchanged for shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock on a tax free basis;

| • |  | the ability to complete the merger, including the conditions to the merger requiring receipt of necessary regulatory approvals in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement;

| • |  | the possibility of costs and delays resulting from seeking the regulatory approvals necessary to complete the transactions provided for in the merger agreement, the possibility that the banking regulatory authorities may impose restrictions on the combined operations of the two companies (including divestitures) in order to grant the required approvals and thus preventing Orrstown Financial Services from fully realizing the benefits of the merger, the possibility that the merger may not be completed if such approvals are not obtained, and the potential negative impacts on Orrstown Financial Services, its business and the price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock if such approvals are not obtained or restrictions are imposed;

| • |  | the challenges of combining the businesses of two corporations;

| • |  | the fact that the integration of Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp may be complex and time consuming and may require substantial resources and effort, and the risk that if the combined bank is not successfully integrated, the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected;

| • |  | the potential risk of diverting management focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and from operational matters while working to implement the merger;

| • |  | the transaction costs to be incurred by Orrstown Financial Services in connection with the merger; and

##### Table of Contents

| • |  | the opinion, dated October 23, 2018, of Hovde Group to the board of directors of Orrstown Financial Services as to the fairness, from a financial point of view as of the date of the opinion, to the holders of Orrstown Financial Services common stock of the merger consideration per share to be paid by Orrstown Financial Services to holders of Hamilton Bancorp common stock.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Orrstown Financial Services board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but is believed to include all material factors considered by the board of directors of Orrstown Financial Services. In view of the wide variety of factors it considered, the board did not find it practicable to assign any specific or relative weights to the factors considered. In addition, the board did not reach any specific conclusion on each factor considered, or any aspect of any particular factor, but conducted an overall analysis of these factors. Individual members of the board may have given different weight to different factors. However, after taking into account all of the factors set forth above, the board of directors of Orrstown Financial Services unanimously approved the merger agreement.

There can be no assurance that the potential synergies or opportunities considered by the boards will be achieved through completion of the merger. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Merger” beginning on page 24.

INTERESTS OF HAMILTON BANCORP DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS IN THE MERGER

Hamilton Bancorp stockholders should be aware that directors and executive officers of Hamilton Bancorp have financial interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, those of Hamilton Bancorp stockholders generally. As described in more detail below, these interests include certain payments and benefits that may be provided to directors and executive officers of Hamilton Bancorp upon completion of the merger or upon termination of their employment under certain circumstances following the merger, including cash severance, continued health, dental, life and accident insurance benefits, and retention bonuses.

Share Ownership of Hamilton Bancorp Directors and Executive Officers

As of [RECORD DATE], the record date for the special meeting, the directors and executive officers of Hamilton Bancorp may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of [ • ] shares, representing approximately 4.3% of the outstanding shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “The Voting Agreements” beginning on page 80 for further information regarding the voting agreements between Orrstown Financial Services and the Hamilton Bancorp directors and executive officers.

Indemnification

Under the merger agreement, Orrstown Financial Services has agreed that all rights to indemnification and all limitations of liability existing in favor of any director, officer or employee of Hamilton Bancorp, as provided in the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Hamilton Bancorp or applicable law as in effect on the date of the merger agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the effective time of the merger, will survive the merger.

Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance

Under the merger agreement, Hamilton Bancorp will purchase an extended reporting period endorsement under its existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that will provide Hamilton Bancorp directors and officers with coverage for six years following the effective time of the merger of not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms at least as favorable to, the insured persons as the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by Hamilton Bancorp, so long as the aggregate cost is not more than 200% of the annual premium currently paid by Hamilton Bancorp for such insurance. In the event that this premium limit is insufficient for such coverage, Hamilton Bancorp may enter into an agreement to spend up to that amount to purchase such lesser coverage as may be obtained with such amount.

Change in Control Benefits Under Current Hamilton Bancorp and Hamilton Bank Agreements

Employment Agreement with Robert A. DeAlmeida. On October 10, 2012, Hamilton Bank and Hamilton Bancorp entered into separate employment agreements with Robert A. DeAlmeida. The employment agreements have essentially identical provisions, except that the employment agreement with Hamilton Bancorp: (i) provides for daily, rather than annual, renewal of the term; (ii) obligates Hamilton Bancorp to make payments not made by Hamilton Bank under its agreement with Mr. DeAlmeida (provided that no duplicate payments are made); and (iii) will not require an automatic cut-back of severance benefits payable on termination of employment in connection with a change in control in order to avoid an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code. Under the employment agreements, upon the involuntary termination of Mr. DeAlmeida’s employment other than for “Cause”, “Disability” or death or voluntary resignation for “Good Reason” (as such terms are defined in the employment agreements) occurring on or after the effective date of a “Change in Control” of Hamilton Bancorp or Hamilton Bank (as defined in the employment agreements), Mr. DeAlmeida is entitled to a severance payment equal to three times the sum of his highest rate of base salary and annual bonus paid to, or earned by, him during the current calendar year of his date of termination or any of the three calendar years immediately preceding his date of termination. Such payment will be payable in a lump sum within 30 days following the date of the termination of Mr. DeAlmeida’s employment. It is currently anticipated that Mr. DeAlmeida’s employment will be terminated upon the closing of the merger. Because the merger constitutes a Change in Control under the terms of Mr. DeAlmeida’s employment agreements and his employment will be terminated at closing, Mr. DeAlmeida will be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment in the amount of approximately $1,247,549, less applicable withholding and other taxes, upon the closing of the merger. In addition, upon the closing of the merger, Mr. DeAlmeida will be entitled, at no expense to him, to the continuation of substantially comparable life insurance and non-taxable medical and dental insurance coverage until the earlier of: (i) the date which is three years after his date of termination or (ii) the date on which he receives substantially similar benefits from another employer. However, if Hamilton Bancorp or Hamilton Bank cannot provide one or more of the

56

##### Table of Contents

health and welfare benefits set forth in the preceding sentence because Mr. DeAlmeida is no longer an employee, applicable rules and regulations prohibit such benefits or the payment of such benefits in the manner contemplated, or it would subject either of them to penalties, then Hamilton Bank or Hamilton Bancorp shall pay Mr. DeAlmeida a cash lump sum payment reasonably estimated to be equal to the value of such benefits or the value of the remaining benefits at the time of such determination, which shall be made in a lump sum within 30 days after the later of his date of termination or the effective date of the rules or regulations prohibiting such benefits or subjecting Hamilton Bancorp or Hamilton Bank to penalties.

Change in Control Agreement with John P. Marzullo. On October 10, 2012, Hamilton Bank entered into a change in control agreement with John P. Marzullo, the Chief Financial Officer of Hamilton Bancorp and Hamilton Bank. Under the change in control agreement, upon the involuntary termination of Mr. Marzullo’s employment by Hamilton Bank other than for “Cause” or upon voluntary resignation for “Good Reason” (each as defined in the change in control agreement) occurring on or after the effective date of a “Change in Control” of Hamilton Bancorp or Hamilton Bank (as defined in the change in control agreement), Mr. Marzullo is entitled to a severance payment equal to two times the sum of his highest rate of base salary and annual bonus paid to, or earned by, him during the current calendar year of his date of termination or either of the two calendar years immediately preceding his date of termination. Such payment will be payable in a lump sum within 30 days following the date of termination of Mr. Marzullo’s employment. It is currently anticipated that Mr. Marzullo’s employment will be terminated upon the closing of the merger. Because the merger constitutes a Change in Control under the terms of Mr. Marzullo’s change in control agreement, in the event of Mr. Marzullo’s qualifying termination event thereafter, he would be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment in the amount of approximately $367,230, less applicable withholding and other taxes, following his date of termination.

In addition, following his qualifying termination of employment following the closing of the merger, Mr. Marzullo will be entitled to the continuation of substantially comparable life insurance and non-taxable medical and dental insurance coverage until the earlier of: (i) the date which is two years after his date of termination or (ii) the date on which he receives substantially similar benefits from another employer. However, if Hamilton Bank cannot provide one or more of the health and welfare benefits set forth in the preceding sentence because Mr. Marzullo is no longer an employee, applicable rules and regulations prohibit such benefits or the payment of such benefits in the manner contemplated, or it would subject either of them to penalties, then Hamilton Bank shall pay Mr. Marzullo a cash lump sum payment reasonably estimated to be equal to the value of such benefits or the value of the remaining benefits at the time of such determination, which shall be made in a lump sum within 30 days after the later of his date of termination or the effective date of the rules or regulations prohibiting such benefits or subjecting Hamilton Bank to penalties.

Future Services to Orrstown Financial Services

Upon execution of the merger agreement, Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank entered into an employment agreement and a change in control agreement, in each case with Ellen R. Fish, Executive Vice President of Hamilton Bancorp (the “executive”), to be effective as of the closing date of the merger.

The employment agreement provides that the executive shall serve as an Executive Vice President and Senior Lender for the Baltimore region of Orrstown Bank. The executive’s initial annual base salary will be $219,516, which amount may be increased but not decreased during the term of the employment agreement. The employment agreement provides for a term of one year, plus an automatic extension of such term for successive additional one-year terms, unless either party gives at least 60 days’ written notice of non-renewal. If the executive is still employed upon attaining age 65, the executive may provide notice of retirement in which event the executive will receive salary continuation for a period of six months plus a lump sum payment of 150% of the premium cost to maintain the executive’s group life insurance benefit for a period of three years. Such retirement may be delayed, upon request of the executive and approval of the board of directors, in one-year increments.

In the event that the executive’s employment is terminated on or prior to the first anniversary of the closing date of the merger by Orrstown Financial Services or Orrstown Bank without “Cause” (as defined in the employment agreement) or by the executive for any reason, then the executive will be paid severance equal to two times the sum of: (1) executive’s highest annual base salary and (2) the highest cash bonus paid to, or earned by, executive during the calendar year of executive’s date of termination or either of the two calendar years immediately preceding executive’s date of termination, which would consider any base salary and cash bonus earned by executive while employed with Hamilton Bancorp or Hamilton Bank. Orrstown Bank will continue to provide executive with life insurance coverage and non-taxable medical and dental insurance coverage substantially comparable (and on substantially the same terms and conditions) to the coverage maintained by Orrstown Bank immediately prior to her termination under the same cost-sharing arrangements that apply for active employees of Orrstown Bank as of executive’s date of termination. Such continued coverage shall cease upon the

57

##### Table of Contents

earlier of: (i) the date which is two years from executive’s date of termination or (ii) the date on which executive becomes a full-time employee of another employer, provided executive is entitled to benefits that are substantially similar to the health and welfare benefits provided by Orrstown Bank. If Orrstown Bank cannot provide one or more of these benefits because executive is no longer an employee, applicable rules and regulations prohibit such benefits or the payment of such benefits in the manner contemplated, or it would subject Orrstown Bank to penalties, then Orrstown Bank shall pay executive a cash lump sum payment reasonably estimated to be equal to the value of such benefits or the value of the remaining benefits at the time of such determination. Such cash payment shall be made in a lump sum within 35 days after the later of executive’s date of termination or the effective date of the rules or regulations prohibiting such benefits or subjecting Orrstown Bank to penalties.

In the event that the executive’s employment is terminated after the first anniversary of the closing date of the merger by Orrstown Financial Services or Orrstown Bank without Cause or by the executive for “Good Reason” (as defined in the employment agreement), then the executive will be paid severance, within 35 days following termination, a lump sum cash payment equal to (i) her base salary for the longer of: (1) six months following such termination, or (2) the remaining duration of term of the employment agreement (whichever is greater) and (ii) an amount equal to the average annual cash bonus earned during the three calendar years preceding the year in which the executive’s termination of employment is effective. For one year following the date of termination, Orrstown Bank will continue to provide executive with non-taxable medical and dental insurance coverage substantially comparable (and on substantially the same terms and conditions) to the coverage maintained by Orrstown Bank immediately prior to her termination under the same cost-sharing arrangements that apply for active employees of Orrstown Bank as of executive’s date of termination. If Orrstown Bank cannot provide one or more of these benefits because executive is no longer an employee, applicable rules and regulations prohibit such benefits or the payment of such benefits in the manner contemplated, or it would subject Orrstown Bank to penalties, then Orrstown Bank shall pay executive a monthly cash payment equal to the monthly COBRA premium payable by former employees of Orrstown Bank. In addition, the executive will receive a lump sum payment of 150% of the premium cost to maintain the executive’s group life insurance benefit for a period of three years.

The executive has agreed in the employment agreement that, for a one year period following termination of employment, the executive will not directly or indirectly engage in business competition with Orrstown Financial Services or Orrstown Bank with respect to its services, products, processes, customers, methods of doing business and similar matters within an agreed upon restricted territory. In addition, during the employment period and for one year thereafter, the executive will not solicit or attempt to solicit, divert or appeal to any employees, customers, clients or referral sources of Orrstown Financial Services, Orrstown Bank or any of their respective subsidiaries.

The change in control agreement becomes effective after the first anniversary of the closing date of the merger and provides that Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank are to pay to the executive specified amounts of cash compensation and provide specified health and welfare benefits in the event that the executive’s employment is terminated by Orrstown Financial Services or Orrstown Bank or any successor, other than for Cause or Disability (each as defined in the employment agreement), within the 90 day period immediately preceding, or the two years following, the occurrence of a “Change in Control” (as defined in the change in control agreement) or if such termination is initiated by the executive for any reason within six months following a Change in Control. The change in control agreement provides for a term of one year, plus an automatic extension of such term for successive additional one year terms, unless either party gives 60 days’ written notice of non-renewal.

Upon a termination described above occurring after the first anniversary of the closing date of the merger, Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank or any successor are obligated to pay to the executive within 35 days following termination a lump sum cash amount equal to amount equal to two (2) times the sum of (1) her annual base salary immediately prior to the change in control and (2) her highest annual cash bonus and other annual incentive cash compensation awarded over the past three years. The executive will also receive (A) an amount equal to any unvested employer contribution to the executive’s 401(k), profit sharing, deferred compensation or other similar individual account plan plus an amount sufficient to pay federal, state and local income taxes on such unvested employer contributions, which shall be paid to her within 35 days following her termination of employment and (B) up to $10,000 for outplacement services. The change in control agreement further provides that, upon a Change in Control, if the plans governing the vesting and exercise rights of stock options, shares of restricted stock and other equity-based compensation units are silent on the subject of Change in Control, all such options, shares and units shall immediately become vested and exercisable as to all or part of the shares and rights covered thereby. In addition, Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank or any successor are obligated to provide to the executive for a two-year term the life, disability, medical/health insurance and other health and welfare benefits in effect with respect to the executive immediately prior to the termination. The executive, however, will continue to be responsible for the costs of such benefits to the same extent as other similarly situated active employees of Orrstown Bank and the executive’s spouse and/or eligible dependents will continue to be covered on the same terms that they were covered prior to the termination of employment.

58

##### Table of Contents

If the executive’s employment is terminated in connection with a Change in Control under the change in control agreement, the noncompetition and nonsolicitation periods referred to above shall be equal to the greater of six months or the one-year period following the Change in Control.

The change in control agreement provides that in the event any benefit or payment from Orrstown Financial Services or Orrstown Bank to the executive shall be deemed to be an “excess parachute payment,” as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code, then the aggregate present value of amounts or benefits payable to the executive shall be reduced to the greater of (1) the highest aggregate present value of the amount due under the change in control agreement that can be made without causing any payments or benefits to be an excess parachute payment or (2) the largest portion of the amount due under the change in control agreement that after taking into account all applicable state and federal taxes, including any taxes payable pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, results in a greater after-tax benefit to the executive than the after-tax benefit to the executive calculated under (1) above.

Settlement of Executive Officers’ and Directors’ Equity-Based Awards

The directors and executive officers of Hamilton Bancorp hold stock options and shares of restricted stock awarded under Hamilton Bancorp’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

Stock Options. Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, each option granted under 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and any other similar plan or otherwise, which is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger and which has not been previously exercised or canceled, will be canceled and, promptly thereafter, Hamilton Bancorp shall pay to the holder thereof cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock underlying such stock option and (ii) the excess, if any, of $16.90 (subject to adjustment to the extent there is any reduction to the merger consideration as set forth in the merger agreement) per share over the exercise price per share provided for in such stock option, which cash payment shall be made without interest and shall be net of all applicable withholding taxes. As of the record date, Hamilton Bancorp’s directors and executive officers (as a group) held vested and unvested options to purchase 188,411 shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock.

Restricted Stock. Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, all outstanding unvested shares of restricted stock awarded under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and any other similar plan will become fully vested and will be treated as outstanding shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock for all purposes under the merger agreement, and be converted into the right to receive merger consideration.

Hamilton Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The merger agreement provides that the Hamilton Bank ESOP will be terminated immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. In addition. prior to the effective time of the merger, the outstanding balance of the ESOP loan made by Hamilton Bancorp will be repaid in full by the Hamilton Bank ESOP by first using any cash held in the ESOP’s unallocated stock fund and then remitting a sufficient number of unallocated shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock to Hamilton Bancorp as the lender, based on a value equal to the merger consideration. All Hamilton Bancorp common stock in the ESOP, including any unallocated shares remaining in the unallocated stock fund after repayment of the outstanding loan, will be exchanged for the merger consideration. As of the effective time of the merger, the ESOP will be terminated, and all participants’ accounts will be fully vested. Any remaining shares and other assets in the unallocated stock fund after the repayment of the ESOP loan will be allocated on a pro-rata basis to all active participants with an account balance under the Hamilton Bank ESOP based on the size of each active participant’s account balance on the termination date. The amount allocated to the participants will be determined based on the value of the merger consideration at closing. As a result of the foregoing, assuming that the merger consideration is equal to $14.38 per share, which represents the average closing market price of Hamilton Bancorp’s common stock over the first five business days following the public announcement of the merger agreement, and that the excess assets are allocated to the active participants in the ESOP based on their account balances as of December 31, 2018, the estimated value of the additional benefit that would be payable under the ESOP at the closing of the merger is as follows: Mr. DeAlmeida $[ • ]; Ms. Fish $[ • ]; and Mr. Marzullo $[ • ].

Joining Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank Boards of Directors

The merger agreement provides that, immediately following the effective time of the merger, one director of Hamilton Bancorp (as mutually agreed by Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp) will be appointed to the board of directors of each of Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank. The director will be compensated for his or her service on the board of directors of Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank in accordance with the policies of Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank applicable generally to their directors.

New Arrangements with Hamilton Bancorp Executive Officers

Prior to and from time to time since the execution of the merger agreement, Orrstown Financial Services has engaged, and it expects to continue to engage, in discussions with certain executive officers of Hamilton Bancorp about potential roles with the combined company after the consummation of the merger. There is at this time no assurance that those discussions will result in any additional agreements with Orrstown Financial Services or, if so, what the terms and conditions of any such agreements would be.

Quantification of Potential Payments to Hamilton Bancorp Named Executive Officers in Connection with the Merger

In accordance with Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K, the table below sets forth the estimated amounts of compensation that are based on or otherwise relate to the merger that may become payable to each of Hamilton Bancorp’s named executive officers, as determined for purposes of Hamilton Bancorp’s most recent annual proxy statement, assuming the merger is completed as of March 31, 2019 and, with respect to severance amounts, assuming the executive officer’s employment is terminated without cause as of March 31, 2019. The table does not include the value of benefits that the named executive officers are vested in without regard to the occurrence of a change in control.

The estimated amounts below are based on multiple assumptions that may not actually occur, including assumptions described in this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, certain amounts payable will vary depending on the actual date the merger is completed and the actual date, if any, of a qualifying termination of employment. As a result, the actual amounts, if any, to be received by an executive officer may differ in material respects from the amounts set forth below. The disclosures in the table below and the accompanying footnotes should be read in conjunction with the narrative description of the compensation arrangements set forth above.

Name |  | Cash(1) ($) |  |  | Equity(2) ($) |  |  | Perquisites/ Benefits(3) ($) |  |  | Other(4) ($) |  |  | Total ($) |

##### Table of Contents

(1) | The cash amount payable to the named executive officers consists of a cash severance payment equal to three times (in the case of Mr. DeAlmeida) or two times (in the case of Mr. Marzullo and Ms. Fish) the sum of (A) the named executive officer’s highest rate of annual base salary and (B) the highest annual bonus earned by him or her during the current calendar year of his or her date of termination or any of the three calendar years (in the case of Mr. DeAlmeida) or two calendar years (in the case of Mr. Marzullo and Ms. Fish) immediately preceding the date of termination. The cash severance payment is payable in a lump sum within 30 days (in the case of Messrs. DeAlmeida and Marzullo) or 35 days (in the case of Ms. Fish) of the date of termination. Ms. Fish will not receive any cash severance payments under the terms of her existing change in control agreement with Hamilton Bancorp, but is eligible to receive cash severance payments under the terms of her employment agreement with Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank discussed above. The cash severance payments to Messrs. DeAlmeida and Marzullo are “double trigger” benefits due to their contractual right to payment upon an involuntary termination without cause or voluntary termination for “Good Reason” (as defined in their agreements) following a change in control. The cash severance payment to Ms. Fish would be a “modified single trigger” benefit due to her contractual right to payment in the event of her termination for any reason or no reason with one year following the change in control

(2) | The amounts listed in this column represent the aggregate value of stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock. The vesting and settlement of the stock options and shares of restricted stock awarded under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan will be fully accelerated and paid upon the closing of the merger (i.e., “single trigger” vesting). The amounts reported in this column for the stock options were calculated based on the difference between $16.90 and the exercise price, if any, of the stock option. The amounts reported in this column for the restricted stock were calculated based on a price per share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock of $14.38, the average closing price per share over the first five business days following the announcement of the merger agreement. The following tables quantify the number and value of the stock options to be settled and unvested restricted stock held by the named executive officers that would accelerate upon a change in control in connection with the merger based on the assumptions described above. These numbers do not forecast any grants, additional issuances, dividends or additional deferrals of equity-based awards following the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Depending on when the effective time of the merger occurs, certain equity-based awards shown in the table may vest or become forfeited in accordance with their terms. For purposes of the tables below, it is assumed that the merger closes on March 31, 2019.

Name |  | Shares Underlying Hamilton Bancorp Stock Options that Vest upon a Change in Control (#) |  |  | Value of Hamilton Bancorp Stock Options to be Cashed Out upon a Change in Control ($) |
Robert A. DeAlmeida |  |  | 78,198 |  |  |  | 236,741 |
John P. Marzullo |  |  | 21,857 |  |  |  | 65,254 |
Ellen R. Fish |  |  | 21,857 |  |  |  | 62,294 |

Name |  | Hamilton Bancorp Restricted Shares that Vest upon a Change in Control (#) |  | Value of Hamilton Bancorp Restricted Shares that Vest upon a Change in Control ($)
Robert A. DeAlmeida |  | 1,815 |  | 26,100
John P. Marzullo |  | 1,452 |  | 20,880
Ellen R. Fish |  | 2,452 |  | 35,260

(3) | The amounts listed in this column represents the present value of the cash equivalent of the estimated value of the monthly premium of the continuation, at no cost to the named executive officer, of life insurance and non-taxable medical and dental insurance coverage until the date which is three years (in the case of Mr. DeAlmeida) or two years (in the case of Mr. Marzullo and Ms. Fish) after his or her date of termination. The present value was calculated using a discount rate equal to 120% of the applicable federal rate (compounded semi-annually) for December 2018, as published by the Internal Revenue Service. The continued life insurance and non-taxable medical and dental insurance coverage benefits are “double-trigger” benefits for Messrs. DeAlmeida and Marzullo and a “modified single trigger” benefit for Ms. Fish.

(4) | As described above, each named executive officer is entitled to certain payments pursuant to the Hamilton Bank ESOP upon its termination immediately prior to the closing of the merger. Assuming a per share value of Hamilton Bancorp common stock of $14.38, and account balances as of December 31, 2018, the named executive officers are entitled to the amounts listed in this column as a result of the termination of the Hamilton Bank ESOP and the resulting allocation of shares in the unallocated suspense account within the Hamilton Bank ESOP. This additional benefit under the Hamilton Bank ESOP is a “single-trigger” benefit.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

The following is a brief summary of the significant provisions of the merger agreement. The summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the merger agreement, which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A and is incorporated into this proxy statement/prospectus by reference. You should read the merger agreement carefully and in its entirety.

Structure of the Merger

The merger agreement provides for the merger of Hamilton Bancorp with and into Orrstown Financial Services. The surviving corporation in the merger will be Orrstown Financial Services. It is anticipated that Hamilton Bank will merge with and into Orrstown Bank, with Orrstown Bank continuing as the surviving bank, immediately following the merger.

Closing of the Merger

The closing of the merger will occur on a date that is no later than five business days after the satisfaction or waiver of all of the closing conditions described in the merger agreement, unless this date is extended by the mutual agreement of the parties. The merger will become effective upon the filing of articles of merger with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation.

We currently expect to complete the merger during the second quarter of 2019; however, because the merger is subject to a number of conditions, we cannot predict the actual timing of the closing of the merger.

Board of Directors of Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank

Upon completion of the merger, the board of directors of both Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank will consist of the current board of directors and one director of Hamilton Bancorp who will be agreed upon by the board of directors of both Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp and appointed to the board of directors of both Orrstown Financial Services and Orrstown Bank at the effective time of the merger.

Merger Consideration

If the merger agreement is approved by the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting and the merger is subsequently completed, each outstanding share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock will be converted into the right to receive (1) 0.54 shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock and (2) $4.10 in cash, without interest, subject to possible reduction based on potential losses, write-downs, or reserves related to certain identified loans of Hamilton Bank. The maximum possible reduction to the cash consideration is $1,000,000, or approximately $0.27 per share, based on 3,416,414 shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock and 262,704 stock options outstanding as of the record date. Orrstown Financial Services common stock is traded on NASDAQ under the symbol “ORRF.”

No fractional shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock will be issued in connection with the merger. Instead, each Hamilton Bancorp stockholder will receive an amount of cash, in lieu of any fractional share, based on the average daily closing price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock as reported on NASDAQ for the ten consecutive trading day period ending on the fifth business day prior to the closing date of the merger, rounded to the nearest whole cent.

As of the date of the merger agreement, based on the closing price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock of $23.10 and assuming no reduction in the cash consideration, Hamilton Bancorp stockholders would have received Orrstown Financial Services common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares in the merger with an implied value per share equal to $16.57. Based on the closing price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock of $[ • ] per share on [ • ], the most recent practicable date prior to the mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus, Hamilton Bancorp stockholders would receive Orrstown Financial Services common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares in the merger with an implied value per share equal to $[ • ]. The following table presents the implied value per share to be received in exchange for each share of Hamilton Bancorp common stock if the stock price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock at the closing of the merger is equal to the prices set forth in the table.

Hamilton Bancorp has the right to terminate the merger agreement if the volume weighted average stock price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock as reported on NASDAQ for the 15 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the determination date (1) is less than $20.1535 per share and (2) underperforms the volume weighted average price of the NASDAQ Bank Index for the 15 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the determination date by more than 15%. If Hamilton Bancorp exercises this termination right, Orrstown Financial Services will have the option to increase the exchange ratio or the cash consideration to be provided to Hamilton Bancorp stockholders to an amount which would compensate Hamilton Bancorp stockholders for the extent of the decrease in the price of Orrstown Financial Services common stock below the minimum implied value that would have avoided triggering the termination right described above. If Orrstown Financial Services elects to increase the merger consideration pursuant to the preceding sentence, no termination will occur. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “The Merger Agreement—Termination” beginning on page 66.

As of [RECORD DATE], there were 3,416,414 shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock issued and outstanding. Based upon these numbers, this will result in current Orrstown Financial Services stockholders owning approximately [ • ]% of the combined company and Hamilton Bancorp stockholders owning approximately [ • ]% of the combined company.

No interest will be paid on any cash merger consideration.

Exchange of Hamilton Bancorp Stock Certificates for Orrstown Financial Services Common Stock

On or before the closing date of the merger, Orrstown Financial Services will cause to be delivered to the exchange agent certificates representing the shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock to be issued in the merger. In addition, Orrstown Financial Services will deliver to the exchange agent an aggregate amount of cash sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of cash consideration payable in the merger, including an estimated amount of cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock. Orrstown Financial Services has selected Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to act as exchange agent in connection with the merger.

As promptly as practicable following the effective time of the merger, the exchange agent will mail to each Hamilton Bancorp stockholder of record at the effective time of the merger a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in surrendering the stockholder’s Hamilton Bancorp stock certificates. When such Hamilton Bancorp stockholders deliver their Hamilton Bancorp stock certificates to the exchange agent with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and any other required documents, their Hamilton Bancorp stock certificates will be canceled and in exchange Hamilton Bancorp stockholders will receive, as allocated to them:

| • |  | the number of whole shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock that they are entitled to receive under the merger agreement;

| • |  | a check representing the amount of cash that they are entitled to receive under the merger agreement; and

| • |  | if applicable, a check representing the amount of cash that they are entitled to receive in lieu of any fractional shares.

No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash constituting merger consideration.

Hamilton Bancorp stockholders who are receiving the stock consideration in the merger are not entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions on Orrstown Financial Services common stock with a record date after the closing date of the merger until they have surrendered their Hamilton Bancorp stock certificates in exchange for an Orrstown Financial Services stock certificate.

Treatment of Hamilton Bancorp Equity Awards

Stock Options. Upon the effective time of the merger, each option granted under Hamilton Bancorp’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and any other similar plan or otherwise, which is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger and which has not been previously exercised or canceled, will be canceled and Hamilton Bancorp shall pay to the holder thereof cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock underlying such stock option and (ii) the excess, if any, of $16.90 (subject to adjustment to the extent there is any reduction to the merger consideration as set forth in the merger agreement) per share over the exercise price per share provided for in such stock option, which cash payment shall be made without interest and shall be net of all applicable withholding taxes. At the effective time of the merger, the Hamilton Bancorp 2013 Equity Incentive Plan shall terminate and the provisions of such plan and any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of Hamilton Bancorp shall be of no further force and effect and shall be deemed to be canceled. As of the record date, there were outstanding options to purchase 262,704 shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock.

Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, all outstanding unvested shares of restricted stock awarded under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and any other similar plan will become fully vested and will be treated as outstanding shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock for all purposes under the merger agreement, and be converted into the right to receive merger consideration. As of the record date, there were outstanding 28,161 unvested shares of Hamilton Bancorp restricted stock.

| • |  | by Orrstown Financial Services or Hamilton Bancorp if the other party materially breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the merger agreement (provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in the merger agreement), and the breach cannot be or has not been cured within 30 days of written notice of the breach and such breach would entitle the non-breaching party not to consummate the transactions provided for in the merger agreement;

| • |  | by Orrstown Financial Services or Hamilton Bancorp if (1) any regulatory approval required for consummation of the merger and the other transactions provided for in the merger agreement (A) will impose any term, condition or restriction upon Orrstown Financial Services or any of its subsidiaries that Orrstown Financial Services reasonably determines, after consultation with Hamilton Bancorp, is a burdensome condition, or (B) has been denied by final nonappealable action of any regulatory authority, or (2) any governmental entity has issued a final nonappealable order, injunction or decree enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions provided for in the merger agreement, provided in either case that the terminating party has used its reasonable best efforts to have the order, injunction or decree lifted or to prevent such burdensome condition from being imposed;

No Solicitation; Acquisition Proposals

Hamilton Bancorp has agreed that neither it nor its subsidiaries nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants, affiliates and other of its agents (which we refer to as Hamilton Bancorp’s representatives) will, directly or indirectly:

| • |  | initiate, solicit, induce or knowingly encourage, or take any action to facilitate the making of, any inquiry, offer or proposal which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an acquisition proposal;

| • |  | participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any acquisition proposal or furnish, or otherwise afford access, to any person (other than Orrstown Financial Services) any information or data with respect to Hamilton Bancorp or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise relating to an acquisition proposal;

| • |  | release any person from, waive any provisions of, or fail to enforce any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement to which Hamilton Bancorp is a party; or

| • |  | enter into any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent with respect to any acquisition proposal or approve or resolve to approve any acquisition proposal or any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent relating to an acquisition proposal.

If Hamilton Bancorp receives a bona fide unsolicited written acquisition proposal that did not result from a breach by Hamilton Bancorp of any of the provisions in the merger agreement as discussed above, the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors may participate in discussions or negotiations regarding the unsolicited acquisition proposal or furnish the third party with, or otherwise afford access to the third party of, any information or data with respect to Hamilton Bancorp or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise relating to the acquisition proposal if:

| • |  | the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors first determines in good faith, (1) after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor, that such acquisition proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a superior proposal, and (2) after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that it is required to take such actions to comply with the fiduciary standard of conduct required of a board of directors under applicable law and Hamilton Bancorp’s bylaws;

| • |  | Hamilton Bancorp has provided Orrstown Financial Services with at least three business days prior notice of such determination; and

| • |  | prior to furnishing or affording access to any information or data with respect to Hamilton Bancorp or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise relating to an acquisition proposal, the third party enters into a confidentiality agreement with Hamilton Bancorp containing terms not materially less favorable to Hamilton Bancorp than those contained in its confidentiality agreement with Orrstown Financial Services.

A “superior proposal” means any bona fide written proposal (on its most recently amended or modified terms, if amended or modified) made by a third party to enter into an acquisition transaction on terms that the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor:

| • |  | would, if consummated, result in the acquisition of all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding shares of Hamilton Bancorp’s common stock or all, or substantially all, of the assets of Hamilton Bancorp;

| • |  | would result in a transaction that:

| • |  | involves consideration to the Hamilton Bancorp stockholders that is more favorable, from a financial point of view, than the consideration to be paid to Hamilton Bancorp stockholders pursuant to the merger agreement, considering, among other things, the nature of the consideration being offered and any material regulatory approvals or other risks associated with the proposed transaction, including without limitation the timing thereof, beyond or in addition to those specifically provided for in the merger agreement, and which proposal is not conditioned upon obtaining additional financing; and

| • |  | is, in light of the other terms of such proposal, more favorable to Hamilton Bancorp stockholders than the merger and the transactions provided for in the merger agreement; and

| • |  | is reasonably likely to be completed on the terms proposed,

in each case taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal.

##### Table of Contents

Hamilton Bancorp has agreed to promptly, and in any event within 24 hours, notify Orrstown Financial Services in writing if any proposals or offers are received by, any information is requested from, or any negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with, Hamilton Bancorp or any of its representatives, in each case in connection with any acquisition proposal. Any such notice will indicate the name of the person initiating such discussions or negotiations or making such inquiry, proposal, offer or information request, the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers. Hamilton Bancorp is also required to keep Orrstown Financial Services informed, on a reasonably current basis, and in any event within 24 hours, of the status and terms of any material developments with respect to such proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussions (including any amendments or modifications to such proposal, offer or request). Hamilton Bancorp will provide Orrstown Financial Services with at least 48 hours prior notice of any meeting of the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors at which it is reasonably expected to consider an acquisition proposal.

Hamilton Bancorp has also agreed to promptly provide Orrstown Financial Services with any non-public information about Hamilton Bancorp or any of its subsidiaries provided to any other person that was not previously provided to Orrstown Financial Services.

In addition, under the merger agreement, Hamilton Bancorp agreed that its board of directors, or any committee of the board, will not:

| • |  | withdraw, qualify, amend, modify, withhold, or propose to withdraw, qualify, amend, modify, or withhold, in a manner adverse to Orrstown Financial Services in connection with the transactions provided for in the merger agreement (including the merger), its recommendation that Hamilton Bancorp stockholders vote to approve the merger agreement and the merger;

| • |  | fail to reaffirm its recommendation that Hamilton Bancorp stockholders vote to approve the merger agreement and the merger within three business days following a request by Orrstown Financial Services;

| • |  | make any statement, announcement or release, in connection with the special meeting or otherwise, inconsistent with its recommendation that Hamilton Bancorp stockholders vote to approve the merger agreement and the merger (including taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an acquisition proposal);

| • |  | approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any acquisition proposal; or

| • |  | enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement:

| • |  | related to any acquisition transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with the no solicitation provisions of the merger agreement); or

| • |  | requiring Hamilton Bancorp to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the merger or any other transaction provided for in the merger agreement.

However, prior to the date of the special meeting of stockholders, the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors may withdraw, qualify, amend or modify its recommendation that Hamilton Bancorp stockholders vote to approve the merger agreement and the merger if the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that it is required to do so in order to comply with the fiduciary standard of conduct required of a board of directors under applicable law and Hamilton Bancorp’s bylaws. In the event that the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors makes this determination, Hamilton Bancorp must provide five business days’ prior written notice to Orrstown Financial Services that its board has decided that a bona fide unsolicited written acquisition proposal that Hamilton Bancorp received (that did not result from a breach of the no solicitation provisions of the merger agreement) constitutes a superior proposal. During the five business days after Orrstown Financial Services’ receipt of the notice of a superior proposal, Hamilton Bancorp and its board must cooperate and negotiate in good faith with Orrstown Financial Services to make any adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement as would enable Hamilton Bancorp to proceed with its board’s original recommendation with respect to the merger agreement without requiring Hamilton Bancorp to approve or recommend to its stockholders a superior proposal and withdraw, qualify or modify its board’s recommendation with respect to the merger agreement. At the end of the five-business day period, and after taking into account any such adjusted, modified or amended terms as may have been proposed by Orrstown Financial Services during that period, the Hamilton Bancorp board of directors must again determine in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that:

70

##### Table of Contents

| • |  | it is required to approve or recommend to its stockholders a superior proposal and withdraw, qualify, amend or modify its recommendation with respect to the merger agreement to comply with its fiduciary duties to its stockholders under applicable law; and

| • |  | the acquisition proposal is a superior proposal.

Notwithstanding any withdrawal, qualification, amendment or modification to recommendation of the board of directors of Hamilton Bancorp that the stockholders of Hamilton Bancorp vote to approve the merger agreement and the merger, Hamilton Bancorp must submit the merger agreement to its stockholders at the special meeting for the purpose of voting on the approval of the merger agreement and the merger; provided, however, that if the board of directors of Hamilton Bancorp shall have withdrawn, qualified, amended or modified its recommendation, then the board of directors of Hamilton Bancorp may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation to the stockholders of Hamilton Bancorp in this proxy statement/prospectus or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto. In addition, the board of directors of Hamilton Bancorp may not submit to the vote of its stockholders any acquisition proposal other than the merger at the special meeting.

Hamilton Bancorp Stockholders Meeting

Hamilton Bancorp has agreed to call, hold and convene a meeting of its stockholders as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 45 days following the time when the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part becomes effective) to consider and vote upon the approval of the merger agreement and the merger and any other matter required to be approved by the stockholders of Hamilton Bancorp in order to consummate the merger.

NASDAQ Listing

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Orrstown Financial Services will file a notice of additional listing of shares with NASDAQ with respect to the shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock to be issued to the holders of Hamilton Bancorp common stock in the merger so that these shares will be listed and traded on NASDAQ following the merger.

Indemnification and Insurance

Indemnification. Under the merger agreement, Orrstown Financial Services has agreed that all rights to indemnification and all limitations of liability existing in favor of any director or officer of Hamilton Bancorp, as provided in the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Hamilton Bancorp, or in applicable law as in effect on the date of the merger agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the effective time of the merger, including without limitation the right to advancement of expenses, will survive the merger.

Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. The merger agreement provides for Hamilton Bancorp to purchase an extended reporting period endorsement under its existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage prior to the effective time of the merger in a form acceptable to Hamilton Bancorp. This extended reporting period endorsement will provide Hamilton Bancorp’s directors and officers with coverage for six years following the effective time of the merger of not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms at least as favorable to the insured persons as, the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by Hamilton Bancorp so long as the aggregate cost is no more than 200% of the annual premium currently paid by Hamilton Bancorp for such insurance. In the event that this premium limit is insufficient for such coverage, Hamilton Bancorp may enter into an agreement to spend up to that amount to purchase such lesser coverage as may be obtained with such amount.

Conduct of Business Pending the Merger

Under the merger agreement, Hamilton Bancorp has agreed that, until the effective time of the merger or the termination of the merger agreement, and except as expressly permitted by the merger agreement or with the prior written consent of Orrstown Financial Services, Hamilton Bancorp will not, and will cause each of its subsidiaries not to:

| • |  | conduct its business other than in the ordinary and usual course consistent with past practice;

| • |  | fail to use reasonable best efforts to preserve intact its business organizations and assets, and maintain its rights, franchises, and existing relations with customers, suppliers, employees and business associates;

The agreements relating to the conduct of Hamilton Bancorp’s and Orrstown Financial Services’ business contained in the merger agreement are complicated and not easily summarized. You are urged to carefully read Article V of the merger agreement attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

Employee Benefits

Under the terms of the merger agreement, from and for at least a 12-month period after the effective time of the merger, Orrstown Financial Services will provide the employees of Hamilton Bancorp and any of its subsidiaries who remain employed after the effective time of the merger with at least the types and levels of employee benefits as are substantially comparable to those provided to similarly-situated employees of Orrstown Financial Services. Orrstown Financial Services also has the right in its sole discretion to terminate, merge or continue any of Hamilton Bancorp’s employee benefit plans. To the extent that Hamilton Bancorp’s employees become eligible to participate in Orrstown Financial Services’ employee benefit plans after the merger, Orrstown Financial Services will:

| • |  | provide each employee with eligibility and vesting credit, but not benefit accrual credit with respect to defined benefit plans for purposes of severance benefits, for any purposes under any post-termination/retiree welfare benefit plan or for purposes of any equity based compensation or benefits or profits-sharing contribution, equal to the amount of service credited by Hamilton Bancorp prior to the merger;

74

##### Table of Contents

| • |  | subject to the terms of Orrstown Financial Services’ employee plans, take commercially reasonable efforts to provide each employee with eligibility and vesting credit in Orrstown Financial Services’ 401(k) plan and for purposes of determining the length of vacation, sick time, paid time off and severance under Orrstown Financial Services’ applicable plan or policy;

| • |  | subject to the terms of Orrstown Financial Services’ employee plans, not treat any employee of Hamilton Bancorp or any of its subsidiaries as a “new” employee for purposes of any exclusions under any health or similar plan of Orrstown Financial Services for any pre-existing medical condition, except to the extent such employee was treated as a “new” employee under the Hamilton Bancorp health plan; and

| • |  | subject to the terms of Orrstown Financial Services’ employee plans, provide for any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket expenses paid under Hamilton Bancorp’s health plans to be credited toward deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket expenses under Orrstown Financial Services’ health plans upon delivery to Orrstown Financial Services of appropriate documentation.

In addition, Orrstown Financial Services may pay retention bonuses to certain of Hamilton Bancorp’s employees who remain employed through certain dates following the effective time of the merger. The employees who may receive retention bonuses and the amounts, allocation and timing of payment of the retention bonuses will be determined by the mutual agreement of Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp. Orrstown Financial Services also agreed to cause Hamilton Bancorp to honor and continue to be obligated to perform all contractual rights of current and former employees of Hamilton Bancorp or any of its subsidiaries existing as of the date of the merger agreement.

Employees of Hamilton Bancorp and any of its subsidiaries who are not otherwise party to an employment agreement, change in control agreement or other separation agreement that provides a benefit upon a termination of employment will be eligible to receive a lump sum severance payment equal to two weeks of weekly base pay for each full year of service, with a minimum of four weeks and a maximum of 26 weeks, if their employment is terminated other than for cause by Hamilton Bancorp at the request of Orrstown Financial Services prior to the effective time of the merger or by Orrstown Financial Services within one year following the effective time of the merger. In addition, for those Hamilton Bancorp employees who are not offered full-time employment with Orrstown Financial Services, Hamilton Bancorp, in consultation with Orrstown Financial Services, will provide reasonable outplacement services to such affected employees.

Hamilton Bancorp maintains the Hamilton Bank ESOP. Under the merger agreement, the Hamilton Bank ESOP will be terminated immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. As a result of the merger, all shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock held by the Hamilton Bank ESOP will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration. Any outstanding indebtedness of the Hamilton Bank ESOP will be repaid from unallocated plan assets and the balance of the unallocated shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock, as well as any other assets remaining unallocated, will be allocated to the plan participants on a pro rata basis to all active participants with an account balance under the Hamilton Bank ESOP based on the size of each active participant’s account balance on the termination date. Neither Hamilton Bancorp nor, following the effective time of the merger, Orrstown Financial Services will make any distribution from the Hamilton Bank ESOP to any employees of Hamilton Bancorp or any of its subsidiaries who continue employment with Orrstown Financial Services, except as may be required by applicable law or the terms of the plan, until receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS.

Orrstown Financial Services also agreed to cause Hamilton Bancorp to honor and continue to be obligated to perform all contractual rights of current and former employees of Hamilton Bancorp or any of its subsidiaries existing as of the date of the merger agreement.

Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specific date, may be subject to a standard of materiality provided for in the merger agreement, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk among Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, they should not be relied upon as statements of factual information. Third parties are not entitled to the benefits of the representations and warranties in the merger agreement.

None of the representations and warranties by either party survives the effective time of the merger. The representations and warranties in the merger agreement are complicated and not easily summarized. You are urged to carefully read Articles III and IV of the merger agreement attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

Expenses

Each party will pay all fees and expenses it incurs in connection with the merger agreement and the related transactions, except that the parties will each pay 50% of the printing and mailing expenses for this proxy statement/prospectus and Orrstown Financial Services will pay all SEC registration and filing fees.

However, after approval of the merger agreement and the merger by the stockholders of Hamilton Bancorp, no amendment of the merger agreement may be made which by law requires further approval of the Hamilton Bancorp stockholders without obtaining that approval.

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger

Before Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp may complete the merger, they must obtain a number of regulatory approvals from, or give notices to, federal and state bank regulators.

77

##### Table of Contents

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The merger of Hamilton Bank with and into Orrstown Bank is subject to approval by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”), under Section 18(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, also known as the “Bank Merger Act.” Under the Bank Merger Act, the Federal Reserve may not approve a transaction that would result in a monopoly or otherwise substantially lessen competition or restrain trade, unless it finds that the anti-competitive effects of the transaction are clearly outweighed by the public interest. In addition, the Federal Reserve considers the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the depository institutions involved in the proposed merger, the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, and the risk to the financial stability of the United States banking or financial system. Under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended (the “CRA”), the Federal Reserve must take into account the record of performance of each party to the proposed merger in meeting the credit needs of its entire community, including low- and moderate- income neighborhoods. The Federal Reserve also must consider the effectiveness of each party involved in the proposed transaction in combating money laundering activities. Federal law requires publication of notice of, and the opportunity for public comment on, the application submitted by Orrstown Bank for Federal Reserve approval.

In connection with its review of the application submitted by Orrstown Bank, the Federal Reserve will request a report on competitive factors from the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”). The Federal Reserve or the DOJ may challenge the merger on competitive grounds, and may require Orrstown Bank to divest certain of its branches or branches it proposes to acquire from Hamilton Bank in order to complete the merger. The level of divestitures that the Federal Reserve and the DOJ may require might be unacceptable. Such divestures could delay the date of completion of the merger or may diminish the benefits of the merger.

Following Federal Reserve approval, the Bank Merger Act imposes a waiting period of up to 30 days after the Federal Reserve approval in order to permit the United States Department of Justice to file any objections to the proposed merger of Hamilton Bank with and into Orrstown Bank under the federal antitrust laws. This waiting period may be reduced to 15 days if the DOJ has not provided any adverse comments relating to the competitive factors of the transaction, which the parties expect to occur. In reviewing these transactions, the DOJ could analyze the effect of the transactions on competition differently than the Federal Reserve, and thus it is possible that the DOJ could reach a different conclusion than the Federal Reserve regarding the anti-competitive effects of these transactions. If the DOJ were to commence an antitrust action, it would stay the effectiveness of the Federal Reserve’s approval unless a court specifically orders otherwise.

In addition, as Orrstown Financial Services is a bank holding company that has elected financial holding company status under the Bank Holding Company Association (“BHCA”), Orrstown Financial Services is also subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve. Orrstown Financial Services will seek the prior approval for the merger of Hamilton Bancorp with and into Orrstown Financial, as well as the acquisition of Hamilton Bank contemplated thereby, from the Federal Reserve pursuant to Section 3 of the BHCA. Section 3 of the BHCA requires the Federal Reserve to consider a number of factors in deciding whether to approve an application for approval, including the (1) competitive effect of the transactions; (2) financial and managerial resources and prospects of the companies and the convenience and needs of the community to be served; (3) certain supervisory concerns; (4) the effectiveness of the companies’ anti-money laundering efforts; and (5) the extent to which the transactions would result in greater or more concentrated risks to the stability of the United States banking or financial system. In connection with its review, the Federal Reserve provides an opportunity for public comment on the application and may hold a hearing or other proceeding on the application.

MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following is a general summary of material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger of Orrstown Bank and Hamilton Bancorp to U.S. holders of Hamilton Bancorp common stock. The federal income tax laws are complex and the tax consequences of the merger may vary depending upon each stockholder’s individual circumstances or tax status. The following discussion is based upon current provisions of the Code, existing temporary and final regulations under the Code and current administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. Any such change could affect the validity of this discussion. No attempt has been made to comment on all United States federal income tax consequences of the merger that may be relevant to Hamilton Bancorp stockholders. The tax discussion set forth below is included for general information only. It is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to a particular Hamilton Bancorp stockholder.

The following discussion may not apply to particular categories of holders of shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock in light of their individual circumstances or to holders that are subject to special treatment under the Code, such as:

| • |  | pass-through entities or investors in pass-through entities;

| • |  | trusts and estates;

You are urged to consult your tax advisors to determine the specific tax consequences of the merger, including any state, local or foreign tax consequences of the merger.

##### Table of Contents

For purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of Hamilton Bancorp common stock that is:

| • |  | a U.S. citizen or resident, as determined for federal income tax purposes; or

| • |  | a corporation, or entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia.

ALL HOLDERS OF HAMILTON BANCORP COMMON STOCK SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE MERGER, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX AND ANY STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN, AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

Tax Consequences of the Merger

Based on facts and representations and assumptions regarding factual matters that were provided by Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp and that are consistent with the state of facts that Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp believe will be existing as of the effective time of the merger, Goodwin Procter LLP and Luse Gorman, PC are each of the opinion that the merger, when consummated in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. None of the tax opinions given in connection with the merger or the opinions described below will be binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. Neither Orrstown Financial Services nor Hamilton Bancorp intends to request any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below.

It is the opinion of Goodwin Procter LLP and Luse Gorman, PC that the merger will be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of section 368(a) of the Code, with the tax consequence as described below.

Neither Orrstown Financial Services nor Hamilton Bancorp will recognize any taxable gain or loss as a result of the merger and each will be a party to a reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a) of the Code.

Hamilton Bancorp stockholders will receive both Orrstown Financial Services common stock and cash consideration in exchange for all of his, her or its shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock and generally will recognize gain, but not loss, to the extent of the lesser of:

| • |  | the excess, if any, of (a) the sum of the aggregate fair market value of the Orrstown Financial Services common stock received (including any fractional share of Orrstown Financial Services common stock deemed to be received and exchanged for cash) and the amount of cash received (excluding any cash received in lieu of a fractional share of common stock) over (b) the stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock exchanged in the merger; and

| • |  | the amount of cash received by the stockholder (excluding any cash received in lieu of a fractional share of common stock, which will be taxed as discussed below under “Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares”).

In general, for this purpose, gain or loss must be calculated separately for each block of shares surrendered in the exchange, and a loss realized on one block of shares may not be used to offset gain realized on another block of shares. Any such gain will be long-term capital gain if the shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock exchanged were held for more than one year, unless the receipt of cash has the effect of a distribution of a dividend under the provisions of the Code, in which case such gain will be treated as a dividend to the extent of the stockholder’s ratable share of the undistributed accumulated earnings and profits of Hamilton Bancorp. You should consult your tax advisors as to the possibility that all or a portion of any cash received in exchange for your Hamilton Bancorp common stock will be treated as a dividend.

The stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the Orrstown Financial Services common stock received pursuant to the merger will equal that stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the shares of Hamilton Bancorp common stock being exchanged, reduced by any amount allocable to a fractional share of Orrstown Financial Services common stock for which cash is received and by the amount of any cash consideration received, and increased by the amount of taxable gain, if any, recognized by that stockholder in the merger (including any portion of such gain that is treated as a dividend).

82

##### Table of Contents

Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of Orrstown Financial Services common stock will be issued in the merger. A Hamilton Bancorp stockholder who receives cash in lieu of such a fractional share will be treated as having received that fractional share pursuant to the merger and then as having exchanged such fractional share for cash in a redemption by Orrstown Financial Services. A Hamilton Bancorp stockholder will generally recognize capital gain or loss on such a deemed redemption of the fractional share in an amount determined by the excess of the amount of cash received and the stockholder’s tax basis in the fractional share. Any capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Hamilton Bancorp common stock exchanged was held for more than one year.

Tax Opinions

Tax opinions of Goodwin Procter LLP and Luse Gorman, PC have been filed as Exhibits 8.1 and 8.2, respectively, to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part. Additionally, it is a condition to the obligations of Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp to complete the merger that Orrstown Financial Services receive an opinion of Goodwin Procter LLP, counsel to Orrstown Financial Services, or such other counsel as contemplated by the merger agreement, and that Hamilton Bancorp receive an opinion of Luse Gorman, PC, counsel to Hamilton Bancorp, or such other counsel as contemplated by the merger agreement, each dated as of the closing date of the merger and each to the effect that, based on representations of Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp and on certain customary assumptions and conditions, the merger will be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The tax opinions in Exhibits 8.1 and 8.2 are not intended to satisfy this closing condition.

The tax opinions delivered or to be delivered to Orrstown Financial Services and to Hamilton Bancorp in connection with the merger are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, or the “IRS,” or the courts, and neither Orrstown Financial Services nor Hamilton Bancorp have sought or will seek any ruling from the IRS, regarding any matters relating to the merger. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not disagree with or challenge any of the conclusions contained in the tax opinions delivered to Orrstown Financial Services or Hamilton Bancorp, or the federal income tax consequences of the merger described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Cash payments received in the merger by a U.S. holder may, under certain circumstances, be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, unless the holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or furnishes its taxpayer identification number, and otherwise complies with all applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit against an Hamilton Bancorp stockholder’s United States federal income tax liability may be obtained from the IRS, provided the stockholder furnishes the required information to the IRS. A holder that does not furnish their correct taxpayer identification number may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS.

Hamilton Bancorp stockholders who receive Orrstown Financial Services common stock as a result of the merger will be required to retain records pertaining to the merger and will be required to file with their United States federal income tax return for the year in which the merger takes place a statement setting forth certain facts relating to the merger.

Other Tax Consequences

The state and local tax treatment of the merger may not conform to the federal income tax consequences discussed above. Consequently, you should consult your own tax advisors regarding the treatment of the merger under state and local tax laws.

The preceding discussion is intended only as a general discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. It is not a complete analysis or discussion of all potential tax effects that may be important to you. Thus, you are strongly encouraged to consult your tax advisor as to the specific tax consequences resulting from the merger, including tax return reporting requirements, the applicability and effect of federal, state, local, and other tax laws, and the effect of any proposed changes in tax laws.

Hamilton Bancorp does not own or lease any property but instead uses the premises, equipment and other property of Hamilton Bank with the payment of appropriate rental fees, as required by applicable law and regulations, under the terms of an expense allocation agreement. In the future, Hamilton Bancorp may acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries.

Founded in 1915 and celebrating over 100 years of service, Hamilton Bank is a community-oriented financial institution, dedicated to serving the financial needs of consumers and businesses within its market area. Our lending market area is considered greater Maryland, southern Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., and northern Virginia. We offer a variety of deposit and loan products in our market area. Our real estate loans consist primarily of one-to- four family mortgage loans (including owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied investor loans), as well as commercial real estate loans, and home equity loans and lines of credit. We also offer commercial term, leases and line of credit loans along with consumer loans consisting primarily of automobile loans, recreational vehicles and loans secured by deposits. We currently operate out of our corporate headquarters in Towson, Maryland and our seven full-service branch offices located in Baltimore City, Cockeysville, Towson, Rosedale, Ellicott City and Pasadena, Maryland. Our market area for deposits is primarily the local counties surrounding our offices. Our primary source of income is loans to small and middle-market businesses and middle-income individuals.

We also invest in securities, which consist primarily of U.S. government agency, municipal and corporate bond obligations, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, and to a much lesser extent, equity securities of government-sponsored enterprises.

We offer a variety of deposit accounts, including certificate of deposit accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts, checking accounts and individual retirement accounts. Over the past three years we have borrowed funds from the FHLB to meet growing loan demand and to facilitate several purchases of loan pools since March 2017. We have also acquired FHLB advances through our acquisitions of Fraternity Community Bancorp, Inc. and Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. completed in May 2016 and September 2015, respectively. We are committed to offering alternative banking delivery systems, including ATMs, online and mobile banking and remote deposit capture.

Recent Acquisitions

On May 13, 2016, Hamilton Bancorp completed its acquisition of Fraternity Community Bancorp, Inc. (“Fraternity”) through the merger of Fraternity, the parent company of Fraternity Federal Savings & Loan, with and into Hamilton Bancorp pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 12, 2015, by and between Hamilton Bancorp and Fraternity. As a result of the merger, each stockholder of Fraternity received a cash payment equal to nineteen dollars and twenty-five cents ($19.25) for each share of Fraternity common stock, or an aggregate of approximately $25.7 million. Immediately following the merger of Fraternity into Hamilton Bancorp, Fraternity Federal Savings & Loan was merged with and into Hamilton Bank, with Hamilton Bank the surviving entity.

On September 11, 2015, Hamilton Bancorp completed its acquisition of Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. (“Fairmount”) through the merger of Fairmount, the parent company of Fairmount Bank, with and into Hamilton Bancorp pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 15, 2015, by and between Hamilton Bancorp and Fairmount. As a result of the merger, each stockholder of Fairmount received a cash payment equal to thirty dollars ($30.00) for each share of Fairmount common stock, or an aggregate of approximately $15.4 million. Immediately following the merger of Fairmount, Fairmount Bank was merged with and into Hamilton Bank, with Hamilton Bank the surviving entity.

As a result of the acquisitions, we have added three branches to our branch structure in the Baltimore area.

Market Area

We conduct our operations from our seven full-service banking offices in Maryland. Our primary deposit market includes the areas surrounding our banking offices in Cockeysville, Pasadena, Towson, Rosedale, Ellicott City and two locations in Baltimore City. In July 2017, we re-located our Ellicott City branch in Howard County a short distance away from the former location so as to still serve our existing customer base and surrounding area. The landlord, whom the property was leased from, is converting the former branch property into other commercial space. In March 2018 we also re-located our Pigtown branch, located in Baltimore City, just a few doors down from our former branch. The new branch locations are both smaller in size, offering cost savings, and allowed us to redesign our branches so the needs of our customers can be better served. In the new locations we did away with the conventional teller line and created a more open space with the use of a cash recycler. Our employees can now interact and provide greater assistance to our customers in a friendlier and inviting environment.

##### Table of Contents

Hamilton Bank considers greater Maryland, southern Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., and northern Virginia its primary lending area for its various consumer, commercial and mortgage lending services. It is the policy of Hamilton Bank to focus on lending to customers within its primary lending area, and/or to collateralize secured loans with real property located within the primary lending area. However, we occasionally purchase or make loans secured by collateral located outside of our primary lending market, especially to borrowers with whom we have an existing relationship or who have a significant presence within our primary market. Our primary lending market contains a diverse cross section of employment sectors, with a mix of services, manufacturing, wholesale/retail trade, federal and local government, health care facilities and finance related employment. The city of Baltimore is now considered a major center for both the financial and health service industries.

Our branch network includes Baltimore City and the Maryland counties of Anne Arundel, Howard, and Baltimore. Maryland continues to rank first in the nation with respect to median household income, as reflected in 2017, with median household income of nearly $81,000 compared to a national average of $61,000. Both Howard and Anne Arundel county rank amongst the top counties in the state with respect to household income and report lower unemployment. Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Howard, and Anne Arundel County reported preliminary unemployment rates of 5.3%, 3.9%, 3.0% and 3.2%, respectively, for October 2018, compared to the statewide and national unemployment rates of 4.1% and 3.7%, respectively.

Competition

We face significant competition within our market both in making loans and attracting deposits. Our 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 institutions, internet banks, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, and non-bank lenders. 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 position as a community bank.

As of June 30, 2018 (the latest date for which information is available), our market share was 0.04% of total deposits in Baltimore City, making us the 22nd largest out of 25 financial institutions in Baltimore City. In addition, as of June 30, 2018, our deposit market share was 1.67%, 0.41% and 0.59% of total deposits in Baltimore County, Anne Arundel, and Howard County, respectively, making us the 12th largest out of 29 financial institutions in Baltimore County, the 20th largest out of 26 financial institutions in Anne Arundel County and 15th largest out of 19 financial institutions in Howard County.

Lending Activities

General. Historically, our principal lending activity has been the origination of mortgage loans collateralized by one-to-four family residential real estate located within our primary market area. In recent years we have reduced our emphasis on the origination of one-to-four family mortgage lending to become less reliant on the origination of such loans for growth and to emphasize the origination of commercial business and commercial real estate lending. This will allow Hamilton Bank to develop a more diversified loan portfolio, generate loan growth from different resources, and provide our customers with more products and services that fit their needs. In connection with this strategy, we have hired several commercial real estate and commercial business loan officers over the past couple of years with strong experience in these lending areas. In addition, back office commercial loan personnel have also been hired to assist with the processing, underwriting, and monitoring of our commercial loan portfolio. Our commercial loan underwriting analysis is maintained in-house and allows us to be more efficient in originating loans and enhancing the customer experience. We sold a majority of our newly originated one-to-four family mortgage loans with terms over 10 years into the secondary market. However, towards the end of fiscal 2017 and throughout fiscal 2018, we did retain in our portfolio the fixed-rate residential mortgages we originated due to the amount of run-off we were experiencing within the portfolio. In addition to commercial business loans and leases, commercial real estate loans and residential mortgage loans, we also offer home equity loans and lines of credit, residential and commercial construction loans, and, to a much lesser extent, other consumer loans.

Our portfolio of one-to four-family residential loans have increased in amount during fiscal 2018 and 2017 due to the purchase of several pools of loans in fiscal 2018 and our acquisition of Fraternity in fiscal 2017. The percentage of one-to four-family loans to total loans, however, has declined from 46.4% at March 31, 2017 to 41.5% at September 30, 2018.

Residential Mortgage Loans. Hamilton Bank originates mortgage loans secured by owner occupied one-to-four family residential properties. To a lesser extent, we have also acquired, participated and made loans to investors for the purchase of one-to-four family residential properties that are not owner-occupied. As of September 30, 2018, we had a total of $180.5 million of residential mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family properties, of which $155.6 million, or 86.2%, were secured by properties serving as the primary residence of the owner. The remaining $24.9 million, or 13.8%, of such loans were secured by non-owner-occupied residential properties. The majority of our residential mortgage loans are secured by properties within our primary lending area of greater Maryland, southern Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., and northern Virginia, however, during the last half of fiscal 2018 we did purchase several residential mortgage loan pools totaling $19.3 million in areas outside of our market.

Historically, the terms of our one-to-four family mortgage loans retained in our portfolio ranged from 10 to 30 years. In order to lower our interest rate risk in a rising rate environment though, we have been selling to the secondary market the majority of our one-to-four family fixed rate loans that have been originated with terms exceeding 10 years. However, toward the end of fiscal 2017 and throughout fiscal 2018, we did portfolio the fixed-rate residential mortgages we originated due to the amount of run-off we were experiencing within the portfolio. In fiscal 2019, we began to sell these loans into the secondary market once again. During fiscal 2017 and 2016, we sold $2.2 million, or 23.5%, and $4.4 million, or 68.0%, of one-to-four family mortgage loans that we originated with terms exceeding 10 years, respectively. Over the first half of fiscal 2019, we originated and sold $1.3 million of one-to-four family mortgage loans. Our residential mortgage portfolio is almost entirely comprised of fixed-rate loans, with 83.0% of residential mortgage loans due after September 30, 2019 having fixed rates at September 30, 2018. During the year ended March 31, 2018, we originated $1.5 million in residential mortgage loans with adjustable-rates and have not originated any adjustable-rate mortgage loans through September 30, 2018 of this fiscal year.

We generally do not make new one-to-four family mortgage loans on owner-occupied properties with loan-to-value ratios exceeding 95% at the time the loan is originated, and all loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80% require private mortgage insurance. Loan to value ratios on refinances may not exceed 80%, and loan-to-value ratios for non-owner-occupied properties may not exceed 85%. In addition, borrower debt may generally not exceed 43% of the borrower’s monthly cash flow. With respect to borrower debt on loans secured by non-owner-occupied properties, we look to the investor’s aggregate debt and cash flows from all investment properties the investor operates. We require all properties securing residential mortgage loans to be appraised by a board-approved independent appraiser.

Loans secured by non-owner-occupied properties typically have five to ten year terms and amortize over a 25 to 30 year period. Because of the increased risk associated with non-owner-occupied properties, interest rates on such loans are higher than owner-occupied properties, averaging 6.6% during the six months ended September 30, 2018. We have generally only originated loans secured by non-owner-occupied properties to investors that reside in our market area.

In an effort to provide financing for first-time home buyers, we offer 30-year fixed-rate one-to-four family mortgage loans with loan-to-value ratios up to 95%, which cannot be readily sold to the secondary market and are held in portfolio.

We also make “jumbo loans” (loans above $424,100, the current maximum conforming loan amount as established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency) that we may sell into the secondary market or retain in Hamilton Bank’s portfolio depending upon the residential mortgage run-off at the time. Jumbo loans that we originate and sell, typically have 30-year terms and maximum loan-to-value ratios of 80%. At September 30, 2018, our largest outstanding portfolio jumbo residential mortgage loan was for $2.3 million at origination, with a current book balance of $1.9 million. This loan is performing in accordance with its original terms.

From 2009 through part of fiscal 2017, applications for loans that we intended to sell were processed through Mortgage Department Services, LLC (“MDS”), a company in which we had a minority interest. In fiscal 2017 we brought this process in-house using various software programs. Each application and loan is reviewed to ensure that the loan meets the standards for sale to the secondary market and Hamilton Bank’s portfolio (See “—Loan Originations, Participations, Purchases and Sales”). When we sell loans in the secondary market, we typically sell the loans at a premium and record the income immediately as a gain on sale of loans. All such loans are sold with servicing released and in most cases, with recourse that we provide to the purchaser in the case of (i) delinquency within the first 90 days of sale or (ii) breaches of customary representations and warranties to the buyers.

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. All borrowers are required to obtain title insurance for the benefit of Hamilton Bank. We also require homeowner’s insurance and fire and casualty insurance and, where circumstances warrant, flood insurance.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. We originate commercial real estate loans within our primary lending area, with an emphasis on the Greater Baltimore region, that are secured by properties used for business purposes such as small office buildings or retail facilities. We have increased our origination of commercial real estate loans over the last several years. At September 30, 2018, commercial real estate loans amounted to 30.9% of total loans or $115.7 million, including $8.3 million acquired in the Fraternity acquisition, compared to approximately $41.4 million, or 28.6% of total loans, at March 31, 2014.

##### Table of Contents

Our commercial real estate loans are underwritten based on our loan underwriting polices. Our policies provide that such loans may be made in amounts of up to 85% of the appraised value of the property, provided that the property is more than 50% owner-occupied or 75% of the appraised value of the property if it is not owner-occupied. Our commercial real estate loans typically have terms of 5 to 10 years and amortize for a period of up to 25 years. In the past year we have originated an increased amount of commercial real estate loans with terms of 7 to 10 years based upon the strength of the property cash flow and loan to value ratio. Interest rates may be fixed or adjustable. If adjustable, then they are generally based on the Prime rate of interest, LIBOR, or U.S. Treasuries Constant Maturity.

The regulatory loan-to-one borrower limit is 15% of a bank’s unimpaired capital plus unimpaired surplus, or approximately $6.9 million at September 30, 2018. We have adopted an internal limit equal to 75% of Hamilton Bank’s loan-to-one borrower limit. The internal limit at September 30, 2018 is $5.2 million. We generally target commercial real estate loans with balances of $250,000 to $4.0 million. At September 30, 2018, our commercial real estate loans had an average balance of $787,000. At that same date, our largest commercial real estate relationship consisted of one loan totaling $4.6 million. This loan is secured by a shopping center, and was performing in accordance with their original terms at September 30, 2018.

Commercial real estate lending involves additional risks compared to one-to-four family residential lending because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, and/or the collateral value of the commercial real estate securing the loan. Repayment of such loans may be subject, to a greater extent than residential loans, to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. Also, commercial real estate loans typically involve larger loan balances in relation to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Commercial real estate loans generally have a higher rate of interest and shorter term than residential mortgage loans because of increased risks associated with this type of lending. We seek to minimize these risks through our underwriting standards. We have experienced a decrease over the past several years in the number of delinquencies and non-performing loans in our commercial real estate loan portfolio. See “Risk Factors-Our increase in commercial real estate loans has increased our credit risk.”

Commercial Business Loans. We originate commercial business loans and lines of credit secured by non-real estate business assets. These loans are generally originated to small and middle market businesses in our primary market area, although in fiscal 2018 we purchased a $15.5 million pool of commercial equipment lease loans that are considered out of our market area. Our commercial business loans are generally used for working capital purposes or for acquiring equipment, inventory or furniture, and are primarily secured by business assets other than real estate, such as business equipment, inventory and accounts receivable. We have increased our origination of commercial business loans over the last few years and intend to continue to grow this portfolio at a moderate pace. At September 30, 2018, commercial business loans and lines of credit outstanding totaled $37.9 million, including $10.1 million of the original $15.5 million pool of commercial equipment lease loans. This loan segment amounted to 10.1% of total loans, compared to approximately $15.7 million, or 10.8% of total loans, at March 31, 2014. At September 30, 2018, we also had $11.5 million of available and unfunded commercial business lines of credit.

Our commercial business loans have terms up to five years at both fixed and adjustable rates of interest, although, adjustable rates of interest are preferred and obtained when possible. Our commercial business loans are underwritten based on our commercial business loan underwriting policies. We typically avoid making commercial business loans to purchase highly specialized, custom made equipment which may be difficult to dispose of in the event of default. When making commercial business loans, we consider the financial statements, lending history and debt service capabilities of the borrower (generally requiring a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.20:1.00), the projected cash flows of the business, and the value of the collateral, if any. The majority all commercial business loans are guaranteed by the principals of the borrower.

Hamilton Bank is also qualified to make Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans. The SBA program is an economic development program which finances the expansion of small businesses. Under the SBA program, we originate and fund loans under the SBA 7(a) Loan Program which qualify for guarantees up to 85% for loans less than or equal to $150,000 and 75% for loans greater than $150,000. We also originate loans under the SBA’s CDC/504 Loan Program in which we generally provide 50% of the financing, taking a first lien on the real property as collateral. We do not treat the SBA guarantee as a substitute for a borrower meeting our credit standards, and, except for minimum capital levels or maximum loan terms, the borrower must meet our other credit standards as applicable to loans outside the SBA process. During the six months ended September 30, 2018, fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, we did not originate any loans under the SBA 7(a) Loan Program.

We focus on the origination of commercial business loans in amounts between $250,000 and $4.0 million. At September 30, 2018, our commercial business loans had an average outstanding balance of $155,000. At that same date, our largest commercial business loan was a commercial line of credit with a commitment balance of $5.0 million, of which $2.2 million has been advanced. The loan is secured by the business assets of the company and is performing in accordance with its original terms at September 30, 2018.

Commercial business loans generally have a greater credit risk than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans and real estate backed commercial loans. Unlike residential and commercial mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself. Further, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. We seek to minimize these risks through our underwriting standards. See “Risk Factors—Our entry into commercial real estate and commercial business lending may result in higher losses on our loans.”

Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit. We offer home equity loans and lines of credit that are secured by the borrower’s primary or secondary residence. At September 30, 2018, we had $19.4 million, or 5.2% of our total loan portfolio in home equity loans and lines of credit. At that date we also had $23.3 million of undisbursed funds related to home equity lines of credit.

Home equity loans and lines of credit are generally underwritten using the same criteria that we use to underwrite one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. Home equity loans and lines of credit may be underwritten with a loan-to-value ratio of up to 80% when combined with the principal balance of the existing first mortgage loan. Our home equity loans are primarily originated with fixed rates of interest with terms of up to 20 years. Our home equity lines of credit are originated with adjustable-rates based on the prime rate of interest plus or minus an applicable margin and require interest paid monthly. Home equity loans and lines of credit are available in amounts of between $10,000 and $1.0 million.

Home equity loans and lines of credit secured by second mortgages have greater risk than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans secured by first mortgages. We face the risk that the collateral will be insufficient to compensate us for loan losses and costs of foreclosure. When customers default on their loans, we attempt to foreclose on the property and resell the property as soon as possible to minimize foreclosure and carrying costs. However, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to compensate us for the amount of the unpaid loan and we may be unsuccessful in recovering the remaining balance from those customers. Particularly with respect to our home equity loans and lines of credit, decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property securing the loan.

Construction Loans. We originate construction loans for both commercial and residential real estate. Construction loans we originate generally provide for the payment of interest only during the construction phase. At the end of the construction phase, the loan converts to a permanent mortgage loan at the same or a different rate of interest. The construction period on the residential homes is typically nine to twelve months, at which time Hamilton Bank is repaid through permanent financing by a third party with servicing released or the loan is converted under the loan documents to a permanent loan and is retained in Hamilton Bank’s portfolio.

Before making a commitment to fund a construction loan, Hamilton Bank requires detailed cost estimates to complete the project and an appraisal of the property by an independent licensed appraiser. Hamilton Bank also reviews and inspects 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. Construction loans for one-to-four family residential real estate may be underwritten with a loan-to-value ratio of up to 80% or 95% with private mortgage insurance. Commercial construction loans generally may not exceed a loan-to-value ratio of 75% to 80%.

Construction lending generally involves a greater degree of risk than other one-to-four family mortgage lending. The repayment of the construction loan is, to a great degree, dependent upon the successful and timely completion of construction. Various potential factors including construction delays or the financial viability of the builder may further impair the borrower’s ability to repay the loan.

At September 30, 2018, total construction loans represented $7.1 million, or 1.9%, of Hamilton Bank’s total loans, of which $3.6 million consisted of residential construction loans and $3.5 million were commercial construction. At September 30, 2018, the commitment to fund or advance funds on total construction loans equaled $10.3 million. At September 30, 2018, our largest construction loan was a commercial construction loan with a contractual principal and recorded investment balance of $1.2 million. This loan is under the SBA CDC/504 loan program and we are waiting to be taken out by the SBA. The loan is secured by the commercial property being constructed and is performing in accordance with its original terms at September 30, 2018.

Other Consumer Loans. We make loans secured by deposit accounts up to 90% of the amount of the depositor’s deposit account balance. On a more limited basis, we also originate automobile loans to our customers, along with boats, motorcycles, and recreational vehicles. During fiscal 2018 we purchased two loan pools consisting of recreational vehicles from the same seller that totaled $19.8 million, of which $15.0 million are outstanding at September 30, 2018. These loans are located outside of what is considered our lending area. Other consumer loans at September 30, 2018 totaled $17.7 million, or 4.7% of our total loan portfolio.

Loan Originations, Participations, Purchases and Sales. Most of our loan originations are generated by our loan personnel operating at our corporate headquarters and banking office locations. All loans we originate are underwritten pursuant to our policies and procedures. While we originate fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans, our ability to generate each type of loan depends upon relative borrower demand and the pricing levels as set in the local marketplace by competing banks, thrifts, credit unions, and mortgage banking companies. Our volume of real estate loan originations is influenced significantly by market interest rates. As a result, the volume of our real estate loan originations can vary from period to period.

Consistent with our interest rate risk strategy, in the low interest rate environment that has existed in recent years, we have sold on a servicing-released basis the majority of our one-to-four family residential mortgage loans with maturities over 10 years that we have originated. All loan applications originated from 2009 through the first part of 2017, that we had the intention of selling, were processed through a third party. That third party has since dissolved and we started directly underwriting and selling loans in the secondary market ourselves in 2017. Through the Fraternity acquisition, we obtained the necessary software and personnel to be able to process loans we intend to sell in-house. We receive a premium for each loan that is delivered or sold to the secondary market. When a loan is sold, it is sold with servicing released, and in most cases, with recourse that we provide to the purchaser in the event of (i) delinquency within the first 90 days of sale or (ii) breaches of customary representations and warranties to the buyers. During the last half of fiscal 2017 and into fiscal 2018 we retained in portfolio many of the traditional residential mortgage loans we originated, versus selling them in the secondary market, due to the increase in normal attrition within this loan segment resulting from our acquisitions. Prior to that time, we generally sold these loans in the secondary market at a premium to assist with managing interest rate risk and to enhance non-interest revenue. At the beginning of this year, we began to once again sell most newly originated residential loans that qualify into the secondary market versus putting them in portfolio for those same reasons.

From time to time, we have purchased loan participations in commercial loans in which we are not the lead lender that are secured by real estate or other assets within the state of Maryland. With regard to all loan participations, we follow our customary loan underwriting and approval policies, and although we may be only approving and servicing a portion of the loan, we underwrite the loan request as if we had originated the loan to ensure cash flow and collateral are sufficient. At September 30, 2018, our loan participations totaled $17.9 million, or 4.8% of our total loan portfolio, the majority of which were in our primary market area. Of the $17.9 million in participations, only $134,000 are on nonaccrual at September 30, 2018 compared to $32,000 at March 31, 2018 and $126,000 at March 31, 2017. We do not specifically look to loan participations as a means to increase loan volume; however, we do look at opportunities for participations, if presented, on a case by case basis.

In addition to loan participations, we may look to purchase pools or portfolios of loans from time-to-time to enhance growth and earnings potential. As with participations, we follow our customary loan underwriting standards when reviewing a particular pool of loans to determine if the purchase meets Hamilton Bank’s established credit guidelines. Based upon the number of loans within a particular pool, we may not be able to review the loan pool on a loan-by-loan basis, but will review the loan data requested on the entire pool, such as delinquency, credit scores, and appraised values and examine an adequate sample of the individual loans that make up the loan pool. During fiscal 2018 we purchased several pools of loans both within and outside of our market area. The loan pools totaled $54.6 million and consisted of $15.5 million in commercial lease loans, $19.8 million in recreational vehicles, and $19.3 million in one-to four-family residential mortgage loans. The loan purchases were funded through the use of cash and approximately $27.0 million in new FHLB borrowings. At the end of fiscal 2017 we also purchased $23.4 million of one-to-four family jumbo residential mortgage loans in two separate pools. These purchases were funded with approximately $12.5 million in cash and $11.5 million in borrowings from the FHLB. We entered into a cash flow hedge with respect to these borrowings to lock in a long-term cost of funds and minimize some of the interest rate risk associated with purchasing longer-term assets.

In May 2016, in connection with the acquisition of Fraternity Federal Savings and Loan, we acquired approximately $108.7 million in outstanding loans. As of September 30, 2018, the outstanding balance of those acquired from Fraternity totaled $73.4 million, or 19.6% of gross loans, of which $102,000 are on non-accrual. The remaining loans are performing as agreed under their current terms at September 30, 2018. In September 2015, prior to Fraternity, we acquired Fairmount Bank and approximately $53.6 million in outstanding loans, of which $31.1 million remain outstanding at September 30, 2018. The outstanding Fairmount loans make-up 8.3% of gross loans at September 30, 2018.

As noted earlier, we may sell residential mortgage loans into the secondary market at a premium. We also have the ability to sell certain pools of loans to increase liquidity, improve current earnings, divest of a concentration of loans, or manage problem credits. When selling a pool of loans, we analyze whether the sale makes sense from a profit standpoint and then look for several bids from various parties so as to maximize the price with respect to the sale. In fiscal 2017 we sold two pools of loans with a combined book value of $4.5 million. Both pools consisted primarily of one-to-four family non-owner occupied residential mortgage (“residential investor”) loans acquired in the Fairmount Bank acquisition. The financial performance of the residential investor loans sold was deteriorating and the underlying collateral did not provide sufficient support. Selling the pool of loans made the most sense with respect to managing these problem credits and reducing any additional losses going forward.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. Our lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory underwriting standards and loan origination procedures developed by management and approved by our board of directors. The loan approval process is intended to assess the borrower’s ability to repay the loan and the value of the collateral that will secure the loan. To assess the borrower’s ability to repay, our policies provide for the review of the borrower’s employment and credit history and information on the historical and projected income and expenses of the borrower. We will also evaluate a guarantor when a guarantee is provided as part of the loan.

Hamilton Bank’s policies and loan approval limits are established by our board of directors. Designated Bank officers and loan committee are assigned levels of loan authority. Having loan authority gives the individuals or committee the ability to authorize the extension of credit. Every extension of credit requires two signatures, one of which must have sufficient authority given the risk rating and aggregate exposure. The second approver cannot be an individual assigned less loan authority than the sponsor of the loan. Loan authority is recommended by the Chief Credit Officer and approved by the Credit Committee. All loan authorities are reviewed and confirmed annually by the Credit Committee. The Chief Credit Officer, and or the President may recommend interim changes to establish loan limits or assign loan authority for new officers. These interim changes shall be presented to the Credit Committee for approval at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The Chief Credit Officer and/or the President also have the authority to reduce or remove loan authority. Such changes in lending authority are to be reported to Credit Committee after the fact.

Securities Activities

General. Our investment policy is developed by management and approved by the board of directors. The objectives of the policy are to: (i) ensure adequate liquidity for loan demand and deposit fluctuations, and to allow us to alter our liquidity position to meet both day-to-day and long-term changes in assets and liabilities; (ii) manage interest rate risk in accordance with our interest rate risk policy; (iii) provide collateral for pledging requirements; (iv) maximize return on our investments; and (v) maintain a balance of high quality diversified investments to minimize risk.

Our Investment Committee, consisting of our President and Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, and Controller is responsible for implementing our investment policy, including approval of investment strategies and monitoring investment performance. The President and Chief Financial Officer are authorized to execute purchases or sales of securities. The board of directors regularly reviews our investment strategies and the market value of our investment portfolio.

We account for investment and mortgage-backed securities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.” ASC 320 requires that investments be categorized as held-to maturity, trading, or available for sale. Our securities are generally categorized as available-for-sale based on our need to meet daily liquidity needs and to take advantage of profits that may occur from time to time. At September 30, 2018, all of our securities were classified as available for sale.

Maryland-chartered banks 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, debt instruments of municipalities and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac equity securities. At September 30, 2018, our investment portfolio consisted almost entirely of securities and mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, municipalities or U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises. At that same date we also held $2.0 million of corporate bonds, which equaled approximately 2.8% of our total investment securities based upon the fair value of such securities. The principal and interest on our mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by the issuing entity.

At September 30, 2018, we owned approximately $2.8 million in Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta stock. As a member of Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, we are required to purchase stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. At September 30, 2018, we had no investments in a single company or entity (other than an agency of the U.S. Government, a municipality or a U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise) that had an aggregate book value in excess of 10% of our equity.

In fiscal 2017, our investment balances increased through the acquisition of Fraternity and the build-up of excess cash. During fiscal 2018 and 2019, however, our investment balances have decreased due to either calls or maturing bonds, normal principal pay downs on our mortgage backed securities, or the sale of certain securities. The proceeds from these reductions in securities have been used to fund loan activity, including loan purchases, and repayment of borrowings and the decrease in deposits.

Sources of Funds

General. Deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal, maturities and calls of securities and funds provided by operations are our primary sources of funds for use in lending, investing and for other general purposes. In addition, we may also borrow from the FHLB, as we did in fiscal 2018, to fund our loan growth both organically and through loan purchases. In fiscal 2016 and 2017 we acquired $10.5 million and $15.0 million of FHLB advances in the acquisitions of Fairmount and Fraternity of which all has matured or rolled over, respectively. As of September 30, 2018, there were $53.6 million in advances outstanding from the FHLB.

Deposits. We offer deposit products having a range of interest rates and terms. We currently offer statement savings accounts, interest and noninterest-bearing demand accounts, health savings accounts (HSA), money market accounts and certificates of deposit. We also offer the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) program to our customers. Our strategic plan includes a greater emphasis on developing commercial business activities, centered around both deposit and lending customer relationships.

Deposit flows are significantly influenced by general and local economic conditions, changes in prevailing interest rates, internal pricing decisions and competition. Our deposits are primarily obtained from areas surrounding our branch offices. In order to attract and retain deposits we rely on paying competitive interest rates and providing quality service.

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 September 30, 2018, $234.5 million, or 60.4% of our total deposit accounts were certificates of deposit, of which $126.5 million had maturities of one year or less.

Borrowings. As a member of the FHLB, Hamilton Bank is eligible to obtain advances upon the security of the FHLB common stock owned and certain loan products, provided certain standards related to credit-worthiness have been met. FHLB advances are available pursuant to several credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. At September 30, 2018, based on available collateral, we had the ability to borrow approximately $76.7 million from the FHLB. Beginning in the second half of fiscal 2015, we began to increase our borrowings from the FHLB as a means to fund our loan growth both organically and through loan purchases. Additionally, in fiscal 2016 and 2017 we acquired $10.5 million and $15.0 million of FHLB advances in the acquisitions of Fairmount and Fraternity of which all has matured or rolled over. As of September 30, 2018, there were $53.6 million in advances outstanding from the FHLB.

Hamilton Bank may also borrow up to $5.0 million from a correspondent bank under a secured federal funds line of credit, and $1.0 million under an unsecured line of credit. We would be required to pledge investment securities to draw upon the secured line of credit. During fiscal 2018 and the six months ended September 30, 2018, there was nothing drawn upon under either line of credit.

Employees

As of September 30, 2018, we had 73 full-time equivalent employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group. Management believes that we have a good working relationship with our employees.

Subsidiary Activities

Hamilton Bancorp has one direct subsidiary, Hamilton Bank. At September 30, 2018, Hamilton Bank has five wholly owned subsidiaries including 3110 FC, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company that was formed to hold other real estate owned acquired through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. On May 13, 2016, in connection with the acquisition of Fraternity Community Bancorp, Hamilton Bank acquired four additional subsidiaries: 4819 Palmer Avenue LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Maryland (“4819 Palmer”); 764 Washington Boulevard LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Maryland (“764 WB LLC”); 764 Washington Boulevard II LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Maryland (“764 WB LLC II”); and Fraternity Insurance Agency, Inc., an inactive corporation organized under the laws of the State of Maryland. 4819 Palmer, 764 WB LLC and 764 WB LLC II were each formed by Fraternity Federal Savings & Loan Association to hold other real estate owned.

Regulation and Supervision

In December 2017, Hamilton Bank converted its charter from a federal savings bank to a Maryland chartered commercial bank. As a Maryland-chartered commercial bank, Hamilton Bank is subject to the regulation, supervision, and control of the Maryland Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation (“MOCFR”). Hamilton Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and control of the FDIC, an agency of the federal government. The federal and state system of regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which Hamilton Bank may engage and is intended primarily for the protection of depositors and the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund, and not for the protection of stockholders. Under this system of federal regulation, financial institutions are periodically examined to ensure that they satisfy applicable standards with respect to matters such as their capital adequacy, assets, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market interest rates. Hamilton Bank is also regulated to a lesser extent by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”), which governs the reserves to be maintained against deposits and other matters. Hamilton Bank must comply with the consumer protection regulations issued by the Consumer Financial Protections Bureau. Hamilton Bank also is a member of and owns stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, which is one of the twelve regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System. The MOCFR and the FDIC examine Hamilton Bank and prepare reports for the consideration of its board of directors on any operating deficiencies. Hamilton Bank’s relationship with its depositors and borrowers is also regulated by federal and state law, especially in matters concerning the ownership of deposit accounts, the form and content of Hamilton Bank’s loan documents and certain consumer protection matters.

As a bank holding company, Hamilton Bancorp is subject to examination and supervision by, and is required to file certain reports with, the Federal Reserve Board. Hamilton Bancorp is also subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws.

Set forth below are certain material regulatory requirements that are applicable to Hamilton Bank and Hamilton Bancorp. This description of statutes and regulations is not intended to be a complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effects on Hamilton Bank and Hamilton Bancorp. Any change in these laws or regulations, whether by Congress or the applicable regulatory agencies, could have a material adverse impact on Hamilton Bancorp, Hamilton Bank and their operations.

Banking Regulation

General. Hamilton Bank is a Maryland commercial bank and its deposit accounts are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the FDIC. Hamilton Bank is subject to supervision, examination and regulation by the MOCFR and the FDIC.

The Dodd-Frank Act established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) as an independent bureau of the Federal Reserve System. The CFPB assumed responsibility for implementing federal consumer financial protection and fair lending laws and regulations, a function formerly handled by federal bank regulatory agencies. However, institutions of less than $10 billion, such as Hamilton Bank, continue to be examined for compliance with consumer protection or fair lending laws and regulations by, and be subject to enforcement authority of their primary federal regulators.

Capital Requirements. Under the FDIC’s regulations, federally insured state-chartered banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System (“state non-member banks”), such as Hamilton Bank, are required to comply with minimum leverage capital requirements. Federal regulations require federally insured depository institutions to meet several minimum capital standards: a common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 6.0%, a total capital to risk-based assets of 8%, and a Tier 1 capital to total assets leverage ratio of 4%. In addition to establishing the minimum regulatory capital requirements, the regulations limit capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to management if the institution does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The capital conservation buffer requirement is being phased in. It is currently at 1.875%, and will be fully phased in at 2.5% on January 1, 2019.

In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets for purposes of calculating risk-based capital ratios, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets (e.g., recourse obligations, direct credit substitutes, residual interests) are multiplied by a risk weight factor assigned by the regulations based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Higher levels of capital are required for asset categories believed to present greater risk. In assessing an institution’s capital adequacy, the FDIC takes into consideration, not only these numeric factors, but qualitative factors as well, and has the authority to establish higher capital requirements for individual institutions if it deems necessary.

Legislation enacted in May 2018 requires the federal banking agencies, including the FDIC, to establish for banks with assets of less than $10 billion of assets a “community bank leverage ratio” of 8 to 10%. Banks with capital meeting the specified requirement will be considered to meet the applicable regulatory capital requirements including the risk-based requirements. The establishment of the community bank leverage ratio is subject to notice and comment rulemaking by the federal regulators.

Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action. Federal law establishes a system of prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions. The FDIC has adopted regulations to implement the prompt corrective action legislation. An institution is deemed to be “well capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater, a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater and a common equity Tier 1 ratio of 6.5% or greater. An institution is “adequately capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater, a leverage ratio of 4.0% or greater and a common equity Tier 1 ratio of 4.5% or greater. An institution is “undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 6.0%, a leverage ratio of less than 4.0% or a common equity Tier 1 ratio of less than 4.5%. An institution is deemed to be “significantly undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4.0%, a leverage ratio of less than 3.0% or a common equity Tier 1 ratio of less than 3.0%. An institution is considered to be “critically undercapitalized” if it has a ratio of tangible equity (as defined in the regulations) to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%.

“Undercapitalized” banks must adhere to growth, capital distribution (including dividend) and other limitations and are required to submit a capital restoration plan. A bank’s compliance with such a plan must be guaranteed by any company that controls the undercapitalized institution in an amount equal to the lesser of 5% of the institution’s total assets when deemed undercapitalized or the amount necessary to achieve the status of adequately capitalized. If an “undercapitalized” bank fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is “significantly undercapitalized.” “Significantly

undercapitalized” banks must comply with one or more of a number of additional measures, including, but not limited to, a required sale of sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized, a requirement to reduce total assets, cessation of taking deposits from correspondent banks, the dismissal of directors or officers and restrictions on interest rates paid on deposits, compensation of executive officers and capital distributions by the parent holding company. “Critically undercapitalized” institutions are subject to additional measures including, subject to a narrow exception, the appointment of a receiver or conservator within 270 days after it obtains such status.

At September 30, 2018, Hamilton Bank’s capital exceeded all applicable regulatory requirements.

Loans to One Borrower. Under Maryland law, the maximum amount that Hamilton Bank is generally permitted to lend to any one borrower and his or her related interests may generally not exceed 10% of Hamilton Bank’s unimpaired capital and surplus, which is defined to include Hamilton Bank’s capital, surplus, retained earnings and 50% of its reserve for possible loan losses. By interpretive ruling of the Maryland Commissioner, Maryland banks have the option of lending up to the amount that would be permissible for a national bank, which is generally 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus (defined to include a bank’s total capital for regulatory capital purposes plus any loan loss allowances not included in regulatory capital). Under this formula, Hamilton Bank would have been permitted to lend up to $6.9 million to any one borrower at September 30, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, Hamilton Bank was in compliance with the loans to one borrower limitations.

Branching. Maryland law provides that, with the approval of the Commissioner, Maryland banks may establish branches within Maryland and may establish branches in other states by any means permitted by the laws of such state or by federal law. Federal law permits well capitalized and well managed bank holding companies to acquire banks in any state, subject to Federal Reserve Board approval, certain concentration limits and other specified conditions. Interstate mergers of banks are also authorized, subject to regulatory approval and other specified conditions. In addition, banks are permitted to establish de novo branches on an interstate basis to the extent that branching is authorized by the law of the host state for Hamilton Banks chartered by that state.

Insurance of Deposit Accounts. Hamilton Bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the FDIC. The deposit insurance per account owner is currently $250,000.

The FDIC charges insured depository institutions premiums to maintain the Deposit Insurance Fund. Assessments for most institutions are based on financial measures and supervisory ratings derived from statistical modeling estimating the probability of failure within three years. The assessment range (inclusive of possible adjustments) for most banks and savings associations is 1.5 basis points to 30 basis points of total assets less tangible equity.

In addition to the FDIC assessments, the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) is authorized to impose and collect, with the approval of the FDIC, assessments for anticipated payments, issuance costs and custodial fees on bonds issued by the FICO in the 1980s to recapitalize the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds issued by the FICO are due to mature in September 2019 and the last quarterly assessment charged will in March 2019. For the third calendar quarter of fiscal 2018, the annualized FICO assessment will be equal to 0.14 of a basis point of total assets less tangible capital.

Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC. We do not currently know of any practice, condition or violation that may lead to termination of our deposit insurance.

Dividends. Maryland banks may only pay cash dividends from undivided profits or, with the prior approval of the Commissioner, their surplus in excess of 100% of required capital stock. Federal law provides that an insured depository institution may not make any dividend, including paying a dividend, if after paying such dividend, the institution would fail to satisfy any applicable regulatory capital requirement. In addition, Hamilton Bank’s ability to pay dividends is limited if Hamilton Bank does not have the capital conservation buffer required by the new capital rules, which may limit the ability of Hamilton Bancorp to pay dividends to its stockholders. See — “Capital Requirements”.

Transactions with Related Parties. A state nonmember bank, such as Hamilton Bank, is limited in the amount of “covered transactions” with any affiliate, including Hamilton Bancorp. Covered transactions must be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable, to Hamilton Bank as those provided to a non-affiliate. The term “covered transaction” includes the making of loans, purchase of assets, issuance of a guarantee and similar types of transactions. Certain covered transactions, such as loans to affiliates, must meet specified collateral requirements.

103

##### Table of Contents

Loans to directors, executive officers and principal stockholders of a state nonmember bank must be made on substantially the same terms as those prevailing for comparable transactions with persons who are not executive officers, directors, principal stockholders or employees of Hamilton Bank. Loans to any executive officer, director and principal stockholder are subject to additional restriction, including certain board of director’s approval requirements and specified limits.

Enforcement. The Commissioner has extensive enforcement authority over Maryland banks. This includes the ability to issue cease and desist orders and civil money penalties and to remove directors or officers. The Commissioner may also take possession of a Maryland bank whose capital is impaired and seek to have a receiver appointed by a court.

The FDIC has primary federal enforcement responsibility over state banks under its jurisdiction, including the authority to bring enforcement action against all “institution-related parties,” including stockholders, and any attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on an institution. Formal enforcement action may range from the issuance of capital directive or a cease and desist order for the removal of officers and/or directors, receivership, conservatorship or termination of deposit insurance. Civil money penalties cover a wide range of violations and actions, and range up to $25,000 per day or even up to $1 million per day (in the most egregious cases). Criminal penalties for most financial institution crimes include fines of up to $1 million and imprisonment for up to 30 years.

Community Reinvestment Act. Under the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”), a bank has a continuing and affirmative obligation, consistent with its safe and sound operation, to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate-income neighborhoods. The CRA requires the FDIC to provide a written evaluation of an institution’s CRA performance utilizing a four-tiered descriptive rating system. Since converting our charter, the FDIC has not conducted a CRA examination. Our latest CRA examination, dated April 2015, was performed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) and was rated “Satisfactory.”

Federal Home Loan Bank System. Hamilton 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 well as other entities involved in home mortgage lending. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, Hamilton Bank is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank. As of September 30, 2018, Hamilton Bank was in compliance with this requirement.

Other Regulations

Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by Hamilton Bank are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. Hamilton Bank’s operations are also subject to federal laws applicable to credit transactions. In addition, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issues regulations and standards under federal consumer protection laws that affect consumer businesses. These include regulations setting “ability to repay” and “qualified mortgage” standards for residential mortgage loans and mortgage loan servicing and originator compensation standards. Hamilton Bank is evaluating recent regulations and proposals, and devotes significant compliance, legal and operational resources to compliance with consumer protection regulations and standards.

Holding Company Regulation

General. As a bank holding company, Hamilton Bancorp is subject to comprehensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board under Hamilton Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”), and the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board also has extensive enforcement authority over bank holding companies, including, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders, and to require that a holding company divest subsidiaries (including its bank subsidiaries). In general, enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of law and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices.

Permissible Activities. A bank holding company is limited in its activities to banking, managing or controlling banks, or providing services for its subsidiaries. Other permitted non-bank activities have been identified as closely related to banking. Bank holding companies that are “well capitalized” and “well managed” and whose financial institution subsidiaries have satisfactory Community Reinvestment Act records can elect to become “financial holding companies,” which are permitted to engage in a broader range of financial activities than are permitted to bank holding companies. Hamilton Bancorp has not opted to become a financial holding company.

##### Table of Contents

The Federal Reserve Board has the power to order a holding company or its subsidiaries to terminate any activity, or to terminate its ownership or control of any subsidiary, when it has reasonable cause to believe that the continuation of such activity or such ownership or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of any bank subsidiary of that holding company.

Capital. Bank holding companies are generally required to maintain on a consolidated basis, specified minimum ratios of capital to total assets and capital to risk-weighted assets. However, these requirements generally apply to bank holding companies with consolidated assets of $1 billion or more, and do not apply to Hamilton Bancorp. Recent legislation has increased to $3 billion of assets the threshold for the applicability of consolidated holding company capital requirements, subject the promulgation of regulations by the Federal Reserve board.

Source of Strength. The Dodd-Frank Act extended the “source of strength” doctrine to bank holding companies. The Federal Reserve Board has issued regulations requiring that all bank holding companies serve as a source of managerial and financial strength to their subsidiary bank by providing capital, liquidity and other support in times of financial stress.

Dividends. 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. 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 organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Regulatory guidance provides for prior regulatory consultation with respect to capital distributions in certain circumstances such as where Hamilton Bancorp’s net income for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid over that period, is insufficient to fully fund the dividend or Hamilton Bancorp’s overall rate or earnings retention is inconsistent with Hamilton Bancorp’s capital needs and overall financial condition. The ability of a bank holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary bank becomes undercapitalized. The policy statement also states that a bank holding company should inform the Federal Reserve Board supervisory staff prior to redeeming or repurchasing common stock or perpetual preferred stock if Hamilton Bank holding company is experiencing financial weaknesses or if the repurchase or redemption 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 may affect the ability of Hamilton Bancorp to pay dividends, repurchase shares of common stock or otherwise engage in capital distributions.

Acquisition. Under the Federal Change in Bank Control Act, a notice must be submitted to the Federal Reserve Board if any person (including a company), or group acting in concert, seeks to acquire direct or indirect “control” of a bank holding company. Under certain circumstances, a change of control may occur, and prior notice is required, upon the acquisition of 10% or more of Hamilton Bancorp’s outstanding voting stock, unless the Federal Reserve Board has found that the acquisition will not result in control of Hamilton Bancorp. A change in control definitively occurs upon the acquisition of 25% or more of Hamilton Bancorp’s outstanding voting stock. Under the Change in Bank Control Act, the Federal Reserve Board generally has 60 days from the filing of a complete notice to act, taking into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the competitive effects of the acquisition.

Federal Securities Laws

Hamilton Bancorp’s common stock is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Hamilton Bancorp is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Statements included in this management’s discussion and analysis include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables which provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. Hamilton Bancorp’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, including tangible common equity, in its analysis of Hamilton Bancorp’s performance. The tangible common equity non-GAAP reconciliation, which includes tangible book value per share, is presented in the “Overview” section below.

Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of Hamilton Bancorp without regard to transactional activities. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider Hamilton Bancorp’s performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of Hamilton Bancorp. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Hamilton Bancorp’s results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.

Summary of Recent Performance and Other Activities

Hamilton Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, Hamilton Bank, continued to show improvement in overall earnings, as well as revenue and loan growth during the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago. Net income improved from $803,000 to $1.5 million for the comparable periods, an increase of $741,000 or 92.2%, while interest revenue grew from $8.8 million to $9.9 million, an increase of $1.1 million. These increases are reflective of the overall growth of the loan portfolio over the past year due to organic and purchased loans and Hamilton Bancorp’s focus on managing operating expenses. Interest revenue was partially offset by a $703,000 increase in interest expense over this same period due to the rise in interest rates.

Non-interest revenue of $587,000 remained relatively unchanged for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $561,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2017. On a comparative basis, there were increases relating to gain on sale of loans and other noninterest revenue, partially offset by a reduction in earnings on bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) and gains on sale of investment securities. In the prior year period, Hamilton Bancorp made a decision to hold in portfolio the majority of our residential loan originations versus selling them in the secondary market to partially offset the increased run-off associated with this loan type. Beginning in fiscal 2019, however, we again started to sell qualified residential loan originations into the secondary market as a means to generate noninterest revenue and diversify our income stream. For the six months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded gains of $25,873 on the sale of these loans.

Non-interest expense for the six months ended September 30, 2018 declined modestly to $6.3 million from $6.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2017. We have been able to manage a growing loan portfolio from an operational cost basis and increase our interest revenue as noted earlier. This is reflected in the improvement of Hamilton Bancorp’s efficiency ratio which has improved from 82.0% for the six months ended September 30, 2017 to 77.3% for the six months ended September 30, 2018. We have experienced significant decline in both legal and other professional services expense for the comparable periods related to costs incurred in the prior year, including costs associated with our charter conversion and payments under non-compete agreements that were a part of the Fraternity Community Bancorp, Inc. acquisition in May 2016. Offsetting these declines were increases in data processing expense and FDIC insurance premiums. Management remains committed to managing our operational expenses and achieving higher efficiencies.

For the six months ended September 30, 2018, Hamilton Bancorp did not report any income tax expense due to the release of a portion of the valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets established in the prior fiscal year. Management concluded, based upon analysis and substantive evidence, particularly negative evidence associated with being in a three-year cumulative loss position, that it is more likely than not that Hamilton Bancorp will be unable to generate sufficient taxable income in the foreseeable future to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets. If, in the future, Hamilton Bancorp generates taxable income on a sustained basis sufficient to support the deferred tax assets, the need for a deferred tax valuation allowance could change, resulting in the reversal of all or a portion of the deferred tax asset valuation at that time. The establishment of a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets for financial reporting purposes does not affect how the net operating loss carryforwards may be utilized on our subsequent income tax returns. Income tax expense for the periods reported is based upon year-to-date results and is not reflective of annual earnings.

The following highlights contain additional financial data and events relating to the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2017:

| • |  | Hamilton Bancorp reported net income of $665,000, or $0.21 per common share, and $1.5 million, or $0.48 per common share for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to net income of $411,000, or $0.13 per common share, and $803,000, or $0.25 per common share for the comparable periods ended September 30, 2017. This represents an increase of 92.0% in earnings per share for the six-month comparable periods.

| • |  | Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $3.7 million, or $138,000 higher than the same period a year ago. For the six months ended September 30, 2018, net interest income increased $352,000, or 4.9%, to $7.6 million compared to $7.2 million for the same six-month period a year ago.

| • |  | The net interest margin increased 6 basis points from 3.12% to 3.18% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively, due to the increase in net interest income. The net interest margin for the six months ended September 30, 2018 also improved from 3.10% to 3.12% for the same reason.

| • |  | Return on average assets and equity for the first half of fiscal 2019 improved to 0.59% and 5.57%, compared to 0.31% and 2.64% for the first half of fiscal 2018; a 90.3% and 111.0% improvement, respectively.

| • |  | Efficiency ratio improved from 82.0% for the six months ended September 30, 2017 to 77.3% for the six months ended September 30, 2018; an improvement of 5.7%. The improvement is attributable to increased revenue and the reduction of non-interest expenses, including legal and other professional services.

| • |  | Total assets declined $23.3 million from $525.5 million at March 31, 2018 to $502.2 million at September 30, 2018. The decline in overall assets is primarily attributable to a decline in investments and gross loans.

| • |  | Cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.3 million, or 5.7%, to $22.0 million at September 30, 2018, compared to $23.4 million at March 31, 2018, and investments also declined $6.5 million from $75.4 million to $68.9 million over the same period. The decline in the investment portfolio is related to normal principal pay downs on mortgage-backed securities.

| • |  | Gross loans decreased $14.6 million, or 3.7%, from $389.2 million to $374.6 million. The decrease is due to principal pay downs and pay-offs within the loan portfolio, including $9.6 million in pay-offs related to one commercial relationship that totaled $6.3 million and a commercial real estate nonaccrual loan for $3.3 million.

| • |  | The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans improved to 49.8% from 27.9% over the quarter ended September 30, 2018. This improvement resulted from the pay-off on a $3.3 million nonaccrual loan in which past due interest and all expenses incurred were collected and a $194,000 increase in the allowance for loan losses over the quarter.

| • |  | Annualized net charge-offs to average loans improved to 0.05% for the six-month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to 0.26% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, while the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans increased from 0.73% to 0.81% over this same period.

| • |  | Total deposits decreased $16.7 million to $388.5 million at September 30, 2018, while borrowings decreased $7.1 million to $53.5 million. The decline in deposits was largely related to higher costing time deposits which declined by $12.5 million; while lower costing core deposits declined by $4.0 million. Core deposits at September 30, 2018 made up 39.6% of total deposits compared to 38.9% and 40.1% at March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

| • |  | At September 30, 2018 Hamilton Bancorp had a book value of $16.23 per common share and a tangible book value of $13.57 per common share compared to $15.87 and $13.18, respectively, at March 31, 2018.

Book value and tangible book value increased as a result of the net income reported for the quarter. Tangible book value, a non-GAAP measure, was determined as follows:

|  | September 30, 2018 |  |  | March 31, 2018 |
Tangible book value per common share: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Total stockholders’ equity |  | $ | 55,459,509 |  |  | $ | 54,076,132 |
Less: Goodwill and other intangible assets |  |  | (9,113,731 | ) |  |  | (9,176,764 | )
Tangible common equity (Non-GAAP) |  | $ | 46,345,778 |  |  | $ | 44,899,368 |
Outstanding common shares |  |  | 3,416,414 |  |  |  | 3,407,613 |
Book value per common share (GAAP) |  | $ | 16.23 |  |  | $ | 15.87 |
Tangible book value per common share (Non-GAAP) |  | $ | 13.57 |  |  | $ | 13.18 |

| • |  | Hamilton Bancorp maintained strong liquidity based upon the amount and make-up of its investment portfolio. At September 30, 2018, Hamilton Bank was deemed “well capitalized” under federal regulations.

Strategic Plan

We have based our 2019-2021 strategic plan on the objective of improving stockholder value and growth through creating sustainable and profitable growth given the current and expected economic and competitive environment in the financial services industry. Our short-term goals include continuing the growth of operating revenue, changing the mix of our deposits base to be more concentrated in lower costing core deposits, collecting payments on non-accrual and past due loans, enhancing and improving credit quality, expanding fee income, maintaining a branch network that is economical and efficient, and using technology to improve efficiencies and enhance the customer experience.

We identified several strategic priorities in our three-year Strategic Plan. Those priorities included focusing on the following core areas:

| • |  | Efficient Operating Revenue Growth – Generating sustainable, profitable operating revenue through smart growth of earning assets that are funded by low-cost core deposits and growth of noninterest income. In addition, we will focus on efficient utilization of Hamilton Bank’s assets and other resources. This strategic priority includes prudent loan growth, sales strategies to attract and grow small business deposit and other fee income services, strategic marketing campaigns, studying and benchmarking efficiency and productivity, and focusing on ways to utilize technology to drive earnings.

| • |  | Low-Cost Funding Strategies – Focusing on utilizing and growing low-cost core deposits as the primary funding source for loans. Given the current environment for higher-returns on investments, the retention of deposit customers along with targeted sales strategies will be important to growing deposits. Comprehensive marketing plans for increasing brand awareness in our market and promotion of products and services will be required, along with a seamless, fully integrated delivery experience for our customers that leverages technology and optimizes efficiencies. These strategies will apply to not just consumers, but to all commercial and small business customers.

| • |  | Capital to Support Growth – Increasing the capital and value of the holding company’s stock through sustainable, consistent earnings, prudent capital management and enhancement of overall “franchise value”. We will continually evaluate Hamilton Bank’s capital needs and, if additional capital is needed, evaluate the most suitable type of capital, whether it be subordinated-debt or common or preferred stock.

Although the current economic climate continues to present significant challenges for the financial industry, management feels that based on our strategic initiatives we have positioned Hamilton Bancorp to capitalize on the opportunities that may become available in the current economy, as well as a healthier economy going forward.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions that we use are based on historical experience and various other factors and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

For a discussion of significant accounting policies, see Note 1—Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements. The following are the accounting policies that we believe require the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available:

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered necessary to cover inherent credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for losses on loans which is charged against income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates and has identified this policy as one of our most critical accounting policies.

Management, at a minimum, performs a quarterly evaluation of the allowance for loan losses. Consideration is given to historical losses in conjunction with a variety of other factors including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal loan reviews and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change.

The analysis has two components, specific and general allocations. Specific allocations can be made for estimated losses related to loans that are determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. If the fair value of the loan is less than the loan’s carrying value, a charge is recorded for the difference. The general allocation is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan, risk weighting (if applicable) and payment history. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations. This analysis establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general reserve.

We cannot predict with certainty the amount of loan charge-offs that we will incur. Our regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination processes, periodically review our allowance for credit losses. Such agencies may require that we recognize additions to the allowance for credit losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. To the extent that actual outcomes differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions to the allowance for credit losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.

Securities Valuation and Impairment. We classify our investments in debt and equity securities as either held to maturity or available for sale. Securities classified as held to maturity are recorded at cost or amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value. We obtain our fair values from a third-party service. This service’s fair value calculations are based on quoted market prices when such prices are available. If quoted market prices are not available, estimates of fair value are computed using a variety of techniques, including extrapolation from the quoted prices of similar instruments or recent trades for thinly traded securities, fundamental analysis, or through obtaining purchase quotes. Due to the subjective nature of the valuation process, it is possible that the actual fair values of these investments could differ from the estimated amounts, thereby affecting our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

##### Table of Contents

If the estimated value of investments is less than the cost or amortized cost, we evaluate whether an event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. If such an event or change has occurred and we determine that the impairment is other-than-temporary, we record the impairment of the investment in the period in which the event or change occurred. We also consider how long a security has been in a loss position in determining if it is other than temporarily impaired. Management also assesses the nature of the unrealized losses taking into consideration factors such as changes in risk-free interest rates, general credit spread widening, market supply and demand, creditworthiness of the issuer, and quality of the underlying collateral. At September 30, 2018, all of our securities were either issued by U.S. government agencies, U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, municipalities, or corporations.

Goodwill Impairment. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Hamilton Bancorp is considered the Reporting Unit for purposes of impairment testing. Impairment testing requires that the fair value of Hamilton Bancorp be compared to the carrying amount of Hamilton Bancorp’s net assets, including goodwill. If the fair value of Hamilton Bancorp exceeds the book value, no write-down of recorded goodwill is required. If the fair value of Hamilton Bancorp is less than book value, an expense may be required to write-down the related goodwill to the proper carrying value. We test for impairment of goodwill during February of each year based upon December financial information and current projections. We estimate the fair value of Hamilton Bancorp utilizing four valuation methods including the Comparable Transactions Approach, the Control Premium Approach, the Public Market Peers Approach, and the Discounted Cash Flow Approach.

Based on our annual impairment testing as of December 31, 2017, there was no evidence of impairment with respect to our goodwill or intangible assets. Subsequent to this testing, there was a triggering event at March 31, 2018 associated with the establishment of a valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset. Due to this event, we again performed impairment testing on our goodwill and intangible assets and concluded that there was still no impairment.

Business Combinations. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, acquired assets and assumed liabilities are included with the acquirer’s accounts as of the date of acquisition at estimated fair value, with any excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired (including identifiable core deposit intangibles) capitalized as goodwill. In the event that the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the purchase price, an acquisition gain is recorded for the difference in the consolidated statements of operations for the period in which the acquisition occurred. The core deposit intangible asset is recognized as an asset apart from goodwill when it arises from contractual or other legal rights or if it is capable of being separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged. In addition, acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs are recognized as period expenses as incurred.

Income Taxes. We account for income taxes under the asset/liability method. We recognize deferred tax assets for the future consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates in income in the period indicated by the enactment date. We establish a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when, in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become realizable. The judgment about the level of future taxable income is dependent to a great extent on matters that may, at least in part, be beyond our control.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018

Assets. Total assets decreased $23.3 million to $502.2 million at September 30, 2018 from $525.5 million at March 31, 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to a $14.6 million reduction in gross loans, a $6.5 million decrease in the investment portfolio, and a $1.3 million decline in cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2018 totaled $22.0 million compared to $36.1 million and $23.4 million at June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively; a 64.1% decline over the last quarter. The higher balances through June 30, 2018 were a result of proceeds received from principal pay downs and/or pay-offs within the loan portfolio and a declining investment portfolio from normal principal payments associated with the mortgage-backed security portfolio. Excluding funds needed for liquidity and operational needs, management intends to utilize any excess cash for future loan growth and/or possible repayment of maturing advances.

Investment Securities. Our investment portfolio consists primarily of investment grade securities including U.S. government agency and government-sponsored entity (“GSEs”) securities, securities issued by states, counties and municipalities, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. At September 30, 2018, all securities are classified as available for sale. While we usually intend to hold investment securities until maturity, this classification provides us the opportunity to divest of securities that may no longer meet our liquidity objectives. During the six months ended September 30, 2018, we did not sell any securities.

Investment securities decreased $6.5 million, or 8.7%, to $68.9 million at September 30, 2018, from $75.4 million at March 31, 2018. The decrease is attributable to $7.1 million in cash flows resulting from normal principal payments associated with our collateralized mortgage obligation and mortgage-backed security portfolios, partially offset by the purchase of one security during the six-month period with a book value of $2.0 million. The fair value of the investment portfolio declined $606,000 from an unrealized net loss position of $2.9 million at March 31, 2018 to an unrealized net loss position of $3.5 million at September 30, 2018. The decrease in fair value of the investment portfolio is a result of the increase in interest rates over the past six months.

We have evaluated securities with unrealized losses for an extended period of time and determined that these losses are temporary because, at this point in time, we have the ability to hold them until maturity. Currently, we have no intent to sell these securities; however, if market conditions or funding needs change, we may sell securities if needed. As the maturity date moves closer and/or interest rates decline, we expect that any unrealized losses for individual securities in the portfolio will decline or dissipate. In addition, we perform an annual impairment analysis with respect to securities issued by states, counties, municipalities, and corporations that are in a loss position for an extended period of time, typically twelve months. As a result, we have not identified any portion of the unrecorded loss as being attributed to credit deterioration in the issuer of the security.

Loans. Excluding loan premiums and loan origination fees and costs, gross loans receivable decreased by $14.6 million, or 3.7%, to $374.6 million at September 30, 2018 from $389.2 million at March 31, 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to normal principal pay-downs and pay-offs within the loan portfolio, including $6.3 million in pay-offs associated with one commercial relationship and $3.3 million attributed to one nonaccrual loan in which we collected all of our principal and past due interest, plus all legal and other expenses incurred. Included in gross loans at September 30, 2018 are acquired loans with a book balance of $104.5 million associated with the prior acquisitions of Fraternity and Fairmount institutions (these loans are reflected in the “acquired” loan column of the table below). At September 30, 2018, gross loans receivable represented 74.6% of total assets compared to 68.6% of total assets a year ago.

Hamilton Bancorp’s largest category of loans continues to be residential one-to four-family loans as a result of the loans acquired in the Fraternity and Fairmount acquisitions. This segment of our loan portfolio comprises 40.6% of the entire loan portfolio at September 30, 2018, the same percentage as of March 31, 2018 despite a decrease of $6.0 million. During the last half of fiscal 2017 and into fiscal 2018 we retained in portfolio many of the traditional residential mortgage loans we originated, versus selling them in the secondary market, due to the increase in normal attrition within this loan segment resulting from our acquisitions. Prior to that time, we generally sold these loans in the secondary market at a premium to assist with managing interest rate risk and to enhance non-interest revenue. At the beginning of this year, we began to once again sell most newly originated residential loans that qualify into the secondary market versus putting them in portfolio for those same reasons. To date we have originated and sold $1.3 million in loans into the secondary market. Because of this, we expect the one-to four-family residential loan portfolio to continue to decline as we focus more on the growth within the commercial portfolio to replace the residential run-off and assist with managing interest rate risk.

As a means to supplement our residential loan portfolio, Hamilton Bancorp began to promote its one-to-four family residential construction lending program several years ago. During the first half of fiscal 2019, Hamilton Bank originated commitments of $6.2 million in residential construction loans. At September 30, 2018 we have $8.4 million in residential construction commitments, of which $3.6 million in funds have been advanced; compared to $8.7 million in residential construction commitments at March 31, 2018 of which $5.4 million in funds had been advanced. The construction period on residential homes is typically nine to twelve months, at which time Hamilton Bank is often repaid through permanent financing by a third party.

Real estate investor loans represent funds advanced to borrowers for the purchase or refinance of non-owner occupied one-to-four family properties. These loans made up $24.9 million, or 6.6%, of gross loans at September 30, 2018, including a remaining balance of $17.0 million of such loans acquired from Fraternity and Fairmount. This type of lending typically involves more risk than originating owner-occupied one-to-four family residential mortgages. Hamilton Bank typically refrains from originating this type of loan.

Hamilton Bank continues to focus on growth through origination and/or purchase of both commercial real estate and commercial business loans as these loans offer higher rates of return and shorter maturity periods than typical retail lending. Over the six months ended September 30, 2018, we saw strong organic growth within our commercial real estate loan portfolio. We organically originated $11.5 million in commercial real estate loans and transferred or reclassified nearly $2.0 million more from commercial construction loans over this period. This resulted in an overall increase, after several loan pay-offs and normal principal payments, of nearly $3.5 million within this loan segment. Commercial business loans declined from $40.1 million to $37.9 million, a decrease of 5.6% or $2.3 million. Commercial business loans, although relatively stable, can fluctuate based upon demands or pay-downs on respective lines of credit. Overall commercial loans, including commercial construction loans, have declined since March 31, 2018 due to $6.3 million in pay-offs associated with one commercial relationship that had several commercial loans with Hamilton Bank and the pay-off of a nonaccrual commercial real estate loan with a book balance of $3.3 million.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance. We invest in bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) to provide us with a funding source for our benefit plan obligations. BOLI also provides us noninterest income that is tax-exempt. Our investment in BOLI increased by $129,000 to $17.7 million at September 30, 2018. The increase is attributable to the increase in cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policies. Federal regulations generally limit our investment in BOLI to 25% of our Tier 1 capital plus our allowance for loan losses. Our amount of BOLI at September 30, 2018 exceeded these limits because of the BOLI we acquired in the Fraternity acquisition in May 2016 and the increase in cash surrender value of these policies over the years. Due to the amount of BOLI currently held, Hamilton Bancorp has no plans to purchase additional BOLI at this time.

Deposits. Total deposits (excluding premiums on acquired deposits) decreased $16.5 million, or 4.1%, to $388.2 million at September 30, 2018 from $404.7 million at March 31, 2018. Hamilton Bancorp continues to focus on generating lower cost, core deposits (which includes all deposits other than certificates of deposit) to support continued loan growth. Core deposits accounted for 39.6% of total deposits at September 30, 2018, compared to 39.0% at March 31, 2018.

Our strategy with respect to deposits has been to maintain our current certificate of deposit base as needed to support loan demand by pricing more competitively in the marketplace or through short-term certificate of deposit promotions, as we focus on growing our core deposits at a faster pace to reduce our overall cost of funds. During the first half of fiscal 2019, however, we have not been as aggressive in maintaining our certificates of deposits based upon funding and liquidity needs. Over this period, time deposits have decreased $12.5 million, or 5.1%, to $234.5 million at September 30, 2018. As interest rates have risen in the past six months, the market competition for time deposits has gotten more competitive with respect to pricing. We have strategically decided not to price at the top of the market, unless through a promotional deposit product, or match competitor pricing in certain circumstances as a means to manage interest expense. Core deposits though have also decreased $4.0 million, or 2.5%, from $157.7 million at March 31, 2018 to $153.7 million at September 30, 2018. There may be instances though when funding demands are more immediate. To meet these demands, Hamilton Bancorp entered into a contract and began utilizing a certificate of deposit subscription service in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The cost of these deposits is more expensive than traditional certificates of deposit because of the ability to provide the funding needed in a timely manner; but can be less costly than borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank or other sources. During the first six months of fiscal 2019 we did not need to utilize this service to originate deposits to support any additional funding requirements.

Borrowings. Borrowings consist of both short and long-term advances from the FHLB. At September 30, 2018, outstanding advances from the FHLB decreased $7.1 million, or 11.75%, to $53.6 million compared to $60.7 million at March 31, 2018. Approximately $6.0 million of this decline occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2018. During the first half of fiscal 2019 we have had $29.0 million in borrowings that have either matured or been called. We elected to rollover $22.0 million of those borrowings and pay-off $7.0 million to date.

At September 30, 2018, $7.0 million of the total advances are considered short-term and mature in less than one year, while the remaining $46.6 million in advances are considered long-term and mature in more than one year (See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Included in long-term advances is $11.6 million in advances that mature on a quarterly basis; however, they are associated with several cash flow hedge transactions and will be continuously renewed over the expected life of the hedged transactions. The hedge transactions currently have an average life of 5.8 years. Excluding the advances associated with the hedge transactions, the longest outstanding borrowing is for $2.0 million and matures in September 2023.

The FHLB borrowings provide an alternative means to support the cash outflow needed to fund new loan originations in coordination with deposit growth. FHLB borrowings can provide a less expensive means to support cash outflow when compared to selling higher yielding investment securities. These obligations are secured by our residential and home equity loan portfolios. At September 30, 2018, we had the ability to borrow approximately $76.7 million in additional funds from the FHLB, subject to our pledging sufficient assets. These obligations will be repaid as our cash position strengthens.

Equity. Total equity increased $1.4 million or 2.6%, to $55.5 million at September 30, 2018 from $54.1 million at March 31, 2018. The change in equity is primarily attributable to net income of $1.5 million reported for the first six months of fiscal 2019, along with a $251,000 increase in additional paid in capital resulting from the expense derived from equity awards granted in prior periods and a $194,000 increase in the market value of our cash

flow hedge on FHLB borrowings. These increases were partially offset by a $412,000 decline in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the decrease in the fair value of the investment portfolio. The fair value of the investment portfolio decreased while the fair value of our cash flow hedge increased due to rising interest rates that occurred over that same period. Hamilton Bancorp’s book value per common share was $16.23 at September 30, 2018 compared to $15.87 at March 31, 2018. At September 30, 2018, Hamilton Bank remains “well capitalized” as defined under federal regulations.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017

Assets. Total assets increased $11.0 million to $525.5 million at March 31, 2018 from $514.5 million at March 31, 2017. The increase is primarily attributable to a $50.2 million increase in gross loans, partially offset by a $27.0 million decline in investment securities, an $8.0 million decrease in net deferred tax assets, and $6.0 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $6.0 million, or 20.4%, to $23.4 million at March 31, 2018 from $29.3 million at March 31, 2017. The decline from March 31, 2017 is in part a result of cash and investments used to fund organic loan growth and purchase various pools of residential mortgage, commercial business, and consumer loans throughout the year; thereby converting lower interest-earning cash and investments into higher interest-earning loans. In the last quarter of fiscal 2018, we were able to replenish and increase our cash position by $13.3 million through an increase in our core deposit base.

Certificates of Deposit Held as Investment. Certificates of deposit (“CDs”) of $499,000 remained unchanged from March 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018. Hamilton Bancorp currently holds two CDs that are equal to or less than $250,000 and fully insured by the FDIC. The weighted average rate and term of the portfolio is 2.28% and 3.6 years, respectively.

Securities. Our investment portfolio consists primarily of investment grade securities including U.S. government agency and government-sponsored entity (“GSEs”) securities, securities issued by states, counties and municipalities, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. At March 31, 2018, all securities are classified as available for sale. While we usually intend to hold investment securities until maturity, this classification provides us the opportunity to divest of securities that may no longer meet our liquidity objectives.

Investment securities decreased $27.0 million, or 26.4%, to $75.4 million at March 31, 2018, from $102.4 million at March 31, 2017. The decrease is related to $15.1 million in cash flows resulting from normal principal payments associated with the mortgage-backed security portfolio, as well as the sale of $11.6 million in securities during fiscal 2018, including $7.4 million of securities sold in the third quarter ended December 31, 2017. The sale of securities during the year resulted in a loss of $2,000. The fair value of the investment portfolio declined $676,000 from an unrealized net loss position of $2.2 million at March 31, 2017 to an unrealized net loss position of $2.9 million at March 31, 2018. The decrease in fair value of the investment portfolio is a result of the increase in interest rates over the past fiscal year, particularly the last quarter of fiscal 2018. Partially offsetting the decline in value is the passage of time as certain investments get closer to maturity.

We have evaluated securities with unrealized losses for an extended period of time and determined that these losses are temporary because, at this point in time, we have the ability to hold them until maturity. Currently, we have no intent to sell these securities; however, if market conditions or funding needs change, we may sell securities if needed. As the maturity date moves closer and/or interest rates decline, we expect that any unrealized losses for individual securities in the portfolio will decline or dissipate. In addition, we perform an annual impairment analysis with respect to securities issued by states, counties, municipalities, and corporations that are in a loss position for an extended period of time, typically twelve months. As a result, we have not identified any portion of the unrecorded loss as being attributed to credit deterioration in the issuer of the security.

Premises and Equipment. We currently have seven full service branches, one of which operates out of our administrative offices. With our acquisitions of Fairmount and Fraternity, we added three new branch locations and one that overlapped an existing location.

In the acquisition of Fairmount, Hamilton Bancorp acquired the main office, which included the administrative offices and the only full- service branch, three vacant lots, and an unoccupied branch building that was not in operation at the time of acquisition. Due to growth, we subsequently re-located several back-office departments to the administrative office space that was acquired. Hamilton Bancorp then sold the unoccupied branch building in fiscal 2017 with a book balance of $405,000 for $425,000 with net proceeds of $393,000, excluding closing costs.

In the acquisition of Fraternity, Hamilton Bancorp acquired two branches and the main office located in Baltimore City that included both the administrative offices of Fraternity and a full-service branch. The main office was owned by Hamilton Bank and the other two branches were under a lease agreement at the time of acquisition. One of the leased branches was in close proximity and serviced the same geographic area as one of Hamilton’s existing branches that was also leased. The acquired branch was in a better location, smaller in size, and less expensive to operate. As a result, management decided to close our existing branch in May 2016 and move our current customers to the newly acquired location; however, we were unable to get out of the then in place lease agreement. Consequently, in accordance with accounting guidelines, we immediately recognized the present value of the remaining lease payments under that lease, which amounted to $495,000. In November 2017, we reached an agreement with the lessor for $250,000 to terminate the lease and allow another third party to occupy the property. The agreement saved Hamilton Bank approximately $32,000 over the remaining term of the lease.

In December 2017 we sold the building located in the Pigtown community of Baltimore City that was obtained in the acquisition of Fraternity for $830,000. The building housed the administrative offices of Fraternity and our original Pigtown branch. Subsequent to the acquisition, we continued to operate the Pigtown branch from this location; however, the administrative space was not being utilized. We determined it would be more cost effective to sell the building and relocate the branch within the same community to a smaller, more efficient space that would provide operational cost savings. The sale of the building and various furniture and equipment resulted in a gain of $213,000. The new Pigtown branch, which is being leased, was opened in March 2018.

We also relocated our Ellicott City branch within the same geographic area of Howard county during the second quarter of fiscal 2018. Similar to our Pigtown branch, we moved to a smaller, more efficient space that provided cost savings. The former and new location were or are leased properties. In addition, we recognized a loss of $115,000 associated with the write-off or disposal of leasehold improvements that pertained to our legacy or former Cockeysville branch.

Loans. Excluding loan premiums and loan origination fees and costs, gross loans receivable increased by $50.2 million, or 14.8%, to $389.2 million at March 31, 2018 from $339.0 million at March 31, 2017. The increase is attributable to organic growth and approximately $54.0 million in loan purchases throughout the year. The various loan purchases included residential mortgages, commercial business, and consumer loans. Included in gross loans at March 31, 2018 are acquired loans with a book balance of $112.0 million associated with the acquisitions of Fraternity and Fairmount institutions (these loans are reflected in the “acquired” loan column of the table below). At March 31, 2018, gross loans receivable represented 74.1% of total assets compared to 65.9% of total assets at March 31, 2017. The following table details the composition of loans and the related percentage mix and growth of total loans. We did not hold any loans for sale as of March 31, 2018 or 2017.

Hamilton Bancorp’s largest concentration of loans continues to be residential one-to four-family loans as a result of the loans acquired in the Fraternity and Fairmount acquisitions. This loan portfolio comprises 41% of the entire loan portfolio at March 31, 2018, an increase of $7.0 million from March 31, 2017. This growth is primarily related to the purchase of $19.3 million in residential mortgage loans during the second half of fiscal 2018. In addition, over the last half of fiscal 2017 and into fiscal 2018 we began to portfolio many of the traditional residential mortgage loans we originated, versus selling them in the secondary market, due to the increase in normal attrition within this loan segment resulting from our acquisitions. Prior to that time, we generally sold these loans in the secondary market at a premium to assist with managing interest rate risk and to enhance non-interest revenue. At the beginning of this year, we began to once again sell most newly originated residential loans that qualify into the secondary market versus putting them in portfolio for those same reasons.

In fiscal 2015, as a means to supplement our residential loan portfolio, Hamilton Bancorp began to promote its one-to-four family residential construction lending program. During fiscal 2018, Hamilton Bank originated commitments of $12.2 million in residential construction loans. As a result, at March 31, 2018, we had $8.7 million in residential construction commitments, of which $5.4 million in funds have been advanced; compared to $11.8 million in residential construction commitments at March 31, 2017 of which $6.0 million in funds had been advanced. The construction period on residential homes is typically nine to twelve months, at which time Hamilton Bank is often repaid through permanent financing by a third party.

Real estate investor loans represent funds advanced to borrowers for the purchase or refinance of non-owner occupied one-to-four family properties. These loans make up $26.7 million, or 6.9%, of total gross loans at March 31, 2018, including a remaining balance of $17.5 million that were acquired from Fraternity and Fairmount. This type of lending can involve more risk than originating owner-occupied one-to-four family residential mortgages and as such, Hamilton Bank typically refrains from originating this type of loan organically.

Hamilton Bank continues to focus on growth through the origination or purchase of both commercial real estate and commercial business loans as these loans offer higher rates of return and shorter maturity periods than typical retail lending. The largest increase in loans over fiscal 2018 in terms of dollars, is a $18.6 million, or 86.4%, increase in commercial business loans from $21.5 million at March 31, 2017 to $40.1 million at March 31, 2018. In the last half of fiscal 2017, management focused on diversifying the commercial loan portfolio and seeking more asset-based type lending relationships both organically and through purchases. The majority of the increase in commercial business loans is related to the purchase of a $15.5 million pool of commercial business loans at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The pool of loans consists of commercial lease loans that are concentrated in equipment that is necessary to operate a business segment, such as medical equipment. Over this same period, commercial real estate loans have also grown by $4.6 million, or 4.3%, from $107.6 million at March 31, 2017 to $112.2 million at March 31, 2018. Commercial real estate comprises 28.8% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 2018, down slightly from 31.7% at March 31, 2017 due to the growth and diversification of the commercial business loan portfolio over this same period. Hamilton Bank continues to see the benefits of our commercial lending platform that was restructured in the first half of fiscal 2016, with new personnel and improved underwriting and monitoring procedures, from both an origination and credit quality perspective.

As a means to continue to increase revenue and diversify the loan portfolio, a group of consumer loans totaling $19.8 million was purchased in August 2017 from another financial institution. This portfolio of loans was collateralized by various makes and models of recreational vehicles (RV). Prior to this purchase, the consumer portfolio made up less than 1.0% of the total loan portfolio. This purchase increased our consumer loan balances significantly from $3.2 million at March 31, 2017 to $19.6 million at March 31, 2018; accounting for 5.0% of the entire loan portfolio. As a result, we were able to further diversify the composition of the loan portfolio and increase our net interest income.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance. We invest in bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) to provide us with a funding source for our benefit plan obligations. BOLI also provides us noninterest income that is nontaxable. At March 31, 2018, our investment in bank-owned life insurance was $17.5 million, a decrease of $797,000 from $18.3 million at March 31, 2017. Federal regulations generally limit our investment in BOLI to 25% of our Tier 1 capital plus our allowance for loan losses. Our amount of BOLI exceeded these limits because of the BOLI we acquired in the Fraternity acquisition and the increase in cash surrender value of these policies over the years.

##### Table of Contents

The decrease of $797,000 is attributable to the payout of several BOLI policies related to the unexpected passing of a beloved employee during the current year. Hamilton Bancorp received $2.1 million in proceeds, of which $1.3 million was applied against the cash surrender value of the BOLI policies and the remaining $835,000 was recorded as non-interest income. The decline associated with the payout under the policies was partially offset by the increase in cash surrender value of the other BOLI insurance policies that are held.

Deposits. Total deposits (excluding premiums on acquired deposits) decreased $7.3 million to $404.7 million at March 31, 2018 from $412.0 million at March 31, 2017. Hamilton Bancorp continues to focus on generating lower cost, core deposits (which includes all deposits other than certificates of deposit) and maintaining maturing certificates of deposit to support continued loan growth. Overall core deposits have decreased $6.7 million, or 4.0%, to $157.7 million at March 31, 2018 compared to $164.4 million at March 31, 2017. This decline is attributable to the end of a promotional rate on certain money market accounts, as well as a very competitive deposit market. Core deposits accounted for 38.9% of total deposits at March 31, 2018, compared to 39.9% at March 31, 2017. Hamilton Bank is currently running deposit promotions to attract new customers in a competitive deposit market.

The following table details the composition of deposits and the related percentage mix and growth of total deposits.

As loan demand increases, our strategy with respect to deposits has been to maintain our current certificate of deposit base, as we focus on growing our lower costing core deposits at a faster pace. We hope to accomplish this by pricing more competitively in the marketplace or through short-term certificate of deposit promotions. However, there may be instances when funding demands are more immediate. To meet these demands, Hamilton Bancorp entered into a contract and began utilizing a certificate of deposit subscription service in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. As a result, we were able to obtain $13.8 million in certificate of deposits in the second half of fiscal 2018 through this service. The cost of these deposits is more expensive than traditional certificates of deposit because of the ability to provide the funding needed in a timely manner, but can be less costly than borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank or other sources. We may continue to utilize this service as a funding source when other less costly means are not able to meet our funding or liquidity requirements.

Borrowings. Borrowings in fiscal 2018 consisted of both short and long-term advances from the FHLB and a note payable associated with an automobile that was paid-off in the fourth quarter. At March 31, 2018, outstanding advances from the FHLB increased $25.0 million to $60.6 million at March 31, 2018 compared to $35.6 million at March 31, 2017. The increase is attributable to additional FHLB advances that were entered into to fund various loan purchases throughout the year. Already included in the FHLB advances is $15.0 million in FHLB advances assumed in the Fraternity acquisition, of which $10 million is to mature in fiscal 2019 and $5.0 million that matured in fiscal 2018 and were rolled over. The advances assumed from Fraternity were originally longer-term borrowings and carried higher contractual rates of interest varying from 3.4% to 4.3%. As a result of the higher stated rates, Hamilton Bancorp recorded a discount of $794,000 when accounting for the borrowings at fair value upon acquisition. At March 31, 2018, the remaining discount is $103,000. The accretion of this discount offsets the higher contractual rate on these borrowings.

120

##### Table of Contents

At March 31, 2018, $26.0 million of the total advances are considered short-term and mature in less than one year, while the remaining $34.6 million in advances are considered long-term and mature in more than one year. Included in long-term advances is $11.6 million in advances that mature on a quarterly basis; however, they are associated with several cash flow hedge transactions and will be continuously renewed over the expected life of the hedged transactions. The hedge transactions currently have an average life of 6.3 years. Excluding the advances associated with the hedge transactions, the longest outstanding borrowing is for $3.0 million and matures in August 2021.

The FHLB borrowings provide an alternative means to support the cash outflow needed to fund new loan originations in coordination with deposit growth. FHLB borrowings can provide a less expensive means to support cash outflow when compared to selling higher yielding investment securities. These obligations are secured by our residential and home equity loan portfolios. At March 31, 2018, we had the ability to borrow approximately $68.3 million in additional funds from the FHLB, subject to our pledging sufficient assets. These obligations will be repaid as our cash position strengthens.

Equity. Total equity decreased $5.7 million, or 9.6%, to $54.1 million at March 31, 2018 from $59.8 million at March 31, 2017. The change in equity is primarily attributable the $6.0 million loss reported for fiscal 2018 along with a $510,000 decline in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the decrease in the fair value of the investment portfolio. The fair value of the investment portfolio declined as a result of the increase in interest rates that occurred over the year, but more so during our fourth quarter. The decrease was partially offset by a $457,000 increase in additional paid in capital resulting from the expense derived from equity awards granted in prior periods and the allocation of 14,812 shares of common stock under the Employee Stock Ownership Program. Hamilton Bancorp’s book value per common share was $15.87 at March 31, 2018 compared to $17.53 at March 31, 2017. At March 31, 2018, Hamilton Bank remains “well capitalized” as defined under federal regulations.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017

General. Net income was $1.5 million, or $0.48 per common share for the six-month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to a net income of $803,000, or $0.25 per common share for the same period in fiscal 2018, a period-over-period increase of $741,000. The increase in net income was driven by an increase in net interest income associated with growth in loans over the past twelve months, lower noninterest expense, and no tax expense due to the establishment of a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets at the end of fiscal 2018.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $352,000, or 4.9%, to $7.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $7.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in net interest income was due to a $1.1 million increase in interest revenue, partially offset by a $703,000 increase in interest expense. The increase in interest revenue was due to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, particularly higher yielding loans, as well as an increase in average yield on interest-earning assets. The average balance in interest-earning assets increased $20.4 million, or 4.4%, over the first half of fiscal year 2019 compared to the same period in fiscal 2018, while the average yield increased 28 basis points to 4.08% from 3.80%, respectively. The average balances increased period-over-period due to organic loan growth and the purchase of several pools of loans in the second half of fiscal 2018, including residential mortgage loan pools totaling $19.2 million and several guaranteed SBA loans equal to $3.2 million.

The increase in interest expense for the six-month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period last year was the result of a 30 basis points increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 0.78% for the six months ended September 30, 2017 to 1.08% for the six months ended September 30, 2018. In addition, the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities also increased $13.4 million from $415.7 million to $429.1 million. The increase resulted from the growth in average borrowings, partially offset by a decrease in average interest-bearing deposits. The net interest margin increased 2 basis point from 3.10% for the six months ended September 30, 2017 to 3.12% for the six months ended September 30, 2018.

Interest Revenue. Interest revenue increased $1.1 million, or 12.0% to $9.9 million during the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $8.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase resulted from increases in interest and fees on loans and interest on federal funds sold and other bank deposits, partially offset by a decrease in interest on investment securities.

##### Table of Contents

Interest and fees on loans increased $1.0 million, or 13.2%, to $8.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $7.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in interest and fees on loans is due to a $31.8 million increase in the average balance of net loans from $345.5 million to $377.2 million period-over-period. The increase in average loans is attributable to organic growth generated by our commercial lending area and strategic loan purchases that occurred in the second half of fiscal 2018. In addition, the average yield earned on loans increased 16 basis points from 4.51% for the six months ended September 30, 2017 to 4.67% for the six months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in yield is a result of interest revenue recognized during the first half of the fiscal year relating to early pay-offs on acquired loans and the associated purchase accounting marks, pay-off on a $3.3 million nonaccrual commercial loan in which all past due interest was collected, as well as overall higher rates on new loan originations due to rising interest rates.

Interest revenue on investment securities decreased $113,000 to $846,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2018 from $959,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease is related to the average balance of investment securities decreasing $24.2 million, or 24.0%, to $76.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018 from $100.8 million for the same period last year, while the average yield increased 31 basis points to 2.21% from 1.90%. The largest decrease in investment securities was in mortgage-backed securities, which decreased $20.0 million to $56.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018 from $76.5 million for the same period last year. The average balance of investment securities also decreased period-over-period by $4.2 million. The decrease in average investments is attributable to both normal principal pay downs related to mortgage-backed securities over the past twelve months, along with $11.6 million in securities that were sold between August and December 2017. One investment security, with a book value of $2.0 million, was purchased during the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $703,000, or 43.3%, to $2.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $1.6 million for the same period in fiscal 2018, due to the increase in the average cost of both interest-bearing deposits and borrowings. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 26 basis points from 0.78% for the six months ended September 30, 2017 to 0.97% for the six months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in average cost was partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased $4.8 million, or 1.3%, to $371.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018 from $376.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2017. Due to the increase in costs, the interest expense associated with interest-bearing deposits increased $465,000, or 35.0%, period-over-period.

For the six-month period ended September 30, 2018, average interest-bearing deposit balances, other than checking accounts, decreased for all types of deposits when compared to the same period a year ago. As interest rates have risen over the past year, the market competition for deposits, in particular time deposits and money market accounts, has gotten more competitive with respect to pricing. We have strategically decided not to price our deposits at the top of the market, unless through a promotional deposit product, or match competitor pricing in certain circumstances as a means to manage interest expense. Hamilton Bancorp continues to focus on generating lower cost, core deposits (which includes all deposits other than certificates of deposit) to support continued loan growth. The average balance of core interest-bearing deposits decreased $2.9 million, or 2.2%, to $131.7 million for the six-month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $134.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2017. The average balance of time deposits also decreased $1.9 million, or less than 1.0%, to $239.9 million compared to $241.8 for the same periods, respectively.

Noninterest-bearing deposits allow us to fund growth in interest-earning assets at minimal cost. Average noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $562,000, or 1.9%, to $29.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $29.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2017. Our cash management personnel and commercial loan officers remain focused in working with commercial clients to move their core deposit relationships to Hamilton Bank and provide lower cost of funds.

For the six-month period ended September 30, 2018, average borrowings were $57.4 million compared to an average balance of $39.2 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in borrowings is associated with funds needed to purchase several loan portfolios over the last half of fiscal 2018 and a declining deposit base. The borrowings consisted of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. At September 30, 2018, Hamilton Bank had $53.6 million in outstanding advances from the FHLB, a decrease of $6.0 million since June 30, 2018. The

##### Table of Contents

borrowings carried an average rate of 1.85% for the six months ended September 30, 2018; a 36 basis points increase from 1.49% for the same period a year ago. Borrowing from the FHLB in today’s low interest rate environment can be a more cost-effective means to obtain funds if deposits are not growing compared to selling investment securities that are earning a higher yield.

Average Balances, Interest and Yields. The following table presents information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest revenue from average interest-earning assets, the dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting annualized average yields and costs. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing interest revenue or interest expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented and have been annualized. Average balances have been calculated using average daily balances. No tax-equivalent adjustments were made. Nonaccrual loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2017. 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 changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses that are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level believed, to the best of management’s knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. There was $302,000 charged to the provision for loan losses for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to a provision for loan loss of $280,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2017. In the first half of fiscal 2019, the $302,000 provision for loan loss recorded is primarily attributable to $93,000 in net charge-offs experienced over this period and roughly $294,000 in additional reserves associated with the revaluation of our environmental factors (see Note 1 of the Financial Statements under Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further discussion), partially offset by a decline in loan balances; compared to the provision for the prior year comparable period, which was related to growth within the loan portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses was $3.0 million, or 49.8% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2018 compared to $2.5 million, or 41.9% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2017. The increase in the percentage is a result of the decrease in loans over this period, partially offset by a $200,000 increase in nonperforming loans. The $6.1 million in non-performing loans at September 30, 2018 primarily consisted of two commercial real estate relationships totaling $4.3 million. The first relationship has a recorded value of $3.1 million and was placed on nonaccrual in June 2018, while the second relationship has a book value of $1.2 million and has had $1.9 million in charge-offs over the past two years. Both relationships have been recorded at their net realizable fair value based upon recent appraisals. No additional charge-offs are anticipated with these relationships at this time; however, changes in property values and other circumstances may result in additional charge-offs at a later date.

During the six months ended September 30, 2018, loan charge-offs totaled $130,000 with recoveries of $37,000, compared to $25,000 in charge-offs and $21,000 in recoveries during the six months ended September 30, 2017. During fiscal year 2019, we expect that we will continue our emphasis in growing commercial real estate and commercial business loans, which have higher interest rates than one-to four-family mortgage loans, thus are generally considered to bear higher risk than one-to four-family mortgage loans and could contribute to higher loan loss provisions going forward.

Noninterest Revenue. Noninterest revenue increased $26,000, or 4.6%, to $587,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $561,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2017. The following table outlines the changes in noninterest revenue for the six-month periods.

|  | Six Months Ended September 30, |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Service charges associated with retail and commercial deposit products increased slightly during the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago. Management remains focused on growing core deposits, particularly checking accounts, which typically generate more service fee income. The average balance relating to overall checking accounts for the six months ended September 30, 2018 was $59.2 million compared to an average balance of $56.0 million at September 30, 2017, an increase of 5.7%, or $3.2 million. We continue to review and evaluate our fee structure to be more aligned with our market. Customers, however, have become more cost conscious of fees and better manage their deposit relationship with Hamilton Bank.

During the six months ended September 30, 2018, Hamilton Bancorp was able to enhance noninterest revenue by $26,000 relating to gains on loans sold to the secondary market. In the last quarter of fiscal 2017 and into fiscal 2018, Hamilton Bancorp purposely held in portfolio the majority of our residential loan originations to partially offset the increased run-off associated with this loan segment. Beginning in fiscal 2019, however, we again started to sell qualified residential loan originations into the secondary market as a means to generate noninterest revenue and diversify our income stream. In the prior year six-month period we also realized gains on the sale of investment securities of $10,000 compared to none for the six months ended September 30, 2018.

In addition to these gains, Hamilton Bancorp also experienced a $24,000 increase in other noninterest revenue that includes the collection of certain loan fees, merchant card services and other miscellaneous items. Loan fees and merchant card services each increased $3,000 period-over-period. Meanwhile, earnings on BOLI declined $18,000 due to a reduction in the cash surrender value of Hamilton Bancorp’s outstanding BOLI related to the pay-out of death benefits in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased $73,000 to $6.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $6.4 million the same period a year ago. The following table outlines the changes within noninterest expense for those periods.

|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |  |  | $ Change |  |  | % Change |
Salaries and benefits |  | $ | 3,741,180 |  |  | $ | 3,711,999 |  |  | $ | 29,181 |  |  |  | 0.8 |

Overall our operating expenses have remained relatively unchanged, despite decreased operating expenses in certain areas related to prior year expenses that were incurred, offset by increases in others due to operating as a larger financial institution. We have been able to manage a growing loan portfolio from an operational cost basis and continue to increase our interest revenue. This is reflected in the improvement of Hamilton Bancorp’s efficiency ratio which has improved from 82.0% for the six months ended September 30, 2017 to 77.3% for the six months ended September 30, 2018. Management remains committed to reducing operational expenses and achieving higher efficiencies.

Salaries and benefit expense remains our highest operational cost and increased by $29,000, or less than 1.0%, period-over-period. This modest increase is due to annual evaluations and respective salary increases and bonus accruals, partially offset by unfilled positions. Included in salaries and benefits for the six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, is $182,000 and $161,000 in expense, respectively, relating to prior equity awards granted to officers under Hamilton Bancorp’s Equity Incentive Plan. The equity awards provide for management to have a vested interest in the performance of Hamilton Bancorp and share in the benefit of an increase in stockholder value. Similarly, other operating expenses for the same periods include $70,000 in each of the comparable periods associated with equity awards granted to Directors.

Hamilton Bancorp realized an increase in operating expenses relating to data processing and deposit insurance premiums for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Data processing costs increased $55,000 for the comparable quarters due to annual cost increases, along with the introduction of new technology that has made banking easier for our customers, including products such as mobile banking and our on-line consumer loan application. FDIC insurance premiums have also increased $83,000 to $214,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $131,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2017. This increase is attributable to Hamilton Bancorp’s lower capital position that resulted from the establishment of a valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset at the end of March 2018. A financial institution’s FDIC insurance base is determined based upon an institutions average consolidated assets less tangible equity.

Offsetting the increases in noninterest expenses has been a $97,000 reduction in legal expenses and an $191,000 reduction in other professional services. Legal expense has declined because of higher costs incurred in the prior year associated with our charter conversion and consultation with counsel to advise on agreements associated with loan purchases and certain problem loans. Other professional services declined because of costs incurred in the prior year associated with payments under non-compete agreements that were a part of the Fraternity acquisition in May 2016. The terms and the payments under the non-compete agreements were fully satisfied in April 2018. In addition, in the second quarter of the prior year Hamilton Bancorp began to utilize the services of a financial consultant to assist Hamilton Bank in areas to generate more revenue. Those consulting services were utilized through March 2018.

Income Tax Expense. For the six months ended September 30, 2018, Hamilton Bancorp did not report any income tax expense on pre-tax income of $1.5 million compared to tax expense of $312,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2017 after pre-tax income of $1.1 million. There was no tax expense during the first half of fiscal 2019 due to the release of a portion of the valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets established in the prior fiscal year. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, at September 30, 2018, Hamilton Bancorp has assessed whether the deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized based on an evaluative process that considers all available positive and negative evidence. As part of this evaluative process, management considered the following sources of taxable income: 1.) taxable income in prior carryback years; 2.) the future reversals of taxable temporary differences; 3.) tax planning strategies; and 4.) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. In making a conclusion, management evaluated all the available positive and negative evidence impacting these sources of taxable income. The first three options are more quantifiable and verifiable; however, management has concluded they are not viable sources of taxable income. As such, the positive evidence that has been most heavily relied upon, but the most subjective, is future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. Based upon Hamilton Bancorp being in a three-year cumulative loss position, which creates negative evidence, and because this evidence is considered significant, management has concluded that there is more negative evidence than positive evidence and therefore, it is more likely than not that Hamilton Bancorp will be unable to generate sufficient taxable income in the foreseeable future to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets.

If, in the future, Hamilton Bancorp generates taxable income on a sustained basis sufficient to support the deferred tax assets, the need for a deferred tax valuation allowance could change, resulting in the reversal of all or a portion of the deferred tax asset valuation at that time. The establishment of a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets for financial reporting purposes does not affect how the net operating loss carryforwards may be utilized

on our subsequent income tax returns. The valuation allowance on Hamilton Bancorp’s net deferred tax assets decreased $361,000 to $5.4 million at September 30, 2018, from $5.8 million at March 30, 2018 due to book income of $1.5 million and adjustments for permanent and temporary book-tax differences. Income tax expense for the periods reported is based upon year-to-date results and is not reflective of annual earnings.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017

General. Net loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 was $6.0 million, or $1.90 per common share, compared to a net loss of $929,000, or $0.29 per common share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017. The loss in fiscal 2018 was a result of the increase in tax expense relating two separate events. The first event dealt with the passage of the Tax Cuts and Job Act (the “Tax Act”) that was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act amended the Internal Revenue Code to reduce income tax rates and modify policies, credits, and deductions for individuals and businesses. For businesses, the Tax Act reduced the federal corporate income tax rate from a maximum 35 percent to a flat 21 percent tax rate. As a result, our net deferred tax assets of $7.5 million at that time, which was based upon a 34 percent corporate tax rate, had to be re-evaluated to reflect the new tax rate of 21 percent. This non-cash adjustment was $2.3 million and is recorded through income tax expense. The second event occurred during our fourth quarter and included the establishment of a full valuation allowance on the remaining portion of our net deferred tax assets of $5.8 million. The valuation allowance determination was based upon the fact Hamilton Bancorp has experienced cumulative losses for three consecutive years.

Pre-tax income for fiscal 2018, however, was $2.0 million compared to a loss of $1.7 million for fiscal 2017; a period-over-period increase of $3.7 million. The increase in pre-tax income is attributable to a $602,000 increase in net interest income, a $1.8 million decrease in the provision for loan losses, a $942,000 increase in non-interest revenue, and a $326,000 decrease in non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $602,000, or 4.3%, to $14.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2018 compared to $13.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2017. The increase in net interest income was due to a $1.3 million increase in interest revenue, partially offset by a $716,000 increase in interest expense. The increase in interest revenue was due to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, particularly higher yielding loans, as well as an increase in average yield on interest-earning assets. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased $17.4 million, or 3.8%, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in fiscal 2017, while the average yield increased 14 basis points from 3.67% to 3.81% over that same period. The average balances increased period-over-period due in part to the acquisition of Fraternity, which occurred in May 2016, and the realization of having those earning assets for a full year in fiscal 2018. Over this same period, Hamilton Bank was also able to increase the average balance of higher interest-earning assets, particularly loans, both organically and through loan purchases.

Partially offsetting the increase in interest revenue was a $716,000 increase in interest expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was due to the growth in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, particularly higher yielding borrowings, as well as an increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $11.7 million, or 2.9%, for the fiscal 2018 year compared to the same period in fiscal 2017, while the average cost increased 15 basis points to 0.85% from 0.70%. The increase in interest-bearing liabilities was impacted by the growth in borrowings that were used to help in funding a growing loan portfolio and a decreasing deposit base. Despite the increase in interest expense, our net interest rate spread only decreased 1 basis point from 2.97% to 2.96% for the comparable periods.

Interest Revenue. Interest revenue increased $1.3 million, or 7.9% to $18.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2018, compared to $16.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2017. The increase resulted from increases in interest and fees on loans and interest revenue earned on investment securities, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from federal funds sold and other bank deposits.

Interest and fees on loans increased $1.3 million, or 8.5%, to $16.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, compared to $14.8 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in interest and fees on loans is due to a $47.9 million increase in the average balance of net loans from $314.5 million to $362.4 million period-over-period. The increase in average loans is attributable to having the loans acquired in the Fraternity

127

##### Table of Contents

acquisition for a full twelve months, as well as organic growth generated by our commercial lending area and strategic loan purchases. Partially offsetting the revenue derived from an increase in the average balance of loans is a 28-basis point decline in the average yield earned on loans from 4.72% for the year ended March 31, 2017 to 4.44% for the year ended March 31, 2018. The decline in yield is a result of the extended low interest rate environment and the competitive pressure relating to pricing.

Interest revenue on investment securities increased $120,000 to $1.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2018 from $1.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2017. The average balance of investment securities decreased by $1.2 million, or 4.6%, to $93.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2018 from $94.4 million for the same period last year, while the average yield increased 15 basis points to 1.99% from 1.84% for the same two periods. The largest decrease in investment securities was in mortgage-backed securities, which decreased $1.0 million to $70.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2018 from $71.4 million for the same period last year. The average balance of other investment securities remained relatively flat year-over-year, only decreasing $149,000 during this period. The decrease in average investments is attributable to funding both organic loans and loan purchases throughout the year and providing liquidity associated with a decreasing deposit base. The decline in average investments is partially offset by the securities acquired in the Fraternity acquisition, along with utilizing the excess cash acquired in the Fraternity acquisition to purchase new securities in the second half of fiscal 2017. Investment balances have been declining since that time due to the need to provide liquidity to fund loan growth and a declining deposit base.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $716,000, or 24.9%, to $3.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2018 compared to $2.9 million for the same period in fiscal 2017. The primary reason for this increase is due to the increase in the average balance and cost of borrowings, and to a lesser extent the increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of those same deposits. For the year ended March 31, 2018, average interest-bearing borrowings were $48.5 million compared to an average balance of $26.1 million for the same period a year ago. The borrowings consisted of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and have been utilized to help with funding a growing loan portfolio and a declining deposit base over fiscal 2018. At March 31, 2018, Hamilton Bank had $60.6 million in outstanding advances from the FHLB, including $13.0 million in borrowings assumed through the Fraternity and Fairmount acquisitions that will all mature prior to November 2018. Overall borrowings carried an average rate of 1.55% for the year ended March 31, 2018 compared to 1.04% for the year ended March 31, 2017. Borrowing from the FHLB can be a more cost-effective means to obtain funds if deposits are not growing compared to selling investment securities that are earning a higher yield.

The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased $10.7 million to $372.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2018 from $383.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2017. The average cost of deposits though increased from 0.68% to 0.76% for those same periods. We have begun to increase the rates on a portion of our deposit products and run various deposit promotions as the demand for deposits is becoming more competitive in the marketplace. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018 and last quarter of fiscal 2017, we began to run a money market promotion with a 6-month promotional rate as a means to attract core deposits. As a result, the average cost associated with money market accounts increased from 0.37% to 0.53% for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

For the year ended March 31, 2018, the average interest-bearing deposit balances increased or declined slightly for all types of deposits, except certificates of deposits, when compared to the same period last year. These increases are a result of the Fraternity acquisition, as well as our cash management efforts as it relates to our commercial customers and promotional efforts to raise funds for new loan growth. We remain focused on changing the mix of our deposit portfolio by maintaining our maturing certificates of deposits and growing lower cost core deposits, including savings, interest-bearing checking and money market accounts. The average balance of core interest-bearing deposits increased $6.6 million, or 5.4%, to $130.1 million for fiscal 2018 compared to $123.4 million for fiscal 2017. The average balance of time deposits, however, decreased $17.4 million, or 6.7%, to $242.3 million for fiscal 2018 compared to $259.7 million for fiscal 2017. The decrease in time deposits is related to the competitive interest rate market, as well as the decrease in our customer base that is attributable to an aging demographic. To compensate for this decline, Hamilton Bancorp entered into a contract and began utilizing a certificate of deposit subscription service in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. As a result, we have been able to obtain $13.8 million in certificate of deposits in the second half of fiscal 2018 through this service. The cost of these deposits is more expensive than traditional certificates of deposit because of the ability to provide the funding needed in a timely manner, but can be less costly than borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank or other source.

128

##### Table of Contents

We will continue to utilize this service as a funding source when other less costly means are not able to meet our funding requirements.

Noninterest-bearing deposits allow us to fund growth in interest-earning assets at the lowest minimal cost. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $5.2 million, or 21.7%, to $29.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2018, compared to $24.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2017. This increase resulted from the efforts of our cash management personnel and commercial loan officers working with commercial clients to move their deposit relationship to Hamilton Bank and the acquisition of Fraternity.

Average Balances and Yields. The following table presents information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest revenue from average interest-earning assets, the dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting annualized average yields and costs. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing interest revenue or interest expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Average balances have been calculated using average daily balances. No tax-equivalent adjustments were made. Nonaccrual loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the year ended March 31, 2018 compared to the year ended March 31, 2017. 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 changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses that are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level believed, to the best of management’s knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. There was $1.6 million charged to the provision for loan losses for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018 compared to a provision for loan losses of $3.4 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017. Hamilton Bancorp recorded a lower provision during fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017 because of much lower net charge-offs that totaled $948,000 and $2.9 million, respectively. The more significant charge-offs for fiscal 2018 included $379,000 associated with our commercial lease portfolio, $244,000 relating to one commercial real estate relationship that has been a continued problem asset with prior charge-offs, and $262,000 associated with one residential investor relationship. The remaining balance of the provision for loan losses for fiscal 2018 is primarily related to the overall growth within the loan portfolio generated organically and through various loan purchases throughout the fiscal year.

The allowance for loan losses was $2.8 million, or 39.4% of non-performing loans at March 31, 2018 compared to $2.2 million, or 94.5% of non-performing loans at March 31, 2017. The decrease in the percentage is a result of a $4.8 million increase in non-performing loans as compared to the period ending March 31, 2017. The increase in non-performing loans is primarily due to one commercial real estate relationship with a book value of $3.2 million that was placed on nonaccrual in the second quarter and a group of residential investor loans totaling $600 thousand that were placed on nonaccrual at the end of the third quarter. Approximately $262 thousand has been charged-off in relation to the residential investor loans, while there was no impairment associated with the commercial real estate loan based upon the most recent collateral value of the property. In addition, there is approximately $1.2 million in loans that are 90 days past due and accruing and classified as non-performing loans. These loans continue to make payments and we are recognizing the income, however, they have reached their maturity and are in the process of being extended or renewed. Our credit department is diligently working to obtain the necessary information from the borrower that is needed to complete this process. If these loan items were excluded, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans at March 31, 2018 would be 86.2%.

During the year ended March 31, 2018, loan charge offs totaled $975,000 with recoveries of $27,000, compared to $3.0 million in charge offs and $51,000 in recoveries during the year ended March 31, 2017. The significant charge-offs in the prior year were related to two specific events, including one commercial real estate relationship that resulted in $1.1 million in charge-offs and the sale of a pool of residential investor loans that resulted in $1.6 million in charge-offs. During fiscal year 2018 and into fiscal 2019, we expect that we will continue our emphasis in growing commercial real estate and commercial business loans, which have higher interest rates than one-to-four family mortgage loans, but are generally considered to bear higher risk than one-to four-family mortgage loans. Such growth could contribute to higher provisions going forward.

Noninterest Revenue. Noninterest revenue decreased $942,000, or 89.3%, to $2.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2018 compared to $1.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2017. The following table outlines the changes in components of noninterest revenue for the twelve-month periods.

|  | Years Ended March 31, |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |  |  | $ Change |  |  | % Change |
Service charges |  | $ | 459,688 |  |  | $ | 420,234 |  |  | $ | 39,454 |  |  |  | 9.4 |
(Loss) gain on sale of investment securities |  |  | (2,354 | ) |  |  | 23,720 |  |  |  | (26,074 | ) |  |  | (109.9 | )
Gain on sale of loans held for sale |  |  | — |  |  |  | 23,087 |  |  |  | (23,087 | ) |  |  | (100.0 | )
Gain (loss) on sale of property and equipment |  |  | 97,604 |  |  |  | (5,046 | ) |  |  | 102,650 |  |  |  | (2,034.3 | )
Earnings on bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) |  |  | 484,030 |  |  |  | 485,400 |  |  |  | (1,370 | ) |  |  | (0.3 | )
Earnings on death benefit from BOLI |  |  | 834,610 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 834,610 |  |  |  | N/A |
Other fees and commissions |  |  | 122,770 |  |  |  | 107,152 |  |  |  | 15,618 |  |  |  | 14.6 |
Total noninterest revenue |  | $ | 1,996,348 |  |  | $ | 1,054,547 |  |  | $ | 941,801 |  |  |  | 89.3 |

Noninterest revenue was impacted during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 by increases in service charges, gain on sale of property and equipment, and earnings on death benefit from BOLI, partially offset by decreases in gain on sale of investments and loans held for sale.

Service charges associated with retail and commercial deposit products increased $39,000, or 9.4% during the twelve months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago due to a $13.0 million increase in our average checking accounts period-over-period. Management is continually focused on growing core deposits, particularly checking accounts, which typically generate more service fee income. We continue to review and evaluate our retail fee structure on transactional accounts. Customers, however, have become more cost conscious of fees and better manage their deposit relationship with Hamilton Bank.

The $98,000 gain on sale of property and equipment for fiscal 2018 is related to the December 2017 sale of our Pigtown branch in Baltimore City at a gain of $213,000, net of various furniture and equipment that was associated with the property that was also disposed, partially offset by $115,000 loss pertaining to the write-down or disposal of leasehold improvements associated with our former or legacy Cockeysville branch. The Pigtown branch was relocated within the same community, but to a smaller, more efficient space that will provide operational cost savings.

Hamilton Bancorp received gross proceeds of approximately $2.1 million in relation to death benefits under our BOLI policies due to the sudden and unexpected passing of an employee during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. After netting out $1.3 million associated with the cash surrender value of the policies, Hamilton Bancorp was able to recognize non-interest revenue of $835,000. The normal earnings on BOLI remained relatively flat year-over-year despite an increase in average balances associated with the Fraternity acquisition because of the offsetting decrease in the rate earned on the outstanding BOLI policies, else revenue would have been higher. The revenue associated with both the death benefits and normal earnings are currently nontaxable for federal and state income tax purposes.

Offsetting the increases in noninterest revenue for fiscal 2018 was a decrease in gain on the sale of loans held for sale. Gain on sale of loans held for sale represents revenue earned on loans sold in the secondary market at a premium. Over the past several years, we typically sold our newly originated residential mortgage loans in the secondary market to better manage interest rate risk in a rising rate environment. During the second half of fiscal 2017 and throughout fiscal 2018, however, Hamilton Bancorp began to hold in portfolio our residential loan originations to partially offset the increased run-off associated with this loan segment. Consequently, there were no loans sold during the year ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period last year in which several loans were sold at a gain of $23,000. We do plan to sell residential mortgage loans again beginning in fiscal 2019.

Other fees and commissions include loan fees charged to customers, merchant credit card fees, and other smaller fees. The increase with respect to the twelve months ended March 31, 2018 compared to twelve months ended March 31, 2017, is primarily related to merchant credit services and a $35,000 charge in the prior year relating to the disposal of an equity position in a limited liability company that assisted us with the sale of residential mortgages into the secondary market. Loan fees include various charges to customers for loan applications, processing, and/or extensions. Loan fees for fiscal 2018 declined $46,000 to $56,000, compared to $100,000 for fiscal 2017.

Gains on investment securities are also reported as noninterest revenue. During fiscal 2018 we sold investment securities with a book value of $11.6 million and recognized a loss of $2,000 for the year ended March 31, 2018. For the year ended March 31, 2017, investment securities with a book value of $4.3 million were sold and a gain of $24,000 was recognized.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased $326,000, or 2.5%, to $12.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2018 compared to $13.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2017. The following table outlines the changes in noninterest expense for those periods.

|  | Years Ended 31, |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |  |  | $ Change |  |  | % Change |
Salaries and benefits |  | $ | 7,268,507 |  |  | $ | 6,756,044 |  |  | $ | 512,463 |  |  |  | 7.6 |
Occupancy |  |  | 1,045,589 |  |  |  | 984,767 |  |  |  | 60,822 |  |  |  | 6.2 |
Advertising |  |  | 86,865 |  |  |  | 122,093 |  |  |  | (35,228 | ) |  |  | (28.9 | )
Furniture and equipment |  |  | 343,624 |  |  |  | 377,232 |  |  |  | (33,608 | ) |  |  | (8.9 | )
Data processing |  |  | 716,458 |  |  |  | 777,554 |  |  |  | (61,096 | ) |  |  | (7.9 | )
Legal services |  |  | 491,900 |  |  |  | 291,550 |  |  |  | 200,350 |  |  |  | 68.7 |
Other professional services |  |  | 851,660 |  |  |  | 1,046,450 |  |  |  | (194,790 | ) |  |  | (18.6 | )
Merger related expenses |  |  | — |  |  |  | 219,417 |  |  |  | (219,417 | ) |  |  | (100.0 | )
Branch consolidation expense |  |  | — |  |  |  | 494,977 |  |  |  | (494,977 | ) |  |  | (100.0 | )
Deposit insurance premiums |  |  | 324,325 |  |  |  | 318,132 |  |  |  | 6,193 |  |  |  | 1.9 |
Foreclosed real estate expense and losses |  |  | 44,197 |  |  |  | 7,468 |  |  |  | 36,729 |  |  |  | 491.8 |
Other operating |  |  | 1,737,727 |  |  |  | 1,841,144 |  |  |  | (103,417 | ) |  |  | (5.6 | )
Total noninterest expense |  | $ | 12,910,852 |  |  | $ | 13,236,828 |  |  | $ | (325,976 | ) |  |  | (2.5 | )

The decline in noninterest expense is primarily the result of non-recurring costs incurred in the prior year period ended March 31, 2017, including $219,000 in merger related expenses associated with the completion of our most recent acquisition of Fraternity and $437,000 in costs relating to the closing of one of our branch locations due to branch overlap from that same acquisition. Merger related expenses include fees paid to attorneys, investment bankers and accountants, data conversion, as well as other related costs. Excluding the acquisition and branch consolidation expense, overall operating expenses for the comparative periods has increased slightly as a result of a growing loan portfolio and revenue base. The elimination of acquisition related costs and the economies of scale achieved through those same acquisitions is reflected in the improvement of our efficiency ratio from 83.9% for the year ended March 31, 2017 to 78.5% for the year ended March 31, 2018. This improvement is also in part due to the income realized in the current year with respect to the BOLI proceeds. We are realizing the benefit of operating as a larger financial institution and the ability to offset expenses against greater revenue.

Certain noninterest expenses, including furniture and equipment, data processing, and other operating expenses, declined as a result of management’s continued focus on reducing costs where applicable. Some of these reductions have been obtained through the review or negotiation of vendor contracts, analysis of alternative sources, and more efficient means. Advertising expense decreased because we hired a full-time marketing director versus outsourcing to a third-party vendor. Federal deposit insurance premiums were lower due to a decrease in the average rate assessed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the government agency that insures deposits, while other professional services decreased in part due to the end of our contractual obligation under a consulting and non-compete agreement with one of the former Fraternity executives.

The largest increase in noninterest expenses for the twelve-month period-over-period was in salaries and benefits, which increased $512,000. During the year ended March 31, 2018, Hamilton Bancorp made strategic new hires that are focused on branch efficiency and new products. In addition, annual increases were given and bonuses awarded in fiscal 2018 that were not awarded in fiscal 2107. Also included in salaries and benefits for fiscal 2018 and 2017, is $322,000 and $317,000 in expense, respectively, relating to equity awards granted to officers under Hamilton Bancorp’s Equity Incentive Plan. The equity awards provide for management to have an interest in the performance of Hamilton Bancorp and share in the benefit of an increase in stockholder value. Similarly, other operating expenses for the same periods include $139,000 and $127,000 in expense, respectively, associated with equity awards granted to directors.

Legal expense for the twelve months ended March 31, 2018 increased over the same period a year ago. The increase in legal costs is due in part to management’s engagement of counsel to assist with our charter conversion from a federal savings bank to a Maryland commercial bank. The charter conversion was approved and effective December 21, 2017. The charter conversion should reduce regulatory costs going forward. In addition, counsel was sought to assist with compiling and reviewing agreements associated with loan portfolio purchases throughout the year, as well as advise on the relocation of our Ellicott City and Pigtown branches and other compliance issues. Counsel also continues to assist with the collection and foreclosure process associated with problem loans, as well as consult on how to proceed with certain borrowers.

The increase in occupancy expense is primarily related to the relocation of our Ellicott City branch within the same geographic area of Howard County during the second quarter of fiscal 2018. Due to the timing and ability to move into the new location, Hamilton Bank had to pay rent expense on both the current and new property for a one-month period. In addition, there were costs incurred in the period associated with the relocation that were not capitalized. The new branch location in Ellicott City opened in July 2017. Subsequently, in March 2018 we also relocated our Pigtown branch located in Baltimore City to a much smaller space located on the same block. As with Ellicott City, there were costs incurred that related to the relocation that were not capitalized. Both relocations were to smaller, more efficient spaces that will provide operational cost savings.

Foreclosed real estate expense also increased year-over-year due to a $32,000 write-down of one of Hamilton Bank’s foreclosed real estate properties during the third quarter. This write-down was based upon a new appraisal obtained on the property. The remainder of foreclosed real estate expense, or $5,000 increase, is associated with the property taxes paid on that same property.

Income Tax Expense. We recorded tax expense of $8.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2018 after pre-tax income of $2.0 million, compared to a tax benefit of $758,000 for the year ended March 31, 2017 after a pre-tax loss of $1.7 million. The effective income tax rate for the year ending March 31, 2018 was 402.0% compared to a negative effective tax rate of 44.9% for the year ending March 31, 2017. In fiscal 2018 the higher tax expense was a result of an adjustment associated with the Tax Act and the establishment of a valuation allowance relating to Hamilton Bancorp’s net deferred tax assets and, to a lesser extent, tax expense associated with Hamilton Bancorp’s pre-tax income of $2.0 million. The fiscal 2017 tax benefit was due to the pre-tax loss that was recorded along with nontaxable income associated with bank-owned life insurance and certain tax-exempt municipal securities.

At March 31, 2018, Hamilton Bancorp did not report any net deferred tax asset compared to $8.0 million at March 31, 2017. The change is primarily related to the establishment of a net deferred tax asset valuation allowance and an adjustment that resulted from the passage of the Tax Act. The Tax Act, which was signed into law on December 22, 2017, amended the Internal Revenue Code to reduce income tax rates and modify policies, credits, and deductions for individuals and businesses. For businesses, the Tax Act reduces the federal corporate income tax rate from a maximum 35 percent to a flat 21 percent tax rate. As a result, our net deferred tax assets of $7.5 million at that time, which were based upon a 34 percent corporate tax rate, had to be re-evaluated to reflect the new tax rate of 21 percent. This non-cash adjustment was $2.3 million and was recorded through income tax expense. Based on the information available and our current interpretation of the Tax Act, Hamilton Bancorp has made reasonable estimates of the impact from the reduction in the corporate tax rate on the re-measurement of applicable deferred tax assets and liabilities. However, certain deferred tax assets and liabilities will continue to be evaluated in the context of the Tax Act through the date of the filing of our March 31, 2018 federal income tax return, and may change as a result of evolving management interpretations, elections, and assumptions, as well as new guidance that may be issued by the Internal Revenue Service. Management expects to complete its analysis within the measurement period in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 118.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, at March 31, 2018, Hamilton Bancorp assessed whether the deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized based on an evaluative process that considers all available positive and negative evidence. As part of this evaluative process, management considered the following sources of taxable income: 1.) taxable income in prior carryback

134

##### Table of Contents

years; 2.) the future reversals of taxable temporary differences; 3.) tax planning strategies; and 4.) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. In making a conclusion, management evaluated all the available positive and negative evidence impacting these sources of taxable income. The first three options are more quantifiable and verifiable; however, management concluded they were not viable sources of taxable income. As such, the positive evidence that was most heavily relied upon, but the most subjective, was future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. Hamilton Bancorp is in a three-year cumulative loss position which creates negative evidence and because this evidence is considered significant, management concluded that there was more negative evidence than positive evidence and therefore, it is more likely than not that Hamilton Bancorp will be unable to generate sufficient taxable income in the foreseeable future to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets. Thus, a full valuation allowance of $5.8 million on all the net deferred tax assets was established at March 31, 2018. The establishment of a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets for financial reporting purposes does not affect how the net operating loss carryforwards may be utilized on our subsequent income tax returns.

Risk Management

Managing risk is an essential part of successfully operating a financial institution. We have a comprehensive Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program in place that addresses risks within Hamilton Bancorp. The ERM program and the associated risks are updated and reviewed quarterly and presented to the Risk Committee which has oversight of the program. Risks are rated compared to Hamilton Bancorp’s risk appetite and action plans are developed by management for those risks outside of the board established parameters. Once the Risk Committee approves the ERM program, the ERM program is presented to the full board. Our most significant types of risk are economic risk, regulatory risk, and compliance risk.

Our three most prominent forms of economic risk are credit risk, interest rate risk and market risk. Our primary credit risk is the risk of defaults in our loan portfolio that result from the inability or unwillingness of borrowers to make contractually required payments. To a lesser extent, we also have credit risk related to the risk of defaults in our investment securities portfolio. Interest rate risk is the potential reduction of interest income or an increase interest expense because of changes in interest rates. Market risk arises from fluctuations in interest rates that may result in changes in the values of financial instruments, such as available-for-sale securities that are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis.

Regulatory and compliance risk involves our ability to effectively adapt to, and comply with, changes in the regulatory environment for financial institutions. We are subject to the regulations of various government agencies. These regulations may change significantly from period to period. We also undergo periodic examinations by regulatory agencies that may subject us to further changes with respect to asset valuations and classifications, amounts required for the allowance for loan losses, and operating restrictions resulting from the regulators’ judgment based on information available to them at the time of their examination.

Other risks that we face are operational risks, liquidity risk and reputation risk. Operational risks include risks related to fraud, processing errors, technology and disaster recovery. Liquidity risk is the possible inability to fund obligations to depositors, lenders or borrowers due to unforeseen circumstances. Reputation risk is the risk that negative publicity or press, whether true or not, could cause a decline in our customer base or revenue.

Credit Risk Management

Our strategy for credit risk management focuses on having well-defined credit policies and uniform underwriting criteria and providing prompt attention to potential problem loans. Our loan approval process is described in Item 1. “Business”, under the heading “Lending Activities—Loan Approval Procedures and Authority”.

We have a loan monitoring system in place with dedicated staff that ensures all required loan information and documentation is obtained at the time a loan is originated and that such information is updated as required by our underwriting policies. This loan monitoring system, which tracks loans originated by Hamilton Bank, as well as loan participations and purchased loans, is integrated with our general ledger system, which allows management to monitor loan payment history and changes in loan status on a real-time basis. We have established a formal allowance for loan loss and loan delinquency committee to address non-performing and delinquent loans. This committee currently meets on a monthly basis. We also have a Special Assets manager to oversee problem credits.

Collection Procedures. When a residential mortgage borrower fails to make required payments on a loan, we take a number of steps to induce the borrower to cure the delinquency and restore the loan to current status. With respect to residential real estate loans, we generally send a written notice of non-payment to the borrower 15 days after a loan is first past due. When a loan reaches 60 days past due a “Notice of Intent” to foreclose letter is prepared and sent to the borrower. And finally, when a loan becomes 90 days past due, the loan is turned over to our attorneys to ensure that further collection activities are conducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. All residential mortgage loans past due 90 days are put on non-accrual and reported to the board of directors monthly. If our attorneys do not receive a response from the borrower, or if the terms of any payment plan established are not followed, then foreclosure proceedings will be implemented. Management submits an Asset Classification Report detailing risk ratings and changes to risk ratings to the board of directors on a monthly basis.

With respect to home equity loans and lines of credit, a complete listing of all delinquent accounts is given to senior management for evaluation on a monthly basis. The data center produces and sends late charge notifications to customers that alert customers of their payment status. If the account remains past due when the next late charge notice is produced, a collection letter is sent requiring delinquent accounts to be brought current within 10 days. Failure to comply or respond to collection efforts will result in the loan being turned over to our attorneys for collection.

Commercial loan officers are responsible for the prompt follow up with borrowers who become delinquent on commercial loans. Officers determine the cause of the delinquency and work with the borrower to institute a short-term plan to eliminate the delinquency. Commercial loans that become over 30 days delinquent are reported to the Chief Lending Officer for collection. If no reasonable plan to cure a delinquency over 60-90 days is reached, Hamilton Bank will initiate legal action, repossession, foreclosure, non-accrual or charge-off. When a commercial loan becomes 75 days delinquent, the Special Asset Officer is required to re-verify all documentation, including adequate insurance coverage. Commercial loans 90 days delinquent are generally placed on non-accrual and evaluated for impairment to determine if charge-off is necessary. All loans over 90 days delinquent are reported to the board of directors monthly. All charged-off loans and subsequent recoveries are reported in aggregate on a monthly basis to the appropriate members of senior management and the Board of Directors. Prior to the extension of non-accrual status beyond six months, a request for extension must be properly executed with appropriate approval signed by the Credit Committee. At the time the loan is placed in non-accrual, the accrued, but unpaid interest is reversed against the loan account in accordance with Hamilton Bank’s non-accrual policy. A loan may not be removed from non-accrual status until the loan is paid current or, under a modification agreement, an adequate period of time has passed in which the borrower has demonstrated the ability to make payments and their cash flow supports the payment going forward. At this point, management will determine whether or not to return the loan to accrual status.

Analysis of Nonperforming, Delinquent and Classified Assets. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when they are 90 days past due based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status 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 nonaccrual status are reversed against interest revenue. The interest on nonaccrual loans is accounted for on the cash basis method, until the loans qualify for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. For certain nonaccrual loans, interest payments received are applied to the principal balance of the loan.

Nonaccrual loans decreased to $5.7 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $6.0 million at March 31, 2018. During the first six months of fiscal 2019, nonaccrual loans reached a high of $8.9 million due to the addition of one commercial real estate relationship at the end of the first quarter with a recorded value of $3.1 million. The borrower continues to make timely payments under the original terms of that loan and has never been delinquent; however, review of their financial information indicates they do not have sufficient cash flow to service the debt thus we have placed it on nonaccrual status. To date there is no impairment associated with this relationship based upon the most recently obtained appraised value. In July 2018, another commercial real estate loan that was already on nonaccrual, with a recorded value of $3.3 million, was resolved and paid-off with no loss to Hamilton Bank. Proceeds from the pay-off included payment of principal, past due interest and all legal and other expenses incurred. The net of these two loans are primarily responsible for the $219,000 decrease in nonaccrual loans from March 31, 2018 to September 30, 2018.

As of September 30, 2018, there are two commercial real estate relationships totaling $4.4 million that are a part of the $5.7 million in nonaccrual loans, including the one relationship that was added in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 that was previously discussed. Both relationships have been reviewed for impairment and recorded at their fair value based upon recent appraisals, one of which has incurred $1.9 million in write-downs through charge-offs over the past two years. Management continues to actively explore options and work with the borrowers to obtain the best outcome for Hamilton Bank, which may or may not result in new or additional write-downs.

There were $167,000 in nonaccrual commercial business loans at September 30, 2018 compared to $165,000 at March 31, 2018. The recorded book balance of $167,000 in loans is primarily comprised of four commercial lease loans to different borrowers with a combined contractual balance of $613,000 and charge-offs totaling $454,000. The purpose of the loans was to provide funding to purchase medical equipment related to cosmetic surgery. Based upon the inability to generate sufficient revenue, the borrowers stopped making payments on the leases or asked for the equipment to be repossessed. All four loans are fully guaranteed by the respective borrowers.

The remaining balance of nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2018 consisted of $702,000 in one-to four-family residential mortgage loans, including two loans with a book balance of $275,000 that were acquired loans, and $421,000 in residential investor loans. The majority of the residential investor loans were acquired in the Fairmount acquisition.

Included in nonperforming assets are accruing loans delinquent more than 90 days. These loans represent loans that are on accrual status and making payments, however, such loans are 90 days past their contractual maturity date, and therefore reported as nonperforming. At March 31, 2018, these loan balances were elevated as they related to several borrowing relationships that are comprised of many smaller investor (residential non-owner occupied) loans that matured at the same time. The decline over the first half of fiscal 2019 is a result of Hamilton Bank’s credit department working diligently to obtain the necessary financial information from these borrowers so that these loans can either be renewed or extended accordingly.

Gross interest income that would have been recorded during the six months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended March 31, 2018 had our non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms was $277,000 and $394,000, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”). At September 30, 2018, Hamilton Bank had a total of $3.3 million in TDRs, including 16 one-to-four family residential real estate loans totaling $1.5 million, two commercial real estate loans totaling $1.2 million, and one commercial business loan equaling $602,000. Roughly $1.2 million of the $1.5 million in TDRs pertaining to one-to-four family residential real estate loans was comprised of two loans performing in accordance with their modified terms as of September 30, 2018. The remainder was comprised of 14 one-to-four family residential real estate loans, totaling $321,000, including $231,000 that were on non-accrual.

The two commercial real estate loans totaling $1.2 million became TDRs at the end of the second fiscal quarter of 2015 and are currently on non-accrual. These are the same loans discussed earlier under the commercial real estate non-performing loans. The loans were placed on non-accrual in October 2015. There were charge-offs totaling $244,000 during the year ended March 31, 2018 and no charge-offs recorded dureing the six months ended September 30, 2018.

The one commercial business loan that is a TDR totals $602,000 and is performing as agreed under its modified terms. This particular loan was on non-accrual when it was originally modified. The borrower has continued to make payments and the loan has been on accrual status now for over three years.

Delinquencies 60-89 days past due increased $3.3 million to $3.8 million at September 30, 2018 from $470,000 at March 31, 2018. This increase is attributable to an increase in delinquencies associated with commercial real estate and one-to four-family residential mortgage loans over this period. Commercial real estate delinquencies increased $2.9 million from $135,000 at March 31, 2018 to $3.1 million at September 30, 2018 because of one commercial relationship in which the borrower’s loans are 61 days past maturity. The borrower is having cashflow issues and as a result we placed the loan relationship on nonaccrual. One-to four-family residential loan delinquencies increased $380,000 from $307,000 at March 31, 2018 to $687,000 at September 30, 2018, including one loan with a recorded balance of $557,000. Hamilton Bank is monitoring the delinquent loans closely and working with the borrowers to develop a payment plan to make the loans current again. If the borrowers are unable to bring these loans current or re-pay or re-finance the respective loans, there could be future charge-offs associated with these loans based upon collateral values.

Foreclosed real estate at September 30, 2018 increased $130,000 from $458,000 at March 31, 2018 to $588,000 at September 30, 2018 and consisted of six properties. One of the six properties consist of semi-developed land with a fair value of $411,000. The property is listed for sale and is participated with another financial institution, with Hamilton being the lead lender. The remaining five properties totaling $177,000 are comprised of one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, including one property with a value of $130,000 that was added during the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The remaining four properties are all participations in which Hamilton owns less than 15% of and is not the lead lender.

Classified Assets. Federal regulations require that each insured financial institution classify its assets on a regular basis. In addition, in connection with examinations of insured institutions, federal examiners have authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, classify them. There are three classifications for problem assets: “substandard,” “doubtful” and “loss”. Each is defined as follows:

Substandard - A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the collection or liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Hamilton Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. This will be the measurement for determining if a loan is impaired. Borrowers may exhibit recent or unexpected unprofitable operations, an inadequate debt service coverage ratio, or marginal liquidity and capitalization. These loans require more intense supervision by Bank management.

Doubtful - A doubtful loan has all the weaknesses inherent as a substandard loan with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. A loan classified as doubtful exhibits loss potential. However, there is still sufficient reason to permit the loan to remain on the books. A doubtful classification could reflect the deterioration of the primary source of repayment and serious doubt exists as to the quality of the secondary source of repayment.

Doubtful classifications should be used only when a distinct and known possibility of loss exists. When identified, adequate loss should be recorded for the specific assets. The entire asset should not be classified as doubtful if a partial recovery is expected, such as liquidation of the collateral or the probability of a private mortgage insurance payment is likely.

Loss - Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectable and of such little value that their continuance as loans is unjustified. A loss classification does not mean a loan has absolutely no value; partial recoveries may be received in the future. When loans or portions of a loan are considered a loss, it will be the policy of Hamilton Bank to write-off the amount designated as a loss. Recoveries will be treated as additions to the allowance for loan losses.

Another category, designated “special mention”, may also be established and maintained for assets which do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification as substandard, doubtful or loss. If a classified asset is deemed to be impaired with measurement of loss, Hamilton Bank will establish a charge-off of the loan pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 310, “Receivables.”

The following table sets forth information regarding classified assets and special mention assets at the dates indicated.

At September 30, 2018, substandard assets consisted of five commercial real estate loans totaling $4.4 million, including two sets of two loans that are to the same borrowers, and five commercial business loan totaling $167,000. At that same date, there were 23 residential mortgage loans totaling $1.4 million that were classified as substandard, along with 17 nonowner-occupied residential investor loans totaling $558,000. The majority of the investor loans were acquired in the Fairmount transaction. Finally, there was one home equity loans totaling $7,000 and one mobile home loan equaling $31,000 that were also classified as substandard.

At September 30, 2018, there are no loans classified as doubtful.

At September 30, 2018, special mention loans consisted of thirteen one-to-four family mortgage loans totaling $3.3 million and five loans equaling $280,000 that are nonowner-occupied residential investor loans. Also included in special mention loans are three home equity loans totaling $138,000, along with one auto loan for $11,000.

Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Loan Losses. We maintain the allowance through a provision for loan losses that we charge to income. We charge losses on loans against the allowance for loan losses when we believe the collection of loan principal is unlikely. Recoveries on loans charged-off are restored to the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed, to the best of management’s knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. Consideration is given to historical losses in conjunction with a variety of other factors including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal loan reviews and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change. We evaluate our allowance for loan losses, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis. Prior to September 30, 2018, we reviewed both a 36 and 48 month look back period individually for net charge-offs to develop a range in which the allowance for loan losses should be within. The range has grown smaller over the past year to a point where the difference in the two calculations of the allowance for loan loss is deemed immaterial. As a result, and for efficiency purposes, we began to only utilize a historical charge-off period of 48 months in determining the necessary allowance for loan losses. We believe, although similar in amount, that a 48-month period is more representative of our charge-off history. This period may change in the future depending on the performance of the loan portfolio. In addition, we also adjusted the environmental factors of the legacy and acquired loan portfolios so that they are not the same for each loan portfolio going forward. The

environmental factors for each acquired loan portfolio and the legacy loan portfolio will be evaluated on their own merits so as to stand on their own characteristics. These changes at September 30, 2018 resulted in additional provisions of $294,000 and were primarily related to the acquired loan portfolios and the adjustment of their environmental factors. We will continue to monitor all items involved in the allowance calculation closely. Additional information on our methodology for calculating the allowance for loan losses is described above under “—Critical Accounting Policies—Allowance for Loan Losses.”

In addition, the regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination and review process, periodically review our loan portfolios and the related allowance for loan losses. Regulatory agencies may require us to increase the allowance for loan losses based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations.

Hamilton Bank recorded a $302,000 provision for loan loss during the first six months of fiscal 2019 compared to a $280,000 provision for loan loss for the same period a year ago. The provision for loan loss for the six months ended September 30, 2018 was a result of $93,000 in net charge-offs and roughly $294,000 in additional reserves associated with the revaluation of our environmental factors (see Note 1 of the Financial Statements under Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further discussion), partially offset by a decline in loan balances; compared to prior year provisions which were primarily related to growth within the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2018 totaled $3.0 million, or 0.81% of gross loans, compared to the same $2.8 million, or 0.73% of gross loans, at March 31, 2018. The change in percentage was due to in part to both the decrease in overall loan balances and the increase in the allowance for loan losses itself. This overall percentage remains relatively low compared to peers as a result of our acquired loan portfolios. Loans acquired in an acquisition are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan and lease losses. We continue to monitor and manage the acquired loan portfolio to determine if additional provisions are necessary in relation to the estimated fair value placed on those loans at acquisition date as determined by management.

The activity in the allowance for loan losses for the six-month period ended September 30, 2018 includes $130,000 in charge-offs, offset by $37,000 in recoveries and a $302,000 provision for loan losses. We currently review the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and are proactively managing problem assets. Based upon our analysis, we believe this allowance appropriately reflects the inherent risk of loss in our loan portfolio at September 30, 2018. We estimate the allowance for loan losses based upon a four-year charge-off history and certain environmental factors.

We recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2018 compared to a provision for loan losses of $3.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2017. The allowance for loan losses was $2.8 million, or 0.73% of total loans, at March 31, 2018, compared to $2.2 million, or 0.65% of total loans, at March 31, 2017. The percentage of allowance for loan losses to total loans increased because of additional reserves that were recorded in conjunction with the overall growth of the loan portfolio and provisions associated with charge-offs that were experienced.

Our non-performing loans increased by $4.8 million to $7.2 million at March 31, 2018 from $2.3 million at March 31, 2017. A large portion of the increase is related to one commercial real estate loan, with a book value of $3.2 million that was placed on non-accrual during the second quarter of fiscal 2018, along with an increase of $1.2 million in investor loans that are 90 days past due and still accruing. During the year ended March 31, 2018, net loan charge-offs decreased to $948,000 compared to $2.9 million in fiscal 2017. The decline is in large part due to certain charge-offs that were taken in the prior year, including $1.1 million in charge-offs relating to one commercial real estate relationship and another $1.6 million in charge-offs associated with a group of investor loans that were re-classed as held-for-sale and subsequently sold. In fiscal 2018, we recorded net charge-offs of $244,000 relating to the same commercial real estate relationship noted in the prior year, $315,000 in residential investor loans that was primarily associated with one relationship, and $379,000 in charge-offs associated with three commercial lease loans. During fiscal 2018, our allowance for loan losses of $2.8 million, increased $627,000 compared to the prior year. This increase is associated with the growth in the overall loan portfolio, as well as specific charge-offs and their impact to our historical charge-off history. Charge-off history is a significant factor taken into consideration when calculating the allowance for loan losses.

The percentage of the allowance for loan loss associated with real estate investor loans is only 10.4%, or $315,000 at September 30, 2018, despite total charge-offs of $8,000 during the six months ended September 30, 2018 and $315,000 and $1.8 million for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The lower amount of reserves given large charge-offs over the past two years is because a large portion of the investor charge-offs were associated with acquired loans from Fairmount. These loans, at acquisition, were not considered to have deteriorated credit quality and were accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 310-20. Under ASC Topic 310-20, the difference between the loan’s principal balance at the time of purchase and the fair value is recognized as an adjustment of yield over the life of the loan. The fair value is comprised of two parts, including a credit mark used to measure credit quality and an interest rate mark to adjust the contractual rate to a current market rate. At September 30, 2018, the net of the credit and interest rate mark remaining with respect to the Fairmount portfolio was $396,000. This amount acts as a type of reserve and is analyzed in conjunction with the allowance for loan losses with respect to determining reserves that need to be set aside for a specific loan segment.

Market Risk Management

General. Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our financial condition and results of operations to changes in market interest rates. Our Asset-Liability Management Committee (ALCO) 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 policy and guidelines approved by our board of directors.

Historically, we have operated as a traditional thrift institution. A significant portion of our assets consist of longer-term, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans and securities, which we have funded primarily with time deposits. Since 2009, in an effort to improve our earnings and to decrease our exposure to interest rate risk, we have generally sold all newly originated residential mortgage loans with terms of over ten years into the secondary market and shifted our focus to originating commercial real estate and commercial business loans. Such loans generally have shorter maturities than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. However, over the last half of fiscal 2017 and into fiscal 2018, we began to portfolio many of the traditional residential mortgage loans we originated, versus selling them in the secondary market, due to the increase in normal attrition within this loan segment resulting from our acquisitions. Prior to that time, we generally sold these loans in the secondary market at a premium to assist with managing interest rate risk and to enhance non-interest revenue. At the beginning of this year, we began to once again sell most newly originated residential loans that qualify into the secondary market versus putting them in portfolio for those same reasons.

Net Interest Income Analysis. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through our net interest income simulation model which is provided to us by an independent third party. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. We estimate what our net interest income would be for a one-year period based on current interest rates. We then calculate what the net interest income would be for the same period under different interest rate assumptions. We also estimate this impact over a five-year time horizon. The following table shows the estimated impact on net interest income for the one-year period beginning September 30, 2018 resulting from potential changes in interest rates. These estimates require certain assumptions to be made, including loan and mortgage-related investment prepayment speeds, reinvestment rates, and deposit maturities and decay rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain. As a result, no simulation model can precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income. Although the net interest income table below provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such estimates are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.

Economic Value of Equity Analysis. We also analyze the sensitivity of our financial condition to changes in interest rates through our economic value of equity model, which is also provided to us by the same independent third party as the net interest income analysis. This analysis measures the difference between predicted changes in the present value of our assets and predicted changes in the present value of our liabilities assuming various changes in current interest rates. As with the net interest income simulation model, the estimates of changes in the economic value of our equity require certain assumptions to be made. These assumptions include loan and mortgage-related investment prepayment speeds, reinvestment rates, and deposit maturities and decay rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, we cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on the economic value of our equity. Although our economic value of equity analysis provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such estimates are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on the economic value of our equity and will differ from actual results.

The following table shows, as of September 30, 2018, the estimated impact on the net present value of equity that would result from potential changes in interest rates under an instantaneous parallel shift for Hamilton Bank. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

Rate Shift (1) |  | Economic Value of Equity |  |  | % Change In Equity from Level |
|  | (Dollars in thousands) |  |  |  |
+400 |  | $ | 28,085 |  |  |  | (50.5 | )
+300 |  | $ | 35,237 |  |  |  | (37.9 | )
+200 |  | $ | 43,451 |  |  |  | (23.4 | )

-300 |  | $ | 45,240 |  |  |  | (20.3 | )

(1) | The calculated changes assume an immediate shock of the static yield curve.

The table above indicates that at September 30, 2018, in the event of an instantaneous parallel 300 basis points decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 20.3% decrease in net portfolio value. In the event of an instantaneous 400 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 50.5% decrease in net portfolio value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity describes our ability to meet current and future financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal and mortgage-backed securities, maturities and calls of investment securities and funds provided by our operations. 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 adjust our investments in liquid assets available to meet short-term liquidity needs based upon our assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and (iv) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy.

##### Table of Contents

We also have the ability to borrow from the FHLB to meet our funding and liquidity needs. At September 30, 2018, we had $53.6 million in borrowings from the FHLB and the capacity to borrow approximately $76.7 million more, subject to our pledging sufficient assets.

Hamilton Bank may also borrow up to $5.0 million from a correspondent bank under a secured federal funds line of credit, and $1.0 million under an unsecured line of credit. We would be required to pledge investment securities to draw upon the secured line of credit.

We normally carry balances with correspondent banks that exceed the federally insured limit. We currently conduct a quarterly review of each correspondent bank’s financial information, including the bank’s capital ratios, balance sheet, income statement, allowance for loans losses, and other performance ratios, to determine if the bank is financially stable.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and interest-earning deposits. The level of these assets depends on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2018, cash and cash equivalents totaled $22.0 million and securities classified as available-for-sale amounted to $68.9 million.

Total deposits decreased $16.7 million over the six months ended September 30, 2018, while total deposits decreased $18.7 million over the same period a year ago. Deposit flows are affected by the level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by competitors and other factors. In the first half of fiscal 2018, we continued our focus in growing our lower costing core deposits (considered to be all deposits other than certificates of deposit) to assist in funding organic loan growth. As interest rates have risen over the past year, the market competition for deposits, in particular time deposits and money market accounts, has become more competitive with respect to pricing. We have strategically decided not to price at the top of the market, unless through a promotional deposit product, or match competitor pricing in certain circumstances as a means to manage interest expense. Certificates of deposit due allow us to lock in those funds for an extended period of time based upon current interest rates. At September 30, 2018, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature within one year totaled $126.5 million, or 53.9% of certificates of deposit. We believe the large percentage of certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflects customers’ hesitancy to invest their funds for longer periods due to the current low interest rate environment and local competitive pressures. Whether we retain these deposits will be determined in part by the interest rates we are willing to pay on such deposits. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on certificates of deposit due on or before September 30, 2019.

In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, unused lines of credit and letters of credit. At September 30, 2018, we had $49.3 million in commitments to extend credit outstanding.

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Based on our deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of maturing time deposits will be retained. However, our retention experience could be impacted by the merger with Orrstown and our depositor’s decision to place their funds elsewhere (see Part II – Other Information; Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion).

At September 30, 2018, we exceeded all of the applicable regulatory capital requirements for Hamilton Bank (See capital tables in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Our regulatory risk weighted capital ratios increased during the first half of fiscal 2019 as a result of an increase in our capital levels due to the net income recorded for the quarter.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

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

Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The information required by this item is included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated financial data presented herein regarding Hamilton Bank 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 Hamilton Bank’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on Hamilton Bank’s 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.

Short Term Incentive Plan

Hamilton Bank adopted the Annual Incentive Plan, effective as of April 1, 2015, to motivate and reward senior management for their contributions to the performance and success of Hamilton Bancorp and Hamilton Bank. The Plan focuses on financial measures that are critical to Hamilton Bancorp’s and Hamilton Bank’s growth and profitability, and is utilized to align the interests of our senior management team with stockholders of Hamilton Bancorp by paying cash bonus awards that are directly linked to the performance of Hamilton Bancorp and Hamilton Bank. If the performance objectives are accomplished, the participant would receive a cash award equal to a pre-established percentage of his or her base salary, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Each Named Executive Officer was a participant in the Annual Incentive Plan.

For the annual performance period ending March 31, 2018, the Compensation Committee established objective performance objectives related to: (1) net income; (2) loan production; and (3) asset quality. Because Hamilton Bank did not satisfy its pre-established net income performance metric, no bonuses were awarded under the Annual Incentive Plan.

Employment and Change in Control Agreements

Employment Agreement with Mr. DeAlmeida. On October 10, 2012, Hamilton Bank and Hamilton Bancorp entered into separate employment agreements with Mr. DeAlmeida. The employment agreements have essentially identical provisions, except that the employment agreement with Hamilton Bancorp: (i) provides for daily, rather than annual, renewal of the term; (ii) obligates Hamilton Bancorp to make payments not made by Hamilton Bank under its agreement with Mr. DeAlmeida (provided that no duplicate payments are made); and (iii) will not require an automatic cut-back of severance benefits payable on termination of employment in connection with a change in control in order to avoid an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.

The employment agreement with Hamilton Bancorp has a three-year term that automatically renews daily so that the remaining term is always three years. The employment agreement with Hamilton Bank had an initial term of three years. At least 60 days prior to the anniversary date of the agreement, the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of Hamilton Bank must conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation and affirmatively approve any extension of the Hamilton Bank employment agreement for an additional year or determine not to extend the term of the Hamilton Bank employment agreement. If the Board of Directors determines not to extend the term, it must notify Mr. DeAlmeida at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the anniversary date.

The employment agreements provide Mr. DeAlmeida with an annual base salary, which was $259,100 for the year ended March 31, 2018. The base salary may be increased, but not decreased (other than a decrease which is applicable to all senior officers). In addition to base salary, Mr. DeAlmeida is entitled to participate in any bonus program and benefit plan that are made available to management employees, and will be reimbursed for all reasonable business expenses incurred.

In the event of Mr. DeAlmeida’s involuntary termination of employment for reasons other than cause, disability or death, or in the event of his resignation for “good reason,” he will receive a severance payment equal to the base salary that he would have earned had he remained employed with the Hamilton Bank and Hamilton Bancorp from his date of termination until, and including, the last day of the remaining term of his employment agreements. Such payment is payable in a lump sum within 30 days following Mr. DeAlmeida’s date of termination. In addition, Mr. DeAlmeida will be entitled to receive from Hamilton Bank or Hamilton Bancorp continued life insurance and non-taxable medical and dental insurance coverage under the same cost-sharing arrangements that apply for active employees of Hamilton Bank and Hamilton Bancorp. Such coverage will cease upon the earlier of: (i) the completion of the remaining term of the employment agreements or (ii) the date on which Mr. DeAlmeida receives substantially similar benefits from another employer. For purposes of the employment agreements, “good reason” is defined as: (i) a material reduction in base salary or benefits (other than reduction by Hamilton Bank or Hamilton Bancorp that is part of a good faith, overall reduction of such benefits applicable to all employees); (ii) a material reduction in Mr. DeAlmeida’s duties or responsibilities; (iii) a relocation of Mr. DeAlmeida’s principal place of employment by more than 25 miles from Hamilton Bank’s or Hamilton Bancorp’s main office location; or (iv) a material breach of the employment agreements by Hamilton Bank or Hamilton Bancorp.

If Mr. DeAlmeida’s involuntary termination of employment other than for cause, disability or death or voluntary resignation for “good reason” occurs on or after the effective date of a change in control of Hamilton Bancorp or Hamilton Bank, he would be entitled to (in lieu of the payments and benefits described in the previous paragraph) a severance payment equal to three times the sum of his highest rate of base salary and annual bonus paid to, or earned by, him during the current calendar year of his date of termination or either of the three calendar years immediately preceding his date of termination.

##### Table of Contents

Such payment will be payable in a lump sum within 30 days following Mr. DeAlmeida’s date of termination. In addition, Mr. DeAlmeida would be entitled, at no expense, to the continuation of substantially comparable life insurance and non-taxable medical and dental insurance coverage until the earlier of: (i) the date which is three years after his date of termination; or (ii) the date on which he receives substantially similar benefits from another employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payments required under the Hamilton Bank employment agreement but not under Hamilton Bancorp employment agreement in connection with a change in control will be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid penalties under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.

Furthermore, should Mr. DeAlmeida become disabled, he will be entitled to disability benefits, if any, provided under a long-term disability plan sponsored by Hamilton Bank or Hamilton Bancorp. In the event of Mr. DeAlmeida’s death while employed, his beneficiaries will be paid his base salary for one year following death, and his family will continue to receive non-taxable medical and dental coverage for one year thereafter.

Upon any termination of employment that would entitle Mr. DeAlmeida to a severance payment (other than a termination in connection with a change in control), Mr. DeAlmeida will be required to adhere to one-year non-competition and non-solicitation covenants.

Change in Control Agreement with Mr. Marzullo. On October 10, 2012, Hamilton Bank entered into a change in control agreement with Mr. Marzullo. The agreement had an initial term of two years. At least 60 days prior to the anniversary date of the agreement, the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of Hamilton Bank must conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation and affirmatively approve any extension of the agreement for an additional year or determine not to extend the term of the agreement. If the Board of Directors determines not to extend the term, it must notify the executive at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the anniversary date of the agreement.

Under the agreement, in the event of Mr. Marzullo’s involuntary termination of employment other than for cause, disability or death, or voluntary resignation for “good reason” occurs on or after the effective date of a change in control of Hamilton Bancorp or Hamilton Bank, Mr. Marzullo would be entitled to a severance payment equal to two times the sum of his highest rate of base salary and annual bonus paid to, or earned by, him during the current calendar year of his date of termination or either of the two calendar years immediately preceding his date of termination. Such payment will be payable in a lump sum within 30 days following Mr. Marzullo’s date of termination. In addition, Mr. Marzullo would be entitled to the continuation of substantially comparable life insurance and non-taxable medical and dental insurance coverage until the earlier of: (i) the date which is two years after his date of termination or (ii) the date on which he receives substantially similar benefits from another employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payments required under the agreement will be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid penalties under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of the change in control agreement, “good reason” is defined as: (i) a material reduction in Mr. Marzullo’s base salary or benefits (other than reduction by Hamilton Bank that is part of a good faith, overall reduction of such benefits applicable to all employees); (ii) a material reduction in his duties or responsibilities; (iii) a relocation of his principal place of employment by more than 25 miles from Hamilton Bank’s main office location; or (iv) a material breach of the change in control agreement by Hamilton Bank.

Change in Control Agreement with Ms. Fish. On February 27, 2015, Hamilton Bank entered into a change in control agreement with Ms. Fish. The anniversary date of the agreement has since been changed to October 10 of each year so that the agreement term aligns with the aforementioned agreements for Messrs. DeAlmeida and Marzullo. The agreement has an initial term of two years. At least 60 days prior to the anniversary date of the agreement, the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of Hamilton Bank must conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation and affirmatively approve any extension of the agreement for an additional year or determine not to extend the term of the agreement. If the board of directors determines not to extend the term, it must notify the executive at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the anniversary date of the agreement.

Under the agreement, in the event of Ms. Fish’s involuntary termination of employment other than for cause, disability or death, or voluntary resignation for “good reason,” occurs on or after the effective date of a change in control of Hamilton Bancorp or Hamilton Bank, Ms. Fish would be entitled to a severance payment equal to two times the sum of her highest rate of base salary and annual bonus paid to, or earned by, her during the current calendar year of her date of termination or either of the two calendar years immediately preceding her date of termination. Such payment will be payable in a lump sum within 30 days following Ms. Fish’s date of termination. In addition, Ms. Fish would be entitled to the continuation of substantially comparable life insurance and non-taxable medical and dental insurance coverage until the earlier of: (i) the date which is two years after her date of termination or (ii) the date on which she receives substantially similar benefits from another employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payments required under the agreement will be

reduced to the extent necessary to avoid penalties under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of the change in control agreement, “good reason” is defined as: (i) a material reduction in Ms. Fish’s base salary or benefits (other than reduction by Hamilton Bank that is part of a good faith, overall reduction of such benefits applicable to all employees); (ii) a material reduction in her duties or responsibilities; (iii) a relocation of her principal place of employment by more than 25 miles from Hamilton Bank’s main office location; or (iv) a material breach of the change in control agreement by Hamilton Bank.

For Ms. Fish, her stock awards and option awards listed represent grants under our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and vest at a rate of 20% per year beginning on February 18, 2015.

(2) | The amounts in this column are based on the fair market value of our common stock on March 29, 2018 of $14.25 per share.

2013 Equity Incentive Plan. On November 18, 2013, our stockholders approved the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan to provide employees and directors of Hamilton Bancorp and Hamilton Bank with additional incentives to promote the growth and performance of Hamilton Bancorp and to further align the interests of our directors and management with the interests of our stockholders by increasing the ownership interests of directors and management in the common stock of Hamilton Bancorp. The 2013 Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The 2013 Equity Incentive Plan initially authorized the issuance of up to 518,420 shares of common stock, of which up to 370,300 shares of common stock may be delivered pursuant to the exercise of stock options and 148,120 shares of common stock may be issued pursuant to grants of restricted stock awards and/or restricted stock units.

The Compensation Committee may determine the type and terms and conditions of the awards under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, and these determinations will be set forth in an award agreement delivered to each recipient. Factors used to determine awards under the plan include recipient’s executive position, job performance and contributions to Hamilton Bancorp. Awards may be granted in a combination of incentive and non-qualified stock options or restricted stock or restricted stock units, as follows:

| (i) | Stock Options. A stock option gives the recipient the right to purchase shares of Company common stock at a specified price for a specified period of time. The exercise price may not be less than the fair market value on the date the stock option is grant. Stock options are either “incentive” stock options or “non-qualified” stock options. Incentive stock options have certain tax advantages and must comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Only employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options.

157

##### Table of Contents

| (ii) | Restricted Stock. A restricted stock award is a grant of common stock of Hamilton Bancorp, subject to vesting requirements, to a recipient for no consideration or minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law. Restricted stock awards are granted in whole shares of common stock and are subject to vesting conditions and other restrictions established by the Compensation Committee as set forth in the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan or the award agreement. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, the recipient of a restricted stock award may exercise any voting rights with respect to common stock subject to an award and receive dividends and distributions with respect to the common stock.

| (iii) | Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units are similar to restricted stock awards in that the value of a restricted stock unit is denominated in shares of stock, however, unlike a restricted stock award, no shares of stock are transferred to the recipient until certain requirements or conditions associated with the award are satisfied.

With respect to restricted stock and restricted stock units, performance measures may be applied to the awards so that they are conditioned on the achievement of one or more performance measures set forth in the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and specified in the recipient’s underlying award agreement. Such shares are referred to as “performance shares.” The performance shares will vest only on the achievement of one or more performance measures in whole or in part, which are predetermined and specified in the recipient’s award agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise specified in the recipient’s award agreement, all awards will vest upon death, disability or involuntary termination of employment or termination of service as a director following a change in control.

As of March 31, 2018, the Compensation Committee has awarded 83,900 restricted stock awards and 242,350 stock options to employees and directors, in the aggregate, under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

Benefit Plans

Hamilton Bank Agreement for Deferred Compensation of Salaries. Hamilton Bank adopted the Agreement for Deferred Compensation of Salaries on January 1, 1984. Mr. DeAlmeida is a participant in this plan. The plan allows for executive participant to defer payment of a specified percentage or fixed amount of his base salary to be paid during the next calendar year. The participant’s deferred salary is held by Hamilton Bank through a grantor trust. 1919 Investment Council & Trust serves as trustee of the grantor trust and is directed by Hamilton Bank as to the investment of the assets held by the grantor trust. If the participant elects to defer payment of his salary, the participant is required to elect the time and manner in which his deferred salary will be paid. Specifically, the participant must elect that his deferred salary will (i) either be paid on either a specified date or upon his separation from service and (ii) be paid in the form of either a lump sum distribution or equal installments over a specified period of time.

Executive Split Dollar Agreements. Hamilton Bank has entered into Executive Split Dollar Agreements with each of Messrs. DeAlmeida and Marzullo. Under the agreements, each executive’s designated beneficiary is entitled to share in the proceeds under a life insurance policy owned by Hamilton Bank in the event of the executive’s death while employed with Hamilton Bank. The death benefit payable to each executive’s designated beneficiary is $350,000.

401(k) Plan. Hamilton Bank maintains the 401(k) Plan, a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan, for all employees who have satisfied the 401(k) Plan’s eligibility requirements. Each eligible employee can begin participating in the 401(k) Plan on the first day of the month following the date on which the employee attains age 18 and has completed 90 days of service.

A participant may contribute up to 100% of his or her compensation to the 401(k) Plan on a pre-tax basis, subject to the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. For 2017, the salary deferral contribution limit is $18,000 provided, however, that a participant over age 50 may contribute an additional $6,000 to the 401(k) Plan. In addition to salary deferral contributions, the 401(k) Plan provides that Hamilton Bank will make a safe harbor employer contribution to each participant’s account equal to at least 3% of the participant’s compensation earned during the plan year (referred to as a “non-elective contribution”). A participant is always 100% vested in his or her salary deferral and non-elective contributions.

In addition, Hamilton Bank is permitted to make a discretionary profit sharing contribution to the 401(k) Plan that is allocated to each participant based on his or her group category. Each participant will be categorized into one of the following groups: (i) Group A will consist of the President and Chief Executive Officer; (ii) Group B will consist of the Executive Vice President; (iii) Group C will consist of Senior Officers; (iv) Group D will consist of Junior Officers; (v) Group E will consist of Managers; (vi) Group F will consist of Staff; (vii) Group G will consist of Terminated Highly Compensated Employees; and (viii) Group H will consist of Terminated Non-Highly Compensated Employees. Hamilton Bank may contribute a different percentage of the profit sharing contribution to each group, with the amount contributed to be allocated to each participant in the group proportionately based on his or her compensation compared to the total compensation paid to all

158

##### Table of Contents

participants in the group during the plan year. Each participant vests in his or her profit sharing contribution at a rate 20% per year such that the participant will become 100% vested upon the completion of five years of credited service. However a participant will immediately become 100% vested in any employer contributions upon the participant’s death, disability or attainment of age 65 (or the fifth anniversary of joining the 401(k) Plan, if later) while employed with Hamilton Bank.

Generally, a participant (or participant’s beneficiary) may receive a distribution from his or her vested account at retirement, age 591⁄2 (while employed with Hamilton Bank), death, disability or termination of employment, and elect for the distribution to be paid in the form of either a lump sum or installment payments of at least $1,000 over a specified period.

Each participant has an individual account under the 401(k) Plan and may direct the investment of his or her account among a variety of investment options available, including the Hamilton Bancorp Stock Fund, which allows participants to invest in the common stock of Hamilton Bancorp.

ESOP. Effective January 1, 2012, Hamilton Bank adopted the ESOP, a tax-qualified retirement plan, for eligible employees. Eligible employees who have attained age 21 will begin participation in the ESOP on the later of the effective date of the ESOP or upon the first entry date commencing on or after the eligible employee’s completion of 1,000 hours of service during a continuous 12-month period. Employees who had attained age 21 and completed 1,000 hours of service during a continuous 12-month period as of October 10, 2012 (the effective date of the conversion of Hamilton Bank from the mutual to stock form of organization) were eligible to immediately participate in the ESOP.

The ESOP trustee purchased, on behalf of the ESOP, 296,240 shares of Company common stock issued in connection with the conversion and related stock offering. The ESOP funded its stock purchase with a loan of $2,962,400 from Hamilton Bancorp, which represented the aggregate purchase price of the common stock. The loan is repaid principally through Hamilton Bank’s contribution to the ESOP and dividends payable on unallocated common stock held by the ESOP over a 20-year term of the loan. The interest rate for the ESOP loan is an adjustable-rate equal to the prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal. The interest rate adjusts annually and is the prime rate on the first business day of the calendar year, retroactive to January 1 of such year.

The trustee holds the shares purchased by the ESOP in an unallocated suspense account. Shares are released from the suspense account on a pro-rata basis as the loan is repaid by the ESOP. The trustee allocates the shares released among the participants’ accounts on the basis of each participant’s proportional share of compensation relative to all participants. Participants vest in their benefit at a rate of 20% per year, such that the participants will be 100% vested upon completion of five years of credited service. Participants who were employed by Hamilton Bank immediately prior to the conversion received credit for vesting purposes for years of service prior to adoption of the ESOP. Participants also will become fully vested upon normal retirement, death or disability, a change in control, or termination of the ESOP. Generally, participants will receive distributions from the ESOP upon severance from employment. The ESOP reallocates any unvested shares forfeited upon termination of employment among the remaining participants.

The ESOP permits participants to direct the trustee as to how to vote the shares of common stock allocated to their accounts. The trustee votes unallocated shares and allocated shares for which participants do not provide instructions on any matter in the same ratio as those shares for which participants provide instructions, subject to fulfillment of the trustee’s fiduciary responsibilities.

Under applicable accounting requirements, Hamilton Bank will record a compensation expense for the ESOP at the fair market value of the shares as they are committed to be released from the unallocated suspense account to participants’ accounts. The compensation expense resulting from the release of Company common stock from the suspense account and allocation to plan participants will result in a corresponding reduction in Hamilton Bancorp’s earnings.

Supplemental ESOP. Hamilton Bank adopted the Hamilton Bank Non-Qualified Supplemental Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Supplemental ESOP”), effective January 1, 2012. The Supplemental ESOP is a non-tax qualified benefit restoration plan that provides additional cash benefits, equal to the participant’s account balance, at retirement or other termination of employment (or upon a change in control) to participants who are key employees selected by the Compensation Committee to participate in the plan and whose benefits under the tax-qualified ESOP described above are limited by tax limitation laws applicable to tax-qualified plans. Mr. DeAlmeida is the only participant in the Supplemental ESOP.

159

##### Table of Contents

Each plan year, the Supplemental ESOP credits each participant who also participates in the tax-qualified ESOP with an annual amount equal to the sum of the difference (denominated in shares of phantom stock) between: (i) the number of shares of common stock of Hamilton Bancorp that would have been allocated to the participant’s account in the ESOP, but for the tax law limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, plus earnings thereon; and (ii) the actual number of shares allocated to the participant’s account in the ESOP plus earnings thereon. Hamilton Bank, at its discretion, may establish a rabbi trust to hold assets attributable to the Supplemental ESOP to fund its benefit obligation or may account for the assets of the Supplemental ESOP solely as bookkeeping entries. One share of phantom stock will have a value equal to the fair market value of one share of Company common stock. Dividends deemed paid on shares of phantom stock held in the participant’s account will immediately be deemed to be reinvested in shares of phantom stock.

The participant’s accumulated benefit under the Supplemental ESOP will be payable in a lump sum payment within 30 days following the first to occur of: (i) the participant’s separation from service; (ii) the participant’s death; (iii) the participant’s disability; or (iv) a change in control of Hamilton Bank or Hamilton Bancorp. The accumulated benefit will be paid to the participant in cash equal to the fair market value of the participant’s phantom shares, plus earnings thereon, as of the date of distribution.

Director Compensation

Director Fees. All non-employee directors received fees per board and committee meetings attended for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. Each non-employee director was paid a retainer of $2,000 per month, with the exception of the Board Chairwoman who was paid $3,350 per month.

Actions by Written Consent of Stockholders

Orrstown Financial Services. Orrstown Financial Services’ bylaws permit stockholder action by written consent, provided that the written consent is signed by all stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting.

Hamilton Bancorp. Under Maryland law, unless otherwise restricted in the bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders or of a class of stockholders of a corporation may be taken without a meeting if a consent or consents to the action in record form are signed, before, on or after the effective date of the action by all of the stockholders who would be entitled to vote at a meeting for such purpose. Hamilton Bancorp’s bylaws are silent on stockholder action by the written consent.

Limitations on Voting Rights

Orrstown Financial Services. Neither of Orrstown Financial Services’ articles of organization or bylaws contain limitations on the voting rights of the equity securities of Orrstown Financial Services, nor are such limitations applicable to Orrstown Financial Corporation’s equity securities under Pennsylvania law.

Hamilton Bancorp. Hamilton Bancorp’s articles of incorporation provide that no record holders of any outstanding common stock of Hamilton Bancorp that is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by a person who beneficially owns more than 10% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock of Hamilton Bancorp will be permitted to vote any shares held in excess of the 10% limit unless, before the person acquired beneficial ownership of such shares in excess of the 10% limit, such acquisition of shares was approved by a majority of Hamilton Bancorp’s unaffiliated directors. This limitation does not apply to directors or officers acting solely in their capacities as directors and officers, or to any employee stock ownership or similar plan of Hamilton Bancorp or any of its subsidiaries or to trustees of such plans solely by reason of their capacity as trustees. In addition, Hamilton Bancorp’s board of directors has the power to construe and apply the provisions in the articles of incorporation regarding the 10% limitation on voting rights and to make all determinations necessary or desirable to implement these provisions.

Board of Directors—Number, Removal and Classification

Orrstown Financial Services. Orrstown Financial Services’ bylaws provide that the number of directors on the board shall be not less than nine and not more than 15, as determined from time to time by resolution of the board of directors approved by at least 75% of the directors entitled to vote thereon. Orrstown Financial Services currently has 11 directors. Orrstown Financial Services’ bylaws provide that the directors will be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with the term of one class expiring each year. Orrstown Financial Services’ articles of incorporation prohibit cumulative voting by stockholders in the election of directors.

Pennsylvania law provides that any director, or the entire board of directors, may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors. However, unless expressly provided otherwise, a director, or the entire board, of a corporation whose board is classified may only be removed for cause. Orrstown Financial Services’ bylaws provided that a director may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

Hamilton Bancorp. Hamilton Bancorp’s articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that the number of directors of Hamilton Bancorp shall, by virtue of Hamilton Bancorp’s election made to be governed by Section 3-804(b) of the MGCL, be fixed from time to time exclusively by vote of the board of directors; provided, however, that such number shall never be less than the minimum number of directors required by the MGCL. Currently, Hamilton Bancorp’s board of directors is set at eight directors.

Hamilton Bancorp’s articles of incorporation and bylaws provide further that the directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of preferred stock, shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equally as possible, creating a staggered board of directors. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire will be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election or for such shorter period of time as the board of directors may determine, with each director to hold office until his or her term expires and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified. The vote of a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting is required to elect directors of Hamilton Bancorp. Stockholders are not permitted to cumulate their votes in the election of directors.

##### Table of Contents

Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock then outstanding, any director, or the entire board of directors of Hamilton Bancorp may be removed from office at any time for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of Hamilton Bancorp entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (subject to voting limitations set forth in the articles of incorporation), voting together as a single class.

Hamilton Bancorp’s bylaws provide that a director may resign at any time by giving written notice of such resignation to the president or secretary of Hamilton Bancorp at Hamilton Bancorp’s principal office. Unless otherwise specified in the written notice, the resignation will take effect upon receipt of the written notice.

Stockholder Nominations and Proposals

Orrstown Financial Services. Orrstown Financial Services’ bylaws include advance notice and informational requirements for any proposal that a stockholder wishes to bring before an annual meeting of stockholders. In order to be properly brought before a meeting, a stockholder proposal must be received by the corporation no less than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of Orrstown Financial Services’ stockholders.

Hamilton Bancorp. Hamilton Bancorp’s articles of incorporation provide that advance notice of stockholder nomination for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of Hamilton Bancorp shall be given in the manner provided in the bylaws. The bylaws, in turn, provide that nominations of persons for the election to the board of directors may be made at a meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected only: (i) by or at the direction of the board of directors; or (ii) by any stockholder of Hamilton Bancorp who (1) is a stockholder of record on the date the stockholder gives notice as described below and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, and (2) complies with the following notice procedures. Nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the board of directors, must be made by timely notice in writing to the secretary of Hamilton Bancorp. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered or mailed to and received by the secretary at the principal executive office of Hamilton Bancorp not less than 80 days nor more than 90 days prior to any such meeting; provided, however, that if less than 90 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given to stockholders, such written notice shall be delivered or mailed, as prescribed, to the secretary of Hamilton Bancorp not later than the 10th day following the day on which the notice of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made.

The bylaws of Hamilton Bancorp further provide that at annual meetings only such business shall be conducted (i) as specified in the notice of meeting, (ii) brought by or at the direction of the board of directors, or (iii) by any stockholder of Hamilton Bancorp who (1) is a stockholder of record on the date the stockholder gives notice as described below and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, and (2) complies with the following notice procedures. Actions brought by stockholders at an annual meeting must be made by timely notice in writing to the secretary of Hamilton Bancorp and such business must otherwise be a proper matter for action by the stockholders. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered or mailed to and received by the secretary at the principal executive office of Hamilton Bancorp not less than 80 days nor more than 90 days prior to any such meeting; provided, however, that if less than 90 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given to stockholders, such written notice shall be delivered or mailed, as prescribed, to the secretary of Hamilton Bancorp not later than the 10th day following the day on which the notice of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made.

Filling Vacancies on the Board of Directors

Orrstown Financial Services. Orrstown Financial Services’ bylaws provide that vacancies in the board of directors, including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors, may be filled only by a majority of the remaining members of the board of directors though less than a quorum, and each person so elected shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of the class to which the director has been chosen expires, or until his earlier resignation or removal.

Hamilton Bancorp. Hamilton Bancorp’s bylaws provide that any vacancy occurring in the board of directors resulting from an increase in the number of directors or the death, resignation or removal of a director, may be filled only by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the remaining directors then in office, even if such directors do not constitute a quorum. A director elected to fill a vacancy will be elected to serve for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred and until the director’s successor is elected and qualified.

Preemptive Rights

Preemptive rights generally allow a stockholder to maintain its proportionate share of ownership of a corporation by permitting the stockholder to purchase a proportionate share of any new stock issuances. Preemptive rights protect the stockholders from dilution of value and control upon new stock issuances. Under Pennsylvania law, unless the articles of incorporation provides otherwise, stockholders have no preemptive rights. For a Maryland corporation incorporated on or after October 1, 1995, unless the articles of incorporation expressly grant such rights to the stockholder, a stockholder does not have any preemptive rights. Neither the articles of incorporation of Orrstown Financial Services nor the articles of incorporation of Hamilton Bancorp provide for preemptive rights.

Dividends

Under Pennsylvania law and Maryland law, the board of directors of a Pennsylvania corporation may declare and pay dividends unless, after giving effect to the payment of such dividends, (1) the corporation would be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of its business or (2) the total assets of the corporation would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time as of which the distribution is measured, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution. Neither the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Orrstown Financial Services nor the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Hamilton Bancorp materially deviate from this standard.

Applicable federal and state banking regulators have the authority to prohibit Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp, respectively, from paying dividends if such payment is deemed to be an unsafe or unsound practice.

Rights of Dissenting Stockholders

Dissenters’ rights are statutory rights that enable stockholders who object to extraordinary transactions, such as mergers, to demand that the corporation pay such stockholders the fair value of their shares instead of agreeing to receive the consideration offered to stockholders in connection with the extraordinary transaction.

Under Maryland law, rights of an objecting stockholder in a Maryland corporation (known as “appraisal rights” or “dissenter’s rights” in other jurisdictions) are governed by the MGCL. Stockholders of a Maryland corporation may demand fair value and perfect appraisal rights (i.e. object and receive payment of the fair value of their stock) in the event of (1) a merger, share exchange or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the corporation, (2) an amendment to the charter that alters the contract rights, as expressly set forth in the charter, of outstanding stock unless the right to do so is reserved in the charter, or (3) in the case of certain business combination governed by Title 3 Subtitle 6 of the MGCL. However, the MGCL provides a number of exceptions where a dissenting stockholder has no such right. Among these exceptions, a stockholder of a Maryland corporation may not demand fair value if the stock is listed on a national securities exchange, such as NASDAQ.

Under Pennsylvania law, dissenters’ rights are not available to stockholders of a Pennsylvania corporation in all circumstances and exceptions to those rights are set forth in the PBCL, including when the shares are listed on a national securities exchange or held beneficially by more than 2,000 persons. In order to dissent, a stockholder must file a notice to dissent and follow the various steps set forth in the PBCL. If there is disagreement with respect to the fair value of such dissenter’s stock, the fair value shall be as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding. The term “fair value” means the value of a share of the corporation’s common stock immediately before the day of the merger, taking into account all relevant factors, but excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the merger.

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation

Orrstown Financial Services. The articles of incorporation of Orrstown Financial Services may be amended by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least three-fourths of the votes which all stockholders are entitled to cast unless approved by three-fourths of the directors of the corporation, in which case approval by stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes which all stockholders are entitled to cast shall be sufficient.

Hamilton Bancorp. Hamilton Bancorp’s articles of incorporation provide that Hamilton Bancorp reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision of the articles of incorporation as prescribed by the MGCL, including any amendment altering the terms or contract rights, as expressly set forth in the articles of incorporation, of any of the outstanding stock by classification, reclassification or otherwise, and no stockholder approval shall be required if the approval of stockholders is not required for the proposed amendment or repeal by the MGCL, and all rights conferred upon stockholders are granted

##### Table of Contents

subject to this reservation. The board of directors, pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the total number of directors that Hamilton Bancorp would have if there were no vacancies on the board of directors at the time any such resolution is presented to the board of directors for adoption (the “Whole Board”) (rounded up to the nearest whole number), and without action by the stockholders, may amend the articles of incorporation to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that Hamilton Bancorp has authority to issue.

No proposed amendment or repeal of any provision of the articles of incorporation shall be submitted to a stockholder vote unless the board of directors shall have (1) approved the proposed amendment or repeal, (2) determined that it is advisable and (3) directed that it be submitted for consideration at a meeting of the stockholders pursuant to a resolution approved by the board of directors. Any proposed amendment to the articles of incorporation may be abandoned by the board of directors any time prior to it becoming effective upon adoption of a resolution by the Whole Board.

After approval by the board of directors as set forth above, the amendment or repeal of any provision of the articles of incorporation must be approved by at least two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast by the holders of shares of capital stock of Hamilton Bancorp entitled to vote on the matter (after giving effect to the restrictions on voting rights described above), except that the proposed amendment or repeal of a provision of the articles of incorporation need only be approved by the vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of shares of capital stock entitled to vote on the matter (after giving effect to the restrictions on voting rights described above), if the amendment or repeal of such provision is approved by the board of directors pursuant to a resolution approved by at least two-thirds of the Whole Board (rounded up to the nearest whole number).

Notwithstanding any other provision of the articles of incorporation or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of the stock of Hamilton Bancorp required by law or by the articles of incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of Hamilton Bancorp entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (after giving effect to the restrictions on voting rights described above), voting together as a single class, is required to amend or repeal certain provisions of the articles of incorporation.

Amendments to Bylaws

Pennsylvania law and Maryland law generally provides that the stockholders entitled to vote have the power to adopt, amend and repeal the bylaws, and that subject to certain exceptions specified by law, the authority to adopt, amend and repeal bylaws may be expressly vested by the bylaws in the board of directors, subject to the power of the stockholders to change such action.

Orrstown Financial Services. Orrstown Financial Services’ bylaws provide that the stockholders entitled to vote thereon shall have the power to alter, amend, or repeal the bylaws, by the vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes which all stockholders are entitled to cast thereon, at any regular or special meeting, duly convened after notice to the stockholders of such purpose. In addition, the board of directors, by a majority vote of those voting, shall have the power to alter, amend, and repeal the bylaws, at any regular or special meeting duly convened after notice of such purpose, subject always to the power of the stockholders to further alter, amend or repeal the bylaws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amendments to Article 7 of the bylaws (indemnification and insurance) reducing the limitation of directors’ liability or limiting indemnification or the advancement of expenses in any manner shall require either the unanimous vote of the directors then serving or the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes that all stockholders are entitled to cast in the election of directors; provided that no such amendment shall have retroactive effect.

Hamilton Bancorp. Hamilton Bancorp’s articles of incorporation provide that the bylaws may be amended or repealed by the approval of a majority of the Whole Board. The bylaws may also be amended or repealed by an affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of Hamilton Bancorp entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (after giving effect to the restrictions on voting rights described above), voting together as a single class.

Stockholder Approval of a Merger

Orrstown Financial Services. In order to approve a merger under Pennsylvania law, the board of directors of a Pennsylvania corporation, such as Orrstown Financial Services, must adopt a resolution approving a plan of merger. The merger agreement must also be submitted to and approved by the holders of a majority of the votes cast by all stockholders entitled to vote thereon, unless the articles of incorporation requires a greater vote, provided that no vote of the stockholders is required if:

##### Table of Contents

| • |  | the surviving association is a domestic business corporation and its articles of incorporation are identical to the articles of incorporation of the corporation for which stockholder approval is not required, except for changes that could otherwise be made without stockholder approval;

| • |  | each share of the corporation outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the merger is to continue as or be converted into, except as may be otherwise agreed by the holder thereof, an identical share of the surviving association; and

| • |  | the plan of merger provides that the stockholders of the corporation are to hold in the aggregate shares of the surviving association to be outstanding immediately after the effectiveness of the merger entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast generally for the election of directors.

Hamilton Bancorp. The articles of incorporation of Hamilton Bancorp provide that any action, including business combinations, will be valid and effective upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total number of shares of all classes of Hamilton Bancorp stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the matter. The MGCL would otherwise require those types of transactions to be approved by two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast.

Business Combinations with Interested Stockholders

Orrstown Financial Services. The articles of incorporation of Orrstown Financial Services provide that any business combination (including a plan of merger or consolidation) or sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation with or to a stockholder of the corporation who, directly or indirectly, has voting control over 10% or more of any class of shares of the corporation or with or to an entity which, directly or indirectly, is controlled by such a stockholder, shall require the approval by the board of directors of the corporation and approval by stockholders entitled to cast at least three-fourths of the votes which all stockholders are entitled to cast thereon; provided, however, if such business combination or sale or transfer is approved by at least three-fourths of the directors of the corporation, then approval by stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes which all stockholders are entitled to cast shall be sufficient.

The articles of incorporation of Orrstown Financial Services also provide that, if any person (including any individual, corporation, partnership or other entity) directly or indirectly acquires shares of the corporation entitling the owner to cast at least 10% of the votes which all stockholders would be entitled to cast in the election of directors of the corporation, then any business combination (including a plan of merger or consolidation) with such person or an entity directly or indirectly controlled by such person shall require such person to offer to pay the other stockholders of the corporation at least the highest price paid directly or indirectly by such person for any of the shares then directly or indirectly owned by such person. For purposes of this provision “price” shall mean the sum of any cash and the fair value of any other consideration paid for any of such shares.

Hamilton Bancorp. Under the MGCL, a corporation may not enter into a business combination with any “interested stockholder” or affiliate of an interested stockholder during the five-year period following the most recent date on which the person or entity became an interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person or entity who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation or any affiliate of the corporation who directly or indirectly was the beneficial owner of ten percent or more of the voting power at any time during the preceding two years. Nevertheless, a corporation may enter into a business combination with an interested stockholder if the transaction is approved by 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the matter, voting as a single group, and two-thirds of the voting stock held by all stockholders other than the interested stockholder who is a party to the transaction and its affiliates, voting as a single group.

Pennsylvania Anti-Takeover Provisions

Under Pennsylvania business corporation law, certain anti-takeover provisions apply to Pennsylvania “registered corporations” (e.g., publicly traded companies) including those relating to (i) control share acquisitions, (ii) disgorgement of profits by certain controlling persons, (iii) business combination transactions with interested stockholders and (iv) the rights of stockholders to demand fair value for their stock following a control transaction. Pennsylvania law allows registered corporations to opt-out of any of these anti-takeover provisions. Orrstown Financial Services is a registered corporation under the PBCL and has opted out of the anti-takeover provision listed in (iv) above. Hamilton Bancorp is not a registered corporation and is therefore not subject to these anti-takeover provisions. A general summary of the applicable anti-takeover provisions is set forth below.

167

##### Table of Contents

Control Share Acquisitions. Pennsylvania law limits control share acquisitions relating to the act of acquiring for the first time voting power over voting shares (other than shares owned since January 1, 1988 and any additional shares distributed with respect to such shares) equal to at least 20%, 33 1/3% and 50% of the voting power of the corporation. Once a control share acquisition has occurred, then all shares in excess of the triggering threshold, plus shares purchased at any time with the intention of acquiring such voting power and shares purchased within 180 days of the date the triggering threshold was exceeded, are considered control shares. Control shares cannot vote either until their voting rights have been restored by two separate votes of the stockholders, described below, at a meeting or until they have been transferred to a person who does not thereby also become the holder of control shares.

The holder of control shares may wait until the next annual or special meeting after the acquisition took place to submit the request for the restoration of voting rights to the stockholders, or the acquiring person may accelerate the process by agreeing to underwrite the cost of a special meeting of stockholders for that purpose. In either case, the acquiring person is required to furnish for distribution to the stockholders an information statement containing a detailed disclosure concerning the acquiring person, its intentions with respect to ownership of securities of the corporation and other matters. As an alternative, a person proposing to make a control share acquisition may request prospective approval by the stockholders of the exercise of the voting rights of the shares proposed to be acquired. Two stockholders’ votes are required to approve the restoration of voting rights: (i) the approval of an absolute majority of all voting power must be obtained, and all voting shares are entitled to participate in this vote; and (ii) the approval of an absolute majority of all disinterested stockholders must be obtained.

For a period of 24 months after the later of (i) a control share acquisition by an acquiring person who does not properly request consideration of voting rights, or (ii) the denial of such a request or lapse of voting rights, the corporation may redeem all the control shares at the average public market sales price of the shares on the date notice of the call for redemption is given by the corporation.

Disgorgement of Profits by Certain Controlling Persons. Pennsylvania law regarding disgorgement of profits by certain controlling persons applies in the event that (i) any person or group publicly discloses that the person or group may acquire control of the corporation, or (ii) a person or group acquires (or publicly discloses an intent to acquire) 20% or more of the voting power of the corporation and, in either case, sells shares within 18 months thereafter. Any profits from sales of equity securities of the corporation received by the person or group during such 18-month period will belong to the corporation if the securities that were sold were acquired during the 18-month period or within 24 months prior thereto.

Business Combination Transactions with Interested Stockholders. Pennsylvania law prohibits certain business combinations with certain ‘interested stockholders,’ persons who acquire the direct or indirect beneficial ownership of shares entitled to cast at least 20% of the votes entitled to be cast for the election of directors. A corporation subject to this provision may not effect mergers or certain other business combinations with the interested stockholder for a period of five years, unless:

| • |  | the business combination or the acquisition of stock by means of which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder is approved by the corporation’s board of directors prior to such stock acquisition;

| • |  | the business combination is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of all the outstanding common shares of the corporation; or

| • |  | the business combination is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all shares entitled to vote, excluding votes of shares held by the interested stockholders, and at the time of such vote, the interested stockholder is the beneficial owner of at least 80% of the voting shares of the corporation. This exception applies only if the value of the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder in connection with the business combination satisfies certain fair price requirements.

After the five-year restricted period, an interested stockholder of the corporation may engage in a business combination with the corporation if (i) the business combination is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares other than those beneficially owned by the interested stockholder and its affiliates, or (ii) the merger is approved at a stockholders meeting and certain fair price requirements are met.

Rights of Stockholders to Demand Fair Value for Stock Following a Control Transaction. Pennsylvania law regarding the ability of stockholders to dispose of their stock following a control transaction provides, generally, that a person or group that acquires more than 20% of the voting power to elect directors of the corporation is a controlling person and must give prompt notice to each stockholder of record. The other stockholders are then entitled to demand that the controlling person pay them the fair value of their shares under specified procedures. Fair value may not be less than the highest price paid per share by the controlling person at any time during the 90-day period ending on and including the date on which the controlling person became such, plus any increment representing any value, such as a control premium, that is not reflected in such price.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information and accompanying notes show the impact on the historical financial conditions and results of operations of Orrstown Financial Services, Mercersburg Financial Corporation (“Mercersburg”) and Hamilton Bancorp and have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the mergers under the acquisition method of accounting. See “The Merger — Accounting Treatment” beginning on page 55.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 is presented as if the Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp merger had occurred on September 30, 2018. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 are presented as if the Hamilton Bancorp merger had occurred on January 1, 2017. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the Hamilton Bancorp merger and, with respect to the income statement only, expected to have a continuing impact on consolidated results of operations, and, as such, Orrstown Financial Services’ one-time merger costs for the Hamilton Bancorp merger are not included. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 also reflect adjustments made to Hamilton Bancorp’s income statements to conform them from Hamilton Bancorp’s March 31 fiscal year end to Orrstown Financial Services’ December 31 fiscal year end. Such adjustments were made using income statement information from Hamilton Bancorp’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2018, included in Hamilton Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2018 and Hamilton Bancorp’s unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Hamilton Bancorp’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The financial condition and results of Orrstown Financial Services also include the effect of the acquisition of Mercersburg, which was completed on October 1, 2018. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 is presented as if the Orrstown Financial Services and Mercersburg merger had occurred on September 30, 2018. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 are presented as if the Mercersburg merger had occurred on January 1, 2017. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the Mercersburg merger and, with respect to the income statement only, expected to have a continuing impact on consolidated results of operations, and, as such, Orrstown Financial Services’ one-time merger costs for the Mercersburg merger are not included. Certain historical financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. In addition, the financial condition and results of operations of Orrstown Financial Services also include the effect of a subordinated debt issuance which was completed on December 19, 2018. The proceeds of the issuance are intended to be used for general corporate purposes, including payment of the cash consideration for the Hamilton Bancorp acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements are provided for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements are not necessarily, and should not be assumed to be, an indication of the results that would have been achieved had the mergers been completed as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(all amounts are in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise indicated)

Note 1 – Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 and the unaudited pro forma combined statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are based on the historical financial statements of Orrstown Financial Services, Mercersburg and Hamilton Bancorp after giving effect to the completion of the mergers and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. Such financial statements do not reflect cost savings or operating synergies expected to result from the mergers, or the costs to achieve these cost savings or operating synergies, or any anticipated disposition of assets that may result from the integration of the operations of the three companies.

The financial condition and results of Orrstown Financial Services also include the effect of the acquisition of Mercersburg, which was completed on October 1, 2018. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 is presented as if the Orrstown Financial Services and Mercersburg merger had occurred on September 30, 2018. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 are presented as if the Mercersburg merger had occurred on January 1, 2017. Certain historical financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation, including reclassifications to conform Hamilton Bancorp’s March 31 fiscal year end to Orrstown Financial Services’ December 31 fiscal year end.

The financial condition and results of operations of Orrstown Financial Services also include the effect of a subordinated debt issuance which was completed on December 19, 2018. The proceeds of the issuance are intended to be used for general corporate purposes, including payment of the cash consideration for the Hamilton Bancorp acquisition.

The transaction will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). In business combination transactions in which the consideration given is not in the form of cash (that is, in the form of non-cash assets, liabilities incurred, or equity interests issued), measurement of the acquisition consideration is based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the asset (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable.

Under ASC 805, all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized at their acquisition-date fair value, while transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. Changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally affect income tax expense. Subsequent to the completion of the merger, Orrstown Financial Services and Hamilton Bancorp will finalize an integration plan, which may affect how the assets acquired, including intangible assets, will be utilized by the combined company. For those assets in the combined company that will be phased out or will no longer be used, additional amortization, depreciation and possibly impairment charges will be recorded after management completes the integration plan.

The unaudited pro forma information is presented solely for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved for the periods or dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of the combined company.

Note 3 – Preliminary Estimated Acquisition Consideration Allocation

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total acquisition consideration is allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of Hamilton Bancorp and Mercersburg based on their estimated fair values as of the closing of the mergers. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for each acquisition, if any, is allocated to goodwill.

The allocation of the estimated acquisition consideration with regard to Hamilton Bancorp is preliminary because the proposed merger has not yet been completed. The allocation of the estimated acquisition consideration with regard to Mercersburg is preliminary because, although the merger was completed October 1, 2018, the merger purchase accounting has not yet been finalized. The preliminary allocation is based on estimates, assumptions, valuations, and other studies that

178

##### Table of Contents

have not progressed to a stage where there is sufficient information to make a definitive allocation. Accordingly, the acquisition consideration allocation adjustments will remain preliminary until Orrstown Financial Services management determines the final acquisition consideration and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final determination of the acquisition consideration allocation is anticipated to be completed as soon as practicable after the completion of the Hamilton Bancorp merger and will be based on the value of the Orrstown Financial Services common stock at the closing of the respective mergers. The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could differ significantly from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements.

The total preliminary estimated acquisition consideration as shown in the tables above is allocated to Hamilton Bancorp’s and Mercersburg’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2018 based on their preliminary estimated fair values as follows (dollars are in the thousands).

|  | Mercersburg |  |  | Hamilton Bancorp |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 17,183 |  |  | $ | 22,525 |
Restricted investments in bank stocks |  |  | 253 |  |  |  | 2,782 |

Approximately $5,100 and $3,840 for Hamilton Bancorp and Mercersburg, respectively, have been preliminarily allocated to amortizable intangible assets acquired. The amortization related to the preliminary fair value of net amortizable intangible assets is reflected as a pro forma adjustment to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

Identifiable intangible assets. The preliminary fair values of intangible assets were determined based on the provisions of ASC 805, which defines fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Intangible assets were identified that met either the separability criterion or the contractual-legal criterion described in ASC 805. The preliminary allocation to intangible assets is allocated to core deposit intangibles.

Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the preliminary estimated acquisition consideration over the preliminary fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets. Among the factors that contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets are the experience and expertise of personnel, operations, customer base and organizational cultures that can be leveraged to enable the combined company to build an enterprise greater than the sum of its parts. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, goodwill will not be amortized, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate a possible impairment. In the event management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, the combined company will incur an accounting charge for the amount of the impairment during the period in which the determination is made.

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 7, 2012 to serve as the stock holding company for Hamilton Bank (the “Bank”), a federally chartered savings bank. On October 10, 2012, the Bank converted from a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank and became the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the conversion, the Company sold 3,703,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, through which the Company received proceeds of approximately $35,580,000, net of offering expenses of approximately $1,450,000. The Bank’s employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”) purchased 8.0% of the shares sold in the offering, or 296,240 common shares. The purchase of shares by the ESOP was funded by a loan from the Company. The company’s common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the trading symbol “HBK” on October 12, 2012.

On December 21, 2017, the Bank converted its charter from a federal savings bank to a Maryland state-chartered commercial bank and now operates under the laws of the State of Maryland. In conjunction with the Bank’s charter conversion, Hamilton Bancorp converted from a savings and loan holding company to a bank holding company. The charter conversion is part of the Bank’s strategic plan which will allow it to continue to focus on growth opportunities in commercial, consumer and mortgage lending as well as small business and retail banking. The Maryland Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation will serve as the Bank’s primary regulator with federal oversight provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Hamilton Bancorp will continue to be regulated by the Federal Reserve Board.

On October 23, 2018, the Company and Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. (“Orrstown”), the parent company of Orrstown Bank located in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, signed a definitive agreement and plan of merger under which the Company will merge with and into Orrstown, with Orrstown as the surviving company. Immediately, thereafter, Hamilton Bank will merge with and into Orrstown Bank, with Orrstown Bank as the surviving institution. At the effective time of the merger, each share of Hamilton Bancorp’s common stock will be converted into the right to receive (1) $4.10 in cash, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Merger Agreement and (2) 0.54 shares of common stock of Orrstown. The Merger Agreement provides each party with specified termination rights. If the Merger is not consummated under specified circumstances, Hamilton Bancorp has agreed to pay Orrstown a termination fee of $2.2 million. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of calendar 2019.

On May 13, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of Fraternity Community Bancorp, Inc. (“Fraternity”) through the merger of Fraternity, the parent company of Fraternity Federal Savings and Loan, with and into the Company pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of October 12, 2015, by and between the Company and Fraternity. As a result of the merger, each shareholder of Fraternity received a cash payment equal to nineteen dollars and twenty-five cents ($19.25) for each share of Fraternity common stock, or an aggregate of approximately $25.7 million. Immediately following the merger of Fraternity into the Company, Fraternity Federal Savings and Loan was merged with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving entity.

On September 11, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. (“Fairmount Bancorp”) through the merger of Fairmount Bancorp, the parent company of Fairmount Bank, with and into the Company pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 15, 2015, by and between the Company and Fairmount Bancorp. As a result of the merger, each shareholder of Fairmount Bancorp received a cash payment equal to thirty dollars ($30.00) for each share of Fairmount Bancorp common stock, or an aggregate of approximately $15.4 million. Immediately following the merger of Fairmount Bancorp into the Company, Fairmount Bank was merged with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving entity.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Hamilton Bancorp is a holding company that operates a community bank with seven branches in the Baltimore-metropolitan area. Its primary deposit products are certificates of deposit and demand, savings, checking, and money market accounts. Its primary lending products consist of real estate mortgages, along with commercial and consumer loans. Hamilton Bancorp’s primary source of revenue is derived from loans to customers, who are predominately small and middle-market businesses and middle-income individuals.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with instructions for Form 10–Q and Regulation S–X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the preceding unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. We derived the balances as of March 31, 2018 from audited financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, or any other period. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2018.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary (“Hamilton”) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and to general practices in the banking industry. The more significant policies follow:

Principles of Consolidation . The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Hamilton Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly 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, deferred income tax valuation allowances, the fair value of investment securities and other than temporary impairment of investment securities.

Investment Securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of investment securities at the time of purchase. Securities that may be sold before maturity are classified as available for sale and carried at fair value. Investment securities that management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost. All investment securities held by Hamilton at September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 were classified as available for sale.

Investment securities designated as available for sale are stated at estimated fair value based on quoted market prices. They represent those securities which management may sell as part of its asset/liability strategy or that may be sold in response to changing interest rates or liquidity needs. Changes in unrealized gains and losses, net of related deferred taxes, for available-for-sale securities are recorded in other comprehensive income. Realized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities are included in noninterest revenue and, when applicable, are reported as a reclassification adjustment in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined by the specific identification method. The amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts are recognized in interest revenue using methods approximating the interest method over the term of the security.

HAMILTON BANCORP, INC., AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Loans Held For Sale . Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value. Fair value is determined based on outstanding investor commitments, or in the absence of such commitments, based on current investor yield requirements. Gains and losses on loan sales are determined by the specific-identification method.

Loans Receivable. The Bank makes mortgage, commercial, and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans throughout the Baltimore metropolitan area. The ability of the Bank’s debtors to repay their loans is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.

Loans are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balance adjusted for the allowance for loan loss, premiums on loans acquired, and/or any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest revenue is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees and the direct costs of underwriting and closing loans are recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to yield using a method that approximates the interest method. Any differences that arise from prepayment will result in a recalculation of the effective yield.

Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when they are 90 days past due. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status at an earlier date if the collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status are reversed against interest revenue. The interest on nonaccrual loans is accounted for on the cash basis method, until the loans qualify for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and, in management’s judgment, future payments are reasonably assured.

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information, management considers it unlikely that collection of principal and interest payments will be made according to contractual terms. If collection of principal is evaluated as doubtful, all payments are applied to principal. Impaired loans are measured: (i) at the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (ii) at the observable market price; or (iii) at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, an impairment is recognized through an allocation of the allowance for loan losses and corresponding provision for loan losses. Generally, identified impairments are charged-off against the allowance for loan losses.

Troubled debt restructurings are loans for which Hamilton, for legal or economic reasons related to a debtor’s financial difficulties, has granted a concession to the debtor that it otherwise would not have considered. Concessions that result in the categorization of a loan as a troubled debt restructuring include:

| • |  | Reduction of the stated interest rate;

| • |  | Extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk;

| • |  | Reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the instrument or other agreement; or

| • |  | Reduction of accrued interest.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses represents an amount which, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable future losses on existing loans. The allowance for loan losses is established, as loan 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. Recoveries on previously charged-off loans are credited to the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions charged to income and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and current economic conditions. The look back period for historical losses consists of reviewing a 48 month look back period for net charge-offs. Prior to September 30, 2018, we reviewed both a 36 and 48 month look back period individually for net charge-offs to develop a range in which the allowance for loan losses should be within. The range has grown smaller over the past year to a point where the difference in the two calculations of the allowance for loan loss is deemed immaterial. As a result, and for efficiency purposes, we began to only utilize a historical charge-off period of 48 months in determining the necessary allowance for loan losses. We believe, although similar in amount, that a 48-month period is more representative of our charge-off history. This period may change in the future depending on the performance of the loan portfolio. In addition, we also adjusted the environmental factors of the legacy and acquired loan portfolios so that they are not the same for each loan portfolio going forward. The environmental factors for each acquired loan portfolio and the legacy loan portfolio will be evaluated on their own merits so as to stand on their own characteristics. These changes at September 30, 2018 resulted in additional provisions of $294,000 and were primarily related to the acquired loan portfolios and the adjustment of their environmental factors.

Management considers a number of factors in estimating the required level of the allowance. These factors include: historical loss experience in the loan portfolios; the levels and trends in past-due and nonaccrual loans; the status of nonaccrual loans and other loans identified as having the potential for further deterioration; credit risk and industry concentrations; trends in loan volume; the effects of any changes in lending policies and procedures or underwriting standards; and a continuing evaluation of the economic environment. As part of the estimation process, management keeps the net charge-off history as a percentage of loans, as it pertains to each loan segment, constant across all risk ratings and alters the qualitative factors either up or down based upon the respective risk rating for each loan segment.

Foreclosed Real Estate. Real estate acquired through foreclosure or other means is recorded at the lower of its carrying value or the fair value of the related real estate collateral less estimated selling costs. Losses in estimated fair value incurred at the time of acquisition of the property are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent reductions in the estimated fair value of the property are included in noninterest expense. Costs to maintain foreclosed real estate are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Intangible assets, consisting of core deposit intangibles, represent purchased assets that also lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights or because the asset may be sold or exchanged on its own or in combination with a related contract, asset, or liability. Core deposit intangibles are amortized on an accelerated basis over an eight-year period. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated on an annual basis to determine impairment, if any. Any impairment of goodwill would be recognized against income in the period of impairment.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities . Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. The Company documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions.

For derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges, the Company also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. The effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of operations as a gain or loss. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the consolidated statement of operations as a gain or loss to income.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

For derivative instruments designated as fair-value hedges, the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations under the same heading as the change in fair value of the hedged item for the portion attributable to the hedged risk. For accounting purposes, if the derivative is highly effective, the change in fair values relating to the asset or liability and the hedged item will offset one another and result in no impact to overall income.

Gains (losses) on derivatives representing either hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness or hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in earnings.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers . We record revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”). Under Topic 606, we must identify the contract with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. Significant revenue has not been recognized in the current reporting period that results from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. Our primary sources of revenue are derived from interest and dividends earned on loans, investment securities, and other financial instruments that are not within the scope of Topic 606. We have evaluated the nature of our contracts with customers and determined that further disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers into more granular categories beyond what is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operation was not necessary. Contracts with customers are generally fully satisfied in regard to performance obligations as services are rendered and the transaction prices are typically fixed; charged either on a periodic basis or based on activity. Because performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered and the transaction prices are fixed, there is little judgment involved in applying Topic 606 that significantly affects the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers.

Stock Based Compensation. Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees and directors, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Income Taxes. The Bank recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Earnings Per Common Share. Basic earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Weighted average shares exclude unallocated ESOP shares. Diluted earnings per share includes 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 relate to outstanding stock options, restricted stock, and warrants and are determined using the treasury stock method.

Note 2: New Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This ASU’s objectives are to: (1) improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity’s risk management activities by better aligning the entity’s financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities; and (2) reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-12 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in this Update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will evaluate the guidance in this update but does not expect it to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This update removes the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. As a result, under the ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This guidance clarifies the definition of a business and assists entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under this guidance, when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business. In addition, in order to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include at a minimum an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output. The amended guidance also narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in FASB guidance for revenue recognition. This guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective April 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update addresses diversity on how certain cash receipts and payments are reflected in the statement of cash flows. The update made the following changes that may affect the Company: (1) Debt Prepayment or Debt Extinguishment Costs: Cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs should be classified as cash flows for financing activities. (2) Proceeds from the settlement of Bank-Owned Life Insurance Policies: Cash proceeds received from the settlement of bank-owned life insurance policies should be classified as cash flows from investing activities. The cash payments for premiums on bank-owned policies may be classified as cash flows from investing activities, operating activities, or a combination of investing and operating activities. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The company adopted this guidance April 1, 2018, which did not result in a change in the classification in the statement of cash flows and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The main objective of this update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the guidance in this update replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. The guidance in this update for public business entities is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements. Hamilton Bancorp is in the process of implementing a committee and has begun to gather loan information and consider acceptable methodologies to comply with this ASU. The implementation team will meet periodically to discuss the latest developments and updates via webcasts, publications, and conferences. Due to the pending merger with Orrstown, we will not be entering into a contract with an outside vendor as originally planned to assist with implementing CECL due to the timing of required adoption and the pending merger. If the merger agreement is terminated for any reason, the Company will engage an outside vendor at that time to assist with the implementation of this pronouncement utilizing information we have continued to gather.

ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). From the lessee’s perspective, the new ASU standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for lessees. The guidance also eliminates the current real estate-specific provision and changes the guidance on sale-leaseback transactions, initial direct costs and lease executory costs. With respect to lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. All entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease-related revenue and expense. In applying this guidance entities will also need to determine whether an arrangement contains a lease or service agreement. Disclosures are required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financials statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public entities, this guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective transition method for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements.

In July 2018, as a follow-up to ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842), the Board issued ASU No. 2018-10 – Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases to clarify the codification associated with ASU 2016-02 or to correct unintended application of guidance. The amendments in this Update are of a similar nature to the items typically addressed in the Codification improvements project and affect narrow aspects of the guidance issued in the amendments in Update 2016-02. The Update addresses sixteen separate issues under the guidance that provide a clearer understanding as to intent and application of the guidance. The Company is assessing the guidance under ASU 2016-02 and 2018-10 to determine its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) – Targeted Improvement s . The purpose of this ASU is to update ASU 2016-02 to address stakeholders concerns regarding comparative reporting and separating components of a lease contract for lessors. For comparative reporting, entities are required under ASU 2016-02 to use a modified retrospective transition method. Due to issues in implementing, the Board decided to provide another transition method that allows companies to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date versus retrospectively and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The amendments in this update also provides lessors a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component, similar to the expedient provided by lessees. However, the lessor practical expedient is limited to circumstances in which the nonlease component or components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue guidance and both (1) the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the nonlease component(s) and associated lease component and (2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. The Company is assessing this guidance in conjunction with ASU 2016-02 to determine its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities . This ASU requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, excluding equity investments that are consolidated or accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The amendment allows equity investments without readily determinable fair values to be measured at cost minus impairment, with a qualitative assessment required to identify impairment. The amendment also requires public companies to use exit prices to measure the fair value of financial instruments purposes; requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statement; it eliminates the disclosure requirements related to measurement assumptions for the fair value of instruments measured at amortized cost. In addition, for liabilities measured at fair value under the fair value option, to present in other comprehensive income changes in fair value due to changes in instrument specific credit risk. The Company’s management engaged a third-party expert in the field of valuation and reporting to assist management and ensure adequate documentation of financial controls and analysis performed in its review of “exit pricing” of the fair values of loans, deposits, and other financial instruments. This ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this ASU effective April 1, 2018. With the adoption of this ASU, equity securities can no longer be classified as available for sale, and as such marketable equity securities are disclosed as a separate line item on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition with changes in the fair value of equity securities reflected in net income. At September 30, 2018 the Company did not have any equity securities. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we began using an exit price notion when measuring the fair value of our loan portfolio, excluding loans held for sale, for disclosure purposes. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The guidance in this ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. This ASU does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments including loans and securities that are accounted for under U.S. GAAP. Consequently, adoption of the ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures since the primary source of revenue for the Company is derived from interest and dividends earned on loans, investment securities and other financial instruments that are outside the scope of the ASU. The Company has assessed its revenue streams and reviewed its contracts with customers that are affected by the new guidance. This includes fees on deposits, gains and losses on the sale of foreclosed real estate, credit and debit card interchange fees, merchant card services, and administrative services for customer deposit account such as ATM and wire transfer transactions. The Company’s revenue recognition pattern for revenue streams within the scope of the ASU has not changed significantly from current practice and is immaterial to our financial statements. This guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance effective April 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3: Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Weighted average shares exclude unallocated ESOP shares. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

Both the basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are summarized below:

The unrealized losses that exist are a result of market changes in interest rates since the original purchase. Management systematically evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on an annual basis from the date of purchase if the respective security is in a loss position. This analysis requires management to consider various factors, which include (1) duration and magnitude of the decline in value, (2) the financial condition of the issuer or issuers and (3) structure of the security.

An impairment loss is recognized in earnings if any of the following are true: (1) the Company intends to sell the debt security; (2) 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 Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. In situations where the Company intends to sell or when it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security, the entire impairment loss must be recognized in earnings. In all other situations, only the portion of the impairment loss representing the credit loss must be recognized in earnings, with the remaining portion being recognized in shareholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred tax.

(1) | As a result of the acquisition of Fraternity Community Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of Fraternity Federal Savings and Loan, in May 2016 and Fairmount Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of Fairmount Bank, in September 2015, we have segmented the portfolio into two components, loans originated by Hamilton Bank “Legacy” and loans acquired from Fraternity Community Bancorp, Inc. and Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. “Acquired”.

(2) | “Legacy” one-to four-family residential real estate loans at March 31, 2018 includes $19.2 million of various loan pools purchased in the second half of fiscal 2018.

(3) | “Investor” loans are residential mortgage loans secured by non-owner occupied one-to four-family properties.

(4) | “Legacy” commercial business loans at March 31, 2018 includes a $15.5 million pool of commercial lease loans purchased in June 2017 and $3.2 million in guaranteed SBA loans purchased in second half of fiscal 2018.

(5) | “Legacy” consumer loans at March 31, 2018 includes $19.9 million of purchased loan pools consisting of recreational vehicles that were purchased in August and December 2017.

Residential lending is generally considered to involve less risk than other forms of lending, although payment experience on these loans is dependent on economic and market conditions in the Bank’s lending area. Construction loan repayments are generally dependent on the related properties or the financial condition of its borrower or guarantor. Accordingly, repayment of such loans can be more susceptible to adverse conditions in the real estate market and the regional economy.

A substantial portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio is real estate loans secured by residential and commercial real estate properties located in the Baltimore metropolitan area. Loans are extended only after evaluation of a customer’s creditworthiness and other relevant factors on a case-by-case basis. The Bank generally does not lend more than 75% – 95% of the appraised value of a property, depending on the type of loan, and requires private mortgage insurance on residential mortgages with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%. In addition, the Bank generally obtains personal guarantees of repayment from borrowers and/or others for construction loans and disburses the proceeds of those and similar loans only as work progresses on the related projects.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Commercial business loans are made to provide funds for equipment and general corporate needs. Repayment of a loan primarily uses the funds obtained from the operation of the borrower’s business. Commercial loans also include lines of credit that are utilized to finance a borrower’s short-term credit needs and/or to finance a percentage of eligible receivables and inventory. The Company’s loan portfolio also includes equipment leases, which consists of leases for essential commercial equipment used by small to medium sized businesses.

The home equity loans consist of both conforming loans and revolving lines of credit to consumers which are secured by residential real estate. These loans are typically secured with second mortgages on the homes. Consumer loans include share loans, installment loans and, to a lesser extent, personal lines of credit. Share loans represent loans that are collateralized by a certificate of deposit or other deposit product. Installment loans are used by customers to purchase primarily automobiles; but may be used to also purchase boats and recreational vehicles.

The following table details activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The allowance for loan losses allocated to each portfolio segment is not necessarily indicative of future losses in any particular portfolio segment and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in other portfolio segments.

Although we do not accrue interest income at the contractual rate on these loans, we do recognize an accretable yield as interest income to the extent such yield is supported by cash flow analysis of the underlying loans.

|  | September 30, 2018 |  |  | September 30, 2017 |

Accretable yield, end of period |  | $ | 29,806 |  |  | $ | 58,914 |

Impaired loans also include certain loans that have been modified in troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Bank’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. Generally, nonaccrual loans that are modified and considered TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months.

A summary of TDRs at September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 follows:

September 30, 2018 |  | Number of contracts |  |  | Performing |  |  | Nonperforming |  |  | Total |

There are no commitments to extend credit under existing TDRs as of September 30, 2018.

There were no TDRs that defaulted in the three or six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Payment default under a TDR is defined as any TDR that is 90 days or more past due following the time that the loan was modified or the inability of the TDR to make the required payment subsequent to the modification.

In calculating the allowance for loan losses, individual TDRs are evaluated for impairment. TDRs are evaluated for impairment based upon either the present value of cash flows or, if collateral dependent, the lower of cost or fair value of the underlying collateral. If it is determined that the cash flows or underlying collateral is less than the carrying amount of the loan, the difference in value will be charged-off through earnings, unless the TDR is performing, in which case a specific reserve may be set-up for that TDR.

Credit quality indicators

As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to the risk grade of loans, the level of classified loans, net charge offs, nonperforming loans, and the general economic conditions in the Bank’s market.

The Bank utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. A description of the general characteristics of loans characterized as watch list or classified is as follows:

Pass

A pass loan is considered of sufficient quality to preclude a special mention or an adverse rating. Pass assets generally are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the asset or underlying collateral.

Special Mention

A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Loans that would primarily fall into this notational category could have been previously classified adversely, but the deficiencies have since been corrected. Management should closely monitor recent payment history of the loan and value of the collateral.

Borrowers may exhibit poor liquidity and leverage positions resulting from generally negative cash flow or negative trends in earnings. Access to alternative financing may be limited to finance companies for business borrowers and may be unavailable for commercial real estate borrowers.

Substandard

A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the collection or liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. This will be the measurement for determining if a loan is impaired.

Borrowers may exhibit recent or unexpected unprofitable operations, an inadequate debt service coverage ratio, or marginal liquidity and capitalization. These loans require more intense supervision by Bank management.

Doubtful

A doubtful loan has all the weaknesses inherent as a substandard loan with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. A loan classified as doubtful exhibits loss potential. However, there is still sufficient reason to permit the loan to remain on the books. A doubtful classification could reflect the deterioration of the primary source of repayment and serious doubt exists as to the quality of the secondary source of repayment.

Doubtful classifications should be used only when a distinct and known possibility of loss exists. When identified, adequate loss should be recorded for the specific assets. The entire asset should not be classified as doubtful if a partial recovery is expected, such as liquidation of the collateral or the probability of a private mortgage insurance payment is likely.

Loss

Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectable and of such little value that their continuance as loans is unjustified. A loss classification does not mean a loan has absolutely no value; partial recoveries may be received in the future. When loans or portions of a loan are considered a loss, it will be the policy of the Bank to write-off the amount designated as a loss. Recoveries will be treated as additions to the allowance for loan losses.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

In the normal course of business, the Bank has various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Loan commitments and lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition to the contract. Mortgage loan commitments generally have fixed interest rates, fixed expiration dates, and may require payment of a fee. Other loan commitments generally have fixed interest rates. Lines of credit generally have variable interest rates. Such lines do not represent future cash requirements because it is unlikely that all customers will draw upon their lines in full at any time.

The Bank’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer is the contractual amount of the credit commitment. Loan commitments, lines of credit, and letters of credit are made on the same terms, including collateral, as outstanding loans. The Bank has established an off-balance sheet reserve for potential losses associated with any outstanding commitment or unused line of credit. The off-balance sheet reserve is a percentage of the outstanding commitment or unused line of credit that is based upon a discounted charge-off history associated with each respective loan segment. The reserve at September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 totaled $52,000 and $50,000, respectively. At September 30, 2018, management is not aware of any accounting loss to be incurred by funding these loan commitments at this time.

The Bank had the following outstanding commitments and unused lines of credit as of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018:

|  | September 30, |  |  | March 31, |
Outstanding Commitment and Used Lines of Credit |  | 2018 |  |  | 2018 |

Note 6: Goodwill and Other Intangible Asset

The Company’s intangible assets (goodwill and core deposit intangible) at September 30, 2018 consisted of assets recorded in December 2009 associated with the acquisition of a branch office in Pasadena, Maryland and the acquisition of Fairmount and Fraternity in September 2015 and May 2016, respectively. Only the goodwill related to the branch office acquisition in the amount of $2.7 million is deductible for tax purposes. We conducted our annual impairment test of goodwill as of December 31, 2017. In addition, due to the significant increase in tax expense resulting from the recording of a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, we concluded that a triggering event had occurred. Therefore, we performed an additional goodwill impairment analysis as of March 31, 2018. Based upon the impairment tests performed as of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018, the fair values exceeded the carrying values of our only reporting unit. As a result, no impairment to goodwill was recorded for the 2018 fiscal year. The core deposit intangible assets are being amortized straight-line over a life of eight years.

Note 7: Derivative – Interest Rate Swap Agreement

The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements. The Company posted $758,000 and $751,000 under collateral arrangements as of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively, to satisfy collateral requirements associated with the risk exposure associated with all interest rate swap agreements.

Interest Rate SWAPS Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

During fiscal 2017, the Company entered into several interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swaps have notional amounts totaling $11.6 million as of September 30, 2018 and were designated as cash flow hedges of certain Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The purpose of the cash flow hedges is to match-fund longer-term assets with longer-term borrowings to reduce potential interest rate risk and cost by swapping a variable rate borrowing for a fixed rate borrowing. The aggregate fair value of the swaps is recorded in other assets (liabilities) with changes in fair value associated with the effective portion recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and the ineffective portion recorded in other non-interest income (expense). The cash flow hedges were determined to be ineffective beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2017. As such, a gain of $540 and $921 of ineffectiveness has been reported in noninterest revenue for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to a loss of $3,679 reported as an offset to noninterest revenue for the three and six-month period ended September 30, 2017.

Interest Rate SWAPS Designated as Fair Value Hedges

The derivative position relates to a transaction in which the Bank entered into an interest rate swap with another financial institution using a fixed rate commercial real estate loan as an offset. The Bank agrees to pay the other financial institution a fixed interest rate on a notional amount based upon the commercial real estate loan and in return receive a variable interest rate on the same notional amount. This transaction allows the Bank to effectively convert a fixed rate loan to a variable rate. Because the terms of the swap with the other financial institution and the commercial real estate loan offset each other, with the only difference being credit risk associated with the loan, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contract and the commercial real estate loan are not materially different and do not significantly impact the Bank’s results of operations.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company entered into the interest rate swap agreement with a $3.3 million notional amount to convert a fixed rate commercial real estate loan at 3.99% into a variable rate for a term of approximately 10 years. The notional amount of the interest rate swap and the offsetting commercial real estate loan were $3.0 million at September 30, 2018. The derivative is designated as a fair value hedge.

Credit risk arises from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Bank’s exposure is limited to the replacement value of the contract rather than the notional amount, principal, or contract amount. There are provisions in the agreement with the counterparty that allow for certain unsecured credit exposure up to an agreed threshold. Exposures in excess of the agreed threshold are collateralized. In addition, the Bank minimizes credit risk through credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures.

Note 9: Lines of Credit and Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

The Bank may borrow up to $5.0 million from a correspondent bank under a secured federal funds line of credit and $1.0 million under an unsecured federal funds line of credit. The Bank would be required to pledge investment securities to draw upon the secured line of credit. There were no borrowings under these lines of credit at September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018.

Borrowings consist of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The Bank may borrow up to 25 percent of its assets under a line of credit agreement with the FHLB. Advances under the line of credit are secured by certain loans owned by the Bank. As of September 30, 2018, and March 31, 2018, the Bank had $76.7 million and $68.3 million, respectively, of available credit from the FHLB. Advances are limited by the balance of loans available for pledge. The amount of loans that were deemed eligible to pledge as collateral totaled $117.5 million at September 30, 2018 and $127.1 million at March 31, 2018. As a condition of obtaining the line of credit from the FHLB, the FHLB also requires the Bank purchase shares of capital stock in the FHLB. Information relating to borrowings at September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 is presented below.

Note 10: Regulatory Capital Ratios

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for Hamilton Bank on January 1, 2015 (subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions). Quantitative measures established by the Basel III Capital Rules to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Total capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average assets (as defined).

In connection with the adoption of the Basel III Capital Rules, we elected to opt-out of the requirement to include accumulated other comprehensive income in Common Equity Tier 1. Common Equity Tier 1 for Hamilton Bank is reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets, net of associated deferred tax liabilities and subject to transition provisions.

Under the revised prompt corrective action requirements, as of January 1, 2015, insured depository institutions are required to meet the following in order to qualify as “well capitalized:” (1) a common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.5%; (2) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8%; (3) a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% and (4) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5%. As of September 30, 2018, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III Capital Rules to be considered “well capitalized” under prompt corrective action rules.

The implementation of the capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and is being phased in over a four-year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019). The Basel III Capital Rules also provide for a “countercyclical capital buffer” that is applicable to only certain covered institutions and does not have any current applicability to Hamilton Bank.

The aforementioned capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer (or below the combined capital conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer, when the latter is applied) will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.

As a result of the recently enacted Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”), banking regulatory agencies must adopt a revised definition of “well capitalized” for financial institutions and holding companies with assets of less than $10 billion and that are not determined to be ineligible by their primary federal regulator due to their risk profile (a “qualifying community bank”). The new definition will expand the ways that a qualifying community bank may meet its capital requirements and be deemed “well qualified.” The new rule will establish a “community bank leverage ratio” equal to the tangible equity capital divided by the average total consolidated assets. A qualifying community bank that exceeds a to-be-determined threshold for this new leverage ratio, which regulators must set at between 8% and 10%, will be considered to be well capitalized and to have met generally applicable leverage capital requirements, generally applicable risk-based capital requirements, and any other capital or leverage requirements to which such financial institution or holding company is subject.

In addition, as a result of the Act, the Federal Reserve Board amended its small bank holding company and savings and loan holding company policy statement to provide that holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $3 billion that are (i) not engaged in significant nonbanking activities, (ii) do not conduct significant off-balance sheet activities, and (iii) do not have a material amount of SEC-registered debt or equity securities, other than trust preferred securities, that contribute to an organization’s complexity, are no longer subject to regulatory capital requirements.

(1) | - Under prompt corrective action

Tier 1 capital consists of total shareholders’ equity less goodwill, intangible assets, and deferred tax net operating loss carryforwards. Total capital includes a limited amount of the allowance for loan losses and a portion of any unrealized gain on equity securities. In calculating risk-weighted assets, specified risk percentages are applied to each category of asset and off-balance-sheet items.

In its regulatory report filed as of September 30, 2018, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and was considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. Management is not aware of any events that would have caused this classification to change. Failure to meet the capital requirements could affect, among other things, the Bank’s ability to accept brokered deposits and may significantly affect the operations of the Bank. Management has no plans that should change the classification of the capital adequacy.

Note 11: Stock Based Compensation

In November 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved a new Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Equity Incentive Plan’’). The 2013 Equity Incentive Plan allows for up to 148,120 shares to be issued to employees, executive officers or Directors in the form of restricted stock, and up to 370,300 shares to be issued to employees, executive officers or Directors in the form of stock options. At September 30, 2018, there were 92,701 restricted stock awards issued and outstanding and 268,204 stock option awards granted under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

Stock Options:

Under the above plan, the exercise price for stock options is the market price at date of grant. The maximum option term is ten years and the options granted shall vest in five equal annual installments of 20% with the first installment becoming exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant and succeeding installments on each anniversary thereafter. The Company plans to issue new shares to satisfy share option exercises. The total cost that has been incurred for the stock option plan was $61,514 and $123,028 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 and $57,392 and $114,784 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical data. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury rate equal to the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant.

The fair value of options granted to date was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of grant date.

Grant Date |  | Number of Options Granted |  |  | Risk Free Interest Rate |  |  | Expected Term (in years) |  |  | Expected Stock Price Volatility |  |  | Dividend Yield |  |  | Fair Value of Options Granted |
February 3, 2014 |  |  | 225,150 |  |  |  | 2.07 | % |  |  | 7.0 |  |  |  | 27.30 | % |  |  | 0.00 | % |  | $ | 4.65 |

As of September 30, 2018, there was $207,678 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. The intrinsic value of a stock option is the amount that the market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option. Based upon a fair market value of $14.31 at September 30, 2018, the options outstanding had an intrinsic value of $117,650.

Restricted Stock:

The specific terms of each restricted stock award are determined by the Compensation Committee at the date of the grant. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at the grant date. Restricted stock awards granted shall vest in five equal annual installments of 20% with the first installment becoming vested on the first anniversary of the date of grant and succeeding installments on each anniversary thereafter.

The following table presents a summary of the activity in the Company’s restricted stock for the periods ended:

Note 12: Fair Value Measurements

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and establish a hierarchy for determining fair value measurement. The hierarchy includes three levels and is based upon the valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 : Valuation is based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 : Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market; and

Level 3 : Valuation is derived from model-based techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

The following is a description of the valuation methods used for instruments measured at fair value as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the applicable valuation method.

Fair value measurements on a recurring basis

Securities available for sale – If quoted prices are available in an active market for identical assets, securities are classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. As of September 30, 2018, and March 31, 2018, the Bank has categorized its investment securities available for sale as follows:

September 30, 2018 |  | Level 1 inputs |  |  | Level 2 inputs |  |  | Level 3 inputs |  |  | Total |

Derivative – Interest rate swap agreements – The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2). The quantitative models that are used utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rates, and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services. As of September 30, 2018, and March 31, 2018, the bank has categorized its interest rate swaps and related loan as follows:

September 30, 2018 |  | Level 1 inputs |  |  | Level 2 inputs |  |  | Level 3 inputs |  |  | Total |

Fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis

Impaired Loans – The Bank has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values. As of September 30, 2018, and March 31, 2018, the fair values consist of loan balances of $8,561,924 and $8,720,339 that have been written down by $259,723 and $266,256, respectively, as a result of specific loan loss allowances.

Foreclosed real estate – The Bank’s foreclosed real estate is measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated cost to sell. At September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the fair value of foreclosed real estate was estimated to be $587,978 and $457,778, respectively. Fair value was determined based on offers and/or appraisals. Cost to sell the assets was based on standard market factors. The Company has categorized its foreclosed assets as Level 3.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance are estimated to equal the carrying amount.

The fair values of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and bank-owned life insurance are estimated to equal carrying amounts, which are based on repurchase prices of the FHLB stock and the insurance company.

Beginning in the first quarter 2018, the fair value of loans is determined using an exit price methodology as prescribed by ASU 2016-01, which became effective for the Company during in the first quarter ended June 30, 2018. The exit price estimation of fair value is based on the present value of the expected cash flows. The projected cash flows are based on the contractual terms of the loans, adjusted for prepayments and use of a discount rate based on the relative risk of the cash flows, taking into account the loan type, maturity of the loan, liquidity risk, servicing costs, and a required return on debt and capital (Level 3). In addition, an incremental liquidity discount is applied to certain loans, using historical sales of loans during periods of similar economic conditions as a benchmark. In comparison, loan fair values as of March 31, 2018 were estimated based on an entrance price methodology. As a result, the fair value adjustments as of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 are not comparable.

The fair value of certificates of deposit held as investments is estimated based on interest rates currently offered for certificates of deposit with similar remaining maturities.

The fair value of interest-bearing checking, savings, and money market deposit accounts is equal to the carrying amount due to these products having no stated maturity. The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated based on interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

The fair value of borrowings is estimated based on interest rates currently offered for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.

The fair value of outstanding loan commitments and unused lines of credit are considered to be the same as the contractual amount and are not included in the table above. These commitments generate fees that approximate those currently charged to originate similar commitments.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2018 and 2017 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting policies.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2018

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 7, 2012 to serve as the stock holding company for Hamilton Bank (the “Bank”), a federally chartered savings bank. On October 10, 2012, the Bank converted from a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank and became the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the conversion, the Company sold 3,703,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, through which the Company received proceeds of approximately $35,580,000, net of offering expenses of approximately $1,450,000. The Bank’s employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”) purchased 8.0% of the shares sold in the offering, or 296,240 common shares. The purchase of shares by the ESOP was funded by a loan from the Company. The company’s common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the trading symbol “HBK” on October 12, 2012.

On December 21, 2017, the Bank converted its charter from a federal savings bank to a Maryland state-chartered commercial bank and now operates under the laws of the State of Maryland. In conjunction with the Bank’s charter conversion, Hamilton Bancorp converted from a savings and loan holding company to a bank holding company. The charter conversion is part of the Bank’s strategic plan which will allow it to continue to focus on growth opportunities in commercial, consumer and mortgage lending as well as small business and retail banking. The Maryland Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation will serve as the Bank’s primary regulator with federal oversight provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Hamilton Bancorp will continue to be regulated by the Federal Reserve Board.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary (“Hamilton”) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and to general practices in the banking industry. The more significant policies follow:

Principles of Consolidation . The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Hamilton Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications. There were no reclassifications to prior year amounts in order to conform to current period classifications.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly 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, deferred income tax valuation allowances, the fair value of derivatives and investment securities, and other than temporary impairment of investment securities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks with original maturities of less than 90 days, brokerage money market accounts, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold as overnight investments.

Investment Securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of investment securities at the time of purchase. Securities that may be sold before maturity are classified as available for sale and carried at fair value. Investment securities that management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost. All investment securities held by Hamilton at March 31, 2018 and 2017 are classified as available for sale.

Investment securities designated as available for sale are stated at estimated fair value based on quoted market prices. They represent those securities which management may sell as part of its asset/liability strategy or that may be sold in response to changing interest rates or liquidity needs. Changes in unrealized gains and losses, net of related deferred taxes, for available for sale securities are recorded in other comprehensive income. Realized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities are included in noninterest revenue and, when applicable, are reported as a reclassification adjustment in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses on the sale of available for sale securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined by the specific identification method. The amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts are recognized in interest revenue using methods approximating the interest method over the term of the security.

In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock . Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (the “FHLB”) stock is an equity interest in the FHLB, which does not have a readily determinable fair value for purposes of generally accepted accounting principles, because its ownership is restricted and it lacks a market. FHLB stock is carried at cost, which approximates fair value and can be sold back only at par value of $100 per share and only to the FHLB or another member institution. As a member of the FHLB, the Bank is required to purchase stock based on its total assets. Additional stock is purchased and redeemed based on the outstanding FHLB advances to the Bank. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company owned shares totaling $3,122,400 and $2,020,200, respectively.

Loans Held For Sale . Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value. Fair value is determined based on outstanding investor commitments, or in the absence of such commitments, based on current investor yield requirements. Gains and losses on loan sales are determined by the specific-identification method.

Loans Receivable. The Bank makes mortgage, commercial, and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans throughout the Baltimore metropolitan area. The ability of the Bank’s debtors to repay their loans is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.

Loans are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balance adjusted for the allowance for loan loss, premiums on loans acquired, and/or any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest revenue is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees and the direct costs of underwriting and closing loans are recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to yield using a method that approximates the interest method. Any differences that arise from prepayment will result in a recalculation of the effective yield.

Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when they are 90 days past due. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status at an earlier date if the collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status are reversed against interest revenue. The interest on nonaccrual loans is accounted for on the cash basis method, until the loans qualify for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and, in management’s judgment, future payments are reasonably assured.

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information, management considers it unlikely that collection of principal and interest payments will be made according to contractual terms. If collection of principal is evaluated as doubtful, all payments are applied to principal. Impaired loans are measured: (i) at the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (ii) at the observable market price; or (iii) at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, an impairment is recognized through an allocation of the allowance for loan losses and corresponding provision for loan losses. Generally, identified impairments are charged-off against the allowance for loan losses.

Troubled debt restructurings are loans for which Hamilton, for legal or economic reasons related to a debtor’s financial difficulties, has granted a concession to the debtor that it otherwise would not have considered. Concessions that result in the categorization of a loan as a troubled debt restructuring include:

| • |  | Reduction of the stated interest rate;

| • |  | Extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk;

| • |  | Reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the instrument or other agreement; or

| • |  | Reduction of accrued interest

Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer. The loans acquired from the Company’s acquisition of Fraternity on May 13, 2016 (see Note 3 “Acquisition”) and Fairmount on September 11, 2015 were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and no separate valuation allowance was established. The initial fair values were determined by management, with the assistance of an independent valuation specialist, based on estimated expected cash flows discounted at appropriate rates. The discount rates were based on market rates for new originations of comparable loans and did not include a separate factor for loan losses as that was included in the estimated cash flows.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality , applies to loans acquired in a transfer with evidence of deterioration of credit quality for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. If both conditions exist, the Company determines whether to account for each loan individually or whether such loans will be assembled into pools based on common risk characteristics such as credit score, loan type, and origination date.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The Company considered expected prepayments and estimated the total expected cash flows, which included undiscounted expected principal and interest. The excess of that amount over the fair value of the loan is referred to as accretable yield. Accretable yield is recognized as interest income on a constant yield basis over the expected life of the loan. The excess of the contractual cash flows over expected cash flows is referred to as nonaccretable difference and is not accreted into income. Over the life of the loan, the Company continues to estimate expected cash flows. Subsequent decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairments in the current period through the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent increases in cash flows to be collected are first used to reverse any existing valuation allowance and any remaining increase are recognized prospectively through an adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life.

ASC Topic 310-20, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs , was applied to loans not considered to have deteriorated credit quality at acquisition. Under ASC Topic 310-20, the difference between the loan’s principal balance at the time of purchase and the fair value is recognized as an adjustment of yield over the life of the loan.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses represents an amount which, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable future losses on existing loans. The allowance for loan losses is established, as loan 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. Recoveries on previously charged-off loans are credited to the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions charged to income and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and current economic conditions. The look back period for historical losses consists of using both a 36 month and 48 month look back period for net charge-offs. Both of these periods are used individually to develop a range in which the allowance for loan loss should be within.

Management considers a number of factors in estimating the required level of the allowance. These factors include: historical loss experience in the loan portfolios; the levels and trends in past-due and nonaccrual loans; the status of nonaccrual loans and other loans identified as having the potential for further deterioration; credit risk and industry concentrations; trends in loan volume; the effects of any changes in lending policies and procedures or underwriting standards; and a continuing evaluation of the economic environment. Management modified the analysis during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 by keeping our net charge-off history as a percentage of loans, as it pertains to each loan segment, constant across all risk ratings and altering our qualitative factors either up or down based upon the respective risk rating for each loan segment. The change in methodology did not have a material impact on the amount of the allowance for loan and lease losses at September 30, 2016, the date of the change, as compared to the prior methodology.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI). The Bank purchased single premium life insurance policies on certain employees of the Bank. The net cash surrender value of those policies is included in the accompanying statement of financial position. Appreciation in the value of the insurance policies is recognized as noninterest revenue and is nontaxable. Upon the death of an employee covered under one or more BOLI policies, the full amount of the insurance policy is paid-out to the Bank and the difference between the policy amount and the cash surrender value of the policy or policies is recognized as noninterest revenue. This income is also nontaxable.

Premises and Equipment. Land is carried at cost. Buildings, land improvements, leasehold improvements, and furniture and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the useful lives of the improvements. Maintenance and normal repairs are charged to noninterest expense as incurred, while additions and improvements to buildings and furniture and equipment are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposition of assets are reflected in earnings.

Foreclosed Real Estate. Real estate acquired through foreclosure or other means is recorded at the lower of its carrying value or the fair value of the related real estate collateral less estimated selling costs. Losses in estimated fair value incurred at the time of acquisition of the property are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent reductions in the estimated fair value of the property are included in noninterest expense. Costs to maintain foreclosed real estate are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Intangible assets, consisting of core deposit intangibles, represent purchased assets that also lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights or because the asset may be sold or exchanged on its own or in combination with a related contract, asset, or liability. Core deposit intangibles are amortized on an accelerated basis over an eight-year period. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated on an annual basis to determine impairment, if any. Any impairment of goodwill would be recognized against income in the period of impairment.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities . Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. The Company documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions.

For derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges, the Company also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. The effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of operations as a gain or loss. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the consolidated statement of operations as a gain or loss to income.

For derivative instruments designated as fair-value hedges, the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations under the same heading as the change in fair value of the hedged item for the portion attributable to the hedged risk. For accounting purposes, if the derivative is highly effective, the change in fair values relating to the asset or liability and the hedged item will offset one another and result in no impact to overall income.

Gains (losses) on derivatives representing either hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness or hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in earnings.

Off-Balance-Sheet Credit-Related Financial Instruments. In the ordinary course of business, the Bank enters into commitments to extend credit, including commitments under standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded or otherwise required to be recognized.

Advertising Costs . Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in non-interest expenses.

Stock Based Compensation. Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees and directors, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Income Taxes. The Bank recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Earnings Per Common Share. Basic earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Weighted average shares exclude unallocated ESOP shares. Diluted earnings per share includes 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 relate to outstanding stock options, restricted stock, and warrants and are determined using the treasury stock method.

Note 2: New Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This ASU’s objectives are to: (1) improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity’s risk management activities by better aligning the entity’s financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities; and (2) reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-12 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This update removes the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. As a result, under the ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This guidance clarifies the definition of a business and assists entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under this guidance, when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business. In addition, in order to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include at a minimum an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output. The amended guidance also narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in FASB guidance for revenue recognition. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update addresses diversity on how certain cash receipts and payments are reflected in the statement of cash flows. The update made the following changes that may affect the Company: (1) Debt Prepayment or Debt Extinguishment Costs: Cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs should be classified as cash flows for financing activities. (2) Proceeds from the settlement of Bank-Owned Life Insurance Policies: Cash proceeds received from the settlement of bank-owned life insurance policies should be classified as cash flows from investing activities. The cash payments for premiums on bank-owned policies may be classified as cash flows from investing activities, operating activities, or a combination of investing and operating activities. The amendments in this Update will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a significant impact on its consolidated statement of cash flows.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The main objective of this update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the guidance in this update replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. The guidance in this update for public business entities is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Hamilton Bancorp is in the process of implementing a committee and has begun to gather loan information and consider acceptable methodologies to comply with this ASU. The implementation team will meet periodically to discuss the latest developments and updates via webcasts, publications, and conferences. Hamilton Bancorp’s evaluation indicates that the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 are expected to impact its consolidated financial statements, in particular the level of the reserve for loan losses. We are, however, continuing to evaluate the extent of the potential impact.

ASU 201 6-09, Improvements to Employee S hare-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). This ASU includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. Some of the key provisions of this new ASU include: (1) companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”). Instead, they will record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement, and APIC pools will be eliminated. The guidance also eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized before companies can recognize them. In addition, the guidance requires companies to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity; (2) increase the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still qualify for the exception to liability classification for shares used to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation. The new guidance will also require an employer to classify the cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy its statutory income tax withholding obligation as a financing activity on its statement of cash flows (current guidance did not specify how these cash flows should be classified); and (3) permit companies to make an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards. Forfeitures can be estimated, as required today, or recognized when they occur. ASU No. 2016-09 became effective for the Company on April 1, 2017 and was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). From the lessee’s perspective, the new ASU standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for lessees. The guidance also eliminates the current real estate-specific provision and changes the guidance on sale-leaseback transactions, initial direct costs and lease executory costs. With respect to lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. All entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease-related revenue and expense. In applying this guidance entities will also need to determine whether an arrangement contains a lease or service agreement. Disclosures are required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financials statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public entities, this guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The Company is assessing this guidance to determine its impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities. This ASU requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, excluding equity investments that are consolidated or accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The amendment allows equity investments without readily determinable fair values to be measured at cost minus impairment, with a qualitative assessment required to identify impairment. The amendment also requires public companies to use exit prices to measure the fair value of financial instruments purposes; requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statement; it eliminates the disclosure requirements related to measurement assumptions for the fair value of instruments measured at amortized cost. In addition, for liabilities measured at fair value under the fair value option, to present in other comprehensive income changes in fair value due to changes in instrument specific credit risk. This ASU will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company’s management has engaged a third-party expert in the field of valuation and reporting and is creating a process to ensure adequate documentation of financial controls and analysis performed in its review of “exit pricing” of the fair values of loans, deposits, and other financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU will be effective for us in our first quarter ending June 30, 2018 and will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The guidance in this ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. This ASU does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments including loans and securities that are accounted for under U.S. GAAP. Consequently, adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures since the primary source of revenue is derived from interest and dividends earned on loans, investment securities and other financial instruments that are outside the scope of the ASU. However, the Company has assessed its revenue streams and reviewed its contracts with customers that are potentially affected by the new guidance. This includes fees on deposits, gains and sales on the sale of foreclosed real estate, credit and debit card interchange fees, merchant card services, and administrative services for customer deposit account such as ATM and wire transfer transactions. The Company’s revenue recognition pattern for revenue streams within the scope of the ASU has not change significantly from current practice and is immaterial to our financial statements. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU will be effective for us in our first quarter ending June 30, 2018 and will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). ASU 2018-02 allows an entity to elect a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that changed our federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%. The amount of that reclassification should include the effect of changes in the tax rate on the deferred tax amount in AOCI. The ASU requires an entity to state if an election to reclassify the tax effect to retained earnings is made along with the description of other income tax effects that are reclassified from AOCI. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. Hamilton Bancorp early adopted ASU 2018-02 in the last quarter of fiscal 2018. The change in accounting principal was accounted for as a cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheet resulting in a reclassification of $238,759 from AOCI to retained earnings during the last quarter of fiscal 2018.

Note 3 : Acquisition

Fraternity Community Bancorp, Inc.

On May 13, 2016, Hamilton Bancorp acquired Fraternity Community Bancorp, Inc. (“Fraternity”), the parent company of Fraternity Federal Savings and Loan. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, shareholders of Fraternity received a cash payment equal to nineteen dollars and twenty-five cents ($19.25) for each share of Fraternity common stock. The total merger consideration was $25.7 million.

In connection with the acquisition, Fraternity Federal Savings and Loan was merged with and into Hamilton Bank, with Hamilton Bank as the surviving bank. The results of the Fraternity acquisition are included with Hamilton’s results as of and from May 13, 2016.

As required by the acquisition method of accounting, we have adjusted the acquired assets and liabilities of Fraternity to their estimated fair value on the date of acquisition and added them to those of Hamilton Bancorp. Based on management’s preliminary valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which we have based on level 3 valuation estimates and assumptions that were subject to change through the measurement date of May 2017, we have allocated the purchase price for Fraternity as follows:

|  | As recorded by Fraternity Community Bancorp, Inc. |  |  | Fair Value Adjustments |  |  |  |  |  | As recorded by Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. |
Identifiable assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Explanation of fair value adjustments:

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

Prior to the end of the May 13, 2016 measurement period, if information became available which indicated the purchase price allocations require adjustments, we included such adjustments in the purchase price allocation retrospectively.

Of the total estimated purchase price, we have allocated $23.6 million to net tangible assets acquired and we have allocated $242,020 to the core deposit intangible which is a definite lived intangible asset. We have allocated the remaining purchase price to goodwill. We will amortize the core deposit intangible on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of eight years. We will evaluate goodwill annually for impairment.

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

|  | Contractually Required Payments Receivable |  |  | Non-Accretable Credit Adjustments |  |  | Cash Flows Expected To Be Collected |  |  | Accretable FMV Adjustments |  |  | Carrying Value of Loans Receivable |
Performing loans acquired |  | $ | 107,474,993 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 107,474,993 |  |  | $ | 301,672 |  |  | $ | 107,776,665 |
Impaired loans acquired |  |  | 1,397,048 |  |  |  | (314,484 | ) |  |  | 1,082,564 |  |  |  | (55,046 | ) |  |  | 1,027,518 |
Total |  | $ | 108,872,041 |  |  | $ | (314,484 | ) |  | $ | 108,557,557 |  |  | $ | 246,626 |  |  | $ | 108,804,183 |

At our acquisition of Fraternity, we recorded all loans acquired at the estimated fair value on the purchase date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. On the acquisition date, we segregated the loan portfolio into two loan pools, performing and nonperforming loans, to be retained in our portfolio.

We had an independent third party assist us to determine the fair value of cash flows on $107,474,993 of performing loans. The valuation took into consideration the loans’ underlying characteristics, including account types, remaining terms, annual interest rates, interest types, past delinquencies, timing of principal and interest payments, current market rates, loan to value ratios, loss exposures, and remaining balances. These performing loans were segregated into pools based on loan and payment type and in some cases, risk grade. The effect of this fair valuation process was a net accretable premium adjustment of $301,672 at acquisition.

We also individually evaluated 23 impaired loans totaling $1,397,048 to determine the fair value as of the May 13, 2016 measurement date. In determining the fair value for each individually evaluated impaired loan, we considered a number of factors including the remaining life of the acquired loans, estimated prepayments, estimated loss ratios, estimated value of the underlying collateral and net present value of cash flows we expect to receive, among others.

We established a credit risk related non-accretable difference of $314,484 relating to these acquired, credit impaired loans, reflected in the recorded net fair value. We further estimated the timing and amount of expected cash flows in excess of the estimated fair value and established an accretable discount adjustment of $55,046 at acquisition relating to these impaired loans.

Fraternity Pro forma Condensed Combined Financial Information. The consolidated statements of operations data for the unaudited pro forma results for the fiscal year periods ending March 31, 2018 and 2017 as if the Fraternity acquisition had occurred at the beginning of these fiscal periods are deemed immaterial and not presented. Due to the fact the acquisition of Fraternity occurred on May 13, 2016, the fiscal year period ending March 31, 2018, as reported in this 10-K, already include the impact of Fraternity in the consolidated statements of operations as though the acquisition occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2018. The fiscal period ending March 31, 2017 does not reflect the full impact to the consolidated statements of operations for those twelve months since the acquisition occurred in May 2016 or close to the beginning of that respective fiscal period, however, that amount is deemed to be immaterial to the consolidated statement of operations for that period.

Fraternity acquisition expenses. In connection with the acquisition of Fraternity, the Company incurred merger related costs in fiscal 2017. These expenses were primarily related to legal, other professional services and system conversions. The following table details the expenses included in the consolidated statements of operations for the period shown.

|  | Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2017 |
Legal |  | $ | 55,500 |
Professional services |  |  | 157,567 |
Data processing |  |  | — |
Advertising |  |  | — |
Other |  |  | 6,350 |
Total merger related expenses |  | $ | 219,417 |

In addition, included in other professional service expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 is $305,000 and $532,000 relating to the amortization of non-compete agreements that have been paid to former executives in the acquisition. The non-compete agreements are for a term of one and two years that end or ended in April 2017 and 2018.

Note 4 : Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Weighted average shares exclude unallocated ESOP shares. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

Both the basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 are summarized below:

|  | Year Ended March 31, 2018 |  |  | Year Ended March 31, 2017 |
Net loss |  | $ | (6,048,942 | ) |  | $ | (928,782 | )
Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic |  |  | 3,192,011 |  |  |  | 3,180,292 |
Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted |  |  | 3,192,011 |  |  |  | 3,180,292 |
Loss per common share – basic and diluted |  | $ | (1.90 | ) |  | $ | (0.29 | )
Anti-dilutive shares |  |  | 175,177 |  |  |  | 118,911 |

During the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, none of the common stock equivalents were dilutive due to the loss reported for each period.

Note 5: Cash and Due From Banks

Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Act requires that banks maintain reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank based principally on the type and amount of their deposits. During fiscal years 2018 and 2017, the Company maintained balances at the Federal Reserve (in addition to vault cash) to meet the reserve requirements, as well as balances to partially compensate for services. Additionally, the Company maintained balances with the Federal Home Loan Bank and other domestic correspondent financial institutions as partial compensation for services they provided to the Company. The Bank normally carries balances with other correspondent financial institutions that exceed the federally insured limit.

The unrealized losses that exist are a result of market changes in interest rates since the original purchase. Management systematically evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on an annual basis from the date of purchase if the respective security is in a loss position. This analysis requires management to consider various factors, which include (1) duration and magnitude of the decline in value, (2) the financial condition of the issuer or issuers and (3) structure of the security.

An impairment loss is recognized in earnings if any of the following are true: (1) the Company intends to sell the debt security; (2) 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 Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. In situations where the Company intends to sell or when it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security, the entire impairment loss must be recognized in earnings. In all other situations, only the portion of the impairment loss representing the credit loss must be recognized in earnings, with the remaining portion being recognized in shareholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred tax.

(1) | As a result of the acquisition of Fraternity Community Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of Fraternity Federal Savings and Loan, in May 2016 and Fairmount Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of Fairmount Bank, in September 2015, we have segmented the portfolio into two components, loans originated by Hamilton Bank “Legacy” and loans acquired from Fraternity Community Bancorp, Inc. and Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. “Acquired”.

(2) | “Legacy” one-to four-family residential real estate loans at March 31, 2018 and 2017 includes $19.2 million and $23.4 million of purchased loan pools, respectively.

(3) | “Investor” loans are residential mortgage loans secured by non-owner occupied one-to four-family properties.

(4) | “Legacy” commercial business loans at March 31, 2018 includes a $15.5 million pool of commercial lease loans purchased in June 2017 and $3.2 million in guaranteed SBA loans purchased in last half of fiscal 2018.

(5) | “Legacy” consumer loans at March 31, 2018 includes $19.9 million of purchased loan pools consisting of recreational vehicles that were purchased in August and December 2017.

Residential lending is generally considered to involve less risk than other forms of lending, although payment experience on these loans is dependent on economic and market conditions in the Bank’s lending area. Construction loan repayments are generally dependent on the related properties or the financial condition of its borrower or guarantor. Accordingly, repayment of such loans can be more susceptible to adverse conditions in the real estate market and the regional economy.

A substantial portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio is real estate loans secured by residential and commercial real estate properties located in the Baltimore metropolitan area. Loans are extended only after evaluation of a customer’s creditworthiness and other relevant factors on a case-by-case basis. The Bank generally does not lend more than 75%—95% of the appraised value of a property, depending on the type of loan, and requires private mortgage insurance on residential mortgages with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%. In addition, the Bank generally obtains personal guarantees of repayment from borrowers and/or others for construction loans and disburses the proceeds of those and similar loans only as work progresses on the related projects.

Commercial business loans are made to provide funds for equipment and general corporate needs. Repayment of a loan primarily uses the funds obtained from the operation of the borrower’s business. Commercial loans also include lines of credit that are utilized to finance a borrower’s short-term credit needs and/or to finance a percentage of eligible receivables and inventory. The Company’s loan portfolio also includes equipment leases, which consists of leases for essential commercial equipment used by small to medium sized businesses.

The home equity loans consist of both conforming loans and revolving lines of credit to consumers which are secured by residential real estate. These loans are typically secured with second mortgages on the homes. Consumer loans include share loans, installment loans and, to a lesser extent, personal lines of credit. Share loans represent loans that are collateralized by a certificate of deposit or other deposit product. Installment loans are used by customers to purchase primarily automobiles, but may be used to also purchase boats and recreational vehicles.

The following tables detail activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. The allowance for loan losses allocated to each portfolio segment is not necessarily indicative of future losses in any particular portfolio segment and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in other portfolio segments.

(1) | Generally accepted accounting principles require that we record acquired loans at fair value at acquisition, which includes a discount for loans with credit impairment. These purchased credit impaired loans are not performing according to their contractual terms and meet the definition of an impaired loan. Although we do not accrue interest income at the contractual rate on these loans, we do recognize an accretable yield as interest income to the extent such yield is supported by cash flow analysis of the underlying loans.

Impaired loans also include certain loans that have been modified in troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Bank’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. Generally, nonaccrual loans that are modified and considered TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months.

A summary of TDRs at March 31, 2018 and 2017 follows:

The following table presents the number of contracts and the dollar amount of TDRs that were added during the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. The amount shown reflects the outstanding loan balance at the time of the modification.

|  | Loans Modified as a TDR for the fiscal year ended |
|  | March 31, 2018 |  |  | March 31, 2017 |
Troubled Debt Restructurings |  | Number of contracts |  |  | Outstanding recorded investment |  |  | Number of contracts |  |  | Outstanding recorded investment |

Residential |  |  | 3 |  |  | $ | 52,363 |  |  |  | 3 |  |  | $ | 97,401 |

There are no TDRs outstanding that defaulted over the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Earlier in fiscal 2017, there were 11 newly added TDR loans to one borrower for non-owner occupied residential real estate properties that had subsequently defaulted within twelve months. However, these loans were sold as part of a larger pool of loans in October 2016 and are no longer being reflected in these financial statements. Payment default under a TDR is defined as any TDR that is 90 days or more past due following the time that the loan was modified or the inability of the TDR to make the required payment subsequent to the modification. There are no commitments to extend credit under existing TDRs as of March 31, 2018.

In calculating the allowance for loan losses, individual TDRs are evaluated for impairment. TDRs are evaluated for impairment based upon either the present value of cash flows or, if collateral dependent, the lower of cost or fair value of the underlying collateral. If it is determined that the cash flows or underlying collateral is less than the carrying amount of the loan, the difference in value will be charged-off through earnings, unless the TDR is performing, in which case a specific reserve may be set-up for that TDR.

Credit quality indicators

As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to the risk grade of loans, the level of classified loans, net charge offs, nonperforming loans, and the general economic conditions in the Bank’s market.

The Bank utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. A description of the general characteristics of loans characterized as watch list or classified is as follows:

Pass

A pass loan is considered of sufficient quality to preclude a special mention or an adverse rating. Pass assets generally are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the asset or underlying collateral.

Special Mention

A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Loans that would primarily fall into this notational category could have been previously classified adversely, but the deficiencies have since been corrected. Management should closely monitor recent payment history of the loan and value of the collateral.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Borrowers may exhibit poor liquidity and leverage positions resulting from generally negative cash flow or negative trends in earnings. Access to alternative financing may be limited to finance companies for business borrowers and may be unavailable for commercial real estate borrowers.

Substandard

A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the collection or liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. This will be the measurement for determining if a loan is impaired.

Borrowers may exhibit recent or unexpected unprofitable operations, an inadequate debt service coverage ratio, or marginal liquidity and capitalization. These loans require more intense supervision by Bank management.

Doubtful

A doubtful loan has all the weaknesses inherent as a substandard loan with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. A loan classified as doubtful exhibits loss potential. However, there is still sufficient reason to permit the loan to remain on the books. A doubtful classification could reflect the deterioration of the primary source of repayment and serious doubt exists as to the quality of the secondary source of repayment.

Doubtful classifications should be used only when a distinct and known possibility of loss exists. When identified, adequate loss should be recorded for the specific assets. The entire asset should not be classified as doubtful if a partial recovery is expected, such as liquidation of the collateral or the probability of a private mortgage insurance payment is likely.

Loss

Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectable and of such little value that their continuance as loans is unjustified. A loss classification does not mean a loan has absolutely no value; partial recoveries may be received in the future. When loans or portions of a loan are considered a loss, it will be the policy of the Bank to write-off the amount designated as a loss. Recoveries will be treated as additions to the allowance for loan losses.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

In the normal course of business, the Bank has various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Loan commitments and lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition to the contract. Mortgage loan commitments generally have fixed interest rates, fixed expiration dates, and may require payment of a fee. Other loan commitments generally have fixed interest rates. Lines of credit generally have variable interest rates. Such lines do not represent future cash requirements because it is unlikely that all customers will draw upon their lines in full at any time.

The Bank’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer is the contractual amount of the credit commitment. Loan commitments, lines of credit, and letters of credit are made on the same terms, including collateral, as outstanding loans. The Bank has established an off-balance sheet reserve for potential losses associated with any outstanding commitment or unused line of credit. The off-balance sheet reserve is a percentage of the outstanding commitment or unused line of credit that is based upon a discounted charge-off history associated with each respective loan segment. The reserve at March 31, 2018 and 2017 totaled $50,200 and $55,200, respectively. At March 31, 2018, management is not aware of any accounting loss to be incurred by funding these loan commitments at this time.

The Bank had the following outstanding commitments and unused lines of credit as of March 31, 2018 and 2017:

|  | March 31, 2018 |  |  | March 31, 2017 |
Unused commercial lines of credit |  | $ | 9,187,810 |  |  | $ | 10,733,345 |

Note 8: Related Party Transactions

The officers and directors of the Bank enter into loan transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business. The terms of these transactions are similar to the terms provided to other borrowers entering into similar loan transactions. All related party loans are subject to review by management and the board of directors.

Activity in these loans during the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:

|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
Balance – Beginning of year |  | $ | 345,314 |  |  | $ | 381,948 |

Balance – End of year |  | $ | 129,954 |  |  | $ | 345,314 |

At March 31, 2018 there were no new loans made to related parties during the fiscal year and $6,150 of credit available under certain lines of credit. At March 31, 2017 there were $7,500 of new loans made to related parties during the fiscal year and $6,150 of credit available under lines of credit. Deposits from officers and directors of the Bank totaled $1,033,558 and $1,122,872 at March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

At March 31, 2018, the Bank had four operating leases that include three branches acquired from Fraternity and the administrative office lease in Baltimore County. The administrative office lease was renewed under a five-year option in December 2016, while two of the acquired branches have new leases due to relocation during fiscal 2018. Each of the lease agreements have options to renew at the end of the lease term. Rental expense under the four leases for the year ended March 31, 2018 was $511,884 compared to lease expense of $1,002,477 for March 31, 2017. The prior year lease expense includes the $495,000 in lease expense that is associated with closing one of our branches and the inability to get out of a respective lease agreement. The minimum future rental commitment under the current lease agreements at March 31, 2018 is as follows:

Note 10: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets (goodwill and core deposit intangible) at March 31, 2018 consists of assets recorded in December 2009 associated with the acquisition of a branch office in Pasadena, Maryland and the acquisition of Fairmount in September 2015 and the acquisition of Fraternity in May 2016. Only the goodwill related to the branch office acquisition in the amount of $2.7 million is deductible for tax purposes. We conducted our annual impairment test of goodwill as of December 31, 2017. In addition, due to the significant increase in tax expense resulting from the recording of a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, we concluded that a triggering event had occurred. Therefore, we performed an additional goodwill impairment analysis during the quarter ending March 31, 2018. Based upon the impairment tests performed as of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018, the fair values exceeded the carrying values of our only reporting unit. As a result, no impairment to goodwill was recorded for the period ended March 31, 2018. The core deposit intangible asset is being amortized straight-line over a life of eight years.

The following table presents the changes in net book value of intangible assets for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017:

|  | Goodwill |  |  | Core deposit intangible |
Balance April 1, 2016 |  | $ | 6,767,811 |  |  | $ | 618,300 |
Additions (1) |  |  | 1,877,243 |  |  |  | 242,020 |
Post acquisition adjustments |  |  | (81,524 | ) |  |  | — |
Amortization |  |  | — |  |  |  | (121,022 | )
Balance March 31, 2017 |  |  | 8,563,530 |  |  |  | 739,298 |
Amortization |  |  | — |  |  |  | (126,064 | )
Balance March 31, 2018 |  | $ | 8,563,530 |  |  | $ | 613,234 |

(1)—Additions to intangible assets are related to the acquisition of Fraternity Community Bancorp, Inc.

The post-acquisition adjustment to goodwill shown in the table above was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The adjustment represents a $451,000 write-down of several owner-occupied residential investor loans to one borrower that were acquired in the Fairmount acquisition and recording of an increase to the deferred tax asset related to a $533,000 net operating loss (NOL) from Fairmount’s final tax return. With regards to the investor loans, information we were not aware of at the time of the acquisition became available during the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Had we known this information at the time of the acquisition, we would have deemed these loans as impaired and valued them accordingly.

At March 31, 2018, future expected annual amortization associated with the core deposit intangible is as follows:

Year ending March 31, |  | Amount |
2019 |  |  | 126,070 |
2020 |  |  | 123,737 |
2021 |  |  | 98,070 |
2022 |  |  | 98,070 |
2023 |  |  | 98,070 |
2024 |  |  | 64,174 |
2025 |  |  | 5,043 |
|  | $ | 613,234 |

Note 11: Derivative – Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements. The Company posted $751,000 and $392,000 under collateral arrangements as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, to satisfy collateral requirements associated with the risk exposure associated with all interest rate swap agreements.

Interest Rate SWAPS Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

During fiscal 2017, the Company entered into several interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swaps have notional amounts totaling $11.6 million as of March 31, 2018 and were designated as cash flow hedges of certain Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The purpose of the cash flow hedges is to match-fund longer-term assets with longer-term borrowings to reduce potential interest rate risk and cost by swapping a variable rate borrowing for a fixed rate borrowing. The aggregate fair value of the swaps is recorded in other assets (liabilities) with changes in fair value associated with the effective portion recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and the ineffective portion recorded in other non-interest income. The cash flow hedges were determined to be ineffective during the quarter ended September 30, 2017. As such, a total of $1,075 of ineffectiveness has been reported in net income for the period ending March 31, 2018.

Interest Rate SWAPS Designated as Fair Value Hedges

The derivative position relates to a transaction in which the Bank entered into an interest rate swap with another financial institution using a fixed rate commercial real estate loan as an offset. The Bank agrees to pay the other financial institution a fixed interest rate on a notional amount based upon the commercial real estate loan and in return receive a variable interest rate on the same notional amount. This transaction allows the Bank to effectively convert a fixed rate loan to a variable rate. Because the terms of the swap with the other financial institution and the commercial real estate loan offset each other, with the only difference being credit risk associated with the loan, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contract and the commercial real estate loan are not materially different and do not significantly impact the Bank’s results of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company entered into the interest rate swap agreement with a $3.3 million notional amount to convert a fixed rate commercial real estate loan at 3.99% into a variable rate for a term of approximately 10 years. The notional amount of the interest rate swap and the offsetting commercial real estate loan were $3.1 and $3.2 million at March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The derivative is designated as a fair value hedge.

Credit risk arises from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Bank’s exposure is limited to the replacement value of the contract rather than the notional amount, principal, or contract amount. There are provisions in the agreement with the counterparty that allow for certain unsecured credit exposure up to an agreed threshold. Exposures in excess of the agreed threshold are collateralized. In addition, the Bank minimizes credit risk through credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures.

The fair value hedge is summarized below:

|  | March 31, 2018 |  |  | March 31, 2017 |
|  | Notional Amount |  |  | Principal Amount |  |  | Fair Value |  |  | Notional Amount |  |  | Principal Amount |  |  | Fair Value |
Included in Loans and Leases: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Included in Other Assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Interest Rate Swap |  | $ | 3,091,892 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 69,148 |  |  | $ | — |  |  |  | — |  |  | $ | — |

No gain or loss was recognized in earnings for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 related to the interest rate swap due to the fact the gain or increase in the fair value of the commercial real estate was offset by the loss or decrease in the fair value of interest rate swap.

Borrowings consist of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The Bank may borrow up to 25 percent of its assets under a line of credit agreement with the FHLB. Advances under the line of credit are secured by certain loans owned by the Bank. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Bank had $68.3 million and $88.2 million, respectively, of available credit from the FHLB. Advances are limited by the balance of loans available for pledge. The amount of loans that were deemed eligible to pledge as collateral totaled $127.1 million at March 31, 2018 and $159.1 million at March 31, 2017. As a condition of obtaining the line of credit from the FHLB, the FHLB also requires the Bank purchase shares of capital stock in the FHLB. Information relating to borrowings at March 31, 2018 and 2017 is presented below.

Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of “temporary differences” between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations. The largest component of our net deferred tax asset at March 31, 2018 was our net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences related to the activity in our allowance for loan losses and unrealized loss on investment securities available for sale. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not, that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Due to the Company remaining in a cumulative loss position for three consecutive years, management has concluded that it is more likely-than-not that the Company will be unable to realize its deferred tax assets in the foreseeable future, and accordingly has established a full valuation allowance of $5.8 million which equals 100% of the net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2018. If, in the future, the Company generates taxable income on a sustained basis sufficient to support the deferred tax assets, the need for a deferred tax valuation allowance could change, resulting in the reversal of all or a portion of the deferred tax asset valuation at that time.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The Company has a federal net operating loss carryforward (NOL) of $12.0 million as of March 31, 2018, which will expire within the period of the years ending March 31, 2030 through 2037, including $4.9 million and $1.9 million of federal NOL assumed in the acquisition of Fraternity and Fairmount, respectively. As a result of the change in ownership, the utilization of Fraternity and Fairmount’s NOL carryforwards is subject to limitations imposed under Code Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The state NOL for the Company is $11.0 million and also expires within the same period as the federal NOL. In addition, other tax attributes consisted of charitable contribution carryforwards of $102,742 and AMT credit carryovers of $245,620 at March 31, 2018. Under the Tax Act, the AMT credit carryovers are refundable over a period beginning in 2018. Charitable contribution carryovers have a limited life of five years.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was passed into law. The Tax Act included a broad range of tax reform including changes to tax rates and deductions that were effective January 1, 2018. The primary change for the Company was the lowering of the federal corporate income tax rate to 21% from maximum of 35%. The decrease in the enacted corporate tax rate expected to apply when the Company’s temporary differences are realized or settled resulted in a revaluation of the Company’s net deferred tax asset of $2.3 million with a corresponding charge to income tax expense. Based on information available and our current interpretation of the Tax Act, the Company has made reasonable estimates of the impact from the reduction in the corporate tax rate on the remeasurement of applicable deferred tax assets and liabilities. However, certain deferred tax assets and liabilities will continue to be evaluated in the context of the Tax Act through the date of the filing of our March 31, 2018 federal income tax return, and may change as a result of evolving management interpretations, elections, and assumptions, as well as new guidance that may be issued by the Internal Revenue Service. Management expects to complete its analysis within the measurement period in accordance with SAB 118.

The Company’s tax returns are subject to review and examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The Company’s tax returns are currently open to audit under the applicable statutes of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended March 31, 2015 through March 31, 2017. Years in which an NOL is created though are still open for examination. The establishment of a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets for financial reporting purposes does not affect how the net operating loss carryforwards may be utilized on our subsequent income tax returns. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions that are deemed material, and did not recognize any adjustments for unrecognized tax benefits.

Note 15: Regulatory Capital Ratios

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations for banks, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for Hamilton Bank on January 1, 2015 (subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions). Quantitative measures established by the Basel III Capital Rules to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Total capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average assets (as defined).

In connection with the adoption of the Basel III Capital Rules, we elected to opt-out of the requirement to include accumulated other comprehensive income in Common Equity Tier 1. Common Equity Tier 1 for Hamilton Bank is reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets, net of associated deferred tax liabilities and subject to transition provisions.

Under the revised prompt corrective action requirements, as of January 1, 2015, insured depository institutions are required to meet the following in order to qualify as “well capitalized:” (1) a common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.5%; (2) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8%; (3) a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% and (4) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5%. As of March 31, 2018, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III Capital Rules to be considered “well capitalized” under prompt corrective action rules.

The implementation of the capital conservation buffer will begin on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and be phased in over a four-year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019). The Basel III Capital Rules also provide for a “countercyclical capital buffer” that is applicable to only certain covered institutions and does not have any current applicability to Hamilton Bank.

The aforementioned capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer (or below the combined capital conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer, when the latter is applied) will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.

(1)   – Under prompt corrective action

Tier 1 capital consists of total shareholders’ equity less goodwill, intangible assets, and deferred tax net operating loss carryforwards. Total capital includes a limited amount of the allowance for loan losses and a portion of any unrealized gain on equity securities. In calculating risk-weighted assets, specified risk percentages are applied to each category of asset and off-balance-sheet items.

Failure to meet the capital requirements could affect, among other things, the Bank’s ability to accept brokered deposits and may significantly affect the operations of the Bank. During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Company transferred $3.0 million in cash down to the Bank as capital to increase the Bank’s lending capacity and enhance the Bank’s capital ratios after falling below the Bank’s self-imposed internal minimum capital level in the prior quarter.

In its regulatory report filed as of March 31, 2018, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and was considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. Management is not aware of any events that would have caused this classification to change. Management has no plans that should change the classification of the capital adequacy.

Note 16: Defined Contribution Retirement Plan

The Bank offers a retirement plan qualifying under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code to its employees. The Plan covers all full-time employees with one year of service who have reached 18 years of age. The Bank contributes three percent of each participant’s eligible compensation to the Plan. The Bank may make elective deferrals as well, upon Board of Directors approval. During the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Bank recorded expense of $174,065 and $145,082, respectively, related to the 401(k) Plan.

Note 17: Employee Stock Ownership Plan

In connection with the conversion to stock form in October 2012, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for the exclusive benefit of eligible employees. Eligible employees include all employees over the age of 21 that have completed 1,000 hours of service over a continuous twelve-month period. The ESOP borrowed funds from the Company in the amount of $2,962,400, which was sufficient to purchase 296,240 shares or 8% of the Common Stock issued in the offering. The shares were acquired at a price of $10.00 per share.

The loan is secured by the shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP over the 20-year term of the loan with funds from the Bank’s contributions to the ESOP and dividends paid on the stock, if any. The interest rate on the ESOP loan is an adjustable rate equal to the lowest prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal. The interest rate will adjust annually and will be the prime rate on the first business day of the calendar year. The interest rate on the loan as of March 31, 2018 is 4.50%.

Shares purchased with the loan proceeds are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as the loan is repaid. Contributions to the ESOP and shares released from the suspense account are allocated among participants in proportion to their annual salaried wages, relative to total salaried wages of all active participants. Participants will vest their accrued benefits under the employee stock ownership plan at a rate of 20% per year, such that the participants will be 100% vested upon completion of five years of credited service. Vesting is accelerated upon retirement, death, or disability of the participant, or a change in control of the Bank. Forfeitures will be reallocated to remaining plan participants. Benefits may be payable upon retirement, death, disability, separation of service, or termination of the ESOP. Participants may elect to receive benefits in cash in lieu of common stock.

The debt of the ESOP, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is eliminated in consolidation and the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the Consolidated Statement of financial Condition. Contributions to the ESOP shall be sufficient to pay principal and interest currently due under the loan agreement. As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the fair market price of the shares as they are committed to be released from the unallocated suspense account to participants’ accounts. The shares allocated will then become outstanding shares for earnings per share computations. The ESOP compensation expense for the year ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $224,481 and $235,633, respectively.

Note 18: Stock Based Compensation

In November 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved a new Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Equity Incentive Plan’’). The 2013 Equity Incentive Plan allows for up to 148,120 shares to be issued to employees, executive officers or Directors in the form of restricted stock, and up to 370,300 shares to be issued to employees, executive officers or Directors in the form of stock options. At March 31, 2018, there were 83,900 restricted stock awards issued and outstanding and 247,850 stock option awards granted under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

Stock Options:

Under the above plan, the exercise price for stock options is the market price at date of grant. The maximum option term is ten years and the options granted shall vest in five equal annual installments of 20% with the first installment becoming exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant and succeeding installments on each anniversary thereafter. The Company plans to issue new shares to satisfy share option exercises. The total expense that has been incurred for the stock option plan was $229,569 and $216,735 for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical data. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury rate equal to the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant.

The fair value of options granted to date was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of grant date.

Grant Date |  | Number of Options Granted |  |  | Risk Free Interest Rate |  |  | Expected Term (in years) |  |  | Expected Stock Price Volatility |  |  | Dividend Yield |  |  | Fair Value of Options Granted |
February 3, 2014 |  |  | 225,150 |  |  |  | 2.07 | % |  |  | 7.0 |  |  |  | 27.30 | % |  |  | 0.00 | % |  | $ | 4.65 |

As of March 31, 2018, there was $248,272 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under the Plan. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. The intrinsic value of a stock option is the amount that the market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option. Based upon a fair market value of $14.25 at March 31, 2018, the options outstanding had an intrinsic value of $102,110.

Restricted Stock:

The specific terms of each restricted stock award are determined by the Compensation Committee at the date of the grant. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at the grant date. Restricted stock awards granted shall vest in five equal annual installments of 20% with the first installment becoming vested on the first anniversary of the date of grant and succeeding installments on each anniversary thereafter.

Note 19: Fair Value Measurements

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and establish a hierarchy for determining fair value measurement. The hierarchy includes three levels and is based upon the valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 : Valuation is based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 : Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market; and

Level 3 : Valuation is derived from model-based techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

The following is a description of the valuation methods used for instruments measured at fair value as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the applicable valuation method.

Fair value measurements on a recurring basis

Securities available for sale – If quoted prices are available in an active market for identical assets, securities are classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Bank has categorized its investment securities available for sale as follows:

During fiscal 2018, a corporate bond and one mortgage-backed security were moved from a Level 2 input to a Level 3 input. The quantitative unobservable input for these bonds was obtained based upon pricing from an independent third party. The securities were classified as a Level 3 input because there was no active market for these securities to obtain a fair value. Conversely, during fiscal 2018, several municipal bonds and mortgage backed securities were moved from Level 3 input to Level 2 input as additional market data and inputs became available.

Derivative – Interest rate swap agreements – The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2). The quantitative models that are used utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rates, and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the bank has categorized its interest rate swaps and related loan as follows:

March 31, 2018 |  | Level 1 inputs |  |  | Level 2 inputs |  |  | Level 3 inputs |  |  | Total |
Loans – Commercial real estate loan |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 3,022,744 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 3,022,744 |

The Merger shall become effective on the date of such filings or at the time and date specified therein (the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided herein and as provided in the applicable provisions of the PBCL and the MGCL.

1.4 Closing. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated at a closing (the “Closing”) that will take place by mail or electronic delivery, or, at the option of Buyer at the offices of Goodwin Procter LLP, 901 New York Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20001, on a date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no later than five Business Days (as defined in Section 9.3) after all of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VII (other than conditions to be satisfied at the Closing, which shall be satisfied or waived at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, such day being referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Closing may take place at such other place, time or date as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by Buyer, the Company.

The Articles of Incorporation of Buyer, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended as provided therein and in accordance with applicable law. The Bylaws of Buyer, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended as provided therein and in accordance with applicable law.

1.6 Directors of the Surviving Corporation. The directors of Buyer immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, each of whom shall serve in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation; provided, however, that effective immediately after the Effective Time, Buyer shall expand the size of its Board of Directors and cause the Buyer Bank to expand the size of its Board of Directors, in each case by one seat and appoint one director of the Company as mutually agreed upon by Buyer and the Company to serve on the Boards of Directors of the Surviving Corporation and of the Buyer Bank (as defined in Section 1.9). The director of the Company appointed to the Boards of Directors of the Surviving Corporation and Buyer Bank shall serve as a director of each such entity for the remainder of the term of the class to which such director is appointed.

It is intended that the Bank Merger qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code, and that the agreement and plan of merger in respect of the Bank Merger constitute a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.

ARTICLE II

MERGER CONSIDERATION AND EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

2.1 Merger Consideration. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, the Company or any stockholder of the Company:

(a) Each share of common stock, no par value per share, of Buyer (“Buyer Common Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding following the Effective Time and shall be unchanged by the Merger.

(b) Each share of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company (“Treasury Stock”) immediately prior to the Effective Time and each share of Company Common Stock remitted to the Company prior to the Effective Time for the purposes of extinguishing any ESOP indebtedness as contemplated by Section 6.10(i) shall be cancelled and retired at the Effective Time without any conversion thereof, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

A-3

##### Table of Contents

(c) Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Treasury Stock) shall become and be converted into, as provided in and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the right to receive $4.10 in cash, without interest, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.1(d) (the “Cash Consideration”) and 0.54 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Buyer Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”). The Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Merger Consideration.”

(d) Adjustment to Cash Consideration. The Cash Consideration shall be reduced by an amount equal to the quotient (measured to the nearest whole cent), the numerator of which equals the product, not to exceed $1,000,000, of (i) 0.79 and (ii) the Aggregate Losses associated with the Loans set forth on Schedule 2.1(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and the denominator of which equals the sum of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the number of Company Stock Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. For the purpose of this Section 2.1(d), the term “Aggregate Losses” shall mean the sum of (i) the dollar amount of all losses, costs, expenses, damages, settlements, and liabilities (including, without limitation, insurance deductibles, legal fees and other out-of-pocket expenses associated therewith) paid or incurred by the Company, net of any insurance proceeds received by the Company, (ii) the dollar amount of all write-downs taken or loan loss or litigation reserves established by the Company in accordance with GAAP, and (iii) any reduction in fair value resulting from any purchase credit impairment required by GAAP purchase accounting, in each case arising out of, relating to, or based upon, the Loans set forth on Schedule 2.1(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, from the date of this Agreement through and including the Determination Date.

2.2 Rights as Stockholders; Stock Transfers. All shares of Company Common Stock, when converted as provided in Section 2.1(c), shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist and each certificate or direct registration statement (a “Certificate”) previously evidencing such shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive, for each such share of Company Common Stock, the Merger Consideration and, if applicable, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.3. At the Effective Time, holders of Company Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, stockholders of the Company, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock as provided under this Article II. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of shares of Company Common Stock, other than transfers of Company Common Stock that have occurred prior to the Effective Time.

2.3 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Merger. In lieu thereof, Buyer shall pay to each holder of a fractional share of Buyer Common Stock an amount of cash (without interest) determined by multiplying the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by the average of the daily closing prices during the regular session of Buyer Common Stock on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) (as reported in The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source) for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the fifth Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date, rounded to the nearest whole cent.

2.4 Adjustments to Preserve Tax Treatment. If either the tax opinion referred to in Section 7.2(b) or the tax opinion referred to in Section 7.3(b) cannot be rendered (as reasonably determined, in each case, by the counsel charged with giving such opinion) as a result of the Merger potentially failing to satisfy the “continuity of interest” requirements under applicable federal income tax principles relating to reorganizations under Section 368(a) of the Code, then Buyer shall increase the Stock Consideration to the minimum extent necessary to enable the relevant tax opinions to be rendered.

2.5 Exchange Procedures.

(a) On or before the Closing Date, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, (i) Buyer shall cause to be delivered to a bank or trust company designated by Buyer and reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for exchange in accordance with this Article II, certificates representing the shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Article II (“New Certificates”) and (ii) Buyer shall deliver, or shall cause to be delivered, to the Exchange Agent an aggregate amount of cash sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of cash payable pursuant to this Article II (including the estimated amount of cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock) (such cash and New Certificates, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, and provided that the Company has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to the Exchange Agent all information which is necessary for the Exchange Agent to perform its obligations as specified herein, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates, a form of letter of transmittal in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and the Company (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration into which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate or Certificates shall have been converted pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3 of this Agreement. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (i) a New Certificate representing that number of shares of Buyer Common Stock (if any) to which such former holder of Company Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) a check representing that amount of cash (if any) to which such former holder of Company Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to this Agreement and/or (iii) a check representing the amount of cash (if any) payable in lieu of a fractional share of Buyer Common Stock which such former holder has the right to receive in respect of the Certificate surrendered pursuant to this Agreement, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.5(b), each Certificate (other than Certificates representing Treasury Stock) shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration provided in Sections 2.1 and 2.3 and any unpaid dividends and distributions thereon as provided in Section 2.5(c). No interest shall be paid or accrued on (x) any cash constituting Merger Consideration (including any cash in lieu of fractional shares) or (y) any such unpaid dividends and distributions payable to holders of Certificates.

A-5

##### Table of Contents

(c) No dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time with respect to Buyer Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.5. After the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.5, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of Buyer Common Stock represented by such Certificate.

(d) The Exchange Agent and Buyer, as the case may be, shall not be obligated to deliver cash and/or a New Certificate or New Certificates representing shares of Buyer Common Stock to which a holder of Company Common Stock would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders the Certificate or Certificates representing the shares of Company Common Stock for exchange as provided in this Section 2.5, or an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond in an amount as may be required in each case by Buyer. If any New Certificates evidencing shares of Buyer Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate evidencing Company Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by an executed form of assignment separate from the Certificate and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the Person requesting such exchange pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other tax required by reason of the issuance of a New Certificate for shares of Buyer Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or otherwise establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company twelve months after the Effective Time (as well as any interest or proceeds from any investment thereof) shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to Buyer. Any stockholders of the Company who have not theretofore complied with Section 2.5(b) shall thereafter look only to the Buyer for the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock such stockholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case without any interest thereon. If outstanding Certificates for shares of Company Common Stock are not surrendered, or the payment for them is not claimed on or before the day prior to the date on which such shares of Buyer Common Stock or cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any governmental unit or agency, the unclaimed items shall, to the extent permitted by abandoned property and any other applicable law, become the property of Buyer (and to the extent not in its possession shall be delivered to it), free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled to such property. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock represented by any Certificate for any consideration paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Buyer and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of the Company to establish the identity of those Persons entitled to receive the Merger Consideration specified in this Agreement, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock represented by any Certificate, Buyer and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deposit any Merger Consideration represented thereby in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

A-6

##### Table of Contents

(f) Buyer (through the Exchange Agent, if applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock such amounts as Buyer is required to deduct and withhold under applicable law. Any amounts so deducted and withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Buyer.

2.6 Anti-Dilution Provisions. In the event Buyer or the Company changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of, or provides for the exchange of, shares of Buyer Common Stock or Company Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding Buyer Common Stock or Company Common Stock and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, the Exchange Ratio and/or the Cash Consideration shall be proportionately and appropriately adjusted; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no such adjustment shall be made with regard to the Buyer Common Stock if (i) Buyer issues additional shares of Buyer Common Stock and receives consideration for such shares in a bona fide third party transaction or (ii) Buyer issues employee or director stock grants or similar equity awards or shares of Buyer Common Stock underlying the same.

2.7 Options and Other Stock-Based Awards.

(a) Each option to purchase Company Common Stock (collectively, the “Company Stock Options”) granted under the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and any other similar plan (collectively, the “Company Equity Plans”) or otherwise, whether vested or unvested, which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which has not been exercised or canceled prior thereto shall, at the Effective Time, be canceled and, the Company shall pay to the holder thereof cash in an amount equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Stock Option and (b) the excess, if any, of $16.90 per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 2.1(d), over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock provided for in such Company Stock Option, which cash payment shall be made without interest and shall be net of all applicable withholding taxes. At the Effective Time, the Company Equity Plans shall terminate and the provisions in any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company shall be of no further force and effect and shall be deemed to be deleted.

(b) As of the Effective Time, all restricted stock awards granted under the Company Equity Plan (“Company Restricted Stock”) shall vest in full so as to no longer be subject to any forfeiture or vesting requirements, and all such shares of Company Common Stock shall be considered outstanding shares for all purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, for purposes of the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect thereto.

A-7

##### Table of Contents

(c) Prior to the Closing, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the Company Equity Plans) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions (including, without limitation, obtaining the consent from any applicable holders of Company Stock Options) as may be required to effect the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7.

2.8 Reservation of Right to Revise Structure. Buyer may at any time change the method of effecting the business combination contemplated by this Agreement if and to the extent that it deems such a change to be desirable; provided, however, that no such change shall (a) alter or change the amount or kind of the consideration to be issued to holders of Company Common Stock, Company Restricted Stock or Company Stock Options as currently contemplated in this Agreement, (b) reasonably be expected to materially impede or delay consummation of the Merger, (c) adversely affect the U.S. federal income tax treatment of holders of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger, or (d) require submission to or approval of the Company’s stockholders after the plan of merger set forth in this Agreement has been approved by the Company’s stockholders. In the event that Buyer elects to make such a change, the parties agree to execute appropriate documents to reflect the change.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

3.1 Making of Representations and Warranties.

(a) As a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company hereby makes to Buyer the representations and warranties contained in this Article III, subject to the standards established by Section 9.1.

(b) On or prior to the date hereof, the Company has delivered to Buyer a schedule (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”) listing, among other things, items the disclosure of which is necessary or appropriate in relation to any or all of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Article III; provided, however, that no such item is required to be set forth on the Company Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty if its absence is not reasonably likely to result in the related representation or warranty being untrue or incorrect under the standards established by Section 9.1. The Company has made a good faith effort to ensure that the disclosure on each schedule of the Company Disclosure Schedules corresponds to the section referenced herein. However, for purposes of the Company Disclosure Schedules, any item disclosed on any schedule therein is deemed to be fully disclosed with respect to other schedules to the extent that it is reasonably clear on the face of such schedule that such item applies to such other schedule.

3.2 Organization, Standing and Authority. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Company is duly registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”), and the regulations of the FRB promulgated thereunder. The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in the jurisdictions where its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified,

A-8

##### Table of Contents

except where the failure to so qualify has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 9.3). A complete and accurate list of all such jurisdictions is set forth on Schedule 3.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

3.3 Capitalization.

(a) As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists solely of 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which no shares are issued and outstanding, and 100,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock of which 3,416,414 shares are issued and outstanding including 92,701 shares of outstanding Company restricted stock awards. In addition, as of the date hereof, there are 262,704 shares of Company Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock options and 296,240 shares of Company Common Stock held by the ESOP, of which 207,368 shares of Company Common Stock are unallocated. The outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof, and subject to no preemptive or similar rights (and were not issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights and the Company Board has not granted or approved any such preemptive or similar rights). Except as set forth on Schedule 3.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there are no additional shares of the Company’s capital stock authorized or reserved for issuance, the Company has not issued any securities (including units of beneficial ownership interest in any partnership or limited liability company) convertible into or exchangeable for any additional shares of stock, any stock appreciation rights, or any other rights to subscribe for or acquire shares of its capital stock issued and outstanding, and the Company does not have, and is not bound by, any commitment to authorize, issue or sell any such shares or other rights. Except for the Voting Agreements, there are no agreements to which the Company is a party with respect to the voting, sale or transfer, or registration of any securities of the Company.

Each Company Employee Program that constitutes in any part a nonqualified deferred compensation plan within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code has been operated and maintained in all material respects in operational and documentary compliance with Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance thereunder.

Each of Buyer and the Company agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Registration Statement, at the time the Registration Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, becomes effective under the Securities Act, will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, and (ii) the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, at the date of mailing to the Company’s shareholders and at the time of the Company Meeting, will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

6.4 Access; Information.

(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford Buyer and its officers, employees, counsel, accountants, advisors and other authorized representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Representatives”), access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to all of its properties, books, contracts, commitments and records (including, without limitation, work papers of independent auditors), and to its officers, employees, accountants, counsel or other representatives, and, during such period, it shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to Buyer and the Buyer Representatives (i) a copy of each material report, schedule and other document filed with any Governmental Authority (other than reports or documents that the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may

A-54

be, are not permitted to disclose under applicable law), and (ii) all other information concerning the business, properties and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Buyer or any Buyer Representative may reasonably request. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access jeopardizes the attorney client privilege of the institution in possession or control of such information or contravenes any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree. Consistent with the foregoing, the Company agrees to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under the circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(b) Buyer agrees to hold all information and documents obtained pursuant to this Section 6.4 in confidence (as provided in, and subject to the provisions of, the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 9.3), as if it were the party receiving the confidential information as described therein). No investigation by one party of the business and affairs of the other party shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, or the conditions to each party’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.5 No Solicitation.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and the respective officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants, affiliates and other agents of the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, induce or knowingly encourage, or take any action to facilitate the making of, any inquiry, offer or proposal which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal or furnish, or otherwise afford access, to any Person (other than Buyer) any information or data with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) release any Person from, waive any provisions of, or fail to enforce any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement to which the Company is a party; or (iv) enter into any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or approve or resolve to approve any Acquisition Proposal or any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent relating to an Acquisition Proposal. Any violation of the foregoing restrictions by any of the Company Representatives, whether or not such Company Representative is so authorized and whether or not such Company Representative is purporting to act on behalf of the Company or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, and shall cause each of the Company Representatives to, immediately (i) cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing discussions, negotiations, and communications with any Persons with respect to any existing or potential Acquisition Proposal and (ii) request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously made available by it or on its behalf in connection with any actual or potential Acquisition Proposals.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, offer or proposal (other than an inquiry, offer or proposal from Buyer), whether or not in writing, contemplating, relating to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Transaction.

transaction or series of transactions involving any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, share exchange, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (B) any transaction pursuant to which any third party or group acquires or would acquire (whether through sale, lease or other disposition), directly or indirectly, any assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries representing, in the aggregate, 25% or more of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (C) any issuance, sale or other disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange or any similar transaction) securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase or securities convertible into, such securities) representing 25% or more of the votes attached to the outstanding securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (D) any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any third party or group beneficially owning 25% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (E) any transaction which is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions, or any combination of the foregoing.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.5(a), prior to the date of the Company Meeting, the Company may take any of the actions described in clause (ii) of Section 6.5(a) if, but only if, (i) the Company has received a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.5; (ii) the Company Board determines in good faith, (A) after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and (B) after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that it is required to take such actions to comply with the standard of conduct required of a board of directors under the MGCL or other fiduciary duties owed to the Company’s stockholders under applicable law; (iii) the Company has provided Buyer with at least three Business Days’ prior notice of such determination; and (iv) prior to furnishing or affording access to any information or data with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal, the Company receives from such Person a confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement. The Company shall promptly provide to Buyer any non-public information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries provided to any other Person which was not previously provided to Buyer, such additional information to be provided no later than the date of provision of such information to such other party.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written proposal (on its most recently amended or modified terms, if amended or modified) made by a third party to enter into an Acquisition Transaction on terms that the Company Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor (i) would, if consummated, result in the acquisition of all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (ii) would result in a transaction that (A) involves consideration to the holders of the shares of Company Common Stock that is more favorable, from a financial point of view, than the consideration to be paid to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to this Agreement, considering, among other things, the nature of the consideration being offered and any material regulatory approvals or other risks associated with the timing of the proposed transaction beyond or in addition to those specifically contemplated hereby, and which proposal is not conditioned upon obtaining financing and (B) is, in light of the other terms of such proposal, more favorable to the Company’s stockholders than the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iii) is reasonably likely to be completed on the terms proposed, in each case taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal.

##### Table of Contents

(c) The Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify Buyer in writing if any inquiries, proposals or offers are received by, any information is requested from, or any negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company or the Company Representatives, in each case in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, and such notice shall indicate the name of the Person initiating such discussions or negotiations or making such inquiry, proposal, offer or information request and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers and, in the case of written materials relating to such inquiry, proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussion, providing copies of such materials (including e-mails or other electronic communications). The Company agrees that it shall keep Buyer informed, on a reasonably current basis (and in any event within 24 hours), of the status and terms of any material developments with respect to such inquiry, proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussions (including, in each case, any amendments or modifications thereto). The Company shall provide Buyer and Buyer Bank with at least 48 hours prior notice of any meeting of the Company Board at which the Company Board is reasonably expected to consider any Acquisition Proposal.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 6.5(d), prior to the date of the Company Meeting, the Company Board may withdraw, qualify, amend or modify the Company Recommendation (a “Company Subsequent Determination”) after the fifth Business Day following Buyer’s receipt of a written notice (the “Notice of Superior Proposal”) from the Company advising Buyer that the Company Board has decided that a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that it received (that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.5) constitutes a Superior Proposal if, but only if, (i) the Company Board has reasonably determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that it is required to take such actions to comply with the standard of conduct required of a board of directors under the MGCL or other fiduciary duties owed to the Company’s stockholders under applicable law, (ii) during the five Business Day period after receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal by Buyer (the “Notice Period”), the Company and the

A-57

##### Table of Contents

Company Board shall have cooperated and negotiated in good faith with Buyer to make such adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable the Company to proceed with the Company Recommendation without a Company Subsequent Determination; provided, however, that Buyer shall not have any obligation to propose any adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (iii) at the end of the Notice Period, after taking into account any such adjusted, modified or amended terms as may have been proposed by Buyer since its receipt of such Notice of Superior Proposal, the Company Board has again in good faith made the determination (A) in clause (i) of this Section 6.5(e) and (B) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal. In the event of any material revisions to the Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new Notice of Superior Proposal to Buyer and again comply with the requirements of this Section 6.5(e), except that the Notice Period shall be reduced to three Business Days.

(f) Notwithstanding any Company Subsequent Determination, this Agreement shall be submitted to the Company’s stockholders at the Company Meeting for the purpose of voting on, the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve the Company of such obligation; provided, however, that if the Company Board shall have made a Company Subsequent Determination, then the Company Board may submit this Agreement to the Company’s stockholders without recommendation (although the resolutions adopting this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded), in which event the Company Board may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation to the Company’s stockholders in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto. In addition to the foregoing, the Company Board shall not submit to the vote of its stockholders any Acquisition Proposal other than the Merger at the Company Meeting.

prohibition, limitation, condition or other requirement which would (A) prohibit or materially limit the ownership or operation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries, of all or any material portion of the business or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) compel Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries to dispose of or hold separate all or any material portion of the business or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries, or (C) compel Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action, or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or request, if the prohibition, limitation, condition or other requirement described in clauses (A)-(C) of this sentence would have a material adverse effect on the future operation by Buyer and its Subsidiaries of their business, taken as a whole, (a “Burdensome Conditions”). Provided that the Company has cooperated as required above, Buyer agrees to file the requisite applications or notices to be filed by it with the FRB, the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities and the MOCFR. Each of Buyer and the Company shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, with respect to, all material written information submitted to any third party or any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto agrees to act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Each party hereto agrees that it will consult with the other parties hereto with respect to the obtaining of all material permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party will keep the other parties reasonably apprised of the status of material matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.9 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) Buyer agrees that all rights to indemnification and all limitations of liability existing in favor of any director or officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”) as provided in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or in the similar governing documents of the Company’s Subsidiaries or as provided in applicable law as in effect as of the date hereof with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time, including without limitation the right to advancement of expenses, shall survive the Merger.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase an extended reporting period endorsement under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the Company’s directors and officers in a form acceptable to the Company which shall provide such directors and officers with coverage for six years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms at least as favorable to, the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by the Company, so long as the aggregate cost is not more than 200% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such insurance (the “Premium Limit”). In the event that the Premium Limit is insufficient for such coverage, the Company may enter into an agreement to spend up to that amount to purchase such lesser coverage as may be obtained with such amount.

##### Table of Contents

(c) In the event Buyer or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.9 are intended to be for the benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives.

6.10 Employees and Benefit Plans.

(a) From and for at least the 12-month period after the Effective Time, Buyer agrees to provide the employees of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries who remain employed after the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company Employees”) with at least the types and levels of employee benefits substantially comparable in the aggregate to those then maintained by Buyer for similarly-situated employees of Buyer. Buyer will treat, and cause its applicable Buyer Employee Programs to treat, the service of the Company Employees with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as service rendered to Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and for level of benefits (but not for benefit accrual under any defined benefit plan) attributable to any period before the Effective Time. Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the terms and conditions of Buyer’s applicable Employee Programs, Buyer shall cause the Company’s employees to receive credit for their prior service for eligibility and vesting purposes in Buyer’s 401(k) plan and for purposes of determining the length of vacation, sick time, paid time off and severance under Buyer’s applicable plan or policy. Buyer shall also provide that the Company’s employees shall not be treated as “new” employees for purposes of any exclusions under any health or similar plan of Buyer for a pre-existing medical condition to the extent that any such exclusion did not apply under a health or similar plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket expenses paid under any of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ health plans shall be credited towards deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket expenses under Buyer’s health plans upon delivery to Buyer of appropriate documentation, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Employee Program. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.10, service and other amounts shall not be credited to Company Employees (or their eligible dependents) to the extent the crediting of such service or other amounts would result in the duplication of benefits. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, none of the provisions contained herein shall operate to duplicate any benefit provided to any Company Employee or the funding of any such benefit.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall have sole discretion with respect to the determination as to whether or when to terminate, merge or continue any employee benefit plans and programs of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless a Company Employee affirmatively terminates coverage (or causes coverage to terminate) under a Company health plan prior to the time such Company Employee becomes eligible to participate in a health plan of Buyer or Buyer’s Subsidiary, no coverage of any of the

A-60

##### Table of Contents

Company Employees or their dependents shall terminate under any of the Company health plans prior to the time such Company Employees and their dependents become eligible to participate in the health plans, programs and benefits common to all employees of Buyer or any Buyer Subsidiary and their dependents.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, Buyer agrees to honor and continue to be obligated to perform, or to cause Buyer Bank and the Company and its Subsidiaries to honor and continue to be obligated to perform, in accordance with their terms, all contractual rights of current and former employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries existing as of the Effective Time, including, without limitation, all employment, change in control, severance and deferred compensation agreements and arrangements listed or described in Schedule 6.10(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(d) If requested by Buyer no later than 30 days prior to the Closing, the Company shall terminate its 401(k) plan effective as of the day prior to the Effective Time (but contingent upon the occurrence thereof) and adopt all required compliance amendments pursuant to written resolutions, the form and substance of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. If the Company 401(k) plan is terminated, Buyer agrees to permit participants in the Company 401(k) plan who are Company Employees to roll over their account balances and outstanding loan balances from such plan to Buyer’s 401(k) plan, and such Company Employees who satisfy the eligibility requirements of Buyer’s 401(k) plan (taking into account credit for prior years of service with the Company pursuant to Section 6.10(a), other than for purposes of profit-sharing contribution) shall be eligible to immediately participate in Buyer’s 401(k) plan. Prior to the Closing, the Buyer shall take such other actions (including, without limitation, amending the Buyer’s 401(k) plan) as may be required to effect the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.10(d).

(e) Buyer agrees to honor the severance guidelines attached as Schedule 6.10(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule in connection with the termination of employment of any Company Employee, other than an employee who is a party to an employment agreement, change in control agreement or other separation agreement that provides a benefit on a termination of employment, who has a Qualifying Termination Event (as defined in Schedule 6.10(e)) of the Company Disclosure Schedule by the Company at the request of Buyer as of, or within one (1) year following the Effective Time. Any such terminated Company Employee shall receive a lump sum severance payment in such amounts, at such times, and upon such conditions as set forth on said Schedule.

(f) From the date hereof through the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, provide Buyer with reasonable access (at reasonable times, upon reasonable notice and in a manner that will not materially interfere with the normal operations of the Company) to the (i) employees of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) the Company’s human resources personnel and personnel records (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) for purposes of (A) facilitating an orderly transition of such employees from and after the Closing, (B) making announcements concerning, and preparing for the consummation of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (C) engaging, communicating or meeting with and/or presenting to such employees on either an individual or group basis with respect to matters related to their prospective continued

employment with Buyer on and after the Closing. The Company and Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to consult with each other, and will consider in good faith each other’s advice, prior to sending any notices or other communication materials to the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries regarding this Agreement, the Merger or the effects thereof on the employment, compensation or benefits of such employees and, in any case, any such notice or communication materials shall comply with applicable law.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6.10 shall (i) be treated as an amendment of any particular Employee Program or any other employee benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement or (ii) give any third party, including any Company Employee, any former employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any beneficiary representative thereof, any right to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.10. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to (x) confer upon any Company Employee or any other Person any right to continued employment after the Effective Time or (y) prevent Buyer or any of its Affiliates from amending, modifying or terminating any Employee Program or any other employee benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement.

(h) Within 45 days after the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall designate, in mutual agreement with the Company, certain employees of Company and Company Bank who shall remain employed by Company and Company Bank as of the Closing Date and/or through a post-Closing transition period through certain dates following the Effective Time and such employees may be eligible to receive retention bonuses. The amount, allocation and timing of payment of each such bonus will be determined by Buyer, in mutual agreement with the Company.

(i) The ESOP shall be terminated, effective as of or immediately prior to the Effective Time and the outstanding ESOP obligation shall be repaid to the Company, in full, first with any cash in the ESOP suspense account and then with shares in the ESOP suspense account, assuming a value equal to the Merger Consideration. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall adopt an amendment to the ESOP (the “ESOP Termination Amendment”) that will terminate the ESOP effective as of the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Bank, and after the Effective Time, the Buyer Bank shall cause the Committee (as defined in the ESOP) and the ESOP Trustee to take all other actions and prepare all documents necessary in furtherance of the termination and the administration of the ESOP until all assets thereunder are distributed, including, without limitation, preparing and filing all necessary documents with the IRS to request a favorable determination letter, which actions and documentation shall be subject to the reasonable review of Buyer. The ESOP Termination Amendment will provide that, except as set forth on Schedule 6.10(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, no distributions shall be made from the ESOP until such favorable determination letter is received from the IRS.

Members of the Board:

You have requested the opinion of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (“KBW” or “we”) as investment bankers as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the common shareholders of Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. (“Hamilton”) of the Merger Consideration (as defined below) to be received by such shareholders in the proposed merger (the “Merger”) of Hamilton with and into Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. (“Orrstown”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) to be entered into by and between Hamilton and Orrstown. Pursuant to the Agreement and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth therein, at the Effective Time (as defined in the Agreement), automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Orrstown, Hamilton or any holder of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Hamilton (“Hamilton Common Stock”), each share of Hamilton Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Treasury Stock (as defined in the Agreement)) shall become and be converted into the right to receive (i) $4.10 in cash, without interest (the “Cash Consideration”), subject to certain downward adjustment as further provided in the Agreement (as to which adjustment we express no opinion), and (ii) 0.54 shares of common stock, no par value per share, of Orrstown (“Orrstown Common Stock,” and such shares of Orrstown Common Stock, the “Stock Consideration”). The Stock Consideration and the Cash Consideration, taken together, are referred to herein as the “Merger Consideration.” The terms and conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Agreement.

The Agreement further provides that Orrstown intends to cause the merger of Hamilton Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hamilton, with and into Orrstown Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Orrstown (“Orrstown Bank”), with Orrstown Bank as the surviving institution, pursuant to a separate agreement and plan of merger to be entered into, as determined by Orrstown in its sole discretion, following the execution and delivery of the Agreement (such transaction, the “Bank Merger”).

KBW has acted as financial advisor to Hamilton and not as an advisor to or agent of any other person. As part of our investment banking business, we are continually engaged in the valuation of bank and bank holding company securities in connection with acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for various other purposes. As specialists in the securities of banking companies, we have experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of banking enterprises. In the ordinary course of our and their broker-dealer businesses, and further to certain existing sales and trading relationship between a KBW-affiliated broker-dealer and Hamilton, we and our affiliates may from time to time purchase securities from, and sell securities to, Hamilton and Orrstown. In addition, as a market maker in securities, we and our affiliates may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or equity securities of Hamilton or Orrstown for our and their own accounts and for the accounts of our and their respective customers and clients. We have acted exclusively for the board of directors of Hamilton (the “Board”) in rendering this opinion and will receive a fee from Hamilton for our services. A portion of our fee is payable upon the rendering of this opinion, and a significant portion is contingent upon the successful completion of the Merger. In addition, Hamilton has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our engagement.

Other than in connection with this present engagement, in the past two years, KBW has not provided investment banking and financial advisory services to Hamilton. In the past two years, KBW has not provided investment banking and financial advisory services to Orrstown. We may in the future provide investment banking and financial advisory services to Hamilton or Orrstown and receive compensation for such services.

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, analyzed and relied upon material bearing upon the financial and operating condition of Hamilton and Orrstown and bearing upon the Merger, including among other things, the following: (i) an execution copy of the Agreement dated as of October 23, 2018; (ii) the audited financial statements and the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the three fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 of Hamilton; (iii) the unaudited quarterly financial statements and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018 of Hamilton; (iv) certain draft and unaudited quarterly financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 of Hamilton (provided by Hamilton); (v) the audited financial statements and Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 of Orrstown; (vi) the unaudited quarterly financial statements and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 of Orrstown; (vii) certain unaudited quarterly financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 of Orrstown (contained in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Orrstown with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 17, 2018); (viii) certain regulatory filings of Hamilton and Orrstown and their respective subsidiaries, including the quarterly call reports filed with respect to each quarter during the three-year period ended December 31, 2017 as well as the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018; (ix) certain other interim reports and other communications of Hamilton and Orrstown to their respective shareholders; and (x) other financial information concerning the businesses and operations of Hamilton and Orrstown that was furnished to us by Hamilton and Orrstown or which we were otherwise directed to use for purposes of our analyses. Our consideration of financial information and other factors that we deemed appropriate under the circumstances or relevant to our analyses included, among others, the following: (i) the historical and current financial position and results of operations of Hamilton and Orrstown; (ii) the assets and liabilities of Hamilton and Orrstown; (iii) the nature and terms of certain other merger transactions and business combinations in the banking industry; (iv) a comparison of certain financial and stock market information for Hamilton and Orrstown with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; (v) financial and operating forecasts and projections of Hamilton that were prepared by, and provided to us and discussed with us by, Hamilton management and that were used and relied upon by us at the direction of such management and with the consent of the Board; (vi) financial and operating forecasts and projections of Orrstown that were prepared by, and provided to us and discussed with us by, Orrstown management and used and relied upon by us based on such discussions, at the direction of Hamilton management and with the consent of the Board; (vii) pro forma balance sheet and capital data of Orrstown as of June 30, 2018, giving effect to Orrstown’s recently completed acquisition of Mercersburg Financial Corporation, that was prepared by Orrstown management, provided to and discussed with us by such management and used and relied upon by us based on such discussions, at the direction of Hamilton management and with the consent of the Board; and (viii) estimates regarding certain pro forma financial effects of the Merger on Orrstown (including, without limitation, the cost savings and related expenses expected to result or be derived from the Merger) that were prepared by, and provided to and discussed with us by, the management of Orrstown, and used and relied upon by us based on such discussions, at the direction of Hamilton management and with the consent of the Board. We have also performed such other studies and analyses as we considered appropriate and have taken into account our assessment of

general economic, market and financial conditions and our experience in other transactions, as well as our experience in securities valuation and knowledge of the banking industry generally. We have also participated in discussions with the managements of Hamilton and Orrstown regarding the past and current business operations, regulatory relations, financial condition and future prospects of their respective companies and such other matters as we have deemed relevant to our inquiry. In addition, we have considered the results of the efforts undertaken, with our assistance, by or on behalf of and at the direction of Hamilton, to solicit indications of interest from third parties regarding a potential transaction with Hamilton.

In conducting our review and arriving at our opinion, we have relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was provided to us or that was publicly available and we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such information or assumed any responsibility or liability for such verification, accuracy or completeness. We have relied upon the management of Hamilton as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections of Hamilton referred to above (and the assumptions and bases therefor), and we have assumed that such forecasts and projections were reasonably prepared and represent the best currently available estimates and judgments of such management and that such forecasts and projections will be realized in the amounts and in the time periods currently estimated by such management. We have further relied, with the consent of Hamilton, upon Orrstown management as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections of Orrstown and the estimates regarding certain pro forma financial effects of the Merger on Orrstown (including, without limitation, the cost savings and related expenses expected to result or be derived from the Merger), all as referred to above (and the assumptions and bases for all such information), and we have assumed that all such information was reasonably prepared and represents the best currently available estimates and judgments of Orrstown management and that the forecasts, projections and estimates reflected in such information will be realized in the amounts and in the time periods currently estimated by such management.

It is understood that the foregoing financial information of Hamilton and Orrstown that was provided to us was not prepared with the expectation of public disclosure and that such information is based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain (including, without limitation, factors related to general economic and competitive conditions) and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in such information. We have assumed, based on discussions with the respective managements of Hamilton and Orrstown and with the consent of the Board, that all such information provides a reasonable basis upon which we could form our opinion and we express no view as to any such information or the assumptions or bases therefor. We have relied on all such information without independent verification or analysis and do not in any respect assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof.

We also assumed that there were no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of either Hamilton or Orrstown since the date of the last financial statements of each such entity that were made available to us. We are not experts in the independent verification of the adequacy of allowances for loan and lease losses and we have assumed, without independent verification and with your consent, that the aggregate allowances for loan and lease losses for Hamilton and Orrstown are adequate to cover such losses. In rendering our opinion, we have not made or obtained any evaluations or appraisals or physical inspection of the property, assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Hamilton or Orrstown, the collateral securing any of such assets or liabilities, or the collectability of any such assets, nor have we examined any individual loan or credit files, nor did we evaluate the solvency, financial capability or fair value of Hamilton or Orrstown under any state or federal laws, including those relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other matters. Estimates of values of companies and assets do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which

companies or assets may actually be sold. Because such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty, we assume no responsibility or liability for their accuracy. In addition, we have undertaken no independent evaluation of any potential or actual litigation to which Hamilton or Orrstown is or may be a party or is or may be subject. We express no view or opinion as to the pending federal securities litigation against Orrstown and certain current and former officers of Orrstown, as to which we understand that Orrstown and Hamilton have conducted such diligence and other investigations, and have obtained such advice from legal counsel, as they deem necessary and against which Orrstown has advised us it intends to vigorously defend itself. With Hamilton’s consent, we have not considered such litigation or any aspect, implication or effect thereof for purposes of our analyses. If the outcome of such litigation had been known or assumed to have a material effect on Orrstown, then the conclusion reached in this opinion could have been affected. In addition, at the direction of Hamilton, we have given no effect to any potential downward adjustment to the Cash Consideration (as provided in the Agreement) for purposes of this opinion.

We have assumed, in all respects material to our analyses, the following: (i) that the Merger and any related transaction (including the Bank Merger) will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the Agreement (the final terms of which we have assumed will not differ in any respect material to our analyses from the execution copy reviewed and referred to above) with no adjustments to the Merger Consideration and with no other consideration or payments in respect of the Hamilton Common Stock; (ii) that the representations and warranties of each party in the Agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred to in the Agreement are true and correct; (iii) that each party to the Agreement and all related documents will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party under such documents; (iv) that there are no factors that would delay or subject to any adverse conditions, any necessary regulatory or governmental approval for the Merger or any related transactions (including the Bank Merger) and that all conditions to the completion of the Merger and any related transaction will be satisfied without any waivers or modifications to the Agreement or any of the related documents; and (v) that in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or approvals for the Merger and any related transaction (including the Bank Merger), no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of Hamilton, Orrstown or the pro forma entity, or the contemplated benefits of the Merger, including without limitation the cost savings and related expenses expected to result or be derived from the Merger. We have assumed that the Merger will be consummated in a manner that complies with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and all other applicable federal and state statutes, rules and regulations. We have further been advised by representatives of Hamilton that Hamilton has relied upon advice from its advisors (other than KBW) or other appropriate sources as to all legal, financial reporting, tax, accounting and regulatory matters with respect to Hamilton, Orrstown, the Merger and any related transaction (including the Bank Merger), and the Agreement. KBW has not provided advice with respect to any such matters.

This opinion addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date hereof, to the holders of Hamilton Common Stock of the Merger Consideration to be received by such holders in the Merger.

It is understood that subsequent developments may affect the conclusion reached in this opinion and that KBW does not have an obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion. Our opinion does not address, and we express no view or opinion with respect to, (i) the underlying business decision of Hamilton to engage in the Merger or enter into the Agreement; (ii) the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any alternative transactions or strategies that are, have been or may be available to or considered by Hamilton or the Board; (iii) the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to any of Hamilton’s officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the compensation to the holders of Hamilton Common Stock; (iv) the effect of the Merger or any related transaction on, or the fairness of the consideration to be received by, holders of any class of securities of Hamilton (other than the holders of Hamilton Common Stock solely with respect to the Merger Consideration, as described herein and not relative to the consideration to be received by holders of any other class of securities) or holders of any class of securities of Orrstown or any other party to any transaction contemplated by the Agreement; (v) any adjustment (as provided in the Agreement) to the Merger Consideration assumed for purposes of our opinion; (vi) whether Orrstown has sufficient cash, available lines of credit or other sources of funds to enable it to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration to the holders of Hamilton Common Stock at the closing of the Merger; (vii) the actual value of Orrstown Common Stock to be issued in the Merger; (viii) the prices, trading range or volume at which Hamilton Common Stock or Orrstown Common Stock will trade following the public announcement of the Merger or the prices, trading range or volume at which Orrstown Common Stock will trade following the consummation of the Merger; (ix) any advice or opinions provided by any other advisor to any of the parties to the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by the Agreement; or (x) any legal, regulatory, accounting, tax or similar matters relating to Hamilton, Orrstown, their respective shareholders, or relating to or arising out of or as a consequence of the Merger or any related transaction (including the Bank Merger), including whether or not the Merger would qualify as a tax-free reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes.

This opinion is for the information of, and is directed to, the Board (in its capacity as such) in connection with its consideration of the financial terms of the Merger. This opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the Board as to how it should vote on the Merger, or to any holder of Hamilton Common Stock or any shareholder of any other entity as to how to vote in connection with the Merger or any other matter, nor does it constitute a recommendation regarding whether or not any such shareholder should enter into a voting, shareholders’, or affiliates’ agreement with respect to the Merger.

This opinion has been reviewed and approved by our Fairness Opinion Committee in conformity with our policies and procedures established under the requirements of Rule 5150 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration to be received by the holders of Hamilton Common Stock in the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.

Very truly yours,

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The following is only a general summary of certain aspects of Pennsylvania law and Orrstown Financial Services’ articles of incorporation and bylaws related to the indemnification of directors and officers, and does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of Sections 1741-1850 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended, or PBCL.

Sections 1741-1743 of the PBCL provide that a business corporation may indemnify directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities provided certain standards are met, including good faith and the belief that the particular action is in the best interests of the corporation. In general, this power to indemnify does not exist in the case of actions against a director or officer by or in the right of the corporation if the person entitled to indemnification shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent a court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. A corporation is required to indemnify directors and officers against expenses they may incur in defending actions against them in such capacities if they are successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of such actions. Section 1746 of the PBCL provides that the foregoing provisions shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under, among other things, any by-law provision, provided that no indemnification may be made in any case where the act or failure or act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness. Section 1747 of the PBCL authorizes a corporation to purchase insurance for directors and other representatives. The foregoing statement is subject to the detailed provisions of Section 1741-1850 of the PBCL.

The bylaws of Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. provide for indemnification of directors and officers to the extent provided in the PBCL. In accordance with Section 1713 of the PBCL, the bylaws of the Registrant also include a provision that the directors of the Registrant shall not be personally liable for monetary damages such for any action taken, or failure to take any action, unless: (1) the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of his office in good faith, in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the company and with such care, including reasonably inquiry, skill and diligence, as a person of ordinary prudence would use under similar circumstances; and (2) the breach or failure to perform constitute self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. Pursuant to Section 1713 of the PBCL, this limitation of personal liability does not apply to (i) the responsibility or liability of a director pursuant to any criminal statute or (ii) the liability of a director for the payment of taxes pursuant to federal state or local law.

Further, the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Registrant or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of the articles of incorporation.

Item 21. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.

(a) See Exhibit Index immediately following the signature page.

(b) Not applicable.

(c) Not applicable.

Item 22. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

II-1

##### Table of Contents

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5) That, in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§230.424 of this chapter);

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-2

##### Table of Contents

(7) That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to offerings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

(8) That every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (7) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(9) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(10) To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(11) To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
