13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Retirement Plan - The Riverview Bancorp, Inc. Employees’ Savings and Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) is a defined contribution profit-sharing plan incorporating the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Company expenses related to the Plan for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $212,000, $195,000 and $192,000, respectively.

Directors Deferred Compensation Plan - Directors may elect to defer their monthly directors’ fees until retirement with no income tax payable by the director until retirement benefits are received. Chairman, President, Executive and Senior Vice Presidents of the Company may also defer salary into this plan. This alternative is made available to them through a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The Company accrues annual interest on the unfunded liability under the Directors Deferred Compensation Plan based upon a formula relating to gross revenues, which amounted to 3.36%, 3.18% and 4.15% for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The estimated liability under the plan is accrued as earned by the participant. At March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s aggregate liability under the plan was $302,000 and $297,000, respectively.

Stock Option Plans - In July 1998, shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the 1998 Stock Option Plan (“1998 Plan”). The 1998 Plan was effective October 1998 and expired in October 2008. Accordingly, no further option awards may be granted under the 1998 Plan; however, any awards granted prior to its expiration remain outstanding subject to their terms. Each option granted under the 1998 Plan has an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant, a maximum term of ten years and a vesting period from zero to five years.

In July 2003, shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the 2003 Stock Option Plan (“2003 Plan”). The 2003 Plan was effective July 2003 and expired in July 2013. Accordingly, no further option awards may be granted under the 2003 Plan; however, any awards granted prior to its expiration remain outstanding subject to their terms. Each option granted under the 2003 Plan has an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant, a maximum term of ten years and a vesting period from zero to five years.

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes based stock option valuation model. The fair value of all awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which are generally the vesting periods. The expected life of options granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The expected life is determined based on historical experience with similar options, giving consideration to the contractual terms and vesting schedules. Expected volatility was estimated at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. Expected dividends are based on dividend trends and the market value of the Company’s common stock at the time of grant. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. During the year ended March 31, 2014, the Company granted 87,154 stock options. The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the year ended March 31, 2014 was $1.18. The Company did not grant stock options during the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2013.

The Black-Scholes model uses the assumptions listed in the following table:

	Risk Free Interest Rate		Expected Life (years)	Expected Volatility		Expected Dividends
Fiscal 2015	-	%	-	-	%	-	%
Fiscal 2014	1.95		6.25	51.87		2.04
Fiscal 2013	-		-	-		-

As of March 31, 2015, all outstanding stock options were fully vested and there was no remaining unrecognized compensation expense. The Company recognized pre-tax compensation expense related to stock options of $26,000, $78,000 and $2,000 for the years ended March 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
