Forward-Looking Statements
As used in this Form 10-Q, the terms "we," "our," "us," "Riverview" and "Company" refer to Riverview Bancorp, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including its wholly-owned subsidiary, Riverview Community Bank, unless the context indicates otherwise.
"Safe Harbor" statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: When used in this Form 10-Q, the words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "forecasts," "intends," "plans," "targets," "potentially," "probably," "projects," "outlook," or similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as "may," "will," "should," "would," and "could," or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, assumptions and statements about future performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated, including, but not limited to: expected cost savings, synergies and other financial benefits from our pending purchase of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of MBank and Merchants Bancorp pursuant to the Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the "Agreement") with Merchants Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiary MBank (the "transaction") might not be realized within the expected time frames or at all, and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters might be greater than expected; the requisite approval of Merchants Bancorp's shareholders and regulatory approvals for the transaction might not be obtained; the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in the Company's allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses that may be impacted by deterioration in the housing and commercial real estate markets; changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in the Company's market areas; changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short and long-term interest rates, deposit interest rates, the Company's net interest margin and funding sources; fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes, land and other properties and fluctuations in real estate values in the Company's market areas; secondary market conditions for loans and the Company's ability to sell loans in the secondary market; results of examinations of our bank subsidiary, Riverview Community Bank, by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and of the Company by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or other regulatory authorities, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require the Company to increase its allowance for loan losses, write-down assets, reclassify its assets, change Riverview Community Bank's regulatory capital position or affect the Company's ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, which could adversely affect its liquidity and earnings; legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect the Company's business including changes in regulatory policies and principles, or the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules, including as a result of Basel III; the Company's ability to attract and retain deposits; increases in premiums for deposit insurance; the Company's ability to control operating costs and expenses; the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of the Company's assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation; difficulties in reducing risks associated with the loans on the Company's consolidated balance sheet; staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect the Company's workforce and potential associated charges; computer systems on which the Company depends could fail or experience a security breach; the Company's ability to retain key members of its senior management team; costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; the Company's ability to implement its business strategies; the Company's ability to successfully integrate any assets, liabilities, customers, systems, and management personnel it may acquire into its operations and the Company's ability to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames and any goodwill charges related thereto; increased competitive pressures among financial services companies; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; the availability of resources to address changes in laws, rules, or regulations or to respond to regulatory actions; the Company's ability to pay dividends on its common stock and interest or principal payments on its junior subordinated debentures; adverse changes in the securities markets; inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to us; changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial institution regulatory agencies or the Financial Accounting Standards Board, including additional guidance and interpretation on accounting issues and details of the implementation of new accounting methods; other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting the Company's operations, pricing, products and services; and the other risks described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Moreover, you should treat these statements as speaking only as of the date they are made and based only on information then actually known to the Company. The Company does not undertake to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. These risks could cause our actual results for fiscal 2017 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements by, or on behalf of, us and could negatively affect the Company's consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations as well as its stock price performance.

RIVERVIEW BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). However, all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Riverview Bancorp, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2016 ("2016 Form 10-K"). The unaudited consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending March 31, 2017.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the December 31, 2016 presentation; such reclassifications had no effect on net income or total equity previously reported.
On September 29, 2016, Riverview Bancorp, Inc. and Riverview Community Bank entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement ("Agreement") with Merchants Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, MBank, of Gresham, Oregon under which Riverview Community Bank will purchase certain assets and assume certain liabilities of MBank in a cash transaction. As part of the transaction and as provided by the Agreement, Riverview Bancorp, Inc. will assume the obligations of Merchant Bancorp's trust preferred securities. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to be completed in the quarter ending March 31, 2017. For additional information about the Agreement, see the Riverview Bancorp, Inc.'s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 29, 2016.

2. | PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of: Riverview Bancorp, Inc.; its wholly-owned subsidiary, Riverview Community Bank (the "Bank"); and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Riverview Services, Inc. and Riverview Trust Company (the "Trust Company") (collectively referred to as the "Company"). On May 24, 2016, Riverview Asset Management Corp. changed its name to Riverview Trust Company. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. During December 2015, the Trust Company repurchased all the remaining shares held by its noncontrolling interest owner. Upon repurchase, these shares were retired. This transaction resulted in the Bank's ownership increasing from 90% to 100%.

3. | STOCK PLANS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

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 in 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 following table presents information related to stock options outstanding for the periods shown:

|  | Nine Months Ended December 31, 2016 |  |  | Nine Months Ended December 31, 2015 |
|  | Number of Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price |  |  | Number of Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price |

Expired |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | (8,000 | ) |  |  | 11.79 |
Balance, end of period |  |  | 220,654 |  |  | $ | 4.74 |  |  |  | 373,654 |  |  | $ | 8.04 |

The following table presents information on stock options outstanding for the periods shown, less estimated forfeitures:

|  | December 31, |
|  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |
Stock options fully vested and expected to vest: |  |  |  |  |  |
Number |  |  | 220,654 |  |  |  | 373,654 |
Weighted average exercise price |  | $ | 4.74 |  |  | $ | 8.04 |
Aggregate intrinsic value (1) |  | $ | 630,000 |  |  | $ | 228,000 |
Weighted average contractual term of options (years) |  |  | 3.60 |  |  |  | 2.83 |
Stock options fully vested and currently exercisable: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Number |  |  | 220,654 |  |  |  | 373,654 |
Weighted average exercise price |  | $ | 4.74 |  |  | $ | 8.04 |
Aggregate intrinsic value (1) |  | $ | 630,000 |  |  | $ | 228,000 |
Weighted average contractual term of options (years) |  |  | 3.60 |  |  |  | 2.83 |
(1) The aggregate intrinsic value of a stock option in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised. This amount changes based on changes in the market value of the Company's stock. |

There was no stock-based compensation expense related to stock options for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. As of December 31, 2016, all outstanding stock options were fully vested, and there was no remaining unrecognized compensation expense. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $5,000 and $16,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes stock option valuation model. There were no stock options granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

4. | EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without considering any dilutive items. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents for items that are dilutive, net of shares assumed to be repurchased using the treasury stock method at the average share price for the Company's common stock during the period. Common stock equivalents arise from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options. Shares owned by the Company's ESOP that have not been allocated are not considered to be outstanding for the purpose of computing basic and diluted EPS. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were 24,633 and 49,266 shares, respectively, which had not been allocated under the Company's ESOP. For both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, stock options for 59,000 shares of common stock were excluded in computing diluted EPS because they were antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, stock options for 215,000 and 221,000 shares, respectively, of common stock were excluded in computing diluted EPS because they were antidilutive.

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized other than temporary impairment ("OTTI") charges of $108,000 and $240,000, respectively, on a collateralized debt obligation secured by a pool of trust preferred securities issued by other bank holding companies. In September 2016, the Company was notified that this collateralized debt obligation will be liquidated in accordance with provisions contained within the collateralized debt obligation indenture agreement. Management concluded that the collateralized debt obligation was other than temporarily impaired based upon the liquidation notice and has recorded the OTTI charges through other non-interest income. As of December 31, 2016, the collateralized debt obligation was reclassified from investment securities available for sale to other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2016, the collateralized debt obligation had been liquidated and proceeds from the liquidation were distributed on January 25, 2017.
The unrealized losses on the Company's investment securities at December 31, 2016 were primarily attributable to increases in market interest rates subsequent to their purchase by the Company. The Company expects the fair value of these securities to recover as the securities approach their maturity dates or sooner if market yields for such securities decline. The Company does not believe that these securities are other than temporarily impaired because of their credit quality or related to any issuer or industry specific event. Based on management's evaluation and intent, the unrealized losses related to the investment securities in the above tables are considered temporary.
The Company had no sales and realized no gains or losses on sales of investment securities available for sale for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Investment securities available for sale with an amortized cost of $11.6 million and $10.2 million and a fair value of $11.5 million and $10.3 million at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively, were pledged as collateral for government public funds held by the Bank. Investment securities held to maturity with an amortized cost of $20,000 and $23,000 and a fair value of $21,000 and $24,000 at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively, were pledged as collateral for government public funds held by the Bank.

The Company considers its loan portfolio to have very little exposure to sub-prime mortgage loans since the Company has not historically engaged in this type of lending. At December 31, 2016, loans carried at $444.5 million were pledged as collateral to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines ("FHLB") and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco ("FRB") pursuant to borrowing agreements.
Most of the Bank's business activity is with customers located in the states of Washington and Oregon. Loans and extensions of credit outstanding at one time to one borrower are generally limited by federal regulation to 15% of the Bank's shareholders' equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Bank had no loans to any one borrower in excess of the regulatory limit.

7. | ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for estimated loan losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. The allowance is provided based upon the Company's ongoing quarterly assessment of the pertinent factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio. These factors include changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency levels, actual loan loss experience, current economic conditions and a detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectability may not be assured. The detailed analysis includes techniques to estimate the fair value of loan collateral and the existence of potential alternative sources of repayment. The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components.
The specific component relates to loans that are considered impaired. For loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows or collateral value (less estimated selling costs, if applicable) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.
The general component covers non-impaired loans based on the Company's risk rating system and historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. The Company calculates its historical loss rates using the average of the last four quarterly 24-month periods. The Company calculates and applies its historical loss rates by individual loan types in its portfolio. These historical loss rates are adjusted for qualitative and environmental factors.
An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that the Company believes have resulted in incurred losses that have not yet been allocated to specific elements of the general and specific components of the allowance for loan losses. Such factors include uncertainties in economic conditions and in identifying triggering events that directly correlate to subsequent loss rates, changes in appraised value of underlying collateral, risk factors that have not yet manifested themselves in loss allocation factors and historical loss experience data that may not precisely correspond to the current portfolio or economic conditions. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. The appropriate allowance level is estimated based upon factors and trends identified by the Company as of the date of the filing of the consolidated financial statements.
11

When available information confirms that specific loans or portions of these loans are uncollectible, identified amounts are charged against the allowance for loan losses. The existence of some or all of the following criteria will generally confirm that a loss has been incurred: the loan is significantly delinquent and the borrower has not demonstrated the ability or intent to bring the loan current; the Company has no recourse to the borrower, or if it does, the borrower has insufficient assets to pay the debt; and/or the estimated fair value of the loan collateral is significantly below the current loan balance, and there is little or no near-term prospect for improvement.
Management's evaluation of the allowance for loan losses is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Loss factors are based on the Company's historical loss experience with additional consideration and adjustments made for changes in economic conditions, changes in the amount and composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency rates, changes in collateral values, seasoning of the loan portfolio, duration of the current business cycle, a detailed analysis of impaired loans and other factors as deemed appropriate. These factors are evaluated on a quarterly basis. Loss rates used by the Company are affected as changes in these factors increase or decrease from quarter to quarter. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses, and may require the Company to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Non-accrual loans: Loans are reviewed regularly and it is the Company's general policy that a loan is past due when it is 30 to 89 days delinquent. In general, when a loan is 90 days delinquent or when collection of principal or interest appears doubtful, it is placed on non-accrual status, at which time the accrual of interest ceases and a reserve for unrecoverable accrued interest is established and charged against operations. As a general practice, payments received on non-accrual loans are applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance on a cost recovery method. Also as a general practice, a loan is not removed from non-accrual status until all delinquent principal, interest and late fees have been brought current and the borrower has demonstrated a history of performance based upon the contractual terms of the note. A history of repayment performance generally would be a minimum of six months. Interest income foregone on non-accrual loans was $56,000 and $92,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Credit quality indicators: The Company monitors credit risk in its loan portfolio using a risk rating system (on a scale of one to nine) for all commercial (non-consumer) loans. The risk rating system is a measure of the credit risk of the borrower based on their historical, current and anticipated future financial characteristics. The Company assigns a risk rating to each commercial loan at origination and subsequently updates these ratings, as necessary, so that the risk rating continues to reflect the appropriate risk characteristics of the loan. Application of appropriate risk ratings is key to management of loan portfolio risk. In determining the appropriate risk rating, the Company considers the following factors: delinquency, payment history, quality of management, liquidity, leverage, earnings trends, alternative funding sources, geographic risk, industry risk, cash flow adequacy, account practices, asset protection and extraordinary risks. Consumer loans, including custom construction loans, are not assigned a risk rating but rather are grouped into homogeneous pools with similar risk characteristics. When a consumer loan is delinquent 90 days, it is placed on non-accrual status and assigned a substandard risk rating. Loss factors are assigned to each risk rating and homogeneous pool based on historical loss experience for similar loans. This historical loss experience is adjusted for qualitative factors that are likely to cause the estimated credit losses to differ from the Company's historical loss experience. The Company uses these loss factors to estimate the general component of its allowance for loan losses.
Pass – These loans have a risk rating between 1 and 4 and are to borrowers that meet normal credit standards. Any deficiencies in satisfactory asset quality, liquidity, debt servicing capacity and coverage are offset by strengths in other areas. The borrower currently has the capacity to perform according to the loan terms. Any concerns about risk factors such as stability of margins, stability of cash flows, liquidity, dependence on a single product/supplier/customer, depth of management, etc. are offset by strength in other areas. Typically, these loans are secured by the operating assets of the borrower and/or real estate. The borrower's management is considered competent. The borrower has the ability to repay the debt in the normal course of business.
Watch – These loans have a risk rating of 5 and are included in the "pass" rating. However, there would typically be some reason for additional management oversight, such as the borrower's recent financial setbacks and/or deteriorating financial position, industry concerns and failure to perform on other borrowing obligations. Loans with this rating are monitored closely in an effort to correct deficiencies.
Special mention – These loans have a risk rating of 6 and are rated in accordance with regulatory guidelines. These loans have 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 credit position at some future date. These loans pose elevated risk but their weakness does not yet justify a "substandard" classification.
Substandard – These loans have a risk rating of 7 and are rated in accordance with regulatory guidelines, for which the accrual of interest may or may not be discontinued. By definition under regulatory guidelines, a "substandard" loan has defined weaknesses which make payment default or principal exposure likely but not yet certain. Repayment of such loans is likely to be dependent upon collateral liquidation, a secondary source of repayment, or an event outside of the normal course of business.
Doubtful – These loans have a risk rating of 8 and are rated in accordance with regulatory guidelines. Such loans are placed on non-accrual status and repayment may be dependent upon collateral which has value that is difficult to determine or upon some near-term event which lacks certainty.
Loss – These loans have a risk rating of 9 and are rated in accordance with regulatory guidelines. Such loans are charged-off or charged-down when payment is acknowledged to be uncertain or when the timing or value of payments cannot be determined. "Loss" is not intended to imply that the loan or some portion of it will never be paid, nor does it in any way imply that there has been a forgiveness of debt.

Impaired loans and troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs"): A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Typically, factors used in determining if a loan is impaired include, but are not limited to, whether the loan is 90 days or more delinquent, internally designated as substandard or worse, on non-accrual status or represents a TDR. The majority of the Company's impaired loans are considered collateral dependent. When a loan is considered collateral dependent, impairment is measured using the estimated value of the underlying collateral, less any prior liens, and when applicable, less estimated selling costs. For impaired loans that are not collateral dependent, impairment is measured using the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. When the estimated net realizable value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (including accrued interest, net deferred loan fees or costs, and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized by adjusting an allocation of the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent to the initial allocation of allowance to the individual loan, the Company may conclude that it is appropriate to record a charge-off of the impaired portion of the loan. When a charge-off is recorded, the loan balance is reduced and the specific allowance is eliminated. Generally, when a collateral dependent loan is initially measured for impairment and has not had an appraisal of the collateral performed in the last six months, the Company obtains an updated market valuation. Subsequently, the Company generally obtains an updated market valuation of the collateral on an annual basis. The collateral valuation may occur more frequently if the Company determines that there is an indication that the market value may have declined.
The following tables present the total and average recorded investment in impaired loans at the dates and for the periods indicated (in thousands):

The cash basis interest income on impaired loans was not materially different than the interest recognized on impaired loans as shown in the above tables.
TDRs are loans for which the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial condition, has granted a concession to the borrower that it would otherwise not consider. A TDR typically involves a modification of terms such as a reduction of the stated interest rate or face amount of the loan, a reduction of accrued interest, and/or an extension of the maturity date(s) at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for a new loan with similar risk. TDRs are considered impaired loans and as such, impairment is measured as described for impaired loans above.
The following table presents TDRs by interest accrual status at the dates indicated (in thousands):

At December 31, 2016, the Company had no commitments to lend additional funds on these loans. At December 31, 2016, all of the Company's TDRs were paying as agreed except for one $189,000 commercial business TDR loan and two commercial real estate TDR loans totaling $1.5 million that defaulted after the loans were modified.
There were no new TDRs for the three months ended December 31, 2016. There was one new TDR for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. This new TDR was a commercial loan with a pre-modification outstanding recorded investment balance of $116,000 and a post-modification outstanding recorded investment balance of $107,000. There were no new TDRs for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2015. There were no loans modified as a TDR within the previous twelve months that subsequently defaulted during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016.
In accordance with the Company's policy guidelines, unsecured loans are generally charged-off when no payments have been received for three consecutive months unless an alternative action plan is in effect. Consumer installment loans delinquent six months or more that have not received at least 75% of their required monthly payment in the last 90 days are charged-off. In addition, loans discharged in bankruptcy proceedings are charged-off. Loans under bankruptcy protection with no payments received for four consecutive months will be charged-off. The outstanding balance of a secured loan that is in excess of the net realizable value is generally charged-off if no payments are received for four to five consecutive months. However, charge-offs are postponed if alternative proposals to restructure, obtain additional guarantors, obtain additional assets as collateral or a potential sale of the underlying collateral would result in full repayment of the outstanding loan balance. Once any other potential sources of repayment are exhausted, the impaired portion of the loan is charged-off. Regardless of whether a loan is unsecured or collateralized, once an amount is determined to be a confirmed loan loss it is promptly charged off.

8. | GOODWILL

Goodwill and certain other intangibles generally arise from business combinations accounted for under the purchase method. Goodwill and other intangibles deemed to have indefinite lives generated from business combinations are not subject to amortization and are instead tested for impairment not less than annually. The Company has two reporting units, the Bank and the Trust Company, for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment.
The Company performed an impairment assessment as of October 31, 2016 and determined that no impairment of goodwill exists. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of the reporting unit's fair value to its carrying value. If the reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying value, the Company would be required to progress to the second step. In the second step, the Company calculates the implied fair value of goodwill. GAAP with respect to goodwill requires that the Company compare the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying amount of goodwill on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. If the carrying amount of the goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss must be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as goodwill recognized in a business combination. The estimated fair value of the Company is allocated to all of the Company's individual assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized identifiable intangible assets, as if the Company had been acquired in a business combination and the estimated fair value of the Company is the price paid to acquire it. The allocation process is performed only for purposes of determining the amount of goodwill impairment, as no assets or liabilities are written up or down, nor are any additional unrecognized identifiable intangible assets recorded as a part of this process. The results of the Company's step one test indicated that the reporting unit's fair value was greater than its carrying value, and, therefore, a step two analysis was not required; however, no assurance can be given that the Company's goodwill will not be written down in future periods.

9. | JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

At December 31, 2016, the Company had two wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trusts that were established for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and common securities. The trust preferred securities accrue and pay distributions periodically at specified annual rates as provided in each trust agreement. The trusts used the net proceeds from each of the offerings to purchase a like amount of junior subordinated debentures (the "Debentures") of the Company. The Debentures are the sole assets of the trusts. The Company's obligations under the Debentures and related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations of the trusts. The trust preferred securities are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity of the Debentures or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indentures. The Company has the right to redeem the Debentures in whole or in part on or after specific dates, at a redemption price specified in the indentures governing the Debentures plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date. The Company also has the right to defer the payment of interest on each of the Debentures for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters, provided that the deferral period does not extend beyond the stated maturity. During such deferral period, distributions on the corresponding trust preferred securities will also be deferred and the Company may not pay cash dividends to the holders of shares of the Company's common stock.
The Debentures issued by the Company to the grantor trusts, totaling $22.7 million, are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets in the liabilities section, under the caption "junior subordinated debentures." The common securities issued by the grantor trusts were purchased by the Company, and the Company's investment in the common securities of $681,000 at both December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company records interest expense on the Debentures in the consolidated statements of income.
The following table is a summary of the terms and amounts outstanding of the Debentures at December 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

Issuance Trust |  | Issuance Date |  |  | Amount Outstanding |  | Rate Type |  | Initial Rate |  |  | Current Rate |  |  | Maturity Date |
Riverview Bancorp Statutory Trust I |  |  | 12/2005 |  |  | $ | 7,217 |  | Variable (1) |  |  | 5.88 | % |  |  | 2.32 | % |  |  | 3/2036 |

10. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. The categories of fair value measurement prescribed by GAAP and used in the tables presented under fair value measurements are as follows:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1): Inputs that are quoted unadjusted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Other observable inputs (Level 2): Inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): Inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Financial instruments are presented in the tables that follow by recurring or nonrecurring measurement status. Recurring assets are initially measured at fair value and are required to be remeasured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements at each reporting date. Assets measured on a nonrecurring basis are assets that, as a result of an event or circumstance, were required to be remeasured at fair value after initial recognition in the consolidated financial statements at some time during the reporting period.
The following tables present assets that are measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at the dates indicated (in thousands):

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments above:
Investment securities – Investment securities are included within Level 1 of the hierarchy when quoted prices in an active market for identical assets are available. The Company uses a third-party pricing service to assist the Company in determining the fair value of its Level 2 securities, which incorporates pricing models and/or quoted prices of investment securities with similar characteristics. The Company's Level 3 assets consisted of a collateralized debt obligation secured by a pool of trust preferred securities issued by other bank holding companies.
For Level 2 securities, the independent pricing service provides pricing information by utilizing evaluated pricing models supported with market data information. Standard inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data from market research publications. The Company's third-party pricing service has established processes for the Company to submit inquiries regarding the estimated fair value. In such cases, the Company's third-party pricing service will review the inputs to the evaluation in light of any new market data presented by the Company. The Company's third-party pricing service may then affirm the original estimated fair value or may update the evaluation on a go-forward basis.
Management reviews the pricing information received from the third-party pricing service through a combination of procedures that include an evaluation of methodologies used by the pricing service, analytical reviews and performance analysis of the prices against statistics and trends. Based on this review, management determines whether the current placement of the security in the fair value hierarchy is appropriate or whether transfers may be warranted. As necessary, the Company compares prices received from the pricing service to discounted cash flow models or by performing independent valuations of inputs and assumptions similar to those used by the pricing service in order to ensure prices represent a reasonable estimate of fair value.
The Company had determined that the market for its collateralized debt obligation secured by a pool of trust preferred securities was inactive. This determination was made by the Company after considering the last known trade dates for this specific security, the low number of transactions for similar types of securities, the low number of new issuances for similar securities, the bid-ask spread in the brokered markets in which these securities trade, the implied liquidity risk premium for similar securities, the lack of information that is released publicly and discussions with third-party industry analysts. Due to the inactivity in the market, observable market data was not readily available for all significant inputs for this security. Accordingly, the collateralized debt obligation was classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company utilized observable inputs where available and unobservable data, and modeled the cash flows adjusted by an appropriate liquidity and credit risk adjusted discount rate using an income approach valuation technique, in order to measure the fair value of the security. Significant unobservable inputs were used that reflected the Company's estimate of assumptions that a market participant would use to price the security. Significant unobservable inputs included the discount rate, the default rate and repayment assumptions. The Company estimated the discount rate by comparing rates for similarly rated corporate bonds, with additional consideration given to market liquidity. The default rates and repayment assumptions were estimated based on the individual issuer's financial condition and historical repayment information, as well as the Company's future expectations of the capital markets.

Impaired loans |  | Appraised value |  | Adjustment for market conditions |  | N/A
REO |  | Appraised value |  | Adjustment for market conditions |  | N/A
(1) There were no adjustments to appraised values of impaired loans for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. There were no adjustments to appraised values of impaired loans or REO for the nine months ended December 31, 2015.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument above:
Impaired loans – For information regarding the Company's method for estimating the fair value of impaired loans, see Note 7 – Allowance For Loan Losses.
In determining the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, the Company primarily uses third-party appraisals which may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available and include consideration of variations in location, size, and income production capacity of the property. Additionally, the appraisals are periodically further adjusted by the Company in consideration of charges that may be incurred in the event of foreclosure and are based on management's historical knowledge, changes in business factors and changes in market conditions.
Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated quarterly for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly based on the same factors identified above. Because of the high degree of judgment required in estimating the fair value of collateral underlying impaired loans and because of the relationship between fair value and general economic conditions, the Company considers the fair value of impaired loans to be highly sensitive to changes in market conditions.
REO – REO is real property that the Bank has taken ownership of in partial or full satisfaction of a loan or loans. REO is recorded at the estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. This amount becomes the property's new basis. Any write downs based on the property's estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. At acquisition date, any write ups (whereby the fair value less estimated costs to sell exceeds the loan basis) are first recovered through the allowance for loan losses if there was a prior charge-off and then applied to any outstanding accrued interest. If no prior charge-off or accrued interest is present, the amount is recorded as a gain on transfer of REO.
The Company considers third-party appraisals in determining the fair value of particular properties. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available and include consideration of variations in location, size, and income production capacity of the property. Additionally, the appraisals are periodically further adjusted by the Company in consideration of charges that may be incurred in the event of foreclosure and are based on management's historical knowledge, changes in business factors and changes in market conditions.
Management periodically reviews REO to help ensure that the property is carried at the lower of its new basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. Any additional write-downs based on a re-evaluation of the property's fair value are charged to non-interest expense. Because of the high degree of judgment required in estimating the fair value of REO and because of the relationship between fair value and general economic conditions, the Company considers the fair value of REO to be highly sensitive to changes in market conditions.

The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with GAAP. The Company, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, has determined the estimated fair value amounts. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data in the development of the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in the future. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
The carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments is as follows at the dates indicated (in thousands):

Fair value estimates were based on existing financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business. The fair value was not estimated for assets and
liabilities that were not considered financial instruments.
Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below:
Cash and cash equivalents – Fair value approximates the carrying amount.
Certificates of deposit held for investment – The fair value of certificates of deposit with stated maturities was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate was estimated using rates currently available in the local market.
Loans receivable and loans held for sale – Loans receivable were priced using a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of loans held for sale was based on the loans' carrying values, as the agreements to sell these loans are short-term fixed rate commitments, and no material difference between the carrying value and expected sales price is deemed likely.
Investment securities – See descriptions above.
FHLB stock – Fair value approximates the carrying amount.
21

Deposits – The fair value of deposits with no stated maturities such as non-interest-bearing demand deposits, interest checking, money market and savings accounts was equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits with stated maturities was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate was estimated using rates currently available in the local market.
Junior subordinated debentures – The fair value of the Debentures was based on the discounted cash flow method. Management believes that the discount rate utilized is indicative of those that would be used by market participants for similar types of debentures.
Capital lease obligation – The fair value of the Company's capital lease obligation is estimated by discounting the cash flows through maturity based on current rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar maturities.
Off-balance sheet financial instruments – The estimated fair value of loan commitments approximates fees recorded associated with such commitments. Since the majority of the Company's off-balance-sheet financial instruments consist of non-fee producing, variable rate commitments, the Company has determined that they do not have a distinguishable fair value.

11. | NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"). 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: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("ASU 2016-01"). The main provisions of ASU 2016-01 address the valuation and impairment of certain equity investments along with simplified disclosures about those investments. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values will be treated in the same manner as other financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The principal change required by this ASU relates to lessee accounting, and is that for operating leases, a lessee is required to (1) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position, (2) recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis, and (3) classify all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ASU 2016-02 also changes disclosure requirements related to leasing activities and requires certain qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of ASU 2016-02 is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred losses methodology for estimating allowances with a current expected credit losses methodology. ASU 2016-13 will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held to maturity investment securities and off-balance sheet commitments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill and eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform
22

procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity 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. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application of ASU 2017-04 is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.

12. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Off-balance sheet arrangements. In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in order to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments generally include commitments to originate mortgage, commercial and consumer loans. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company's maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Commitments to originate loans are conditional and are honored for up to 45 days subject to the Company's usual terms and conditions. Collateral is not required to support commitments.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. These guarantees are primarily used to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held varies and is required in instances where the Company deems it necessary.
Significant off-balance sheet commitments at December 31, 2016 are listed below (in thousands):

|  | Contract or Notional Amount |
Commitments to originate loans: |  |  |
Adjustable-rate |  | $ | 24,100 |
Fixed-rate |  |  | 5,464 |
Standby letters of credit |  |  | 1,439 |
Undisbursed loan funds and unused lines of credit |  |  | 104,686 |
Total |  | $ | 135,689 |

At December 31, 2016, the Company had firm commitments to sell $3.8 million of residential loans to the FHLMC. Typically, these agreements are short-term fixed-rate commitments and no material gain or loss is likely.
Other Contractual Obligations. In connection with certain asset sales, the Company typically makes representations and warranties about the underlying assets conforming to specified guidelines. If the underlying assets do not conform to the specifications, the Company may have an obligation to repurchase the assets or indemnify the purchaser against loss. At December 31, 2016, loans under warranty totaled $115.6 million, which substantially represents the unpaid principal balance of the Company's loans serviced for the FHLMC. The Company believes that the potential for loss under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no related contingent liability has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
The Bank is a public depository and, accordingly, accepts deposit and other public funds belonging to, or held for the benefit of, Washington and Oregon states, political subdivisions thereof, and municipal corporations. In accordance with applicable state law, in the event of default of a participating bank, all other participating banks in the state collectively assure that no loss of funds are suffered by any public depositor. Generally, in the event of default by a public depository, the assessment attributable to all public depositories is allocated on a pro rata basis in proportion to the maximum liability of each depository as it existed on the date of loss. The Company has not incurred any losses related to public depository funds held by other institutions for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
The Company is party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, these actions will not have a material effect, if any, on the Company's future consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The Bank has entered into employment contracts with certain key employees, which provide for contingent payments subject to future events.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This report contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. These measures include net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company's performance. The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in our 2016 Form 10-K under Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies." That discussion highlights estimates that the Company makes that involve uncertainty or potential for substantial change. There have not been any material changes in the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the disclosures contained in the Company's 2016 Form 10-K.
Executive Overview
As a progressive, community-oriented financial services company, the Company emphasizes local, personal service to residents of its primary market area. The Company considers Clark, Cowlitz, Klickitat and Skamania counties of Washington, and Multnomah and Marion counties of Oregon as its primary market area. The counties of Multnomah, Clark and Skamania are part of the Portland metropolitan area as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau. The Company is engaged predominantly in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using such funds in its primary market area to originate commercial business, commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, land, real estate construction, residential real estate and other consumer loans. The Company's net loan portfolio totaled $654.1 million at December 31, 2016 compared to $614.9 million at March 31, 2016.
The Bank's subsidiary, the Trust Company, a trust and financial services company located in downtown Vancouver, Washington, provides full-service brokerage activities, trust and asset management services. In January 2017, the Trust Company opened a second office in Portland Oregon. The Bank's Business and Professional Banking Division, with two lending offices in Vancouver and one in Portland, offers commercial and business banking services.
Vancouver is located in Clark County, Washington, which is just north of Portland, Oregon. Many businesses are located in the Vancouver area because of the favorable tax structure and lower energy costs in Washington as compared to Oregon. Companies located in the Vancouver area include Sharp Microelectronics, Hewlett Packard, Georgia Pacific, Underwriters Laboratory, Wafer Tech, Nautilus, Barrett Business Services, PeaceHealth, Fisher Investments and Banfield Pet Hospitals, as well as several support industries. In addition to this industry base, the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Area and the Portland metropolitan area are sources of tourism, which has helped to transform the area from its past dependence on the timber industry.
The Company's strategic plan includes targeting the commercial banking customer base in its primary market area for loan originations and deposit growth, specifically small and medium size businesses, professionals and wealth building individuals. In pursuit of these goals, the Company will seek to increase the loan portfolio consistent with its strategic plan and asset/liability and regulatory capital objectives, which includes maintaining a significant amount of commercial and commercial real estate loans in its loan portfolio. Significant portions of our new loan originations – which are mainly concentrated in commercial real estate and real estate construction loans – carry adjustable rates, higher yields or shorter terms and higher credit risk than traditional fixed-rate consumer real estate one-to-four family mortgages.
At December 31, 2016, checking accounts totaled $369.6 million, or 44.0% of our total deposit mix compared to $308.3 million or 41.2% a year ago. Our strategic plan also stresses increased emphasis on non-interest income, including increased fees for asset management through the Trust Company and deposit service charges. The strategic plan is designed to enhance earnings, reduce interest rate risk and provide a more complete range of financial services to customers and the local communities the Company serves. We believe we are well positioned to attract new customers and to increase our market share through our 17 branches, including ten in Clark County, two in the Portland metropolitan area and three lending centers.
Economic conditions in the Company's market areas have improved overall from the recent recessionary downturn. According to the Washington State Employment Security Department, unemployment in Clark County decreased to 5.7% at November 30, 2016 compared to 6.3% at March 31, 2016 and 6.0% at December 31, 2015. According to the Oregon Employment Department, unemployment in Portland slightly increased to 4.4% at November 30, 2016 compared to 4.0% at March 31, 2016 and decreased compared to 4.7% at December 31, 2015. According to the Regional Multiple Listing Services ("RMLS"), residential home inventory levels in Portland, Oregon remained at 1.3 months at both December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016 and was 1.2 months at December 31, 2015. Residential home inventory levels in Clark County
24

have decreased to 1.5 months at December 31, 2016 compared to 1.7 months at March 31, 2016 and 1.9 months at December 31, 2015. According to the RMLS, closed home sales in Clark County increased 4.3% and 9.3% during December 2016 compared to March 2016 and December 2015, respectively. Closed home sales in Portland increased 2.2% and decreased 3.3% during December 2016 compared to March 2016 and December 2015, respectively. The Company has also seen an increase in sales activity for building lots during the past twelve months. Commercial real estate leasing activity and the residential real estate market in the Portland/Vancouver area have been thriving and the vacancy rates in the Portland/Vancouver area have been relatively low.
Operating Strategy
The Company's goal is to deliver returns to shareholders by increasing higher-yielding assets (in particular commercial real estate and commercial business loans), increasing core deposit balances, managing problem assets, reducing expenses, hiring experienced employees with a commercial lending focus and exploring expansion opportunities. The Company seeks to achieve these results by focusing on the following objectives:
Execution of our Business Plan. The Company is focused on increasing its loan portfolio, especially higher yielding commercial and construction loans, and our core deposits by expanding our customer base throughout our primary market areas. By emphasizing total relationship banking, the Company intends to deepen the relationships with its customers and increase individual customer profitability through cross-marketing programs, which allows the Company to better identify lending opportunities and services for customers. To build its core deposit base, the Company will continue to utilize additional product offerings, technology and a focus on customer service in working toward this goal. The Company will also continue to seek to expand its franchise through the selective acquisition of individual branches, loan purchases and whole bank transactions that meet its investment and market objectives, such as the recently announced acquisition of certain assets and liabilities from MBank and Merchants Bancorp. Upon closing, the Company will acquire approximately $118.0 million in loans, consisting mostly of commercial and commercial real estate loans located primarily in the Portland market, where the Company currently has two branches and 48% of its commercial related lending.
Maintain Strong Asset Quality. The Company believes that strong asset quality is a key to long-term financial success. The Company has actively managed the delinquent loans and nonperforming assets by aggressively pursuing the collection of consumer debts and marketing saleable properties upon foreclosure or repossession, work-outs of classified assets and loan charge-offs. In the past several years, the Company has applied more conservative and stringent underwriting practices to new loans, including, among other things, increasing the amount of required collateral or equity requirements, reducing loan-to-value ratios and increasing debt service coverage ratios resulting in improved credit metrics/asset quality. Although the Company intends to prudently increase the percentage of its assets consisting of higher-yielding commercial real estate, real estate construction and commercial business loans, which offer higher risk-adjusted returns, shorter maturities and more sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations, the Company intends to manage credit exposure through the use of experienced bankers in these areas and a conservative approach to its lending.
Implementation of a Profit Improvement Plan ("PIP") The Company has formed a committee comprised of several members of management and the board of directors to undertake several initiatives to reduce non-interest expense and continue our on-going efforts to identify cost savings opportunities throughout all aspects of the Company's operations. The PIP committee's mission is not only to find additional cost saving opportunities but also to search for and implement revenue enhancements and additional areas for improvement. The Company has instituted expense control measures such as cancelling certain projects and capital purchases, and reducing travel and entertainment and other noninterest expenditures. In this regard, the Company has reduced its efficiency ratio over the last several years from 98.0% at March 31, 2014 to 75.6% at December 31, 2016.
Introduction of New Products and Services. The Company continuously reviews new products and services to provide its customers more financial options. All new technology and services are generally reviewed for business development and cost saving purposes. The Company continues to experience growth in customer use of its online banking services, where the Bank provides a full array of traditional cash management products as well as online banking products including mobile banking, mobile deposit, bill pay, e-statements, and text banking. The products are tailored to meet the needs of small to medium size businesses and households in the markets we serve. The Bank has implemented remote check capture at all of its branches and for selected customers of the Bank. The Company also intends to selectively add additional products to further diversify revenue sources and to capture more of each customer's banking relationship by cross selling loan and deposit products and additional services to Bank customers, including services provided through the Trust Company to increase its fee income. Assets under management by the Trust Company totaled $403.3 million and $389.1 million at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. During September 2016, the Company began transitioning its existing debit card holders from Visa® to MasterCard®. The change in debit card service providers is expected to increase interchange revenue and provide cost savings to the Company. The full transition was completed during the quarter ended December 31, 2016.
25

Attracting Core Deposits and Other Deposit Products. The Company offers personal checking, savings and money-market accounts, which generally are lower-cost sources of funds than certificates of deposit and are less likely to be withdrawn when interest rates fluctuate. To build its core deposit base, over the past several years, the Company has sought to reduce its dependence on traditional higher cost deposits in favor of stable lower cost core deposits to fund loan growth and decrease its reliance on other wholesale funding sources, including FHLB and FRB advances. The Company believes that its continued focus on building customer relationships will help to increase the level of core deposits and locally-based retail certificates of deposit. In addition, the Company intends to increase demand deposits by growing business banking relationships through expanded product lines tailored to meet its target business customers' needs. The Company maintains technology-based products to encourage the growth of lower cost deposits, such as personal financial management, business cash management, and business remote deposit products, that enable it to meet its customer's cash management needs and compete effectively with banks of all sizes. Core branch deposits (comprised of all demand, savings, interest checking accounts and all time deposits excluding wholesale-brokered deposits, trust account deposits, Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts ("IOLTA"), public funds and Internet based deposits) increased $2.8 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2016 compared to the prior quarter.
Recruiting and Retaining Highly Competent Personnel With a Focus on Commercial Lending. The Company's ability to continue to attract and retain banking professionals with strong community relationships and significant knowledge of its markets will be a key to its success. The Company believes that it enhances its market position and adds profitable growth opportunities by focusing on hiring and retaining experienced bankers focused on owner occupied commercial real estate and commercial lending, and the deposit balances that accompany these relationships. The Company emphasizes to its employees the importance of delivering exemplary customer service and seeking opportunities to build further relationships with its customers. The goal is to compete with other financial service providers by relying on the strength of the Company's customer service and relationship banking approach. The Company believes that one of its strengths is that its employees are also significant shareholders through the Company's employee stock ownership ("ESOP") and 401(k) plans.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016
Cash and cash equivalents, including interest-earning accounts, totaled $28.3 million at December 31, 2016 compared to $55.4 million at March 31, 2016. The decrease in cash balances was primarily driven by the increase in investment securities. The Company has deployed a portion of its excess cash balances into investment securities to earn higher yields than cash held in interest-earning accounts based on its asset/liability program and liquidity objectives in order to maximize earnings. As a part of this strategy, the Company also invests a portion of its excess cash in short-term certificates of deposit. All of the certificates of deposit held for investment are fully insured by the FDIC. At December 31, 2016, certificates of deposits held for investment totaled $11.3 million compared to $16.8 million at March 31, 2016.
Investment securities totaled $207.3 million and $150.7 million at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The Company primarily purchases a combination of securities backed by government agencies (FHLMC, FNMA, SBA or GNMA). During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the Company purchased $92.4 million of investment securities. For the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the Company determined that its single collateralized debt obligation required an OTTI charge. For additional information, see Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Loans receivable, net, totaled $654.1 million at December 31, 2016 compared to $614.9 million at March 31, 2016. The Company has had steady loan demand in its market areas and anticipates continuing organic loan growth. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is secured by real estate, either as primary or secondary collateral, located in the Company's primary market areas. Risks associated with loans secured by real estate include decreases in land and property values, increases in interest rates, deterioration in local economic conditions, tightening credit or refinancing markets, and a geographic concentration of loans. The Company has no option adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) or teaser residential real estate loans in its portfolio.
Beginning in 2014, the Company periodically began purchasing pools of used automobile loans from another financial institution as a way to further diversify its loan portfolio and to earn a higher yield than earned on its cash or short-term investments. These automobile loans are originated through a single dealership group located outside the Company's primary market area. These loans are purchased with servicing retained by the seller. At December 31, 2016, the Company's purchased automobile loan portfolio was $26.4 million compared to $37.4 million at March 31, 2016. The Company did not purchase any pools of used automobile loans during the nine months ended December 31, 2016.
Deposits increased $60.6 million to $840.4 million at December 31, 2016 compared to $779.8 million at March 31, 2016. The Company had no wholesale-brokered deposits as of December 31, 2016 or March 31, 2016. Core branch deposits accounted for 97.0% of total deposits at December 31, 2016 compared to 95.8% at March 31, 2016. The Company plans to continue its focus on core deposits and on building customer relationships as opposed to obtaining deposits through the wholesale markets.
Shareholders' Equity and Capital Resources
Shareholders' equity increased $1.1 million to $109.4 million at December 31, 2016 from $108.3 million at March 31, 2016. The increase was mainly attributable to net income of $5.4 million. The increase was partially offset by dividends declared of $1.4 million and a decrease in other comprehensive income related to unrealized holding loss on securities available for sale of $3.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. As of December 31, 2016, the Bank was "well capitalized" as defined under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as "well capitalized," the Bank must maintain the minimum capital ratios set forth in the table below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is essential to our business. The objective of the Bank's liquidity management is to maintain ample cash flows to meet obligations for depositor withdrawals, to fund the borrowing needs of loan customers, and to fund ongoing operations. Core relationship deposits are the primary source of the Bank's liquidity. As such, the Bank focuses on deposit relationships with local consumer and business clients who maintain multiple accounts and services at the Bank.
Liquidity management is both a short and long-term responsibility of the Company's management. The Company adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) projected loan sales, (iii) expected deposit flows, (iv) yields available on interest-bearing deposits and (v) its asset/liability management program objectives. Excess liquidity is invested generally in interest-bearing overnight deposits and other short-term government and agency obligations. If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it has additional diversified and reliable sources of funds with the FHLB, the FRB and other wholesale facilities. These sources of funds may be used on a long or short-term basis to compensate for a reduction in other sources of funds or on a long-term basis to support lending activities.
The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from the sale of loans, maturing securities, FHLB advances and FRB borrowings. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and prepayment of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Management believes that its focus on core relationship deposits coupled with access to borrowing through reliable counterparties provides reasonable and prudent assurance that ample liquidity is available. However, depositor or counterparty behavior could change in response to competition, economic or market situations or other unforeseen circumstances, which could have liquidity implications that may require different strategic or operational actions.
The Company must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to help ensure the availability of sufficient funds for loan originations, deposit withdrawals and continuing operations, satisfy other financial commitments and take advantage of investment opportunities. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the Company used its sources of funds primarily to fund loan commitments and purchase investment securities. At December 31, 2016, cash and available for sale investment securities totaled $246.8 million, or 25.0% of total assets. The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and short-term investment securities to meet short-term liquidity needs; however, its primary liquidity management practice is
28

to increase or decrease short-term borrowings, including FRB borrowings and FHLB advances. At December 31, 2016, the Company had no advances from the FRB and a borrowing capacity of $62.2 million from the FRB. At December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings from the FHLB and the Company had an available credit facility of $232.0 million. At December 31, 2016, the Company had sufficient unpledged collateral to allow it to utilize its available borrowing capacity from the FRB and the FHLB. Borrowing capacity may, however, fluctuate based on acceptability and risk rating of loan collateral and counterparties could adjust discount rates applied to such collateral at their discretion.
An additional source of wholesale funding includes brokered certificates of deposit. While the Bank has utilized brokered deposits from time to time, the Bank historically has not extensively relied on brokered deposits to fund its operations. At December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Bank had no wholesale brokered deposits. The Bank participates in the CDARS and ICS deposit products, which allows the Company to accept deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit for that depositor and obtain "pass-through" insurance for the total deposit. The Bank's CDARS and ICS balances were $22.4 million, or 2.7% of total deposits, and $27.1 million, or 3.5% of total deposits, at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The Bank is enrolled in an internet deposit listing service which it utilizes from time to time. The combination of all the Bank's funding sources gives the Bank available liquidity of $679.7 million, or 69.0% of total assets at December 31, 2016.
At December 31, 2016, the Company had total commitments of $135.7 million, which includes commitments to extend credit of $29.6 million, unused lines of credit and undisbursed balances of $104.7 million and standby letters of credit totaling $1.4 million. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $72.7 million. Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its deposits as they mature. Offsetting these cash outflows are scheduled loan maturities of less than one year totaling $76.3 million.
As a separate legal entity from the Bank, Riverview Bancorp, Inc. must provide for its own liquidity. Sources of capital and liquidity for Riverview Bancorp, Inc. include distributions from the Bank and the issuance of debt or equity securities. Dividends and other capital distributions from the Bank are subject to regulatory notice. At December 31, 2016, Riverview Bancorp, Inc. had $1.4 million in cash to meet liquidity needs.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets, consisting of nonperforming loans and REO, totaled $3.1 million or 0.31% of total assets at December 31, 2016 compared to $3.3 million or 0.36% of total assets at March 31, 2016.
The following table sets forth information regarding the Company's nonperforming loans at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

|  | December 31, 2016 |  |  | March 31, 2016 |
|  | Number of Loans |  |  | Balance |  |  | Number of Loans |  |  | Balance |

The Company continues to focus on managing the residential construction and land acquisition and development portfolios. At December 31, 2016, the Company's residential construction and land acquisition and development loan portfolios were $20.8 million and $12.3 million, respectively, as compared to $10.0 million and $12.0 million, respectively at March 31, 2016. The percentage of nonperforming loans in the land acquisition and development portfolios at December 31, 2016 was 6.52%, compared to 6.65% at March 31, 2016. There were no nonperforming residential construction loans at December 31, 2016 or March 31, 2016. For the nine months ended December 31, 2016, there were no charge-offs or recoveries in the residential construction portfolio. Net recoveries in the land development portfolio totaled $320,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016.
REO totaled $298,000 at December 31, 2016 compared to $595,000 at March 31, 2016. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, REO sales totaled $267,000 and valuation write-downs were $30,000. There were no transfers to REO for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. The $298,000 balance of REO is comprised of a one-to-four family real estate property located in Washington.
The allowance for loan losses was $10.3 million, or 1.55% of total loans, at December 31, 2016 compared to $9.9 million, or 1.58% of total loans, at March 31, 2016. The ----balance of the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2016 reflects the relatively low levels of delinquent, nonperforming and classified loans, elevated levels of net recoveries, as well as stabilizing real estate values in our market areas. The Company recorded no provision for loan losses for the nine months ended December 31, 2016.
29

The coverage ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 369.18% at December 31, 2016 compared to 364.22% at March 31, 2016. At December 31, 2016, the Company identified $2.5 million or 88.5% of its nonperforming loans as impaired and performed a specific valuation analysis on each loan resulting in no specific reserves being required for these impaired loans. Management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate at December 31, 2016 to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the assessment of various factors affecting the loan portfolio, and the Company believes it has established its existing allowance for loan losses in accordance with GAAP. However, a decline in local economic conditions, results of examinations by the Company's regulators, or other factors could result in a material increase in the allowance for loan losses and may adversely affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations. In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses will be adequate or that substantial increases will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate or should collateral values decline as a result of the factors discussed elsewhere in this document. For further information regarding the Company's impaired loans and allowance for loan losses, see Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") are loans for which the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial condition, has granted a concession to the borrower that it would otherwise not consider. A TDR typically involves a modification of terms such as a reduction of the stated interest rate or face amount of the loan, a reduction of accrued interest, or an extension of the maturity date(s) at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for a new loan with similar risk.
TDRs are considered impaired loans and as such, when a loan is deemed to be impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured using discounted cash flows using the original note rate, except when the loan is collateral dependent. In these cases, the estimated fair value of the collateral (less any selling costs, if applicable) is used. Impairment is recognized as a specific component within the allowance for loan losses if the estimated value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan. When the amount of the impairment represents a confirmed loss, it is charged off against the allowance for loan losses. At December 31, 2016, the Company had TDRs totaling $12.1 million of which $9.6 million were on accrual status. However, all of the Company's TDRs at December 31, 2016 were paying as agreed except for one TDR commercial business loan of $189,000 and two TDR commercial real estate loans totaling $1.5 million that defaulted since the loans were modified. The related amount of interest income recognized on TDRs was $394,000 and $509,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
The Company has determined that, in certain circumstances, it is appropriate to split a loan into multiple notes. This typically includes a nonperforming charged-off loan that is not supported by the cash flow of the relationship and a performing loan that is supported by the cash flow. These may also be split into multiple notes to align portions of the loan balance with the various sources of repayment when more than one exists. Generally the new loans are restructured based on customary underwriting standards. In situations where they were not, the policy exception qualifies as a concession, and if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, the loans are accounted for as TDRs.
The accrual status of a loan may change after it has been classified as a TDR. The Company's general policy related to TDRs is to perform a credit evaluation of the borrower's financial condition and prospects for repayment under the revised terms. This evaluation includes consideration of the borrower's sustained historical repayment performance for a reasonable period of time. A sustained period of repayment performance generally would be a minimum of six months and may include repayments made prior to the restructuring date. If repayment of principal and interest appears doubtful, it is placed on non-accrual status.

Other loans of concern, which are classified as substandard loans and are not presently included in the non-accrual category, consist of loans where the borrowers have cash flow problems, or the collateral securing the respective loans may be inadequate. In either or both of these situations, the borrowers may be unable to comply with the present loan repayment terms, and the loans may subsequently be included in the non-accrual category. Management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate to cover the probable losses inherent in these and other loans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Contractual Obligations
In the normal course of operations, the Company enters into certain contractual obligations and other commitments. Obligations generally relate to funding of operations through deposits and borrowings as well as leases for premises. Commitments generally relate to lending operations.
The Company has obligations under long-term operating and capital leases, principally for building space and land. Lease terms generally cover five-year periods, with options to extend, and are not subject to cancellation. During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company modified its lease agreement on its operations center reducing the Company's square footage leased and extending the lease agreement to November 2039.
The Company has commitments to originate fixed and variable rate mortgage loans to customers. Because some commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Undisbursed loan funds and unused lines of credit include funds not disbursed but committed to construction projects and home equity and commercial lines of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.
For further information regarding the Company's off-balance sheet arrangements and other contractual obligations, see Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Goodwill Valuation
Goodwill is initially recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is presumed to have an indefinite useful life and is tested, at least annually, for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company has two reporting units, the Bank and the Trust Company, for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment. All of the Company's goodwill has been allocated to the Bank reporting unit. The Company performs an annual review in the third quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if indications of potential impairment exist, to determine if the recorded goodwill is impaired. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill at the reporting unit level is not considered impaired and no additional analysis is necessary. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is greater than its fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and additional analysis must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. Specifically, the Company would allocate the fair value to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that would calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, the Company would record an impairment charge for the difference.
A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant decline in our expected future cash flows; a sustained, significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; adverse action or assessment by a regulator; and unanticipated competition. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of these assets and could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test during the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. Step one of the goodwill impairment test estimates the fair value of the reporting unit utilizing the allocation of corporate value approach, the income approach and the market approach in order to derive an enterprise value of the Company. The allocation of corporate value approach applies the aggregate market value of the Company and divides it among the reporting units. A key assumption in this approach is the control premium applied to the aggregate market value. A control premium is utilized as the value of a company from the perspective of a controlling interest and is generally higher than the widely quoted market price per share. The Company used an expected control premium of 30%, which was based on comparable transactional history. The income approach uses a reporting unit's projection of estimated operating results and cash flows that is discounted using a rate that reflects current market conditions. The projection uses management's best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period including growth rates in loans and deposits, estimates of future expected changes in net interest margins and cash expenditures. Assumptions used by the Company in its discounted cash flow model (income approach) included an annual revenue growth rate that approximated 8.0%, a net interest margin that approximated 4.0% and a return on assets that ranged from 0.83% to 1.23% (average of 1.04%). In addition to utilizing the above projections of estimated operating results, key assumptions used to determine the fair value estimate under the income approach were the discount rate of 13.85% utilized for our cash flow estimates and a terminal value estimated at 1.56 times the ending book value of the reporting unit. The Company used a build-up approach in developing the discount rate that included: an assessment of the risk free interest rate, the rate of return expected from publicly traded stocks, the industry the Company operates in and the size of the Company. The market approach estimates fair value by applying tangible book value multiples to the reporting unit's operating performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics of the reporting unit. In applying the market approach method, the Company selected eight publicly traded comparable institutions based on a variety of financial metrics (tangible equity, leverage ratio, return on
32

assets, return on equity, net interest margin, nonperforming assets, net charge-offs, and reserves for loan losses) and other relevant qualitative factors (geographical location, lines of business, business model, risk profile, availability of financial information, etc.). After selecting comparable institutions, the Company derived the fair value of the reporting unit by completing a comparative analysis of the relationship between their financial metrics listed above and their market values utilizing a market multiple of 1.0 times tangible book value. The Company calculated a fair value of its reporting unit of $159.3 million using the corporate value approach, $151.8 million using the income approach and $150.0 million using the market approach, with a final concluded value of $152.0 million, with primary weight given to the market approach. The results of the Company's step one test indicated that the reporting unit's fair value was greater than its carrying value and therefore no impairment of goodwill exists.
Even though the Company determined that there was no goodwill impairment, a decline in the value of its stock price as well as values of other financial institutions, declines in revenue for the Company beyond our current forecasts, significant adverse changes in the operating environment for the financial industry or an increase in the value of our assets without an increase in the value of the reporting unit may result in a future impairment charge.
It is possible that changes in circumstances existing at the measurement date or at other times in the future, or in the numerous estimates associated with management's judgments, assumptions and estimates made in assessing the fair value of our goodwill, could result in an impairment charge of a portion or all of our goodwill. If the Company recorded an impairment charge, its financial position and results of operations would be adversely affected; however, such an impairment charge would have no impact on our liquidity, operations or regulatory capital.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
Net Income. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $2.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, and $1.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, respectively. Net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $5.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, and $5.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, respectively. The earnings for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same prior year periods primarily reflect the growth in the Company's loan portfolio which resulted in an improvement in net interest income. There was no provision for loan losses for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. Net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 included a recapture of loan losses of $800,000.
Net Interest Income. The Company's profitability depends primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the income it receives on interest-earning assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. When the rate earned on interest-earning assets equals or exceeds the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, this positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income. The Company's results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government legislation and regulation, and monetary and fiscal policies.
Net interest income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 was $8.5 million and $24.4 million, respectively, representing a $1.0 million and $2.6 million increase, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015. The net interest margin for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 was 3.75% and 3.73%, respectively, compared to 3.69% and 3.67% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, respectively. This increase in the net interest margin was primarily the result of the increase in the average balance on loans receivable.
The Company achieves better net interest margins in a stable or increasing interest rate environment as a result of the consolidated balance sheet being slightly asset interest rate sensitive. At December 31, 2016, 7.26% of our loan portfolio had adjustable (floating) interest rates. At December 31, 2016, $27.5 million, or 56.98% of our adjustable (floating) loan portfolio contained interest rate floors, below which the loans' contractual interest rates may not adjust. The inability of these loans to adjust downward has contributed to increased income in the currently low interest rate environment; however, net interest income will be reduced in a rising interest rate environment until such time as the current rate exceeds these interest rate floors. At December 31, 2016, $10.8 million or 1.63% of the loans in the Company's loan portfolio were at the floor interest rate of which $8.8 million or 81.89% had yields that would begin floating again once the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate increases at least 150 basis points.
Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 was $9.0 million and $25.7 million, respectively, compared to $7.9 million and $23.1 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. The increases were due primarily to an increase in interest income on loans receivable as a result of an increase in the average balance of net loans.
The average balance of net loans increased $51.5 million and $59.7 million to $658.2 million and $645.6 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, respectively, from $606.8 million and $585.9 million for the same prior year periods, respectively. The average yield on net loans was 4.75% and 4.72% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, respectively, compared to 4.66% and 4.72% for the same three and nine months in the prior year, respectively.
33

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $16,000 to $450,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2016, compared to $434,000 for the same prior year period. Interest expense remained constant at $1.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Although deposit balances increased, the Company's decision to maintain low interest offerings on its deposit products in addition to the downward shift in the percentage of deposits representing certificates of deposit that yield a higher interest rate compared to savings and demand deposit accounts that yield a lower interest rate has resulted in a decline in the average cost of deposits. The weighted average interest rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased to 0.18% for both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 from 0.20% and 0.21%, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year.
The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities as well as the total dollar amounts of interest earned on average interest-earning assets and interest paid on average interest-bearing liabilities, resultant yields, interest rate spread, ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities and net interest margin (dollars in thousands):

Provision for Loan Losses. There was no provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016. There was no provision for loan losses for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The recapture of loan losses for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 was $800,000. The lack of a provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 and the recapture of loan losses for nine months ended December 31, 2015 continue to be driven by the elevated level of net recoveries and the low levels of delinquent, nonperforming and classified loans, as well as the stabilization of real estate values in our market areas.
Net recoveries for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 were $226,000 and $404,000, respectively, compared to net recoveries for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 totaling $60,000 and $211,000, respectively. The net recoveries occurred primarily as a result of the decrease in charge-offs as nonperforming loans declined and the improvement and stabilization of real estate values in our market areas as well as an increase in recoveries on previously charged off loans. Nonperforming loans were $2.8 million at December 31, 2016 compared to $3.9 million at December 31, 2015. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 369.18% at December 31, 2016 compared to 258.13% at December 31, 2015. See "Asset Quality" above for additional information related to asset quality that management considers in determining the provision for loan losses.
Impaired loans are subjected to an impairment analysis to determine an appropriate reserve amount to be held against each loan. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had identified $12.1 million of impaired loans. Because the significant majority of the impaired loans are collateral dependent, nearly all of the specific allowances are calculated based on the estimated fair value of the collateral. Of those impaired loans, $10.9 million have no specific valuation allowance as their estimated collateral value is equal to or exceeds the carrying cost, which in some cases is the result of previous loan charge-offs. At December 31, 2016, charge-offs on these impaired loans totaled $333,000 from their original loan balances. The remaining $1.2 million have specific valuation allowances totaling $102,000.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $84,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same prior year period. The decrease for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was primarily due to a decrease in asset management fees of $121,000. This decrease was partially offset by an increase on the net gain on sales of loans held for sale of $66,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same prior year period.
Non-interest income increased $246,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same prior year period. The increase for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was due to an increase in fees and service charges and gain on sale of loans of $75,000 and $68,000, respectively. Additionally, non-interest income also included a BOLI death benefit on a former employee of $407,000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in asset management fees of $197,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same prior year period. Other non-interest income decreased during the nine months ended December 31, 2016 due to a $240,000 OTTI charge related to a collateralized debt obligation security. Additionally, losses on sales of REO decreased $145,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same prior year period.
36

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $502,000 and $1.7 million to $7.9 million and $24.1 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, respectively, compared to $7.3 million and $22.4 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015. The increase for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 was due to increases of $398,000 and $919,000, respectively in salaries and employee benefits, and $133,000 and $393,000, respectively, in professional fees mainly due to the purchase and assumption agreement with MBank. For the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the increase was also attributed to cost associated with a litigation settlement of $500,000. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, the above increases were partially offset by a decrease of $50,000 and $102,000, respectively, in FDIC insurance premiums and a decrease of $63,000 and $459,000, respectively in real estate owned expenses compared to the same prior year periods.
Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $991,000 and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, respectively, compared to a provision for income taxes of $849,000 and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, respectively. The effective tax rate was 33.2% and 31.0% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, respectively, compared to 33.2% and 32.9% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, management deemed that a deferred tax asset valuation allowance related to the Company's deferred tax asset was not necessary. At December 31, 2016, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $8.7 million compared to $9.2 million at March 31, 2016.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in the 2016 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a) - 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2016 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company's senior management. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as in effect on December 31, 2016 were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. In the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Company did not make any changes in its internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, these controls.
While the Company believes that the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements attributable to errors or fraud may occur and not be detected.
