SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT FOR HAMILTON BANK 401(K) PROFIT SHARING PLAN
 

 
This is a summary of the annual report for the HAMILTON BANK 401(K) PROFIT SHARING PLAN (Employer Identification Number 52‐0242752, Plan Number 002) for the plan year 01/01/2015 through 12/31/2015. The annual report has been filed with the Employee Benefits Security Administration, as required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
 
Basic Financial Statement
 
Plan expenses were $41,407. These expenses included $1,738 in administrative expenses and $39,669 in benefits paid to participants and beneficiaries, and $0 in other expenses. A total of 60 persons were participants in or beneficiaries of the plan at the end of the plan year, although not all of these persons had yet earned the right to receive benefits.
 
The value of plan assets, after subtracting liabilities of the plan, was $2,468,143 as of the end of the plan year, compared to $2,048,431 as of the beginning of the plan year. During the plan year the plan experienced a change in its net assets of $419,712. This change includes unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the value of plan assets; that is, the difference between the value of the plan's assets at the end of the year and the value of the assets at the beginning of the year or the cost of assets acquired during the year. The plan had total income of $461,119, including employer contributions of $96,611, employee contributions of $245,678, other contributions/other income of $87,663 and earnings from investments of $31,167.
 
Information Regarding Plan Assets
 
The U.S. Department of Labor’s regulations require that an independent qualified public accountant audit the plan’s financial statements unless certain conditions are met for the audit requirement to be waived. This plan met the audit waiver conditions for the plan year beginning 01/01/2015 and therefore has not had an audit performed.
 
The plan’s assets were held in individual participant accounts with investments directed by participants and beneficiaries and with account statements from regulated financial institutions furnished to the participant or beneficiary at least annually and other qualifying assets.
 
General information regarding the audit waiver conditions applicable to the plan can be found on the U.S. Department of Labor Web site at http://www.dol.gov/ebsa under the heading "Frequently Asked Questions."
