NOTE 2 - COMMON STOCK SPLIT

On August 30, 2016, the Company's board of directors declared a three-for-two stock split, effected in the form of a stock dividend, on the Company's common stock. Each shareholder of record on September 15, 2016, received one additional share of common stock for every two shares of common stock owned. The stock was issued September 30, 2016. All references in the financial statements to the number of shares outstanding, dividends declared and per share amounts of the Company's common stock have been restated to reflect the effect of the stock split for all periods presented.

The Company paid shareholders cash in-lieu of fractional shares of common stock in connection with the split, at a price of $31.75 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on September 14, 2016. The total cash in-lieu paid out for fractional shares was $5,000, and was accounted for as a reduction of capital stock.

(1) Represents dividends paid and undistributed earnings allocated to nonvested stock-based awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends.
(2) Share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the three-for-two stock split effective September 30, 2016, for all periods presented. Refer to Note 2.
(3) Represents the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted shares and vesting of restricted stock units and vesting ofutilizing the treasury stock method. Not included are the unvested LTIP awards thatas they have not met the performance criteria as applicable, utilizingfor the treasury stock method.periods presented.
(4)(3) Represents stock-based awards not included in the computation of potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted EPS as the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock and are considered anti-dilutive.
(4) Share and per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 have been adjusted to reflect the three-for-two stock split effective September 30, 2016.

Nonvested stock-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and are included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Certain of the Company’s nonvested stock-based awards qualify as participating securities. 
  
Net income is allocated between the common stock and participating securities pursuant to the two-class method. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding participating nonvested stock-based awards. 
 
Diluted EPS is computed in a similar manner, except that the denominator includes the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares were issued using the treasury stock method.

Impaired Securities
Management periodically reviews the Company’s investment portfolio to determine the cause, magnitude and duration of declines in the fair value of each security. Thorough evaluations of the causes of the unrealized losses are performed to determine whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary in nature. Considerations such as the ability of the securities to meet cash flow requirements, levels of credit enhancements, risk of curtailment, and recoverability of invested amount over a reasonable period of time, and the length of time the security is in a loss position, for example, are applied in determining OTTI. Once a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the security is permanently reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.
 
The following table presents the estimated fair values and gross unrealized losses of investment securities that were in a continuous loss position at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016, by length of time that individual securities in each category have been in a continuous loss position:

The Bank’s lending activities are primarily conducted in Maine, but also include a mortgage loan production office in Massachusetts and its footprint continues to expand into othera commercial loan production office in New England states, including New Hampshire and Massachusetts.Hampshire. The Company originates single family and multi-family residential loans, commercial real estate loans, business loans, municipal loans and a variety of consumer loans. In addition, the Company makes loans for the construction of residential homes, multi-family properties and commercial real estate properties. The ability and willingness of borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the level of overall economic activity within the geographic area and the general economy.

The HPFC loan portfolio consists of niche commercial lending to the small business medical field, including dentists, optometrists and veterinarians across the U.S. The ability and willingness of borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the success of the borrower's business. Unlike the Bank's loan portfolio, there is, generally, little to no indication of credit quality issues and/or concerns of borrowers honoring their commitments until a payment is delinquent. Generally, once a payment is delinquent, if the payment is not received shortly thereafter to bring the loan current, the loan is deemed impaired (typically within 45 days). Effective February 19, 2016, the Company closed HPFC's operations and is no longer originating loans.

The ALL is management’s best estimate of the inherent risk of loss in the Company’s loan portfolio as of the consolidated statement of condition date. Management makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of the loan portfolio and provides an allowance for potential losses based on a number of factors including historical losses. If those assumptions are incorrect, the ALL may not be sufficient to cover losses and may cause an increase in the allowance in the future. Among the factors that could affect the Company’s ability to collect loans and require an increase to the allowance in the future are: (i) financial condition of borrowers; (ii) real estate market changes; (iii) state, regional, and national economic conditions; and (iv) a requirement by federal and state regulators to increase the provision for loan losses or recognize additional charge-offs.

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company's internal policy for assessing individual loans for impairment was changed to increase the principal balance threshold for a loan from $250,000 to $500,000. The qualitative factors for assessing a loan individually for impairment in accordance with the Company's internal policy were unchanged, and continue to require the loan to be classified as substandard or doubtful and on non-accrual status. There were no other significant changes in the Company's ALL methodology during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.

The Board of Directors monitors credit risk through the Directors' Loan Review Committee, which reviews large credit exposures, monitors the external loan review reports, reviews the lending authority for individual loan officers when required, and has approval authority and responsibility for all matters regarding the loan policy and other credit-related policies, including reviewing and monitoring asset quality trends, concentration levels, and the ALL methodology. The Company's Credit Risk Administration and the Credit Risk Policy Committee oversee the Company's systems and procedures to monitor the credit


quality of its loan portfolio, conduct a loan review program, maintain the integrity of the loan rating system, determine the adequacy of the ALL and support the oversight efforts of the Directors' Loan Review Committee and the Board of Directors. The Company's practice is to proactively manage the portfolio such that management can identify problem credits early, assess and implement effective work-out strategies, and take charge-offs as promptly as practical. In addition, the Company continuously reassesses its underwriting standards in response to credit risk posed by changes in economic conditions. For


purposes of determining the ALL, the Company disaggregates its loans into portfolio segments, which include residential real estate, commercial real estate, commercial, home equity, consumer and HPFC. Each portfolio segment possesses unique risk characteristics that are considered when determining the appropriate level of allowance. These risk characteristics unique to each portfolio segment include:

Residential Real Estate. Residential real estate loans held in the Company's loan portfolio are made to borrowers who demonstrate the ability to make scheduled payments with full consideration to underwriting factors. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan-to-value ratios within established policy guidelines. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on one- to four-family residential properties.

Commercial Real Estate. Commercial real estate loans consist of mortgage loans to finance investments in real property such as multi-family residential, commercial/retail, office, industrial, hotels, educational, health care facilities and other specific use properties. Commercial real estate loans are typically written with amortizing payment structures. Collateral values are determined based upon appraisals and evaluations in accordance with established policy guidelines. Loan-to-value ratios at origination are governed by established policy and regulatory guidelines. Commercial real estate loans are primarily paid by the cash flow generated from the real property, such as operating leases, rents, or other operating cash flows from the borrower.

Commercial. Commercial loans consist of revolving and term loan obligations extended to business and corporate enterprises for the purpose of financing working capital and/or capital investment. Collateral generally consists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, plant & equipment, or real estate, if applicable. Commercial loans are primarily paid by the operating cash flow of the borrower. Commercial loans may be secured or unsecured.

Home Equity. Home equity loans and lines are made to qualified individuals for legitimate purposes secured by senior or junior mortgage liens on owner-occupied one- to four-family homes, condominiums, or vacation homes. The home equity loan has a fixed rate and is billed as equal payments comprised of principal and interest. The home equity line of credit has a variable rate and is billed as interest-only payments during the draw period. At the end of the draw period, the home equity line of credit is billed as a percentage of the principal balance plus all accrued interest. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan-to-value ratios within established policy guidelines.

Consumer. Consumer loan products including personal lines of credit and amortizing loans made to qualified individuals for various purposes such as education, auto loans, debt consolidation, personal expenses or overdraft protection. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income and collateral requirements within established policy guidelines. Consumer loans may be secured or unsecured.

HPFC. HPFC is a niche lender that providesPrior to the Company's closing of HPFC's operations, effective February 19, 2016, it provided commercial lending to dentists, optometrists and veterinarians, many of which arewere start-up companies. HPFC's loan portfolio consists of term loan obligations extended for the purpose of financing working capital and/or purchase of equipment. Collateral may consistconsists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, and/or equipment. These loans are primarily paid by the operating cash flow of the borrower and the terms range from seven to ten years.

(1)The provision (credit) for loan losses excludes any impact for the change in the reserve for unfunded commitments, which represents management's estimate of the amount required to reflect the probable inherent losses on outstanding letters of credit and unused lines of credit. The reserve for unfunded commitments is presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, and December 31, 2015,2016, the reserve for unfunded commitments was $14,000, $24,000$7,000, $22,000 and $22,000,$11,000, respectively.

The following table reconciles the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, and year ended December 31, 20152016 provision for loan losses to the provision for credit losses as presented on the consolidated statement of income:

The provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $1.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was driven by (i) the increase in loans (excluding loans held for sale) of $761.9 million since September 30, 2015, of which $615.4 million the Company acquired as part of the SBM acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2015, as well as (ii) the deterioration of one commercial real estate and one commercial credit in the second quarter of 2016 accounting for $2.3 million of the provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company placed the commercial real estate loan on non-accrual status in the second quarter of 2016, and the commercial loan was previously on non-accrual status. The recorded investment balance of the commercial real estate loan at September 30, 2016 was $11.3 million and the recorded investment balance of the commercial loan at September 30, 2016 was $1.6 million. The Company believes that the credit deterioration of these two credits were driven by specific facts and circumstances of the borrowers and does not represent a systemic issue across its commercial real estate or commercial loan portfolios. In the third quarter of 2016, the Company partially charged-off $1.4 million of the aforementioned commercial loan, which was previously reserved for in the second quarter of 2016.

The Company focuses on maintaining a well-balanced and diversified loan portfolio. Despite such efforts, it is recognized that credit concentrations may occasionally emerge as a result of economic conditions, changes in local demand, natural loan growth and runoff. To ensure that credit concentrations can be effectively identified, all commercial and commercial real estate loans are assigned Standard Industrial Classification codes, North American Industry Classification System codes, and state and county codes. Shifts in portfolio concentrations are monitored by the Company's Credit Risk Administration. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the non-residential building operatorsoperators' industry exposure was 13%12% of the Company's total loan portfolio and 33%28% of the total commercial real estate portfolio. There were no other industry exposures exceeding 10% of the Company's total loan portfolio as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.

To further identify loans with similar risk profiles, the Company categorizes each portfolio segment into classes by credit risk characteristic and applies a credit quality indicator to each portfolio segment. The indicators for commercial, commercial real estate, residential real estate, and HPFC loans are represented by Grades 1 through 10 as outlined below. In general, risk ratings are adjusted periodically throughout the year as updated analysis and review warrants. This process may include, but is not limited to, annual credit and loan reviews, periodic reviews of loan performance metrics, such as delinquency rates, and quarterly reviews of adversely risk rated loans. The Company uses the following definitions when assessing grades for the purpose of evaluating the risk and adequacy of the ALL:



Grade 1 through 6 — Grades 1 through 6 represent groups of loans that are not subject to adverse criticism as defined in regulatory guidance. Loans in these groups exhibit characteristics that represent low to moderate risks, which is measured using a variety of credit risk criteria, such as cash flow coverage, debt service coverage, balance sheet leverage, liquidity, management experience, industry position, prevailing economic conditions, support from secondary sources of repayment and other credit factors that may be relevant to a specific loan. In general, these loans are supported by properly margined collateral and guarantees of principal parties.
Grade 7 — Loans with potential weakness (Special Mention). Loans in this category are currently protected based on collateral and repayment capacity and do not constitute undesirable credit risk, but have potential weakness that may result in deterioration of the repayment process at some future date. This classification is used if a negative trend is evident in the obligor’s financial situation. Special mention loans do not sufficiently expose the Company to warrant adverse classification.
Grade 8 — Loans with definite weakness (Substandard). Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by collateral pledged. Borrowers experience difficulty in meeting debt repayment requirements. Deterioration is sufficient to cause the Company to look to the sale of collateral.
Grade 9 — Loans with potential loss (Doubtful). Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in the substandard grade with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation of the loan in full highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of some loss is extremely high, but because of specific pending factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.
Grade 10 — Loans with definite loss (Loss). Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible. The loss classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the asset because recovery and collection time may be protracted.

Asset quality indicators are periodically reassessed to appropriately reflect the risk composition of the Company’s loan portfolio. Home equity and consumer loans are not individually risk rated, but rather analyzed as groups taking into account delinquency rates and other economic conditions which may affect the ability of borrowers to meet debt service requirements, including interest rates and energy costs. Performing loans include loans that are current and loans that are past due less than 90 days. Loans that are past due over 90 days and non-accrual loans, including TDRs, are considered non-performing.

The Company closely monitors the performance of its loan portfolio for both the Bank and HPFC.portfolio. A loan is placed on non-accrual status when the financial condition of the borrower is deteriorating, payment in full of both principal and interest is not expected as scheduled or principal or interest has been in default for 90 days or more. Exceptions may be made if the asset is well-secured by collateral sufficient to satisfy both the principal and accrued interest in full and collection is reasonably assured. When one loan


to a borrower is placed on non-accrual status, all other loans to the borrower are re-evaluated to determine if they should also be placed on non-accrual status. All previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed at this time. A loan may return to accrual status when collection of principal and interest is assured and the borrower has demonstrated timely payments of principal and interest for a reasonable period. Unsecured loans, however, are not normally placed on non-accrual status because they are charged-off once their collectability is in doubt.

The following is a loan aging analysis by portfolio segment (including loans past due over 90 days and non-accrual loans) and a summary of non-accrual loans, which include TDRs, and loans past due over 90 days and accruing as of the following dates:

TDRs:
The Company takes a conservative approach with credit risk management and remains focused on community lending and reinvesting. The Company works closely with borrowers experiencing credit problems to assist in loan repayment or term modifications. TDR loans consist of loans where the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, granted a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. TDRs, typically, involve term modifications or a reduction of either interest or principal. Once such an obligation has been restructured, it will remain a TDR until paid in full, or until the loan is again restructured at current market rates and no concessions are granted.

The specific reserve allowance was determined by discounting the total expected future cash flows from the borrower at the original loan interest rate, or if the loan is currently collateral-dependent, using the NRV,net realizable value, which was obtained through independent appraisals and internal evaluations. The following is a summary of TDRs, by portfolio segment, and the associated specific reserve included within the ALL as of the periods indicated:

NOTE 6 – SBM ACQUISITION

On October 16, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of SBM, as previously reported. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company made certain measurement-period adjustments to its initial purchase accounting that decreased goodwill reported at December 31, 2015 by $960,000. These measurement-period adjustments increased the previously reported loan balance by $137,000, increased acquired interest receivable and other assets by $157,000, and increased acquired deferred tax assets $666,000. The measurement-period adjustments will not have a material effect on current or future years' net income and were presented and disclosed prospectively in accordance with ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.


The Company completed its purchase accounting for the SBM acquisition in the second quarter of 2016. The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

NOTE 86 – REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
 
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FRB and the OCC. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company and the Bank are required to maintain certain levels of capital based on risk-adjusted assets. These capital requirements represent quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and the Bank's capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by our regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. The quantitative measures established to ensure capital adequacy require usthe Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total, Tier I capital, and common equity Tier I to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to average assets, or the leverage ratio. These guidelines apply to the Company on a consolidated basis.



Under the current guidelines, banking organizations must have a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, a minimum Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a minimum common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%, and a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0% in order to be "adequately capitalized." In addition to these requirements, banking organizations must maintain a 2.5% capital conservation buffer consisting of common Tier I equity, subject to a transition schedule with a full phase-in by 2019. Effective January 1, 2016,2017, the Company and the Bank were required to establish a capital conservation buffer of 0.625%1.25%, increasing the minimum required total risk-based capital, Tier I risk-based and common equity Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets they must maintain to avoid limits on capital distributions and certain bonus payments to executive officers and similar employees.

The Company and the Bank's risk-based capital ratios exceeded regulatory guidelines at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016, and specifically the Bank was "well capitalized" under prompt corrective action provisions for each period. There were no new conditions or events that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2017 that would change the Company or Bank's regulatory capital capitalization. The following table presents the Company and Bank's regulatory capital ratios at the periods indicated:

On October 8, 2015, the Company issued $15.0 million of 10 year subordinated debentures bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.50%. In addition, $43.0 million of junior subordinated debentures were issued in connection with the issuance of trust preferred securities in 2006 and 2008. Although the subordinated debentures and the junior subordinated debentures are recorded as liabilities on the Company's consolidated statements of condition, the Company is permitted, in accordance with regulatory guidelines, to include, subject to certain limits, each within its calculation of risk-based capital. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, $15.0 million of subordinated debentures were included as Tier II capital and were included in the calculation of the Company's total risk-based capital, and, at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, $43.0 million of the junior subordinated debentures were included in Tier I and total risk-based capital for the Company.
The Company and Bank's regulatory capital and risk-weighted assets fluctuate due to normal business, including profits and losses generated by the Company and Bank as well as changes to their asset mix. Of particular significance are changes within the Company and Bank's loan portfolio mix due to the difference in regulatory risk-weighting differences between retail and commercial loans. Furthermore, the Company and Bank's regulatory capital and risk-weighted assets are subject to change due to changes in GAAP and regulatory capital standards. The Company and Bank proactively monitor their regulatory capital and risk-weighted assets, and the impact of changes to their asset mix, and impact of proposed and pending changes as a result of new and/or amended GAAP standards and regulatory changes.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company had the following discrete period items impacting its effective tax rate:
In the second quarter of 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 was adopted effective as of January 1, 2016. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the Company accounted for its windfall tax benefits or shortfalls generated upon exercise of a non-qualified stock option or a disqualifying incentive stock option, or upon vesting of its restricted shares through shareholders' equity (or as income tax expense to the extent the Company did not have a windfall tax benefit surplus). Upon adoption, the Company has accounted for its windfall tax benefits and shortfalls generated within income tax expense on the consolidated statements of income as a discrete period item in the quarter generated. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded net windfall tax benefits of $63,000 and $427,000, respectively, reducing the Company's effective tax rate and increasing net income for the respective periods.
In the second quarter of 2016, the Company received death benefits from its BOLI policy from one of its insureds totaling $578,000, of which $394,000 was recognized as income on the consolidated statements of income within bank-owned life insurance. The income recognized was non-taxable reducing the Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

In conjunction with the SBM acquisition, the Company incurred $537,000 of equity issuance costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 related to the registration of additional shares of the Company's common stock. These costs were non-deductible for tax purposes and increased the Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The Company did not incur any equity issuance costs for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

NOTE 1310 – REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Company can raise additional liquidity by entering into repurchase agreements at its discretion. In a security repurchase agreement transaction, the Company will generally sell a security, agreeing to repurchase either the same or substantially identical security on a specified later date, at a greater price than the original sales price. The difference between the sale price and purchase price is the cost of the proceeds, which is recorded as interest expense on the consolidated statement of income. The securities underlying the agreements are delivered to counterparties as security for the repurchase obligations. Since the securities are treated as collateral and the agreement does not qualify for a full transfer of effective control, the transactions does not meet the criteria to be classified as a sale, and is therefore considered a secured borrowing transaction for accounting purposes. Payments on such borrowings are interest only until the scheduled repurchase date. In a repurchase agreement, the Company is subject to the risk that the purchaser may default at maturity and not return the securities underlying the agreements. In order to minimize this potential risk, the Company either deals with established firms when entering into these transactions or with customers whose agreements stipulate that the securities underlying the agreement are not delivered to the customer and instead are held in segregated safekeeping accounts by the Company's safekeeping agents.



The table below sets forth information regarding the Company’s repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings and types of collateral as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015:2016:

NOTE 1411 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND DISCLOSURE
 
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined using quoted market prices. However, in many instances, quoted market prices are not available. In such instances, fair values are determined using various valuation techniques. Various assumptions and observable inputs must be relied upon in applying these techniques. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
 
GAAP permits an entity to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and other items at fair value. The Company has elected the fair value option for its loans held for sale. Electing the fair value option for loans held for sale enables the Company’s financial position to more clearly align with the economic value of the actively traded asset.

The fair value hierarchy for valuation of an asset or liability is as follows:
 
Level 1:   Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
 
Level 2:   Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, from quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.
 
Level 3:   Valuation is derived from model-based and other techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and which may be based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.
 
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon model-based techniques incorporating various assumptions including interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit losses. Assets and liabilities valued using model-based techniques are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the lowest level classification of an input that is considered significant to the overall valuation. A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Loans Held For Sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted secondary market prices or executed sales agreements and is classified as Level 2.

AFS Securities:  The fair value of debt AFS securities is reported utilizing prices provided by an independent pricing service based on recent trading activity and other observable information including, but not limited to, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, market interest rate curves, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond’s terms and conditions. The fair value of debt securities are classified as Level 2.

The fair value of equity AFS securities is reported utilizing market prices based on recent trading activity. The equity securities are traded on inactive markets and are classified as Level 2.

Derivatives:  The fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps, isincluding its junior subordinated debt interest rate swaps, FHLBB advance interest rate swaps and customer loan swaps, are determined using inputs that are observable in the market place obtained from third parties including yield curves, publicly available volatilities, and floating indexes and, accordingly, are classified as Level 2 inputs. The credit value adjustments associated with derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. As of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives due to collateral postings.

The fair value of the Company's fixed rate interest rate lock commitments isare determined based on currentusing secondary market pricing for loans with similar structures, including term, rate and borrower credit quality, adjusted for the Company's pull-through rate estimate (i.e. estimate of loans within its pipeline that will ultimately complete the origination process and be funded). The Company has classified its fixed rate interest rate lock commitments as Level 2 as the quoted secondary market prices are the


more significant input, and while the Company's internal pull-through rate estimate is a Level 3 estimate it is not as critical to the ultimate valuation.

The fair value of the Company's forward delivery commitments are determined using secondary market pricing for loans with similar assets instructures, including term, rate and borrower credit quality, and the locked and agreed to price with the secondary market and, therefore,investor. The Company has classified its fixed rate interest rate lock commitments as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.2.



The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. The Company’s policy for determining transfers between levels occurs at the end of the reporting period when circumstances in the underlying valuation criteria change and result in transfer between levels.


Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis 
The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period.

Collateral-Dependent Impaired Loans:  Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. TheEffective January 1, 2017, the Company's policy is to individually evaluate for impairment loans with a principal balance greater than $500,000 or more and are classified as substandard or doubtful and are on non-accrual status. Prior to January 1, 2017, the Company's policy was to individually evaluate for impairment loans with a principal balance greater than $250,000 or more and arewas classified as substandard or doubtful and arewas on non-accrual status. Once the population of loans is identified for individual impairment assessment, the Company measures these loans for impairment by comparing NRV,net realizable value, which is the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell, to the carrying value of the loan. If the NRVnet realizable value of the loan is less than the carrying value of the loan, then a loss is recognized as part of the ALL to adjust the loan's carrying value to NRV.net realizable value. Accordingly, certain collateral-dependent impaired loans are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Management has estimated the fair values of these assets using Level 2 inputs, such as the fair value of collateral based on independent third-party market approach appraisals for collateral-dependent loans, and Level 3 inputs where circumstances warrant an adjustment to the appraised value based on the age of the appraisal and/or comparable sales, condition of the collateral, and market conditions.

MSRs:  The Company accounts for mortgage servicing assets at cost, subject to impairment testing. When the carrying value of a tranche exceeds fair value, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the carrying cost to fair value. Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The Company obtains a third-party valuation based upon loan level data including note rate, type and term of the underlying loans. The model utilizes a variety of observabletwo significant unobservable inputs, for its assumptions, the most significant of which are loan prepayment assumptions and the discount rate used, to discount future cash flows. Other assumptions include delinquency rates, servicing cost inflationcalculate the fair value of each tranche, and, annual unit loan cost. MSRs areas such, the Company has classified within Level 23 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Non-Financial Assets and Non-Financial Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company has no non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis consist of OREO and goodwill and other intangible assets. 

OREO: OREO properties acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure are recorded at NRV,net realizable value, which is the fair value of the real estate, less estimated costs to sell. Any write-down of the recorded investment in the related loan is charged to the ALL upon transfer to OREO. Upon acquisition of a property, a current appraisal is used or an internal valuation is prepared to substantiate fair value of the property. After foreclosure, management periodically, but at least annually, obtains updated valuations of the OREO properties and, if additional impairments are deemed necessary, the subsequent write-downs for declines in value are recorded through a valuation allowance and a provision for losses charged to other non-interest expense within the consolidated statements of income. As management considers appropriate, adjustments are made to the appraisal obtained for the OREO property to account for recent sales activity of comparable properties, changes in the condition of the property, and changes in market conditions. These adjustments are not observable in an active market and are classified as Level 3.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The fair value of goodwill is estimated by utilizing several standard valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses, bank merger multiples, and/or an estimation of the impact of business conditions and investor activities on the long-term value of the goodwill. Should an impairment of either reporting unit's goodwill occur, the associated goodwill is written-down to fair value and the impairment charge is recorded within non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. The Company conducts an annual impairment test of goodwill in the fourth quarter each year, or more frequently as necessary. There have been no indications or triggering events during for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 for which management believes that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired.

The Company's core deposit intangible assets represent the estimated value of acquired customer relationships and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of those relationships. Core deposit intangibles are reviewed for


impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If necessary, management will test the core deposit intangibles for impairment by comparing its carrying value to the expected undiscounted cash flows of the assets. If the undiscounted cash flows of the intangible assets exceed its carrying value then the intangible assets are deemed to be fully recoverable and not impaired. However, if the undiscounted cash flows of the intangible assets are less than its carrying value, then an impairment charge is recorded to mark the carrying value of the intangible assets to fair value. There were no events or changes in circumstances for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 that indicated the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

GAAP requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair values of its other financial instruments.
 
Cash and Due from Banks:  The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statements of condition approximate fair value.

HTM securities:  The fair value is estimated utilizing prices provided by an independent pricing service based on recent trading activity and other observable information including, but not limited to, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, market interest rate curves, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond’s terms and conditions. The fair value is classified as Level 2.
 
Loans:  For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair value of other loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
 
Interest Receivable and Payable:  The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statements of condition approximate fair value.
 
Deposits:  The fair value of demand, interest checking, savings and money market deposits is determined as the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using market rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
Borrowings:  The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings from the FHLB,FHLBB, securities sold under repurchase agreements, notes payable and other short-term borrowings approximate fair value. The fair values of long-term borrowings and


commercial repurchase agreements are based on the discounted cash flows using current rates for advances of similar remaining maturities.
 
Subordinated Debentures:  The fair values of are based on quoted prices from similar instruments in inactive markets.

NOTE 1512 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND DERIVATIVES

Legal Contingencies 
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiariessubsidiary are subject to pending and threatened legal actions. Although the Company is not able to predict the outcome of such actions, after reviewing pending and threatened actions with counsel, management believes that based on the information currently available the outcome of such actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position as a whole.statements.
 
Reserves are established for legal claims only when losses associated with the claims are judged to be probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated. In many lawsuits and arbitrations, it is not possible to determine whether a liability has been incurred or to estimate the ultimate or minimum amount of that liability until the case is close to resolution, in which case a reserve will not be recognized until that time.
 


As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the Company did not have any material loss contingencies for which accruals were provided for and/or disclosure was deemed necessary.



In the third quarter of 2016, the Company, as claimant, received legal proceeds from the settlement of a legal matter of $638,000. The proceeds have been recorded within other income on the Company's consolidated statements of income for three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to both on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments involving, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in addition to the amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of condition.

The following is a summary of the contractual and notional amounts of the Company’s financial instruments:

Lending-Related Instruments
The contractual amounts of the Company’s lending-related financial instruments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements since certain of these instruments may expire without being funded and others may not be fully drawn upon. These instruments are subject to the Company’s credit approval process, including an evaluation of the customer’s creditworthiness and related collateral requirements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes (primarily interest rate risk) and not for trading or speculative purposes. The Company controls the credit risk of these instruments through collateral, credit approvals and monitoring procedures. Additionally, as part of Company's normal mortgage origination process, it provides the borrower with the option to lock their interest rate based on current market prices. During the period from commitment date to the loan closing date, the Company is subject to the risk of interest rate change. In an effort to mitigate such risk the Company may enter into forward delivery sales commitments, typically on a "best-efforts" basis, with certain approved investors. The Company accounts for its interest rate lock commitments on loans within the normal origination process for which it intends to sell as a derivative instrument. Furthermore, the Company records a derivative for its "best-effort" forward delivery commitments upon origination of a loan identified as held for sale. Should the Company enter into a forward delivery commitment on a mandatory delivery arrangement with an investor it accounts for the forward delivery commitment upon execution of the contract.

Derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument is dependent upon whether or not it qualifies and has been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and further, by the type of hedging relationship.

The Company has designated its interest rate swaps on its junior subordinated debentures and its interest rate swaps on forecasted 30-day FHLBB borrowings as cash flow hedges. The change in the fair value of the Company's cash flow hedges is accounted for within OCI, net of tax. Quarterly, in conjunction with financial reporting, the Company assesses each cash flow


hedge for ineffectiveness. To the extent any significant ineffectiveness is identified, this amount is recorded within the consolidated statements of income. Furthermore, the Company will reclassify the gain or loss on the effective portion of the cash flow hedge from OCI into interest within the consolidated statements of income in the period the hedged transaction affects earnings.



The change in fair value of the Company's other derivative instruments, not designated and qualifying as hedges, are accounted for within the consolidated statements of income.
  
Junior Subordinated Debt Interest Rate Swaps:
The Company, from time to time, will enter into an interest rate swap agreement with a counterparty to manage interest rate risk associated with its variable rate borrowings. The Company’sCompany has entered into a master netting arrangement with its counterparty and settles payments with the counterparty quarterly on a net basis. The interest rate swap arrangements contain provisions that require the Company to post cash or other assets as collateral with the counterparty for contracts that are in a net liability position based on their fair values and the Company’s credit rating. If the interest rate swaps are in a net asset position based on their fair value, the counterparty is required towill post collateral to the Company.Company as requested. At June 30, 2017, the Company had $9.5 million of cash posted as collateral to the counterparty. The collateral posted by the Company (or counterparty) iswas not readily available and has been presented within cash and due from banks on the consolidated statements of condition. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had a notional amount of $43.0 million in variable-for-fixed interest rate swap agreements on its junior subordinated debentures and $13.5 million of cash as collateral to the counterparty at September 30, 2016.

FHLBB Advance Interest Rate Swaps:
The Bank has two interest rate swap arrangements with a counterparty on two tranches of 30-day FHLBB advances with a total notional amount of $50.0 million. Each derivative arrangement commenced on February 25, 2016, with one contract set to expire on February 25, 2018 and the other on February 25, 2019. The Bank entered into these interest rate swaps to mitigate its interest rate exposure on borrowings in a rising interest rate environment. The Bank has designated each arrangement as a cash flow hedge in accordance with GAAP, and, therefore, the change in unrealized gains or losses on the derivative instruments is recorded within AOCI, net of tax. Also, quarterly, in conjunction with financial reporting, the Company assesses each derivative instrument for ineffectiveness. To the extent any significant ineffectiveness is identified this amount would be recorded within the consolidated statements of income. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not record any ineffectiveness within the consolidated statements of income.

Customer Loan Swaps:
The CompanyBank will enter into interest rate swaps with its commercial customers, from time to time, to provide them with a means to lock into a long-term fixed rate, while simultaneously the CompanyBank enters into an arrangement with a counterparty to swap the fixed rate to a variable rate to allow it to effectively manage its interest rate exposure.

The Company'sBank's customer loan level derivative program is not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. As the interest rate swap agreements have substantially equivalent and offsetting terms, they do not materially change the Company’sBank's interest rate risk or present any material exposure to the Company's consolidated statements of income. The Company records its customer loan swaps at fair value and presents such on a gross basis within other assets and accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition.condition

NOTE 1613 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2016,May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, S2017-09, tatementCompensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain CashReceipts and Cash PaymentsModification Accounting (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)("ASU 2017-09"). The ASU 2017-09 was issued to provide clarification about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award would require application of modification accounting in Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. ASU 2017-09 is to be applied prospectively effective as of the adoption date.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2017-09, effective as of January 1, 2017. The Company has not had any modifications to its share-based awards for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and, as such, there was no impact upon adoption to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities ("ASU 2017-08"). ASU 2017-08 was issued to shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities purchased and carried at a premium, by requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date of the debt security. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The


Company will adopt on a modified retrospective basis with any necessary adjustments to retained earnings as a cumulative-effect adjustment. While the Company continues to assess the impact of ASU 2017-08, it does not expect the ASU will have a material impact to its financial statements upon adoption.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost ("ASU 2017-07"). ASU 2017-07 was issued to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement by Companies to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost, as well as provide other guidance on eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. Theto improve consistency, transparency and usefulness. ASU 2017-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, andincluding interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company does not expectthose annual periods. ASU 2017-07 is to be applied upon adoption retrospectively for the ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In the second quarter of 2016, the Company elected to early adopt ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, issued by the FASB in March 2016. The Company applied the provisionspresentation of the ASU effective asservice cost component and the other components of January 1, 2016,net periodic pension cost and as such, previously reported balances onnet periodic postretirement benefit cost in the Company's consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were updated to account for the ASU adoption as follows:
  Three Months Ended

  As Previously Reported As Adjusted Change
Net income $8,334

 $0.56
 $0.02
(1) Period presented adjusted for three-for-two stock split on September 30, 2016. Refer to Note 2.

Two of the more significant provisions of the ASU that impacted the Company's consolidated financial statements were (i) the accounting for windfall tax benefits or shortfalls within income tax expense as a discrete period item in the quarter the event occurred and (ii) a policy election to not estimate the forfeiture rate on unvested share-based compensation awards. As a result of the ASU adoption in the second quarter of 2016, net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $63,000 and $425,000, respectively. Basic and diluted EPS both increased $0.02 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 upon adoption of the ASU, while for the three months ended September 30, 2016 there was no change to basic or diluted EPS.

In accordance with the ASU, the Company applied the provisions to account for windfall tax benefits or shortfalls within income tax expense on a prospective basis as of January 1, 2016. In accordance with the ASU, the Company applied its policy election to not estimate the forfeiture rate on unvested share-based compensation awards on a modified-retrospective basis. The impact of such resulted in a reclassification of $72,000 from retained earnings to common stock shown as a cumulative effect adjustment on the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity.income. The other provisions of the ASU did2017-07 are not applicable to the Company. While the Company continues to assess the impact of ASU 2017-07, it does not expect the ASU will have a material effectimpact to its financial statements upon adoption.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 was issued to reduce the cost and complexity of the goodwill impairment test. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, step two of the goodwill impairment test was eliminated. Instead, in accordance with ASU 2017-04, a Company will recognize an impairment of goodwill should the carrying value of a reporting unit exceed its fair value (i.e. step one). ASU 2017-04 will be effective for the Company on the Company's consolidated financial statements.January 1, 2020 and will be applied prospectively.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.Instruments The ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 was issued to require timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company is evaluatingwill adopt the potential impactguidance under a modified-retrospective approach, whereby a cumulative-effect adjustment will be made to retained earnings upon adoption. The Company will use a prospective transition approach for debt securities for which an OTTI had been recognized before the effective date, as applicable.

While the Company continues to prepare for the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, it anticipates the ASU; however, anticipates that itstandard will have a material impact on itsthe Company's consolidated financial statements.statements upon adoption as it will require:
A change in the Company's assessment of its ALL and allowance on unused commitments as it will transition from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model, which will likely result in an increase in the ALL upon adoption and may negatively impact the Company and Bank's regulatory capital ratios.
May reduce the carrying value of the Company's HTM investment securities as it will require an allowance on the expected losses over the life of these securities to be recorded upon adoption.
Changes to the considerations when assessing AFS debt securities for OTTI, including (i) no longer considering the amount of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position and (ii) no longer considering the historical and implied volatility of a security and recoveries or declines in the fair value after the balance sheet date, as well as the presentation of OTTI as an allowance rather than a permanent write-down of the debt security.
Changes to the disclosure requirements to reflect the transition from an incurred loss methodology to an expected credit loss methodology, as well as certain disclosures of credit quality indicators in relation to the amortized cost of financing receivables disaggregated by year of origination (or vintage).

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). The ASU 2016-02 was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities (including operating leases) on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Current lease accounting does not require the inclusion of operating leases in the balance sheet. The ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, early application is permitted. The Company expectswill adopt under a modified-retrospective approach.

Upon adoption, ASU 2016-02 is will increase the Company's total assets and liabilities on its consolidated statements of condition as its operating leases will be accounted for as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability; however, the Company does


not anticipate that upon adoption the ASU will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and is currently evaluatingof income. The Company continues to evaluate the impact.impact of adoption of this standard.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Income Statement - Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities.Liabilities The ("ASU 2016-01"). ASU 2016-01 was issued to enhance the reporting

The ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. EarlyThe Company will adopt ASU 2016-01 through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet upon adoption.

The Company will adopt ASU 2016-01 effective January 1, 2018. Upon adoption, is permitted for only onethe Company will be required to recognize unrealized gains and losses on its equity securities directly through the Company's consolidated statements of income, whereas these equity securities currently are designated as AFS and unrealized gains and losses are recognized within AOCI. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the six amendments, otherwise it is not permitted.Company's equity securities was $1.2 million and $741,000, respectively, with a cost basis of $632,000. The Company is evaluatingdoes not anticipate this portion of ASU 2016-01 will materially impact the potential impactCompany's financial position upon adoption.

ASU 2016-01 also requires Companies to utilize an "exit price" fair value methodology for purposes of disclosing the ASUfair value of financial assets and liabilities not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis. The Company currently discloses the fair value of its consolidated financial statements.loan portfolio segments using an "entry price" fair value methodology (as disclosed within Note 11).

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic(Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.Date The ("ASU 2015-14"). ASU 2015-14 was issued to defer the effective date of UpdateASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"), for all entities by one year. ASU 2014-09 was issued to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard. ASU 2014-09 is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.

The Company continuesplans to evaluateadopt the revenue recognition guidance in the first quarter of 2018 and is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2014-09, as updated by ASU 2015-14, but currently does not expecton non-interest income on the ASU to have a material effect on itsCompany's consolidated financial statements.position, as well as other presentation and disclosure items. Additionally, the Company anticipates using the modified-retrospective transition method upon adoption.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. In preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management is required to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses reported. Actual results could materially differ from our current estimates, as a result of changing conditions and future events. Several estimates are particularly critical and are susceptible to significant near-term change, including:including (i) the allowance for creditloan losses; (ii) accounting for acquisitions and the subsequent review of goodwill and other identifiablecore deposit intangible assets generated in an acquisition for impairment; (iii) OTTI of investments; (iv) accounting for postretirement plans; and (v) income taxes.

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company's internal policy for assessing individual loans for impairment was changed to increase the principal balance threshold for a loan from $250,000 to $500,000. The qualitative factors for assessing a loan individually for impairment in accordance with the Company's internal policy were unchanged, and continue to require the loan to be classified as substandard or doubtful and on non-accrual status.

There have been no other material changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016. Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016 for discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION TO GAAP

In addition to evaluating ourthe Company’s results of operations in accordance with GAAP, management supplements this evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures.measures, such as the efficiency ratio; tax equivalent net interest income; tangible book value per share; tangible common equity ratio; and return on average tangible equity. We utilize these non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of measuring our performance against our peer group and other financial institutions and analyzing our internal performance. We also believe these non-GAAP financial measures help investors tobetter understand ourthe Company’s operating performance and trends and allow for better performance comparisons to other banks. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures remove the impact of certainunusual items that may obscure trends in ourthe Company’s underlying performance. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP financialoperating results, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financialperformance measures that may be presented by other financial institutions.

Efficiency Ratio.Ratio. The efficiency ratio which represents an approximate measure of the cost required for the Company to generate a dollar of revenue,revenue. This is a common measure within our industry and is a key ratio for evaluating Company performance. The efficiency ratio is calculated as the ratio of (i) total non-interest expense, excluding merger and acquisition costs (the numerator)adjusted for certain operating expenses to (ii) net interest income on a fully taxabletax equivalent basis (assumed 35% tax rate) plus total non-interest income, adjusted for net gain on sale of securities, BOLI death benefits and legal settlement proceeds (the denominator). Certain revenues are excluded from reported non-interestcertain other income and certain expenses are excluded from reported non-interest expense to remove the effect of certain transactions as we do not believe these depict our normal run-rate operations.items.

Operating Results
Net income for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 was $10.9$10.2 million and $29.2$20.3 million, respectively, compared to $6.5 million and $19.3 million forrepresenting increases over the same periods last year.year of 6% and 11%. Diluted EPS for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 was $0.70$0.66 per share and $1.88$1.30 per share, respectively, representing an increaseincreases of 23%6% and 10% compared to, respectively, over the same periods last year. Our strong performance reflectsreturn on average assets for the growth from our traditional marketsthree and those acquired through our merger in October 2015, as well as our continued focus on operating efficiencies. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017 was 1.03% and 1.04%, respectively, while our return on average assets increased 11equity over the same periods was 10.17% and 10.27%.

The increase in net income for the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 was driven by a decrease in the provision for credit losses of $1.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income of $664,000.
The provision for credit losses decreased $1.5 million to $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to $2.3 million of specific provision provided for two loans in the second quarter of 2016 that did not reoccur in the second quarter of 2017. This was partially offset by an increase in our net charge-offs to average loans ratio (annualized) for the second quarter of 2017 of 4 basis points to 1.02%0.11% compared to the second quarter of 2016.
Non-interest income decreased $664,000 to $9.9 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to less commercial back-to-back loan swap fee income of $903,000 and our return ona decrease in bank-owned life insurance of $322,000. Non-interest income increased across all other channels, including debit card income, service charges and related fees, fiduciary services and brokerage and insurance commissions, compared to the second quarter of 2016.

The increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period last year was driven by a decrease in the provision for credit losses and non-interest expense of $1.7 million.
The provision for credit losses decreased $1.7 million to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to a lower net charge-offs to average shareholders' equity increased 10loans ratio (annualized) for the first half of 2017 of 4 basis points to 10.29%0.05% and $2.3 million of specific provision in the first half of 2016 on two loans that did not reoccur in the first half of 2017. This was partially offset by loan growth in the first half of 2017 of $141.7 million compared to $95.1 million for the same period last year.
Non-interest expense decreased $1.7 million to $43.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by the absence of merger-related expenses for the first half of 2017 compared to $821,000 for the same period last year and a decrease in sub-servicing costs of $620,000 as we exited a sub-servicing contract effective December 31, 2016.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the interest earned on loans, securities, and other interest-earning assets, plus net loan fees, origination costs, and accretion or amortization of fair value marks on loans and/or CDs created in purchase accounting, less the interest paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings. Net interest income, which is our largest source of revenue and accountsaccounted for 74% and 76%75% of total revenues (net interest income and non-interest income) for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015, respectively,2016, is affected by factors including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, loan and deposit pricing strategies and competitive conditions, the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets.

Net Interest Income - Three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015.2016. Net interest income was $28.9 million on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $20.5$28.6 million for the same period last year,second quarter of 2017 compared to $28.5 million for the second quarter of 2016, representing an increase of $8.4 million, or 41%.$122,000. The increase was driven by higher average interest-earning assetsloan growth of $891.9 million, or 34%, due to5% for the acquisition of $628.0 million of loans and $39.7 million of investments in the fourthsecond quarter of 2015 as part of2017 over the SBM acquisition, combined with strong organic loan growth period-over-period. Our average loan balance for the thirdsecond quarter of 2016, totaled $2.6 billion, representing an increase of $788.4 million, or 43%, overpartially offset by a decrease in our NIM for the thirdsecond quarter of 2015. Our NIM (fully-taxable equivalent) for the third quarter2017 of 2016 increased 1615 basis points to 3.24% over the third quarter of 2015. Our third quarter 2016 NIM (fully-taxable equivalent) benefited from HPFC's higher yielding commercial loans, which will continue to decrease through normal amortization and payoffs of the existing portfolio as we are no longer originating these loans; from accretion of the loan and CD fair value marks created in purchase accounting totaling $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2016; and collection of previously charged-off acquired SBM loans of $208,000 for the third quarter of 2016. Excluding these transactions, our normalized NIM on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2016 was 3.10%, compared to 3.08% for the third quarter of 2015.



For the three months ended September 30, 2016, our interest expense associated with deposits and borrowings totaled $4.2 million compared to $3.0 million for the same period of 2015, representing an increase of $1.2 million, or 39%. Our average deposit base increased 46% due to $687.0 million of deposits acquired as part of the SBM acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2015 and strong organic deposit growth, highlighted by annualized core deposit growth of 11% since year-end.

The SBM acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2015 improved our interest rate risk position in a rising rate environment due to the level of floating rate loans within the acquired loan portfolio as well as total deposits acquired of $687.0 million. Additionally, we continue to utilize customer loans swaps within our commercial real estate loan portfolio to improve our interest rate risk position in a rising rate environment by swapping fixed rate for variable rate. At September 30, 2016, our total notional on customer loan swaps with our borrowers totaled $269.0 million compared to $142.9 million at December 31, 2015 and $85.7 million at September 30, 2015 (we have matching notional agreements with a counterparty).

The increase was driven by higher average interest-earning assets of $849.6 million, or 33%, due to the acquisition of $628.0 million of loans and $39.7 million of investments in the fourth quarter of 2015 as part of the SBM acquisition, combined with strong organic loan growth period-over-period. Our average loan balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $2.6 billion, representing an increase of $754.0 million, or 42%,3.19% over the same period, of 2015.

Excluding these transactions, our normalized NIM on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 3.11%, compared to 3.12% for the same period last year. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2015, we received a one-time income pick-up of $734,000 from the settlement2017 and full pay-off of one significant commercial real estate loan that was on non-accrual status.

Our average deposit base increased 46% due to $687.0 million of deposits and borrowings acquiredin our yield, as partadjusted, was the result of the SBM acquisitionprime rate increase as variable rate loans reprice and new loans are funded. However, as a result of the rate hike in the fourthfirst half of 2017, our cost of funds has also increased.

Net Interest Income - Six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Net interest income of $56.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased $25,000 compared to the same period last year. The increase was driven by average loan growth of 5% for the first six months of 2017 over the same period last year, partially offset by a decrease in our NIM of 15 basis points to 3.19% over the same period, which was driven by a decrease in fair value mark accretion income and income from collection on previously charged-off loans of $2.3 million. Excluding the fair value mark accretion income and income from collections on previously charged-off acquired loans, our NIM was 3.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 3.11% for the same period last year.

Excluding the loan fair value mark accretion income and income from collections on previously charged-off acquired loans recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 of $1.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively, our loan yield, as adjusted, for the first half of 2017 was 4.07% compared to 4.06% for the same period last year. The increase in our yield, as adjusted, was the result of the prime rate increase in the first half of 2017 of 50 basis points as variable rate loans reprice and new loans are funded. However, as a result of the rate hike in the first half of 2017, our cost of funds has also increased. Excluding the fair value mark accretion recognized on CDs for the first half of 2017 and 2016 of $164,000 and $497,000, respectively, our cost of funds for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and was 0.58% compared to 0.53% for the same period last year. The increase in our cost of funds was driven by the increased rates for FHLBB overnight borrowings and brokered deposits that were utilized to supplement funding of loan growth.

The following table presents average balances, interest income, interest expense, and the corresponding average yields earned and cost of funds, as well as net interest income, net interest rate spread and NIM for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses is made up of the provision for loan losses and the provision for unfunded commitments.

The provision for loan losses, which makes up the vast majority of the provision for credit losses, is a recorded expense determined by management that adjusts the ALL to a level that, in management’s best estimate, is necessary to absorb probable losses within the existing loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses reflects loan quality trends, including, among other factors, the levels of and trends related to non-accrual loans, past due loans, potential problem loans, criticized loans, net charge-offs or recoveries and growth in the loan portfolio. Accordingly, the amount of the provision for loan losses reflects both the necessary increases in the ALL related to newly identified criticized loans, as well as the actions taken related to other loans including, among other things, any necessary increases or decreases in required allowances for specific loans or loan pools. The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2017 was $1.4 million, or 0.21% of average loans (annualized), compared to $2.9 million, or 0.45% of average loans (annualized), for the second quarter of 2016. The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $2.0 million, or 0.15% of average loans (annualized), compared to $3.7 million, or 0.29% of average loans (annualized), for the same period last year.

The provision for unfunded commitments represents management's estimate of the amount required to reflect the probable inherent losses on outstanding letters and unused lines of credit. The reserve for unfunded commitments iswas presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statement of condition.

The following table outlines the components making up the provision for credit losses as recorded on consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

Investment Securities
We purchase and hold investment securities including municipal bonds, MBS (pass through securities and CMOs), subordinated corporate bonds and FHLB and FRB stock to diversify our revenues, interest rate and credit risk, and to provide for liquidity and funding needs. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, our total investment securities holdings were $906.3$932.3 million, an increase of $50.3$34.7 million since December 31, 2015.2016. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we purchased $140.7$97.3 million of debt securitiessecurities; we had maturities, calls and received proceeds from the saleprincipal pay-downs of $67.7 million and maturitynet amortization of debt securities totaling $105.9$1.5 million.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016, we classified all municipal bonds purchased as HTM securities. In total, we purchased $10.4 million of municipal bonds year-to-date. We have2017, the intent and ability, evidenced by our strong capital and liquidity ratios, to hold these investments to maturity. The remaining $130.3$97.3 million of securities purchased were a combination of MBS CMO and subordinated corporate debt securities.CMOs. All of these investments have been categorized as AFS securities and are carried at fair value on the consolidated statements of condition with the associated unrealized gains or losses recorded in AOCI, net of tax. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we had a $6.6$4.4 million net unrealized gainloss on our AFS securities, net of tax, compared to a $3.8$6.1 million net unrealized loss, net of tax, at December 31, 2015.2016. The fluctuation in the fair value of our MBS and CMO investment securities is highly dependent on interest rates as of the end of the reporting period and is not reflective of an overall credit deterioration within our portfolio.

We started purchasing subordinated corporate bonds in December 2015 and continued through 2016. Subordinated corporate bonds are subordinated notes issued by U.S. banks and bank holding companies that meet certain underwriting criteria with coupons ranging from 5.00% to 6.25% and 10 year maturities with call options that can be exercised by the issuer after five years. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value of our subordinated corporate bonds was $5.7 million and $996,000, respectively. We have designated our subordinated corporate bond investments as AFS.

The duration of our investment securities portfolio decreased slightly to 3.9 years at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 from 4.04.3 years at December 31, 2015.2016. This decrease was due to a higher mixthe purchase of shorter duration MBS and CMO investments purchasedCMOs during the quarter and a reduction in 2016, making up 82% of our total investment purchases.long term rates since year-end. MBS and CMO investments have a shorter weighted-average life than the municipal bonds. We generally purchase MBS and CMO investments with an average life of no longer than six years to limit prepayment risk compared to fifteen years for a municipal bond.

We completed our quarterly OTTI assessment for our investment portfolio as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and concluded that no OTTI existed across our investment portfolio. Our process and methodology for analyzing our investments portfolio for OTTI

Allowance for Loan Losses.  We use a methodology to systematically measure the amount of estimated loan loss exposure inherent in the loan portfolio for purposes of establishing a sufficient ALL. The ALL is management’s best estimate of the probable loan losses as of the balance sheet date. The ALL is increased by provisions charged to earnings and by recoveries of amounts previously charged-off, and is reduced by charge-offs on loans.

The determination of an appropriate level of ALL, and subsequent provision for loan losses which affects earnings, is based on our analysis of various economic factors and review of the loan portfolio. During our analysis and review, many factors are considered including, but not limited to, loan growth, payoffs of lower quality loans, recoveries on previously charged-off loans, improvement in the financial condition of the borrowers, risk rating downgrades/upgrades and charge-offs. We utilize a comprehensive approach toward determining the ALL, which includes an expanded risk rating system to assist us in identifying the risks being undertaken.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we provided $1.3 million and $5.0 million of provision for loan loss expense to the ALL compared to $281,000 and $972,000 for the same period for 2015, respectively. The increase in the provision for loan losses for the third quarterALL of 2016 compared$1.3 million, or 6%, since year-end to the same period of 2015$24.4 million at June 30, 2017 was driven by the higher concentrationloan growth of commercial real estate5% and commercial loans as a percentage of our total loans at September 30, 2016 of 56% compared to 52% at September 30, 2015, as well as higher net charge-offs for HPFC in the third quarter of 2016 of $205,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the increase in our provision for loan losses$706,000 over the same period last year was also driven by the


change in our loan mix with a higher concentration of commercial real estate and commercial loans as a percentage of total loans, but also due to 5% annualized loan growth for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and deterioration of one commercial real estate and one commercial credit accounting for $2.3 million of provision expense recorded in the second quarter of 2016. The commercial credit was an acquired relationship that was previously designated as a non-accrual loan upon acquisition in October 2015. The fair value mark on the acquired relationship estimated within our purchase accounting for the loan was not sufficient, and, thus required incremental provision for loan loss to record the relationship at its estimated value. In the third quarter of 2016, we charged-off the $1.4 million reserve previously established for the aforementioned commercial loan, which drove the 18 basis points increase in our annualized quarter-to-date net charge-off to average loans ratio compared to the third quarter of 2015.

Overall, our asset quality remains strong with non-performing assets to total assets of 0.67%, and loans 30-89 days past due to total loans of 0.17%.period.

We believe the ALL of $23.3$24.4 million, or 0.90%0.89% of total loans and 91.35%79.78% of total non-performing loans, at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 was appropriate given the current economic conditions in our service area and the condition of the loan portfolio. However, if conditions deteriorate the provision will likely increase.



Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity
Deposits and Borrowings. Total deposits at September 30, 2016 were $2.9 billion, representing an increase of $162.8 million, or 6%, since year-end. Core deposits (demand, interest checking, savings and money market) at SeptemberJune 30, 2016 totaled $2.22017 increased $45.2 million, or 2%, since year-end to $2.1 billion representingdriven by an increase in demand and interest checking of $159.7$17.2 million and $36.0 million, respectively. Over the same period, brokered deposits increased $79.1 million, or 11% annualized since year-end.29%, to $351.8 million, while total borrowings increased $42.0 million, or 7%, to $641.7 million over the same period. The increase in coretotal borrowings was driven by a net increase in FHLBB borrowings (including overnight borrowings) of $50.6 million. We have used brokered deposits was due to the combination of growth and seasonality of our core deposits across our markets throughout Maine (consistent with last year). Brokered deposits at September 30, 2016 of $229.2 million increased $30.1 million since year-endFHLBB borrowings to supplement core deposit growth to fund our loan growth for the decrease in CDsfirst half of $27.0 million since year-end.2017.

Shareholders' Equity. Total shareholders' equity at SeptemberJune 30, 2016 was $393.2 million, representing an increase of $30.02017 increased $15.4 million, or 8%4%, to $407.0 million, since December 31, 2015.year-end. The increase was largelyprimarily due to net income of $29.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and an increase in the net change on unrealized gains on AFS securities, netfirst half of tax,2017 of $10.4$20.3 million, due to the decrease in interest rates since year-end, partially offset by dividends declared of $0.60 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2016first half of $9.32017 of $7.2 million and an increase in the net change on unrealized losses, net of tax, on our interest rate swaps arrangements designated as hedges of $2.5 million due to the decrease in interest rates since year-end.

On August 30, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors approved a three-for-two stock split to be effected in the form of a stock dividend on the Company's common stock. The three-for-two stock split was payable September 30, 2016, to the Company's common shareholders of record on September 15, 2016. As a result of the three-for-two stock split, the Company's historical(or $0.46 per share financial information and ratios throughout have been retrospectively adjusted to restate prior period financial information.share).

LIQUIDITY
 
Our liquidity needs require the availability of cash to meet the withdrawal demands of depositors and credit commitments to borrowers. Liquidity is defined as our ability to maintain availability of funds to meet customer needs, as well as to support our asset base. The primary objective of liquidity management is to maintain a balance between sources and uses of funds to meet our cash flow needs in the most economical and expedient manner. Due to the potential for unexpected fluctuations in both deposits and loans, active management of liquidity is necessary. We maintain various sources of funding and levels of liquid assets in excess of regulatory guidelines in order to satisfy their varied liquidity demands. We monitor liquidity in accordance with internal guidelines and all applicable regulatory requirements. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, our level of liquidity exceeded target levels. We believe that we currently have appropriate liquidity available to respond to liquidity demands. Sources of funds that we utilize consist of deposits; borrowings from the FHLBB and other sources; cash flows from operations; prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans;loans, investments and mortgage-backed securities, of which the fair value at September 30, 2016 of investment securities designated as AFS, were in an unrealized gain position and were not pledged as collateral totaled $207.4 million;securities; and the sale of mortgage loans.

Deposits continue to represent our primary source of funds. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, average deposits (excluding brokered deposits) of $2.5 billion increased $798.4$44.0 million, or 46%2%, compared to the same period last year. Average core deposits of $2.0$2.1 billion for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 increased $619.2$79.6 million, or 44%4%, compared to the same period a year ago due to the core deposits acquired in connection with the SBM acquisition of $497.4 million on October 16, 2015, as well as organic growth. Included within our money market deposit category aredeposits at June 30, 2017 were $68.8 million of deposits from our wealth management subsidiary, Acadia Trust,Camden National Wealth Management which representrepresents client funds. The deposits in the Acadia Trust client accounts, totaled $64.0 million at September 30, 2016. These deposits fluctuate with changes in the portfolios of the clients of Acadia Trust.Camden National Wealth Management.
 
Borrowings are used to supplement deposits as a source of liquidity. In addition to borrowings and advances from the FHLBB, we utilize brokered deposits, purchase federal funds, and sell securities under agreements to repurchase. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 average total borrowings (including brokered deposits) increased $69.3$97.4 million to $865.5$953.1 million compared to the same period last year. We secure borrowings from the FHLBB, whose advances remain the largest non-deposit-related funding source, with qualified residential real estate loans, certain investment securities and certain other assets available to be pledged. Through the Bank, we have available lines of credit with the FHLBB of $9.9 million, with PNC Bank
of $50.0 million, and with the FRB Discount Window of $74.6$93.8 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. We had no outstanding balances on these lines of credit at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. Long-term borrowings represent securities sold under repurchase agreements with major brokerage firms. Both wholesale and customer repurchase agreements are secured by mortgage-backed securities and government-sponsored enterprises. The Company also has a $10.0 million line of credit with a maturity date of December 20, 2016.2017. We had no outstanding balance on these lines of credit at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.

We believe the investment portfolio and residential loan portfolio provide a significant amount of contingent liquidity that could be accessed in a reasonable time period through sales of those portfolios. We also believe that we have additional untapped access to the brokered deposit market, wholesale reverse repurchase transaction market and the FRB discount window. These sources are considered as liquidity alternatives in our contingent liquidity plan. We believe that the level of liquidity is sufficient to meet current and future funding requirements; however, changes in economic conditions, including consumer saving habits and the availability or access to the national brokered deposit and wholesale repurchase markets, could significantly impact our liquidity position. 



CAPITAL RESOURCES

As part of our goal to operate a safe, sound and profitable financial organization, we are committed to maintaining a strong capital base. Shareholders’ equity totaled $393.2$407.0 million, $363.2$391.5 million and $259.4$384.9 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, December 31, 20152016 and SeptemberJune 30, 2015,2016, respectively, which amounted to 10%, 10% and 9%, respectively, of total assets asfor all of the respective dates. Refer to "— Financial Condition — Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity" for discussion regarding changes in shareholders' equity since December 31, 2015.2016.

Our principal cash requirement is the payment of dividends on our common stock, as and when declared by the Board of Directors. We declared dividends to shareholders in the aggregate amount of $9.3$7.2 million, $7.6$6.2 million and $6.0$4.5 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, 2016 2015 and 2014,2015, respectively. The Company's Board of Directors approved a $0.03 per share, or 15%, increase in the first quarter dividend to $0.23 per share and approved a $0.23 per share dividend for the second quarter of 2017, which drove the increase in dividends declared infor the first ninesix months of 20162017 of $1.7 million$937,000 compared to the first nine months of 2015 was primarily due to the increase in common shares outstanding in connection with the SBM acquisitionsame period for which 4.1 million shares were issued, as adjusted for the three-for-two stock split effective September 30, 2016. Our Board of Directors approves cash dividends on a quarterly basis after careful analysis and consideration of various factors, including the following: (i) capital position relative to total assets, (ii) risk-based assets, (iii) total classified assets, (iv) economic conditions, (v) growth rates for total assets and total liabilities, (vi) earnings performance and projections and (vii) strategic initiatives and related capital requirements. All dividends declared and distributed by the Company have been and will be in compliance with applicable state corporate law and regulatory requirements.
 
We are primarily dependent upon the payment of cash dividends by our subsidiaries to service our commitments. We, as the sole shareholder of our subsidiaries, are entitled to dividends, when and as declared by each subsidiary’s Board of Directors from legally available funds. The Bank declared dividends to the Company in the aggregate amount of $10.9$10.6 million, $39.2$9.3 million which includes a $30.0 million special dividend related to the acquisition of SBM, and $9.5$6.2 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, 2016 2015 and 2014,2015, respectively. Under regulations prescribed by the OCC, without prior OCC approval, the Bank may not declare dividends in any year in excess of the Bank’s (i) net income for the current year, (ii) plus its retained net income for the prior two years. If we are required to use dividends from the Bank to service unforeseen commitments in the future, we may be required to reduce the dividends paid to our shareholders going forward.

Please refer to Note 86 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion and details of the Company and Bank's capital regulatory requirements. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the Company and Bank met all regulatory capital requirements and the Bank continues to be classified as "well capitalized" under the prompt correction action provisions.



CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
 
In the normal course of business, we are a party to credit-relatedcredit related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, which are not reflected in the consolidated statements of condition. These financial instruments include lending commitments and letters of credit. Those instruments involve varying degrees of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of condition. We follow the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments, including requiring similar collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we had the following levels of commitments to extend credit:

Borrowings from the FHLBB consist of short- and long-term fixed-fixed and variable-ratevariable rate borrowings andthat are collateralized by all stock in the FHLBB and a blanket lien on qualified collateral consisting primarily of loans with first mortgages secured by one- toone-to four-family properties, certain pledged investment securities and other qualified assets.

We have an obligation and commitment to repay all borrowingsshort- and debentures.long-term borrowings. These commitments and borrowings subordinated debentures and the related payments are made during the normal course of business.

Derivatives
 
Hedge Instruments:Instruments. From time to time, we may enter into derivative instruments as partial hedges against large fluctuations in interest rates. We may also enter into fixed-rate interest rate swaps and floor instruments to partially hedge against potentially lower yields on the variable prime rate loan category in a declining rate environment. If interest rates were to decline, resulting in reduced income on the adjustable rate loans, there would be an increased income flow from the interest rate swap and floor instrument. We may also enter into variable rate interest rate swaps and cap instruments to partially hedge against increases in short-term borrowing rates. If interest rates were to rise, resulting in an increased interest cost, there would be an increased income flow from the interest rate swaps and cap instruments. These financial instruments are factored into our overall interest rate risk position. We regularly review the credit quality of the counterparty from which the instruments have been purchased.



At SeptemberJune 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015,2017 we had $43.0 million of notional in interest rate swaps on our junior subordinated debentures.debentures that have been designated as hedges in accordance with GAAP. The arrangement allowed us to fix our floating rate debentures and mitigate our interest exposure in a rising rate environment. We assess the hedge relationship for effectiveness on a quarterly basis. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016 we concluded that each individual hedge on our remaining cash flows continues to be effective and no ineffectiveness on the interest rate swaps were in a loss position of $12.7 million and $9.2 million, respectively, and werehedge relationship has been recorded as a liability within our consolidated statements of condition.income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our hedge on the aforementioned junior subordinated debentures was in an unrealized loss position of $8.3 million and $8.4 million, respectively. As these hedges were effective hedges at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the unrealized losses was recorded within AOCI, net of taxes.

At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016 we had $50.0 million of notional on two tranches ofinterest rate swaps on 30-day FHLBB advances. Each derivative arrangement commenced on February 25, 2016, with one contract set to expire onOne $25.0 million tranche has an expiration date of February 25, 2018 andat a fixed interest rate of 1.54%, while the other on$25.0 million tranche has an expiration date of February 25, 2019.2019 at a fixed rate of 1.74%. We entered into these interest rate swaps to help mitigate our interest rate exposure on short-term borrowings in a rising interest rate environment. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, we concluded that each individual hedge on our remaining cash flows continues to be effective and no ineffectiveness on the interest rate swaps were in a loss position of $847,000 and $576,000 and werehedge relationship has been recorded as a liability within our consolidated statements of condition.income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our hedge on the aforementioned 30-day FHLBB advances was in an unrealized loss position of $153,000 and $389,000, respectively. As these hedges were effective hedges at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the unrealized losses was recorded within AOCI, net of taxes.

We are required, as part of contractual arrangements with our interest rate swap counterparties, to pledge collateral should our interest rate swap positions be in a net unrealized loss position, or receive collateral from the counterparty if their interest rate swap positions are in a net unrealized loss position. We maintain a master netting agreement with the counterparty and thus post collateral (or receive collateral when requested) based on the net position of the interest rate swaps.

Customer Loan Swaps: In our normal course of lending with commercial real estate customers, we will enter into interest rate swaps with qualifying commercial customers, from time to time, to provide them with a means to lock into a long-term fixed rate, while simultaneously entering into an arrangement with a counterparty to swap the long-term fixed rate loan to variable rate to allow us to effectively manage our interest rate exposure. Unlike the aforementioned cash flow hedges above, these arrangements are not designated as hedges and provide little risk to us as the interest rate swap agreements have substantially equivalent and offsetting terms. We mitigate our commercial customer counterparty credit risk exposure through our loan policy and underwriting process, which includes credit approval limits, monitoring procedures, and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. We mitigate our institutional counterparty credit risk exposure by limiting the institutions for which we will enter into interest swap arrangements through an approved listing by the Company's boardBoard of directors.Directors.

At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, we had a notional amount of $269.0$295.7 million and $142.9$266.3 million, respectively, in interest rate swap agreements with commercial customers and an equal notional amount with a dealer bankcounterparty related to our commercial loan swap program. We did not elect to account for this derivative program as a hedge in accordance with GAAP. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the fair value of these arrangements were $14.2$3.6 million and $3.2$1.9 million, respectively, and were recorded gross on our consolidated statements of condition as assets and liabilities. As the interest rate swap agreements have substantially equivalent and offsetting terms, they do not materially change our interest rate risk or present any material exposure to our consolidated statements of income.

We are required, as part of contractual arrangements with our interest rate swap counterparties, to pledge collateral should our interest rate swap positions be in a net unrealized loss position, or receive collateral from the counterparty if their interest rate swap positions are in a net unrealized loss position. We maintain a master netting agreement with the counterparty and thus post collateral (or receive collateral) based on the net position of the interest rate swaps. The borrower's (customer) commercial property serves as collateral for the swap agreement.

Interest Rate Locks: Locks and Forward Delivery Commitments.As part of our normal mortgage origination process, we provide potential borrowers with the option to lock their interest rate based on current market prices. During the period from commitment date to the loan closing date, we are subject to interest rate risk as market rates fluctuate. In an effort to mitigate such risk, we may enter into forward delivery sales commitments, typically on a "best-efforts" basis, with certain approved investors. We account for our interest rate locks for which we intend to sell in the secondary market as derivatives.


Furthermore, we do not account for the forward delivery commitment to the secondary market investor as a derivative until the loan has been originated.

At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, we had a notional amount of $55.2$26.6 million and $20.7$15.2 million, respectively, of interest rate lock commitments on mortgages within our loan pipeline.pipeline for which we intend to sell.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss to earnings, capital and the economic values of certain assets and liabilitiesin a financial instrument arising from adverse changes toin market rates/prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. Our only significantprimary market risk exposure is changes in interest rates.rate risk. The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of our asset/asset and liability management process, which is governed by policies established by the Bank’s boardBoard of directors, andDirectors that are reviewed and approved annually. The Board ALCO delegates responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability management policies to Management ALCO. In this capacity, Management ALCO develops guidelines and strategies impacting our asset/liability management-related activities based upon estimated interest ratemarket risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels/trends. Management ALCO and Board ALCO jointly meet on a quarterly basis to review strategies, policies, economic conditions and various activities as part of the management of these risks. Management ALCO manages interest rate risk by using two risk measurement techniques: (i) simulation of net interest income and (ii) simulation of economic value of equity. These measures are complementary and provide for both short and long-term risk profiles of the Company.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates change, the interest income and expense streams associated with our financial instruments also change, thereby impacting net interest income, the primary component of our earnings. Board ALCO and Management ALCO utilize the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. While Board ALCO and Management ALCO routinely monitor simulated net interest income sensitivity over a rolling five-year horizon.two-year horizon, they also utilize additional tools to monitor potential longer-term interest rate risk.

The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates interest rate indices and spreads, rate caps and floors on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reflected on our consolidated statements of condition, as well as for derivative financial instruments, if any. The simulation of net interest income also requires a number of key assumptions such as: (i) no balance sheet growth, (ii) the future balance sheet mix, including prepayment assumptions for loans and securities projected under each rate scenario, (iii) new business loan rates that are based on recent origination experience, (iv) deposit pricing beta assumptions, and (v) non-maturity decay rate estimates. These assumptions can be inherently uncertain, and, as a result, actual results may differ from the simulation forecasts due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of rate changes, future business conditions and unanticipated changes in management strategies.instruments. This sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one- and two-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point upward and downward shift in interest rates. Although our policy specifies a downward shift of 200 basis points, this would resultresults in negative rates as many deposit and funding rates are now below 2.00%. Our current downward shift is 100 basis points. A parallel and pro rata shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed. Using this approach, we are able to produce simulation results that illustrate the effect that both a gradual change of rates and a “rate shock” have on earnings expectations. In the down 100 basis points scenario, Federal Funds and Treasury yields are floored at 0.01% while Prime is floored at 3.00%. All other market rates are floored at 0.25%.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, our net interest income sensitivity analysis reflected the following changes to net interest income.income assuming no balance sheet growth and a parallel shift in interest rates. All rate changes were “ramped” over the first 12-month period and then maintained at those levels over the remainder of the ALCO simulation horizon.

The most significant factors affectingpreceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions including, among others, the changes in market risk exposure at September 30, 2016 compared to September 30, 2015 were the acquisitionnature and timing of SBM, which increased the mix of variableinterest rate levels, yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and increased coresecurities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits and an increase in back-to-back loan swaps. reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, we cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

If rates remain at or near current levels, net interest income is projected to decrease slightly in year 1 and year 2be virtually flat as loan rates have repriced to current rates and the cost of funds remains unchanged. Beyond the first year, net interest income increases slightly. If rates decrease 100 basis points, net interest income is projected to decrease slightly as changes in loanloans reprice into lower yields and funding costs almost offsethave limited capacity to reduce the cost of funds in the first year. In the second year, net interest income is projected to continue to decrease as loans and investment cash flow reprice into lower yields as prepayments increase while reduction in the cost of funds remains flat.become limited. If rates increase 200 basis points, net interest income is projected to decrease in the first year due to the repricing of short-term funding. Then inIn the second year, net interest income is projected to increase as loansloan and investmentsinvestment yields continue to reprice/reset into higher yields whileand the cost of funds lag. At this point, the Company's balance sheet becomes asset sensitive. In years three to five, the loan and investment cash flows continue to reprice as the cost of funds lags increasing net interest income above our base.

The economic value of equity at risk simulation is conducted in tandem with the net interest income simulations, to determine a longer term view of the Company’s interest rate risk position by capturing longer-term re-pricing risk and option-risk embedded in the balance sheet. It measures the sensitivity of economic value of equity to changes in interest rates. The economic value of equity at risk simulation values only the current balance sheet. As with net interest income modeling, this simulation captures product characteristics such as loan resets, re-pricing terms, maturity dates, rate caps and floors. Key assumptions include loan prepayment speeds, deposit pricing betas and non-maturity deposit decay rates. These assumptions can have significant impacts on valuation results as the assumptions remain in effect for the entire life of each asset and liability. All key assumptions are subject to a periodic review.

Our base case economic value of equity at risk is calculated by estimating the net present value of all future cash flows from existing assets and liabilities using current interest rates. The base case scenario assumes that future interest rates remain unchanged.

Periodically, if deemed appropriate, we use interest rate swaps, floors and caps, which are common derivative financial instruments, to hedge our interest rate risk position. The Company’s Board of Directors has approved hedging policy statements governing the use of these instruments.
