HAMPDEN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

 
1. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hampden Bank (the “Bank”) and Hampden LS, Inc. Hampden Bank is a Massachusetts chartered stock savings bank. The Company contributed funds to Hampden LS, Inc. to enable it to make a 15-year loan to the employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”) to allow it to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock as part of the completion of the Company’s initial public offering. Hampden Bank has three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hampden Investment Corporation and Hampden Investment Corporation II, which engage in buying, selling, holding and otherwise dealing in securities, and Hampden Insurance Agency, which ceased selling insurance products in November of 2000 and remains inactive. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation. The results shown for the interim periods ended September 30,December 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2014 included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 12, 2014.

In preparing the consolidated interim financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the statement of financial condition and reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and deferred income taxes.

On November 3, 2014, the board of directors of the Company unanimously approved a merger agreement between the Company and Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc. ("Berkshire Hills"). The Company is holding a special meeting on Thursday, March 12, 2015 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at the Sheraton Springfield Monarch Place Hotel, Springfield, Massachusetts 01144, for its stockholders of record on January 29, 2015, to vote on the proposals necessary to complete the merger. If the merger agreement is approved and the merger is subsequently completed, the Company will merge with and into Berkshire Hills, the Company's separate corporate existence will thereupon cease and Berkshire Hills will continue as the surviving corporation. The expenses associated with this merger totaled $695,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of the Company's common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.81 shares of Berkshire Hills' common stock. Berkshire Hills' common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ‘‘BHLB.’’ Completion of the merger is subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and the approval of the stockholders of the Company, as well as customary conditions.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-04, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The ASU was issued to clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the ASU amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014, and the ASU is to be adopted using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. The Company does not believe this ASU will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the interim and annual periods other than the additional disclosures required.

3. Earnings Per Share
    
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted EPS is computed in a manner similar to that of basic EPS except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of incremental common shares (computed using the treasury stock method) that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents (such as stock options and unvested restricted stock) were issued during the period. Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are shown as a reduction in stockholders' equity and are included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted EPS calculations as they are committed to be released.

6. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
 
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

Level 1:  Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.
  
Level 2:  Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
  
Level 3:  Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Where assets or liabilities are measured at fair value, transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period, if applicable.
 
Methods and assumptions for valuing the Company’s financial instruments are set forth below. Estimated fair values are calculated based on the value without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument, possible tax ramifications or estimated transaction costs.
 
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term investments approximate fair values.
     
Securities: The securities measured at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are government-sponsored enterprises, corporate bonds and other obligations, mortgage-backed securities and common stocks. The fair values used by the Company are obtained from an independent pricing service which are not adjusted by management and, represents either quoted market prices for identical securities, quoted market prices for comparable securities or fair values determined by pricing models that consider observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems and other market indicators, industry and economic events. Municipal securities are valued utilizing Level 3 inputs. Since there is no readily available market pricing and no active market to sell these securities, management believes that the amortized cost of these securities approximates fair value based on their relatively short terms to maturity.
 
Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLB") stock: The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates fair value based upon the redemption provisions of the FHLB.
 
Loans held for sale: Fair value of loans held for sale are estimated based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.

Loans: Fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, using market interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. This analysis assumes no prepayment. Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Mortgage servicing rights: Mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) are the rights of a mortgage servicer to collect mortgage payments and forward them, after deducting a fee, to the mortgage lender. The fair value of servicing rights is estimated using a present value cash flow model. The fair value of MSR is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. Changes in prepayment speed assumptions generally have the most significant impact on the fair value of our MSR. Generally, as interest rates decline, mortgage loan prepayments accelerate due to increased refinance activity, which results in a decrease in the fair value of MSR. As interest rates rise, mortgage loan prepayments slow down, which results in an increase in the fair value of MSR. Thus, any measurement of the fair value of our MSR is limited by the conditions existing and the assumptions utilized as of a particular point in time, and those assumptions may not be appropriate if they are applied at a different point in time.
 

11


Deposits and mortgage escrow accounts: The fair values for non-certificate accounts and mortgage escrow accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for certificate accounts are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
 
Short-term borrowings: The carrying amount of short-term borrowings approximates fair value.
 
Long-term debt: The fair values of the Company's advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on current market borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Accrued interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.
 
Off-balance-sheet instruments: Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. The estimated fair value of off-balance sheet financial instruments at September 30,December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 were not material.

The Company does not measure any liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis.

The following table presents the balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30,December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014:

Also, the Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with GAAP.  These adjustments to fair value usually result from
the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The following table summarizes the carrying value of the related individual assets as of September 30,December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, all classified in Level 3 fair value hierarchy:

During the threesix months ended September 30,December 31, 2014 and 2013 there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2, or 3.

The amount of impaired loans represents the carrying value of loans that include adjustments which are based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. The fair value of collateral used by the Company represents the current tax assessed value, discounted by 20%. This data includes information such as selling price of similar properties, expected future cash flows or earnings of the subject property based on current market expectations, as well as relevant legal, physical and economic factors. If the impaired loan is being actively marketed, the Company uses the realtor’s market analysis or listing price discounted by 10% and less 5% for realtor commission, instead of the tax assessment. The Company had a $49,000$592,000 and a $641,000 loss on impaired loans for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014.December 31, 2014, respectively. There was no gain or loss for the three and six months ended September 30,December 31, 2013. Any resulting losses are recognized in earnings through the provision for loan losses. The Company charges off any collateral shortfall on collateral dependent impaired loans.
 
The Company classifies property acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure as OREO in its consolidated financial statements. When property is placed into OREO, it is recorded at the fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure or acceptance of deed in lieu of foreclosure. At the time of transfer to OREO, any excess of carrying value over fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Management, or its designee, inspects all OREO property periodically. Holding costs and declines in fair value result in charges to expense after the property is acquired. The Company had $44,000 gain on OREO for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The Company had a $4,000$9,000 loss on OREO for the three months ended September 30, 2013.December 31, 2014 and a $36,000 gain on OREO for the six months ended December 31, 2014. The Company had a $15,000 and a $19,000 loss on OREO for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, respectively.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are exempt from disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

The carrying amounts and related estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows. Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are exempt from disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

Management conducts, at least on a quarterly basis, a review of our investment securities to determine if the value of any security has declined below its cost or amortized cost and whether such decline represents other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). There was no impairment charge recognized for the threesix months ended September 30,December 31, 2014 and 2013.

     At September 30,December 31, 2014, 5952 debt securities had unrealized losses with an aggregate depreciation of 2.1%2.0% from the Company's amortized cost basis. In analyzing an issuer's financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government, its agencies or government-sponsored enterprises, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analyst'sanalysts' reports. The unrealized losses in residential mortgage-backed securities were primarily caused by interest rate changes. As management has not decided to sell these securities, nor is it likely that the Company will be required to sell these securities, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary. At September 30,December 31, 2014, eightten securities issued by private mortgage originators had unrealized losses. Such securities had an amortized cost of $358,000826,000 and a fair value of $353,000818,000. All of these investments are “Senior” Class tranches and have underlying credit enhancement. These securities were originated in the period 2002-2005 and are performing in accordance with contractual terms. Management estimates the loss projections for each security by evaluating the industry rating, amount of delinquencies, amount of foreclosure, amount of other real estate owned, average credit scores, average amortized loan to value and credit enhancement. Based on this review, management determined that no OTTI existed as of September 30,December 31, 2014.

Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The analysis of the allowance for loan losses has two components: specific and general allocations, which are further described below.
Specific Allocation
 
Specific allocations are made for loans determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or fair value of collateral for collateral dependent loans. The Company charges off any collateral shortfall on collaterally dependent impaired loans.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are generally placed on non-accrual status either when there is reasonable doubt as to the full collection of payments or when the loans become 90 days past due, unless an evaluation clearly indicates that the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral, adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses, if the loan is collateral dependent.
 




17


The Company may periodically agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructure (“TDR”). All TDRs are initially classified as impaired and may be evaluated for removal from impaired status after one year of current payments for a modified loan with a market rate for that borrower at the time of restructuring.

General Allocation
 
The general allocation is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan and payment history. Consideration is given to historical loss experience and qualitative factors such as delinquency trends, changes in underwriting standards or lending policies, procedures and practices, experience and depth of management and lending staff, and general economic conditions. This analysis establishes loss factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general allocations. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revisions based upon changes in economic and real estate market conditions. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance for loan losses that have been established which could have a material negative effect on financial results. There were no changes in the Company’s policies or methodology pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses during the threesix months ended September 30,December 31, 2014.
 
On a quarterly basis, management’s Loan Review Committee ("the Committee") reviews the current status of various loan assets in order to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In this evaluation process specific loans with risk ratings of six (special mention) or higher are analyzed to determine their potential risk of loss. This process concentrates on watch list, non-accrual and classified loans. Any loan determined to be impaired is evaluated for potential loss exposure. Any shortfall results in a charge-off if the likelihood of loss is evaluated as probable. The Company’s policy for charging off uncollectible loans is based on an analysis of the financial condition of the borrower and/or the collateral value. To determine the adequacy of collateral on a particular loan, an estimate of the fair market value of the collateral is based on the most current appraised value, discounted cash flow valuation or other available information.
 
The qualitative factors are assessed based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:
 
Residential real estate - The Company generally does not originate loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80% unless there is private mortgage insurance. All loans in this segment are collateralized by one- to four-family residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.
 
Commercial real estate - Loans in these segments are primarily income-producing properties throughout Massachusetts and Connecticut. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties can be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy, as evidenced by increased vacancy rates, which in turn will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Management requires annual borrower financial statements, obtains rent rolls annually and continually monitors the cash flows of these loans.
 
Home equity loans - Loans in this segment are secured by first or second mortgages on one- to four-family owner occupied properties, and are generally underwritten in amounts such that the combined first and second mortgage balances generally do not exceed 85% of the value of the property serving as collateral at time of origination. The lines-of-credit are available to be drawn upon for 10 to 20 years, at the end of which time they become term loans amortized over 5 to 10 years. Interest rates on home equity lines normally adjust based on the month-end prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal.
 
Residential construction loans - Loans in this segment primarily include construction to permanent non-speculative real estate loans. All loans in this segment are collateralized by one- to four-family residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.
 
Commercial construction loans - Loans in this segment primarily include construction to permanent non-speculative real estate loans. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties may be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy, which in turn will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Commercial loans - Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by assets of the business. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. A weakened economy may have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Automobile and other secured loans - Loans in this segment include consumer non-real estate secured loans that the Company originates as well as automobile loans that the Company purchases from a third party. The Company has the ability to select the automobile loans it purchases based on its own underwriting standards.

18


 Manufactured home loans - Loans in this segment are secured by first liens on properties located primarily in the Northeast. Repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. The Company has the ability to select the manufactured home loans it purchases based on its own underwriting standards.
 
Other consumer loans - Loans in this segment are generally unsecured and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.

Credit Quality Information
 
The Company utilizes a nine grade internal loan rating system for all loans as follows:
 
Loans rated 1 – 5: Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.
 
Loans rated 6: Loans in this category are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.
 
Loans rated 7: Loans in this category are considered “substandard.” Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged. There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected.
 
Loans rated 8: Loans in this category are considered “doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.
 
Loans rated 9: Loans in this category are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted. These loans are generally charged off at each quarter end.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial real estate, commercial construction and commercial loans. The Company engages an independent third-party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process. All credits rated 6 or worse are reviewed on a quarterly basis by management. At origination, management assigns risk ratings to one- to four-family residential loans, home equity loans, residential construction loans, manufactured home loans, and other consumer loans. The Company updates these risk ratings as needed based primarily on delinquency, bankruptcy, or tax delinquency.

The Company has transferred a portion of its originated commercial real estate and commercial loans to participating lenders. The amounts transferred have been accounted for as sales and are therefore not included in the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company and participating lenders share in any gains or losses that may result from a borrower’s lack of compliance with contractual terms of the loan. The Company continues to service the loans on behalf of the participating lenders and, as such, collects cash payments from the borrowers, remits payments (net of servicing fees) to participating lenders and disburses required escrow funds to relevant parties. At September 30,December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the Company was servicing loans for participants aggregating $36.6$41.3 million and $34.4 million, respectively.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
 
This section is intended to help investors understand the financial performance of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, through a discussion of the factors affecting our financial condition at September 30,December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 and our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended September 30,December 31, 2014 and 2013, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements herein constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the beliefs and expectations of management, as well as the assumptions made using information currently available to management. Since these statements reflect the views of management concerning future events, these statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. As a result, actual results may differ from those contemplated by these statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words like "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", and "intend" or future or conditional verbs such as "will", "would", "should", "could", or "may." Certain factors that could have a material adverse effect on the operations of Hampden Bank include, but are not limited to, increased competitive pressure among financial service companies, national and regional economic conditions, changes in interest rates, changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve Board, the quality and composition of our loan or investment portfolio, demand for financial services in our market area, changes in real estate values in our market area, adverse changes in the securities markets, inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to Hampden Bank, and changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, future events or otherwise. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking

25


statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain important factors, including those set forth below under Item 2 -“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, including the section titled Item 1A -“Risk Factors”. You should carefully review those factors and also carefully review the risks outlined in other documents that the Company files from time to time with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
Critical Accounting Policies
 
We consider accounting policies that require management to exercise significant judgment or discretion, or make significant assumptions that have or could have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, or related disclosures, to be critical accounting policies.  
 
Management believes that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our Board.

Allowance for Loan Losses
 
Critical Estimates. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
 
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
 

26


The analysis of the allowance for loan losses has two components: specific and general allocations, which are described in Note 8.

Judgment and Uncertainties. The qualitative factors are assessed based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are described in Note 8.8 to the Company's accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.
 
Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. Although we believe we have established and maintained the allowance for loan losses at adequate levels, additions may be necessary if the current operating environment deteriorates. Management uses the best information available; however, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and short-term change. In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Massachusetts Division of Banks, as an integral part of their examination process, will periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Income Taxes
 
Critical Estimates. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled.   Management reviews the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis to identify any uncertainties to the collectability of the components of the deferred tax asset.
 
Judgment and Uncertainties. In determining the realizability of the deferred tax asset, we use historical and forecasted operating results, based upon approved business plans, including a review of the eligible carryforward periods, tax planning opportunities and other relevant considerations to determine if a valuation allowance is warranted. Management believes that the accounting estimate related to the valuation allowance is a critical accounting estimate because the underlying assumptions can change from period to period. For example, tax law changes or variances in future projected operating performance could result in a change in the valuation allowance.
 




Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. Should actual factors and conditions differ materially from those used by management, the actual realization of net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities could differ materially from the amounts recorded in the financial statements. If we were not able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to our deferred tax assets valuation allowance would be charged to income tax expense in the period such determination was made and would have a negative impact on the Company’s earnings. In addition, if actual factors and conditions differ materially from those used by management, the Company could incur penalties and interest imposed by the Internal Revenue Service.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30,December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014

Total Assets. The Company’s total assets increased $4.2$9.6 million, or 0.6%1.4%, from $701.5 million at June 30, 2014 to $705.7$711.1 million at September 30,December 31, 2014. Net loans, including loans held for sale, decreased $436,000,increased $3.2 million, or 0.1%0.6%, from $508.0 million at June 30, 2014 to $507.5$511.1 million at September 30,December 31, 2014. Investment securities decreased $1.4$5.0 million, or 1.0%3.5%, to $141.9$138.2 million and cash and cash equivalents increased $5.7$11.1 million, or 44.9%87.9%, to $18.4$23.8 million at September 30,December 31, 2014.

Investment Activities. The composition and fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio is included in Note 7 to the Company’s accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Current period purchases of municipal bonds were partially offset by the principal payments and unrealized losses on residential mortgage-backed securities during the three months ended September 30,December 31, 2014.

Net Loans. The composition of the Company’s loan portfolio is included in Note 8 to the Company’s accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Net loans, including loans held for sale, remained relatively flat withincreased $3.2 million, or 0.6%, to $511.1 million at December 31, 2014. The increase in loans is due to an increase of $6.6 million, or 3.3% in commercial real estate loans, an increase of $2.6 million, or 6.5% in home equity second lien loans and an increase of $1.0 million, in loans held for sale. These increases are partially offset by a small decrease of $436,000,$1.5 million, or 0.1%4.1% in commercial construction loans, a decrease of $1.4 million in residential construction loans, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 2.9%, to $507.5in commercial loans, a decrease of $1.4 million at September 30, 2014. Thein home equity first lien loans and a decrease of $1.2 million in net loans was due to two large loan payoffs in the commercial loan portfolio of $6.4 millionautomobile and $4.1 million.other secured consumer loans. The Company’s strategy continues to be focused on obtaining commercial loans.

During the origination of fixed rate mortgages, each loan is analyzed to determine if the loan will be sold into the secondary market or held in portfolio. The Company retains servicing for loans sold to Fannie Mae and earns a fee equal to 0.25% of the

27


loan amount outstanding for providing these services. Loans which the Company originates to the standards of the buyer, which may differ from the Company’s underwriting standards, are generally sold to a third party along with the servicing rights without recourse. For the threesix months ended September 30,December 31, 2014, loans sold totaled $7.0$13.1 million. Of the $7.0$13.1 million of loans sold, $2.8$5.3 million were sold on a servicing-released basis and $4.2$7.8 million were sold on a servicing-retained basis.

Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status either when reasonable doubt exists as to the full collection of interest and principal or when a loan becomes 90 days past due, unless an evaluation clearly indicates that the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loans. From June 30, 2014 to September 30,December 31, 2014, commercial non-performing loans have increased $818,000;$612,000; residential mortgage non-performing loans have increased $222,000;$87,000; consumer, including home equity and manufactured homes, non-performing loans have decreased $93,000. In addition,$9,000 and commercial real estate non-performing loans have increased $454,000.$434,000. At September 30,December 31, 2014, the Company had twelveeleven TDRs totaling approximately $5.1$4.5 million, of which $1.3 million is$882,000 are on non-accrual status. All loans that are modified and a concession granted by the Company in light of the borrower’s financial difficulty are considered a TDR and are classified as impaired loans by the Company. The interest income recorded from these loans amounted to $73,000$63,000 and $124,000, for the three month periodand six months ended September 30, 2014.December 31, 2014, respectively. At June 30, 2014, the Company had twelve TDRs consisting of commercial and mortgage loans totaling approximately $5.1 million, of which $534,000 waswere on non-accrual status. The interest income recorded from the restructured loans amounted to $276,000 for the year ended June 30, 2014.

As of September 30,December 31, 2014, loans on non-accrual status totaled $6.6$5.4 million, which consisted of $5.7$4.7 million in loans that were 90 days or greater past due, $404,000$113,000 in loans that are 31-89 days past due and $451,000$598,000 in loans that are current or less than 30 days past due. It is the Company’s policy to keep loans on non-accrual status subsequent to becoming current until the borrower can demonstrate theirits ability to make payments according to theirits loan terms for six months. As of September 30,December 31, 2014, there were no commercial real estate and commercial non-accrual loans less than 90 days past due. One- to four-family residential non-accrual loans less than 90 days past due were $279,000,$487,000, commercial non-accrual loans less than 90 days past due were $80,000, manufactured homes

28


non-accrual less than 90 days past due were $34,000 and home equity second lien non-accrual loans less than 90 days past due were $120,000.$110,000. All non-accrual loans, TDRs, and loans with risk ratings of six or higher are assessed by the Company for impairment. On November 10, 2014, the Company received a $601,000 recovery on a commercial loan previously charged off.


28


In the normal course of business, the Company may modify a loan for a creditworthy borrower where the modified loan is not considered a TDR. In these cases, the modified terms are consistent with loan terms available to creditworthy borrowers and within normal loan pricing. The modifications to such loans are done according to our existing underwriting standards. These modified loans are not considered impaired loans by the Company.

Non-accrual loans, including TDRs, return to accrual status once the borrower has shown the ability and an acceptable history of repayment. The borrower must be current with their payments in accordance with the loan terms for six months. The Company may also return a loan to accrual status if the borrower evidences sufficient cash flow to service the debt and provides additional collateral to support the collectability of the loan. For non-accrual loans that make payments, the Company recognizes cash interest payments as interest income when the Company does not have a collateral shortfall for the loan and the loan has not been charged off. If there is a collateral shortfall for the loan or it has been charged off, then the Company applies the entire payment to the principal balance on the loan.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, the collateral, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent and any change in present value is recorded within the provision for loan loss. Impaired loans increaseddecreased to $10.5$9.3 million at September 30,December 31, 2014 from $9.8 million at June 30, 2014. The Company established specific reserves aggregating $10,000$84,000 and $11,000 for impaired loans at September 30,December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively. SuchAs of December 31, 2014, such reserves relate to onetwo impaired loan relationships with a total carrying value of $534,000,$530,000, and are based on management’s analysis of the expected cash flows for troubled debt restructurings as of September 30, 2014.restructurings.
  
We believe that the determination of our allowance for loan losses, including amounts required for impaired loans, is consistent with GAAP and current regulatory guidance. While the Company believes that it has established adequate specifically allocated and general allowances for losses on loans, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if future conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the evaluations. In addition, as an integral part of their examination process, the Company’s regulators periodically review the allowance for loan losses. These regulatory agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination, thereby negatively affecting the Company’s financial condition and earnings. It is also possible that, in this current economic environment, additional loans will become impaired in future periods.

The Company classifies property acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure as OREO in its consolidated financial statements. When property is placed into OREO, it is recorded at the fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure or acceptance of deed in lieu of foreclosure. At the time of transfer to OREO, any excess of carrying value over fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Management, or its designee, inspects all OREO property periodically. Holding costs and declines in fair value result in charges to expense after the property is acquired. At September 30,December 31, 2014, the Company had fourfive properties with a carrying value of $159,000$502,000 classified as OREO. All fourFour properties were manufactured homes.homes and the remaining property was a commercial real estate property.

It is the Company’s policy to classify all non-accrual loans as impaired loans. All impaired loans are measured on a loan-by-loan basis to determine if any specific allowance is required for the allowance for loan loss by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the impaired loan has a shortfall in the expected future cash flows then a specific allowance will be placed on the

29


loan in that amount. However, the Company may consider collateral values where it feels there is greater risk and the expected future cash flow allowance is not sufficient. Residential, commercial real estate and construction loans are secured by real estate. Except for one, all commercial loans are secured by all business assets and many also include primary or secondary mortgage positions on business and/or personal real estate. The other commercial loan is secured by shares of stock of a subsidiary of a borrower.

When calculating the general allowance component of the allowance for loan losses, the Company analyzes the trend in delinquencies, among other things, as further described in Note 8 to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. If there is an increase in the amount of delinquent loans in a particular loan category, this may cause the Company to increase the general allowance requirement for that loan category. A partial charge-off on a non-performing loan will decrease the amount of non-performing and impaired loans, as well as any specific allowance requirement that loan may have had. This will also decrease our allowance for loan losses, as well as our allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans ratio and our allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio. The Company incorporates historical charge-offs, including the greater of charge-offs recognized in the current quarter, which are annualized, or projected annual charge-offs when calculating the general allowance component of the allowance for loan losses.

Loan Servicing. In the ordinary course of business, the Company sells residential real estate loans to the secondary market. The Company retains servicing on certain loans sold and earns servicing fees of 0.25% per annum based on the monthly outstanding balance of the loans serviced. The Company recognizes servicing assets each time it undertakes an obligation to service loans sold. The Company’s mortgage servicing asset valuation is performed on a quarterly basis by an independent third party, using a statistical valuation model representing the projection into the future of a single interest rate/market environment. The projected cash flows are then discounted back to present value. Discount rates, estimate of servicing costs and ancillary income, estimates of float earnings rates and delinquency information as well as an estimate of prepayments are used to calculate the value of the mortgage servicing asset. For the threesix months ended September 30,December 31, 2014, the increase in the fair market value of mortgage servicing assets was $41,000.$15,000.

The changes in servicing assets measured using fair value are on included in detail in Note 6 to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. There are no recourse provisions for the loans that are serviced for others. The risks inherent in mortgage servicing assets relate primarily to changes in prepayments that result from shifts in mortgage interest rates. For the threesix months ended September 30,December 31, 2014 and 2013, amounts recognized for loan servicing fees amounted to $94,000$197,000 and $107,000,$190,000, respectively, which are included in other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of net income. The unpaid principal balance of mortgagesmortgage loans serviced for others was $75.0$75.5 million and $71.8 million at September 30,December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively.

Average Balance Sheet and Analysis of Net Interest and Dividend Income
Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the interest rates earned or paid on them.

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. All average balances are daily average balances. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, and discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense. The Company does not accrue interest on loans on non-accrual status; however, the balance of these loans is included in the total average balance, which has the effect of lowering average loan yields.

This increase of $466,000,$524,000, or 7.6%4.2%, was primarily the result of an increase in loan interest income of $415,000,$497,000, or 7.5%4.4%, due to an increase in average balances, offset by a decrease in rates.

Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements. As of September 30,December 31, 2014, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes has changed the Bank’s category. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and ratios as of September 30,December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 are presented in the following table.

In July 2013, the FDIC and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that will revise their leverage and risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Among other things, the rule establishes a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), increases the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assigns a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate

34


facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The final rule also requires unrealized gains and losses on certain “available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital unless a one-time opt-out is exercised. The rule limits a banking organization's capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The final rule becomesbecame effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginningbetween January 1, 2016 and ending January 1, 2019, whenat which time the full capital conservation buffer requirement will be effective. Management believes that the Company and the Bank will continue to exceed all minimum capital ratio requirements.

Liquidity Risk Management.    Liquidity risk, or the risk to earnings and capital arising from an organization's inability to meet its obligations without incurring unacceptable losses, is managed by the Company's Chief Financial Officer, who monitors on a daily basis the adequacy of the Company's liquidity position. Oversight is provided by the Asset/Liability Committee, which reviews the Company's liquidity on a monthly basis, and by the Board of Directors of the Company, which reviews the adequacy of our liquidity resources on a quarterly basis.
 
The Company's primary sources of funds are from deposits, amortization of loans, loan prepayments and the maturity of loans, mortgage-backed securities and other investments, and other funds provided by operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing loans and investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments can be greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We maintain excess funds in cash and short-term interest-bearing assets that provide additional liquidity. At September 30,December 31, 2014, cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and short-term investments totaled $18.4$23.8 million, or 2.6%3.3%, of total assets, which is aan increase of $5.7$11.1 million, or 44.9%87.9%, from June 30, 2014.
 
The Company also relies on outside borrowings from the FHLB as an additional funding source. Since June 30, 2014, the Company has increased FHLB borrowings by $7.3$14.4 million to a total of $123.8$130.8 million outstanding as of September 30,December 31, 2014. On that date, the Company had the ability to borrow an additional $56.1$99.6 million from the FHLB. At September 30,December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the Company had an Ideal Way Line of Credit available with the FHLB of $2.0 million, of which there were no amounts outstanding. In addition, the Company had lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and Bankers Bank Northeast totaling $7.4 million at September 30,December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, of which there were no amounts outstanding. As of September 30,December 31, 2014, the investments pledged for collateral with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston hashad a market value of $10.8$10.4 million.
 
The Company uses its liquidity to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and borrowings, to fund other deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets and to meet operating expenses. The Company anticipates that it will continue to have sufficient funds and alternative funding sources to meet its commitments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The following table presents certain information about the Company’s loan commitments and other contingencies outstanding as of September 30,December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

See the discussion and analysis of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk provided in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 for a general discussion of the qualitative aspects of market risk and discussion of the simulation model used by the Company to measure its interest rate risk.

The following table sets forth, as of September 30,December 31, 2014, the estimated changes in the Company's net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous and sustained changes in the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

 
% Change in
Estimated Net Interest
Income over 12 months
400 basis point increase in rates(12.19)(4.75)%
300 basis point increase in rates(8.49)(3.10)%
200 basis point increase in rates(4.93)(1.76)%
100 basis point increase in rates(1.67)(1.23)%
100 basis point decrease in rates(5.53)(6.85)%
 
As indicated in the table above, a 200 basis point increase in interest rates is estimated to decrease net interest income by 4.93%1.76% and 8.49%3.10% for a 300 basis point increase over a 12-month horizon, when compared to the flat rate scenario. The estimated change in net interest income from the flat rate scenario for a 100 basis point decline in the level of interest rates is a decrease of 5.53%6.85%. Inherent in these estimates is the assumption that interest rates on interest bearing liabilities would change in direct proportion to changes in the U.S. Treasury yield curve. In all simulations, the lowest possible interest rate would be zero.
 
There are inherent shortcomings in income simulation, given the number and variety of assumptions that must be made in performing the analysis. The assumptions relied upon in making these calculations of interest rate sensitivity include the level of market interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, the degree to which certain assets and liabilities with similar maturities or periods to repricing react to changes in market interest rates, the degree to which non-maturity deposits react to changes in market rates, the expected prepayment rates on loans and mortgage-backed securities, and the degree to which early withdrawals occur on certificates of deposit and the volume of other deposit flows. As such, although the analysis shown above provides an indication of the Company's sensitivity to interest rate changes at a point in time, these estimates are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on the Company's net interest income and will differ from actual results.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance

39




of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply this judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.


36




Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
  
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
The Company is not involved in any pending legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. Such routine legal proceedings, in the aggregate, are believed by management to be immaterial to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
 
Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
Risks Related toThe information set forth in this report should be read in conjunction with the Merger
If the merger with Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc. is not completed, we will have incurred substantial expenses without our stockholders realizing the expected benefits.
On November 3, 2014, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc., or “Berkshire Hills,” pursuant to which we will merge with and into Berkshire Hills, with Berkshire Hills as the surviving corporation. Completion of the merger is subject to closing conditions including, but not limited to, various regulatory approvals and the approvalrisk factors discussed in Item 1A of our stockholders. We currently expect thatAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the merger will be completed early in the second quarter of 2015. It is possible, however, that factors outside of our control could require the parties to complete the merger at a later time, or not to complete the merger at all. In the event that the merger is not consummated for any reason, we will be subject to many risks, including the costs related to the merger, such as legal, accounting and advisory fees, which must be paid even if the merger is not completed, and, potentially, the payment of a termination fee under certain circumstances. If the merger is not consummated, the market price of our common stock could decline. We also could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the merger or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against us to perform our obligations under the merger agreement.

Our stockholders will receive a fixed ratio of 0.81 shares of Berkshire Hills common stock for each share of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. common stock, regardless of any changes in the market value of our common stock or Berkshire Hills common stock before the completion of the merger.
Upon completion of the merger, each share of Companycommon stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.81 shares of Berkshire Hills common stock. There will be no adjustment to the exchange ratio (except for adjustments to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction with respect to Company common stock), and we do not have a right to terminate the merger agreement based upon changes in the market price of Berkshire Hills common stock, subject to the limited exception described below. Accordingly, the dollar value of Berkshire Hills common stock that our stockholders will receive upon completion of the merger will depend upon the market value of Berkshire Hills common stock at the time of completion of the merger, which may be lower or higher than the closing price of Berkshire Hills common stock on the last full trading day preceding public announcement that Berkshire Hills and we entered into the merger agreement, the last full trading day prior to the date of proxy statement delivered to our stockholders or the date of the stockholder meeting. The market values of Berkshire Hills’ common stockyear ended June 30, 2014 and our common stock have varied since Berkshire Hills and we entered into the merger agreement and will continue to vary in the future due to changes in the business, operations or prospects of Berkshire Hills and us, market assessments of the merger, regulatory considerations, market and economic considerations, and other factors, most of which are beyond our control.
If,Quarterly Report on the date on which all regulatory approvalsForm 10-Q for the merger have been received, the average closing price of Berkshire Hills common stock for the 10-trading period ending on such date is less than $20.62, and since the date of the merger agreement the percentage decrease in the market price of the Berkshire Hills common stock is more than 20% greater than any percentage decrease in the average market price of a prescribed index, we may elect to terminate the merger agreement. If we provide notice of our intent to terminate, Berkshire Hills will have the option of paying additional consideration, as specified in the merger agreement, in order to proceed with the merger.


37


We will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending.
Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees, suppliers and customers may have an adverse effect on us. These uncertainties may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed, and could cause customers, suppliers and others who deal with us to seek to change existing business relationships with us. Our employee retention and recruitment may be particularly challenging prior to the effective time of the merger, as employees and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company.
The pursuit of the merger and the preparation for the integration may place a significant burden on management and internal resources. Any significant diversion of management attention away from ongoing business and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could affect our financial results. In addition, the merger agreement requires that we operate in the usual, regular and ordinary course of business and restricts us from taking certain actions prior to the effective time of the merger or termination of the merger agreement without Berkshire Hills’ consent in writing. These restrictions may prevent us from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger.
Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected or impose conditions that are not presently anticipated.
Before the merger may be completed, certain approvals or consents must be obtained from the various bank regulatory and other authorities in the United States and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. There can be no assurance as to whether the federal or state regulatory approval will be received or the timing of the approvals. Berkshire Hills is not obligated to complete the merger if the regulatory approvals received in connection with the completion of the merger include any conditions or restrictions that would constitute a “Material Adverse Effect” as defined in the merger agreement. While we do not currently expect that any such conditions or restrictions would be imposed, there can be no assurance that they will not be, and such conditions or restrictions could have the effect of delaying completion of the merger.
The termination fee and the restrictions on solicitation contained in the merger agreement may discourage other companies from trying to acquire us.
Until the completion of the merger, we are prohibited from soliciting, initiating, encouraging, or with some exceptions, considering any inquiries or proposals that may lead to a proposal or offer for a merger or other business combination transaction with any person other than Berkshire Hills. In addition, we have agreed to pay a termination fee of $3.6 million for the period ending 45 days from the date of the merger agreement and $4.7 million thereafter to Berkshire Hills in specified circumstances. These provisions could discourage other companies from trying to acquire us even though those other companies might be willing to offer greater value to our stockholders than Berkshire Hills has offered in the merger. The payment of the termination fee also could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.quarter ended September 30, 2014.
