NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q, and accordingly do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity of SBT Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) for the periods presented. In preparing the interim financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011.
While management believes that the disclosures presented are adequate so as not to make the information misleading, it is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
NOTE 2 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
At June 30, 2011, the Company maintained a stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company recognizes the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions in the consolidated financial statements and establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company did not recognize any stock-based employee compensation expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized $9,000 in stock-based employee compensation expense.
NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.” This ASU addresses when to perform step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” This ASU addresses diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. This ASU is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” This ASU provides additional guidance or clarification to help creditors determine whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired, and should measure impairment on those receivables prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Additional disclosures are also required under this ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU. The ASU is expected to cause more loan modifications to be classified as TDRs and the Company is evaluating its modification programs and practices in light of the new ASU.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” The objective of this ASU is to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. This ASU prescribes when an entity may or may not recognize a sale upon the transfer of financial assets subject to repurchase agreements. The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.” The amendments in this ASU explain how to measure fair value. They do not require additional fair value measurements and are not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The objective of this ASU is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. Under this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. An entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. An entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.
NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT DISCLOSURES
In accordance with ASC 820, the Company groups its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are available at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are based on the entity’s own assumption about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the assets or liabilities.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general clarification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value for June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Company did not have any significant transfers of assets or liabilities to and from Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
The Company’s cash instruments are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency.
The Company’s investment in obligations of states and municipalities, mortgage-backed securities and other debt securities available-for-sale are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For these securities, we obtain fair value measurements from independent pricing services. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the instrument’s terms and conditions.
The Company’s impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based upon appraisals of similar properties obtained from a third party. For Level 3 inputs, fair values are based on management estimates.
Other real estate owned values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based upon appraisals of similar properties obtained from a third party. For Level 3 inputs, fair values are based on management estimates.
The following summarizes assets measured at fair value for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

NOTE 5 – EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per common share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.
The following information was used in the computation of EPS on both a basic and diluted basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010:

Credit Quality Indicators: As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators, including trends related to (i) weighted average risk rating of commercial loans; (ii) the level of classified and criticized commercial loans; (iii) non performing loans; (iv) net charge-offs; and (v) the general economic conditions within the State of Connecticut.
The Company utilizes a risk rating grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its commercial loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 7. A description of each rating class is as follows:
Risk Rating 1 (Superior) – This risk rating is assigned to loans secured by cash.
Risk Rating 2 (Good) – This risk rating is assigned to borrowers of high credit quality who have primary and secondary sources of repayment which are well defined and fully confirmed.
Risk Rating 3 (Satisfactory) – This risk rating is assigned to borrowers who are fully responsible for the loan or credit commitment, which has primary and secondary sources of repayment that are well defined and adequately confirmed. Most credit factors are favorable, and the credit exposure is managed through normal monitoring.
Risk Rating 3.5 (Bankable with Care) – This risk rating is assigned to borrowers who are fully responsible for the loan or credit commitment and the secondary sources of repayment are weak. These loans may require more than the average amount of attention from the relationship manager.
Risk Rating 4 (Special Mention) – This risk rating is assigned to borrowers with loan obligations which may be adequately protected by the present debt service capacity and tangible net worth of the borrower, but which have potential problems that could, if not checked or corrected, eventually weaken these assets or otherwise jeopardize the repayment of principal and interest as originally intended. Most credit factors are unfavorable, and the credit exposure requires immediate corrective action.
Risk Rating 5 (Substandard) – This risk rating is assigned to borrowers who have inadequate cash flow or collateral to satisfy their loan obligations as originally defined in the loan agreement. Substandard loans may be placed on nonaccrual status if the conditions described above are generally met.
Risk Rating 6 (Doubtful) – This risk rating is assigned to a borrower or portion of a borrower’s loan with which the Company is no longer certain of the loan’s collectability. A specific reserve allocation is assigned to this portion of the loan.
Risk Rating 7 (Loss) – This risk rating is assigned to loans which have been charged off or the portion of the loan that has been charged off. “Loss” does not imply that the loan, or portion of, will never be repaid, nor does it imply that there has been a forgiveness of debt.

NOTE 8: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On August 11, 2011, as part of the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) Small Business Lending Fund program (the “SBLF”), SBT Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), which is the parent company of The Simsbury Bank and Trust Company, Inc. (the “Bank”), entered into a Small Business Lending Fund – Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Secretary of the Treasury (the “Secretary”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and the Secretary agreed to purchase 9,000 shares of the Company’s Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “SBLF Preferred Stock”), for a purchase price of $9,000,000. The SBLF Preferred Stock was issued pursuant to the SBLF program, a $30 billion fund established under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 that was created to encourage lending to small business by providing capital to qualified community banks with assets of less than $10 billion.
The transaction described above closed on August 11, 2011. The SBLF Preferred Stock was issued in accordance with the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of the SBLF Preferred Stock established in the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company filed on August 8, 2011 with the Secretary of State of Connecticut. The SBLF Preferred Stock has no maturity date and ranks senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company.
The SBLF Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and will pay non-cumulative dividends quarterly on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning October 1, 2011. The dividend rate can fluctuate on a quarterly basis during the first 10 quarters during which the SBLF Preferred Stock is outstanding, based upon changes in the level of “Qualified Small Business Lending” or “QSBL” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) by the Bank. Based upon the increase in the Bank’s level of QSBL over the baseline level calculated under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the dividend rate for the initial dividend period has been set at 3.0671111%. For the second through ninth calendar quarters, the dividend rate may be adjusted between one percent (1%) and five percent (5%) per annum to reflect the amount of change in the Bank’s level of QSBL. If the level of the Bank’s qualified small business loans declines so that the percentage increase in QSBL as compared to the baseline level is less than 10%, then the dividend rate payable on the SBLF Preferred Stock would increase. For the tenth calendar quarter through four and one half years after issuance, the dividend rate will be fixed at between one percent (1%) and seven percent (7%) based upon the increase in QSBL as compared to the baseline. After four and one half years from issuance, the dividend rate will increase to 9% (including a quarterly lending incentive fee of 0.5%).
The terms of the SBLF Preferred Stock impose limits on the ability of the Company to pay dividends and repurchase shares of common stock. Under the terms of the SBLF Preferred Stock, no repurchases may be effected, and no dividends may be declared or paid on preferred shares ranking pari passu with the SBLF Preferred Stock, junior preferred shares, or other junior securities (including the common stock) during the current calendar quarter and for the next three calendar quarters following the failure to declare and pay dividends on the SBLF Preferred Stock, except that, in any such quarter in which the dividend is paid, dividend payments on shares ranking pari passu may be paid to the extent necessary to avoid any resulting material covenant breach.
Under the terms of the SBLF Preferred Stock, the Company may only declare and pay a dividend on the common stock or other stock junior to the SBLF Preferred Stock, or repurchase shares of any such class or series of stock, if, after payment of such dividend, the dollar amount of the Company’s Tier 1 Capital would be at least 90% of the Signing Date Tier 1 Capital, as set forth in the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company fixing the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of the SBLF Preferred Stock, excluding any subsequent net charge-offs and any redemption of the SBLF Preferred Stock (the “Tier 1 Dividend Threshold”). The Tier 1 Dividend Threshold is subject to reduction, beginning on the second anniversary of issuance and ending on the tenth anniversary, by 10% for each one percent increase in QSBL over the baseline level.
The SBLF Preferred Stock is non-voting, except in limited circumstances. In the event that the Company misses five dividend payments, whether or not consecutive, the holder of the SBLF Preferred Stock will have the right, but not the obligation, to appoint a representative as an observer on the Company’s Board of Directors.
The SBLF Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time at the Company’s option, at a redemption price of 100% of the liquidation amount plus accrued but unpaid dividends to the date of redemption for the current period, subject to the approval of the FDIC.
The issuance and sale of the SBLF Preferred Stock was a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, approximately $4,252,078 of the proceeds from the sale of the SBLF Preferred Stock was used to redeem the 4,000 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, and 200 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (collectively, the “CPP Preferred Stock”), issued in March 2009 to the Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”), plus the accrued and unpaid dividends owed on the CPP Preferred Stock through the date of closing of the sale of the SBLF Preferred Stock to the Secretary. The Company entered into a repurchase letter agreement with Treasury providing for the redemption of the CPP Preferred Stock (the “Repurchase Agreement”).
The Board of Directors of the Company has approved a dividend reinvestment plan for its shareholders which it expects to put into place in the near future. The Company estimates that approximately one-half of its shareholders will participate in the dividend reinvestment program which would result in approximately $220,000 annually in new capital at the current dividend rate. The dividend reinvestment plan will also offer shareholders the opportunity to purchase up to $5,000 in stock per calendar quarter through the plan. Shareholders will be receiving information about enrolling in the plan over the next few weeks.

General
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations is designed to provide a better understanding of the significant changes and trends related to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2011. All adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary in order to make the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2011 not misleading have been made.
The Company’s only business is its investment in The Simsbury Bank and Trust Company, Inc. (the “Bank”), which is a community-oriented financial institution providing a variety of banking and investment services. The Bank offers a full range of banking services including commercial loans, real estate term loans, construction loans, SBA loans and a variety of consumer loans; checking, savings, certificates of deposit and money market deposit accounts; and safe deposit and other customary non-deposit banking services to consumers and businesses in north central Connecticut.
The Bank offers investment products and services to customers through SBT Investment Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, and its affiliation with the securities broker/dealer, LPL Financial.
Disclosure of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Some of these policies are particularly sensitive, requiring significant judgments, estimates and assumptions to be made by management. One of these significant policies relates to the provision for loan losses. See the heading “Provision for Loan Losses” below for further details about the Bank’s current provision.
Overview
For the six months ended June 30, 2011 net income was $285,000, or $0.18 per common diluted share. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was impacted by a one-time charge incurred in the first quarter of 2011 related to the Bank’s formation of a Passive Investment Company (PIC). Excluding this one-time charge, net of a favorable income tax adjustment, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 would have been $457,000, or $0.38 per common diluted share. This compares to net income of $516,000, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Total deposits on June 30, 2011 were $309 million, an increase of $60 million or 24% over a year ago. Core deposits (Demand, Savings and NOW accounts) increased by $58 million or 33% while Time Deposits increased by $2 million or 2%. The Company’s deposits from municipalities grew by $8 million or 42% over a year ago. At June 30, 2011, 28% of total deposits were in non-interest bearing demand accounts, 47% were in low-cost savings and NOW accounts, and 25% were in time deposits.
As of June 30, 2011, loans outstanding were $210 million, an increase of $5 million, or 2%, over a year ago. With a loan loss provision of $165,000 during the second quarter of 2011, the Company’s allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2011 was 1.10% of total loans. The profile of the Company’s loan portfolio remains relatively low-risk and contains fewer non-accrual loans. The Company had non-accrual loans totaling $2.1 million equal to 1.0% of total loans on June 30, 2011 compared to non-accrual loans totaling $2.9 million or 1.41% of total loans a year ago. Total non-accrual loans and loans 30 or more days delinquent decreased to 1.17% of loans outstanding on June 30, 2011 from 1.56% of loans outstanding on June 30, 2010.
Total revenues, consisting of net interest and dividend income plus non-interest income, were $3,129,000 in the second quarter compared to $2,981,000 a year ago, an increase of 5% resulting primarily from an increase in non-interest income. Net interest and dividend income declined by approximately 2%, while non-interest income increased by $190,000, or 49%, primarily due to an increase in gain on sales of securities, gain on loans sold, and an increase in fees and commissions related to investment services.
The Company’s taxable-equivalent net interest margin (taxable-equivalent net interest and dividend income divided by average earning assets) was 3.45% for the second quarter of 2011 versus 4.01% for the second quarter of 2010. The Company’s cost of funds declined during the second quarter of 2011 when compared to the second quarter of 2010. However, the Company experienced a greater decline in its yield on assets that more than offset the decline in cost of funds.
Total non-interest expenses for the second quarter were $2,741,000, an increase of $310,000, or 13%, over the second quarter of 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, total non-interest expenses were $5,393,000 compared to $4,751,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of 14%. Salaries and employee benefit expenses and professional fees accounted for approximately 90% of the increase in expenses. These expenses were primarily associated with strategic initiatives to position the Company for future growth.
In January of 2011, the Bank formed a subsidiary Passive Investment Company (PIC). Under State of Connecticut statutes, such an entity is not subject to Connecticut corporation business tax. Provided that statutory requirements and certain other conditions are met, the current annual benefit to net income of establishing the PIC is anticipated to exceed $100,000. This benefit may adjust upward or downward as the Bank’s net income changes over time. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was negatively impacted by certain non-recurring tax charges incurred in establishing the PIC, net of a favorable federal tax adjustment, resulting in a $172,000 one-time net charge reflected in the Company’s first quarter of 2011 income tax provision.
Capital levels for the Bank on June 30, 2011 were above those required to meet the regulatory “well-capitalized” designation.

Results of Operation
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
The Company’s earnings depend largely upon the difference between the income received from its loan portfolio and investment securities and the interest paid on its liabilities, including interest paid on deposits and borrowings. This difference is “net interest income.” The net interest income, when expressed as a percentage of average total interest-earning assets, is referred to as the net yield on interest-earning assets. The Company’s net interest income is affected by the change in the level and the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as volume changes. The Company’s net yield on interest-earning assets is also affected by changes in yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities, referred to as rate changes. Interest rates charged on the Company’s loans are affected principally by the demand for such loans, the supply of money available for lending purposes and competitive factors. These factors are in turn affected by general economic conditions and other factors beyond the Company’s control, such as federal economic policies, the general supply of money in the economy, legislative tax policies, governmental budgetary matters, and the actions of the Federal Reserve Bank.
Net interest and dividend income after provision for loan losses plus non-interest income was $2,964,000 for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $2,781,000 for the second quarter of 2010. The Company’s net interest margin, defined as the ratio of taxable equivalent net interest and dividend income to interest-earning assets or net yield on earning assets, decreased to 3.45% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 from 4.01% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The Company’s net interest spread, defined as the difference between the yield on earning assets and the cost of deposits and borrowings, decreased to 3.32% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 from 3.85% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The Company’s yield on interest earning assets decreased during the second quarter of 2011 to 3.96% as compared to 4.67% for the second quarter of 2010 and the cost of deposits and borrowings decreased to 0.64% for the second quarter of 2011 from 0.82% for the second quarter of 2010.
Net interest and dividend income after provision for loan losses plus non-interest income was $5,932,000 for the first six months of 2011 compared to $5,411,000 for the comparable period in 2010. The Company’s net interest margin, as defined in the immediately preceding paragraph , decreased to 3.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 3.93% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Company’s net interest spread, as defined in the immediately preceding paragraph, decreased to 3.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2011from 3.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Company’s yield on interest earning assets decreased during the first six months of 2011 to 3.92% as compared to 4.63% for the comparable period in 2010, which more than offset the decrease in the cost of deposits and borrowings to 0.68% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 0.87% for the same period in 2010.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on such factors as historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, the amount of non-performing loans, regulatory policies, generally accepted accounting principles, general economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectability of loans in the Company’s portfolio.
Each month, the Company reviews the allowance for loan losses and makes additional provisions to the allowance, as determined by the Company’s guidelines. The total allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2011 was $2,314,000 or 1.10% of outstanding loans as compared to $2,326,000 or 1.13% of outstanding loans as of December 31, 2010. The Company charged off five loans totaling $176,919 in the second quarter of 2011 compared to three loans totaling $100,824 for the second quarter of 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company charged off six loans totaling $182,294 compared to five loans totaling $334,124 in the six months ended June 30, 2010. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company had six recoveries totaling $3,444 compared to zero recoveries for the second quarter of 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company had seven recoveries totaling $5,133 compared to four recoveries totaling $4,494 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Company believes the allowance for loan losses is appropriate.
Non-interest Income and Non-interest Expense
Total non-interest income (which is derived mainly from service and overdraft charges) for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $575,000 compared to $385,000 for the same period in the prior year. Total non-interest income for the first six months of 2011 was $1,079,000, an increase of $332,000 from $747,000 for the first six months of 2010. The increase in total non-interest income was primarily due to an increase in gain on sales of securities, gain on loans sold, and an increase in fees and commissions related to investment services. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately 21,200 deposit accounts.
Total non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $2,741,000 compared to $2,431,000 for the same period in the prior year. Total non-interest expense for the first six months of 2011 was $5,393,000, an increase of $642,000 over total non-interest expense of $4,751,000 for the first six months of 2010. Salaries and employee benefit expenses and professional fees accounted for approximately 90% of the increase in expenses. These expenses were primarily associated with strategic initiatives to position the Company for future growth. The ratio of annualized operating expenses to average assets was 3.46% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 3.47% for the second quarter of 2010.
Salaries and employee benefits comprised approximately 51% of total non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 49% for the same period in the prior year. Other major categories included premises and equipment, which comprised approximately 12% of non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 14% for the three months ended June 30, 2010; advertising and promotions, which comprised approximately 4% of total non-interest expense for each of the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010; and professional fees, which comprised approximately 8% and 7%, respectively, of total non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 was 11.21% and 22%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 was 47.12% and 21.82%, respectively. Due to the creation of a special purpose entity under State of Connecticut statues, the Company will no longer incur state income tax liability except for the minimum tax. Therefore, the Company incurred a one-time charge to expense for the reversal of state deferred tax assets, net of federal benefit, which will not be utilized. Excluding this one-time charge, the effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 would have been 11.21% and 15.21%, respectively.
On January 1, 2011, the company formed a Passive Investment Company (PIC) under Connecticut tax legislation for the purpose of holding certain mortgage loans. The earnings, net of certain allocated expenses, will be exempt from Connecticut state income tax as long as the PIC meets certain ongoing qualifications.
Financial Condition
Investment Portfolio
In order to maintain a reserve of readily sellable assets to meet the Company’s liquidity and loan requirements, the Company purchases United States Treasury securities and other investments. Sales of “federal funds” (short-term loans to other banks) are regularly utilized. Placement of funds in certificates of deposit with other financial institutions may be made as alternative investments pending utilization of funds for loans or other purposes.
Securities may be pledged to meet regulatory requirements imposed as a condition to receipt of deposits of public funds and repurchase agreements. At June 30, 2011, the Company had 37 securities with a carrying value totaling $13,285,000 pledged for such purposes. At December 31, 2010, the Company had 45 securities with a carrying value totaling $16,587,000 pledged for such purposes.
As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s investment portfolio consisted of U.S. government and agency securities, municipal securities, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, money market securities, and U.S.-government-sponsored agency equity securities. The U.S. government-sponsored agency equity securities were sold in May of 2011 for a gain of $162,000. The Company’s policy is to stagger the maturities of its investment securities to meet overall liquidity requirements of the Company.
The fair market value of investments in available-for-sale securities as of June 30, 2011 was $53,857,000, which is 1.9% above amortized cost, compared to $46,289,000, which was 1% above amortized cost as of December 31, 2010. The Company has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available-for-sale, and equity securities until recovery to cost basis occurs.
Management periodically reviews all investment securities with significant declines in fair value for potential other-than-temporary impairment pursuant to the guidance in ASC 320-10, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.” ASC 320-10 addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment is other-than-temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. Management evaluates the Company’s investment portfolio on an ongoing basis. As of June 30, 2011, there were no investment securities in the investment portfolio that management determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
Loan Portfolio
The Company’s loan portfolio as of the end of the second quarter of 2011 was comprised of approximately 74% mortgage and consumer loans and 26% commercial loans. The Company does not have any concentrations in its loan portfolio by industry or group of industries. However, as of June 30, 2011, approximately 86% of the Company’s loans were secured by residential real property located in Connecticut compared with 71% as of December 31, 2010.
There were approximately $147,236,000 of residential mortgage loans as of June 30, 2011, which represented a 1% decrease from December 31, 2010. The Company sold thirteen loans in the three months ended June 30, 2011 with an aggregate principal balance of $2,300,000, which resulted in a gain of $44,000. The Company sold twenty five loans in the six months ended June 30, 2011 with an aggregate principal balance of $4,101,000, which resulted in a gain of $90,800. The Company had $10,000 in commission fee income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company sold one loan with a principal balance of $185,000 which resulted in a gain of $7,700. The Company is an approved originator of loans that can be sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.
At June 30, 2011, the Company had total consumer loan balances of approximately $7,293,000 representing a 62% increase from the consumer loan balances at December 31, 2010. Most of the Company’s consumer loans are secured by the equity in residential real property or other personal property. Consumer home equity loans and lines of credit enable borrowers to leverage the equity in their homes to achieve personal financial goals, while providing for the ability to make monthly payments. The June 30, 2011 loan balance for these products represented just under 90% of the total consumer loan portfolio.
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $6,501,000 in consumer auto loans purchased from BCI Financial Corp. (BCI) on its books compared to approximately $3,791,000 in auto loans purchased from BCI on its books as of December 31, 2010. The Company has an agreement with BCI pursuant to which the Company purchases auto loans from BCI. As part of the agreement, BCI services the loans for the Company.
The June 30, 2011 balance for commercial loans was $54,700,000, a 5.4% increase from the commercial loan balance at December 31, 2010. The Company’s commercial loans are made to borrowers for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, or financing other business purposes. Such loans include loans with maturities ranging from thirty days to one year and “term loans,” which are loans with maturities normally ranging from one year to twenty-five years. Short-term business loans are generally intended to finance current transactions and typically provide for periodic principal payments, with interest payable monthly. Term loans normally provide for fixed or floating interest rates, with monthly payments of both principal and interest.
The Company’s construction loans are primarily interim loans made by the Company to finance the construction of commercial and single-family residential property. These loans are typically short-term. The Company generally pre-qualifies construction loan borrowers for permanent “take-out” financing as a condition to making the construction loan. The Company will make loans for speculative housing construction or for acquisition and development of raw land.
The Company’s other real estate loans consist primarily of loans made based on the borrower’s cash flow and which are secured by deeds of trust on commercial and residential property to provide another source of repayment in the event of default. It is the Company’s policy to restrict real estate loans without credit enhancement to no more than 80% of the lower of the appraised value or the purchase price of the property, depending on the type of property and its utilization.
The Company offers both fixed and floating rate loans. Maturities on such loans typically range from five to thirty years. However, Small Business Administration (SBA) and certain other real estate loans easily sold in the secondary market are made for longer maturities. The Company has been designated an approved SBA lender. The Company’s SBA loans are categorized as commercial or real estate depending on the underlying collateral. Also, the Company has been approved as an originator of loans that can be sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.
The Company is subject to certain lending limits. With certain exceptions, the Company is permitted under applicable law to make related extensions of credit to any single borrowing entity of up to 15% of the Company’s capital and reserves. Credit equaling an additional 10% of the Company’s capital and reserves may be extended if the credit is fully secured by qualified collateral of limited types. As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s lending limits were $3,660,000 and $6,100,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, these lending limits were $3,607,000 and $6,011,000, respectively. The Company sells participations in its loans when necessary to stay within lending limits.
Interest on performing loans is accrued and taken into income daily. Loans over 90 days past due are deemed non-performing and are placed on a non-accrual status. Interest received on non-accrual loans is credited to income only upon receipt and in certain circumstances may be applied to principal until the loan has been repaid in full, at which time the interest received is credited to income. The Company had 15 non-accrual loans at June 30, 2011 with an aggregate balance of approximately $2,105,000 and 19 non-accrual loans at December 31, 2010 with an aggregate balance of approximately $2,300,000.
When appropriate or necessary to protect the Company’s interests, real estate pledged as collateral on a loan may be taken by the Company through foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Real property acquired in this manner by the Company is known as “other real estate owned” (OREO) and is carried on the books of the Company as an asset at the lesser of the Company’s recorded investment or the fair value less estimated costs to sell. The Company had no OREO property at June 30, 2011 compared to one OREO property carried on the books of the Company at $350,121 at December 31, 2010. This OREO property was sold in May 2011 for a loss of $28,000.
A loan whose terms have been modified due to financial difficulties of a borrower is reported as a troubled debt restructure (“TDR”). All TDRs are placed on non-accrual status until the loan qualifies for return to accrual status. Loans qualify for return to accrual status once borrowers have demonstrated performance with the restructured terms of the loan agreement for a minimum of six months. The Company had five TDR loans at June 30, 2011 with a balance of approximately $978,000 compared to three TDR loans at December 31, 2010 with a balance of approximately $408,000.
Non-payment of loans is an inherent risk in the banking business. That risk varies with the type and purpose of the loan, the collateral which is utilized to secure payment and, ultimately, the creditworthiness of the borrower. In order to minimize this credit risk, the Company requires that all loans be approved by at least two officers, one of whom must be an executive officer. Commercial loans greater than $500,000, as well as other loans in certain circumstances, must be approved by the Loan Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
The Company has an internal review process to verify credit quality and risk classifications. In addition, the Company also maintains a program of annual review of certain new and renewed loans by an outside loan review consultant. Loans are graded from “pass” to “loss” depending on credit quality, with “pass” representing loans that are fully satisfactory as additions to the Company’s portfolio. These are loans which involve a degree of risk that is not unwarranted given the favorable aspects of the credit and which exhibit both primary and secondary sources of repayment. Classified loans identified in the review process are added to the Company’s Internal Watchlist and an allowance for credit losses is established for such loans if appropriate. Additionally, the Bank is examined regularly by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the State of Connecticut Department of Banking, at which times a further review of loans is conducted.
There were 52 classified loans with combined outstanding balances of $7,539,000 as of June 30, 2011 compared to 52 classified loans with combined outstanding balances of $7,820,966 as of December 31, 2010. The Company had no exposure to sub-prime loans in its loan portfolio as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Company overall asset quality and loan loss reserves of 1.10% of loans as of June 30, 2011 compare favorably to its peer banks.
The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio. Additions to the allowance are made by charges to operating expenses in the form of a provision for loan losses. All loans that are judged to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance, while any recoveries are credited to the allowance. Management conducts a critical evaluation of the loan portfolio monthly. This evaluation includes an assessment of the following factors: the results of the Company’s internal loan review, any external loan review, any regulatory examination, loan loss experience, estimated potential loss exposure on each credit, concentrations of credit, value of collateral, any known impairment in the borrower’s ability to repay, qualitative risk factors, and present and prospective economic conditions.
Deposits
Deposits are the Company’s primary source of funds. At June 30, 2011, the Company had a deposit mix of 42% checking, 33% savings, and 25% certificates of deposit. The Company’s net interest income is enhanced by its percentage of non-interest-bearing deposits. As of December 31, 2010, the deposit mix was 34% checking, 37% savings, and 29% certificates of deposit. At June 30, 2011, twenty eight percent of the total deposits of $309,149,000 were non-interest-bearing compared to twenty one percent of the Company’s total deposits of $269,279,000 that were non-interest-bearing at December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $30,134,000 and $35,600,000, respectively, in deposits from public sources.
The Company’s deposits are obtained from a cross-section of the communities it serves. No material portion of the Company’s deposits has been obtained from or is dependent upon any one person or industry. The Company’s business is not seasonal in nature. The Company accepts deposits in excess of $100,000 from customers. Those deposits are priced to remain competitive.
The Company is not dependent upon funds from sources outside the United States and has not made any loans to a foreign entity.
Liquidity and Asset-Liability Management
Liquidity management for banks requires that funds always be available to pay anticipated deposit withdrawals and maturing financial obligations promptly and fully in accordance with their terms. The balance of the funds required is generally provided by payments on loans, sale of loans, liquidation of assets, borrowings, and the acquisition of additional deposit liabilities. One method banks utilize for acquiring additional liabilities is through the acceptance of “brokered deposits” (defined to include not only deposits received through deposit brokers but also deposits bearing interest in excess of 75 basis points over market rates), typically attracting large certificates of deposit at high interest rates. The Company is a member of Promontory Interfinancial Network LLC’s Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS). This allows the Company to offer its customers FDIC insurance on deposits in excess of $250,000, which reflects the deposit insurance limits in effect on the report date, by placing the deposits in the CDARS network. Accounts placed in this manner are considered brokered deposits. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $7,803,000 of deposits in the CDARS network compared to $7,701,000 of deposits in the CDARS network as of December 31, 2010. The Company had no other brokered deposits as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
To meet liquidity needs, the Company maintains a portion of its funds in cash deposits in other banks, federal funds sold, and available-for-sale securities. As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s liquidity ratio was 32%, defined as the sum of $4.1 million in federal funds sold, $40.6 million in available-for-sale securities, and $55.7 million in cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank, and money market mutual funds, as a percentage of total deposits. This ratio was 22% at December 31, 2010, defined as the sum of $2.8 million in federal funds sold, $29.7 million in available-for-sale securities, and $28.1 million in cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank, and money market mutual funds, as a percentage of total deposits.
The careful planning of asset and liability maturities and the matching of interest rates to correspond with this matching of maturities is an integral part of the active management of an institution’s net yield. To the extent maturities of assets and liabilities do not match in a changing interest rate environment, net yields may be affected. Even with perfectly matched repricing of assets and liabilities, risks remain in the form of prepayment of assets, timing lags in adjusting certain assets and liabilities that have varying sensitivities to market interest rates and basis risk. In its overall attempt to match assets and liabilities, management takes into account rates and maturities offered in connection with its certificates of deposit and provides for the extension of variable rate loans to borrowers. The Company has generally been able to control its exposure to changing interest rates by maintaining floating interest rate loans, shorter term investments, and a majority of its time certificates of deposit with relatively short maturities.
The Executive Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors meets at least quarterly to monitor the Company’s investments and liquidity needs and oversee its asset-liability management. In between meetings of the Executive Committee, the Company’s management oversees the Bank’s liquidity.
Capital Requirements
The banking industry is subject to capital adequacy requirements based on risk-adjusted assets. The risk-based guidelines are used to evaluate capital adequacy and are based on the institution’s asset risk profile, including investments and loans, and off-balance sheet exposures, such as unused loan commitments and standby letters of credit. The guidelines require that a portion of total capital be core, or Tier 1. Tier 1 capital is the aggregate of common stockholders’ equity and perpetual preferred stock, less goodwill and certain other deductions. Total capital consists of Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses subject to certain limitations. Leverage ratio is defined as Tier 1 capital divided by average assets.
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s capital exceeded all minimum regulatory requirements and the Company was considered to be “well capitalized” as defined in the regulations issued by the FDIC.
Inflation
The impact of inflation on financial institutions may differ significantly from the impact exerted on other companies. Banks, as financial intermediaries, have numerous assets and liabilities that may move in concert with inflation both as to interest rates and as to value. This is especially true for companies with a high percentage of interest-rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, such as a bank. Banks seek to reduce the impact of inflation by managing the interest-rate-sensitivity gap. The Company attempts to manage its interest-rate-sensitivity gap and to structure its mix of financial instruments in order to minimize the potential adverse effects of inflation or other market forces on its net interest income and, therefore, its earnings and capital.
Financial institutions are also affected by inflation’s impact on non-interest expenses such as salaries and occupancy expenses. From 1992 through June 30, 2011, inflation has remained relatively stable due primarily to continuous management of the money supply by the Federal Reserve. Based on the Company’s interest-rate-sensitivity position, the Company may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates in the short term. As such, the management of the money supply by the Federal Reserve to control the rate of inflation has an indirect impact on the earnings of the Company. Also, changes in interest rates may have a corresponding impact on the ability of borrowers to repay loans with the Company.
