CHICOPEE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
At and for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
Chicopee Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) has no significant assets other than all of the outstanding shares of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Chicopee Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and Chicopee Funding Corporation (collectively, the “Company”). The Corporation was formed on March 14, 2006 by the Bank to become the holding company for the Bank upon completion of the Bank’s conversion from a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank. The conversion of the Bank was completed on July 19, 2006. The accounts of the Bank include both of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of March 31, 2009 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows, as of and for the periods covered herein, have been made. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The results for the three-month interim periods covered hereby are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.
Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the adjusted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The adjusted outstanding common shares equals the gross number of common shares issued less treasury shares, unallocated shares of the Chicopee Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) and nonvested restricted stock awards under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and certain stock awards and are determined using the treasury stock method.

Earnings per share is computed as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Net income (in thousands) | | $ | 114 | | | $ | 188 | |
| | | | | | | | |

Weighted average number of common shares issued | | | 7,439,368 | | | | 7,439,368 | |
Less: average number of treasury shares | | | (956,991 | ) | | | (288,863 | ) |
Less: average number of unallocated ESOP shares | | | (505,878 | ) | | | (535,635 | ) |
Less: average number of nonvested restricted stock awards | | | (234,755 | ) | | | (297,574 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
| | |
Adjusted weighted average number of common shares outstanding | | | 5,741,744 | | | | 6,317,296 | |
Plus: dilutive nonvested restricted stock awards | | | — | | | | 13,010 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding | | | 5,741,744 | | | | 6,330,306 | |

Net income per share: | | | | | | | | |
Basic | | $ | 0.02 | | | $ | 0.03 | |
Diluted | | $ | 0.02 | | | $ | 0.03 | |
There were 671,667 and 666,667 stock options that were not included in the diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively because their effect is anti-dilutive. In addition, there were 234,755 and 293,438 stock awards that were not included in the diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively because their effect is anti-dilutive.
Stock Options
Under the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may grant options to directors, officers and employees for up to 743,936 shares of common stock. Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be granted under the Plan. The exercise price for each option is equal to the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and the maximum term of each option is ten years. The stock options vest over five years in five equal installments on each anniversary of the date of grant.
The Company recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period, based on the grant-date fair value of the options granted. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:
| | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | 2009 | | 2008 |
Expected dividend yield | | 2.00% | | 2.00% |
Expected term | | 6.5 years | | 6.5 years |
Expected volatility | | 24.52% | | 23.00% |
Risk-free interest rate | | 1.99% | | 5.08% |
Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors. The risk-free ratio for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The Company uses historical data, such as option exercise and employee termination rates, to calculate the expected option life.
7
A summary of options under the Plan as of March 31, 2009, and changes during the three months then ended, is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Number of Shares | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |

4. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In January 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF No. 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20”. FSP EITF 99-20-1 amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interest that Continue to be held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The FSP also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in FASB Statement No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and other related guidance. This Statement will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008. Management has implemented this guidance and is currently reviewing the Company’s securities portfolio in accordance with this FSP.
In April 2009, FASB issued FSP No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”. FSP FAS 157-4 relates to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. This Statement will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. This Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. Management does not expect the application of this Statement will have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
In April 2009, FASB issued FSP No. 115-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”. FSP FAS 115-2 is intended to bring greater consistency to the timing of impairment recognition, and provide greater clarity to investors about credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. This Statement will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Currently, the bank does not hold any other-than-temporary impaired securities. Management does not expect the application of this Statement will have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
In April 2009, FASB issued FSP No. 107-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. FSP FAS 107-1 relates to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet of companies at fair value. Prior to issuing this FSP, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed once a year. This FSP now requires these disclosures on a quarterly basis, providing qualitative and quantitative information about fair value estimates for all those financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value. This Statement will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management will be adding this disclosure to the Company’s quarterly reports beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2009.

5. | Comprehensive Income or Loss |
Accounting principles generally require recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses to be included in net income or loss. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as the after-tax effect of unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, are not reflected in the statement of income, but the cumulative effect of such items from period-to-period is reflected as a separate component of the equity section of the statement of financial condition (accumulated other comprehensive income or loss). Other comprehensive income or loss, along with net income or loss, comprises the Company’s total comprehensive loss.
Comprehensive loss is comprised of the following:

6. | Defined Benefit Pension Plan |
Prior to January 31, 2007, the Company sponsored a noncontributory defined benefit plan through its membership in the Savings Bank Employees Retirement Association (“SBERA”).
As of January 31, 2007, the Company terminated the Pension Plan. As of March 31, 2009, the Bank had no accrued liability. All funds from the Plan were distributed on July 16, 2008 to all eligible employees who were active when the plan terminated.
For the three months ended March 31, 2008 the components of the net periodic benefit cost are:

7. | Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities |
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company did not adopt SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.”
In accordance with SFAS No. 157, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
Level 1 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 1 also includes U.S. Treasury, other U.S. government and agency mortgage-backed securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Valuations for assets and liabilities with inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term. Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities traded in inactive markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities or from models arising from observable inputs.
Level 3 – Valuations for assets and liabilities with inputs that are unobservable, which are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and are not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets and liabilities.

The valuation approach used to value the securities available-for-sale was the market approach.
Also, the Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets as of March 31, 2009.

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 114, a valuation reserve of $153,000 as of March 31, 2009 and $110,000 as of December 31, 2008 was included in the allowance for loan losses, for the above impaired loans. The amount of impaired loans represents the carrying value, net of the related allowance for loan losses on impaired loans for which adjustments are based on the appraised value of the collateral which is based on the market approach of valuation.
Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |

General
Chicopee Savings Bank is a community-oriented financial institution dedicated to serving the financial services needs of consumers and businesses within its market area. We attract deposits from the general public and use such funds to originate primarily one- to four-family residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans and commercial loans. To a lesser extent, we originate multi-family loans, construction loans and consumer loans. At March 31, 2009, we operated out of our main office, lending and operations center, and seven branch offices located in Chicopee, Ludlow, South Hadley, Ware, and West Springfield; all in Western Massachusetts.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008
The Company’s assets decreased $2.2 million, or 0.4%, to $525.4 million at March 31, 2009 as compared to $527.6 million at December 31, 2008, primarily as a result of a decrease in held-to-maturity securities of $4.0 million, a decrease in net loans of $1.1 million, and an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $3.1 million. The decrease in held-to-maturity securities is primarily due maturities of U.S. Treasury securities. Total net loans decreased to $415.2 million from $416.3 million as of December 31, 2008, with one-to-four family loans decreasing $3.0 million, or 1.8%, and construction loans increasing $1.7 million, or 4.2%.
The balance sheet compression was also a result of paying down $15.9 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Deposits increased $12.7 million to $346.2 million, compared to $333.4 million as of December 31, 2008. Core deposits, which exclude certificates of deposit, increased $13.5 million, or 10.2%, to $146.1 million at March 31, 2009 from $132.6 million at December 31, 2008 as a result of successful business development efforts. Certificates of deposit balances decreased $767,000, or 0.4%, to $200.1 million at March 31, 2009 due to the decreasing rate environment.
Total stockholders’ equity decreased $390,000, or 0.4%, to $93.6 million at March 31, 2009 from December 31, 2008, resulting mainly from the purchase of 36,900 shares of the Company’s common stock through the Company’s stock repurchase program, at a cost of $406,000. Partially offsetting the decrease was net income of $114,000 during the period.

Allowance for Loan Losses
Management prepares a loan loss analysis on a quarterly basis. The allowance for loan losses is maintained through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to operations. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount that management considers appropriate to cover estimated losses in the loan portfolio based on management’s on-going evaluation of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio, consideration of local and regional trends in delinquency and impaired loans, the amount of charge-offs and recoveries, the volume of loans, changes in risk selection, credit concentrations, existing loan-to-value ratios, national and regional economies and the real estate market in the Company’s primary lending area. Management believes that the current allowance for loan losses is appropriate to cover probable losses inherent in the current loan portfolio. The Company’s loan loss allowance determinations also incorporate factors and analyses which consider the principal loss associated with the loan. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s estimate of the amount required to reflect the potential inherent losses in the loan portfolio, based on circumstances and conditions known or anticipated at each reporting date. There are inherent uncertainties with respect to the collectibility of the Bank’s loans and it is reasonably possible that actual loss experience in the near term may differ from the amounts reflected in this report.
The allowance for loan losses is determined using a consistent, systematic methodology which analyzes the size and risk of the loan portfolio. In addition to evaluating the collectibility of specific loans when determining the allowance for loan losses, management also takes into consideration other factors such as
16
changes in the mix and the volume of the loan portfolio, historic loss experience, amount of the delinquencies and loans adversely classified, and economic trends. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is assessed by the allocation process whereby specific loss allocations are made against certain adversely classified loans, and general loss allocations are made against segments of the loan portfolio which have similar attributes. The Bank’s historical loss experience, industry trends, and the impact of the local and regional economy on the Bank’s borrowers, were considered by management in determining the allowance for loan losses.
The following table sets forth activity in the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the periods set forth.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
General
Net income decreased $74,000, to $114,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to $188,000 for the same quarter last year. The decrease in net income for the first quarter of 2009 was primarily as a result of the narrowing of the net interest margin and an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense and occupancy expenses relating to the Bank’s expansion that included two additional branch locations.
Analysis of Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends on the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them.
The following table sets forth average balances, interest income and expense and yields earned or rates paid on the major categories of assets and liabilities for the periods indicated. The average yields and costs are derived by dividing interest income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively. The yields and costs are annualized. Average balances are derived from average daily balances. The yields and costs include fees which are considered adjustments to yields. Loan interest and yield data does not include any accrued interest from nonaccruing loans.

Net interest income increased $241,000, or 6.9%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2008, mainly driven by the decreased interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin decreased 13 basis points to 3.14% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from the comparable period in 2008 primarily resulting from the decreasing rate environment.
Interest and dividend income, on a tax equivalent basis, declined $313,000, or 4.9%, to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $6.4 million for the same period last year, largely reflecting growth in average interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets totaled $486.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $434.9 million for the same period last year, an increase of $51.7 million, or 11.9%. Average loans increased $37.8 million, or 9.9%, primarily due to strong originations. Average investment securities increased $16.1 million, or 42.6%, principally reflecting purchases of agencies and U.S. treasury securities. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 84 basis points to 5.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, principally as a result of lower market rates of interest on investment securities and fed funds. The lower interest rate environment led to an increase in the levels of loan prepayment and refinancing volume.
Total interest expense decreased $552,000, or 19.1%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $2.9 million for the same period in 2008, resulting primarily from decreased cost of liabilities. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $68.1 million, or 20.6%, to $398.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $330.8 million for the comparable period in 2008 reflecting an increase in interest-bearing borrowings and deposits. Rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities declined 115 basis points to 2.37% for the first quarter of 2009, largely reflecting the lower market interest rates. The lower interest rate environment led to a decrease in rates paid for certificates of deposit as well as the repricing of a portion of the Company’s outstanding certificates of deposit.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2009 was $94,000 compared to $10,000 for the same period in 2008. The increase in provision for loan losses was due to the increase in general reserve requirement allocation percentages and a slight increase to specific reserve allocations. The allowance for loan losses is maintained through provisions for loan losses.
Non-interest Income
Total non-interest income increased $201,000, or 41.4%, to $687,000 for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $486,000 for the same period in 2008. The increase is primarily due to the increase in loan sales and servicing.
Non-interest Expenses
Non-interest expenses increased $530,000, or 14.4%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2008. The increase is primarily attributable to occupancy expenses that increased $179,000, or 61.9%, to $468,000 and salaries and employee benefits expense that increased $131,000, or 5.9%, to $2.4 million and for the first quarter of 2009 reflecting the bank’s expansion that included two additional branch locations.
Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax expense decreased $83,000, or 98.8%, to $1,000 for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $84,000 in the first quarter of 2008. The Company’s combined federal and state effective tax rate was 0.9%, down from 30.9% for the same period in 2008. This decrease resulted from the combination of a decrease in taxable income and the impact of tax exempt income.

Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
We believe that it is common practice in the banking industry to present interest income and related yield information on tax exempt securities on a tax-equivalent basis and that such information is useful to investors because it facilitates comparisons among financial institutions. However, the adjustment of interest income and yields on tax exempt securities to a tax equivalent amount may be considered to include financial information that is not in compliance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation from GAAP to non-GAAP is provided below.

Liquidity Management
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Prepayment rates can have a significant impact on interest income. Because of the large percentage of loans we hold, rising or falling interest rates have a significant impact on the prepayment speeds of our earning assets that in turn affect the rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayments tend to slow. When interest rates fall, prepayments tend to rise. Our asset sensitivity would be reduced if prepayments slow and vice versa. While we believe these assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates will approximate actual loan repayment activity. Our short-term investments are primarily comprised of U.S. Treasury and government agencies, which we use primarily for the collateral purposes for sweep accounts maintained by commercial customers. The balance of these investments fluctuates as the aggregate balance of our sweep accounts fluctuates.
We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of: (1) expected loan demands; (2) expected deposit flows; (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy.
Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents net of reserve requirements totaled $26.2 million. Agencies and U.S. Treasury securities net of pledged securities totaled $7.6 million. Collateralized mortgage obligations totaled $6.4 million. Securities

classified as available-for-sale totaled $4.4 million at March 31, 2009. At March 31, 2009, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $111.1 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. On March 31, 2009, we had $60.6 million of borrowings outstanding. In addition, we had the following available lines of credit: a $4.9 million credit line with the FHLB, a $2.0 million borrowing line of with the Depositors Insurance Fund, and a $3.0 million unsecured line of credit of with Bankers Bank, N.E.
At March 31, 2009, we had $77.9 million in loan commitments outstanding, which consisted of $4.9 million of commitments to grant commercial loans, $13.6 million of commitments to grant mortgage loans, $10.3 million in unadvanced construction loan commitments, $46.5 million in unfunded commitments under lines of credit and $2.6 million in commercial standby letters of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2009 totaled $122.9 million, or 61.4%, of our certificates of deposit. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before March 31, 2010. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
Capital Management
We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At March 31, 2009, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements. The Bank is considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. The Company is subject to the Federal Reserve Board’s capital adequacy guidelines for bank holding companies (on a consolidated basis) substantially similar to those of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company exceeded these requirements at March 31, 2009.
The Company’s and Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are presented in the table.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, letters of credit and lines of credit. We currently have no plans to engage in hedging activities in the future.
For the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
Qualitative Aspects of Market Risk
We manage the interest rate sensitivity of our interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets in an effort to minimize the adverse effects of changes in the interest rate environment. Deposit accounts typically react more quickly to changes in market interest rates than mortgage loans because of the shorter maturities of deposits. As a result, sharp increases in interest rates may adversely affect our earnings while decreases in interest rates may beneficially affect our earnings. To reduce the potential volatility of our earnings, we have sought to improve the match between asset and liability maturities and rates, while maintaining an acceptable interest rate spread. Our strategy for managing interest rate risk emphasizes: adjusting the maturities of borrowings; adjusting the investment portfolio mix and duration; increasing our focus on shorter-term, adjustable-rate commercial and multi-family lending; selling fixed-rate mortgage loans; and periodically selling available-for-sale securities. We currently do not participate in hedging programs, interest rate swaps or other activities involving the use of derivative financial instruments.
We have an Asset/Liability Committee, which includes members of management, to communicate, coordinate and control all aspects involving asset/liability management. The committee reports to the Board of Directors of the Bank quarterly and establishes and monitors the volume, maturities, pricing and mix of assets and funding sources with the objective of managing assets and funding sources to provide results that are consistent with liquidity, growth, risk limits and profitability goals.
Quantitative Aspects of Market Risk
We analyze our interest rate sensitivity to manage the risk associated with interest rate movements through the use of interest income simulation. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest sensitive.” An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period.
25
Our goal is to manage asset and liability positions to moderate the effects of interest rate fluctuations on net interest income. Interest income simulations are completed monthly and presented to the Asset/Liability Committee and Board of Directors of the Bank. The simulations provide an estimate of the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income under a range of assumptions. The numerous assumptions used in the simulation process are reviewed by the Asset/Liability Committee and the Board of Directors of the Bank on a quarterly basis. Changes to these assumptions can significantly affect the results of the simulation. The simulation incorporates assumptions regarding the potential timing in the repricing of certain assets and liabilities when market rates change and the changes in spreads between different market rates. The simulation analysis incorporates management’s current assessment of the risk that pricing margins will change adversely over time due to competition or other factors.
Simulation analysis is only an estimate of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. We continually review the potential effect changes in interest rates could have on the repayment of rate sensitive assets and funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities.
The table below sets forth an approximation of our exposure as a percentage of estimated net interest income for the next 12 month period using interest income simulation. The simulation uses projected repricing of assets and liabilities at March 31, 2009 on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated repayments and scheduled rate adjustments. Prepayment rates can have a significant impact on interest income simulation. Because of the large percentage of loans we hold, rising or falling interest rates have a significant impact on the prepayment speeds of our earning assets that in turn affect the rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayments tend to slow. When interest rates fall, prepayments tend to rise. Our asset sensitivity would be reduced if prepayments slow and vice versa. While we believe such assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates will approximate future mortgage-backed security and loan repayment activity.
The following table reflects changes in estimated net interest income for the Bank at March 31, 2008 through March 31, 2009.
| | | | | | | | | | |
Increase (Decrease) in Market Interest Rates (Rate Shock) | | Net Interest Income | |
| $ Amount | | $ Change | | | % Change | |
(Dollars In Thousands) | |
300 bp | | $ | 15,495 | | $ | 1,091 | | | 7.6 | % |
200 | | $ | 15,251 | | $ | 847 | | | 5.9 | % |

(200) | | $ | 13,645 | | $ | (759 | ) | | -5.3 | % |
The basis point changes in rates in the above table are assumed to occur evenly over the following 12 months.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s
26
management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 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.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. At March 31, 2009, the risk factors for the Company have not changed materially from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. However, the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
