HAMPDEN BANCORP, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED 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 initial public offering. Hampden Bank has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hampden Investment Corporation, which engages in buying, selling, holding and otherwise dealing in securities, and Hampden Insurance Agency, which ceased selling insurance pr oducts 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 period ended September 30, 2010 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 ther eto for the year ended June 30, 2010 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 7, 2010.
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, deferred income taxes, and other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-16, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. This update is designed to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within the first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of the statement are to be applied to transfers that occur on or after the effective date. This guidance was adopted as of July 1, 2010 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-18 Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That is Accounted for as a Single Asset. This update is effective for modifications of loans accounted for with pools in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. This update provides guidance on accounting for acquired loans that have evidence of credit deterioration upon acquisition. It allows acquired assets with common risk characteristics to be accounted for in the aggregate as a pool. This update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11 Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives This is an update to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging and is effective for fiscal quarters beginning after June 15, 2010. This ASU clarifies that the scope exception in Paragraphs 815-15-15-8 through 15-9 only applies to the transfer of credit risk in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another. This would apply to a securitization that is issued in several tranches and one tranche is subordinate to another tranche of the same securitization. Under these circumstances the embedded credit derivative does not have to be analyzed under the above paragraphs for possible bifurcation. ;This update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310), Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. This Update requires an entity to provide disclosures that facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of (1) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s loan portfolio, (2) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for loan and lease losses, and (3) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses. For public entities, the disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this Update will require significant additional disclosures commencing with the Company’s December 31, 2010 interim financial statements and subsequent financial statements.
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 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 calculati ons as they are committed to be released.
Earnings per share for the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 have been computed as follows:
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
| | | | | | |
Net income (loss) applicable to common stock (in thousands) | | $ | 543 | | | $ | (162 | ) |

Less: average unvested restricted stock awards | | | (180,832 | ) | | | (252,167 | ) |
Average number of basic shares outstanding | | | 6,382,519 | | | | 6,602,476 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Plus: average dilutive unvested restricted stock awards | | | 34,912 | | | | - | |
Average number of diluted shares outstanding | | | 6,417,431 | | | | 6,602,476 | |

Basic earnings (loss) per share | | $ | 0.09 | | | $ | (0.02 | ) |
Diluted earnings (loss) per share | | $ | 0.08 | | | $ | (0.02 | ) |
There were 558,000 stock options for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 553,000 stock options for the three months ended September 30, 2009 that were excluded from the diluted earnings per share because their effect is anti-dilutive. There were 317,996 shares of restricted stock for the three months ending September 30, 2009 that were excluded from the diluted earnings per share because their effect is anti-dilutive.
4. Dividends
On August 2, 2010, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.03 per common share which was paid on August 30, 2010 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 16, 2010.
On November 2, 2010, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.03 per common share which is payable on November 29, 2010 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 12, 2010.
5. Loan Commitments and other Contingencies
Outstanding loan commitments and other contingencies totaled $87.1 million at September 30, 2010, compared to $74.8 million as of June 30, 2010. Loan commitments and other contingencies primarily consist of commitments to originate new loans as well as the outstanding unused portions of home equity, business and other lines of credit, and unused portions of construction loans.
6. Fair Value of Financial 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. |
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term investments approximate fair values.
Securities available for sale: The securities measured at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are government-sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities and common stocks. The fair values used by the Company are obtained from an independent pricing service, which 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. These values are not adjusted by the Company.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock: The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates fair value based upon the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.
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 analyses, 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 analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable. In the ordinary course of business, the Company sells residential real estate loans in the secondary market.
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.
Deposits: The fair values for non-certificate accounts are, by definition, equal to the amounts 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 of time deposits.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase: The carrying amount of repurchase agreements approximates fair value based on the short duration of the agreements
Short-term borrowings: For short-term borrowings maturing within ninety days, carrying values approximate fair values. Fair values of other short-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current incremental borrowing rates in the market for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Long-term debt: The fair values of the Company's advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company's current incremental 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, 2010 and June 30, 2010 was not material.
The Company does not measure any liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis.

Also, the Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets on a non-recurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“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 fair value hierarchy used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets as of September 30, 2010.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010 or 2009 there were no transfers from 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 amount expected to be received from the sale of the property, net of selling costs, as determined by an independent, licensed or certified appraiser using observable market data. 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. The resulting loss was recognized in earnings through the provision for loan loss.
The Company classifies property acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure as other real estate owned (“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 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 amo unts presented herein may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.
The estimated fair values, and related carrying or notional amounts, of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

At September 30, 2010, fourteen debt securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 2.6% 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 or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analyst's reports. Because the majority of these securities have been issued by the Federal government or its agencies and 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, 2010, we held ten securities issued by private mortgage originators that had an amortized cost of $8.3 million and a fair value of $8.4 million . 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. The majority of the decrease in the fair value of these securities is attributed to changes in market interest rates. 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 determines whether other-than-temporary impairment existed. Management has determined that no other-than-temporary impairment existed as of September 30, 2010. We will continue to evaluate these securities for other-than-temporary impairment, which could result in a future non-cash charge to earnings.
At September 30, 2010, nine marketable equity securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 30.7% from the Company's cost basis. The majority of these unrealized losses relate principally to the banking, retail, healthcare, and insurance industries. In analyzing the issuer's financial condition, management considers industry analysts’ reports and financial performance. Because management has the intent and ability to hold equity securities for a reasonable period for recovery, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.
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 were no impairment charges related to OTTI securities for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009.
Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (unaudited)
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, 2010 and June 30, 2010 and our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 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 document.
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 co uld have a material adverse affect on the operations 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, adverse changes in the securities markets, inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to Hampden Bank, changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines and our ability to successfully implement our branch expansion strategy. 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 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,” Part II, Item 1A –“Risk Factors” 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, 2010. 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 m ay 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.

Critical Estimates. One of the significant estimates related to available for sale securities is the evaluation of investments for other-than-temporary impairment. If a decline in the fair value of an equity security is judged to be other-than-temporary, a charge is recorded equal to the difference between the fair value and cost or amortized cost basis of the security. Following such write-down in value, the fair value of the other-than-temporarily impaired investment becomes its new cost basis.
In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses for equity securities, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. For those debt securities for which (1) the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost, (2) the Company does not intend to sell such security and (3) it is likely that it will not be required to sell such security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis less any credit losses, GAAP requires that the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment losses be recognized in earnings while t he noncredit component is recognized in other comprehensive loss, net of related taxes. For all impaired debt securities that the Company intends to sell, or more likely than not will be required to sell, the full amount of the depreciation in value is recognized in earnings.
Judgment and Uncertainties. The evaluation of securities for impairment is a quantitative and qualitative process, which is subject to risks and uncertainties and is intended to determine whether declines in the fair value of investments should be recognized in current period earnings. The risks and uncertainties include changes in general economic conditions, the issuer’s financial condition or future prospects, the effects of changes in interest rates or credit spreads and the expected recovery period. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation.
Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. If actual results are not consistent with management’s estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to a other-than-temporary impairment loss that could be material and could have a negative impact on the company’s earnings.
Allowance for loan losses
Critical Estimates. The allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered necessary to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses that is charged against income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, we make significant estimates and therefore, have identified the allowance as a critical accounting policy. The methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy by management because of the high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions used, and the potential for changes in the economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded allowance for loan losses.
The allowance for loan losses has been determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, under which we are required to maintain an allowance for probable losses at the balance sheet date. We are responsible for the timely and periodic determination of the amount of the allowance required. We believe that our allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover specifically identifiable losses, as well as estimated losses inherent in our portfolio for which certain losses are probable but not specifically identifiable.
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. Specific allocations are made for loans determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. The general allocation is determined by segregating the remaining loans, by type of loan and payment history. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, changes in our underwriting standards as well as in lending policies, procedures and practices, experience and depth of management and lending staff, and general economic conditions. This analysis establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to d etermine 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 we have established which could have a material negative effect on our financial results.
On a quarterly basis, management’s Loan Review 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 are analyzed to determine their potential risk of loss. This process concentrates on non-accrual and classified loans. Any loan determined to be impaired is evaluated for potential loss exposure. Any shortfall results in a recommendation of a specific allowance if the likelihood of loss is evaluated as probable. 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 results of this quarterly process are summarized by, and appropriate recommendations and loan loss allowances are approved by, the Loan Review Committee. All supporting documentation with regard to the evaluation process, loan loss experience, allowance levels and the schedules of classified loans is maintained by the Company. The Committee is chaired by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The allowance for loan loss calculation is presented to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis with recommendations on its adequacy.
Judgment and Uncertainties. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses by analyzing and estimating losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance for loan losses contains uncertainties because the calculation requires management to use historical information as well as current economic data to make judgments on the adequacy of the allowance. This evaluation requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
Our primary lending emphasis has been the origination and purchase of residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate mortgages and commercial and industrial credits. We also originate home equity loans and home equity lines of credit. As a local community bank within a small footprint, these activities result in a loan concentration in mortgages secured by real property located in Western Massachusetts. Based on the composition of our loan portfolio, we believe the primary risks to loan losses are increases in interest rates, a decline in the general economy, and a decline in real estate market values and values of local businesses in Western Massachusetts. Any one or combination of these events may adversely affect our loan portfolio resulting in increased delinquencies, loan losses and future levels of loan loss provisions. As a substantial amount of our loan portfolio is collater alized by real estate, appraisals of the underlying value of property securing loans are critical in determining the amount of the allowance required for specific loans. Assumptions for appraisal valuations are instrumental in determining the value of properties. Overly optimistic assumptions or negative changes to assumptions could significantly impact the valuation of a property securing a loan and the related allowance determined. The assumptions supporting such appraisals are carefully reviewed by the Company to determine that the resulting values reasonably reflect amounts realizable on the related loans.
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 continues or 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 and the Massachusetts Department of Banking, 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. Quarterly, management reviews the deferred tax asset to identify any uncertainties to the collectability of the components of the deferred tax asset.
Judgment and Uncertainties. In determining the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, we use historical and forecasted operating results, based upon approved business plans, including a review of the eligible carry forward periods, tax planning opportunities and other relevant considerations. 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, and adjustment to our deferred tax assets valuation allowance would be charged to income tax expense in the period such determination was made and could 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.

Commercial real estate loans decreased $2.2 million or 1.6%, to $136.5 million, residential mortgage loans decreased $6.5 million or 5.0%, to $124.45 million, and home equity loans decreased $842,000 or 1.3%, to $64.2 million at September 30, 2010 as compared to June 30, 2010. Commercial loans decreased $8.3 million or 19.5%, to $34.3 million, and consumer loans decreased $641,000 or 2.5%, to $24.6 million at September 30, 2010 as compared to June 30, 2010. The decrease in commercial loans was primarily related to the payoff of one loan that had a balance of $6.7 million. A partial offset to these decreases was an increase in construction loans of $2.2 million, or 16.8%, to $15.7 million as of September 30, 2010 as compared to June 30, 2010. The decrease in commercial real estate loans, home equity loans and consumer loans is due to a decrease in loan demand. The increase in construction loans is due two new non-speculative loans which will be financed by the Company at the end of the construction period and scheduled advances on existing 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 loan amount outstanding for providing these services. Loans which the Company originates that have a higher risk profile or are outside of our normal underwriting standards are sold to a third party along with the servicing rights. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, loans sold totaled $6.8 million. Of the $6.8 million sold, $2.0 million were sold on a servicing released basis, and $4.8 million were sold on a servicing retained basis.

Non-performing loans to total loans | | | 2.36 | % | | | 1.37 | % |
Non-performing assets to total assets | | | 1.74 | % | | | 1.13 | % |
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. Non-performing assets totaled $10.0 million, or 1.74% of total assets, at September 30, 2010 compared to $6.6 million, or 1.13% of total assets, at June 30, 2010. There was an increase of $2.8 million in commercial mortgage loans and an increase of $862,000 in commercial loans which is primarily due to two loan relationships which totaled $4.4 million. Home equity and consumer loan non-accruals increased $150,000 and residential mortgage loans decreased $33,000. At September 30, 2010 the Company had twelve troubled debt restructurings (loans for which a portion of interest or principal has been forgiven, or the loans have been modified to lower the interest rate or extend the original term) totaling approximately $5.6 million, of which $694,000 is on non-accrual status. The interest income recorded from these loans amounted to approximately $86,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, respectively. At June 30, 2010, the Company had ten troubled debt resturctings consisting of commercial and mortgage loans totaling approximately $5.5 million, of which $712,000 is on non-accrual status. The interest income recorded from the restructured loans amounted to approximately $264,000 for the year ended June 30, 2010.
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 nature of collateral, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. 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 if the loan is collateral dependent. Impaired loans increased to $18.1 million at September 30, 2010 from $ 16.2 million at June 30, 2010 as a result of the continuing economic downturn in the greater Springfield Area, and current financial informa tion received from borrowers. The Company established specific reserves aggregating $1.4 million and $1.3 million for impaired loans at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Such reserves relate to eighteen impaired loans with a carrying value of $10.5 million, and are based on management’s analysis of estimated underlying collateral values or the expected cash flows and includes $230,000 related to troubled debt restructurings.
We believe that the determination of our allowance for loan losses, including amounts required for impaired loans, is consistent with generally accepted accounting principles and current regulatory guidance. However, it is possible that regulators may make different judgments. It is also possible that, in this current economic environment, additional loans will become impaired in future periods.
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.
The Company classifies property acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure as other real estate owned (“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, 2010, the Company had four properties with a carrying value of $550,000 classified as OREO. One of these properties was a commercial real estate property valued at $205,000, and one property was a commercial construction pro ject valued at $315,000. Two properties were manufactured home loans valued at $143,000, however, there is a specific reserve to loan losses of $113, 000 with respect to such loans.

Allowance for loan losses to total loans at end of period | | | 1.58 | % | | | 1.13 | % |
For the three months ended September 30, 2010, total charge-offs were $288,000. These charge-offs were primarily due to two commercial loan relationships. The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans has decreased from 93.10% at September 30, 2009 to 67.08% at September 30, 2010. The allowance for loan losses to total loans has increased from 1.13% at September 30, 2009 to 1.58% at September 30, 2010. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans and the increase in the allowance for loan losses to total loans is because of two commercial relationships totaling $4.1 million, which loans are the primary reason for the increase in non-performing loans.
Loan Servicing. In the ordinary course of business, the Company sells real estate loans to the secondary market. The Company retains servicing on loans sold and earns servicing fees of .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. Calculation of the fair value of mortgage servicing assets is based on Service Release Premium (“SRP”) rates for conforming fixed rate mortgages obtained from correspondent lenders. SRP rates vary based on the outstanding balances of the mortgages and are periodically adjusted based on mortgage prepayments and market conditions.
The changes in servicing assets measured using fair value are as follows:
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
| | (In Thousands) | |
Fair value at the beginning of year | | $ | 501 | | | $ | 656 | |
Capitalized servicing assets | | | 35 | | | | 34 | |
Changes in fair value | | | (55 | ) | | | (28 | ) |
Fair value at end of period | | $ | 481 | | | $ | 662 | |
The unpaid principal balance of mortgages services for others was $52.6 million and $48.95million at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. 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 three month periods ended September 30, 2010, and 2009 , amounts recognized for loans servicing fees amounted to $66,000, and $56,000, respectively, which are included in loan fees in the statement of operations.
Deposits and Borrowed Funds. The following table sets forth the Company’s deposit accounts (excluding escrow deposits) for the periods indicated.

Deposits decreased $5.2 million to $414.9 million at September 30, 2010 from $420.1 million at June 30, 2010. From June 30, 2010, certificates of deposit decreased $7.8 million or 3.6%, and savings deposits decreased $1.0 million or 1.2%. Demand deposits increased $1.7 million or 3.3%, NOW accounts increased $1.4 million or 4.8% and money market deposits increased $515,000 or 1.2%. The primary reason for the decrease in certificates of deposit was due to the payout of one certificate which totaled $6.7 million. This certificate was collateral for a commercial loan which has been paid off.
Borrowings include advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLB”), as well as securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and have decreased $5.1 million, or 7.9%, to $59.9 million at September 30, 2010 from $65.0 million at June 30, 2010.

Comparison of Operating Results (unaudited) for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009
Net Income. The Company had net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 of $543,000, or $0.08 per fully diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $162,000, or $(0.02) per fully diluted share, for the same period in 2009. For the three month period ended September 30, 2010, net interest income increased $244,000 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2009. For the three month period ended September 30, 2010, the provision for loan losses decreased $542,000 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. There was also an increase in non-interest income of $170,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in non-interest income was mainly due to the inc rease in gain on sales of loans which increased $154,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. Total non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $120,000 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2009. Decreases in net write down on sale of other real estate owned of $240,000, data processing services of $60,000 and advertising expense of $29,000 were offset by increases in other general and administrative expenses of $104,000, occupancy and equipment expense of $43,000 and salaries and employee benefits of $39,000.
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 upon the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them.
The following table sets 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.

Net interest income. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $4.5 million, an increase of $244,000 or 5.7%, over the same period of 2009. This was primarily due to a decrease in the average cost of deposits of 49 basis points to 1.53% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 over the same period in 2009.
Interest income. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $256,000, or 3.7%, to $6.7 million over the same period of 2009. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, average outstanding net loans increased $13.0 million, or 3.3%, from the average for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, average outstanding investment securities decreased $12.9 million or 10.7.0% from the average for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The average yield on interest earning assets decreased 14 basis points to 5.07% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to 5.21% for the same period in 2009.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $500,000, or 18.7%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in rates of deposits. The average cost of funds decreased to 1.81% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of 51 basis points from a cost of funds of 2.32% for the same period in 2009.
Provision for Loan Losses. The Company’s provision for loan loss expense was $300,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $842,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. As of September, 30, 2010, the Company’s total allowance for loan losses of $6.3 million remained relatively unchanged from June 30, 2010. This is because the Company charged-off loan balances totaling $288,000 during the three month period ended September 30, 2010. The allowance for loan losses was 1.58% of total loans as of September 30, 2010 compared to 1.13% of total loans as of September 30, 2009 as a result of increased allowance for loan loss and a decrease in gross loans outstanding.
Non-interest Income. Total non-interest income totaled $833,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $170,000 from the same period a year ago. This increase is primarily due to an increase in gain on sales of loans of $154,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period a year ago.
Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $120,000, or 2.8%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period for 2009. This decrease was largely due to a decrease in write down on the sale of other real estate owned of $240,000, a decrease in data processing services of $60,000 and a decrease in advertising expense of $29,000. These decreases were offset by increases in other general and administrative expense of $104,000, Occupancy and equipment expense of $43,000 and salary and employee benefit expense of $39,000.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased $371, 000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Our combined federal and state effective tax rate was 35.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 30.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements. As of September 30, 2010, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized Hampden Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

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, 2010, cash and cash equivalents totaled $39.7 million, or 6.9% of total assets.
The Company also relies on outside borrowings from the FHLB as an additional funding source. The Company uses FHLB borrowings to fund growth in the balance sheet and to assist in the management of its interest rate risk by match funding longer term fixed rate loans.
The Company uses it’s 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, 2010 and June 30, 2010.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
There have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk during the three months ended September 30, 2010. 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 year ended June 30, 2010 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.
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 ou r 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 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.
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.
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.
There have been no material changes in the Company’s risk factors during the three months ended September 30, 2010. See the discussion and analysis of risk factors, in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010.
