5. Loan Commitments
Outstanding loan commitments totaled $139.8 million, at September 30, 2013 and $155.6 million at June 30, 2013. Loan commitments 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 Assets and Liabilities
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:
| Level 1: | | Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available. | |
| | | |
| Level 2: | | Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | |
| | | |
| Level 3: | | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. | |
| Where assets or liabilities are measured at fair value, transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period, if applicable. |
| The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value measurements and disclosures for financial instruments: |
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and federal funds sold and other short-term investments approximate fair values.
Securities available for sale: 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 of Boston stock: The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock approximates fair value based upon the redemption provisions of the FHLB of Boston.
Loans held for sale: Fair value of loans held for sale is 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.
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 holder. The fair value of servicing rights is estimated using a discounted cash flow model. Discount rates, estimate of servicing costs and ancillary income, estimates of float earnings rates and delinquency information as well as an estimate of prepayments are used to calculate the value of the mortgage servicing asset. 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 slowdown, 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 and mortgagors’ escrow accounts: The fair values for non-certificate accounts and mortgagors’ escrow 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.
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, 2013 and June 30, 2013 was not material.
The Company does not measure any liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis.
The following tables present the balance of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013:

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”).
At September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, no marketable equity securities had unrealized losses.
At September 30, 2013, fifty-two 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 government sponsored enterprises, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analyst's reports. Because the majority of these securities have been issued by the U.S. Government or its government sponsored enterprises 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, 2013, we held nine securities issued by private mortgage originators that had unrealized losses which had an amortized cost of $906,000 and a fair value of $902,000. All of these investments are “Senior” Class tranches and have underlying credit enhancements. 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 credit losses have occurred. Management has determined that no credit losses have occurred as of September 30, 2013.

Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The analysis of the allowance for loan losses has two components: specific and general allocations, which are further described below.
Specific allocation
Specific allocations are made for loans determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or fair value of collateral for collateral dependent loans. The Company charges off any collateral shortfall on collaterally dependent impaired loans.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are generally placed on non-accrual status either when there is reasonable doubt as to the full collection of payments or when the loans become 90 days past due unless an evaluation clearly indicates that the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral, adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses, if the loan is collateral dependent.
The Company may periodically agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructure (“TDR”). All TDRs are initially classified as impaired and may be evaluated for removal from impaired status after one year of current payments for a modified loan with a market rate.
General allocation
The general allocation is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan and payment history. Consideration is given to historical loss experience and qualitative factors such as delinquency trends, changes in underwriting standards or lending policies, procedures and practices, experience and depth of management and lending staff, and general economic conditions. This analysis establishes loss factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general allocations. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revisions based upon changes in economic and real estate market conditions. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance for loan losses that have been established which could have a material negative effect on financial results. There were no changes in the Company’s policies or methodology pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses during the three months ended September 30, 2013.
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 with risk ratings of six or higher are analyzed to determine their potential risk of loss. This process concentrates on watch list, non-accrual and classified loans. Any loan determined to be impaired is evaluated for potential loss exposure. Any shortfall results in a charge-off if the likelihood of loss is evaluated as probable. The Company’s policy for charging off uncollectible loans is based on an analysis of the financial condition of the borrower and/or the collateral value. To determine the adequacy of collateral on a particular loan, an estimate of the fair market value of the collateral is based on the most current appraised value, discounted cash flow valuation or other available information.
The qualitative factors are assessed based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:
Residential real estate – The Company generally does not originate loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80 percent unless there is private mortgage insurance. All loans in this segment are collateralized by 1-4 family residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.
Commercial real estate – Loans in this segment are primarily income-producing properties throughout Massachusetts and Connecticut. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties can be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by increased vacancy rates, which in turn, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Management requires annual borrower financial statements, obtains rent rolls annually and continually monitors the cash flows of these loans.
Home equity loans - Loans in this segment are secured by first or second mortgages on 1-4 family owner occupied properties, and are generally underwritten in amounts such that the combined first and second mortgage balances generally do not exceed 85% of the value of the property serving as collateral at time of origination. The lines-of-credit are available to be drawn upon for 10 to 20 years, at the end of which time they become term loans amortized over 5 to 10 years. Interest rates on home equity lines normally adjust based on the month-end prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal.
Residential construction loans – Loans in this segment primarily include construction to permanent non-speculative real estate loans. All loans in this segment are collateralized by 1-4 family residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.
Commercial construction loans – Loans in this segment primarily include construction to permanent non-speculative real estate loans. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties may be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy, which in turn, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.
Commercial loans – Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by assets of the business. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. A weakened economy may have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.
Automobile and other secured loans – Loans in this segment include consumer non-real estate secured loans that the Company originates as well as automobile loans that the Company purchases from a third party. The Company has the ability to select the automobile loans it purchases based on its own underwriting standards.
Manufactured home loans – Loans in this segment are secured by first liens on properties located primarily in the Northeast. Repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. The Company has the ability to select the manufactured home loans it purchases based on its own underwriting standards.
Other consumer loans – Loans in this segment are generally unsecured and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.
Credit Quality Information
The Company utilizes a nine grade internal loan rating system for all loans as follows:
Loans rated 1 – 5 are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.
Loans rated 6 are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.
Loans rated 7 are considered “substandard.” Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged. There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected.
Loans rated 8 are considered “doubtful” and have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans rated 9 are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted. These loans are generally charged off at each quarter end.
On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial real estate, commercial construction and commercial loans. The Company engages an independent third-party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process. All credits rated 6 or worse are reviewed on a quarterly basis by management and semi-annually a statistically significant percentage is reviewed by a third party. At origination, management assigns risk ratings to 1-4 family residential loans, home equity loans, residential construction loans, manufactured home loans, and other consumer loans. The Company updates these risk ratings as needed based primarily on delinquency, bankruptcy, or tax delinquency.
The following table presents the Company’s loans by risk rating at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013:

The results of the quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses 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 Loan Review 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.

At September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013 there were no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing.
The Company has transferred a portion of its originated commercial real estate and commercial loans to participating lenders. The amounts transferred have been accounted for as sales and are therefore not included in the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company and participating lenders share ratably in any gains or losses that may result from a borrower’s lack of compliance with contractual terms of the loan. The Company continues to service the loans on behalf of the participating lenders and, as such, collects cash payments from the borrowers, remits payments (net of servicing fees) to participating lenders and disburses required escrow funds to relevant parties. At September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the Company was servicing loans for participants aggregating $35.5 million and $35.0 million, respectively.
Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This section is intended to help investors understand the financial performance of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, through a discussion of the factors affecting our financial condition at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013 and our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Forward-Looking Statements

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” 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, 2013, including the section titled Item 1A –“Risk Factors”. You should carefully review those factors and also carefully review the risks outlined in other documents that the Company files from time to time with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
Critical Accounting Policies
We consider accounting policies that require management to exercise significant judgment or discretion, or make significant assumptions that have or could have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, or related disclosures, to be critical accounting policies.
Management believes that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our Board.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Critical Estimates. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The analysis of the allowance for loan losses has two components: specific and general allocations, which are described on pages 17-18.
Judgment and Uncertainties. The qualitative factors are assessed based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are described on page 18.
Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. Although we believe we have established and maintained the allowance for loan losses at adequate levels, additions may be necessary if the current operating environment deteriorates. Management uses the best information available; however, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and short-term change. In addition, the FDIC and the Massachusetts Division of Banks, as an integral part of their examination process, will periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.
Income Taxes
Critical Estimates. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. Management reviews the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis to identify any uncertainties to the collectability of the components of the deferred tax asset.
Judgment and Uncertainties. In determining the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, we use historical and forecasted operating results, based upon approved business plans, including a review of the eligible carryforward periods, tax planning opportunities and other relevant considerations. Management believes that the accounting estimate related to the valuation allowance is a critical accounting estimate because the underlying assumptions can change from period to period. For example, tax law changes or variances in future projected operating performance could result in a change in the valuation allowance.
Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. Should actual factors and conditions differ materially from those used by management, the actual realization of net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities could differ materially from the amounts recorded in the financial statements. If we were not able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to our deferred tax assets valuation allowance would be charged to income tax expense in the period such determination was made and would have a negative impact on the Company’s earnings. In addition, if actual factors and conditions differ materially from those used by management, the Company could incur penalties and interest imposed by the Internal Revenue Service.
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013
Overview
Total Assets. The Company’s total assets increased $43.2 million, or 6.6%, from $653.0 million at June 30, 2013 to $696.2 million at September 30, 2013. Net loans, including loans held for sale, increased $30.5 million, or 6.8%, from $451.6 million at June 30, 2013 to $482.1 million at September 30, 2013. Securities available for sale increased $382,000, or 0.3%, to $139.1 million and cash and cash equivalents increased $10.1 million, or 39.3%, to $35.7 million at September 30, 2013. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was due to an increase in federal funds sold and short term investments.
Investment Activities. The composition and fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio is included in Note 7 to the Company’s accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Securities available for sale increased $382,000 to $139.1 million at September 30, 2013. Current period purchases of municipal bonds were partially offset by the unrealized losses of residential mortgage backed securities during the three months ended September 30, 2013.
Net Loans. The composition of the Company’s loan portfolio is included in Note 8 to the Company’s accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. The increases in commercial real estate, commercial, and commercial construction loans were due to the Company’s increased emphasis on obtaining commercial lending relationships. There was a $2.5 million increase in automobile and other secured loans due to the purchase of automobile loans and $1.0 million increase in manufactured homes during the three months ended September 30, 2013.
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 to the standards of the buyer, which may differ from the Company’s underwriting standards, are generally sold to a third party along with the servicing rights without recourse. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, loans sold totaled $7.1 million. Of the $7.1 million of loans sold, $3.1 million were sold on a servicing-released basis, and $4.0 million were sold on a servicing-retained basis.
Non-Performing Assets. The following table sets forth the amounts of our non-performing assets at the dates indicated. The categories of our non-performing loans are included in Note 8 to the Company’s accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status either when reasonable doubt exists as to the full collection of interest and principal or when a loan becomes 90 days past due, unless an evaluation clearly indicates that the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loans. From June 30, 2013 to September 30, 2013, commercial non-performing loans have decreased $3,000; residential mortgage non-performing loans have decreased $333,000; consumer, including home equity and manufactured homes, non-performing loans have decreased $19,000; and commercial real estate non-performing loans have decreased $5,000. At September 30, 2013, the Company had fifteen troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) totaling approximately $6.9 million, of which $388,000 is on non-accrual status. All loans that are modified and a concession granted by the Company in light of the borrower’s financial difficulty are considered a TDR and are classified as impaired loans by the Company. The interest income recorded from these loans amounted to $201,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2013. At June 30, 2013, the Company had sixteen TDRs consisting of commercial and mortgage loans totaling approximately $7.8 million, of which $580,000 was on non-accrual status. The interest income recorded from the restructured loans amounted to $239,000 for the year ended June 30, 2013.
As of September 30, 2013, loans on non-accrual status totaled $3.6 million which consisted of $2.9 million in loans that were 90 days or greater past due, $539,000 in loans that are current or less than 30 days past due and $180,000 in loans that are 30-89 days past due. It is the Company’s policy to keep loans on non-accrual status subsequent to becoming current until the borrower can demonstrate their ability to make payments according to their loan terms for six months. As of September 30, 2013, commercial non-accrual loans less than 90 days past due were $144,000, 1-4 family residential non-accrual loans less than 90 days past due were $509,000, and home equity second lien non-accrual loans less than 90 days past due were $67,000. All non-accrual loans, TDRs, and loans with risk ratings of six or higher are assessed by the Company for impairment.
In the normal course of business, the Company may modify a loan for a credit-worthy borrower where the modified loan is not considered a TDR. In these cases, the modified terms are consistent with loan terms available to credit worthy borrowers and within normal loan pricing. The modifications to such loans are done according to our existing underwriting standards. These modified loans are not considered impaired loans by the Company.
Non-accrual loans, including TDRs, return to accrual status once the borrower has shown the ability and an acceptable history of repayment. The borrower must be current with their payments in accordance with the loan terms for six months. The Company may also return a loan to accrual status if the borrower evidences sufficient cash flow to service the debt and provides additional collateral to support the collectability of the loan. For non-accrual loans that make payments, the Company recognizes cash interest payments as interest income when the Company does not have a collateral shortfall for the loan and the loan has not been charged off. If there is a collateral shortfall for the loan or it has been charged off, then the Company applies the entire payment to the principal balance on the loan.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, the collateral, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent and any change in present value is recorded within the provision for loan loss. Impaired loans decreased to $13.6 million at September 30, 2013 from $ 15.0 million at June 30, 2013. The Company established specific reserves aggregating $28,000 and $32,000 for impaired loans at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Such reserves relate to four impaired loan relationships with a carrying value of $2.7 million, and are based on management’s analysis of the expected cash flows for troubled debt restructurings as of September 30, 2013.
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. While the Company believes that it has established adequate specifically allocated and general allowances for losses on loans, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if future conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the evaluations. In addition, as an integral part of their examination process, the Company’s regulators periodically review the allowance for loan losses. These regulatory agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination, thereby negatively affecting the Company’s financial condition and earnings. It is also possible that, in this current economic environment, additional loans will become impaired in future periods.
The Company classifies property acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure as OREO in its consolidated financial statements. When property is placed into OREO, it is recorded at the fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure or acceptance of deed in lieu of foreclosure. At the time of transfer to OREO, any excess of carrying value over fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Management, or its designee, inspects all OREO property periodically. Holding costs and declines in fair value result in charges to expense after the property is acquired. At September 30, 2013, the Company had ten properties with a carrying value of $1.2 million classified as OREO. Three of these properties were commercial properties valued at $829,000, one property was a residential property valued at $218,000, and six properties were manufactured homes valued at $158,000 in aggregate.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The following table sets forth the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated. The activity in the Company’s allowance for loan losses is included in Note 8 to the Company’s accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for loan losses to total loans at end of period | | | 1.13 | % | | | 1.22 | % |
It is the Company’s policy to classify all non-accrual loans as impaired loans. All impaired loans are measured on a loan-by-loan basis to determine if any specific allowance is required for the allowance for loan loss by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the impaired loan has a shortfall in the expected future cash flows then a specific allowance will be placed on the loan in that amount. However, the Company may consider collateral values where it feels there is greater risk and the expected future cash flow allowance is not sufficient. Residential, commercial real estate and construction loans are secured by real estate. Except for one, all commercial loans are secured by all business assets and many also include primary or secondary mortgage positions on business and/or personal real estate. The other commercial loan is secured by shares of stock of a subsidiary to a borrower.
When calculating the general allowance component of the allowance for loan losses, the Company analyzes the trend in delinquencies, among other things as further described in Note 8 to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. If there is an increase in the amount of delinquent loans in a particular loan category this may cause the Company to increase the general allowance requirement for that loan category. A partial charge-off on a non-performing loan will decrease the amount of non-performing and impaired loans, as well as any specific allowance requirement that loan may have had. This will also decrease our allowance for loan losses, as well as our allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans ratio and our allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio. The Company incorporates historical charge-offs, including the greater of charge-offs recognized in the current quarter, which are annualized, or projected annual charge-offs when calculating the general allowance component of the allowance for loan losses.
Loan Servicing. In the ordinary course of business, the Company sells real estate loans to the secondary market. The Company retains servicing on certain loans sold and earns servicing fees of 0.25% per annum based on the monthly outstanding balance of the loans serviced. The Company recognizes servicing assets each time it undertakes an obligation to service loans sold. The Company’s mortgage servicing asset valuation is performed on a quarterly basis by an independent third party, using a statistic valuation model representing the projection into the future of a single interest rate/market environment. The projected cash flows are then discounted back to present value. Discount rates, estimate of servicing costs and ancillary income, estimates of float earnings rates and delinquency information as well as an estimate of prepayments are used to calculate the value of the mortgage servicing asset. As of September 30, 2013, the change in the fair market value of mortgage servicing assets was $170,000.
The changes in servicing assets measured using fair value are on page 12. 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, 2013 and 2012, amounts recognized for loan servicing fees amounted to $107,000 and $85,000, respectively, which are included in other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of net income. The unpaid principal balance of mortgages serviced for others was $69.1 million and $67.7 million at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively.
Deposits and Borrowed Funds. The following table sets forth the Company’s deposit accounts (excluding escrow deposits) for the periods indicated.

Deposits increased $10.9 million, or 2.3%, to $485.7 million at September 30, 2013 from $474.8 million at June 30, 2013. The increase in deposits is due to the Company’s increased focus on obtaining core deposits.
Borrowings include advances from the FHLB and have increased $33.3 million, or 27.7%, to $120.3 million at September 30, 2013 from $87.0 million at June 30, 2013. The Company used these FHLB borrowings to fund some of its loan demand.
Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $324,000, or 0.4%, to $84.0 million at September 30, 2013 from $83.7 million at June 30, 2013. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company repurchased 17,622 shares of Company stock for $270,000 at an average price of $15.30 per share pursuant to the Company’s previously announced stock repurchase programs. In addition, the Company repurchased 260 shares of Company stock, at an average price of $15.52 per share, in the three months ended September 30, 2013 in connection with the vesting of certain restricted stock grants issued pursuant to our 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company repurchased these shares from the employee plan participant for settlement of tax withholding obligations upon vesting of the restricted stock. A partial offset to the increase in treasury stock was a $890,000 million increase in retained earnings, a $235,000 increase in additional paid in capital, a $106,000 decrease in ESOP unearned compensation and a $2,000 decrease in equity incentive plan unearned compensation. Our ratio of capital to total assets decreased to 12.1% at September 30, 2013 compared to 12.8% at June 30, 2013. The Company’s book value per share as of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013 was $14.86.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012
Net Income. The Company had a $446,000 increase in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $1.2 million, or $0.22 per fully diluted share, as compared to $761,000, or $0.14 per fully diluted share, for the same period in 2012. The Company had an increase in net interest income of $87,000, or 1.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 due to a decrease in total interest expense of $147,000 or 10.4%, offset by a decrease in the net interest margin from 3.32% to 3.10%. The provision for loan losses increased $50,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to the increase in loan growth. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 there was an increase in total non-interest income of $137,000 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. Non-interest expense decreased $459,000, or 10.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. Our combined federal and state effective tax rate was 36.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 39.3% for the same period in 2012.
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 costs, 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.

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major categories of the Company’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Information is provided for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (i.e., changes in average balances multiplied by the prior-period average rate) and (ii) changes attributable to rate (i.e., changes in average rate multiplied by prior-period average balances). The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 decreased $60,000, or 1.0%, to $6.1 million over the same period of 2012, primarily as a result of the average yield on interest-earning assets decreasing 40 basis points to 3.90% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 4.30% for the same period in 2012 reflective of the current interest environment. This decrease was offset by an increase in average outstanding loans of $50.2 million, or 12.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from the average for the three month period ended September 30, 2012.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $147,000, or 10.4%, to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily caused by a decrease in deposit interest expense of $157,000 due to a decrease in rates, which was partially offset by an increase in borrowing interest expense of $10,000 due to an increase in balances, offset by a decline in rates. The average cost of funds decreased to 0.99% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of 23 basis points from a cost of funds of 1.22% for the same period in 2012. The decrease in the cost of funds is partially due to the current low interest rate environment.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $4.9 million, an increase of $87,000 or 1.8%, over the same period of 2012. This was primarily due to a $147,000 decrease in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 and a decrease in interest income of $60,000 for the three months September 30, 2013 over the same period in 2012.
Provision for Loan Losses. The Company’s provision for loan loss expense was $100,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $50,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in the provision was due to an increase in the general reserve resulting from an increase in loan growth. As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s total allowance for loan losses of $5.5 million increased compared to June 30, 2013. The allowance for loan losses decreased to 1.13% of total loans as of September 30, 2013 compared to 1.22% of total loans as of September 30, 2012 due to a decrease in delinquent and impaired loans as well as an overall improvement in the economy. In comparing September 30, 2013 to June 30, 2013, delinquent, impaired and non-accrual loans have decreased and there was a decrease in charge offs. The allowance for loan losses covers 151.3% of our non-performing loans at September 30, 2013, 136.1% at June 30, 2013 due to a decrease in non-performing loans of $360,000 between periods compared to 184.12% at September 30, 2012 due to an increase of $810,000 in non-performing loans.
Non-interest Income. Total non-interest income was $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $137,000 or 14.2% from the same period a year ago. There were increases in customer service fees of $54,000 or 10.5%, other non-interest income of $195,000 or 161.2% and a decrease in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance of $4,000 or 3.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. There was a decrease on the gain on sales of loans, net of $109,000 or 55.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period a year ago. The increase in other non-interest income was primarily due to an increase in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights due to a decrease in estimated future prepayments.
Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $459,000, or 10.3%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period for 2012. There was a decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $259,000, a decrease in other general and administrative expenses of $206,000, a decrease in data processing services of $37,000, and a $5,000 decrease in advertising for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease in these expenses was partially offset by an increase in FDIC insurance and assessment expenses of $17,000 and an increase in occupancy and equipment of $15,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period for 2012. There was a net loss on other real estate owned of $4,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to a net gain of $12,000 for the same period in 2012.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased $187,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period for 2012. Our combined federal and state effective tax rate was 36.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 39.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements. As of September 30, 2013, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized Hampden Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes has changed Hampden Bank’s category.

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, prepayments and the maturity of 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, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $35.7 million, or 5.1% 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, 2013 and June 30, 2013.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks 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, 2013 for a general discussion of the qualitative aspects of market risk and discussion of the simulation model used by the Company to measure its interest rate risk.
The following table sets forth, as of September 30, 2013, the estimated changes in the Company's net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous and sustained changes in the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.
| Percentage Change in Estimated Net Interest Income over 12 months |
400 basis point increase in rates | -15.94% |
300 basis point increase in rates | -10.96% |
200 basis point increase in rates | -6.16% |
100 basis point increase in rates | -1.76% |
