WASHINGTON TRUST BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES | |
| |
General
Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. (the “Bancorp”) is a publicly-owned registered bank holding company and financial holding company. The Bancorp owns all of the outstanding common stock of The Washington Trust Company (the “Bank”), a Rhode Island chartered commercial bank founded in 1800. Through its subsidiaries, the Bancorp offers a complete product line of financial services to individuals and businesses including commercial, residential and consumer lending, retail and commercial deposit products, and wealth management services through its branch offices in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and southeastern Connecticut, ATMs, and its Internet web site (www.washtrust.com).
(1) Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bancorp and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Corporation” or “Washington Trust”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year classification. Such reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income or shareholders’ equity.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and to general practices of the banking industry. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to near-term change are the determination of the allowance for loan losses and tax estimates.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary to present fairly the Corporation’s financial position as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily reflective of the results of the entire year. The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Washington Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
In the Corporation’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, a $6.7 million deferred acquisition obligation payment was misclassified as a financing activity, in the line item “Net increase in other borrowings,” in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 has been corrected to properly report this first quarter payment as an investing activity, in the line item “Payment of deferred acquisition obligation.”
The following table presents the impact of the misclassification on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007:

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | |
(2) New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,” (“SFAS No. 155”). This Statement eliminates the exemption from applying SFAS No. 133 to interests in securitized financial assets so that similar instruments are accounted for similarly regardless of the form of the instruments. This Statement also allows a preparer to elect fair value measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized financial instrument is subject to a remeasurement event, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, in cases in which a derivative would otherwise have to be bifurcated. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Provisions of this Statement may be applied to instruments that an entity holds at the date of adoption on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Prior periods should not be restated. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” (“SFAS No. 156”). This Statement requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value. SFAS No. 156 permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. An entity that used derivative instruments to mitigate the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities is required to account for those derivative instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 156 did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Corporation adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures of fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to the accounting principles that currently use fair value measurement, and does not require any new fair value measurements. The expanded disclosures focus on the inputs used to measure fair value as well as the effect of the fair value measurements on earnings. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within that fiscal year. The Corporation believes the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans (an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R)” (“SFAS No. 158”). The recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158 were adopted by the Corporation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Upon adoption, the funded status of an employer’s postretirement benefit plan was recognized in the statement of financial position and the changes in funded status of the defined benefit plan, including actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs and credits were recognized in comprehensive income. The requirement to measure the plan’ assets and obligations as of the employers fiscal year end is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the measurement date provisions of SFAS No. 158 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities – Including an amendment to FASB No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). This Statement permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option (i) may be applied instrument-by-instrument with certain exceptions, (ii) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs) and

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | |
(iii) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Instruments.” Retrospective application is allowed for early adopters, prohibited for others. The choice to adopt early must be made within 120 days of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements. This Statement permits application to eligible items existing at the effective date (or early adoption date). The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Corporation believes the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

For those debt securities whose amortized cost exceeds fair value, the primary cause is related to the movement of interest rates. The Corporation believes that the nature and duration of impairment on its debt security holdings are primarily a function of interest rate movements and changes in investment spreads, and does not consider full repayment of principal on the reported debt obligations to be at risk. The Corporation has the ability and intent to hold these investments to full recovery of the cost basis. The debt securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2007 consisted of 223 debt security holdings. The largest loss percentage of any single holding was 6.28% of its amortized cost.
Causes of conditions whereby the fair value of corporate stock equity securities is less than cost include the timing of purchases and changes in valuation specific to individual industries or issuers. The relationship between the level of market interest rates and the dividend rates paid on individual equity securities may also be a contributing factor. The Corporation believes that the nature and duration of impairment on its equity securities holdings are considered to be a function of general financial market movements and industry conditions. The equity securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2007 consisted of 10 holdings of financial and commercial entities.

(7) Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 2007, the Corporation adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). The adoption of FIN 48 did not result in any adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2007.
As of the adoption date, the Corporation had gross tax affected unrecognized tax benefits of $1.2 million. If recognized, this amount would be recorded as a component of income tax expense. There have been no significant changes to this during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The Corporation recognizes potential accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of the adoption date of January 1, 2007, accrued interest amounted to
WASHINGTON TRUST BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES | (Continued) |
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | |
$70 thousand. To the extent interest is not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision. Penalties, if incurred, would be recognized as a component of income tax expense.
The Corporation files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Corporation is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2003. With a few exceptions, the Corporation is no longer subject to state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2000.
(8) Borrowings
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
Advances payable to the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) are summarized as follows:
(Dollars in thousands) | | June 30, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2007 | | | 2006 | |
FHLB advances | | $ | 468,827 | | | $ | 474,561 | |
During the first quarter of 2007, the Corporation prepaid $26.5 million in advances payable to the FHLB resulting in a debt prepayment penalty charge, recorded in noninterest expense, of $1.1 million. See additional discussion in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the caption “Noninterest Expense.”
In addition to outstanding advances, the Corporation also has access to an unused line of credit amounting to $8.0 million at June 30, 2007. Under an agreement with the FHLB, the Corporation is required to maintain qualified collateral, free and clear of liens, pledges, or encumbrances that, based on certain percentages of book and market values, has a value equal to the aggregate amount of the line of credit and outstanding advances (“FHLB borrowings”). The FHLB maintains a security interest in various assets of the Corporation including, but not limited to, residential mortgages loans, U.S. government or agency securities, U.S. government-sponsored agency securities, and amounts maintained on deposit at the FHLB. The Corporation maintained qualified collateral in excess of the amount required to collateralize the line of credit and outstanding advances at June 30, 2007. Included in the collateral were securities available for sale and held to maturity with a fair value of $403.0 million and $451.5 million that were specifically pledged to secure FHLB borrowings at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Unless there is an event of default under the agreement with the FHLB, the Corporation may use, encumber or dispose of any portion of the collateral in excess of the amount required to secure FHLB borrowings, except for that collateral that has been specifically pledged.

In the first quarter of 2007, securities sold under repurchase agreements of $19.5 million were executed. The securities sold under agreements to repurchase are callable at the issuer’s option, at one time only, in one year and mature in five years. The securities underlying the agreements are held in safekeeping by the counterparty in the name of the Corporation and are repurchased when the agreement matures. Accordingly, these underlying securities are included in securities available for sale and the obligations to repurchase such securities are reflected as a liability.

The Stock Purchase Agreement for the August 2005 acquisition of Weston Financial Group, Inc. (“Weston Financial”) provides for the payment of contingent purchase price amounts based on operating results in each of the years in the three-year earn-out period ending December 31, 2008. Contingent payments are added to goodwill and recorded as deferred acquisition liabilities at the time the payments are determinable beyond a reasonable doubt. Deferred acquisition obligations amounted to $3.8 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $10.4 million at December 31, 2006. In the first quarter of 2007 the Corporation paid approximately $6.7 million in earn-out payments.

(10) Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Derivative Financial Instruments
The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to manage the Corporation’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and commitments to originate and commitments to sell fixed rate mortgage loans. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Corporation has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and

conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The contractual and notional amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk are as follows:

Commitments to originate fixed rate mortgage loans to be sold | | | 3,544 | | | | 2,924 | |
Commitments to sell fixed rate mortgage loans | | | 7,498 | | | | 5,066 | |
Commitments to Extend Credit
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there are no violations of any conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each borrower’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.
Standby Letters of Credit
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Under the standby letters of credit, the Corporation is required to make payments to the beneficiary of the letters of credit upon request by the beneficiary contingent upon the customer’s failure to perform under the terms of the underlying contract with the beneficiary. Standby letters of credit extend up to five years. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments, not reduced by amounts that may be recovered, totaled $9.2 million and $9.4 million, respectively. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, there was no liability to beneficiaries resulting from standby letters of credit. Fee income on standby letters of credit for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 totaled $51 thousand and $58 thousand, respectively.
At June 30, 2007, a substantial portion of the standby letters of credit were supported by pledged collateral. The collateral obtained is determined based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Should the Corporation be required to make payments to the beneficiary, repayment from the customer to the Corporation is required.
Forward Loan Commitments
Commitments to originate and commitments to sell fixed rate mortgage loans are derivative financial instruments. Accordingly, the fair value of these commitments is recognized in other assets on the balance sheet and changes in fair value of such commitments are recorded in current earnings in the income statement. The carrying value of such commitments as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and the respective changes in fair values for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were insignificant.

Employer Contributions:
The Corporation previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 that it expected to contribute $1.3 million to its qualified pension plan and $369 thousand in benefit payments to its non-qualified retirement plans in 2007. During the six month period ended June 30, 2007, approximately $1.9 million of contributions were made to the qualified pension plan and no further contributions are expected for 2007. The increase in the qualified pension plan contribution over the amount estimated at December 31, 2006 was the result of further analysis by the Corporation and included an additional discretionary contribution in excess of statutory requirements. During the six month period ended June 30, 2007, $168 thousand in benefit payments have been made to the non-qualified retirement plans. The Corporation presently anticipates contributing an additional $167 thousand in benefit payments to the non-qualified retirement plans in 2007.

The Corporation is involved in various claims and legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business. Management is of the opinion, based on its review with counsel of the development of such matters to date, that the ultimate disposition of such matters will not materially affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Corporation.
With respect to the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries at June 30, 2007 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, KPMG LLP has made a review (based on the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)) and not an audit, set forth in their separate report dated August 3, 2007 appearing below.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc.:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Corporation) as of June 30, 2007, the related consolidated statements of income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 12, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains certain statements that may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The actual results, performance or achievements of the Corporation could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among other factors, changes in general national or regional economic conditions, changes in interest rates, reductions in the market value of wealth management assets under administration, reductions in loan demand, reductions in deposit levels necessitating increased borrowing to fund loans and investments, changes in loan default and charge-off rates, changes in the size and nature of the Corporation’s competition, changes in legislation or regulation and accounting principles, policies and guidelines, and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. The Corporation assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements or update the reasons actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those provided in the forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
Critical Accounting Policies
Accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and impact income are considered critical accounting policies. The Corporation’s accounting and reporting policies comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The financial position and results of operations can be affected by these estimates and assumptions, which are important in understanding the reported results. Management has discussed the development and the selection of critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of our board of directors. As discussed in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have identified the allowance for loan losses, accounting for acquisitions and review of goodwill and intangible assets for impairment, other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, defined benefit pension obligations, interest income recognition, and tax estimates as critical accounting policies. There have been no significant changes in the methods or assumptions used in the accounting policies that require material estimates and assumptions.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on loans and securities and interest paid on deposits and other borrowings, and continues to be the primary source of Washington Trust’s operating income. Net interest income is affected by the level of interest rates, changes in interest rates and changes in the amount and composition of interest-earnings assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Included in interest income are loan prepayment fees and certain other fees, such as late charges.
Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $371 thousand, or 2.4%, from the same period in 2006, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007, declined $916 thousand, or 3.0%, from the comparable period a year earlier. The decline in net interest income was due to the fact that rates paid on deposits and borrowings have risen faster than earning-asset yields and a higher rate of growth was experienced in higher cost deposit categories. In addition, the average balance of total interest-earnings assets have declined somewhat in 2007 compared to 2006.
The following discussion presents net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis by adjusting income and yields on tax–exempt loans and securities to be comparable to taxable loans and securities. For more information see the section entitled “Average Balances / Net Interest Margin - Fully Taxable Equivalent (FTE) Basis” below.
FTE net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 decreased $251 thousand, or 1.6%, from the second quarter of 2006, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007, declined $678 thousand, or 2.2%, from the same period a year earlier. The net interest margin (FTE net interest income as a percentage of average interest–earnings assets) for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was 2.75%, unchanged from the same period a year earlier. While the net interest margin was unchanged from the second quarter of 2006, in that quarter of last year, no dividend income was recognized nor included in net interest income on the Corporation’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”) stock due to a timing change made by the FHLBB in its dividend payment schedule. The Corporation estimated, at that time, that the loss of that dividend income negatively affected net interest income and net interest margin for the second quarter 2006 by approximately $450 thousand, or 8 basis points. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 2.78%, compared to 2.79% for the same period a year ago. Included in net interest income in 2007 was interest recovery of $322 thousand received in the first quarter on a previously charged off loan. This interest recovery accounted for 3 basis points of the net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Average interest-earning assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $41.4 million and $38.1 million, respectively, from the amounts reported for the same periods last year. This decrease was mainly due to reductions in the securities portfolio, offset in part by growth in the loan portfolio. Total average loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $55.9 million and $51.9 million, respectively, from the comparable 2006 periods. The yield on total loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 10 and 22 basis points, respectively, from the comparable 2006 periods. Loan prepayment and other fees included in interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 were $90 thousand and $192 thousand, respectively, compared to $326 thousand and $460 thousand for the same periods in 2006. Total average securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $97.3 million and $90.0 million, respectively. The relatively flat yield curve made reinvestment of maturing balances unattractive relative to funding costs during these periods. The FTE rate of return on securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007
increased 63 and 57 basis points from the comparable 2006 periods. The increase in the total yield on securities reflects a combination of higher yields on variable rate securities tied to short-term interest rates, sale or runoff of lower yielding securities and higher marginal rates on reinvestment of cash flows relative to the prior year. The Corporation continues to consider appropriate strategies to manage rising funding costs and more slowly increasing investment yields given the relatively flat yield curve.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, average interest-bearing liabilities declined $50.5 million and $38.9 million, respectively, from the amounts reported for the comparable periods last year. The Corporation experienced growth in money market and savings accounts and other borrowed funds, and declines in NOW accounts, time deposits and FHLB advances. The decline in time deposits resulted from decreases in average brokered certificates of deposit, which are utilized by the Corporation as part of its overall funding program along with FHLB advances and other sources. Average brokered certificates of deposit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $59.2 million and $51.1 million, respectively. The average rate paid on brokered certificates of deposit for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 was unchanged and increased 3 basis points, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2006. The average balance of FHLB advances for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $87.2 million and $83.6 million, respectively, while the average rate paid on FHLB advances increased 19 and 27 basis points, respectively, from the same periods a year ago.
Average Balances / Net Interest Margin - Fully Taxable Equivalent (FTE) Basis
The following tables present average balance and interest rate information. Tax-exempt income is converted to a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis using the statutory federal income tax rate. For dividends on corporate stocks, the 70% federal dividends received deduction is also used in the calculation of tax equivalency. Unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale securities are excluded from the average balance and yield calculations. Nonaccrual and renegotiated loans, as well as interest earned on these loans (to the extent recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income) are included in amounts presented for loans.

See additional discussion under the caption “Asset Quality” for further information on the Allowance for Loan Losses.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income is an important source of revenue for Washington Trust. Noninterest income as a percent of total revenues (net interest income plus noninterest income) increased from 42.9% in the second quarter of 2006 to 45.8% in the second quarter of 2007. Total noninterest income for the second quarter of 2007 increased $1.1 million, or 9.4%, from the same quarter a year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, total noninterest income increased $2.8 million, or 13.4%, from the comparable 2006 period.

Wealth management revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by 11.2% and 9.0%, respectively, over the same periods in 2006. Revenue from wealth management services is largely dependent on the value of assets under administration and is closely tied to the performance of the financial markets. Assets under administration totaled $3.948 billion at June 30, 2007, up $253.6 million, or 6.9%, in the first six months of 2007 and up $523.7 million, or 15.3%, from June 30, 2006. This growth was due to financial market appreciation and business development efforts. The following table presents the changes in wealth management assets under administration for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007:
(Dollars in thousands) | | Three Months | | | Six Months | |
| | | | | | |
Periods ended June 30, | | 2007 | | | 2007 | |

Balance at the end of period | | $ | 3,948,390 | | | $ | 3,948,390 | |
Merchant processing fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 10.4% and 12.2%, respectively, from the corresponding periods a year ago due to increases in the volume of transactions processed for existing and new customers. Merchant processing fees represent charges to merchants for credit card transactions processed.
Income from bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) increased $53 thousand and $165 thousand, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase was largely attributable to the purchase of an additional $8.0 million in BOLI during the second quarter of 2006.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, net gains on loan sales and commissions on loans originated for others increased $174 thousand and $162 thousand, respectively, due to increased sales of residential mortgage loans.
Net realized gains on sales of securities amounted to $705 thousand and $765 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These amounts included $397 thousand and $381 thousand of gains recognized in the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively, resulting from the Corporation’s annual contribution of appreciated equity securities to the Corporation’s charitable foundation. The cost of the annual contributions, included in noninterest expenses, amounted to $520 thousand and $513 thousand for the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, net realized securities gains of $195 thousand were recognized
in the second quarter of 2007 due to certain debt and equity securities that were called prior to maturity by the issuers. Also in the second quarter of 2007, $113 thousand of net realized gains were recognized on the sale of debt and equity securities. The year to date increase in net realized gains on securities was largely due to the common equity securities that were sold in the first quarter of 2007, resulting in the recognition of $1.0 million of net realized gains. See additional discussion on securities in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expenses amounted to $17.9 million for the second quarter of 2007, up $595 thousand, or 3.4%, from the same quarter a year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, noninterest expense totaled $35.0 million, up $2.0 million, or 6.1%. During the first quarter of 2007, the Corporation prepaid $26.5 million in higher cost advances from FHLBB, resulting in a debt prepayment penalty charge, recorded in noninterest expense, of $1.1 million. The source of funds for the paydowns was maturities of investments as well as other borrowings. Excluding debt prepayment penalty expense, noninterest expenses increased $933 thousand, or 2.8%, over the same six-month period last year.
The following table presents a noninterest expense comparison for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:

Salaries and employee benefit expense, the largest component of noninterest expense, totaled $10.3 million and $20.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, up $455 thousand and $648 thousand, respectively, from the same periods in 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and wages and performance-based compensation plans.
Merchant processing costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $151 thousand and $283 thousand from the comparable periods in 2006 due to increases in the volume of transactions processed for existing and new customers. Merchant processing costs represent third-party costs incurred that are directly attributable to handling merchant credit card transactions.
Advertising and promotion expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by 16% and 11%, respectively, from the same periods in 2006 due to timing of promotions.
Legal, audit and professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $75 thousand, or 9.6%, from the same period last year primarily due to increased consulting expenses.
Debt prepayment penalty expense, resulting from the first quarter 2007 prepayment of $26.5 million in higher cost advances from the FHLBB, amounted to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense amounted to $2.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $2.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively for the same periods in 2006. The Corporation’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was 31.4%, down slightly from
32.0% for the same periods in 2006. These rates differed from the federal rate of 35% due to the benefits of tax-exempt income, the dividends received deduction and income from BOLI.
Financial Condition
Summary
Total assets amounted to $2.396 billion at June 30, 2007, essentially unchanged from December 31, 2006. Total liabilities declined $3.4 million in the first half of 2007, with other borrowings increasing $12.9 million, total deposits decreasing $8.9 million, and FHLB advances decreasing $5.7 million. Shareholders’ equity totaled $173.6 million at June 30, 2007, compared to $173.1 million at December 31, 2006.
Securities
Washington Trust’s securities portfolio is managed to generate interest income, to implement interest rate risk management strategies, and to provide a readily available source of liquidity for balance sheet management. At June 30, 2007 the securities portfolio totaled $679.9 million, down $24.0 million from December 31, 2006 due to sales and maturities.
The net unrealized losses on securities available for sale and held to maturity amounted to $8.1 million at June 30, 2007, compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2006. The increase in unrealized losses in the first half of 2007 was primarily attributable to the effect an increase in the intermediate to long term rates had on the Corporation’s securities portfolio. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for detail of unrealized gains and losses on securities.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
The Corporation is required to maintain a level of investment in FHLB stock that currently is based on the level of its FHLB advances. As of June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Corporation’s investment in FHLB stock totaled $28.7 million.
Loans
Total loans increased by $29.2 million, or 2.0%, in the first half of 2007, including $35.6 million, or 6.1%, in commercial loan growth. Residential real estate loans declined by $5.3 million, or 0.9%, and consumer loans decreased by $1.1 million, or 0.4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Asset Quality
Allowance for Loan Losses
Establishing an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. The Corporation uses a methodology to systematically measure the amount of estimated loan loss exposure inherent in the loan portfolio for purposes of establishing a sufficient allowance for loan losses. For a more detailed discussion on the allowance for loan losses, see additional information in Item 7 under the caption “Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of Washington Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
The allowance for loan losses is management’s best estimate of the probable loan losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to earnings and by recoveries of amounts previously charged off, and is reduced by charge-offs on loans.
At June 30, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was $19.3 million, or 1.30% of total loans, and 651% of total nonaccrual loans. This compares with an allowance of $18.9 million, or 1.29% of total loans, and 694% of nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2006. Loan charge-offs, net of recoveries, amounted to $167 thousand and $38 thousand, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets are summarized in the following table:

Allowance for loan losses to total loans | | | 1.30 | % | | | 1.29 | % |
There were no accruing loans 90 days or more past due at June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006.
Impaired loans consist of all nonaccrual commercial loans. At June 30, 2007, the recorded investment in impaired loans was $2.0 million, which had a related allowance of $11 thousand. Also during the six months ended June 30, 2007, interest income recognized on impaired loans amounted to approximately $291 thousand. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized on a cash basis only.
The following is an analysis of nonaccrual loans by loan category:

Deposits
Deposits totaled $1.669 billion at June 30, 2007, down $8.9 million, or 0.5%, from December 31, 2006. Excluding a $16.3 million decrease in brokered certificates of deposit, in-market deposits were up $7.4 million, or 0.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Deposit gathering continues to be extremely competitive.
Demand deposits decreased $9.3 million, or 5.0%, from December 31, 2006. NOW account balances were down $764 thousand, or 0.4%, from the end of 2006. Savings deposits declined $9.9 million, or 4.8%, during the six months ended June 30, 2007. Money market account balances increased $3.0 million, or 1.1%, in the first half of 2007. Time deposits (including brokered certificates of deposit) were up $8.0 million, or 1.0%, during the first half of 2007. The Corporation utilizes brokered time deposits as part of its overall funding program along with other sources. Brokered time deposits decreased $16.3 million, or 9.3%, during the first six months of 2007 and amounted to $159.3 million at June 30, 2007. Excluding the brokered time deposits, time deposits rose $7.4 million, or 0.5%, during the six months ended June 30, 2007 due to growth in consumer and commercial certificates of deposit.
Borrowings
The Corporation utilizes advances from the FHLB as well as other borrowings as part of its overall funding strategy. FHLB advances are used to meet short-term liquidity needs, to purchase securities and to purchase loans from other institutions. FHLB advances declined $5.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on borrowings.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a financial institution to meet maturing liability obligations and customer loan demand. Washington Trust’s primary source of liquidity is deposits. Deposits (demand, NOW, money market, savings and time deposits) funded approximately 70% of total average assets in the first half of 2007. Other sources of funding include discretionary use of purchased liabilities (e.g., FHLB term advances and other borrowings), cash flows from the Corporation’s securities portfolios and loan repayments. In addition, securities designated as available for sale may be sold in response to short-term or long-term liquidity needs.
The Corporation’s Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) establishes and monitors internal liquidity measures to manage liquidity exposure. Liquidity remained well within target ranges established by the ALCO during the first half of 2007.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net cash used in financing activities amounted to $4.0 million. In the first quarter of 2007, $19.5 million in securities sold under repurchase agreements were executed and $26.5 million in FHLB advances were prepaid. See additional discussion on borrowings in the Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $19.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and was used primarily to fund loan growth. Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, and was generated primarily by net income. See the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for further information about sources and uses of cash. See additional discussion in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the reclassification of the first quarter 2007 deferred acquisition obligation payment in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Total shareholders’ equity amounted to $173.6 million at June 30, 2007, down $550 thousand since December 31, 2006. The increase in retained earnings reflected the Corporations net income of $12.3 million, and was offset in part by dividends declared of $5.3 million. The dividend represented a $0.20 per share dividend, an increase from the $0.19 per share rate paid throughout 2006, making 2007 the fifteenth consecutive year with a dividend increase. Under the Corporation’s 2006 Stock Repurchase Plan, 149,700 shares were repurchased at a total cost of $3.9 million during the first half of 2007.
The ratio of total equity to total assets amounted to 7.2% at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Book value per share as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 amounted to $13.05 and $12.89, respectively. The tangible book value per share was $8.79 at June 30, 2007, compared to $8.61 at the end of 2006.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Washington Trust engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on the consolidated financial condition.
Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk
The ALCO is responsible for establishing policy guidelines on liquidity and acceptable exposure to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk of loss to future earnings due to changes in interest rates. The objective of the ALCO is to manage assets and funding sources to produce results that are consistent with Washington Trust’s liquidity, capital adequacy, growth, risk and profitability goals.
The ALCO manages the Corporation’s interest rate risk using income simulation to measure interest rate risk inherent in the Corporation’s on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet financial instruments at a given point in time by showing the effect of interest rate shifts on net interest income over a 12-month horizon, the month 13 to month 24 horizon and a 60-month horizon. The simulations assume that the size and general composition of the Corporation’s balance sheet remain static over the simulation horizons and take into account the specific repricing, maturity, call options, and prepayment characteristics of differing financial instruments that may vary under different interest rate scenarios. The characteristics of financial instrument classes are reviewed periodically by the ALCO to ensure their accuracy and consistency.
The ALCO reviews simulation results to determine whether the Corporation’s exposure to a decline in net interest income remains within established tolerance levels over the simulation horizons and to develop appropriate strategies to manage this exposure. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, net interest income simulations indicated that exposure to changing interest rates over the simulation horizons remained within tolerance levels established by the Corporation. The Corporation defines maximum unfavorable net interest income exposure to be a change of no more than 5% in net interest income over the first 12 months, no more than 10% over the second 12 months, and no more than 10% over the full 60-month simulation horizon. All changes are measured in comparison to the projected net interest income that would result from an “unchanged” rate scenario where both interest rates and the composition of the Corporation’s balance sheet remain stable for a 60-month period. In addition to measuring the change in net interest income as compared to an unchanged interest rate scenario, the ALCO also measures the trend of both net interest income and net interest margin over a 60-month horizon to ensure the stability and adequacy of this source of earnings in different interest rate scenarios.
The ALCO reviews a variety of interest rate shift scenario results to evaluate interest risk exposure, including scenarios showing the effect of steepening or flattening changes in the yield curve shape as well as parallel changes in interest rates. Because income simulations assume that the Corporation’s balance sheet will remain static over the simulation horizon, the results do not reflect adjustments in strategy that the ALCO could implement in response to rate shifts.
The following table sets forth the estimated change in net interest income from an unchanged interest rate scenario over the periods indicated for parallel changes in market interest rates using the Corporation’s on and off-balance
sheet financial instruments as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Interest rates are assumed to shift by a parallel 100 or 200 basis points upward or 100 basis points downward over the periods indicated, except for core savings deposits, which are assumed to shift by lesser amounts due to their relative historical insensitivity to market interest rate movements. Further, deposits are assumed to have certain minimum rate levels below which they will not fall. It should be noted that the rate scenarios shown do not necessarily reflect the ALCO’s view of the “most likely” change in interest rates over the periods indicated.
| | June 30, 2007 | | | December 31, 2006 | |
| | Months 1 - 12 | | | Months 13 - 24 | | | Months 1 - 12 | | | Months 13 - 24 | |
100 basis point rate decrease | | | -2.23 | % | | | -1.69 | % | | | -1.63 | % | | | -2.47 | % |
100 basis point rate increase | | | -1.33 | % | | | -5.97 | % | | | -1.18 | % | | | -5.03 | % |
200 basis point rate increase | | | -0.60 | % | | | -9.15 | % | | | -0.78 | % | | | -8.01 | % |
The ALCO estimates that the exposure of net interest income to falling rates as compared to an unchanged rate scenario results from a more rapid decline in earning asset yields compared to rates paid in deposits. If rates were to fall and remain low for a sustained period, certain core savings and time deposit rates could decline more slowly and by a lesser amount than other market rates. Asset yields would likely decline more rapidly than deposit costs as current asset holdings mature or reprice, since cash flow from mortgage-related prepayments and redemption of callable securities would increase as market rates fall.
The neutral exposure of net interest income to rising rates in Year 1 as compared to an unchanged rate scenario results from a relative balance between anticipated increases in asset yields and funding costs over the near term. For simulation purposes, core savings deposit rate changes are anticipated to lag other market rates in both timing and magnitude. The ALCO’s estimate of interest rate risk exposure to rising rate environments, including those involving changes to the shape of the yield curve, incorporates certain assumptions regarding the shift in mix from low-cost core savings deposits to higher-cost deposit categories, which has characterized a shift in funding mix during the current rising interest rate cycle.
The negative exposure of net interest income to rising rates in Year 2 as compared to an unchanged rate scenario is primarily attributable to an increase in funding costs associated with retail deposits. Increases in interest rates have created greater growth in rate-sensitive money market and time deposits than growth in other lower-cost deposit categories. The ALCO remodeling process assumes that this shift in deposit mix towards higher cost deposit categories would continue if interest rates were to increase, and that this assumption accurately reflects historical operating conditions in rising rate cycles. Although asset yields would also increase in a rising interest rate environment, the cumulative impact of relative growth in the rate-sensitive higher cost deposit category suggests that by Year 2 of rising interest rate scenarios, the increase in the Corporation’s cost of funds could result in a relative decline in net interest margin compared to an unchanged rate scenario.
While the ALCO reviews simulation assumptions and back-tests simulation results to ensure that they are reasonable and current, income simulation may not always prove to be an accurate indicator of interest rate risk or future net interest margin. Over time, the repricing, maturity and prepayment characteristics of financial instruments and the composition of the Corporation’s balance sheet may change to a different degree than estimated. Simulation modeling assumes a static balance sheet, with the exception of certain modeled deposit mix shifts from low-cost core savings deposits to higher-cost money market and time deposits noted above. The static balance sheet assumption does not necessarily reflect the Corporation’s expectation for future balance sheet growth, which is a function of the business environment and customer behavior. Another significant simulation assumption is the sensitivity of core savings deposits to fluctuations in interest rates. Income simulation results assume that changes in both core savings deposit rates and balances are related to changes in short-term interest rates. The assumed relationship between short-term interest rate changes and core deposit rate and balance changes used in income simulation may differ from the ALCO’s estimates. Lastly, mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans involve a level of risk that unforeseen changes in prepayment speeds may cause related cash flows to vary significantly in differing rate environments. Such changes could affect the level of reinvestment risk associated with cash flow from these instruments, as well as their market value. Changes in prepayment speeds could also increase or decrease the amortization of premium or accretion of discounts related to such instruments, thereby affecting interest income.
The Corporation also monitors the potential change in market value of its available for sale debt securities in changing interest rate environments. The purpose is to determine market value exposure that may not be captured by
income simulation, but which might result in changes to the Corporation’s capital position. Results are calculated using industry-standard analytical techniques and securities data. Available for sale equity securities are excluded from this analysis because the market value of such securities cannot be directly correlated with changes in interest rates. The following table summarizes the potential change in market value of the Corporation’s available for sale debt securities as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 resulting from immediate parallel rate shifts:
