NEW HAMPSHIRE THRIFT BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2013
(Unaudited)
Nature of Operations
New Hampshire Thrift Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware holding company organized on July 5, 1989, is the parent company of Lake Sunapee Bank, fsb (the “Bank”), a federally-chartered savings bank organized in 1868. The Bank has three wholly owned subsidiaries: Lake Sunapee Financial Services Corp.; Lake Sunapee Group, Inc., which owns and maintains all buildings and investment properties; and McCrillis & Eldredge Insurance, Inc. (“M&E”), a full-line independent insurance agency acquired in 2012, which offers a complete range of commercial insurance services and consumer products. The Company, through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, currently operates 22 locations in New Hampshire in Grafton, Hillsborough, Merrimack and Sullivan counties as well as 8 locations in Vermont in Rutland and Windsor counties. The Bank is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and its deposits are insured by the FDIC. The Company is regulated by the Federal Reserve Board, and the Bank is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”).
Note A – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and, accordingly, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The December 31, 2012, condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.
Note B – Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank, McCrillis & Eldredge, Lake Sunapee Group, Inc. and Lake Sunapee Financial Services Corp. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
NHTB Capital Trust II and NHTB Capital Trust III, affiliates of the Company, were formed to sell capital securities to the public through a third-party trust pool. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10, “Consolidation-Overall,” these affiliates have not been included in the consolidated financial statements.
Note C – Impact of New Accounting Standards
In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” This ASU is to enhance current disclosures. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2012, FASB issued ASU 2012-06, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution.” The amendments in this update clarify the applicable guidance for subsequently measuring an indemnification asset recognized as a result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning on or after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The amendments in this update do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The required disclosures have been reflected in the accompanying footnotes to the consolidated financial statements.
5
In February 2013, FASB issued ASU 2013-04, “Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date.” The objective of the amendments in this ASU is to provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. Examples of obligations within the scope of this ASU include debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013; and should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements within the ASU scope that exist at the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year of adoption. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2013, FASB issued ASU 2013-07, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting.” The amendments in this ASU are being issued to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. The guidance provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. Additionally, the amendments require disclosures about an entity’s plan for liquidation, the methods and significant assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities, the type and amount of costs and income accrued, and the expected duration of the liquidation process. The amendments are effective for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. Entities should apply the requirements prospectively from the day that liquidation becomes imminent. Early adoption is permitted. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Note D – Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
Level 1 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 1 also includes U.S. Treasury, other U.S. government and agency mortgage-backed securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, are not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets and liabilities.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
The Company’s cash instruments are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency.
The Company’s investment in mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, preferred stock with maturities and other debt securities available-for-sale are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from independent pricing services. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the instrument’s terms and conditions.
The Company’s derivative financial instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For these financial instruments, the Company obtains fair value measurements from independent pricing services. The fair value measurements utilize a discounted cash flow model that incorporates and considers observable data that may include publicly available third party market quotes, in developing the curve utilized for discounting future cash flows.
6
Level 3 is for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Subsequent to inception, management only changes Level 3 inputs and assumptions when corroborated by evidence such as transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalization and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt markets, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis.
Securities Available-for-Sale. The fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio is estimated using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. For Levels 1 and 2, the fair value measurements consider (i) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and (ii) observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and a bond’s terms and conditions, among other factors, respectively.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Impaired Loans.Certain impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based on appraisals of similar properties obtained from a third party valuation service. Fair values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on appraisals of similar properties obtained from a third party valuation service discounted by management based on historical losses for similar collateral.
Other Real Estate Owned.Other real estate owned is reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based on appraisals of similar properties obtained from a third party valuation service.
The following summarizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value at March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012.

Impaired loans measured for impairment, using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a recorded investment of $811thousand with a valuation allowance of $73 thousand at March 31, 2013. Collateral dependent loans are valued using third party appraisals primarily using the sales comparison approach. The appraisals may be discounted between 25-40% to reflect realizable value based on historical losses which represents an unobservable input. Impaired loans measured for impairment, using the net present value of cash flows, had a recorded investment of $1.6 million with a valuation allowance of $314 thousand at March 31. 2013. Loans valued using the net present value of cash flows are calculated using expected future cash flows with a discount rate equal to the effective yield of the loan. At December 31, 2012, impaired loans had a recorded investment of $1.4 million with no valuation allowance. Changes in fair value recognized for partial charge-offs of loans and impairment reserves on loans was a net decrease of $2.0 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Credit Quality Information
The Company utilizes a nine grade internal loan rating system for commercial real estate, construction and commercial loans as follows:
Loans rated 10-35: Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.
Loans rated 40: Loans in this category are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.
Loans rated 50: Loans in this category 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.
17
Loans rated 60: Loans in this category are considered “doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful 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 70: Loans in this category are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.
On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial real estate, construction and commercial loans over $250 thousand. The assessment of those loans less than $250 thousand are based on the borrower’s ability to pay and not on overall risk. Additionally, the Company monitors the repayment activity for loans less than $250 thousand and if a loan becomes delinquent over 60 days past due, it is reviewed for risk and is subsequently risk rated based on available information such as ability to repay based on current cash flow conditions and workout discussions with the borrower.
Loan Servicing
The Company recognizes as separate assets from their related loans the rights to service mortgage loans for others, either through acquisition of those rights or from the sale or securitization of loans with the servicing rights retained on those loans, based on their relative fair values. To determine the fair value of the servicing rights created, the Company uses the market prices under comparable servicing sale contracts, when available, or alternatively uses a valuation model that calculates the present value of future cash flows to determine the fair value of the servicing rights. In using this valuation method, the Company incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, which includes estimates of the cost of servicing loans, the discount rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates.
Mortgage servicing rights are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Refinance activities are considered in estimating the period of net servicing revenues. Impairment of mortgage servicing rights is assessed based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on a current market interest rate. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights are stratified based on the interest rate risk characteristics of the underlying loans. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which the capitalized mortgage servicing rights for a stratum exceed their fair value.
The balance of capitalized servicing rights, net of valuation allowances, included in other assets at March 31, 2013, was $2.5 million. Servicing rights of $574 thousand were capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $233 thousand for the same period in 2012. Amortization of capitalized servicing rights was $246 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $236 thousand for the same period in 2012. The fair value of capitalized servicing rights was $3.9 million of March 31, 2013.
Following is an analysis of the aggregate changes in the valuation allowance for capitalized servicing rights during the period indicated:

Note H – Stock-based Compensation
At March 31, 2013, the Company had two stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company accounts for those plans under ASC 718-10, “Compensation-Stock Compensation-Overall.” During the three months ended March 31, 2013, stock-based employee compensation costs of $19 thousand were recognized for the Company’s fixed stock option plans compared to no costs during the same period in 2012.
The Company granted a total of 4,500 shares of restricted stock awards (“Stock Awards”) to an employee effective March 1, 2013. The restricted stock was granted under the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and awarded the employee shares of restricted common stock of the Company. The restricted stock vests ratably over a five year period beginning on March 1, 2014. Compensation expense relating to this restricted stock awards is based on the grant-date fair value of $13.50 per share; and amounted to $1 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to this award at March 31, 2013 of $60 thousand will be recognized over the next 4.9 years.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
Highlights and Overview
Our profitability is derived primarily from the Bank. The Bank’s earnings in turn are generated from the net income from the earnings on its loan and investment portfolios less the cost of its deposit accounts and borrowings. These core revenues are supplemented by gains on sales of loans originated for sale, retail banking service fees, gains on the sale of investment securities and brokerage fees. The following is a summary of key financial results for the quarter and three months ended March 31, 2013:
| • | | total assets were $1.2 billion at March 31, 2013, from $1.3 billion at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $39.3 million, or 3.09%; |
| • | | net loans were $900.1 million at March 31, 2013, from $902.2 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 0.23%; |
| • | | during the three month period ended March 31, 2013, we originated $77.7 million in loans, compared to $72.7 million for the same period in 2012, an increase of $5.0 million, or 6.81%; |
| • | | our loan servicing portfolio was $395.4 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $385.4 million at December 31, 2012; |
| • | | total deposits were $912.4 million at March 31, 2013, from $949.3 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $36.9 million, or 3.89%; |
| • | | net interest and dividend income for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, was $8.2 million compared to $7.1 million for the same period in 2012, an increase of $1.0 million, or 14.66%; |
| • | | net income available to common stockholders was $1.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2012; and |
| • | | as a percentage of total loans, non-performing loans decreased to 2.00% at March 31, 2013, from 2.22% at December 31, 2012. |
The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding our financial condition and results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained elsewhere in this report.
Pending Mergers
On February 15, 2013, the Bank entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Meredith Village Savings Bank (“MVSB”), pursuant to which the Bank will acquire all of the shares of common stock of Charter Holding Corp.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
21
Critical accounting estimates are necessary in the application of certain accounting policies and procedures, and are particularly susceptible to significant change. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2013. For additional information on our critical accounting policies, please refer to the information contained in Notes A, B and C of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements included in our 2012 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012
Total assets were $1.2 billion at March 31, 2013, compared to $1.3 billion at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $39.3 million, or 3.09%. Securities available-for-sale decreased $18.5 million, or 8.72%, to $193.9 million at March 31, 2013, from $212.4 million at December 31, 2012. Net unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale were $1.4 million at March 31, 2013, compared to net unrealized gains of $2.0 million at December 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we sold securities with a total book value of $18.5 million for a net gain on sales of $167 thousand. During the same period, we purchased a $740 thousand municipal bond. Our net unrealized gain (after tax) on our investment portfolio was $875 thousand at March 31, 2013, compared to an unrealized gain (after tax) of $1.2 million at December 31, 2012. The investments in the Company’s investment portfolio that are temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2013, consist of U.S. Treasury notes, mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government sponsored enterprises, municipal bonds, and equity securities. The unrealized losses are primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates and market inefficiencies. Management has determined that the Company has the intent and the ability to hold debt securities until maturity and equity securities until the recovery of cost basis, and therefore, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary
Net loans held in portfolio decreased $2.1 million, or 0.23%, to $900.1 million at March 31, 2013, from $902.2 million at December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses decreased $154 thousand to $9.8 million at March 31, 2013, from $9.9 million at December 31, 2012. The change in the allowance for loan losses is the net of the effect of provisions of $400 thousand, charge-offs of $734 thousand, and recoveries of $180 thousand. As a percentage of total loans, non-performing loans decreased from 2.22% at December 31, 2012, to 2.00% at March 31, 2013. During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company originated $77.7 million in loans, compared to $72.7 million for the same period in 2012, an increase of $5.0 million, or 6.81%. The decrease of loans held in portfolio was primarily due to decreases in commercial real estate loans of $5.5 million and land and constructions loans of $3.0 million offset in part by increases in conventional real estate loans of $6.7 million and commercial loans of $1.7 million. At March 31, 2013, our mortgage servicing loan portfolio was $395.4 million compared to $385.4 million at December 31, 2012. We expect to continue to sell long-term fixed-rate loans with terms of more than 15 years into the secondary market in order to manage interest rate risk. Market risk exposure during the production cycle is managed through the use of secondary market forward commitments. At March 31, 2013, adjustable-rate mortgages comprised approximately 64.0% of our real estate mortgage loan portfolio, which is consistent with the mix at December 31, 2012.
Goodwill and other intangible assets amounted to $38.7 million, or 3.14% of total assets, as of March 31, 2013, compared to $38.8 million, or 3.05% of total assets, as of December 31, 2012. The decrease was due to normal amortization of core deposit intangible and customer list assets.
We held $102 thousand, representing a single property, of other real estate owned (“OREO”) and property acquired in settlement of loans at March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012.
Total deposits decreased $36.9 million, or 3.89%, to $912.4 million at March 31, 2013, from $949.3 million at December 31, 2012. Non-interest bearing deposit accounts decreased $4.3 million, or 5.86%, and interest-bearing deposit accounts decreased $32.6 million, or 3.72%, over the same period. The balances at March 31, 2013, included $21.8 million of brokered deposits, which is a decrease of $3.2 million compared to December 31, 2012, and $7.0 million of deposits obtained through listing services, which is unchanged compared to December 31, 2012.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $4.7 million, or 32.05%, to $19.3 million at March 31, 2013, from $14.6 million at December 31, 2012. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by some of our U.S. government and agency investment securities.
We maintained balances of $132.2 million in advances from the FHLB at March 31, 2013, a decrease of $10.5 million from $142.7 million at December 31, 2012.
Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses
We maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Adjustments to the allowance for loan losses are charged to income through the provision for loan losses. We test the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at least
22
quarterly by preparing an analysis applying loss factors to outstanding loans by type. This analysis stratifies the loan portfolio by loan type and assigns a loss factor to each type based on an assessment of the risk associated with each type. In determining the loss factors, we consider historical losses and market conditions. Loss factors may be adjusted for qualitative factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio.
The allowance for loan losses incorporates the results of measuring impairment for specifically identified non-homogenous problem loans in accordance with ASC 310-10-35, “Receivables-Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality-Subsequent Measurement.” In accordance with ASC 310-10-35, the specific allowance reduces the carrying amount of the impaired loans to their estimated fair value. A loan is recognized as impaired when it is probable that principal and/or interest is not collectible in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Measurement of impairment can be based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the market price of the loan, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Measurement of impairment does not apply to large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans such as residential mortgage, home equity, or installment loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment.
Our commercial loan officers review the financial condition of commercial loan customers on a regular basis and perform visual inspections of facilities and inventories. We also have loan review, internal audit and compliance programs with results reported directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
The allowance for loan losses (not including allowance for losses from the overdraft program described below) at March 31, 2013 was 9.8 million and at December 31, 2012, was $9.9 million. At approximately $9.8 million, the allowance for loan losses represents 1.08% of total loans, no change from December 31, 2012. Total non-performing assets at March 31, 2013, were approximately $11 million, representing 112.80% of the allowance for loan losses. Modestly improving economic and market conditions, coupled with internal risk rating changes, resulted in us adding $400 thousand to the allowance for loan and lease losses during the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $150 thousand for the same period in 2012. Loan charge-offs (excluding the overdraft program) were $734 thousand during the three month period ended March 31, 2013, compared to $379 thousand for the same period in 2012. Recoveries were $180 thousand during the three month period ended March 31, 2013, compared to $74 thousand for the same period in 2012. This activity resulted in net charge-offs of $554 thousand for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, compared to $305 thousand for the same period in 2012. One-to-four family residential mortgages, commercial real estate, commercial, and consumer loans accounted for 30%, 53%, 14%, and 3%, respectively, of the amounts charged-off during the three month period ended March 31, 2013.
The effects of national economic issues that continue to be felt in our local communities and the national economic outlook as well as portfolio performance and charge-offs influenced our decision to maintain our allowance for loan losses of $9.8 million. The provisions made in 2013 reflect growth in the portfolio, loan loss experience and changes in economic conditions that affect the risk of loss inherent in the loan portfolio. Management anticipates making additional provisions during the remainder of 2013 to maintain the allowance at an adequate level.
In addition to the allowance for loan losses, there is an allowance for losses from the fee for service overdraft program. Our policy is to maintain an allowance equal to 100% of the aggregate balance of negative balance accounts that have remained negative for 30 days or more. Negative balance accounts are charged-off when the balance has remained negative for 60 consecutive days. At March 31, 2013, the overdraft allowance was $15 thousand, compared to $14 thousand at year-end 2012. Provisions for overdraft losses in the amount of $14 thousand were recorded during the three month period ended March 31, 2013, compared to provisions of $5 thousand that were recorded for the same period during 2012. Ongoing provisions are anticipated as overdraft charge-offs continue and we adhere to our policy to maintain an allowance for overdraft losses equal to 100% of the aggregate negative balance of accounts remaining negative for 30 days or more.

Classified loans include non-performing loans and performing loans that have been adversely classified, net of specific reserves. Total classified loans were $23.9 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $25.9 million at December 31, 2012. In addition, we had OREO at March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, of $102 thousand. During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, there was no other OREO activity. Losses have occurred in the liquidation process and our loss experience suggests it is prudent for us to continue funding provisions to build the allowance for loan losses. While, for the most part, quantifiable loss amounts have not been identified with individual credits, we anticipate more charge-offs as loan issues are resolved. The impaired loans meet the criteria established under ASC 310-10-35. Thirteen loans considered to be impaired loans at March 31, 2013, have specific allowances identified and assigned. The five loans are secured by real estate, business assets or a combination of both. At March 31, 2013, the allowance included $387 thousand allocated to impaired loans. The portion of the allowance allocated to impaired loans at December 31, 2012, was $361 thousand.
At March 31, 2013, we had 61 loans totaling $12.2 million considered to be “troubled debt restructurings” as defined in ASC 310-40, “Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” included in impaired loans. At March 31, 2013, 44 of the “troubled debt restructurings” were performing under contractual terms. Of the loans classified as troubled debt restructured, 16 were more than 30 days past due at March 31, 2013. The balances of these past due loans were $3.6 million. At December 31, 2012, we had 65 loans totaling $13.1 million considered to be “troubled debt restructurings.”
Loans over 90 days past due were $3.3 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2012. Loans 30 to 89 days past due were $6.2 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $10.1 million at December 31, 2012. As a percentage of assets, the recorded investment in non-performing loans decreased from 1.60% at December 31, 2012, to 1.50% at March 31, 2013, and, as a percentage of total loans, decreased from 2.21% at December 31, 2012, to 2.02% at March 31, 2013.
Loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard, or special mention do not reflect trends or uncertainties which we reasonably expect will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources. For the period ended March 31, 2013, all loans about which management possesses information regarding possible borrower credit problems and doubts as to borrowers’ ability to comply with present loan repayment terms or to repay a loan through liquidation of collateral are included in the tables below or discussed herein.
At March 31, 2013, there were no other loans excluded from the tables below or not discussed above where known information about possible credit problems of the borrowers caused management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in disclosure of such loans in the future.
The following table shows the breakdown of the amount of non-performing assets and non-performing assets as a percentage of the total allowance and total assets for the periods indicated:

We believe the allowance for loan losses is at a level sufficient to cover inherent losses, given the current level of risk in the loan portfolio. At the same time, we recognize that the determination of future loss potential is intrinsically uncertain. Future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic, real estate, and other conditions differ substantially from the current operating environment and result in increased levels of non-performing loans and substantial differences between estimated and actual losses. Adjustments to the allowance are charged to income through the provision for loan losses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are required to maintain sufficient liquidity for safe and sound operations. At March 31, 2013, our liquidity was sufficient to cover our anticipated needs for funding new loan commitments of approximately $47.9 million. Our source of funds is derived primarily from net deposit inflows, loan amortizations, principal pay downs from loans, sold loan proceeds, and advances from the FHLB. At March 31, 2013, we had approximately $160.7 million in additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB.
At March 31, 2013, stockholders’ equity totaled $130.3 million, compared to $129.5 million at December 31, 2012. This reflects net income of $2.1 million, the declaration and payment of $893 thousand in common stock dividends, the declaration of $141 thousand in preferred stock dividends, and an increase of $251 thousand in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
At March 31, 2013, 148,088 shares remained to be repurchased under the repurchase plan previously approved by the Board of Directors. The repurchase plan permits the repurchase of up to 253,776 shares of our common stock. The Board of Directors has determined that a share buyback is appropriate to enhance stockholder value because such repurchases generally increase earnings per common share, return on average assets and on average equity, which are three performing benchmarks against which bank and thrift holding companies are measured. We buy stock in the open market whenever the price of the stock is deemed reasonable and we have funds available for the purchase. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, no shares were repurchased.
At March 31, 2013, we had unrestricted funds available in the amount of $1.8 million. As of March 31, 2013, our total cash needs for the remainder of 2013 are estimated to be approximately $4.5 million with $2.7 million projected to be used to pay dividends on our common stock, $570 thousand to pay interest on our capital securities, $250 thousand to pay dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below), and approximately $1.0 million for ordinary operating expense, including approximately $700 thousand related to completing the acquisition of Central Financial Corp. The Bank pays dividends to the Company as its sole stockholder, within guidelines set forth by the OCC. Since the Bank is well-capitalized and has capital in excess of regulatory requirements, it is anticipated that funds will be available to cover the additional Company cash requirements for 2013, if needed, as long as earnings at the Bank are sufficient to maintain adequate leverage capital.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities increased $4.3 million to $8.4 million compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2012. The change in loans held for sale increased $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, with a decrease of $3.4 million in loans held for the period in 2013 compared to an increase of $953 thousand in 2012. Net gain on sales and calls of securities decreased $984 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, as a result of the sale and settlement of approximately $18.5 million of securities during the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to approxiately $39.3 million of securities during the same period in 2012. The provision for loan losses increased $259 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease in accrued interest receivable and other assets decreased $317 thousand while the increase in accrued expenses and liabilities decreased $349 thousand.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $18.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to cash used of $39.0 million for the same period in 2012, a change of $57.2 million. The cash provided by net securities activities was $17.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to cash used in net securities activities of $11.6 million for the same period in 2012. Cash provided by the redemption of FHLB stock was $213 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $119 thousand for the same period in 2012. Cash provided by loan originations and principal collections, net, was $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $24.1 million, compared to cash used of $22.5 million for the same period in 2012. Additionally, no cash was used in the purchase of life insurance policies during the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $5.0 million of cash used for this purpose for the same period in 2012.
26
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, net cash flows used in financing activities increased $91.9 million to cash used of $43.7 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $48.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we experienced a net increase of $42.4 million in cash used by deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase comparing cash used of $32.2 million to cash provided of $10.2 million for the same period in 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we had an increase of $50.2 million of cash used in FHLB advances and other borrowings comparing cash used of $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to cash provided of $39.7 million for the same period in 2012.
On August 25, 2011, as part of the U.S. Treasury’s (“Treasury”) Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”) program, we entered into a letter agreement with Treasury pursuant to which we issued and sold to Treasury 20,000 shares of our Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, par value $.01 per preferred share, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per preferred share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”.) We used $10.0 million of the proceeds to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock issued under CPP.
On March 20, 2013, we entered into the First Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA Amendment”) with the Secretary of the Treasury, pursuant to which we issued an additional 3,000 shares of its Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (“SBLF Preferred Stock”). The SBLF Preferred Stock was issued in exchange for the cancellation of the outstanding shares of The Nashua Bank’s Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, that was assumed in the merger that was completed on December 21, 2012.
The initial rate payable on SBLF capital is, at most, five percent, and the rate falls to one percent if a bank’s small business lending increases by ten percent or more. Banks that increase their lending by less than ten percent pay rates between two percent and four percent. If a bank’s lending does not increase in the first two years, however, the rate increases to seven percent, and after 4.5 years total, the rate for all banks increases to nine percent (if the bank has not already repaid the SBLF funding). The dividend will be paid only when declared by our Board of Directors. The Series B Preferred Stock has no maturity date and ranks senior to the Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company.
The Series B Preferred Stock generally is non-voting, other than class voting on certain matters that could adversely affect the Series B Preferred Stock.
Banks are required to maintain tier one leverage capital and total risk based capital ratios of 4.00% and 8.00%, respectively. As of March 31, 2013, the Bank’s ratios were 9.28% and 15.08%, respectively, well in excess of the regulators’ requirements.
Book value per common share was $15.19 at March 31, 2013, compared to $15.09 per common share at December 31, 2012. Tangible book value per common share was $9.71 at March 31, 2013 compared to $9.59 per common share at December 31, 2012. Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated using GAAP amounts. Tangible book value per common share is calculated by dividing tangible common equity by the total number of shares outstanding at a point in time. Tangible common equity is calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill, other intangible assets and preferred stock from the calculation of shareholder’s equity. We believe that tangible book value per common share provides information to investors that may be useful in understanding our financial condition. Because not all companies use the same calculation of tangible common equity and tangible book value per common share, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures calculated by other companies.

Interest Rate Sensitivity
The principal objective of our interest rate management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk inherent in certain balance sheet accounts and determine the appropriate level of risk given our business strategies, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance objectives, and to manage the risk consistent with our Board of Directors’ approved guidelines. The Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) to review our asset/liability policies and interest rate position. Trends and interest rate positions are reported to the Board of Directors monthly.
Gap analysis is used to examine the extent to which assets and liabilities are “rate sensitive.” An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specified period of time and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within the same specified period of time. The strategy of matching rate sensitive assets with similar liabilities stabilizes profitability during periods of interest rate fluctuations.
Our one-year cumulative interest-rate gap at March 31, 2013, was positive 3.01%, compared to the December 31, 2012, gap of negative 0.80%. With an asset sensitive (positive) gap, if rates were to rise, net interest margin would likely increase and if rates were to fall, the net interest margin would likely decrease.
We continue to offer adjustable-rate mortgages, which reprice at one, three, five and seven year intervals. In addition, we sell most fixed-rate mortgages with terms of 15 years or longer into the secondary market in order to minimize interest rate risk and provide liquidity.
As another part of its interest rate risk analysis, we use an interest rate sensitivity model, which generates estimates of the change in our economic value of equity (“EVE”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. EVE is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. The EVE ratio, under any rate scenario, is defined as the EVE in that scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions, which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to the changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the EVE model assumes that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remain constant over the period being measured and that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve. Accordingly, although the EVE measurements and net interest income models provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market rates on our net interest income and will likely differ from actual results.
The following table sets forth our EVE at March 31, 2013, as calculated by an independent third party agent:

Comparison of the Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012
Consolidated net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013, was $2.1 million, or $0.27 per common share (assuming dilution), compared to $2.1 million, or $0.31 per common share (assuming dilution), for the same period in 2012, a decrease of $30 thousand, or 1.44%.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, total interest and dividend income decreased $823 thousand, or 9.11%, to $9.9 million from $9.0 million for the same period in 2012. Interest and fees on loans increased $1.5 million, or 19.21%, for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, to $9.2 million from $7.7 million at March 31, 2012, due primarily to increased portfolio balances offset by loans repricing. Interest on investments and other interest decreased $651 thousand, or 49.06%, for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, due primarily to a decreased position in investments coupled with lower yields on investments held comparing periods.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, total interest expense decreased $217 thousand, or 11.27%, to $1.7 million from $1.9 million for the same period in 2012.

For additional information on provisions and adequacy, please refer to the section on Allowances for Loan Losses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, total noninterest income decreased $158 thousand, or 4.73%, to $3.2 million, from $3.3 million for the same period in 2012, as discussed below. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in net gains on sales of sales and calls of securities, net, offset in part by an increase on gains on loans and an increase insurance commission income.

This reflects the recognition of gains on the sales of approximately $18.5 million of securities sold during the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $39.3 million of securities sold during the same period in 2012. |
| • | | There was nogain (loss) on sales of other real estate and property owned, net of write-down recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to a net loss of $181 thousand for the same period in 2012.

| • | | Insurance commission income increased $75 thousand, or 18.29%, to $485 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012 due to primarily to an increase in contingency commissions received during the three months ended March 31, 2013. |
| • | | Bank-owned life insurance income increased $24 thousand to $128 thousand from $104 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012. |
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, total noninterest expenses increased $708 thousand, or 9.67%, to $8.0 million, from $7.3 million for the same period in 2012, discussed as follows. In summary, the increase was primarily due to increases in salary and employee benefits and other expenses.
For the three month period ended March 31, 2013:
| • | | Salaries and employee benefits increased $511 thousand, or 13.51%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. Gross salaries and benefits paid, which excludes the deferral of expenses associated with the origination of loans, increased |

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
There is no material litigation pending to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or to which our property or the property any of our subsidiaries is subject, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our operations involve various risks that could have adverse consequences, including those described below and in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The merger with CFC is subject to the receipt of consents and approvals from governmental entities that may delay the date of completion of the merger or impose conditions that could have an adverse effect on us.
Before the merger may be completed, various approvals, consents or waivers must be obtained from state and federal governmental authorities, including the OCC and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board. Satisfying the requirements of these governmental entities may delay the date of completion of the merger. In addition, these governmental entities may include conditions on the completion of the merger or require changes to the terms of the merger. While we and CFC do not currently expect that any such conditions or changes would result in a material adverse effect on us, there can be no assurance that they will not, and such conditions or changes could have the effect of delaying completion of the merger or imposing additional costs on or limiting our revenues following the merger, any of which might have a material adverse effect on us following the merger. The parties are not obligated to complete the merger should any regulatory approval contain a non-customary condition that materially alters the benefit to which we bargained for in the merger agreement.
The failure to successfully integrate CFC’s business and operations in the expected time frame may adversely affect our future results.
The success of the merger will depend, in part, on the combined company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits from combining the business of CFC with our business. However, to realize these anticipated benefits, the businesses must be successfully combined. If the combined company is not able to achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected.
We and CFC have operated and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, as well as the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, any or all of which could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors and employees after the merger or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger. Integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on our Company.
Unanticipated costs relating to the merger could reduce our future earnings per share.
We believe that we have reasonably estimated the likely costs of integrating the operations of our Company and CFC, and the incremental costs of operating as a combined company. However, it is possible that unexpected transaction costs such as taxes, fees or professional expenses or unexpected future operating expenses such as increased personnel costs or increased taxes, as well as other types of unanticipated adverse developments, could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the combined company. If unexpected costs are incurred, the merger could have a dilutive effect on the combined company’s earnings per share. In other words, if the merger is completed, the earnings per share of our common stock could be less than it would have been if the merger had not been completed.
Failure to complete the merger could negatively impact our stock prices and future businesses and financial results.
If the merger is not completed, our ongoing business may be adversely affected and we will be subject to several risks, including the following:
| • | | we will be required to pay certain costs relating to the merger, whether or not the merger is completed, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor and printing fees; and |
| • | | matters relating to the merger may require substantial commitments of time and resources by our management, which could otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities that may have been beneficial to us as independent company. |
32
In addition, if the merger is not completed, we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets and from our customers and employees. We also could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the merger or to enforcement proceedings commenced against us or CFC to perform our respective obligations under the merger agreement. If the merger is not completed, we cannot assure our stockholders that the risks described above will not materialize and will not materially affect our business, financial results and stock prices.
