REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Audit Committee

Westfield Financial, Inc.

Westfield, Massachusetts

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the 401(k) Plan as Adopted by Westfield Bank (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the 401(k) Plan as Adopted by Westfield Bank as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The supplemental information in the accompanying schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2014 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but include supplemental information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

401(k) Plan as Adopted by Westfield Bank

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

 

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
     
    The following description of the 401(k) Plan as Adopted by Westfield Bank (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
     
    General
     
    The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all salaried and hourly employees of Westfield Bank and subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Plan Sponsor” or the “Company”) who have at least three consecutive months of service and have attained age 21 or older. An officer of the Plan Sponsor serves as the Plan Administrator. Principal Financial Group is the custodian of the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).
     
    Contributions
     
    Each year, participants may contribute up to 75 percent of their pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan, subject to certain Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) limitations. The Company makes a matching contribution of 50 percent of the first 6 percent of compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan. In addition to employer matching contributions, the Company may make optional contributions for any Plan year, at its discretion. No discretionary contributions were made for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans.
     
    Participant Accounts
     
    Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, the Company’s matching contribution, and allocations of Company discretionary contributions and Plan earnings, and charged with withdrawals and an allocation of Plan losses. Allocations are based on participant compensation or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

December 31, 2014 and 2013

     

    DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued)
     
    Investments
     
   

Participants direct the investment of their contributions into investment options offered by the Plan which include selected pooled separate accounts of The Principal Financial Group, common shares of Westfield Financial, Inc. (the parent company of Westfield Bank), a stable value fund and a mutual fund. Company contributions are invested in each participant’s account according to the participant’s selected allocation. Participants may change or transfer their investment options at any time via an automated telephone system or the custodian’s website.

     
    Vesting
     
    Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Bank’s contribution portion of their accounts plus earnings thereon is based on continuous years of credited service. A participant is 100% vested after three years of credited service.
     
    Notes Receivable from Participants
     
    Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000. The maximum principal amount of any loan shall not exceed the lesser of (a) 50 percent of the vested balance of the borrower’s interest in the Plan determined immediately after the origination of the loan or (b) $50,000, reduced by the excess, if any, of the highest outstanding principal balance of loans from the Plan to the borrower during the one-year period ending on the day before the date of the new loan, over the outstanding balance of loans as of the date of the new loan.
     
    Loan transactions are treated as transfers between the investment fund and the loan fund. Loan terms range from one to five years, or as determined by the Plan Administrator for the purchase of a primary residence. These loans are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan’s loan program and Plan Administrator approval. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at rates commensurate with local prevailing rates on similar types of loans at the time funds are borrowed as determined by the Plan Administrator. The interest rate on all outstanding loans was 4.25% at December 31, 2014.

    DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Concluded)
     
    Payment of Benefits
     
    On termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account, or in certain cases, annual installments over a period of not more than the participant’s assumed life expectancy. For termination of service for other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution.
     
    Forfeited Accounts
     
    Forfeited nonvested amounts are first used to pay administrative expenses then to reduce future employer contributions. Forfeited nonvested balances were $2,524 and $675 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
     
    Administrative Expenses
     
    The Plan’s administrative expenses are paid by either the Plan or the Plan Sponsor as provided by the Plan document. Fees paid by the Plan to the custodian for administrative services were $6,889 and $6,565 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
     
2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     
    Basis of Accounting
     
    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
     
    Use of Estimates
     
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes therein. Estimates are principally used in the determination of the fair value of investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
     
    Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
     
    Fully benefit-responsive investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts, because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. As required, the statements of net assets available for benefits present the fair value of the investment as well as the adjustment of the investment from fair value to contract value relating to these guaranteed interest accounts (stable value fund). The statements of changes in net assets available for benefits are prepared on a contract value basis.
     
    The Plan’s pooled separate accounts, mutual fund and stable value fund are valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) which is based on the fair value of the underlying assets of the accounts. Investments in common stock are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.
     
    Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Net appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of investments includes both realized and unrealized gains and losses. Gains and losses on investments sold are calculated using the average cost method and are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
     
    Excess Contributions Payable
     
    The Plan is required to return contributions received during the Plan year in excess of the IRC limitations. There were no excess contributions for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
     
    Benefits
     
    Benefits are recorded when paid.

December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

 

    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Concluded)
     
    Notes Receivable from Participants
     
   

Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent notes receivable are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the Plan document.

     
    Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     
    There were no recent accounting pronouncements adopted by the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2014.
     
    Fair Value Hierarchy
     
    The Plan groups its assets measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
     
    Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets.
     
    Level 2 – Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets.
     
    Level 3 – Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets. Level 3 assets include financial instruments whose value is determined using unobservable inputs to pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

    INVESTMENTS (Continued)
     
    During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Plan’s investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held, during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in value as follows:

 

 

   2014  2013
           
Pooled separate accounts  $591,962   $1,773,987 
Stable value fund   10,225    13,608 
Mutual fund   6,905    (16,024)
Westfield Financial, Inc. common stock   (20,673)   57,453 
Net appreciation in fair value of investments  $588,419   $1,829,024 

 

 

    Stable Value Fund
     
    In 2006, the Plan entered into a benefit-responsive investment contract with The Union Bond & Trust Company Principal Stable Value Fund (the “Fund”). Morley Financial Services, Inc. acts as the Fund’s investment advisor. The Union Bond & Trust Company maintains the contributions in a general account. The account is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The investment contract is reflected in the financial statements at fair value as reported to the Plan by The Union Bond & Trust Company.
     
    Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. Contract value, as reported to the Plan by The Union Bond & Trust Company, represents invested principal plus accrued interest thereon. The contracts are nontransferable but provide for benefit responsive withdrawals and participant transfers to noncompeting options by Plan participants at contract value.
     
    There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The fair value of the investment contract at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $1,299,715 and $1,644,045 respectively. The gross crediting interest rate is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuer. The interest rates are reviewed on a monthly basis for resetting.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

    INVESTMENTS (Concluded)
     
   

Certain events may limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value. Such events include but may not be limited to the following: (1) the complete or partial termination of the Plan; (2) the establishment or activation of, or material change in, any Plan investment fund, or an amendment to the Plan or a change in the administration or operation of the Plan, including the removal of a group of employees from Plan coverage as a result of the sale or liquidation of a subsidiary or division or as a result of group layoffs or early retirement programs. The Plan Administrator does not believe that any of the events which could limit the Plan’s ability to transact at contract value with participants are probable of occurring.

     
    The Union Bond & Trust Company can terminate the investment contract upon the event of default by the Plan if it determines in its reasonable discretion, such event has had, or is likely to have a material adverse effect on its interest with respect to the contract.
     
    The following table sets forth the average yields earned by the Plan on its investment in the Fund for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

 

   2014  2013
Average yields:          
Based on actual earnings   1.36%   1.43%
Based on interest rate credited to participants   1.48%   1.28%
           

4.   PLAN TERMINATION
     
   

Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event that the Plan is terminated, participants would become 100% vested in their accounts.

     
5.   FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
     
   

The Plan received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, dated September 2, 2011, stating that the Plan, as designed, is in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. The Plan’s management believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income tax has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

 

    FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS (Concluded)
     
   

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by federal and state tax authorities. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2014, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions, however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2011.

     
6.   TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST
     
   

The Plan has investments in the common stock of Westfield Financial, Inc., and pooled separate accounts managed by Principal Financial Group. Westfield Financial, Inc. is the holding company for Westfield Bank, a federally-chartered savings bank located in western Massachusetts and Plan Sponsor. Principal Financial Group is the custodian of the Plan and therefore these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Company to the custodian for loan administration and other administrative services were $17,350 and $17,850 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

     
7.   RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
     
   

The Plan invests in a variety of investment vehicles and has concentrations in the stock of Westfield Financial, Inc., Union Bond & Trust Company Principal Stable Value Fund and separate accounts managed by Principal Financial Group. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risk factors in the near term could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.

Common stocks – Common stocks are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

     
    Pooled Separate Accounts – The pooled separate accounts are based on the net asset value (“NAV”) which is based on the fair value of the underlying assets of the accounts.
     
   

Mutual Funds – Mutual funds are valued at the NAV of shares held by the Plan at year end.

     
   

Stable Value Fund – This is a collective investment trust for which the NAV is based on the market value of its underlying investments. This fund contains synthetic investment contracts comprised of both underlying investment and contractual components which have observable Level 1 or Level 2 pricing inputs, including quoted prices for similar assets in active or non-active markets.

    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)
     
   

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan Administrator believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

     
   

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively:
