NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of presentation and consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hampden Bank (the “Bank”) and Hampden LS, Inc.  Hampden Bank is a Massachusetts chartered stock savings bank. The Company contributed funds to Hampden LS, Inc. to enable it to make a 15-year loan to the employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”) to allow it to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock as part of the completion of the initial public offering. Hampden Bank has three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hampden Investment Corporation and Hampden Investment Corporation II, which engage in buying, selling, holding and otherwise dealing in securities, and Hampden Insurance Agency, which ceased selling insurance products in November of 2000 and remains inactive.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management the information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation. The results shown for the interim period ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2012 included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 18, 2012.

In preparing the consolidated interim financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the statement of financial condition and reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and deferred income taxes.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This update amends the disclosure requirements for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (OCI) as part of the statement of changes in stockholder’s equity. Under the amended guidance, all changes in OCI are to be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The changes, as modified by ASU 2011-12, are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. This guidance was adopted by the Company as of July 1, 2012, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
        In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05, to effectively defer only those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income.  The change is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, ending after December 31, 2011.

3. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed in a manner similar to that of basic EPS except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of incremental common shares (computed using the treasury stock method) that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents (such as stock options and unvested restricted stock) were issued during the period. Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are shown as a reduction in stockholders' equity and are included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted EPS calculations as they are committed to be released.

5. Loan Commitments
 
Outstanding loan commitments totaled $104.2 million at September 30, 2012 and $96.3 million as of June 30, 2012. Loan commitments primarily consist of commitments to originate new loans as well as the outstanding unused portions of home equity, business and other lines of credit, and unused portions of construction loans.

6. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
 
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:
 
 
Level 1:
Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.
     
 
Level 2:
Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
     
 
Level 3:
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
 
Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period, if applicable.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
 
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and federal funds sold and other short-term investments approximate fair values.
 
Securities available for sale: The fair values used by the Company are obtained from an independent pricing service, which represents either quoted market prices for identical securities, quoted market prices for comparable securities or fair values determined by pricing models that consider observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems and other market indicators, industry and economic events.  These values are not adjusted by the Company.
 
Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston stock: The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock approximates fair value based upon the redemption provisions of the FHLB of Boston.
 
Loans held for sale: Fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.
 
Loans: Fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. This analysis assumes no prepayment. Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
 
Mortgage servicing rights: Mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) are the rights of a mortgage servicer to collect mortgage payments and forward them, after deducting a fee, to the mortgage holder. The fair value of servicing rights is estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The fair value of MSR is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. Changes in prepayment speed assumptions generally have the most significant impact on the fair value of our MSR. Generally, as interest rates decline, mortgage loan prepayments accelerate due to increased refinance activity, which results in a decrease in the fair value of MSR. As interest rates rise, mortgage loan prepayments slow down, which results in an increase in the fair value of MSR. Thus, any measurement of the fair value of our MSR is limited by the conditions existing and the assumptions utilized as of a particular point in time, and those assumptions may not be appropriate if they are applied at a different point in time.
 
Deposits and mortgagors’ escrow accounts: The fair values for non-certificate accounts and mortgagors’ escrow accounts are, by definition, equal to the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for certificate accounts are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of time deposits.
 
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase: The carrying amount of repurchase agreements approximates fair value based on the short duration of the agreements.
 
Short-term borrowings: For short-term borrowings maturing within ninety days, carrying values approximate fair values. Fair values of other short-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current incremental borrowing rates in the market for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
 
Long-term debt: The fair values of the Company's advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
 
Accrued interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.
 
Off-balance-sheet instruments: Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. The estimated fair value of off-balance sheet financial instruments at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 was not material.
 
The Company does not measure any liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis.

Also, the Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with GAAP.  These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs, charge-offs, and specific loss allocations of individual assets. The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012 there were no transfers from levels 1, 2, or 3.

The amount of impaired loans represents the carrying value of loans that include adjustments which are based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. The fair value of collateral used by the Company represents the amount expected to be received from the sale of the property, net of selling costs, as determined by an independent, licensed or certified appraiser using observable market data. This data includes information such as selling price of similar properties, expected future cash flows or earnings of the subject property based on current market expectations, as well as relevant legal, physical and economic factors. The Company had no gain or loss on impaired loans for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The Company had a gain of $180,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. These gains/losses were recognized through the provision for loan losses. The Company charges off any collateral shortfall on collaterally dependent impaired loans. Independent appraisals or tax assessments are obtained and updated as required for commercial real estate and residential real estate loans that are considered impaired and collateral dependent.  Losses applicable to certain impaired loans are estimated using the appraised or assessed value adjusted for market related discounts associated with foreclosure auctions, short sales, inventory of like properties, general liquidity in the market place as well as selling and disposal costs.  These considerations are applied on a case by case basis. 

The Company classifies property acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure as other real estate owned (“OREO”) in its consolidated financial statements. When property is placed into OREO, it is recorded at the fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure or acceptance of deed in lieu of foreclosure. At the time of transfer to OREO, any excess of carrying value over fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Management, or its designee, inspects all OREO property periodically. Holding costs and declines in fair value result in charges to expense after the property is acquired. The Company had a $12,000 gain on the sale of OREO for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The Company did not have any gains or losses on OREO for the three months ended September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2012 and 2011, the amount of other real estate owned represents the carrying value and related charge-offs for which adjustments are based on current appraised value of the collateral or, where current appraised value is not obtained, management’s discounted estimate of the collateral. 

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are exempt from disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

Management conducts, at least on a quarterly basis, a review of our investment securities to determine if the value of any security has declined below its cost or amortized cost and whether such decline represents other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”).
 
At September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, no marketable equity securities had unrealized losses.
 
At September 30, 2012, eleven debt securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 0.6% from the Company's amortized cost basis. In analyzing an issuer's financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analyst's reports. Because the majority of these securities have been issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies and as management has not decided to sell these securities, nor is it likely that the Company will be required to sell these securities, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary. At September 30, 2012, we held six securities issued by private mortgage originators that had unrealized losses which had an amortized cost of $1.2 million and a fair value of $1.2 million. All of these investments are “Senior” Class tranches and have underlying credit enhancement. Management estimates the loss projections for each security by evaluating the industry rating, amount of delinquencies, amount of foreclosure, amount of other real estate owned, average credit scores, average amortized loan to value and credit enhancement.  Based on this review, management determines whether credit losses have occurred. Management has determined that no credit losses have occurred as of September 30, 2012.

Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The analysis of the allowance for loan losses has two components: specific and general allocations, which are further described below.
 
Specific allocation
 
Specific allocations are made for loans determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or fair value of collateral for collateral dependent loans. The Company charges off any collateral shortfall on collaterally dependent impaired loans.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are generally placed on non-accrual status either when there is reasonable doubt as to the full collection of payments or when the loans become 90 days past due unless an evaluation clearly indicates that the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral, adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses, if the loan is collateral dependent.
 
The Company may periodically agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a TDR. All TDRs are initially classified as impaired and may be evaluated for removal from impaired status after one year of current payments for a modified loan with a market rate.

General allocation
 
The general allocation is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan and payment history. Consideration is given to historical loss experience and qualitative factors such as delinquency trends, changes in underwriting standards or lending policies, procedures and practices, experience and depth of management and lending staff, and general economic conditions. This analysis establishes loss factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general allocations. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revisions based upon changes in economic and real estate market conditions. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance for loan losses that have been established which could have a material negative effect on financial results. There were no changes in the Company’s policies or methodology pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses during the three months ended September 30, 2012.
 
On a quarterly basis, management’s Loan Review Committee reviews the current status of various loan assets in order to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In this evaluation process specific loans with risk ratings of six or higher are analyzed to determine their potential risk of loss. This process concentrates on non-accrual and classified loans. Any loan determined to be impaired is evaluated for potential loss exposure. Any shortfall results in a charge-off if the likelihood of loss is evaluated as probable. The Company’s policy for charging off uncollectible loans is based on an analysis of the financial condition of the borrower and/or the collateral value. To determine the adequacy of collateral on a particular loan, an estimate of the fair market value of the collateral is based on the most current appraised value, discounted cash flow valuation or other available information.
 
The qualitative factors are assessed based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:
 
Residential real estate – The Company generally does not originate loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80 percent unless there is private mortgage insurance. All loans in this segment are collateralized by 1-4 family residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.
 
Commercial real estate – Loans in this segment are primarily income-producing properties throughout Massachusetts and Connecticut. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties can be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by increased vacancy rates, which in turn, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Management requires annual borrower financial statements, obtains rent rolls annually and continually monitors the cash flows of these loans.
 
Home equity loans - Loans in this segment are secured by first or second mortgages on 1-4 family owner occupied properties, and are generally underwritten in amounts such that the combined first and second mortgage balances generally do not exceed 85% of the value of the property serving as collateral at time of origination. The lines-of-credit are available to be drawn upon for 10 to 20 years, at the end of which time they become term loans amortized over 5 to 10 years. Interest rates on home equity lines normally adjust based on the month-end prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal.
 
Residential construction loans – Loans in this segment primarily include construction to permanent non-speculative real estate loans. All loans in this segment are collateralized by 1-4 family residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.
 
             Commercial construction loans – Loans in this segment primarily include construction to permanent non-speculative real estate loans. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties may be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy, which in turn, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.
 
Commercial loans – Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by assets of the business. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. A weakened economy may have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Automobile and other secured loans – Loans in this segment include consumer non-real estate secured loans that the Company originates as well as automobile loans that the Company purchases from a third party. The Company has the ability to select the automobile loans it purchases based on its own underwriting standards.
 
Manufactured home loans – Loans in this segment are secured by first liens on properties located primarily in the Northeast. Repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. The Company has broker funded cash reserve accounts for manufactured home loans that can be used for pre-payments and losses. These reserve accounts totaled $499,000 at September 30, 2012 and $601,000 at June 30, 2012 and are included in deposit accounts.
 
Other consumer loans – Loans in this segment are generally unsecured and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.

Credit Quality Information

The Company utilizes a nine grade internal loan rating system for all loans as follows:

Loans rated 1 – 5: Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.

Loans rated 6: 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 7: 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.

Loans rated 8: 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 9: Loans in this category are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted. These loans are generally charged off at each quarter end.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial real estate, commercial construction and commercial loans. The Company engages an independent third-party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process. All credits rated 6 or worse are reviewed on a quarterly basis by management and semi-annually a statistically significant percentage is reviewed by a third party. At origination, management assigns risk ratings to 1-4 family residential loans, home equity loans, residential construction loans, manufactured home loans, and other consumer loans. The Company updates these risk ratings as needed based primarily on delinquency, bankruptcy, or tax delinquency.

The remaining $4.8 million of impaired loans, all of which are current with payments, are loans that the Company believes, based on current information and events, that it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Of the $17.2 million of impaired loans, $14.4 million, or 83.8%, are current with all payment terms. As of June 30, 2012, the $17.1 million of impaired loans included $2.3 million of non-accrual loans and $9.6 million of accruing troubled debt restructured loans. The remaining $5.2 million of impaired loans are loans that the Company believes, based on current information and events, that it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

The Company has transferred a portion of its originated commercial real estate and commercial loans to participating lenders. The amounts transferred have been accounted for as sales and are therefore not included in the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company and participating lenders share ratably in any gains or losses that may result from a borrower’s lack of compliance with contractual terms of the loan. The Company continues to service the loans on behalf of the participating lenders and, as such, collects cash payments from the borrowers, remits payments (net of servicing fees) to participating lenders and disburses required escrow funds to relevant parties. At September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, the Company was servicing loans for participants aggregating $30.9 million and $28.4 million, respectively.

9. Equity Incentive Plan
 
Stock Options
 
Under the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), approved by the Company’s stockholders at a special stockholder meeting on January 29, 2008, the Company may grant stock options to its directors, employees, and consultants for up to 794,987 shares of common stock. Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be granted under the Plan. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, 35,000 stock options with an exercise price of $12.51 per share were awarded to certain employees. The vesting period for these options is five years from date of grant. The fair value of the options granted is $3.34 and was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. As of September 30, 2012, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to these nonvested options amounted to $113,137.
 
Stock Awards
 
Under the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may grant stock awards to its directors, employees and consultants for up to 317,996 shares of common stock. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, 3,000 shares of restricted stock were awarded with a grant date fair value of $12.51 per share to the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Lending Officer that vest over a five year period.  The fair market value of the stock awards, based on the market price at grant date, is recorded as unearned compensation. Unearned compensation is amortized over the applicable vesting period. As of September 30, 2012, there was $36,279 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to these nonvested stock awards.

This section is intended to help investors understand the financial performance of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, through a discussion of the factors affecting our financial condition at  September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 and our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements herein constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the beliefs and expectations of management, as well as the assumptions made using information currently available to management. Since these statements reflect the views of management concerning future events, these statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. As a result, actual results may differ from those contemplated by these statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words like "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", and "intend" or future or conditional verbs such as "will", "would", "should", "could", or "may." Certain factors that could have a material adverse affect on the operations Hampden Bank include, but are not limited to, increased competitive pressure among financial service companies, national and regional economic conditions, changes in interest rates, changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve Board, adverse changes in the securities markets, inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to Hampden Bank, changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, future events or otherwise. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain important factors, including those set forth below under Item 2 –“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, including the section titled Item 1A –“Risk Factors”. You should carefully review those factors and also carefully review the risks outlined in other documents that the Company files from time to time with the SEC.  The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
We consider accounting policies that require management to exercise significant judgment or discretion, or make significant assumptions that have or could have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, or related disclosures, to be critical accounting policies.  
 
Management believes that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our Board.

Allowance for Loan Losses
 
Critical Estimates. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
 
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
 
The analysis of the allowance for loan losses has two components: specific and general allocations, which are described on page 17.

Judgment and Uncertainties. The qualitative factors are assessed based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are described on page 18.
 
Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. Although we believe we have established and maintained the allowance for loan losses at adequate levels, additions may be necessary if the current operating environment deteriorates. Management uses the best information available; however, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and short-term change. In addition, the FDIC and the Massachusetts Division of Banks, as an integral part of their examination process, will periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

 
26

 
 
Income Taxes
 
Critical Estimates. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled.   Management reviews the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis to identify any uncertainties to the collectability of the components of the deferred tax asset.
 
Judgment and Uncertainties. In determining the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, we use historical and forecasted operating results, based upon approved business plans, including a review of the eligible carryforward periods, tax planning opportunities and other relevant considerations. Management believes that the accounting estimate related to the valuation allowance is a critical accounting estimate because the underlying assumptions can change from period to period. For example, tax law changes or variances in future projected operating performance could result in a change in the valuation allowance.
 
Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. Should actual factors and conditions differ materially from those used by management, the actual realization of net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities could differ materially from the amounts recorded in the financial statements. If we were not able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to our deferred tax assets valuation allowance would be charged to income tax expense in the period such determination was made and would have a negative impact on the company’s earnings. In addition, if actual factors and conditions differ materially from those used by management, the Company could incur penalties and interest imposed by the Internal Revenue Service.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012
 
Overview
 
Total Assets. The Company’s total assets increased $30.2 million, or 4.9%, from $616.0 million at June 30, 2012 to $646.2 million at September 30, 2012. Securities decreased $2.1 million, or 1.5%, to $141.7 million and cash and cash equivalents increased $18.5 million, or 66.2%, to $46.4 million at September 30, 2012. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was due to some large deposit inflows that the Company received towards the end of the quarter that were temporarily put into cash equivalents. Net loans, including loans held for sale, increased $13.8 million, or 3.4%, to $421.1 million at September 30, 2012.

Investment Activities. The composition and fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio is included in Note 7 to the Company’s accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Securities available for sale decreased $2.1 million to $141.7 million at September 30, 2012. There was a decrease in the fair value of residential mortgage backed securities of $2.1 million that was partially offset by an increase of $155,000 in the fair value of corporate bonds during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Net Loans. The composition of the Company’s loan portfolio is included in Note 8 to the Company’s accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The increases in commercial real estate, commercial, and commercial construction loans were due to the Company’s increased emphasis on obtaining commercial lending relationships. There was a $2.1 million increase primarily in first lien home equity loans due to a special promotion that the Company is currently running. Due to interest rate risk, the Company is currently selling all of its long-term fixed rate mortgages.

During the origination of fixed rate mortgages, each loan is analyzed to determine if the loan will be sold into the secondary market or held in portfolio. The Company retains servicing for loans sold to Fannie Mae and earns a fee equal to 0.25% of the loan amount outstanding for providing these services.  Loans which the Company originates to the standards of the buyer, which may differ from the Company’s underwriting standards, are generally sold to a third party along with the servicing rights without recourse. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, loans sold totaled $6.1 million. Of the $6.1 million of loans sold, $2.1 million were sold on a servicing-released basis, and $4.0 million were sold on a servicing-retained basis.

Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status either when reasonable doubt exists as to the full collection of interest and principal or when a loan becomes 90 days past due, unless an evaluation clearly indicates that the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loans. From June 30, 2012 to September 30, 2012, residential mortgage non-performing loans have increased $262,000; consumer, including home equity and manufactured homes, non-performing loans have increased $219,000; and commercial non-performing loans have increased $46,000. At September 30, 2012, the Company had fourteen TDRs totaling approximately $10.2 million, of which $689,000 is on non-accrual status. All loans that are modified and a concession granted by the Company in light of the borrower’s financial difficulty are considered a TDR and are classified as impaired loans by the Company. The interest income recorded from these loans amounted to approximately $131,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012, the Company had fourteen TDRs consisting of commercial and mortgage loans totaling approximately $10.3 million, of which $698,000 was on non-accrual status. The interest income recorded from the restructured loans amounted to approximately $689,000 for the year ended June 30, 2012.

As of September 30, 2012, loans on non-accrual status totaled $2.8 million which consisted of $1.5 million in loans that were 90 days or greater past due, $1.1 million in loans that are current or less than 30 days past due and $215,000 in loans that are 30-89 days past due. It is the Company’s policy to keep loans on non-accrual status subsequent to becoming current until the borrower can demonstrate their ability to make payments according to their loan terms for six months. As of September 30, 2012, 1-4 family residential non-accrual loans less than 90 days past due were $783,000, commercial real estate non-accrual loans less than 90 days past due were $215,000, commercial non-accrual loans less than 90 days past due were $163,000, home equity second lien non-accrual loans less than 90 days past due were $92,000 and home equity first lien non-accrual loans less than 90 days past due were $61,000.  All non-accrual loans, TDRs, and loans with risk ratings of six or higher are assessed by the Company for impairment.

In the normal course of business, the Company may modify a loan for a credit-worthy borrower where the modified loan is not considered a TDR. In these cases, the modified terms are consistent with loan terms available to credit worthy borrowers and within normal loan pricing. The modifications to such loans are done according to our existing underwriting standards. These modified loans are not considered impaired loans by the Company.

Non-accrual loans, including modified loans, return to accrual status once the borrower has shown the ability and an acceptable history of repayment. The borrower must be current with their payments in accordance with the loan terms for six months. The Company may also return a loan to accrual status if the borrower evidences sufficient cash flow to service the debt and provides additional collateral to support the collectability of the loan. For non-accrual and impaired loans that make payments, the Company recognizes cash interest payments as interest income when the Company does not have a collateral shortfall for the loan and the loan has not been charged off. If there is a collateral shortfall for the loan or it has been charged off, then the Company applies the entire payment to the principal balance on the loan.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, the collateral, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate and any change in present value is recorded within the provision for loan loss. Impaired loans increased slightly to $17.2 million at September 30, 2012 from $ 17.1 million at June 30, 2012. The Company established specific reserves aggregating $207,000 and $222,000 for impaired loans at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively.  Such reserves relate to five impaired loan relationships with a carrying value of $9.3 million, and are based on management’s analysis of the expected cash flows for troubled debt restructurings as of September 30, 2012.

We believe that the determination of our allowance for loan losses, including amounts required for impaired loans, is consistent with generally accepted accounting principles and current regulatory guidance. While the Company believes that it has established adequate specifically allocated and general allowances for losses on loans, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if future conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the evaluations. In addition, as an integral part of their examination process, the Company’s regulators periodically review the allowance for loan losses. These regulatory agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination, thereby negatively affecting the Company’s financial condition and earnings. It is also possible that, in this current economic environment, additional loans will become impaired in future periods.

The Company classifies property acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure as OREO in its consolidated financial statements. When property is placed into OREO, it is recorded at the fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure or acceptance of deed in lieu of foreclosure. At the time of transfer to OREO, any excess of carrying value over fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Management, or its designee, inspects all OREO property periodically. Holding costs and declines in fair value result in charges to expense after the property is acquired. At September 30, 2012, the Company had fourteen properties with a carrying value of $1.6 million classified as OREO. Two of these properties were commercial real estate properties valued at $425,000, one property was a commercial property valued at $342,000, one property was a 1-4 family residential property valued at $109,000 and one property was a commercial construction project valued at $218,000. Eight properties were manufactured homes valued at $241,000 in aggregate. Any losses on the manufactured housing portfolio would first impact the broker funded cash reserve specifically maintained for manufactured housing loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The following table sets forth the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated. The activity in the Company’s allowance for loan losses is included in Note 8 to the Company’s accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

It is the Company’s policy to classify all non-accrual loans as impaired loans. All impaired loans are measured on a loan-by -loan basis to determine if any specific allowance is required for the allowance for loan loss by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the impaired loan has a shortfall in the expected future cash flows then a specific allowance will be placed on the loan in that amount. However, the Company may consider collateral values where it feels there is greater risk and the expected future cash flow allowance is not sufficient. Residential, commercial real estate and construction loans are secured by real estate. Except for one, all commercial loans are secured by all business assets and many also include primary or secondary mortgage positions on business and/or personal real estate. The other commercial loan is secured by shares of stock of a subsidiary to a borrower.

When calculating the general allowance component of the allowance for loan losses, the Company analyzes the trend in delinquencies, among other things. If there is an increase in the amount of delinquent loans in a particular loan category this may cause the Company to increase the general allowance requirement for that loan category. A partial charge-off on a non-performing loan will decrease the amount of non-performing and impaired loans, as well as any specific allowance requirement that loan may have had. This will also decrease our allowance for loan losses, as well as our allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans ratio and our allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio. The Company incorporates historical charge-offs, including the greater of charge-offs recognized in the current quarter, which are annualized, or projected annual charge-offs when calculating the general allowance component of the allowance for loan losses.

Loan Servicing.  In the ordinary course of business, the Company sells real estate loans to the secondary market.  The Company retains servicing on certain loans sold and earns servicing fees of 0.25% per annum based on the monthly outstanding balance of the loans serviced.  The Company recognizes servicing assets each time it undertakes an obligation to service loans sold.  The Company’s mortgage servicing asset valuation is performed by an independent third party using a statistic valuation model representing the projection into the future of a single interest rate/market environment. The projected cash flows are then discounted back to present value. Discount rates, estimate of servicing costs and ancillary income, estimates of float earnings rates and delinquency information as well as an estimate of prepayments are used to calculate the value of the mortgage servicing asset.

There are no recourse provisions for the loans that are serviced for others.  The risks inherent in mortgage servicing assets relate primarily to changes in prepayments that result from shifts in mortgage interest rates. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2012, and 2011, amounts recognized for loan servicing fees amounted to $85,000 and $50,000, respectively, which are included in other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income.  The unpaid principal balance of mortgages serviced for others was $61.4 million and $61.0 million at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively.

Deposits increased $18.1 million, or 4.2%, to $452.9 million at September 30, 2012 from $434.8 million at June 30, 2012. The increase in deposits is due to the Company’s increased focus on obtaining core deposits. The $14.1 million increase in money market accounts was due to an increase in state and local municipality deposits.

Borrowings include advances from the FHLB, as well as securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and have increased $12.6 million, or 14.5%, to $99.6 million at September 30, 2012 from $87.0 million at June 30, 2012. Advances from the FHLB increased $15.1 million and repurchase agreements decreased $2.5 million. The Company used these FHLB borrowings to fund some of its loan demand. In September 2012, the Company restructured $8.6 million of FHLB borrowings. After the restructuring, the weighted average cost of these borrowings was reduced by 1.00% to 2.74%.

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity decreased $128,000, or 0.1%, to $87.0 million at September 30, 2012 from $87.2 million at June 30, 2012. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company repurchased 107,790 shares of Company stock for $1.4 million, at an average price of $12.86 per share pursuant to the Company’s previously announced stock repurchase programs. The Company is currently repurchasing shares under its sixth stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to purchase up to 304,280 shares, or approximately 5%, of the Company’s outstanding common stock. A partial offset to the increase in treasury stock was a $522,000 increase in retained earnings, a $406,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, a $140,000 increase in additional paid in capital and a $106,000 increase in unearned compensation - ESOP. Our ratio of capital to total assets decreased to 13.5% at September 30, 2012 compared to 14.2% at June 30, 2012. The Company’s book value as of September 30, 2012 was $14.85 per share compared to $14.60 per share at June 30, 2012.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011
 
Net Income. The Company had a $225,000 increase in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $761,000, or $0.14 per fully diluted share, as compared to $536,000, or $0.09 per fully diluted share, for the same period in 2011. The provision for loan losses decreased $250,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to decreases in non-accrual and impaired loans and continued improvement in general economic conditions. The Company had an increase in net interest income of $143,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the three month period ended September 30, 2012, interest expense decreased by $176,000, or 11.1%, compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2011. This decrease in interest expense included a decrease in deposit interest expense of $207,000 due to a decrease in rates offset by an increase in borrowing interest expense of $31,000 due to an increase in balances. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had a gain on the sale of loans of $195,000 compared to $109,000 for the same period in 2011, which contributed to the $145,000 increase in total non-interest income. Due to interest rate risk, the Company has decided to sell the majority of its current originations of long-term fixed rate mortgages. Non-interest expense increased $100,000, or 2.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 due to increases in data processing services, FDIC insurance expense, and debit card losses. Our combined federal and state effective tax rate was 39.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 34.2% for the same period in 2011.

Analysis of Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them.

The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. All average balances are daily average balances. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred costs, and discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense. The Company does not accrue interest on loans on non-accrual status; however, the balance of these loans is included in the total average balance, which has the effect of lowering average loan yields.

Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $33,000, or 0.5%, to $6.2 million over the same period of 2011. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, average outstanding loans increased $17.9 million, or 4.5%, from the average for the three month period ended September 30, 2011. The average yield on interest earning assets decreased 38 basis points to 4.30% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to 4.68% for the same period in 2011. Due to interest rate risk, the Company has decided to sell the majority of its current originations of long-term fixed rate mortgages.

    Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $176,000, or 11.1%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in rates of deposits and borrowings and a decrease in the average balance of certificates of deposits, which was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of borrowed funds. The average cost of funds decreased to 1.22% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of 30 basis points from a cost of funds of 1.52% for the same period in 2011. The decrease in the cost of funds is partially due to the result of the current low interest rate environment as well as an increase in transaction and money market deposit accounts. In September 2012, the Company restructured $8.6 million of Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston borrowings. After the restructuring, the weighted average cost of these borrowings was reduced by 1.00% to 2.74%. The decrease in the cost of funds is also due to the restructuring of these borrowings with the lower rates in effect for the quarter.

   Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $4.8 million, an increase of $143,000 or 3.1%, over the same period of 2011. This was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense of $176,000 for the three months September 30, 2012 over the same period in 2011. The decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease of 30 basis points in the average cost of funds for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. There was a $33,000, or 0.5%, decrease in interest and dividend income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company’s provision for loan loss expense was $50,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $300,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The decrease in the provision was due to decreases in delinquent loans, including non-accrual loans, and declining impaired loans compared to September 30, 2011 and continued improvement in general economic conditions.  As of September 30, 2012, the Company’s total allowance for loan losses of $5.2 million increased from $5.1 million at June 30, 2012. The allowance for loan losses decreased to 1.22% of total loans as of September 30, 2012 compared to 1.44% of total loans as of September 30, 2011 due to decreases in the provision and charge-offs. However, the allowance for loan losses covers 184.12% of our non-performing loans at September 30, 2012 compared to 97.09% at September 30, 2011.

Non-interest Income. Total non-interest income totaled $966,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $145,000 from the same period a year ago. There was an increase on the gain on sales of loans, net of $86,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period a year ago. There were also increases in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance of $36,000 and customer service fees of $12,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
 
Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $100,000, or 2.3%, to $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period for 2011. There was an increase in other general and administrative expenses, including debit card losses and increased legal expense, of $135,000, an increase in data processing services of $45,000 and an increase in FDIC insurance expense of $20,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period a year ago. The increase in these expenses was partially offset by decreases in advertising expenses of $75,000; a decrease in occupancy and equipment of $13,000; and a  net gain on other real estate owned of $12,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period a year ago.
 
Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased $213,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period for 2011. Our combined federal and state effective tax rate was 39.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 34.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2011due to a higher level of earnings in the bank.
 
Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements. As of September 30, 2012, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized Hampden Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes has changed Hampden Bank’s category. The Company’s and Bank’s capital amounts and ratios (unaudited) as of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 are presented in the following table.

Liquidity Risk Management. Liquidity risk, or the risk to earnings and capital arising from an organization’s inability to meet its obligations without incurring unacceptable losses, is managed by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, who monitors on a daily basis the adequacy of the Company’s liquidity position. Oversight is provided by the Asset/Liability Committee, which reviews the Company’s liquidity on a monthly basis, and by the Board of Directors of the Company, which reviews the adequacy of our liquidity resources on a quarterly basis.
 
The Company’s primary sources of funds are from deposits, amortization of loans, prepayments and the maturity of mortgage-backed securities and other investments, and other funds provided by operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing loans and investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments can be greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We maintain excess funds in cash and short-term interest-bearing assets that provide additional liquidity. At September 30, 2012, cash and cash equivalents totaled $46.4 million, or 7.2% of total assets. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was due to some large deposit inflows that the Company received towards the end of the quarter that were temporarily put into cash equivalents.
 
The Company also relies on outside borrowings from the FHLB as an additional funding source. The Company uses FHLB borrowings to fund growth in the balance sheet and to assist in the management of its interest rate risk by match funding longer term fixed rate loans.

The Company uses it’s liquidity to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and borrowings, to fund other deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets and to meet operating expenses. The Company anticipates that it will continue to have sufficient funds and alternative funding sources to meet its commitments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The following table presents certain information about the Company’s loan commitments and other contingencies outstanding as of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk during the three months ended September 30, 2012. See the discussion and analysis of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk provided in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 for a general discussion of the qualitative aspects of market risk and discussion of the simulation model used by the Company to measure its interest rate risk.

 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply this judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
