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. Hampden Bancorp, Inc. 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 two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hampden Investment Corporation, which engages 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 December 31, 2009 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, 2009 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 10, 2009.

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, deferred income taxes, the valuation of other real estate owned, and other than temporary impairment of investment securities.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance designed to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. This statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within the first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of the statement are to be applied to transfers that occur on or after the effective date. This statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance establishing the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP.  Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 168 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-05 (ASU 2009-5) which provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques:

1.   A valuation technique that uses:

·   The quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset

·   Quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets

2.   Another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820.  Two examples would be an income approach, such as a present value technique, or a market approach, such as a technique that is based on the amount at the measurement date that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the identical liability or would receive to enter into the identical liability.

ASU 2009-5 also clarifies that:

·   When estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability; and

·   That both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements.

This guidance is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance, which was October 1, 2009 for the Company and did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

8

In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-16 (ASU 2009-16) which improves financial reporting by eliminating the exceptions for qualifying special-purpose entities from the consolidation guidance and the exception that permitted sale accounting for certain mortgage securitizations when a transferor has not surrendered control over the transferred financial assets. In addition, the amendments require enhanced disclosures about the risks that a transferor continues to be exposed to because of its continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Comparability and consistency in accounting for transferred financial assets will also be improved through clarifications of the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting. The pending content that links to this paragraph shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. This Update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06) which improves disclosure requirements related to Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This Update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that require new disclosures as follows:

1. Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers.

2. Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number).

This Update also provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarify existing disclosures as follows:

1. Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities.

2. Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall into either Level 2 or Level 3.

The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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.

9

Earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 have been computed as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,		Six Months Ended December 31,
	2009	2008	2009	2008
Net income (loss) applicable to common stock (in thousands)	$(670)	$190	$(832)	$237
Average number of shares issued	7,949,879	7,949,879	7,949,879	7,949,879
Less: average unallocated ESOP shares	(515,748)	(559,881)	(521,066)	(563,462)
Less: average treasury stock	(666,702)	(267,010)	(617,773)	(138,989)
Less: average unvested restricted stock awards	(252,167)	(317,996)	(252,167)	(317,996)
Average number of basic shares outstanding	6,515,262	6,804,992	6,558,873	6,929,432
Plus: dilutive unvested restricted stock awards	-	45,094	-	41,260
Plus: dilutive stock option shares	-	-	-	-
Average number of diluted shares outstanding	6,515,262	6,850,086	6,558,873	6,970,692
Basic earnings (loss) per share	$(0.10)	$0.03	$(0.13)	$0.03
Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$(0.10)	$0.03	$(0.13)	$0.03

There were 595,000 stock options for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 that were excluded from the diluted earnings per share because their effect is anti-dilutive. There were 317,996 shares of restricted stock at December 31, 2009 that were excluded from the diluted earnings per share because their effect is anti-dilutive.

4. Dividends

On October 29, 2009, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.03 per common share which was paid on November 25, 2009 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 10, 2009.

On February 2, 2010, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.03 per common share which is payable on February 26, 2010 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 12, 2010.

5. Loan Commitments and other Contingencies

Outstanding loan commitments and other contingencies totaled $67.6 million at December 31, 2009, compared to $82.0 million as of June 30, 2009. Loan commitments and other contingencies 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 Financial 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; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that 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.

10

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 short-term investments approximate fair values.

Securities available for sale: The securities measured at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are government-sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities and common stocks. 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.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock: The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates fair value based upon the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Loans held for sale: Fair value of loans held for sale are 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. In the ordinary course of business, the Company sells real estate loans to the secondary market.

Mortgage servicing rights: Mortgage servicing rights are the rights of a Mortgage Servicer to collect mortgage payments and forward them, after deducting a fee, to the mortgage lender. The fair value of servicing rights is estimated using a present value 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: The fair values for non-certificate accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount 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 on time deposits.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase: The carrying amount of repurchase agreements approximates fair value.

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 December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 was not material.

The following table presents the balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2009:

 Also, the Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets 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 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 as of December 31, 2009.

				Gains (Losses)	Gains (Losses)
				Three Months Ended	Six Months Ended
	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	December 31, 2009	December 31, 2009

Other real estate owned	-	-	933	-	-
Total assets	$-	$-	$6,651	$(1,507)	$(1,887)

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 resulting loss was recognized in earnings through the provision for loan loss.

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. The estimated fair values, and related carrying or notional amounts, of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

                At December 31, 2009, thirty-three debt securities have unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 3.1% 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 federal 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 December 31, 2009, we held 24 securities issued by private mortgage originators that had an amortized cost of $11.6 million and a fair value of $11.2 million. All of these investments are “Senior” Class tranches and have underlying credit enhancement.  These securities were originated in the period 2002-2005 and are performing in accordance with contractual terms. The majority of the decrease in the fair value of these securities is attributed to changes in market interest rates.  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 other-than-temporary impairment existed. Management has determined that no other-than-temporary impairment existed as of December 31, 2009. We will continue to evaluate these securities for other-than-temporary impairment, which could result in a future non-cash charge to earnings.

                At December 31, 2009, eleven marketable equity securities have unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 25.0% from the Company's cost basis. The majority of these unrealized losses relate principally to the banking, retail, healthcare, and insurance industries. Although the issuers have shown declines in earnings as a result of the weakened economy, no credit issues have been identified that would cause management to believe the declines in market value are other than temporary. In analyzing the issuer's financial condition, management considers industry analysts’ reports and financial performance. Because management has the intent and ability to hold equity securities for a reasonable period for recovery, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

                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”). There were no impairment charges related to OTTI securities for the six months ended December 31, 2009. The Company recorded a loss of $204,000 for four marketable equity securities that the Company considered to be OTTI securities for the six months ended December 31, 2008.

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 and our ability to successfully implement our branch expansion strategy. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. 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.

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.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Investment Securities.

    Critical Estimates. One of the significant estimates related to available for sale securities is the evaluation of investments for other-than-temporary impairment. If a decline in the fair value of an equity security is judged to be other-than-temporary, a charge is recorded equal to the difference between the fair value and cost or amortized cost basis of the security. Following such write-down in value, the fair value of the other-than-temporarily impaired investment becomes its new cost basis.

 In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses for equity securities, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. For those debt securities for which the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost and the Company does not intend to sell such security and it is likely that it will not be required to sell such security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis less any credit losses, GAAP requires that the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment losses be recognized in earnings while the noncredit component is recognized in other comprehensive loss, net of related taxes. For all impaired debt securities that the Company intends to sell, or more likely than not will be required to sell, the full amount of the depreciation in value is recognized in earnings.

Judgment and Uncertainties. The evaluation of securities for impairment is a quantitative and qualitative process, which is subject to risks and uncertainties and is intended to determine whether declines in the fair value of investments should be recognized in current period earnings. The risks and uncertainties include changes in general economic conditions, the issuer’s financial condition or future prospects, the effects of changes in interest rates or credit spreads and the expected recovery period. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation.

Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. If actual results are not consistent with management’s estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to a other-than-temporary impairment loss that could be material and could have a negative impact on the company’s earnings.

Allowance for loan losses

                 Critical Estimates. The allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered necessary to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses that is charged against income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, we make significant estimates and therefore, have identified the allowance as a critical accounting policy. The methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy by management because of the high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions used, and the potential for changes in the economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded allowance for loan losses.

16

                 The allowance for loan losses has been determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, under which we are required to maintain an allowance for probable losses at the balance sheet date. We are responsible for the timely and periodic determination of the amount of the allowance required. We believe that our allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover specifically identifiable losses, as well as estimated losses inherent in our portfolio for which certain losses are probable but not specifically identifiable.

                 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. Specific allocations are made for loans determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. The general allocation is determined by segregating the remaining loans, by type of loan. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, changes in our underwriting standards as well as in lending policies, procedures and practices, experience and depth of management and lending staff, general economic conditions, and industry conditions. This analysis establishes 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 we have established which could have a material negative effect on our financial results.

                 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 are analyzed to determine their potential risk of loss. This process includes all loans, concentrating on non-accrual and classified loans. Any loan determined to be impaired is evaluated for potential loss exposure. Any shortfall results in a recommendation of a specific allowance if the likelihood of loss is evaluated as probable. 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 results of this quarterly process are summarized by, and appropriate recommendations and loan loss allowances are approved by, the Loan Review Committee. All supporting documentation with regard to the evaluation process, loan loss experience, allowance levels and the schedules of classified loans are maintained by the Company. The Committee is chaired by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The allowance for loan loss calculation is presented to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis with recommendations on its adequacy.

                 Our allowance for loan losses reflects probable losses considering, among other things, the actual growth and change in composition of our loan portfolio, the level of our non-performing loans and our charge-off experience. We believe the allowance for loan losses reflects the inherent credit risk in our portfolio.

                 Judgment and Uncertainties. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses by analyzing and estimating losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance for loan losses contains uncertainties because the calculation requires management to use historical information as well as current economic data to make judgments on the adequacy of the allowance. This evaluation requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

                 Our primary lending emphasis has been the origination and purchase of residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate mortgages and commercial and industrial credits. We also originate home equity loans and home equity lines of credit. As a local community bank within a small footprint, these activities result in a loan concentration in mortgages secured by real property located in Western Massachusetts and northern Connecticut. Based on the composition of our loan portfolio, we believe the primary risks to loan losses are increases in interest rates, a decline in the general economy, and a decline in real estate market values and values of local businesses in Western Massachusetts. Any one or combination of these events may adversely affect our loan portfolio resulting in increased delinquencies, loan losses and future levels of loan loss provisions. As a substantial amount of our loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate, appraisals of the underlying value of property securing loans are critical in determining the amount of the allowance required for specific loans. Assumptions for appraisal valuations are instrumental in determining the value of properties. Overly optimistic assumptions or negative changes to assumptions could significantly impact the valuation of a property securing a loan and the related allowance determined. The assumptions supporting such appraisals are carefully reviewed by the Company to determine that the resulting values reasonably reflect amounts realizable on the related loans.

 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 continues or 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 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Massachusetts Department of Banking, as an integral part of their examination process, will periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Income taxes

Critical Estimates. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled.   Quarterly, management reviews the deferred tax asset to identify any uncertainties to the collectability of the components of the deferred tax asset.

17

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, and adjustment to our deferred tax assets valuation allowance would be charged to income tax expense in the period such determination was made and could 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.

Other Real Estate Owned

Critical Estimates. Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) consists of all real estate, other than Company premises, actually owned or controlled by the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, including real estate acquired through foreclosure, even if the Company has not yet received title to the property.  OREO also includes certain direct and indirect investments in real estate ventures, property originally acquired for future expansion but no longer intended to be used for that purpose, and foreclosed real estate sold under contract and accounted for under the deposit method of accounting under FASB guidance.

The Company is permitted to acquire and hold real property used in the operation of the Company or as the Company may acquire (by foreclosure or other transfer in lieu of foreclosure) in satisfaction of all or a part of a loan or in satisfaction of a judgment or decree in its favor.  If the Company acquires real property by foreclosure or other transfer in lieu of foreclosure, it carries such real property on its books as OREO.  OREO acquired by the Company is subject to certain regulatory requirements that limit the time such property can be held by the Company, require that information regarding the property be reported to the Company’s federal regulator, subject the acquisition of such property to federal appraisal requirements, restrict the use of such property, and govern the treatment of any disposal of the property. It is the policy of the Company to sell any real property acquired through the collection of debts due it within a reasonable period of time.  During the time that the Company holds the real property, the Company shall charge-off the real property based upon the current appraised value of the property.

GAAP provides that foreclosed real estate received in full satisfaction of a loan, provided that the real estate will be sold, is to be booked at the time of foreclosure at its fair value less cost to sell.  This amount becomes the “cost” of the foreclosed real estate.  According to FASB guidance, costs to sell are the incremental direct costs to transact a sale, which include broker commissions, legal and title transfer fees, and closing costs that must be incurred before legal title can be transferred.  When foreclosed real estate is received in full satisfaction of a loan, the amount, if any, by which the recorded amount of the loan exceeds the fair value less cost to sell the property, the difference is a loss which must be charged to the Bank’s allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure.  The recorded amount of the loan at the time of foreclosure is the unpaid balance of the defaulted loan adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount and unamortized loan fees or costs, less any amount previously charged off, plus recorded accrued interest.  The amount of any senior debt (principal and accrued interest) to which foreclosed real estate is subject at the time of foreclosure must be reported as a liability in the Financial Statements as “other borrowed money."  If the fair value (less cost to sell) of the property exceeds the recorded amount of the loan, the excess is to be reported as a recovery of a previous charge-off or in current earnings, as appropriate.  Real estate received in partial satisfaction of a loan is to be similarly accounted for and the recorded amount of the loan is to be reduced by the fair value (less cost to sell) of the asset received at the time of foreclosure.  Legal fees and other direct costs incurred by the Bank in a foreclosure are to be included in expenses when they are incurred.

FASB guidance, which applies to all transactions in which the seller provides financing to the buyer of real estate, establishes five methods to account for the disposition of OREO. If a profit is involved in the sale of real estate, each method sets forth the manner in which the profit is to be recognized based on the terms of the sale.  However, regardless of which method is used, any loss on the disposition of OREO is to be recognized immediately.

Judgment and Uncertainties. The Company obtains a new or updated valuation of OREO at the time of acquisition, including periodic reappraisals (at least annually) thereafter to ensure any material change in market conditions or the physical aspects of the property are recognized.  To ensure the general validity of such appraised values, it is the responsibility of loan officers to compare sale prices and appraised values of properties previously held for their respective portfolio.  Each parcel of OREO is to be reviewed and classified by loan officers on its own merits.  The sale of OREO is also supported by this appraisal. A careful evaluation of all the relevant factors should enable the loan officer to make an accurate and reliable judgment with regard to classification.  Any portion of the carrying value in excess of appraised value should be classified as a loss.  The remaining book value should then be evaluated and adversely classified, if appropriate.

18

Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions.  Should any subsequent appraisals of the property indicate that a decrease in value has occurred since the initial acquisition, one of the following actions should be taken:

   1.   A write down of the recorded investment (book value) to market value be taken; or

2.   An addition to the valuation reserve in an amount equal to or greater than the excess of recorded investment over market value should be established.

Commercial real estate loans increased $10.6 million, or 8.3%, to $138.2 million, commercial loans increased $7.8 million, or 20.1%, to $46.8 million, and home equity loans increased $4.2 million, or 7.2%, to $63.0 million at December 31, 2009. Residential mortgage loans increased $3.2 million, or 2.6%, to $126.4 million, and consumer loans increased by $2.2 million, or 10.0%, to $24.3 million. A partial offset to these increases was a decrease in construction loans of $3.4 million, or 19.6%, to $13.9 million as of December 31, 2009. The decrease in construction loans and increase in commercial real estate loans is partially due to construction loans cycling into commercial real estate loans since most commercial real estate loans are underwritten initially as construction loans with the expectation they will become real estate loans.

Troubled debt restructurings	$542	$-
Ratios:
Non-performing loans to total loans	2.30%	1.01%
Non-performing assets to total assets	1.81%	0.93%

                 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. Non-performing assets totaled $10.4 million, or 1.81% of total assets, at December 31, 2009 compared to $5.3 million, or 0.93% of total assets, at June 30, 2009. There was an increase in commercial non-accrual loans of $4.2 million, of which $3.0 million was due to one loan relationship. There was an increase in residential mortgage non-accrual loans of $694,000, commercial mortgage non-accrual loans of $415,000, consumer non-accrual loans of $172,000 and an increase in construction non-accrual loans of $33,000 at December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2009 the Bank had four troubled debt restructurings (loans for which a portion of interest or principal has been forgiven, or the loans have been modified to lower the interest rate or extend the original term) totaling approximately $542,000. The interest income recorded from these loans amounted to approximately $10,000 and $17,000 for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2009, respectively. There were no troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2009.

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 nature of collateral, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. 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 if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Impaired loans increased to $15.8 million at December 31, 2009 from $ 2.0 million at June 30, 2009 as a result of the continuing economic downturn in the greater Springfield Area , current financial information received from borrowers,  and an internal review of criteria for classifying impaired loans based on current regulatory guidelines.  The Company has established specific reserves aggregating $1.9 million for impaired loans.  Such reserves relate to eight impaired loans with a carrying value of $5.7 million, and are based on management’s analysis of estimated underlying collateral values.

                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. However, a regulatory examination was conducted during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 and it is possible that regulators may make different judgments. It is also possible that, in this current economic environment, additional loans will become impaired in future periods.  

21

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.

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. At December 31, 2009, the Company had four properties worth $933,000 classified as OREO. One of these properties was a commercial real estate property worth $205,000, one property was a commercial construction project totaling $525,000 and one is a residential property worth $203,000. One property is a manufactured home loan worth $21,000, however, there is a specific reserve for the full amount of the loan.

Comparison of Operating Results (unaudited) for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008

Net Income. The Company had a net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2009 of $670,000, or $(0.10) per basic and fully diluted share, as compared to a net profit of $190,000, or $0.03 per basic and fully diluted share, for the same period in 2008. The decrease in net income was primarily due to an increase in the provision for loan losses of $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2008.  The increase in the provision for loan losses is due in large part to our concern primarily over one large lending relationship, in addition to increases in loan delinquencies, increases in non-accrual loans, increases in impaired loans, growth in the loan portfolio, and general economic conditions. There was also an increase in non-interest expense of $302,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2008. The increase in non-interest expense was mainly due to an increase in other general and administrative expenses of $104,000, an increase in advertising expenses of $70,000, an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $60,000, and an increase in occupancy and equipment of $45,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2008. For the three month period ended December 31, 2009, net interest income increased by $417,000 compared to the three month period ended December 31, 2008. Non-interest income, including net gains on sales of securities and loans, increased by $106,000 compared to the three month period ended December 31, 2008.

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 fees, 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.

Net interest income. Net interest incomefor the three months ended December 31, 2009 was $4.5 million, an increase of $417,000 or 10.3%, over the same period of 2008. This was primarily due to a decrease in the average cost of funds of 74 basis points to 2.13% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and an increase in average interest earning assets of $18.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 over the same period in 2008.

Interest income. Interest incomefor the three months ended December 31, 2009 decreased $232,000, or 3.2%, to $7.0 million over the same period of 2008. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of investment securities of $11.9 million, or 9.5%, for the three months ended December 31, 2009. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, average outstanding net loans increased $22.1 million, or 5.8%, from the average for the three month period ended December 31, 2008. The average yield on interest earning assets decreased 37 basis points to 5.23% for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to 5.60% for the same period in 2008.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $649,000, or 20.6%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in rates paid on deposits. The average cost of funds decreased to 2.13% for the three months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of 74 basis points from a cost of funds of 2.87% for the same period in 2008.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company’s provision for loan loss expense was $1.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $308,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008.This increase is primarily due to our concern over one large lending relationship, as well as increases in loan delinquencies, increases in non-accrual loans, increases in impaired loans, growth in the loan portfolio, and general economic conditions. The Company’s total allowance for loan losses increased by $2.3 million, to $6.3 million, or 1.52% of total loans as of December 31, 2009 compared to $3.9 million, or 1.01% of total loans as of December 31, 2008.

Non-interest Income. Total non-interest income totaled $677,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $106,000 from the same period a year ago. This increase is primarily due to an increase in customer service fees of $89,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period a year ago, and a gain on the sale/impairment of securities of $12,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to a loss on the sale/impairment of securities of $63,000 from the same period a year ago.

     Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $302,000, or 7.5%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period for 2008. This increase was largely due to an increase in other general and administrative expenses of $104,000, an increase in advertising expenses of $70,000, an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $60,000, and an increase in occupancy and equipment of $45,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2008.There was also an increase in data processing services of $28,000 as well as an increase in the writedown of other real estate owned of $28,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to such expenses for the same period in 2008.

Net Income. The Company had a net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2009 of $832,000, or $(0.13) per basic and fully diluted share, as compared to a net profit of $237,000, or $0.03 per basic and fully diluted share, for the same period in 2008. The decrease in net income was primarily due to an increase in the provision for loan losses of $1.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2008.  The increase in the provision for loan losses is due to increases in loan delinquencies, increases in non-accrual loans, increases in impaired loans, growth in the loan portfolio, and general economic conditions. There was also an increase in non-interest expense of $899,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2008. The increase in non-interest expense was mainly due to an increase in other general and administrative expenses of $365,000, a write-down of other real estate owned of $253,000, and an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $122,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2008. For the six month period ended December 31, 2009, net interest income increased by $928,000 compared to the six month period ended December 31, 2008. Non-interest income, including net gains on sales of securities and loans, increased by $229,000 compared to the six month period ended December 31, 2008.

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 fees, 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.

Net interest income. Net interest incomefor the six months ended December 31, 2009 was $8.7 million, an increase of $928,000 or 11.9%, over the same period of 2008. This was primarily due to a decrease in the average cost of funds of 75 basis points to 2.22% for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and an increase in average interest earning assets of $17.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009 over the same period in 2008.

Interest income. Interest incomefor the six months ended December 31, 2009 decreased $414,000, or 2.9%, to $13.9 million over the same period of 2008. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of investment securities of $13.2 million, or 10.4%, for the six months ended December 31, 2009. For the six months ended December 31, 2009, average outstanding net loans increased $25.8 million, or 6.9%, from the average for the six month period ended December 31, 2008. The average yield on interest earning assets decreased 34 basis points to 5.25% for the six months ended December 31, 2009, compared to 5.59% for the same period in 2008.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 20.6%, to $5.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in rates of deposits. The average cost of funds decreased to 2.22% for the six months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of 75 basis points from a cost of funds of 2.97% for the same period in 2008.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company’s provision for loan loss expense was $2.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $812,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008.This increase is primarily due to our concern over one large lending relationship, as well as increases in loan delinquencies, increases in non-accrual loans, increases in impaired loans, growth in the loan portfolio, and general economic conditions. The Company’s total allowance for loan losses increased by $2.3 million, to $6.3 million, or 1.52% of total loans as of December 31, 2009 compared to $3.9 million, or 1.01% of total loans as of December 31, 2008.

               Non-interest Income. Total non-interest income totaled $1.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $229,000 from the same period a year ago.

    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, loan prepayments and the maturity of loans, 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 December 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents totaled $28.0 million, or 4.9% of total assets.

    The Company also relies on outside borrowings from the FHLB as an additional funding source. The Company uses FHLB borrowings to fund growth in the balance sheet and to assist in the management of its interest rate risk by match funding longer term fixed rate loans.

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

     Contractual Obligations. The following tables present information indicating various contractual obligations and commitments of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and the respective maturity dates.
