Part I

Item 1.      Business
 
General

Hampden Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation that became the holding company of Hampden Bank (the “Bank”) in 2007, is registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”). The Bank completed its conversion to the holding company structure on January 16, 2007. The information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, the Bank, and Hampden LS, Inc., including the consolidated financial statements and related financial data, relates primarily to the Bank. The Bank has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Hampden Investment Corporation and Hampden Investment Corporation II, both of 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.
Established in 1852 and headquartered in Springfield, Massachusetts, the Bank is a full service, community bank that offers a variety of loan and deposit products from its ten office locations in Springfield, Agawam, Longmeadow, West Springfield, Wilbraham and Indian Orchard, Massachusetts, as well as insurance and investment products through its Financial Services Division, Hampden Financial. The Bank offers customers the latest in internet banking, including on-line banking and bill payment services.
Available Information

The Company makes available free of charge through its website at www.hampdenbank.com its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s reports filed with or furnished to the SEC are also available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into, and does not form any part of, this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Market Area

 
Hampden Bank offers financial products and services designed to meet the financial needs of our customers. Our primary deposit-gathering area is concentrated in the Massachusetts cities and towns of Springfield, West Springfield, Longmeadow, Agawam and Wilbraham. We offer Remote Deposit Capture to our customers, which allows us to expand our deposit gathering outside of our normal deposit area. Our lending area is broader than our deposit-gathering area and primarily includes Hampden, Hampshire, Franklin, and Berkshire Counties of Massachusetts as well as portions of northern Connecticut.
 
The Bank is headquartered in Springfield, Massachusetts. All of the Bank's offices are located in Hampden County. Springfield is the third largest city in Massachusetts, located in south western Massachusetts, 90 miles west of Boston and 30 miles north of Hartford, Connecticut, connected by major interstate highways. A diversified mix of industry groups operate within Hampden County, including manufacturing, health care, higher education, wholesale/retail trade and service. The major employers in the area include MassMutual Financial Group, Baystate Health System, several area universities and colleges, and Big Y supermarkets. The county in which Hampden Bank currently operates includes a mixture of suburban, rural, and urban markets. According to 2010 census data, Hampden Bank's market area is projected to remain substantially unchanged in population and household growth through 2015.

Competition

The Company faces intense competition in attracting deposits and loans from financial institutions and credit unions operating in its market area and, to a lesser extent, from other financial service companies, such as brokerage firms, insurance companies, mortgage companies and mortgage brokers. The Company also faces competition for depositors’ funds from money market funds, mutual funds and other corporate and government securities. Large super-regional banks such as Bank of America, Santander, Citizens and TD Bank operate in the Company’s market area. These institutions have significantly greater resources than the Company. We expect the competition in our market area to continue.


4


The Company’s competition for loans comes primarily from financial institutions in our market areas, and from other financial service providers such as mortgage companies and mortgage brokers. Competition for loans also comes from a number of non-depository financial service companies entering the mortgage market. These include insurance companies, securities companies and specialty finance companies.
 
The Company expects competition to increase in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry. Technological advances, for example, have lowered the barriers to market entry, allowed banks and other lenders to expand their geographic reach by providing services over the Internet and made it possible for non-depository institutions to offer products and services that traditionally have been provided by banks. Changes in federal law permit affiliation among banks, securities firms and insurance companies, which promotes a competitive environment in the financial services industry. Competition for deposits and the origination of loans could limit the Company’s future growth.
 
Lending Activities
 
General. The Company's gross loan portfolio amounted to $510.6 million at June 30, 2014, representing 72.8% of total assets at that date. In its lending activities, the Company originates commercial real estate loans, residential real estate loans secured by one- to four-family residences, residential and commercial construction loans, commercial and industrial loans, home equity lines of credit, fixed rate home equity loans and other personal consumer loans. While the Company makes loans throughout Massachusetts, most of its lending activities are concentrated in Hampden and Hampshire Counties. Loans originated and purchased totaled $191.9 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 (“fiscal 2014”) and $161.1 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”). Residential mortgage loans sold into the secondary market, on a servicing-retained basis, totaled $10.1 million during fiscal 2014 and $22.6 million in fiscal 2013, and residential mortgage loans sold into the secondary market, on a servicing-released basis, totaled $7.7 million during fiscal 2014 and $9.1 million during fiscal 2013. At June 30, 2014, the Company’s largest loan was $8.9 million, and the average balance of the Company’s ten largest loans was $5.8 million.

Commercial Real Estate Loans.  The Company originated $50.8 million and $30.9 million of commercial real estate loans in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively, and had $200.8 million of commercial real estate loans with an average yield of 5.2% in its portfolio as of June 30, 2014, representing 39.31% of the total gross loan portfolio on such date. The Company intends to further grow this segment of its loan portfolio, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of its total loan portfolio.

Interest rates on commercial real estate loans adjust over periods of three, five, or ten years based primarily on Federal Home Loan Bank rates. In general, rates on commercial real estate loans are priced at a spread over Federal Home Loan Bank advance rates.  Commercial real estate loans are generally secured by commercial properties such as industrial properties, hotels, small office buildings, retail facilities, warehouses, multi-family income properties and owner-occupied properties used for business. Generally, commercial real estate loans are approved with a maximum 80% loan to appraised value ratio.
 
In its evaluation of a commercial real estate loan application, the Company considers the net operating income of the property, the borrower’s expertise, credit history, and the profitability and value of the underlying property. For loans secured by rental properties, the Company will also consider the terms of the leases and the quality of the tenant. The Company generally requires that the properties securing these loans have minimum debt service coverage sufficient to support the loan. The Company generally requires the borrowers seeking commercial real estate loans to personally guarantee those loans.
 
Commercial real estate loans generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than residential mortgage loans. Loan repayment is often dependent on the successful operation and management of the properties, as well as on the collateral value of the commercial real estate securing the loan. Economic events and changes in government regulations could have an adverse impact on the cash flows generated by properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate loans and on the value of such properties.

Residential Real Estate Loans.  The Company offers fixed-rate and adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans. These loans have original maturities of up to 30 years and generally have maximum loan amounts of up to $1.0 million. In its residential mortgage loan originations, the Company lends up to a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 100% for first-time home buyers and immediately sells all of its 100% loan-to-value ratio loans.  For fiscal year 2014, the Company originated 47 loans with a loan-to-value ratio of 95% or greater, of which 100% were sold. Hampden Bank has an Asset Liability Committee, which evaluates whether the Company should retain or sell any fixed rate loans that have maturities greater than 15 years. As of June 30, 2014, the residential real estate mortgage loan portfolio totaled $107.5 million, or 21.05% of the total gross loan portfolio on that date, and had an average yield of 4.3%. Of the residential mortgage loans outstanding on that date, $62.5 million were adjustable-rate loans with an average yield of 4.3% and $45.0 million were fixed-rate mortgage loans with an average yield of 4.4%. Residential mortgage loan originations totaled $29.8 million and $48.5 million for fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively.

A licensed appraiser appraises all properties securing residential first mortgage purchase loans and all real estate transactions greater than $250,000. If appropriate, flood insurance is required for all properties securing real estate loans made by the Company.

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 the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and earns a fee equal to 0.25% of the loan amount outstanding for providing these services.  Loans which the Company originates that have a higher risk profile or are outside of our normal underwriting standards are sold to a third party along with the servicing rights.  The total of loans serviced for third parties as of June 30, 2014 is $71.8 million.

The adjustable-rate mortgage loans (“ARM loans”) offered by the Company make up the largest portion of the residential mortgage loans held in portfolio. At June 30, 2014, ARM loans totaled $62.5 million, or 58.1% of total residential loans outstanding at that date. The Company originates ARM loans with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of up to 95% with private mortgage insurance. Generally, any ARM Loan with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 85% requires private mortgage insurance. ARM loans are offered for terms of up to 30 years with initial interest rates that are fixed for 1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 years. After the initial fixed-rate period, the interest rates on the loans are reset based on the relevant U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity Treasury Index, or CMT Index, plus add-on margins of varying amounts, for periods of 1, 3, and 5 years. Maximum interest rate adjustments on such loans typically range from 2.0% to 3.0% during any adjustment period and 5.0% to 6.0% over the life of the loan. Periodic adjustments in the interest rate charged on ARM loans help to reduce the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates. However, ARM loans generally possess an element of credit risk not inherent in fixed-rate mortgage loans, because borrowers are potentially exposed to increases in debt service requirements over the life of the loan in the event market interest rates rise, resulting in higher payments. These higher payments may increase the risk of default or prepayments.

In light of the national housing crisis, rising unemployment, and a weakening economy, the Company offers a short term relief program, that provides our residential mortgage customers with the ability to overcome temporary financial pressures. The modification program is available to current customers that have a mortgage loan held in portfolio. The modification plan is designed to provide short term relief of generally three to six months due to job loss, reduced income, a need to restructure debt, or other events that have caused or will cause a borrower to be unable to keep current with mortgage payments. The plan is offered on a case-by-case basis and only after a review of the borrower’s current financial condition and a determination that such a plan is likely to provide to the borrowers the ability to maintain current monthly payments going forward. Debt to income ratios demonstrating an ability to pay must be achieved for a modification plan to be in place. Under this modification program, the

6


borrower’s future principal payments are accelerated in order to return to the original rate and term of the original contract, and accordingly these loans are not classified as troubled debt restructurings.
 
Home Equity Loans.  The Company offers home equity lines of credit and home equity term loans. The Company originated $14.2 million and $19.9 million of home equity lines of credit and loans during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively, and at June 30, 2014 had $76.1 million of home equity lines of credit and loans outstanding, representing 14.91% of the loan portfolio, with an average yield of 3.7% at that date. Approximately 47.7% of the Company’s home equity lines of credit and loans are classified as first in priority liens.
 
Home equity lines of credit and loans are secured by first or second mortgages on one- to four-family owner occupied properties, and are made 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. The undrawn portion of home equity lines of credit totaled $35.7 million at June 30, 2014.

Commercial Loans.  The Company originates secured and unsecured commercial loans to business customers in its market area for the purpose of financing equipment purchases, working capital, expansion and other general business purposes. The Company originated $39.6 million and $13.2 million in commercial loans during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively, and as of June 30, 2014 had $54.8 million in commercial loans in its portfolio, representing 10.72% of the loan portfolio, with an average yield of 4.2%.
 
The Company’s commercial loans are generally collateralized by equipment, accounts receivable and inventory, and are usually supported by personal guarantees. The Company offers both term and revolving commercial loans. The former have either fixed or adjustable-rates of interest and generally fully amortize over a term of between three and seven years. Revolving loans are written on demand with annual reviews, with floating interest rates that are indexed to the Company’s base rate of interest.

When making commercial loans, the Company considers the financial statements of the borrower, the borrower’s payment history with respect to both corporate and personal debt, the debt service capabilities of the borrower, the projected cash flows of the business, the viability of the industry in which the borrower operates and the value of the collateral. The Company has established limits on the amount of commercial loans in any single industry.
 
Because commercial loans often depend on the successful operation or management of the business, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse changes in the economy. Further, collateral securing such loans may depreciate in value over time, may be difficult to appraise and to liquidate, and may fluctuate in value. The Company intends to further grow this segment of its loan portfolio, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of its total loan portfolio.

Construction Loans.  The Company offers residential and commercial construction loans. The majority of commercial construction loans are written to become permanent financing. The Company originated $43.6 million and $40.1 million of construction loans during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively, and at June 30, 2014 had $40.0 million of construction loans outstanding, representing 7.84% of the loan portfolio.
 
We originate fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans to individuals for their primary residence.  We also make construction loans for commercial development projects, including office buildings, senior housing facilities, apartment buildings, industrial buildings, retail complexes and medical facilities.  Our construction loans generally provide for the payment of interest only during the construction phase, which is usually a period of 6 – 24 months.  At the end of the construction phase, the loan generally converts to a permanent mortgage loan.  Before making a commitment to make a construction loan, we require an appraisal of the property on an “as-is” and “as-completed” basis by an independent appraiser.  We also require an inspection of the ongoing project before disbursement of funds during the construction process.
 
At June 30, 2014, our largest outstanding residential construction loan was $608,000, of which $595,000 was outstanding.  At June 30, 2014, our largest commercial construction loan was $6.5 million, of which $6.3 million was outstanding for the development of an apartment building.  These loans were performing in accordance with their original terms at June 30, 2014.
 





7


Consumer and Other Loans.  The Company originates a variety of consumer and other loans, auto loans and loans secured by passbook savings or certificate accounts. The Company also purchases manufactured home loans and automobile loans from third parties. The Company originated $13.9 million and $8.6 million of consumer and other loans, including purchases of manufactured home and automobile loans, during fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively, and at June 30, 2014 had $31.5 million of consumer and other loans outstanding. Of the $13.9 million of originations in 2014, $2.3 million consists of purchased automobile loans and $3.0 million consists of purchased manufactured housing loans. Consumer and other loans outstanding represented 6.17% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2014, with an average yield of 7.95%.
 
Loan Origination.  Loan originations come from a variety of sources. The primary source of originations is our salaried and commissioned loan personnel, and to a lesser extent, local mortgage brokers, advertising and referrals from customers. The Company occasionally purchases participation interests in commercial real estate loans and commercial loans from banks located in Massachusetts and Connecticut. The Company underwrites these loans using its own underwriting criteria.
 
The Company makes commitments to loan applicants based on specific terms and conditions.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company had commitments to grant loans of $20.4 million, unadvanced funds on home equity lines of credit totaling $35.7 million, unadvanced funds on overdraft lines of credit totaling $1.8 million, unadvanced funds on commercial lines of credit totaling $37.8 million, unadvanced funds due mortgagors and on construction loans totaling $37.9 million and standby letters of credit totaling $500,000.
 
Generally, the Company charges origination fees, or points, and collects fees to cover the costs of appraisals and credit reports. For information regarding the Company’s recognition of loan fees and costs, please refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, beginning on page F-10.

Loan Underwriting. The Company believes that credit risk is best approved in a bottom up manner.  The officer most directly responsible for credit risk, the Account Manager, typically approves exposures within delegated authority or recommends approval to the next level of authority as necessary.  All exposures require at least one signature by an officer with the appropriate authority.  No exposure will be approved without the recommendation of the Account Manager.  All new commercial loan approval actions must be documented in the individual credit file with a Credit Approval Memorandum, prior to the Bank advancing any funds.

The Company’s loan policy has established specific loan approval limits.  Loan officers may approve loans up to their individual lending limit, or two loan officers can originate loans up to their combined limit.  The loan committee reviews all loan applications and approves relationships greater than the loan officer’s limit.  Certain loan relationships require loan committee and/or of the Board of Directors of Hampden Bank (the “Board of Investment”) approval.  The members of the Bank’s loan committee include the Bank’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Lending Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President of Retail and Mortgage Lending, Vice President of Commercial Credit and two Vice Presidents of Commercial Lending.

Residential mortgage loans are underwritten by the Bank. Residential mortgage loans for less than the corresponding Fannie Mae limit to be held in portfolio require the approval of a residential loan underwriter. Residential mortgage loans greater than the Fannie Mae limit require the approval of a Senior Retail Loan Officer and in some instances, depending on the amount of the loan, the approval of the Board of Investment.

Consumer loans are underwritten by consumer loan underwriters, including loan officers and branch managers who have approval authorities based on experience for these loans. Unsecured personal loans are generally not written for more than $5,000.

The Company generally does not make loans aggregating more than $10.0 million to one borrower (or related entity). Exceptions to this limit require the approval of the Board of Investment prior to loan origination. The Company’s internal lending limit is lower than the Massachusetts legal lending limit, which is 20.0% of a bank’s retained earnings and equity, or $15.1 million for the Company as of June 30, 2014.
 
The Company has established a risk rating system for its commercial real estate, commercial construction and commercial loans. This system evaluates a number of factors useful in indicating the risk of default and risk of loss associated with a loan. These ratings are reviewed by commercial credit analysts who do not have responsibility for loan originations. The Company also uses a third party loan review firm to test and review these ratings, and then report their results to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Hampden Bancorp, Inc (the “Audit Committee”).
 
The Company occasionally participates in loans originated by third parties to supplement our origination efforts. The Company underwrites these loans using its own underwriting criteria.
 
Loan Maturity.  The following table summarizes the final maturities of the Company’s loan portfolio at June 30, 2014. This table does not reflect scheduled principal payments, unscheduled prepayments, or the ability of certain loans to reprice prior to maturity dates.

Loan Quality
 
General.  One of the Company’s most important operating objectives is to maintain a high level of asset quality. Management uses a number of strategies in furtherance of this goal, including maintaining sound credit standards in loan originations, monitoring the loan portfolio through internal and third-party loan reviews, and employing active collection and workout processes for delinquent or problem loans.
 
Delinquent Loans.  Management performs a monthly review of all delinquent loans. The actions taken with respect to delinquencies vary depending upon the nature of the delinquent loans and the period of delinquency. A late charge is normally assessed on loans where the scheduled payment remains unpaid after a 15-day grace period for residential mortgages and a 10-day grace period for commercial loans. After mailing delinquency notices, the Company’s loan collection personnel call the borrower to ascertain the reasons for delinquency and the prospects for repayment. On loans secured by one- to four-family owner-occupied property, the Company initially attempts to work out a payment schedule with the borrower in order to avoid foreclosure. Any such loan restructurings must be approved by an officer with the level of authority required for a new loan of that amount. If these actions do not result in a satisfactory resolution, the Company refers the loan to legal counsel and counsel initiates foreclosure proceedings. For commercial real estate, commercial construction and commercial loans, collection procedures may vary depending on individual circumstances.
 
Other Real Estate Owned.  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 less estimated cost to sell 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 June 30, 2014, the Company had $309,000 of property classified as OREO. In July 2011, the Company began leasing out a $270,000 OREO property and collected $109,000 in rental income in fiscal 2014. This property was sold to the lessee on June 12, 2014. As of September 11, 2014, the Company signed a purchase and sale

10


agreement for a $215,000 OREO property. The Company will not incur any additional costs. The Company anticipates this property will be sold by September 30, 2014.

Classification of Assets and Loan Review.  Risk ratings of 1-9 are assigned to all credit relationships to differentiate and manage levels of risk in individual exposures and throughout the portfolio. Refer to Note 5 in the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for detailed discussion.  Ratings are called Customer Risk Ratings ("CRRs").  CRRs are designed to reflect the risk to the Company in any Total Customer Relationship Exposure.  Risk ratings are used to profile the risk inherent in portfolio outstandings and exposures to identify developing trends and relative levels of risk and to provide guidance for the promulgation of policies, which control the amount of risk in an individual credit and in the entire portfolio, identify deteriorating credits and predict the probability of default. Timeliness of this process allows early intervention in the recovery process so as to maximize the likelihood of full recovery, and establish a basis for maintaining prudent reserves against loan losses.
 
The Account Manager has the primary responsibility for the timely and accurate maintenance of CRRs. The risk rating responsibility for the aggregate portfolio rests with the Commercial and Residential Division Executives. If a disagreement surfaces regarding a risk rating, the loan review committee makes the final determination. The members of the Bank’s loan review committee include Bank’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Lending Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President of Retail and Mortgage Lending, Vice President of Commercial Credit and a Vice President of Commercial Lending. All others in a supervisory or review function regarding credit have a responsibility for reviewing the appropriateness of the rating and bringing to senior management’s attention any dispute so it may be resolved.  Generally, changes to risk ratings are made immediately upon receipt of material information, which suggests that the current rating is not appropriate.

The Company engages an independent third party to conduct a semi-annual review of a significant portion of its commercial real estate, commercial construction and commercial loan portfolios. These loan reviews provide a credit evaluation of individual loans to determine whether the risk ratings assigned are appropriate. Independent loan review findings are presented directly to the Audit Committee.
 
Watchlist loans, including non-accrual loans, are classified as either special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss. At June 30, 2014, loans classified as special mention totaled $13.7 million, consisting of $12.4 million commercial real estate, $533,000 commercial loans, $523,000 residential mortgage loans, $7,000 home equity loans and $161,000 consumer loans.

Substandard loans totaled $11.2 million, consisting of $4.0 million commercial real estate, $4.3 million commercial, $2.6 million residential mortgage, $150,000 home equity and $60,000 consumer loans.

Loans classified as doubtful totaled $351,000, consisting of $146,000 residential mortgage and $205,000 of consumer loans.

Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status either when reasonable doubt exists as to the full timely 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. 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 for commercial and residential loans. 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 partially charged off. If there is a collateral shortfall for the loan or it has been partially charged off, then the Company typically applies the entire payment to the principal balance of the loan. There are no loans greater than 90 days delinquent and still accruing at the dates presented above.

As of June 30, 2014, non-accrual loans totaled $5.2 million, of which $4.3 million were 90 days or greater past due, $486,000 that are 30-89 days past due and $405,000 that are current or less than 30 days past due. It is the Company’s policy to keep loans on non-accrual status until the borrower can demonstrate their ability to make payments according to their loan terms and an acceptable history of repayment of six months. One- to four-family residential non-accrual loans less than 90 days past due were $317,000, commercial real estate non-accrual loans less than 90 days past due were $534,000, and home equity second lien non-accrual loans less than 90 days past due were $39,000. All non-accrual loans, troubled debt restructurings, and loans with risk ratings of six or higher are assessed by the Company for impairment.
 
All loans that are modified when the Bank makes a concession in light of the borrower’s financial difficulty are considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) (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 due to a borrower’s financial difficulty and are classified as impaired loans by the Company. The Bank modifies loans in the normal course of business for credit worthy borrowers that are not TDRs. In these cases, the modified terms are consistent with loan terms available to credit worthy borrowers and within normal loan pricing. At such time they meet the criteria for impairment, these loans will be classified as such. The Company does not currently have any concession programs that it offers to its commercial or mortgage loan customers. The Company’s policy for classifying the modified loans as accrual or non-accrual (at the time of modification) is as follows: (i) for loans that have been modified and remain on accrual, the modifications are completed pursuant to our existing underwriting standards, which include a review of historical financial statements, including current interim information if available, an analysis of the causes of the borrower’s decline in performance and projections to assess repayment ability going forward, and (ii) for modified loans, return to accrual status once the borrower has shown the ability and an acceptable history of repayment of six months.
 
At June 30, 2014, the Bank had twelve TDRs totaling approximately $5.1 million, of which $534,000 were on non-accrual status. The interest income recorded from the restructured loans amounted to approximately $276,000 for the year ended June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2013, the Bank had sixteen TDRs totaling approximately $7.8 million, of which $580,000 were on non-accrual status. The interest income recorded from the restructured loans amounted to approximately $239,000 for the year ended June 30, 2013. At June 30, 2012, the Bank had fourteen TDRs totaling approximately $10.3 million, of which $698,000 were on non-accrual status. The interest income recorded from the restructured loans amounted to approximately $689,000 for the year ended June 30, 2012.
 
At June 30, 2014, the interest income that would have been recorded had non-accruing loans been current according to their original terms, amounted to $53,000.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses.  In originating loans, the Company recognizes that losses will be experienced on loans and that the risk of loss will vary with many factors, including the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan, general economic conditions and, in the case of a secured loan, the quality of the security for the loan over the term of the loan. The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses that is intended to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and as such, this allowance represents management’s best estimate of the probable known and inherent credit losses in the loan portfolio as of the date of the financial statements. 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.
 



12




The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability 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 allowance consists of specifically allocated and general components.  The specifically allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired.  For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, or collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. For additional information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies — Allowance for Loan Losses."

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, collateral value, 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. Impaired loans decreased to $9.8 million at June 30, 2014 from $15.0 million at June 30, 2013. The Company has established specific reserves aggregating $11,000 for impaired loans.  Such reserves relate to one impaired loan with a carrying value of $537,000, and is based on management’s analysis of the expected cash flows. If impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, the change in present value is recorded within the provision for loan loss.

The $9.8 million of impaired loans includes $5.2 million of non-accrual loans and $4.6 million of accruing TDRs as of June 30, 2014. The $4.6 million, or 47%, of total impaired loans, of accruing TDRs were current with all payment terms as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2013, the $15.0 million of impaired loans includes $4.0 million of non-accrual loans and $7.3 million of accruing TDRs as of June 30, 2013. The remaining $3.7 million are loans that the Company believes, 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. Of the $15.0 million of impaired loans, $11.0 million, or 73%, were current with all payment terms as of June 30, 2013.
 
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.

As shown in the table above, the provision for loan losses has decreased over the past year. The Company completes its allowance for loan loss review using a calculation that includes specific reserves on impaired credits and general reserves on all non-impaired credits. During this review process, the Company has implemented a qualitative review of the non-impaired loans, using historical charge-offs as the starting point, including charge-offs recognized in the current quarter or year, and then adding additional basis points for specific qualitative factors such as the levels and trends in delinquency and impairments, trends in volume and terms as risk rating migration, effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards, experience of lending management and staff, and national and local economic trends and conditions. Adjustments to the provision are made on a quarterly basis, as necessary.

When calculating the general allowance component of the allowance for loan losses, the Company analyzes the trend in delinquencies. 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 allocated to that loan. 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.

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. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis 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 an impaired loan has a shortfall in the expected future cash flows, then a specific allowance will be placed on the loan in that amount. 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, construction and some consumer loans are secured by real estate. As of June 30, 2014, all impaired commercial loans except for one are secured

14


by 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 of the borrower. In certain cases additional collateral may be obtained.

For the year ended June 30, 2014, total charge-offs were $387,000 compared to $544,000 for the year ended June 30, 2013. There was a decrease in specific reserves on impaired loans from $32,000 at June 30, 2013 to $11,000 at June 30, 2014 due to a decrease in impaired loans requiring specific reserve allocations in fiscal 2014. In addition, the general reserve allocations decreased due to improving economic factors and decreases in historical losses. These factors contributed to the decrease in the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans at the end of the year from 1.20% at June 30, 2013 to 1.11% at June 30, 2014. The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans has decreased from 136.06% at June 30, 2013 to 109.11% at June 30, 2014. Our allowance for loan losses increased between June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2014 due to increase in loan volume.

The following table sets forth the Company’s allowance by loan category and the percent of the loans to total loans in each of the categories listed at the dates indicated. The allowance for loan losses allocated to each category is not necessarily indicative of future losses in any particular category and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in other categories:

 Investment Activities
 
General.  The Company’s investment policy is approved and adopted by the Board of Directors. The President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as authorized by the Board of Directors, implement this policy based on the established guidelines within the written policy.
 
The basic objectives of the investment function are (1) to enhance the profitability of the Company by keeping its investable funds fully employed at the maximum after-tax return, (2) to provide adequate regulatory and operational liquidity, (3) to minimize and/or adjust the interest rate risk position of the Company, (4) to assist in reducing the Company’s corporate tax liability, (5) to minimize the Company’s exposure to credit risk, (6) to provide collateral for pledging requirements, (7) to serve as a countercyclical balance to earnings by absorbing funds when the Company’s loan demand is low and infusing funds when loan demand is high and (8) to provide a diversity of earning assets to mortgage/loan investments.

Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity” and recorded at amortized cost. Securities purchased and held principally for the purpose of trading in the near term are classified as “trading securities”. Securities not classified as held to maturity or trading, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as “available for sale” and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income/loss. Gains and losses on disposition of securities are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities.

Declines in fair value of securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In determining other-than-temporary impairment losses, impairment is required to be recognized (1) if we intend to sell the security, (2) if it is “more likely than not” that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or (3) for debt securities, the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. For all impaired available-for-sale debt securities that we intend to sell, or likely will be required to sell, the full amount of the other-than-temporary impairment is recognized through earnings. For all other impaired available-for-sale debt securities, credit-related impairment is recognized through earnings, while non-credit related impairment is recognized in other comprehensive income/loss, net of applicable taxes. Marketable equity securities are evaluated for OTTI based on the severity and duration of the impairment and, if deemed to be other than temporary, the declines in fair value are reflected in earnings as realized losses. The Company did not incur a write-down for OTTI of investment securities in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012.
 
Corporate Obligations. At June 30, 2014, the Company’s portfolio of corporate obligations totaled $3.1 million, or 2.2% of the portfolio at that date. The Company’s policy requires that investments in corporate obligations be restricted only to those obligations that are readily marketable and rated ‘A’ or better by a nationally recognized rating agency at the time of purchase. At June 30, 2014, all investments in corporate obligations were rated ‘A’ or better.

16


 Municipal Bonds. At June 30, 2014, the Company’s portfolio of municipal bonds totaled $9.3 million, or 6.9% of the portfolio at that date. The Company’s policy requires that investments in municipal bonds be restricted only to those obligations that are readily marketable and rated ‘A’ or better by a nationally recognized rating agency at the time of purchase. At June 30, 2014, all investments in municipal bonds were rated ‘A’ or better.

Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities.  At June 30, 2014, the Company’s portfolio of residential mortgage-backed securities totaled $130.8 million, or 97.6% of the portfolio on that date, and included pass-through securities totaling $69.7 million and collateralized mortgage obligations totaling $59.4 million directly insured or guaranteed by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). The Company also invests in securities issued by non-agency or private mortgage originators, provided those securities are rated AAA by nationally recognized rating agencies at the time of purchase. At June 30, 2014, we held 16 securities issued by private mortgage originators that had an amortized cost of $1.7 million and a fair value of $1.7 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 June 30, 2014. We will continue to evaluate these securities for other-than-temporary impairment, which could result in a future non-cash charge to earnings.
 
Marketable Equity Securities.  At June 30, 2014, the Company’s portfolio of marketable equity securities totaled $79,000, or 0.06% of the portfolio at that date, and consisted of common stock of two corporations. The Company’s investment policy requires investments of no more than 5% of Tier I capital in any one issuer and no more than 20% of Tier I capital in any one industry.  The total of all investments in common and preferred stocks may not exceed 100% of Tier I capital.  Issues must be listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ. 

Restricted Equity Securities.  At June 30, 2014, the Company held $6.6 million of FHLB stock. This stock is restricted and must be held as a condition of membership in the FHLB and as a condition for the Bank to borrow from the FHLB.

Sources of Funds
 
General.  Deposits are the primary source of the Company’s funds for lending and other investment purposes. In addition to deposits, the Company obtains funds from the amortization and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, the sale or maturity of investment securities, advances from the FHLB, and cash flows generated by operations. 

Deposits.  Consumer and commercial deposits are gathered primarily from the Company’s primary market area through the offering of a broad selection of deposit products including checking, regular savings, money market deposits and time deposits, including certificate of deposit accounts and individual retirement accounts. The FDIC insures deposits up to certain limits and the Massachusetts Deposit Insurance Fund fully insures amounts in excess of such limits.
 
Competition and general market conditions affect the Company’s ability to attract and retain deposits.  We offer Remote Deposit Capture to our business customers which allows us to expand our deposit gathering outside of our normal deposit area. The Company offers rates on various deposit products based on local competitive pricing and the Company’s need for new funds.  Occasionally, the Company does offer “special” rate pricing in an effort to attract new customers.  The Company does not have any brokered deposits.

Borrowings.  The Company utilizes advances from the FHLB primarily in connection with funding growth in the balance sheet and to assist in the management of its interest rate risk by match funding longer term fixed rate loans. FHLB advances are secured primarily by certain of the Company’s mortgage loans, investment securities and by its holding of FHLB stock. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding $116.4 million in FHLB advances, and had the ability to borrow an additional $61.1 million based on available collateral.
 
The following table sets forth certain information concerning balances and interest rates on the Company’s short-term and long-term FHLB advances at the dates and for the years indicated:

Of the $116.4 million in advances outstanding at June 30, 2014, $6.0 million bearing a weighted-average interest rate of 3.52% are callable by the FHLB at its option and in its sole discretion only if the level of a specific index were to exceed a pre-determined maximum rate. In the event the FHLB calls these advances, the Company will evaluate its liquidity and interest rate sensitivity position at that time and determine whether to replace the called advances with new borrowings.
 
In an effort to decrease the Bank’s interest rate risk from rising interest rates, the Bank took advantage of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston’s program to further restructure outstanding borrowings. 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%. There were no advances restructured during the year ended June 30, 2014.

The Company recognizes the need to assist the communities it serves with economic development initiatives. These initiatives focus on creating or retaining jobs for lower income workers, benefits for lower income families, supporting small business and funding affordable housing programs. To assist in funding these initiatives, the Company has participated in FHLB’s Community Development Advance program. The Company continues to originate loans that qualify under this program.

The Company had no overnight repurchase agreements as of June 30, 2014 and 2013.  As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $7.3 million of overnight repurchase agreements with business customers with a weighted average rate of 0.10%.  These repurchase agreements were collateralized by residential mortgage-backed securities.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
The following discussion addresses elements of the regulatory framework applicable to bank holding companies and their subsidiaries, in particular subsidiary banks. This regulatory framework is intended primarily to protect the safety and soundness of depository institutions, the federal deposit insurance system, and depositors, rather than the protection of stockholders of a bank holding company such as the Company.
As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve under the BHC Act. The Bank is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks (the “Commissioner”) and the FDIC.
The following is a summary of certain aspects of various statutes and regulations applicable to the Company and the Bank. This summary is not a comprehensive analysis of all applicable law, and is qualified by reference to the applicable statutes and regulations.
The Dodd-Frank Act
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), enacted on July 21, 2010, comprehensively reformed the regulation of financial institutions, products and services. Among other things, the Dodd-Frank Act:
granted the Federal Reserve increased supervisory authority and codified the source of strength doctrine, as discussed in more detail in “-Regulation of the Company-Source of Strength” below;
provided for new capital standards applicable to the Company and the Bank, as discussed in more detail in “-Capital Adequacy and Safety and Soundness-Regulatory Capital Requirements” below;
modified the scope and costs associated with deposit insurance coverage, as discussed in “-Regulation of the Bank-Deposit Insurance Premiums” below;
permitted well capitalized and well managed banks to acquire other banks in any state, subject to certain deposit concentration limits and other conditions, as discussed in “-Regulation of the Bank-Acquisitions and Branching” below;
permitted the payment of interest on business demand deposit accounts;
established new minimum mortgage underwriting standards for residential mortgages, as discussed in “-Consumer Protection Regulation-Mortgage Reform” below;
established the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (the “CFPB”);
barred banking organizations, such as the Company, from engaging in proprietary trading and from sponsoring and investing in hedge funds and private equity funds, except as permitted under certain circumstances; and
established the Financial Stability Oversight Council to designate certain activities as posing a risk to the U.S. financial system and recommend new or heightened standards and safeguards for financial institutions engaging in such activities.

Regulation of the Company
The Company is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve, which has the authority, among other things, to order bank holding companies to cease and desist from unsafe or unsound banking practices; to assess civil money penalties; and to order termination of non-banking activities or termination of ownership and control of a non-banking subsidiary by a bank holding company.
Source of Strength. Under the BHC Act as well as the Dodd-Frank Act, the Company is required to serve as a source of financial strength for the Bank. This support may be required at times when the bank holding company may not have the resources to provide support to the Bank. In the event of a bank holding company’s bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a bank subsidiary will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment. In addition, any loans by a bank holding company to any of its bank subsidiaries are subordinate to the payment of deposits and to certain other indebtedness.
Acquisitions and Activities. The BHC Act prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring substantially all the assets of a bank or acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank or bank holding company without prior approval of the Federal Reserve.


23


The BHC Act prohibits a bank holding company from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to its subsidiary banks. However, a bank holding company may engage in and may own shares of companies engaged in certain activities that the Federal Reserve determines to be so closely related to banking or managing and controlling banks so as to be a proper incident thereto.
Limitations on Acquisitions of Company Common Stock. The Change in Bank Control Act prohibits a person or group of persons from acquiring “control” of a bank holding company unless the Federal Reserve has been notified and has not objected to the transaction. Under a rebuttable presumption established by the Federal Reserve, the acquisition of 10% or more of a class of voting securities of a bank holding company, such as the Company, with a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, would, under the circumstances set forth in the presumption, constitute the acquisition of control of a bank holding company.
In addition, any company would be required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve under the BHC Act before acquiring 25% (5% in the case of an acquirer that is a bank holding company) or more, or otherwise obtaining control or a controlling influence over a bank holding company. In 2008, the Federal Reserve released guidance on minority investments in banks that relaxed the presumption of control for investments of greater than 10% of a class of outstanding voting securities of a bank holding company in certain instances discussed in the guidance.
Limitations on Redemption of Common Stock. A bank holding company is generally required to give the Federal Reserve prior written notice of any purchase or redemption of then outstanding equity securities if the gross consideration for the purchase or redemption, when combined with the net consideration paid for all such purchases or redemptions during the preceding 12 months, is equal to 10% or more of the company’s consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve may disapprove such a purchase or redemption if it determines that the proposal would constitute an unsafe and unsound practice, or would violate any law, regulation, Federal Reserve order or directive, or any condition imposed by, or written agreement with, the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has adopted an exception to this approval requirement for well-capitalized bank holding companies that meet certain other conditions.
Regulation of the Bank
The Bank is subject to the supervision and regulation of the Commissioner and the FDIC. Additionally, under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Reserve may directly examine the subsidiaries of the Company, including the Bank. The enforcement powers available to federal and state banking regulators include, among other things, the ability to issue cease and desist or removal orders to terminate insurance of deposits; to assess civil money penalties; to issue directives to increase capital; to place the bank into receivership; and to initiate injunctive actions against banking organizations and institution-affiliated parties.
Deposit Insurance. Substantially all of the deposits of the Bank are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund and are subject to deposit insurance assessments to maintain the Deposit Insurance Fund. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDIA”), as amended by the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, requires the FDIC to set a ratio of deposit insurance reserves to estimated insured deposits-the designated reserve ratio-of 1.35%. The FDIC utilizes a risk-based assessment system that imposes insurance premiums based upon a risk matrix that takes into account a bank’s capital level and supervisory rating (“CAMELS rating”). CAMELS ratings reflect the applicable bank regulatory agency’s evaluation of the financial institution’s capital, asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to risk. Assessment rates may also vary for certain institutions based on long-term debt issuer ratings, secured or brokered deposits. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, deposit premiums are based on assets rather than insurable deposits. To determine its actual deposit insurance premiums, the Bank computes the base amount on its average consolidated assets less its average tangible equity (defined as the amount of Tier I capital) and the applicable assessment rate. The FDIC has the power to adjust deposit insurance assessment rates at any time. For 2014, the aggregate FDIC insurance expense for the Bank was $366,000.
Under the FDIA, the FDIC may terminate deposit insurance upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC.
In addition to the FDIC assessments, the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) is authorized to impose and collect, with the approval of the FDIC, assessments for anticipated payments, issuance costs and custodial fees on bonds issued by the FICO in the 1980s to recapitalize the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds issued by the FICO are due to mature in 2017 through 2019. For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the annualized FICO assessment was equal to 0.64 basis points for each $100 in domestic deposits maintained at an institution.

24


All Massachusetts-chartered savings banks, such as the Bank, are required to be members of the Massachusetts Depositors Insurance Fund, a corporation that insures savings bank deposits in excess of federal deposit insurance coverage. The Massachusetts Depositors Insurance Fund is authorized to charge Massachusetts savings banks an annual assessment of up to 1/50th of 1.0% of a savings bank’s deposit balances in excess of amounts insured by the FDIC.
Acquisitions and Branching. The Bank must seek prior regulatory approval from the Commissioner and the FDIC to acquire another bank or establish a new branch office. Well capitalized and well managed banks may acquire other banks in any state, subject to certain deposit concentration limits and other conditions, pursuant to the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 and the Dodd-Frank Act. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act authorizes a state-chartered bank, such as the Bank, to establish new branches on an interstate basis to the same extent a bank chartered by the host state may establish branches.
Activities and Investments of Insured State-Chartered Banks. Section 24 of the FDIA generally limits the investment activities of FDIC-insured, state-chartered banks, such as the Bank, when acting as principal to those that are permissible for national banks. Further, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the “GLBA”) permits national banks and state banks, to the extent permitted under state law, to engage through “financial subsidiaries” in certain activities which are permissible for subsidiaries of a financial holding company. In order to form a financial subsidiary, a state-chartered bank must be well capitalized, and such banks would be subject to certain capital deduction, risk management and affiliate transaction rules, among other things.
Massachusetts-chartered savings banks may broadly invest in equity securities subject to certain limitations, including on the aggregate amount of such investment as a percentage of the bank’s deposits. Although such equity investments are generally not permitted under federal law, under the FDIA, state-chartered banks may, with FDIC approval, continue to exercise state authority to invest in common or preferred stocks. The Bank received approval from the FDIC to retain and acquire such equity instruments equal to the lesser of 100% of the Banks’ Tier 1 capital or the maximum permissible amount specified by Massachusetts law. This authority may be terminated upon the FDIC’s determination that such investments pose a safety and soundness risk or upon the occurrence of certain events such as a change in the Bank’s charter.
Lending Restrictions. Federal and state law limits a bank’s authority to extend credit to its directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders, as well as to entities controlled by such persons. Among other things, extensions of credit to insiders are required to be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons. Also, the terms of such extensions of credit may not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features and may not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of the bank’s capital. The Dodd-Frank Act explicitly provides that an extension of credit to an insider includes credit exposure arising from a derivatives transaction, repurchase agreement, reverse repurchase agreement, securities lending transaction or securities borrowing transaction. Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act requires that asset sale transactions with insiders must be on market terms, and if the transaction represents more than 10% of the capital and surplus of the Bank, be approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Bank. Under Massachusetts law, the Bank is also subject to restrictions on the amount it may lend to one borrower, which subject to certain limited exceptions, total obligations of one borrower may not exceed 20.0% of the total of the Bank’s capital
Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) requires the FDIC to evaluate the Bank’s performance in helping to meet the credit needs of the entire communities it serves, including low and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with its safe and sound banking operations, and to take this record into consideration when evaluating certain applications. The FDIC’s CRA regulations are generally based upon objective criteria of the performance of institutions under three key assessment tests: (i) a lending test, to evaluate the institution’s record of making loans in its service areas; (ii) an investment test, to evaluate the institution’s record of investing in community development projects, affordable housing, and programs benefiting low or moderate income individuals and businesses; and (iii) a service test, to evaluate the institution’s delivery of services through its branches, ATMs, and other offices. The Bank currently has an “outstanding” CRA rating. Massachusetts has also enacted a similar statute that requires the Commissioner to evaluate the performance of the Bank in helping to meet the credit needs of its entire community and to take that record into account in considering certain applications.
Capital Adequacy and Safety and Soundness
Regulatory Capital Requirements. The Federal Reserve and the FDIC have issued substantially similar risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to U.S. banking organizations. These guidelines are intended to reflect the relationship between the banking organization’s capital and the degree of risk associated with its operations based on transactions recorded on-balance sheet as well as off-balance sheet items. The Federal Reserve and the FDIC may from time to time require that a banking organization maintain capital above the minimum levels discussed below due to the banking organization’s financial condition or actual or anticipated growth.

25


Current Federal Reserve capital adequacy guidelines define a three-tier capital framework. Tier I capital for bank holding companies generally consists of the sum of common stockholders’ equity, perpetual preferred stock and trust preferred securities (both subject to certain limitations and, in the case of the latter, to specific limitations on the kind and amount of such securities that may be included as Tier I capital and certain additional restrictions described below), and minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and other non-qualifying intangible assets. Tier II capital generally consists of hybrid capital instruments, perpetual debt and mandatory convertible debt securities, perpetual preferred stock and trust preferred securities (to the extent not eligible to be included as Tier I capital), term subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock, and, subject to limitations, general allowances for loan losses. The sum of Tier I and Tier II capital less certain required deductions, such as investments in unconsolidated banking or finance subsidiaries, represents qualifying total capital. Risk-based capital ratios are calculated by dividing Tier I and total capital, respectively, by risk-weighted assets. Assets and off-balance sheet credit equivalents are assigned to one of four categories of risk-weights, based primarily on relative credit risk. The minimum Tier I risk-based capital ratio is 4% and the minimum total risk-based capital ratio is 8%. As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 17.2% and its total risk-based capital ratio was 18.3%. The Company is currently considered “well capitalized” under all regulatory definitions.
In addition to the risk-based capital requirements, the Federal Reserve requires top-rated bank holding companies to maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio of Tier I capital (defined by reference to the risk-based capital guidelines) to its average total consolidated assets of at least 3.0%. For most other bank holding companies (including the Company), the minimum leverage capital ratio is 4.0%. Bank holding companies with supervisory, financial, operational or managerial weaknesses, as well as bank holding companies that are anticipating or experiencing significant growth, are expected to maintain capital ratios well above the minimum levels. The Company’s leverage capital ratio as of June 30, 2014 was 12.2%.
The FDIC has adopted a statement of policy regarding the capital adequacy of state-chartered banks and promulgated regulations to implement the system of prompt corrective action established by Section 38 of the FDIA. Under the FDIC regulations, a bank is “well capitalized” if it has: (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater; (ii) a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater; (iii) a leverage capital ratio of 5.0% or greater; and (iv) is not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive, or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. A bank is “adequately capitalized” if it has: (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater; (ii) a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or greater; and (iii) a leverage ratio of 4.0% or greater (3.0% under certain circumstances) and does not meet the definition of a “well capitalized” bank. The FDIC must also take into consideration (1) concentrations of credit risk; (2) interest rate risk; and (3) risks from non-traditional activities, as well as an institution’s ability to manage those risks, when determining the adequacy of an institution’s capital. This evaluation will be made as part of the institution’s regular safety and soundness examination. The Bank is currently considered “well capitalized” under all regulatory definitions.
Generally, a bank, upon receiving notice that it is “undercapitalized,” becomes subject to the prompt corrective action provisions of Section 38 of the FDIA that, for example, (i) restrict payment of capital distributions and management fees, (ii) require that the FDIC monitor the condition of the institution and its efforts to restore its capital, (iii) require submission of a capital restoration plan, (iv) restrict the growth of the institution’s assets and (v) require prior regulatory approval of certain expansion proposals. A bank that is required to submit a capital restoration plan must concurrently submit a performance guarantee by each company that controls the bank. A bank that is “critically undercapitalized,” a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%, will be subject to further restrictions, and generally will be placed in conservatorship or receivership within 90 days.
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has also released new capital requirements, known as Basel III, setting forth higher capital requirements, enhanced risk coverage, a global leverage ratio, provisions for counter-cyclical capital, and liquidity standards. On July 2, 2013, the Federal Reserve, along with the other federal banking agencies, issued a final rule (the “Final Capital Rule”) implementing the Basel III capital standards and establishing the minimum capital requirements for banks and bank holding companies required under the Dodd-Frank Act. The majority of the provisions of the Final Capital Rule apply to bank holding companies and banks with consolidated assets of $500 million or more, such as the Company and the Bank. The Final Capital Rule establishes a new capital risk-based capital ratio, a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5% of risk-weighted assets to be a “well capitalized” institution, and increase the minimum total Tier 1 capital ratio to be a “well capitalized institution from 6.0% to 8.0%. The Final Capital Rule also requires that an institution establish a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital in an amount above the minimum risk-based capital requirements for “adequately capitalized” institutions equal to 2.5% of total risk weight assets, or face restrictions on capital distributions and executive bonuses. The Final Capital Rule increases the required capital for certain categories of assets, including higher-risk construction real estate loans and certain exposures related to securitizations. Under the Final Capital Rule, the Company may make a one-time, permanent election to continue to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income from capital. If the Company does not make this election, unrealized gains and losses would be included in the calculation of its regulatory capital.

26


The Company and the Bank must comply with the Final Capital Rule beginning on January 1, 2015.
Safety and Soundness Standards. The FDIA requires the federal bank regulatory agencies to prescribe standards, by regulations or guidelines, relating to internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems, risk management, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, asset quality, earnings, stock valuation and compensation, fees and benefits, and such other operational and managerial standards as the agencies deem appropriate. Guidelines adopted by the federal bank regulatory agencies establish general standards relating to internal controls and information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth and compensation, fees and benefits. In general, these guidelines require, among other things, appropriate systems and practices to identify and manage the risk and exposures specified in the guidelines. The guidelines prohibit excessive compensation as an unsafe and unsound practice and describe compensation as excessive when the amounts paid are unreasonable or disproportionate to the services performed by an executive officer, employee, director or principal stockholder. In addition, the federal banking agencies adopted regulations that authorize, but do not require, an agency to order an institution that has been given notice by an agency that it is not satisfying any of such safety and soundness standards to submit a compliance plan. If, after being so notified, an institution fails to submit an acceptable compliance plan or fails in any material respect to implement an acceptable compliance plan, the agency must issue an order directing action to correct the deficiency and may issue an order directing other actions of the types to which an undercapitalized institution is subject under the “prompt corrective action” provisions of the FDIA. See “-Regulatory Capital Requirements” above. If an institution fails to comply with such an order, the agency may seek to enforce such order in judicial proceedings and to impose civil money penalties.
Dividend Restrictions
The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. The revenue of the Company (on a parent-only basis) is derived primarily from interest and dividends paid to it by the Bank. The right of the Company, and consequently the right of stockholders of the Company, to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of the Bank through the payment of such dividends or otherwise is necessarily subject to the prior claims of creditors of the Bank (including depositors), except to the extent that certain claims of the Company in a creditor capacity may be recognized.
Restrictions on Bank Holding Company Dividends. The Federal Reserve has the authority to prohibit bank holding companies from paying dividends if such payment is deemed to be an unsafe or unsound practice. The Federal Reserve has indicated generally that it may be an unsafe or unsound practice for bank holding companies to pay dividends unless the bank holding company’s net income over the preceding year is sufficient to fund the dividends and the expected rate of earnings retention is consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Further, when the Final Capital Rule comes into effect, the Company’s ability to pay dividends would be restricted if it does not maintain a capital conservation buffer. See “-Capital Adequacy and Safety and Soundness-Regulatory Capital Requirements” above.
Restrictions on Bank Dividends. The FDIC has the authority to use its enforcement powers to prohibit a bank from paying dividends if, in its opinion, the payment of dividends would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Federal law also prohibits the payment of dividends by a bank that will result in the bank failing to meet its applicable capital requirements on a pro forma basis. Under Massachusetts law, the board of directors of the Bank may declare from “net profits” cash dividends no more often than quarterly, provided that there is no impairment to the trust company’s capital stock. Moreover, prior approval by the Commissioner is required if the total of all dividends declared by the Bank in any calendar year would exceed the total of its net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits for the previous two years, less any required transfer to surplus or a fund for the retirement of any preferred stock.
Certain Transactions by Bank Holding Companies with their Affiliates
There are various statutory restrictions on the extent to which bank holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries may borrow, obtain credit from or otherwise engage in “covered transactions” with their insured depository institution subsidiaries. The Dodd-Frank Act amended the definition of affiliate to include an investment fund for which the depository institution or one of its affiliates is an investment adviser. An insured depository institution (and its subsidiaries) may not lend money to, or engage in covered transactions with, its non-depository institution affiliates if the aggregate amount of covered transactions outstanding involving the bank, plus the proposed transaction exceeds the following limits: (i) in the case of any one such affiliate, the aggregate amount of covered transactions of the insured depository institution and its subsidiaries cannot exceed 10% of the capital stock and surplus of the insured depository institution; and (ii) in the case of all affiliates, the aggregate amount of covered transactions of the insured depository institution and its subsidiaries cannot exceed 20% of the capital stock and surplus of the insured depository institution. For this purpose, “covered transactions” are defined by statute to include a loan or extension of credit to an affiliate, a purchase of or investment in securities issued by an affiliate, a purchase of assets from an affiliate unless exempted by the Federal Reserve, the acceptance of securities issued by an affiliate as collateral for a loan or extension of credit to any person or company,

27


the issuance of a guarantee, acceptance or letter of credit on behalf of an affiliate, securities borrowing or lending transactions with an affiliate that creates a credit exposure to such affiliate, or a derivatives transaction with an affiliate that creates a credit exposure to such affiliate. Covered transactions are also subject to certain collateral security requirements. Covered transactions as well as other types of transactions between a bank and a bank holding company must be on market terms and not otherwise unduly favorable to the holding company or an affiliate of the holding company. Moreover, Section 106 of the BHC Act provides that, to further competition, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tying arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property of any kind, or furnishing of any service.
Consumer Protection Regulation
The Company and the Bank are subject to federal and state laws designed to protect consumers and prohibit unfair or deceptive business practices, including the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Housing Act, Home Ownership Protection Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (the “FACT Act”), the GLBA, the Truth in Lending Act, the CRA, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, National Flood Insurance Act and various state law counterparts. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions must interact with clients when taking deposits, making loans, collecting loans and providing other services. Further, the Dodd-Frank Act established the CFPB, which has the responsibility for making rules and regulations under the federal consumer protection laws relating to financial products and services. The CFPB also has a broad mandate to prohibit unfair or deceptive acts and practices and is specifically empowered to require certain disclosures to consumers and draft model disclosure forms. Failure to comply with consumer protection laws and regulations can subject financial institutions to enforcement actions, fines and other penalties. The FDIC will examine the Bank for compliance with CFPB rules and will enforce CFPB rules with respect to the Bank.
Mortgage Reform. The Dodd-Frank Act prescribes certain standards that mortgage lenders must consider before making a residential mortgage loan, including verifying a borrower’s ability to repay such mortgage loan, and allows borrowers to assert violations of certain provisions of the Truth-in-Lending Act as a defense to foreclosure proceedings. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, prepayment penalties are prohibited for certain mortgage transactions and creditors are prohibited from financing insurance policies in connection with a residential mortgage loan or home equity line of credit. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act prohibits mortgage originators from receiving compensation based on the terms of residential mortgage loans and generally limits the ability of a mortgage originator to be compensated by others if compensation is received from a consumer. The Dodd-Frank Act requires mortgage lenders to make additional disclosures prior to the extension of credit, in each billing statement and for negative amortization loans and hybrid adjustable rate mortgages.
Privacy and Customer Information Security. The GLBA requires financial institutions to implement policies and procedures regarding the disclosure of nonpublic personal information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. In general, the Bank must provide its clients with an annual disclosure that explains its policies and procedures regarding the disclosure of such nonpublic personal information, and, except as otherwise required or permitted by law, the Bank is prohibited from disclosing such information except as provided in such policies and procedures. The GLBA also requires that the Bank develop, implement and maintain a comprehensive written information security program designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of client information (as defined under GLBA), to protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information; and to protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any client. The Bank is also required to send a notice to clients whose “sensitive information” has been compromised if unauthorized use of this information is “reasonably possible.” Most of the states, including the states where the Bank operates, have enacted legislation concerning breaches of data security and the duties of the Bank in response to a data breach. Congress continues to consider federal legislation that would require consumer notice of data security breaches. In addition, Massachusetts has promulgated data security regulations with respect to personal information of Massachusetts residents. Pursuant to the FACT Act, the Bank must also develop and implement a written identity theft prevention program to detect, prevent, and mitigate identity theft in connection with the opening of certain accounts or certain existing accounts. Additionally, the FACT Act amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act to generally prohibit a person from using information received from an affiliate to make a solicitation for marketing purposes to a consumer, unless the consumer is given notice and a reasonable opportunity and a reasonable and simple method to opt out of the making of such solicitations.
Anti-Money Laundering
The Bank Secrecy Act. Under the Bank Secrecy Act (the “BSA”), a financial institution, is required to have systems in place to detect certain transactions, based on the size and nature of the transaction. Financial institutions are generally required to report to the U.S. Treasury any cash transactions involving more than $10,000. In addition, financial institutions are required to file suspicious activity reports for transactions that involve more than $5,000 and which the financial institution knows, suspects or has reason to suspect involves illegal funds, is designed to evade the requirements of the BSA or has no lawful purpose. The

28


Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “USA PATRIOT Act”), which amended the BSA, is designed to deny terrorists and others the ability to obtain anonymous access to the U.S. financial system. The USA PATRIOT Act has significant implications for financial institutions and businesses of other types involved in the transfer of money. The USA PATRIOT Act, together with the implementing regulations of various federal regulatory agencies, has caused financial institutions, such as the Bank, to adopt and implement additional policies or amend existing policies and procedures with respect to, among other things, anti-money laundering compliance, suspicious activity, currency transaction reporting, customer identity verification and customer risk analysis. In evaluating an application under Section 3 of the BHC Act to acquire a bank or an application under the Bank Merger Act to merge banks or effect a purchase of assets and assumption of deposits and other liabilities, the applicable federal banking regulator must consider the anti-money laundering compliance record of both the applicant and the target. In addition, under the USA PATRIOT Act financial institutions are required to take steps to monitor their correspondent banking and private banking relationships as well as, if applicable, their relationships with “shell banks.”
OFAC. The U.S. has imposed economic sanctions that affect transactions with designated foreign countries, nationals and others. These sanctions, which are administered by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), take many different forms. Generally, however, they contain one or more of the following elements: (i) restrictions on trade with or investment in a sanctioned country, including prohibitions against direct or indirect imports from and exports to a sanctioned country and prohibitions on “U.S. persons” engaging in financial transactions relating to making investments in, or providing investment-related advice or assistance to, a sanctioned country; and (ii) a blocking of assets in which the government or specially designated nationals of the sanctioned country have an interest, by prohibiting transfers of property subject to U.S. jurisdiction (including property in the possession or control of U.S. persons). Blocked assets (for example, property and bank deposits) cannot be paid out, withdrawn, set off or transferred in any manner without a license from OFAC. Failure to comply with these sanctions could have serious legal and reputational consequences for the Company
Federal Home Loan Bank System
The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (the “FHLB”), which is one of the regional Federal Home Loan Banks comprising the Federal Home Loan Bank System. Each Federal Home Loan Bank provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. A member institution is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB in an amount at least equal to the sum of 0.35% of the aggregate principal amount of its unpaid residential mortgage loans and similar obligations at the beginning of each year and 4.5% of its advances (borrowings) from the FHLB. The Bank was in compliance with this requirement as of June 30, 2014, with an investment in FHLB stock as of June 30, 2013 of $6.6 million. We receive dividends on our FHLB stock. The FHLB has recently declared dividends equal to an annual yield of approximately the daily average three-month LIBOR yield for the quarter for which the dividend has been declared. Dividend income on FHLB stock of $61,000 was recorded during the last fiscal year.
Any advances from the FHLB must be secured by specified types of collateral, and long-term advances may be used for the purpose of providing funds for residential housing finance, commercial lending and to purchase investments. Long term advances may also be used to help alleviate interest rate risk for asset and liability management purposes. As of June 30, 2014, the Bank had a total of $116.4 million of FHLB advances.
Holding Company Regulation
 
Hampden Bancorp, Inc. is subject to examination, regulation, and periodic reporting under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, as administered by the Federal Reserve Board. Hampden Bancorp, Inc. is required to obtain prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board to acquire all, or substantially all, of the assets of any bank or holding company. Prior Federal Reserve Board approval would be required for Hampden Bancorp, Inc. to acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting securities of any bank or holding company if, after such acquisition, it would, directly or indirectly, own or control more than 5% of any class of voting shares of the bank or bank holding company. In addition to the approval of the Federal Reserve Board, before any bank acquisition can be completed, prior approval must also be required to be obtained from other agencies having supervisory jurisdiction over the bank to be acquired.
 
A bank holding company is generally prohibited from engaging in, or acquiring, direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting securities of any company engaged in non-banking activities. One of the principal exceptions to this prohibition is for activities found by the Federal Reserve Board to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Some of the principal activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined by regulation to be so closely related to banking are: (i) making or servicing loans; (ii) performing certain data processing services; (iii) providing discount brokerage services; (iv) acting as fiduciary, investment or financial adviser; (v) leasing personal or real property; (vi) making

29


investments in corporations or projects designed primarily to promote community welfare; and (vii) acquiring a savings and loan association.
 
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 authorizes a bank holding company that meets specified conditions, including being “well capitalized” and “well managed,” to opt to become a “financial holding company” and thereby engage in a broader array of financial activities than previously permitted. Such activities can include insurance underwriting and investment banking.
 
Hampden Bancorp, Inc. is subject to the Federal Reserve Board’s capital adequacy guidelines for bank holding companies (on a consolidated basis) substantially similar to those of the FDIC for Hampden Bank. The Dodd-Frank Act requires federal bank regulators to establish minimum leverage and risk based capital requirements for insured depository institutions. Such requirements have not been established.  It also provides that minimum capital levels applicable to insured institutions will be applied to bank holding companies.  As a result, trust preferred stock will no longer be deemed Tier 1 capital for bank holding companies with over $500 million in assets.
 
            A bank holding company is generally required to give the Federal Reserve Board prior written notice of any purchase or redemption of then outstanding equity securities if the gross consideration for the purchase or redemption, when combined with the net consideration paid for all such purchases or redemptions during the preceding 12 months, is equal to 10% or more of the company’s consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve Board may disapprove such a purchase or redemption if it determines that the proposal would constitute an unsafe and unsound practice, or would violate any law, regulation, Federal Reserve Board order or directive, or any condition imposed by, or written agreement with, the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted an exception to this approval requirement for well-capitalized bank holding companies that meet certain other conditions.
 
The Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement regarding the payment of dividends by bank holding companies. In general, the Federal Reserve Board’s policies provide that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the bank holding company appears consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. The Federal Reserve Board’s policies also require that a bank holding company serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary banks by standing ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to those banks during periods of financial stress or adversity and by maintaining the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks where necessary. Under the prompt corrective action laws, the ability of a bank holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary bank becomes undercapitalized. These regulatory policies could affect the ability of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. to pay dividends or otherwise engage in capital distributions.
 
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, depository institutions are liable to the FDIC for losses suffered or anticipated by the FDIC in connection with the default of a commonly controlled depository institution or any assistance provided by the FDIC to such an institution in danger of default. This law would have potential applicability if Hampden Bancorp, Inc. ever held as a separate subsidiary a depository institution in addition to Hampden Bank.

Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and Hampden Bank will be affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of various agencies of the United States Government, including the Federal Reserve System. In view of changing conditions in the national economy and in the money markets, it is impossible for management to accurately predict future changes in monetary policy or the effect of such changes on the business or financial condition of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. or Hampden Bank.
 
The status of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. as a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act will not exempt it from certain federal and state laws and regulations applicable to corporations generally, including, without limitation, certain provisions of the federal securities laws. 
 
Massachusetts Holding Company Regulation.    Under the Massachusetts banking laws, a company owning or controlling two or more banking institutions, including a savings bank, is regulated as a bank holding company. The term “company” is defined by the Massachusetts banking laws similarly to the definition of “company” under the Bank Holding Company Act. Each Massachusetts bank holding company: (i) must obtain the approval of the Massachusetts Board of Bank Incorporation before engaging in certain transactions, such as the acquisition of more than 5% of the voting stock of another banking institution; (ii) must register, and file reports, with the Division; and (iii) is subject to examination by the Division. Hampden Bancorp, Inc. would become a Massachusetts bank holding company if it acquires a second banking institution and holds and operates it separately from Hampden Bank.
 
Federal Securities Laws.   Our common stock is registered with the SEC under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. We are subject to information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions, and other requirements under the Exchange Act.

FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION
 
Federal Income Taxation
 
General.    The Company reports its income using the accrual method of accounting. The federal income tax laws apply to the Company in the same manner as to other corporations with some exceptions, including the reserve for bad debts discussed below. The following discussion of tax matters is intended only as a summary and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to the Company. Hampden Bank currently files a consolidated federal income tax return with Hampden Bancorp, Inc. Hampden Bank's federal income tax returns have been either audited or closed under the statute of limitations through October 31, 2010. For its 2013 and 2014 tax year, Hampden Bank's maximum federal income tax rate was 34%.
 
Bad Debt Reserves.    For taxable years beginning before January 1, 1996, thrift institutions that qualified under certain definitional tests and other conditions of the Internal Revenue Code were permitted to use certain favorable provisions to calculate their deductions from taxable income for annual additions to their bad debt reserve. A reserve could be established for bad debts on qualifying real property loans, generally secured by interests in real property improved or to be improved, under the percentage of taxable income method or the experience method. The reserve for nonqualifying loans was computed using the experience method. Federal legislation enacted in 1996 repealed the reserve method of accounting for bad debts and the percentage of taxable income method for tax years beginning after 1995 and required savings institutions to recapture or take into income certain portions of their accumulated bad debt reserves. However, those bad debt reserves accumulated prior to 1988 ("Base Year Reserves") were not required to be recaptured unless the savings institution failed certain tests. Approximately $1.5 million of Hampden Bank's accumulated bad debt reserves would not be recaptured into taxable income unless Hampden Bank makes a "non-dividend distribution" to Hampden Bancorp, Inc. as described below.
 
Distributions.    If Hampden Bank makes "non-dividend distributions" to Hampden Bancorp, Inc., the distributions will be considered to have been made from Hampden Bank's unrecaptured tax bad debt reserves, including the balance of its Base Year Reserves as of October 31, 1987, to the extent of the "non-dividend distributions," and then from Hampden Bank's supplemental reserve for losses on loans, to the extent of those reserves, and an amount based on the amount distributed, but not more than the amount of those reserves, will be included in Hampden Bank's taxable income. Non-dividend distributions include distributions in excess of Hampden Bank's current and accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal income tax purposes, distributions in redemption of stock and distributions in partial or complete liquidation. Dividends paid out of Hampden Bank's current or accumulated earnings and profits will not be so included in Hampden Bancorp, Inc.'s taxable income.
 
The amount of additional taxable income triggered by a non-dividend is an amount that, when reduced by the tax attributable to the income, is equal to the amount of the distribution. Therefore, if Hampden Bank makes a non-dividend distribution to Hampden Bancorp, Inc. approximately one and one-half times the amount of the distribution not in excess of the amount of the reserves would be includable in income for federal income tax purposes, assuming a 34% federal corporate income tax rate. Hampden Bank does not intend to pay dividends that would result in a recapture of any portion of its bad debt reserves.

State Taxation
 
Prior to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, financial institutions in Massachusetts were not allowed to file consolidated income tax returns. Instead, each entity in the consolidated group files a separate annual income tax return. The Massachusetts excise tax rate for savings banks is currently 9.0% of federal taxable income, adjusted for certain items. Taxable income includes gross income as defined under the Internal Revenue Code, plus interest from bonds, notes and evidences of indebtedness of any state, including Massachusetts, less deductions, but not the credits, allowable under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, except for those deductions relating to dividends received and income or franchise taxes imposed by a state or political subdivision. Carryforwards and carrybacks of net operating losses and capital losses are not allowed.
 
On July 3, 2008, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts enacted a law that included reducing the tax rate on net income applicable to financial institutions. As a result, the rate has dropped to 10.0% for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2010, 9.5% for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, and to 9.0% for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2012 and thereafter. Also, for the years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, the new law requires all unitary members of a consolidated group, except those with Massachusetts Security Corporation status, to file a combined corporation excise tax return. The Company continues to analyze the impact of this law change, however, it is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
The Company's state tax returns, as well as those of its subsidiaries, are not currently under audit.
  


31


A financial institution or business corporation is generally entitled to special tax treatment as a "security corporation" under Massachusetts law provided that: (a) its activities are limited to buying, selling, dealing in or holding securities on its own behalf and not as a broker; and (b) it has applied for, and received, classification as a "security corporation" by the Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. A security corporation that is also a bank holding company under the Internal Revenue Code must pay a tax equal to 0.33% of its gross income. A security corporation that is not a bank holding company under the Internal Revenue Code must pay a tax equal to 1.32% of its gross income. Hampden Investment Corporation requested and was approved to be classified as a security corporation. The classification is in effect until revoked by the Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Revenue in writing or revoked by conducting any activities deemed impermissible under the governing statutes and the various regulations, directives, letter rulings and administrative pronouncements issued by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. In order to qualify as a security corporation, the Company established a subsidiary for the purpose of making the loan to the employee stock ownership plan, because making such a loan directly would disqualify it from classification as a security corporation.
 
Delaware Taxation. As a Delaware holding company not earning income in Delaware, the Company is exempt from Delaware corporate income tax but is required to file an annual report with and pay an annual franchise tax to the State of Delaware.
 
Item 1A.   Risk Factors
 
Before deciding to invest in us or deciding to maintain or increase your investment, you should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to the other information contained in this report and in our other filings with the SEC. The risks and uncertainties described below and in our other filings are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business. If any of these known or unknown risks or uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price for our common stock could decline and you may lose your investment.
 Our commercial real estate, commercial business and commercial construction loan portfolios expose us to greater credit risk than our residential real estate loan portfolio.
 
At June 30, 2014, our loan portfolio consisted of $200.8 million, or 39.3%, of commercial real estate loans, $54.8 million, or 10.7%, of commercial business loans and $36.2 million, or 7.1%, of commercial construction loans.We intend to continue growing our commercial real estate and commercial business loan portfolios. Commercial loans generally carry larger loan balances and involve a higher risk of nonpayment or late payment than residential real estate loans. These loans may lack standardized terms and may include a balloon payment feature. Repayment of commercial real estate loans often depends on the successful operation of the property securing the loan. Commercial business loans typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayments from the cash flow of the borrower’s business and are secured by non-real estate collateral that may depreciate over time. Many of our commercial borrowers have more than one loan outstanding with us, and an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to a significantly greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to a one- to four-family residential real estate loan. Because of the risks associated with commercial loans, we may experience higher rates of default than if the portfolio were more heavily weighted toward residential real estate loans. Higher rates of default could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings could decrease.
In the event that our borrowers do not repay their loans according to the terms of the loans, and the collateral securing the repayment of these loans is insufficient to cover any remaining loan balance, we could experience loan losses, which could adversely effect our financial condition and results of operations. We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of our loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets, if any, serving as collateral for the repayment of our loans. In determining the amount of our allowance for loan losses, we rely on our loan quality reviews, our experience and our evaluation of economic conditions, among other factors. If our assumptions are incorrect, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio, which may require additions to our allowance. Our allowance may need to be increased further in the future due to our emphasis on loan growth and on increasing our portfolio of commercial business and commercial real estate loans. Any material additions to our allowance for loan losses would materially decrease our net income. In addition, bank regulators periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our provision for loan losses or recognize further loan charge offs. Any such action might have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

32


Environmental liability associated with our lending activities could result in losses.
We may acquire, through foreclosure, properties securing loans that we have originated or purchased that are in default. Particularly in commercial real estate lending, there is a risk that material environmental violations could be discovered at these properties. In this event, we might be required to remedy these violations at the affected properties at our sole cost and expense. The cost of remedial action could substantially exceed the value of affected properties. We may not have adequate remedies against the prior owner or other responsible parties and could find it difficult or impossible to sell the affected properties. These events could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
A downturn in the local economy or a decline in real estate values could hurt our profits.
Nearly all of our real estate loans are secured by real estate in Hampden and Hampshire Counties. As a result of this concentration, a downturn in the local economy could cause significant increases in non-performing loans, which would hurt our profits. Additionally, a decrease in asset quality could require additions to our allowance for loan losses through increased provisions for loan losses, which would hurt our profits. A decline in real estate values could cause some of our mortgage loans to become inadequately collateralized, which would expose us to a greater risk of loss. In addition, because we have a significant amount of commercial real estate loans, decreases in tenant occupancy may also have a negative effect on the ability of many of our borrowers to make timely repayments on their loans, which would have an adverse impact on our earnings.
Our financial condition and results of operations have been adversely affected, and may continue to be adversely affected, by general market and economic conditions.
We have been, and continue to be, impacted by general business and economic conditions in the United States and, to a lesser extent, abroad. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, money supply, political issues, legislative and regulatory changes, fluctuations in both debt and equity capital markets, broad trends in industry and finance, unemployment and the strength of the U.S. economy and the local economies in which we operate, all of which are beyond our control. Deterioration or continued weakness in any of these conditions could result in increases in loan delinquencies and non-performing assets, decreases in loan collateral values, the value of our investment portfolio and demand for our products and services. While the U.S. economy is improving, the recovery has been slow and there remains some uncertainty regarding its sustainability.
Fluctuations in interest rates may adversely affect our profitability.
Our profitability, like that of most financial institutions, depends primarily upon our net interest income, which is the difference between our gross interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and our interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowed funds. The narrowing of that difference could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition. We cannot predict with certainty or control changes in interest rates. Regional and local economic conditions and the policies of regulatory authorities, including monetary policies of the Federal Reserve, affect interest income and interest expense. While we have ongoing policies and procedures designed to manage the risks associated with changes in market interest rates, changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Increases in interest rates could affect the amount of loans that we originate, because higher rates could cause customers to apply for fewer loans. Higher interest rates could also cause depositors to shift funds from accounts that have a comparatively lower cost, to accounts with a higher cost. If the cost of interest-bearing deposits increases at a rate greater than the yields on interest-earning assets, net interest income will be negatively affected.
Competition within our market area could adversely affect our profits and growth.
Competition in the markets in which we operate may limit our ability to attract and retain customers. In particular, our competitors include major financial companies whose greater resources may afford them a marketplace advantage by enabling them to maintain numerous banking locations and mount extensive promotional and advertising campaigns. Additionally, banks and other financial institutions with larger capitalization, as well as financial intermediaries not subject to bank regulatory restrictions, have larger lending limits and are able to serve the credit and investment needs of larger customers. There is also increased competition by out-of-market competitors through the Internet. If we are unable to attract and retain customers, we may be unable to continue our loan growth and our results of operations and financial condition may otherwise be negatively impacted.

33


We operate in a highly regulated environment, and laws and regulations, or changes in them, could limit or restrict our activities and could have an adverse impact on our operations.
We are subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve, and the Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the Commissioner and the FDIC. Federal and state laws and regulations govern numerous matters affecting us, including changes in the ownership or control of banks and bank holding companies, maintenance of adequate capital and the financial condition of a financial institution, permissible types, amounts and terms of extensions of credit and investments, permissible non-banking activities, the level of reserves against deposits and restrictions on dividend payments. The FDIC and the Commissioner have the power to issue cease and desist orders to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of law by banks subject to their regulation, and the Federal Reserve possesses similar powers with respect to bank holding companies. These and other restrictions limit the manner in which we and the Bank may conduct business and obtain financing.
Because our business is highly regulated, the laws, rules, regulations, and supervisory guidance and policies applicable to us are subject to regular modification and change. It is impossible to predict the competitive impact that any such changes would have on the banking and financial services industry in general or on our business in particular. Such changes may, among other things, increase the cost of doing business, limit permissible activities, or affect the competitive balance between banks and other financial institutions. The Dodd-Frank Act instituted major changes to the banking and financial institutions regulatory regimes in light of the recent performance of and government intervention in the financial services sector. Other changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations, or policies, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways. Such changes could subject us to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products we may offer, and/or increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among other things. Failure to comply with laws, regulations, or policies could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties, and/or reputation damage, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See “Business-Regulation and Supervision.”
Additional requirements imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act could adversely affect us.
The Dodd-Frank Act comprehensively reformed the regulation of financial institutions, products and services. Because many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to rulemaking that will take effect over several years, it is difficult to forecast the full impact that such rulemaking will have on us, our clients, or the financial industry. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act established the CFPB as an independent bureau of the Federal Reserve. The CFPB has the authority to prescribe rules for all depository institutions governing the provision of consumer financial products and services, which may result in rules and regulations that reduce the profitability of such products and services or impose greater costs and restrictions on us and our subsidiaries. The Dodd-Frank Act also established new minimum mortgage underwriting standards for residential mortgages, and the regulatory agencies have focused on the examination and supervision of mortgage lending and servicing activities. See “Business-Regulation and Supervision-Consumer Protection Regulation-Mortgage Reform.”
Effective December 10, 2013, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, federal banking and securities regulators issued final rules to implement Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act, also known as the “Volcker Rule”. Generally, the Volcker Rule restricts banking organizations and their affiliated companies from engaging in proprietary trading and from sponsoring and investing in hedge funds and private equity funds, except as permitted under certain limited circumstances. After the transition period, the Volcker Rule restrictions will apply to us, unless an exception applies. At June 30, 2014 the Company did not engage in any activities that will not be permitted under the Volcker rule.
Current and future legal and regulatory requirements, restrictions, and regulations, including those imposed under the Dodd-Frank Act, may adversely impact our profitability and may have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations; may require us to invest significant management attention and resources to evaluate and make any changes required by the legislation and related regulations; and may make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and employees.
We will become subject to more stringent capital requirements.
The Dodd-Frank Act required the federal banking agencies to establish minimum leverage and risk-based capital requirements for insured banks and their holding companies. The federal banking agencies issued a joint final rule, or the “Final Capital Rule,” that implements the Basel III capital standards and establishes the minimum capital levels required under the Dodd-Frank Act. We must comply with the Final Capital Rule by January 1, 2015. The Final Capital Rule establishes a minimum common equity Tier I capital ratio of 6.5% of risk-weighted assets for a “well capitalized” institution and increases the minimum Tier I capital ratio for a “well capitalized” institution from 6.0% to 8.0%. Additionally, the Final Capital Rule requires an institution to maintain a 2.5% common equity Tier I capital conservation buffer over the 6.5% minimum risk-based capital requirement for “adequately

34


capitalized” institutions, or face restrictions on the ability to pay dividends, discretionary bonuses, and engage in share repurchases. The Final Capital Rule increases the required capital for certain categories of assets, including high-volatility construction real estate loans and certain exposures related to securitizations; however, the Final Capital Rule retains the current capital treatment of residential mortgages. Under the Final Capital Rule, we may make a one-time, permanent election to continue to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income from capital. If we do not make this election, unrealized gains and losses will be included in the calculation of our regulatory capital. Implementation of these standards, or any other new regulations, may adversely affect our ability to pay dividends, or require us to reduce business levels or raise capital, including in ways that may adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.
We may be unable to attract and retain key employees.
Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to attract and retain key employees. Competition for the best people can be intense and we may not be able to hire or retain the key employees that we depend upon for success. The unexpected loss of services of one or more of our key employees could have a material adverse impact on our business because of their skills, knowledge of the markets in which we operate, years of industry experience, and the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement employees.
Our ability to attract and retain clients and employees, and to maintain relationships with vendors, third-party service providers and others, could be adversely affected to the extent our reputation is harmed.
We are dependent on our reputation within our market area, as a trusted and responsible financial institution, for all aspects of our relationships with clients, employees, vendors, third party service providers, and others with whom we conduct business or potential future business. Our ability to attract and retain clients and employees at our banking, investment management, and wealth advisory subsidiaries could be adversely affected to the extent our reputation is damaged. Our actual or perceived failure to address various issues could give rise to reputational risk that could cause harm to us and our business prospects. These issues also include, but are not limited to, legal and regulatory requirements; privacy; properly maintaining client and employee personal information; record keeping; money-laundering; sales and trading practices; ethical issues; appropriately addressing potential conflicts of interest; and the proper identification of the legal, reputational, credit, liquidity, and market risks inherent in our products. Failure to appropriately address any of these issues could also give rise to additional regulatory restrictions, reputational harm, and legal risks, which could, among other consequences, increase the size and number of litigation claims and damages asserted or subject us to enforcement actions, fines, and penalties and cause us to incur related costs and expenses, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We may incur losses as a result of ineffective risk management processes and strategies.
Our risk management framework seeks to mitigate risk and appropriately balance risk and return. We have established policies and procedures intended to identify, monitor and manage the types of risk to which we are subject, including credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, operational risk and reputational risk. Although we have devoted significant resources to develop our risk management policies and procedures and expect to continue to do so in the future, these policies and procedures, as well as our risk management techniques, may not be fully effective. In addition, as regulations and markets in which we operate continue to evolve, our risk management framework may not always keep sufficient pace with those changes. If our risk management framework does not effectively identify or mitigate our risks, we could suffer unexpected losses and could be materially adversely affected. Management of our risks in some cases depends upon the use of analytical and/or forecasting models. If the models we use to mitigate these risks are inadequate, we may incur increased losses. In addition, there may be risks that exist, or that develop in the future, that we have not appropriately anticipated, identified or mitigated.
We may suffer losses as a result of operational risk or technical system failures.
We rely heavily on communications and information systems to conduct our business. Any failure, interruption, or breach in security or operational integrity of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in our customer relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan, and other systems. While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the failure, interruption, or security breach of our information systems, we cannot assure you that any such failures, interruptions, or security breaches will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed. The occurrence of any failures, interruptions, or security breaches of our information systems could damage our reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose us to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on other companies to provide key components of our business infrastructure.
Third party vendors provide key components of our business infrastructure such as internet connections, network access and core application processing. While we have selected these third party vendors carefully, we do not control their actions. Any problems caused by these third parties, including as a result of their not providing us their services for any reason or their performing their services poorly, could adversely affect our ability to deliver products and services to our customers or otherwise conduct our business efficiently and effectively. Replacing these third party vendors could also entail significant delay and expense.
We may incur fines, penalties and other negative consequences from regulatory violations, possibly even inadvertent or unintentional violations.
We maintain systems and procedures designed to ensure that we comply with applicable laws and regulations. However, some legal/regulatory frameworks provide for the imposition of fines or penalties for noncompliance even though the noncompliance was inadvertent or unintentional and even though there was in place at the time systems and procedures designed to ensure compliance. For example, we are subject to regulations issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, or “OFAC,” that prohibit financial institutions from participating in the transfer of property belonging to the governments of certain foreign countries and designated nationals of those countries. OFAC may impose penalties for inadvertent or unintentional violations even if reasonable processes are in place to prevent the violations. There may be other negative consequences resulting from a finding of noncompliance, including restrictions on certain activities. Such a finding may also damage our reputation as described above and could restrict the ability of institutional investment managers to invest in our securities.
We face legal risks, both from regulatory investigations and proceedings and from private actions brought against us.
From time to time we are named as a defendant or are otherwise involved in various legal proceedings, including class actions and other litigation or disputes with third parties. There is no assurance that litigation with private parties will not increase in the future. Actions currently pending against us may result in judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other results adverse to us, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, or cause reputational harm to us. As a participant in the financial services industry, it is likely that we will continue to experience litigation related to our businesses and operations.
Our businesses and operations are also subject to increasing regulatory oversight and scrutiny, which may lead to additional regulatory investigations or enforcement actions. These and other initiatives from federal and state officials may subject us to further judgments, settlements, fines or penalties, or cause us to be required to restructure our operations and activities, all of which could lead to reputational issues, or higher operational costs, thereby reducing our revenue.
Our financial statements are based in part on assumptions and estimates, which, if wrong, could cause unexpected losses in the future.
Pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or “GAAP,” we are required to use certain assumptions and estimates in preparing our financial statements, including in determining loan loss reserves, reserves related to litigation, and the fair value of certain assets and liabilities, among other items. If assumptions or estimates underlying our financial statements are incorrect, we may experience material losses. For additional information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies.”
Changes in accounting standards can be difficult to predict and can materially impact how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations.
Our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board changes the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our financial statements. These changes can be hard to anticipate and implement and can materially impact how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations.
We are a holding company and depend on our subsidiary bank for dividends, distributions, and other payments.
We are a legal entity that is separate and distinct from the Bank and depend on dividends, distributions, and other payments from the Bank to fund dividend payments on our common stock and to fund all payments on our other obligations. Our revenue (on a parent-only basis) is derived primarily from interest and dividends paid to us by the Bank. Our right, and consequently the right of our stockholders, to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of the Bank through the payment of such

36


dividends or otherwise is necessarily subject to the prior claims of creditors of the Bank (including depositors), except to the extent that certain claims of ours in a creditor capacity may be recognized.
Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends only when, as, and if declared by our board of directors. Although we have historically declared cash dividends on our common stock, we are not required to do so and our board of directors may reduce or eliminate our common stock dividend in the future. The Federal Reserve has authority to prohibit bank holding companies from paying dividends if such payment is deemed to be an unsafe or unsound practice. Additionally, the FDIC has the authority to use its enforcement powers to prohibit a bank from paying dividends if, in its opinion, the payment of dividends would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Further, when the Final Capital Rule comes into effect, our ability to pay dividends would be restricted if we do not maintain a capital conservation buffer. A reduction or elimination of dividends could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. See “Business-Regulation and Supervision-Dividend Restrictions” and “Business-Regulation and Supervision-Regulatory Capital Requirements.”
Future capital offerings may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources or, if our or the Bank’s capital ratios fall below required minimums, we or the Bank could be forced to raise additional capital by making additional offerings of debt, common or preferred stock, trust preferred securities, and senior or subordinated notes. Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities and shares of preferred stock and lenders with respect to other borrowings will receive distributions of our available assets prior to the holders of our common stock.
Additional equity offerings may dilute the holdings of our existing shareholders or reduce the market price of our common stock, or both. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings.
We cannot assure you that such capital will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Our inability to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms when needed could adversely affect our businesses, financial condition, and results of operations. Thus, our stockholders bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our common stock and diluting their stock holdings in us.
The market price and trading volume of our common stock may be volatile.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile. In addition, the trading volume in our common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. We cannot assure you that the market price of our common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future. Some of the factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our common stock include:
quarterly variations in our operating results or the quality of our assets;
operating results that vary from the expectations of management, securities analysts, and investors;
changes in expectations as to our future financial performance;
announcements of innovations, new products, strategic developments, significant contracts, acquisitions, and other material events by us or our competitors;
the operating and securities price performance of other companies that investors believe are comparable to us;
our past and future dividend practices;
future sales of our equity or equity-related securities; and
changes in global financial markets and global economies and general market conditions, such as interest rates, stock, commodity or real estate valuations or volatility.

Anti-takeover provisions could negatively impact our stockholders.
Provisions of Delaware law and provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us or have the effect of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire control of us. Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval and such preferred stock could be issued as a defensive measure in response to a takeover proposal. These and other provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if an acquisition might be in the best interest of our stockholders.

Market Information

The Company’s common stock is listed on The NASDAQ Global Market under the trading symbol “HBNK”. The following table sets forth, for the quarters in the Company’s two most recent fiscal years, the daily high and low sales prices for the common stock and the dividends declared. The Company is subject to the requirements of Delaware law, which generally limits dividends to an amount equal to the excess of the net assets of the Company (the amount by which total assets exceed total liabilities) over its statutory capital or, if there is no excess, to its net profits for the current and/or immediately preceding two fiscal years. The Company currently anticipates that comparable cash dividends will continue to be paid in the future.

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. Because these statements reflect the views of management concerning future events, these statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. 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.” The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among other factors, increased competitive pressure among financial service companies; changes in local, regional, national and regional economic conditions; changes in interest rates; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; legislative and regulatory changes; adverse changes in the capital markets; the inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to the Company; changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines; and the other risks and uncertainties detailed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview
 
Income.    The Company’s results of operations are primarily dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan and investment portfolios and interest expense incurred on its deposits and borrowed funds. Results of operations are also affected by fee income from banking and non-banking operations, provisions for loan losses, gains (losses) on sales of loans and securities available for sale, loan servicing income and other miscellaneous income.
 
Expenses.    The Company's expenses consist primarily of compensation and employee benefits, office occupancy, technology, marketing, general administrative expenses and income tax expense.
 
Results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly with respect to changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable law, regulations or government policies may materially impact the Company's financial condition and results of operations. See "Risk Factors."
 
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. 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 further described below.






45


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, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. The Company charges off any collateral shortfall on collaterally dependent impaired loans.

General allocation

The general allocation is determined by segregating the remaining loans, by type of loan and payment history. We analyze historical loss experience, and qualitative factors such as delinquency trends, changes in our underwriting standards as well as in 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 we have established which could have a material negative effect on our 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 year ended June 30, 2014.

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 concentrates on non-accrual and classified loans with risk ratings of six or higher. 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 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.

When one- to four-family residential mortgage loans become impaired, the collateral value is generally determined by obtaining the current tax assessed value, discounted by 20%. The Company believes this is a reliable source of valuation as assessments are periodically updated by the cities and towns. If the impaired loan is being actively marketed, the Company uses the realtor’s market analysis or listing price discounted by 10% and less 5% for realtor commission, instead of the tax assessment. We apply a discount based on management’s historical knowledge, expertise and/or to account for changes in market conditions from the time of valuation. In the event the Company has an appraisal on hand that is less than twelve months old, then the Company will use that appraisal to determine the collateral value.

For commercial real estate loans, the Company obtains an appraisal when the loan is originated. An updated appraisal is obtained by the Company if the loan becomes impaired and if the Company will use the collateral dependency method to measure the impairment. An updated appraisal is also obtained as well if the loan goes into foreclosure. On a quarterly basis, management’s Loan Review Committee reviews non-accrual and classified loans and ensures that all collateral dependent impaired loans have current appraisals within the preceding eighteen months. Because the appraisals are current, adjustments are limited in nature. There are situations where the Company may make adjustments to the appraisal in which the Company may decrease the appraised value if facts and circumstances warrant. The Company does not make any adjustments that would increase the appraised value.

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 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 one- to four-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 – Home equity loans are broken out into two segments, secured by first or second mortgages on one- to four-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

46


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 non-speculative real estate loans. All loans in this segment are collateralized by one- to four-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 are adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy, which in turn, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Additionally, risk of loss is impacted by the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s rate of absorption, value and the estimated cost of construction.
 
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, and resultant decreased consumer spending, will 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 third parties. 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.
 
Other consumer loans – Loans in this segment are generally unsecured and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.

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 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.

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.

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.

Average Balance Sheet and Analysis of Net Interest and Dividend 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 tables set 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.

 Comparison of Operating Results For the Years Ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013
 
            Net Income.    The Company had net income of $4.5 million, or $0.83 per fully diluted share, for the year ended June 30, 2014 as compared to net income of $3.0 million, or $0.54 per fully diluted share, for the year ended June 30, 2013. The primary reason for the increase in net income of $1.5 million, or 51.8%, included an increase in net interest income of $1.5 million, or 7.8% and decrease in non-interest expense of $1.3 million, or 7.2%, offset by decrease in non-interest income of $564,000, or 13.4%, and an increase in income tax expense of $767,000, or 43.2%.
 
Net Interest Income.    Net interest income increased by $1.5 million, or 7.8%, for the year ended June 30, 2014 compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2013. Interest and dividend income increased $1.2 million, or 4.8%, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period last year. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, interest expense decreased by $315,000, or 5.7%, compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2013. The net interest margin for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 was 3.10% compared to 3.14% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013.

Interest Income.    Interest income increased from $24.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2013 to $25.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2014. This increase of $1.2 million, or 4.8%, was the result of an increase in loan interest income of $1.1 million due to an increase in average balances, offset by a decrease in rates.





49


Interest Expense.    Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2014 was $5.2 million, which represented a decrease of $315,000, or 5.7%, from the year ended June 30, 2013. This included a decrease in deposit interest expense of $655,000 due to a decrease in rates, offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits. The decrease in deposit interest expense was partially offset by an increase in borrowing interest expense of $340,000 due to an increase in average balances, offset by a decrease in rates.  

Provision for Loan Losses.    The provision for loan losses was $550,000 for the year ended June 30, 2014 compared to $675,000 for the same period in 2013, primarily due to continued improvement in general economic conditions and a decrease in historical losses. The allowance for loan losses of $5.7 million at June 30, 2014 represented 1.11% of total loans, as compared to an allowance of $5.4 million, representing 1.20% of total loans at June 30, 2013.
 
Non-interest Income.    Total non-interest income for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 decreased by $564,000, or 13.4%, compared to year ended June 30, 2013. There was a $634,000, or 70.0%, decrease in the gain on sale of loans during the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 due to a decrease in the volume of residential loan refinances. There was also a $114,000 decrease in the gain on sale of securities during the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $179,000, or 9.0%, increase in customer service fees due to a change in fee structure and a $30,000, or 4.5%, increase in other non-interest income which was mainly due to an increase in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.

Non-interest Expense.    Total non-interest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 7.2%, for the year ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Results for fiscal 2014 included $410,000 of charges due to a proxy contest as previously described. Offsetting the costs incurred in the proxy contest, was an $827,000, or 8.3%, decrease in salaries and employee benefits due to the Company’s restructuring of its senior management team and staff positions, as well as a significant reduction in expenses related to grants under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. Decreases in data processing services of $91,000, or 8.9%, and other general and administrative expenses of $374,000, or 9.8%, are reflective of the Company’s cost reduction strategy.

Income Taxes.    Income tax expense increased $767,000, or 43.2%, from $1.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2013 to $2.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2014. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased from 37.4% for the year ended June 30, 2013 to 36.0% for the year ended June 30, 2014.
 
Comparison of Operating Results For the Years Ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012
 
Net Income.    The Company had net income of $3.0 million, or $0.54 per fully diluted share, for the year ended June 30, 2013 as compared to net income of $3.0 million, or $0.51 per fully diluted share, for the year ended June 30, 2012. The primary reasons for the decrease in net income of $42,000 included an increase in non-interest income of $962,000, an increase in non-interest expense of $554,000, and a decrease in net interest income of $206,000. The Company restructured its senior management team in June 2013 eliminating two senior vice president positions. The severance costs associated with this restructure totaled $310,000, or $0.03 per fully diluted share, and contributed to the increase in non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income.   There was a decrease in net interest income for the year ended June 30, 2013 of $206,000, or 1.1%, to $18.9 million from $19.1 million for the same period in 2012. The increase in the volume of interest-earning assets increased interest income by $2.1 million. The increase in the volume of interest-bearing liabilities increased interest expense by $589,000. The changes in volume had the effect of increasing net interest income by $1.5 million. The changes in the rates of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities had the effect of decreasing net interest income by $1.7 million. The decrease in net interest income attributable to lower yields on interest-earning assets totaled $2.6 million offset by a $868,000 increase in net interest income attributable to lower rates on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin decreased to 3.14% for the year ended June 30, 2013 compared to 3.50% for the year ended June 30, 2012.

           Interest Income.    Interest income decreased from $24.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2012 to $24.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2013. This decrease of $485,000, or 2.0%, was mainly due to a decrease in loan rates which decreased interest income received on loans by $1.8 million, and a decrease in investment rates which decreased interest received on debt securities by $865,000. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in volume of interest-earning assets, which increased interest income by $2.1 million.
    
Interest Expense.    Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2013 was $5.5 million, which represented a decrease of $279,000, or 4.8%, from the year ended June 30, 2012 to the year ended June 30, 2013. Decreased interest costs on deposits and borrowings were the reason for this decrease offset by an increase in borrowed funds. Average interest-bearing deposit balances

50


increased by $20.7 million, or 5.4%, while average rates decreased from 1.15% to 0.95%. Average borrowings balances increased from $62.5 million to $94.2 million and the average rate on borrowings decreased from 2.51% to 1.93%.

     Provision for Loan Losses.    For the year ended June 30, 2013, the provision for loan losses was $675,000, which represented an increase of $250,000 compared to the year ending June 30, 2012 due to increases in loan balances. Net loan charge-offs for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 were $409,000 and $750,000, respectively. The allowance for loan losses of $5.4 million at June 30, 2013 represented 1.20% of total loans, as compared to an allowance of $5.1 million, representing 1.26% of total loans at June 30, 2012.

            Non-interest Income.    Total non-interest income was $4.2 million, which represented an increase of $962,000, or 29.7%, for the year ended 2013 compared to the year ended June 30, 2012. The primary reasons for this increase was an increase in the gain on the sales of loans of $285,000, an increase in customer service fees of $277,000, and an increase in the gain on sales of securities, net, of $95,000 for the year ended June 30, 2013 compared to the year ended June 30, 2012.

            Non-interest Expense.    For the year ended June 30, 2013, non-interest expense was $17.6 million, which represented an increase of $554,000 compared to the year ended June 30, 2012. The Company restructured its senior management team in June 2013, eliminating two senior vice president positions. The costs associated with this restructure totaled $310,000, or $0.03 per fully diluted share, and were the reason for the increase in salary and benefits. Data processing increased $429,000, salaries and employee benefits increased $89,000, occupancy increased $84,000, other general and administrative expenses increased $64,000 and FDIC insurance increased $60,000 for the year ended June 30, 2013 compared to the year ended June 30, 2012. The 72% increase in data processing was due to increased contractual fees, increased transaction volume, and inclusion of additional electronic processing costs. Partial offsets to these increases were a decrease of $79,000 in net loss on other real estate owned and a decrease of $93,000 in advertising expenses for the year ended June 30, 2013 compared to the year ended June 30, 2012.

Income Taxes.    Income tax expense remained relatively unchanged at $1.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2012 and for the year ended June 30, 2013. The Company’s effective tax rate increased slightly from 37.2% for the year ended June 30, 2012 to 37.4% for the year ended June 30, 2013.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013
 
Total Assets.    Total assets increased by $48.5 million, or 7.4%, from $653.0 million at June 30, 2013 to $701.5 million at June 30, 2014. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net loans of $57.3 million, or 12.7%, to $507.6 million at June 30, 2014 as discussed below.
 
Cash and Short-term Investments.    Cash and correspondent bank balances, and short-term investments primarily consisting of money market mutual funds decreased by $13.0 million, or 50.6%, from $25.6 million at June 30, 2013 to $12.7 million at June 30, 2014.
 
Investment Securities.    The investment portfolio was $143.2 million at June 30, 2014, a increase of $4.5 million, or 3.2%, from $138.7 million at June 30, 2013. Within the securities portfolio,  municipal bonds increased $8.9 million at June 30, 2014 to $9.3 million compared to $395,000 at June 30, 2013. Residential mortgage-backed securities decreased $4.4 million, or 3.3%, to $130.8 million at June 30, 2014.

Net Loans.    Net loans increased $57.3 million, or 12.7%, from $450.3 million at June 30, 2013 to $507.6 million at June 30, 2014. Consumer loans increased $427,000, or 1.4%, Commercial real estate loans increased $33.4 million, or 19.9%, Construction loans increased $15.0 million, or 60.2%, and commercial loans increased $11.2 million, or 25.7%. The majority of the commercial construction loans are written to become permanent financing. A partial offset to these increases was a decrease in home equity loans of $2.3 million, or 2.9%, and one- to four-family residential loans of $119,000, or 0.1%. Due to interest rate risk management, the Company has decided to sell the majority of its current originations of long-term fixed rate residential mortgages and, during the year ended June 30, 2014, sold $10.1 million of its fixed rate residential mortgages.

Deposits and Borrowed Funds.    Deposits increased to $491.7 million at June 30, 2014 from $474.8 million at June 30, 2013. Demand deposits increased $10.1 million, or 13.7%, and money market accounts increased $15.2 million, or 18.1%. A partial offset to these increases was a decrease in certificates of deposits $2.6 million, or 1.6%, a decrease in savings accounts of $2.0 million, or 1.9%, and NOW accounts decreased $3.8 million, or 8.3%. The Company has focused its efforts on obtaining more core deposits than time deposits.
 
Total FHLB borrowings increased $29.5 million, or 33.9%, to $116.4 million as of June 30, 2014. The increase in borrowings was used to fund new loan growth. Based on comments by the Federal Reserve, the Company does not currently believe that

51


interest rates will increase in the next couple of years. However, in an effort to decrease the Bank’s interest rate risk from rising interest rates, the Bank took advantage of the FHLB’s program to further restructure outstanding borrowings. 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%.
 
Total Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $3.5 million, or 4.2%, to $87.2 million at June 30, 2014 from $83.7 million at June 30, 2013, primarily as a result of current year earnings offset by dividends and share repurchases. The Company repurchased 28,760 shares of Company stock for $450,000, at an average price of $15.64 per share, during the year ended June 30, 2014 pursuant to the Company’s previously announced stock repurchase programs. In addition the Company repurchased 260 shares of Company stock, at an average price of $15.52 per share, in the year ended June 30, 2014 in connection with the vesting of the restricted stock grants as part of our 2008 Plan. The Company purchased these shares from the employee plan participant for settlement of tax withholding obligations. Our ratio of capital to total assets decreased to 12.4% at June 30, 2014 compared to 12.8% at June 30, 2013.
 
Risk Management
 
Management recognizes that taking and managing risk is fundamental to the business of banking. Through the development, implementation and monitoring of its policies with respect to risk management, the Company strives to measure, evaluate and mitigate the risks it faces. Management understands that an effective risk management system is critical to the safety and soundness of the Company. Chief among the risks faced by the Company are credit risk, market risk including interest rate risk, liquidity risk, operational (transaction) risk and compliance risk.
 
Within management, the responsibility for risk management rests with the General Counsel and the senior officers responsible for finance, lending, retail banking, marketing and human resources. The General Counsel and senior officers continually review the status of our risk management efforts, including reviews of internal and external audit findings, loan review findings, and the activities of the Asset/Liability Committee with respect to monitoring interest rate and liquidity risk. The General Counsel tracks any open items requiring corrective action with the goal of ensuring that each is addressed on a timely basis. The General Counsel reports all findings directly to the Audit Committee.
 
Management of Credit Risk.    The Company considers credit risk to be the most significant risk it faces, in that it has the greatest potential to affect the financial condition and operating results of the Company. Credit risk is managed through a combination of policies established by the Board of Directors of the Company, the monitoring of compliance with these policies, and the periodic evaluation of loans in the portfolio, including those with problem characteristics. In general, the Company's policies establish maximums on the amount of credit that may be granted to a single borrower (including affiliates), the aggregate amount of loans outstanding by type in relation to total assets and capital, and loan concentrations. Collateral and debt service coverage ratios, approval limits and other underwriting criteria are also specified. Policies also exist with respect to performing periodic credit reviews, the rating of loans, when loans should be placed on non-performing status and factors that should be considered in establishing the Company's allowance for loan losses. For additional information, see "Business—Lending Activities."
 
Management of Market Risk.    Market risk is the risk of loss due to adverse changes in market prices and rates, and typically encompasses exposures such as sensitivity to changes in market interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. The Company has no exposure to foreign currency exchange or commodity price movements. Because net interest income is the Company's primary source of revenue, the Company's exposure to interest rate risk is significant.
 
Interest rate risk is the exposure of the Company's net interest income to adverse movements in interest rates. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates as well as by fluctuations in the level and duration of the Company's assets and liabilities. Over and above the influence that interest rates have on net interest income, changes in rates may also affect the volume of lending activity, the ability of borrowers to repay variable rate loans, the volume of loan prepayments and refinancing, the flow and mix of deposits, and the market value of the Company's assets and liabilities.

Exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Company through periodic evaluations of the current interest rate risk inherent in its rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, coupled with determinations of the level of risk considered appropriate given the Company's capital and liquidity requirements, business strategy and performance objectives. Through such management, the Company seeks to manage the vulnerability of its net interest income to changes in interest rates.
 
Strategies used by the Company to manage the potential volatility of its earnings may include:
 
• Emphasizing the origination and retention of adjustable-rate mortgage loans, variable rate commercial
loans and variable rate home equity lines of credit;

52


• Investing in securities with relatively short maturities and/or expected average lives;

• Classifying all of the investment portfolio as "available for sale" in order to provide for flexibility in liquidity
management; and
• Lengthening or shortening liabilities such as certificates of deposits and FHLB borrowings when appropriate.
 
The Company's Asset/Liability Committee, comprised of senior management and two members of the Board of Directors, is responsible for managing interest rate risk. On a quarterly basis, the Committee reviews with the Board of Directors its analysis of the Company's exposure to interest rate risk, the effect that subsequent changes in interest rates could have on the Company's future net interest income, its strategies and other activities, and the effect of those strategies on the Company's operating results.
 
The Committee's primary method for measuring and evaluating interest rate risk is income simulation analysis. This analysis considers the maturity and repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities, as well as the relative sensitivities of these balance sheet components over a range of interest rate scenarios. Interest rate scenarios tested generally include instantaneous and sustained parallel and flattening/steepening rate ramps over a one year period, and static (or flat) rates. The simulation analysis is used to measure the exposure of net interest income to changes in interest rates over a specified time horizon, usually a two-year period.
 
The following table sets forth, as of June 30, 2014, the estimated changes in the Company's net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous and sustained changes in the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.
 
 
% Change in
Estimated Net Interest
Income over 12 months
400 basis point increase in rates
(12.19)%
300 basis point increase in rates
(8.49)%
200 basis point increase in rates
(4.93)%
100 basis point increase in rates
(1.67)%
100 basis point decrease in rates
(5.53)%
 
As indicated in the table above, a 200 basis point increase in interest rates is estimated to decrease net interest income by 4.93% and 8.49% for a 300 basis point increase over a 12-month horizon, when compared to the flat rate scenario. The estimated change in net interest income from the flat rate scenario for a 100 basis point decline in the level of interest rates is a decrease of 5.53%. Inherent in these estimates is the assumption that interest rates on interest bearing liabilities would change in direct proportion to changes in the U.S. Treasury yield curve. In all simulations, the lowest possible interest rate would be zero.
 
There are inherent shortcomings in income simulation, given the number and variety of assumptions that must be made in performing the analysis. The assumptions relied upon in making these calculations of interest rate sensitivity include the level of market interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, the degree to which certain assets and liabilities with similar maturities or periods to repricing react to changes in market interest rates, the degree to which non-maturity deposits react to changes in market rates, the expected prepayment rates on loans and mortgage-backed securities, and the degree to which early withdrawals occur on certificates of deposit and the volume of other deposit flows. As such, although the analysis shown above provides an indication of the Company's sensitivity to interest rate changes at a point in time, these estimates are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on the Company's net interest income and will differ from actual results.

In its management of interest rate risk, the Company also relies on the analysis of its interest rate "gap," which is the measure of the mismatch between the amount of the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that mature or reprice within specified timeframes. An asset-sensitive position (positive gap) exists when there are more rate-sensitive assets than rate-sensitive liabilities maturing or repricing within a particular time horizon, and generally signifies a favorable effect on net interest income during periods of rising interest rates and a negative effect during periods of falling interest rates. Conversely, a liability-sensitive position (negative gap) would generally indicate a negative effect on net interest income during periods of rising rates and a positive effect during periods of falling rates. Certain factors may serve to limit the usefulness of the measurement of the interest rate gap. For example, interest rates on certain assets and liabilities are discretionary and may change in advance of, or may lag behind, changes in market rates. The gap analysis does not give effect to changes the Company may undertake to mitigate

53


interest rate risk. Certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features that may restrict the magnitude of changes in interest rates both on a short-term basis and over the life of the assets. Further, in the event of changes in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in the gap analysis. Lastly, should interest rates increase, the ability of borrowers to service their debt may decrease.
 
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 June 30, 2014, cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and short-term investments totaled $12.7 million, or 1.8%, of total assets, which is a decrease of $12.9 million, or 50.6%, from June 30, 2013.
 
The Company also relies on outside borrowings from the FHLB as an additional funding source. Since June 30, 2013, the Company has increased FHLB borrowings by $29.5 million to a total of $116.4 million outstanding as of June 30, 2014. On that date, the Company had the ability to borrow an additional $61.1 million from the FHLB. At June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had an Ideal Way Line of Credit available with the FHLB of $2.0 million, of which there were no amounts outstanding. In addition, the Company had lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and Bankers Bank Northeast totaling $7.4 million at June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 of which there were no amounts outstanding. As of June 30, 2014, the investments pledged for collateral with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston has a market value of $11.3 million.
 
The Company uses its 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.  
 
Loan commitments.    In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments which are not reflected in our 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 outstanding as of June 30, 2014 and 2013:

Management of Other Risks.    Two additional risk areas that receive significant attention by management and the Board are operational risk and compliance risk. Operational risk is the risk to earnings and capital arising from control deficiencies, problems with information systems, fraud, error or unforeseen catastrophes. Compliance risk is the risk arising from violations of, or nonconformance with laws, rules, regulations, prescribed practices, internal policies and procedures or ethical standards. Compliance risk can expose us to fines, civil money penalties, payment of damages and the voiding of contracts. Both operational and compliance risks also can have serious reputation risk issues for the Company as well.
 
The Company addresses such risks through the establishment of comprehensive policies and procedures with respect to internal control, the management and operation of its information and communication systems, disaster recovery, and compliance with laws, regulations and banking "best practice." Monitoring of the efficacy of such policies and procedures is performed through a combination of the Company's internal audit program, through periodic internal and third-party compliance reviews, and through the ongoing attention of its managers charged with supervising compliance and operational control. Oversight of these activities is provided by the Company's General Counsel and the Board of Directors.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices  
 

The financial statements, accompanying notes, and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollar amounts without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Most of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature, and, therefore, the impact of interest rates has a greater impact on our performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

REPORT OF MANGEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
The management of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. ("the Company") is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The internal control process has been designed under management’s supervision to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, transactions and dispositions of assets; and provide reasonable assurances that: (1) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; (2) receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014, utilizing the framework established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014 is effective based on those criteria.

The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014 has been audited by Wolf & Company, P.C., an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which follows. The report expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Hampden Bancorp, Inc.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of net income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated September 12, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of Hampden Bancorp, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Hampden Bancorp, Inc.

We have audited Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries' (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries' management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the company’s financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the June 30, 2014 consolidated financial statements of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and our report dated September 12, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion.

HAMPDEN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, 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 (“ESOP”) to allow it to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The 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 is inactive.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of deferred tax assets are material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term.
 
Business and Operating Segments
 
The Company provides a variety of financial services to individuals and small businesses through its Internet operations and ten offices in Hampden County, Massachusetts, and surrounding communities. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings and term certificate accounts and its primary lending products are residential mortgage and commercial loans.
 
Financial information is reported on the basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. Management evaluates the Company's performance and allocates resources based on a single segment concept. Accordingly, there are no separately identified material operating segments for which discrete financial information is available. The Company does not derive revenues from, or have assets located in foreign countries, nor does it derive revenues from any single customer that represents 10% or more of the Company's total revenues.
 
Reclassification
 
Amounts in prior years consolidated financial statements are reclassified where necessary to conform to the current year presentation.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Statements of Cash Flows
 
Cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and short-term investments with original maturities of less than 90 days are recognized as cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Federal funds sold generally mature in one day. Cash flows from loans and deposits are reported on a net basis, except for loan purchases. The Company maintains amounts due from banks that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses from such concentrations.
 
Securities
 
Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "held to maturity" and recorded at amortized cost. Securities not classified as held to maturity, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as "available for sale" and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income.
 
Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Realized gains and losses on disposition of securities are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


Fair Value Hierarchy
 
The Company groups its assets generally measured at fair value in three levels based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine the fair value, as follows:
 
Level 1:
Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available.

Level 2:
Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets 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 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 a reporting period if applicable.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
 
The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLB"), is required to invest in shares of $100 par value stock of the FHLB in the amount of 1% of the Bank’s outstanding residential loans or 5% of its outstanding advances from the FHLB, whichever is higher. Based on redemption provisions of the FHLB, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost. At its discretion, the FHLB may declare dividends on its stock. The Company reviews its investment in FHLB stock for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis in the FHLB stock. As of June 30, 2014, no impairment has been recognized.
 
Loans Held for Sale
 
Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value in the aggregate, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to non-interest income. Gains or losses on sales of mortgage loans are recognized based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related mortgage loans sold. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no material derivative loan commitments.
 
Loans
 
The Company grants mortgage, commercial, and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio consists of mortgage loans in Hampden and Hampshire Counties, Massachusetts, and surrounding communities. The ability of the Company's debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the local real estate market and economy.
 
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated and purchased loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.
 
The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued when reasonable doubt exists as to the full collection of interest and principal or at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Other personal loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due. Past due status is based on the contractual term of the loans. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return

F-11

HAMPDEN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


to accrual status. Loans are reclassified to accrual status once the borrower has shown the ability and an acceptable history of repayment of 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.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses
 
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 collectability 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 further described below.
 
Specific allocation
 
Specific loss allocations are made for loans determined to be impaired. Specific allocations result 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 value of the collateral is based on the most current appraised value, tax assessed value, discounted cash flow valuation or other available information.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor 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 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 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 troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). All TDRs are initially classified as impaired.
 
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment unless such loans are subject to a troubled debt restructuring agreement.
 
General allocation
 
The general allocation is determined by segregating the remaining loans, by loan segment 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 year ended June 30, 2014.
 
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

F-12

HAMPDEN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


potential risk of loss. This process concentrates on non-accrual and classified loans with risk ratings of six or higher. Any loan determined to be impaired is evaluated for potential loss exposure as previously described.
 
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 one- to four-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 - Home equity loans are broken out into two segments, secured by first or second mortgages on one- to four-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 non-speculative real estate loans. All loans in this segment are collateralized by one- to four-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 are 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, and resultant decreased consumer spending, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

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.
 
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 third parties. The Company has the ability to select the automobile loans it purchases based on its own underwriting standards.
Other consumer loans – Loans in this segment are generally unsecured and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
 
A modified loan is considered a TDR when two conditions are met: (1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and (2) concessions are made by the Company that would not otherwise be considered for a borrower with similar risk characteristics. The most common types of modifications include below market interest rate reductions, deferrals of principal and maturity extensions. Modified terms are dependent upon the financial position and needs of the individual borrower. If the modification agreement is violated, the loan is handled by the Company's Collections Department for resolution, which may result in foreclosure. The Company's determination of whether a loan modification is a TDR considers the individual facts and circumstances surrounding each modification.
 

F-13

HAMPDEN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


The Company's nonaccrual policy is followed for TDRs. If the loan was current prior to modification, nonaccrual status may not be required. If the loan was on nonaccrual prior to modification or if the payment amount significantly increases, the loan will remain on nonaccrual for a period of at least six months. Loans qualify for return to accrual status once the borrower has demonstrated the willingness and the ability to perform in accordance with the restructured terms of the loan agreement for a period of not less than six months and future payments are reasonably assured.
 
TDR classifications may be removed if the borrower demonstrates compliance with the modified terms and the restructuring agreement specifies an interest rate equal to that which would be provided to a borrower with similar risk characteristics at the time of restructuring. All TDRs are initially reported as impaired.
 
Loan Servicing
 
Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets at fair value when rights are acquired through purchase or through sale of financial assets. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation technique using the present value of estimated future cash flows calculated using current market discount rates. Servicing assets are measured at fair value at each reporting period and changes in fair value are recognized in other non-interest income in the period in which the change occurs.
 
Transfers of Financial Assets
 
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
 
During the normal course of business, the Company may transfer a portion of a financial asset, for example, a participation loan or the government guaranteed portion of a loan. In order to be eligible for sales treatment, the transfer of the portion of the loan must meet the criteria of a participating interest. If it does not meet the criteria of a participating interest, the transfer must be accounted for as a secured borrowing. In order to meet the criteria for a participating interest, all cash flows from the loan must be divided proportionately, the rights of each loan holder must have the same priority, the loan holders must have no recourse to the transferor other than standard representations and warranties and no loan holder can have the right to pledge or exchange the entire loan.
 
Bank-Owned Life Insurance
 
Bank-owned life insurance policies are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet at cash surrender value. Changes in cash surrender value are reflected in non-interest income on the consolidated statement of net income and are not subject to income taxes.
 
Premises and Equipment
 
Land is carried at cost. Buildings, leasehold improvements and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the expected term of the lease, if shorter. Expected terms include lease option periods to the extent that the exercise of such options is reasonably assured. The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred.
 
Other Real Estate Owned
 
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 less estimated cost to sell is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Management, or its designee, inspects all OREO property periodically. Holding costs and declines in fair value subsequent to transfer result in charges to non-interest expense.

Advertising Costs
 
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes
 
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. As changes in the tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted accordingly through the provision for income taxes. The Company's base amount of its federal income tax reserve for loan losses is a permanent difference for which there is no recognition of a deferred tax liability. However, the loan loss allowance maintained for financial reporting purposes is a temporary difference with allowable recognition of a related deferred tax asset, if it is deemed realizable. The Company exercises significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax assets and liabilities. These judgments require projections of future taxable income. These judgments and estimates, which are inherently subjective, are reviewed periodically as regulatory and business factors change. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
The Company has no material uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2014 or 2013.
 
The Company records interest and penalties as part of income tax expense. No interest and penalties were recorded for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
 
Income tax benefits related to stock compensation in excess of grant date fair value less any proceeds on exercise are recognized as an increase to additional paid-in capital upon vesting or exercising and delivery of the stock. Any income tax effects related to stock compensation that are less than grant date fair value less any proceeds on exercise would be recognized as a reduction of additional paid-in capital to the extent of previously recognized income tax benefits and then through income tax expense for the remaining amount.
 
Treasury Stock
 
Common stock shares repurchased are recorded as treasury stock at cost.

Equity Incentive Plan
 
The Company measures compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions based on the grant date fair value of the equity instruments issued. Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period of such awards on a straight-line basis. Unrecognized compensation cost applicable to restricted stock awards is recorded as unearned compensation and a reduction of stockholders’ equity. The fair value of stock option awards are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which includes several assumptions such as expected volatility, dividends, term and risk-free rate for each stock option award. See Note 14 for additional information. Reductions in compensation expense associated with forfeited awards are estimated at the grant date, and this estimated forfeiture rate is adjusted based on actual forfeiture experience.         
 
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
 
Compensation expense is recognized based on the fair value of shares at the time they are committed to be released to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) participants. All shares held by the ESOP that are released and committed to be released are deemed outstanding for purposes of earnings per share calculations. The value of unearned shares to be allocated to ESOP participants for future services not yet performed is recorded as unearned compensation and a reduction of stockholders’ equity.
 
Comprehensive Income/loss
 
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported

Earnings Per Common 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 unvested restricted stock or shares subject to options) were issued during the period. Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are shown as a reduction of stockholders' equity, and are included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted earnings per share calculations when committed to be released. Unvested restricted shares are not considered outstanding in the computation of basic earnings per share since the rights to the dividends are forfeitable.
 
Earnings per common share have been computed based upon the following:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-2 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The standard requires that companies present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The new requirements took effect for public companies in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. This ASU guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The ASU was issued to clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the ASU amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014, and the ASU is to be adopted using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. The Company does not believe such ASU will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the interim and annual periods in 2014, other than the additional disclosures required.

2. RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND AMOUNTS DUE FROM BANKS
 
The Company is required to maintain average balances on hand or with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. At June 30, 2014 and 2013, these reserve balances amounted to $7.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively.

Residential mortgage-backed agency securities are mortgage-backed securities that have been issued by the federal government or its agencies or government-sponsored enterprises. Residential mortgage-backed non-agency securities are mortgage-backed securities that have been issued by private mortgage originators.

During the year ended June 30, 2014, $9.3 million in municipal securities were transferred at fair value from the available for sale category to the held to maturity category, as management has no intentions of selling any municipal security prior to maturity. There is no readily available market pricing and no active market to sell these securities, however management believes that the amortized cost of these securities approximates fair value based on their relatively short terms to maturity.

Certain investment securities are pledged to secure FHLB advances. See Note 8.

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 was no impairment charge recognized for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES (Concluded)

At June 30, 2014, 47 debt securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 2.5% 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, its agencies or government-sponsored enterprises, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analyst's reports. The unrealized losses in residential mortgage-backed securities were primarily caused by interest rate
changes. 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 June 30, 2014, nine securities issued by private mortgage originators had unrealized losses. Such securities had an amortized cost of $382,000 and a fair value of $377,000. 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. 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 determined that no OTTI existed as of June 30, 2014.
 
4. LOAN SERVICING
 
In the ordinary course of business, the Company sells real estate loans in the secondary market. The Company retains servicing on loans sold and earns servicing fees of .25% per annum based on the monthly outstanding balances of the loans serviced. The Company recognizes servicing assets each time it undertakes an obligation to service loans sold. Calculation of the fair value of mortgage servicing assets is based on Service Release Premium (“SRP”) rates for conforming fixed rate mortgages obtained from correspondent lenders.  SRP rates vary based on the outstanding balances of the mortgages and are periodically adjusted based on mortgage prepayments and market conditions.
 
The changes in servicing assets measured using fair value are as follows:

The unpaid principal balance of mortgages serviced for others was $71.8 million and $67.7 million at June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. 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 years ended June 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012, amounts recognized for loan servicing fees amounted to $321,000, $346,000, and $239,000, respectively, which are included in other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of net income.

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 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 June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the Company was servicing loans for participants aggregating $34.4 million and $35.0 million, respectively.
 
During fiscal years 2014 and 2013, the Company purchased manufactured home loans aggregating $3.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively. During fiscal years 2014 and 2013, the Company purchased automobile loans aggregating $2.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively.
 
Certain residential and home equity loans are subject to a blanket lien securing FHLB advances. See Note 8.

LOANS (Continued)

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. At origination, management assigns risk ratings to one- to four-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 results of the Company’s quarterly loan review process are summarized by, and appropriate recommendations and loan loss allowances are approved by, the Loan Review Committee (the “Committee”). All supporting documentation with regard to the evaluation process, loan loss experience, allowance levels and the schedules of classified loans is maintained by the Company. The Committee is chaired by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The allowance for loan losses calculation is presented to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis with recommendations on its adequacy.

The Company had no new TDR loan relationships in the year ended June 30, 2014. During fiscal 2014 and 2013, there were no TDR loans that were restructured within the previous twelve months that had any payment defaults.
 
The Company had two new TDR loan relationships in the year ended June 30, 2013. One loan relationship consists of a commercial real estate loan with a pre-modification balance totaling $528,000 and post-modification balance totaling $551,000. An impairment amount of $13,000 was calculated from the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. The Company capitalized the interest and expenses and restructured the payments for this loan. The second new TDR loan relationship is a commercial loan with a pre-modification and post-modification balance totaling $1.0 million.  The restructure did not result in any impairment from the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. The Company restructured the payments for this loan.
 
The Company had two new TDR loan relationships in the year ended June 30, 2012. One loan relationship consists of a home equity loan and a one-to-four family residential loan with pre-modification balances aggregating $225,000 and post-modification balances aggregating $232,000. The Company capitalized the interest and expenses and restructured the payments for these loans. The restructure did not result in any impairment from the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. The second was a commercial loan totaling $686,000 where the maturity date was extended by two years and a small impairment amount was calculated from the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. One TDR loan relationship that was restructured as of June 30, 2011 had payment defaults during the year ended June 30, 2012. This loan relationship included four loans comprised of two one-to-four family residential loans totaling $199,000, one home equity loan totaling $26,000, and one commercial real estate loan totaling $170,000 as of June 30, 2012.

8. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
 
Short-term borrowings consist of FHLB advances with an original maturity within one year at a weighted average rate of 0.33% and 0.37%, at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. All borrowings from the FHLB are secured by a blanket lien on qualified collateral, defined principally as 75% of the carrying value of first mortgage and first lien fixed rate home equity loans on owner-occupied residential property, and investments held at Hampden Investment Corporation ("HIC"). All of the assets held at HIC are pledged to the FHLB, at June 30, 2014, total assets of HIC were $108.7 million.
 
At June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had an Ideal Way Line of Credit available with the FHLB of $2.0 million, of which there were no amounts outstanding. In addition, the Company had lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and Bankers Bank Northeast totaling $10.0 million and $7.4 million at June 30, 2014, respectively, of which there were no amounts outstanding. As of June 30, 2014, the investments pledged for collateral with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston had a fair value of $11.3 million.

In fiscal 2013, the Company eliminated its valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset related to its charitable contribution carryforward as it expired. There was a charge of $35,000 to income tax expense as a result of the expiration. In fiscal 2012, the Company increased the valuation allowance by $25,000. The valuation allowance was established to reflect the uncertainty of fully utilizing a five-year charitable contribution carryforward of approximately $3.5 million that expired on October 31, 2012. The carryforward was created primarily by the contribution of 378,566 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Hampden Bank Charitable Foundation as part of the mutual to stock conversion.
 
As of June 30, 2014, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realizable through future earnings and future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences.
 
The federal income tax reserve for loan losses at the Company's base year amounted to $2.3 million. If any portion of the reserve is used for purposes other than to absorb loan losses, approximately 150% of the amount actually used, limited to the amount of the reserve, would be subject to taxation in the fiscal year in which used. As the Company intends to use the reserves solely to absorb loan losses, a deferred income tax liability of $887,000 has not been provided.
 
The Company’s income tax returns are subject to review and examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The Company is currently open to audit under applicable statutes of limitation by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended October 31, 2011 through June 30, 2013. The Company changed its tax year end to coincide with the Company's fiscal year end,

F-31

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

and a short return was filed for the period November 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013. The years open to examination by state taxing authorities vary by jurisdiction. However, no years prior to October 31, 2011 are open.
 
11.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
Loan commitments
 
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
The Company's exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of financial instruments outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk is as follows:

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. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Commitments to grant loans are generally secured by real estate. Unadvanced lines of credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements as these commitments may expire without being drawn upon. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. Funds disbursed on construction loans and home equity lines of credit are collateralized by real estate. Overdraft lines of credit are unsecured.
 
Unadvanced funds on commercial lines of credit are generally secured by the business assets of the borrower.
 
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance by a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit are generally secured by cash, business assets, or real estate. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The amount of the liability related to guarantees at June 30, 2014 and 2013 is not material.
 
Operating Leases
 
Pursuant to the terms of noncancelable lease agreements in effect at June 30, 2014, pertaining future minimum rent commitments under various operating leases for the years ending June 30, 2015 through 2019 and thereafter amounted to $349,000, $331,000, $330,000, $297,000, $271,000 and $1,567,000, respectively.
 
The leases contain options to extend for periods of five and ten year terms. The cost of such rentals is not included above. Rent expense amounted to $366,000, $378,000 and $324,000 for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Concluded)


Contingencies
 
Various legal claims arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, these claims will have no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
Employment and change-of-control agreements
 
         The Company entered into an employment agreement with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President in October 2012. The employment agreement provides for an annual base salary, subject to increase, and certain other benefits. It also guarantees customary corporate indemnification and insurance coverage under a standard directors’ and officers’ insurance policy throughout the employment term. The initial term of the agreement is three years. The term automatically extends at the conclusion of the initial term for a successive term of twelve months, unless notice not to renew is given by either party, or unless the agreement is earlier terminated by the parties. Following termination of the executive’s employment, the executive must adhere to non-competition and non-disclosure restrictions for one year, or for a period of time equal to the officer’s severance benefit, whichever is longer. Our employment agreement also provides certain termination and change in control benefits and payments. Under the agreement, if within the period ending two years after a change in control as defined in the agreement, Hampden Bank or Hampden Bancorp terminates the executive without “cause” or the executive resigns with “good reason”, as defined in the agreements, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President would be entitled to a severance payment equal to two times the average of his annual compensation for the five preceding taxable years.
 
The Company entered into change-in-control agreements with certain other officers. Depending on the officer, the change-in-control agreements provide for a severance payment equal to either one or two times the individual’s average annual compensation for the five most recent taxable years.  The terms of each change-in-control agreement may be extended by the Board of Directors of Hampden Bank for an additional year.
 
12. MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
 
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's and the Bank's consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to the Company.
 
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, that the Company and the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
 
As of June 30, 2014, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category.

      In July 2013, the FDIC and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that will revise their leverage and risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Among other things, the rule establishes a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), increases the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assigns a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The final rule also requires unrealized gains and losses on certain “available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital unless a one-time opt-out is exercised. The rule limits a banking organization's capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The final rule becomes effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning January 1, 2016 and ending January 1, 2019, when the full capital conservation buffer requirement will be effective. Management believes that the Company and the Bank will continue to exceed all minimum capital ratio requirements.

13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
401(k) plan
 
The Company provides a 401(k) retirement savings plan for eligible employees. Each employee reaching the age of 21 and having completed at least 1,000 hours of service in a twelve-month period automatically becomes a participant in the plan. For participating employees, the Company contributes an amount equal to 3% of each employee’s compensation for the plan year to their participation account and makes matching contributions equal to 50% of the first 2% of each participant’s deferred compensation for the plan year. Contributions for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $257,000, $268,000 and $220,000, respectively.
 
Supplemental retirement benefits
 
The Company has entered into supplemental retirement benefit agreements with certain officers and directors which provide for annual retirement benefits. The present value of future payments is being accrued monthly over the required service periods. Supplemental retirement benefit expense for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $246,000,



EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (Concluded)

HAMPDEN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


$306,000 and $382,000, respectively. In connection with the supplemental retirement agreements, the Company maintains a liability account with balances of $2.3 million and $3.3 million at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
 Employee Stock Ownership Plan
 
The Company contributed funds to a subsidiary, Hampden LS, Inc., to enable it to make a 15-year loan to the ESOP to allow it to purchase shares of the Company common stock. On January 16, 2007, the ESOP purchased 635,990 shares, or 8% of the 7,949,879 shares issued in the Company’s initial public offering. This plan is a tax-qualified retirement plan for the benefit of eligible Company employees.  The plan is created for the purpose of providing retirement benefits to participants and their beneficiaries in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and Title I of ERISA. Eligible employees who have attained age 21 and have been employed by the Company for three months as of January 16, 2007 were eligible to participate in the plan. Thereafter, employees who have attained the age of 21 and have completed 1,000 hours of service during a continuous 12-month period will be eligible to participate as of the first entry date following completion of the plan’s eligibility requirements.

At June 30, 2014, the principal balance on the ESOP debt is payable over the years ending June 30, 2015 to 2019 and thereafter in the amount of $399,000, $432,000, $467,000, $506,000, $548,000, and $1.9 million, respectively.
 
The Company has committed to make contributions to the ESOP sufficient to support the debt service of the loan. The loan is secured by the shares purchased, which are held in a suspense account and allocated among the participants as the loan is repaid. Cash dividends paid on allocated shares are distributed to participants and cash dividends paid on unallocated shares are used to repay the outstanding debt of the ESOP.

Shares held by the ESOP include the following:

14. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
 
Stock Options
 
Under the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), 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. On April 29, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company granted stock options to purchase 595,000 shares of common stock to its directors and employees. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and the maximum term of each option is 10 years. For the options that were awarded on April 29, 2008, the vesting period is five years from date of grant, with vesting at 20% per year, except that the Company’s options granted to its former chief executive officer vest over four years from date of grant at 25% per year. At June 30, 2014, all of these options were fully vested. During the year ended June 30, 2013, 35,000 stock options with an exercise price of $12.51 per share were awarded to employees and the vesting period is five years from date of grant. During the year ended June 30, 2014, 10,000 stock options with an exercise price of $16.49 per share were awarded to an employee and the vesting period is five years from date of grant. There are 188,987 stock options that are available to be granted as of June 30, 2014. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for options granted during the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012:

The expected volatility is based on historical volatility through the date of grant. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the awards is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected term is based on the simplified method calculation allowed for “plain vanilla” share options. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts.

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. The stock awards vest at 20% - 25% per year. During the year ended June 30, 2013, 3,000 shares of restricted stock were awarded with a grant date fair value of $12.51 per share that vest over a five years period. There were no shares of restricted stock awarded during the year ended June 30, 2014. 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. The Company recognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards of $9,000, $247,000 and $596,000 for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The tax benefit related to the vesting of restricted stock awards was $1,000, $105,000 and $42,000 for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, there was $8,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock awards granted under the Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a period of 3.1 years.

15. RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS, LOANS AND ADVANCES

        Federal and state banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid and loans or advances made by the Bank to the Company. The total amount of dividends which may be paid at any date is generally limited to the retained earnings of the Bank, and loans or advances are limited to 10% of the Bank’s capital stock and surplus on a secured basis.

At June 30, 2014, the Bank’s retained earnings available for the payment of dividends was $45.5 million. At June 30, 2014, $29.8 million of the Company’s equity in the net assets of the Bank was restricted. Funds available for loans or advances by the Bank to the Company amounted to $7.5 million.
 
In addition, dividends paid by the Bank to the Company would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements.
 
In 2007, as part of the conversion to a stock company, the Company established a liquidation account in an amount equal to the net worth of the Bank as of the date of the last consolidated balance sheet appearing in the final prospectus distributed in connection with the conversion. The amount of the liquidation account as of June 30, 2014 is $4.3 million; however, this amount will decline over time. The liquidation account is maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders who maintain their accounts at the Company after the conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that such account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits as of each anniversary date. Subsequent increases will not restore an account holder's interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation, each eligible account holder will be entitled to receive balances for accounts then held.

16. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
 
Determination of Fair Value
 
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument is 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. Fair value is best determined based on quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s assets and liabilities. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair vales 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 for future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the asset or liability.
 
Methods and assumptions for valuing the Company’s financial instruments are set forth below. Estimated fair values are calculated based on the value without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument, possible tax ramifications or estimated transaction costs.
 
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term investments approximate fair values.
 
Securities: The securities measured at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are government-sponsored enterprises, corporate bonds and other obligations, mortgage-backed securities and common stocks. The fair values used by the Company are obtained from an independent pricing service which are not adjusted by management and, 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. Municipal securities are valued utilizing Level 3 inputs. Since there is no readily available market pricing and no active market to sell these securities, management believes that the amortized cost of these securities approximates fair value based on their relatively short terms to maturity.
 
FHLB stock: The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates fair value based upon the redemption provisions of the FHLB.
 
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 analysis, 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 analysis 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 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 and mortgage escrow accounts: The fair values for non-certificate accounts and mortgage escrow 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.
 
Short-term borrowings: The carrying amount of short-term borrowings approximates fair value.
 
Long-term debt: The fair values of the Company's advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on current market borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.




F-39

HAMPDEN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (Continued)

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 June 30, 2014 and 2013 was not material.

The Company does not measure any liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

Also, the Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  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 carrying value of the related individual assets as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 all classified in Level 3 fair value hierarchy:

$
1,513

 
During the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 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 current tax assessed value, discounted by 20%. 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. If the impaired loan is being actively marketed, the Company uses the realtor’s market analysis or listing price discounted by 10% and less 5% for realtor commission, instead of the tax assessment. The Company had a $102,000 loss on impaired loans for the year ended June 30, 2014 compared to a $103,000 loss and a $121,000 loss for years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Any resulting losses are recognized in earnings through the provision for loan losses. The Company charges off any collateral shortfall on collateral dependent impaired loans.
 
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. The Company had $226,000 loss on OREO, including a charge to the allowance for loan losses, for the year ended June 30, 2014. The Company had no loss on OREO, for the year ended June 30, 2013. The Company had a $362,000 loss on OREO, including a charge to the allowance for loan losses, for the year ended June 30, 2012.

Summary of Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts and related estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows. 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.
