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

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The financial information included herein as of March 31, 2009 and for the interim periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management the information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation. The results shown for the interim period ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2008 included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company on September 12, 2008.

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

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 (Revised 2007),“Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), which requires an acquiring entity to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at their fair value as of the acquisition date, with limited exception, changes the accounting treatment for certain specific items and expands disclosure requirements. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurement" (“SFAS 157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands the disclosures about fair value measurement. This Statement was developed to provide guidance for consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and disclosures and applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 which delays the effective date of Statement No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.The Company adopted SFAS 157 effective July 1, 2008 and it did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. See Note 6 for more details.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS 159"). This Statement provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Statement's objective is to reduce both the complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company adopted SFAS 159 effective July 1, 2008, but has not elected to measure any permissible items at fair value. As a result, the adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.



In March 2007, the Emerging Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-10, "Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements" ("EITF 06-10"). Under this EITF, the Company is required to recognize a liability for postretirement benefits related to collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangements.  The Company adopted the provision of this standard effective July 1, 2008. As a result of the adoption of EITF 06-10, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment for a change in accounting principle as a reduction to retained earnings of $457,000.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus reached in EITF 06-11 “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (“EITF 06-11”). EITF 06-11 applies to entities that have share-based payment arrangements that entitle employees to receive dividends or dividend equivalents on equity-classified unvested shares when those dividends or dividend equivalents are charged to retained earnings and result in an income tax deduction. Entities that have share-based payment arrangements that fall within scope of EITF 06-11 will be required to increase capital surplus for any realized income tax benefit associated with dividends or dividend equivalents paid to employees for equity classified unvested equity awards. EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. This Statement became effective for the Company on July 1, 2008 and did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP 03-6-1”), which addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of FASB Statement No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. FSP 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. All prior-period earnings per share data presented shall be adjusted retrospectively (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings and selected financial data) to conform with the provisions of FSP 03-6-1. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP 157-3”).  FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP 157-3 was effective immediately upon issuance, and includes prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued.  The Company applied the guidance contained in FSP 157-3 in determining fair values at December 31, 2008, and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20” (“FSP 99-20-1”). FSP 99-20-1 amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The FSP also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in FASB Statement No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and other related guidance. FSP 99-20-1 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008. This Statement became effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 115-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (FSP 115-2). FSP 115-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP 115-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively.


In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 107-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (FSP 107-1). This FASB Staff Position (FSP) amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP 107-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.

3. Earnings Per Share

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

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

There were 595,000 stock options for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 that were excluded from the diluted earnings per share because their effect is anti-dilutive. In addition, there were 317,996 unvested restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2009 that were excluded from the diluted earnings per share because their effect is anti-dilutive.

4. Dividends

On January 27, 2009, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.03 per common share which was paid on February 26, 2009 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 11, 2009.




 
5. Loan Commitments and other Contingencies
 
Outstanding loan commitments and other contingencies totaled $79.9 million at March 31, 2009, compared to $71.9 million as of June 30, 2008. Loan commitments and other contingencies primarily consist of commitments to originate new loans as well as the outstanding unused portions of home equity, business and other lines of credit, and unused portions of construction loans.

6. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
 
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:
 
     
Level 1:
  
Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.
   
Level 2:
  
Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
   
Level 3:
  
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
 
The following table presents the balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2009:
 

     
Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)
 
Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)

        The securities measured at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are government-sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities and common stocks. The fair values used by the Company are obtained from an independent pricing service, which represents either quoted market prices for identical securities, quoted market prices for comparable securities or fair values determined by pricing models that consider observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems and other market indicators, industry and economic events.
 
        Also, the Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets on a non-recurring basis in accordance with GAAP.  These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets as of March 31, 2009.

        The amount of loans represents the carrying value of impaired loans for which adjustments are based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. The fair value of collateral used by the Company represents the amount expected to be received from the sale of the property, net of selling costs, as determined by an independent, licensed or certified appraiser using observable market data. This data includes information such as selling price of similar properties, expected future cash flows or earnings of the subject property based on current market expectations, as well as relevant legal, physical and economic factors. The resulting gain was recognized in earnings through the provision for loan loss.


Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (unaudited)
 
This section is intended to help investors understand the financial performance of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries through a discussion of the factors affecting our financial condition at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008 and our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this document.

Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements herein constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the beliefs and expectations of management, as well as the assumptions made using information currently available to management. Since these statements reflect the views of management concerning future events, these statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. As a result, actual results may differ from those contemplated by these statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words like "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", and "intend" or future or conditional verbs such as "will", "would", "should", "could", or "may." Certain factors that could have a material adverse affect on the operations Hampden Bank include, but are not limited to, increased competitive pressure among financial service companies, national and regional economic conditions, changes in interest rates, changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve Board, adverse changes in the securities markets, inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to Hampden Bank, changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines and our ability to successfully implement our branch expansion strategy. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, future events or otherwise.
 
Critical Accounting Policies

We consider accounting policies that require management to exercise significant judgment or discretion, or make significant assumptions that have or could have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, or related disclosures, to be critical accounting policies.  

Management believes that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our Board. We consider the following to be our critical accounting policies:

Securities

Critical Estimates. 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 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. Declines in fair value of securities held to maturity and available for sale below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses.

In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. 


        Judgment and Uncertainties. Management’s other-than-temporary impairment analysis contains uncertainties because the analysis requires management to use historical information as well as current economic data and financial condition of the issuer to make assumptions on the value of the issuer.  This evaluation requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
 
        Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. If actual results are not consistent with management’s estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to an other-than-temporary impairment loss that could be material and could have a negative impact on the company’s earnings.

Allowance for loan losses

Critical Estimates. The allowance for loan losses is 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 uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular 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.

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, collateral value, or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

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

Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. Adverse changes in management’s assessment of the factors used to determine the allowance for loan losses could lead to additional provisions. Actual loan losses could differ materially from management’s estimates if actual losses and conditions differ significantly from the assumptions utilized, which could negatively affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. These factors and conditions include general economic conditions within the Company’s market, trends within industries, real estate and other collateral values, interest rates and the financial condition of the individual borrower.

 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.


Comparison of Financial Condition (unaudited) at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008

Overview

    Total Assets The Company’s total assets increased by $33.9 million, or 6.2%, from $543.8 million at June 30, 2008 to $577.7 million at March 31, 2009. Net loans, including loans held for sale, increased $23.9 million, or 6.6%, to $384.7 million at March 31, 2009. A partial offset to this increase was a decrease in securities available for sale of $3.0 million, or 2.4%, to $120.9 million at March 31, 2009.

    Investment Activities. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $11.7 million, or 34.9%, from $33.6 million at June 30, 2008 to $45.3 million at March 31, 2009. Securities available for sale decreased $3.0 million, or 2.4%, to $120.9 million at March 31, 2009. An increase in mortgage-backed securities was more than offset by declines in obligations issued by government-sponsored enterprises and common stock. The following table sets forth at the dates indicated information regarding the amortized cost and fair values of the Company’s investment securities.

                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. Non-accrual loans totaled $5.8 million, or 1.00% of total assets, at March 31, 2009 compared to $4.8 million, or 0.89% of total assets, at June 30, 2008. There was an increase in residential mortgage non-accrual loans of $2.0 million, an increase in construction non-accrual loans of $1.1 million, an increase in commercial real estate non-accrual loans of $97,000 and an increase in consumer non-accrual loans of $263,000 at March 31, 2009. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in commercial non-accrual loans of $2.6 million at March 31, 2009.
 
    A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company generally does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures. At March 31, 2009, impaired loans totaled $3.5 million with an established valuation allowance of $361,000.
 
    While the Company believes that it has established adequate specifically allocated and general allowances for losses on loans, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if future conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the evaluations. In addition, as an integral part of their examination process, the Company’s regulators periodically review the allowance for loan losses. These regulatory agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination, thereby negatively affecting the Company’s financial condition and earnings.
 
    The Company classifies property acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure as other real estate owned (“OREO”) in its consolidated financial statements. When property is placed into OREO, it is recorded at the fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure or acceptance of deed in lieu of foreclosure. At the time of transfer to OREO, any excess of carrying value over fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Management, or its designee, inspects all OREO property periodically. Holding costs and declines in fair value result in charges to expense after the property is acquired. At March 31, 2009, the Company had five properties of $409,000 classified as OREO. Two of these properties were commercial real estate loans worth $409,000 and three properties were manufactured home loans worth $64,000. The manufactured home loans had a specific reserve as of March 31, 2009 for the full value of the properties of $64,000.

    Deposits increased $50.8 million, or 15.3%, to $382.2 million at March 31, 2009 from $331.4 million at June 30, 2008. There were increases in time deposits of $22.8 million, increases in money market accounts of $20.2 million, increases in NOW accounts of $5.7 million, increases in savings accounts of $1.5 million, and increases in demand accounts of $447,000 from June 30, 2008 to March 31, 2009.

    Borrowings include advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLB”), as well as securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and have decreased $17.5 million, or 16.1%, to $91.2 million at March 31, 2009 from $108.7 million at June 30, 2008. Repayment of advances from the FHLB accounted for a $15.4 million decrease and repurchase agreements accounted for a $2.1 million decrease.
 
    Stockholders’ Equity. The Company repurchased 397,493 shares of Company stock, at an average price of $10.03 per share, in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2009 pursuant to, and completion of, the Company’s Stock Repurchase Program announced in May 2008. The Company repurchased 11,930 shares of Company stock, at an average price of $8.89 per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 in connection with the vesting of the restricted stock grants as part of our 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company purchased these shares from the employee plan participants for settlement of tax withholding obligations. The Company also repurchased 1,065 shares of Company stock, at an average price of $9.05 per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 pursuant to the Company’s second Stock Repurchase Program announced in January 2009. These repurchases contributed to an overall net decrease in stockholders’ equity of $3.3 million, to $97.1 million at March 31, 2009, compared to $100.4 million at June 30, 2008.  Our ratio of capital to total assets decreased to 16.8% as of March 31, 2009, from 18.5% as of June 30, 2008. On December 1, 2008, the Company announced that due to its strong capital position it did not apply for participation in the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program, which is part of the federal government’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”).

Comparison of Operating Results (unaudited) for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008
 
     Net Income. The Company had a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $57,000, or $(0.01) per fully diluted share, as compared to a net profit of $305,000, or $0.04 per fully diluted share, for the same period in 2008. For the three month period ended March 31, 2009, net interest income increased by $353,000 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2008. A partial offset to this increase was a net loss on the sales and write-downs of investment securities of $178,000, including a charge for other than temporary impairment of $184,000 on equity securities for the three month period ended March 31, 2009. There was also an increase in the provision for loan loss of $192,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The increase in the provision for loan losses is due to increases in loan delinquencies, increases in non-accrual loans, growth in the loan portfolio, and general economic conditions. There was an increase in non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $546,000 compared to the same period in 2008. This increase was largely due to an increase in other general and administrative expenses of $192,000, which was mainly due to an increase in deposit insurance expense of $99,000, and an increase in salary and employee benefit expenses, including those related to the equity incentive plan, of $189,000. Income tax expense decreased $46,000 to $93,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. 


 
Analysis of Net Interest Income.

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

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

Net interest income. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $4.0 million, an increase of $353,000 or 9.8%, over the same period of 2008. This was due to a decrease in the average cost of funds of 81 basis points to 2.60% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and an increase in average interest earning assets of $25.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 over the same period in 2008.
 
Interest income. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased $242,000, or 3.4%, to $6.9 million over the same period of 2008. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of investment securities of $11.3 million, or 8.7%, and a decrease in the average balance of fed funds sold and other of $3.8 million, or 17.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, average outstanding net loans increased $40.9 million, or 11.9%, from the average for the three month period ended March 31, 2008, primarily as a result of the growth in commercial and residential mortgage loan portfolios. The average yield on interest earning assets decreased 47 basis points to 5.30% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 5.77% for the same period in 2008.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $595,000, or 16.8%, to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in rates of deposits. The average cost of funds decreased to 2.60% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of 81 basis points from a cost of funds of 3.41% for the same period in 2008.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company’s provision for loan loss expense was $300,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $108,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in the provision for loan losses is due to increases in loan delinquencies, increase in non-accrual loans, growth in the loan portfolio, and general economic conditions. The Company’s total allowance for loan losses increased by $929,000, to $4.0 million, or 1.04% of total loans as of March 31, 2009 compared to $3.1 million, or 0.89% of total loans as of March 31, 2008.


 
    Non-interest Income. Total non-interest income totaled $538,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $23,000 from the same period a year ago. This decrease is due to a net loss on the sales and write-downs of investment securities of $178,000, including a charge for other than temporary impairment of $184,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.
 
    Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $546,000, or 15.1%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period for 2008. This increase was largely due to an increase in other general and administrative expenses of $192,000, which was due to an increase in deposit insurance expense of $99,000, and an increase in salary and employee benefit expenses, including those related to the equity incentive plan, of $196,000. Advertising expenses increased $101,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 from the same period in 2008. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $50,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 due to our new Longmeadow branch that was opened in December 2008, and data processing expenses increased slightly by $14,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to such expenses for the same period in 2008. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company is expecting to have to recognize an expense for a special assessment fee that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is going to impose on all banking institutions. This fee will be material to the Company’s quarterly and yearly earnings. Currently, the proposed FDIC special assessment fee is 20 basis points of each bank’s total deposits as of June 30, 2009, however, this fee may be reduced. If the fee is finalized at 20 basis points the expense will be approximately $800,000 for the Company in fourth quarter 2009.
 
    Income Taxes. Income tax expense decreased $46,000, or 33.1%, to $93,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our combined federal and state effective tax rate was 258.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 31.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase was due to the establishment of a $75,000 valuation reserve due to the uncertainty of the realization of deferred tax assets relating to impairment losses on equity securities.

Comparison of Operating Results (unaudited) for the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008
 
    Net Income. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was $180,000, or $0.03 per fully diluted share, as compared to $980,000, or $0.13 per fully diluted share, for the same period in 2008. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2009, net interest income increased by $867,000 compared to the nine month period ended March 31, 2008. A partial offset to this increase was a net loss on the sales and write-downs of investment securities of $329,000, including a charge for other than temporary impairment of $388,000 on equity securities for the nine month period ended March 31, 2009. There was also an increase in the provision for loan losses of $838,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. There was an increase in non-interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 of $1.5 million. This increase was largely due to an increase in salary and employee benefit expenses related to the equity incentive plan of $581,000, salary and employee benefit expenses, other than those related to the equity incentive plan, of $419,000, and other general and administrative expenses of $356,000 which was mainly due to an increase in deposit insurance expense of $271,000. Income tax expense decreased from $937,000 to $198,000 from the nine months ended March 31, 2008 to the nine months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease was partially due to a $350,000 adjustment in the nine months ended March 31, 2008 to the Company’s valuation reserve against the deferred tax asset established in connection with the Hampden Bank Charitable Foundation.

Analysis of Net Interest Income.

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

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

                The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major categories of the Company’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Information is provided for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (i.e., changes in average balances multiplied by the prior-period average rate) and (ii) changes attributable to rate (i.e., changes in average rate multiplied by prior-period average balances). The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Net interest income. Net interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was $11.8 million, an increase of $868,000, or 8.0%, over the same period of 2008. This was due to a decrease in the average cost of funds of 74 basis points to 2.84% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and an increase in average interest earning assets of $24.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 over the same period in 2008.

Interest income. Interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 decreased $701,000, or 3.2%, to $21.2 million over the same period of 2008. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of investment securities of $11.3 million, or 8.4%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, average outstanding net loans increased $36.7 million, or 10.7%, from the average for the nine month period ended March 31, 2008, primarily as a result of the growth in commercial and residential mortgage loan portfolios. The average yield on interest earning assets decreased 47 basis points to 5.49% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 5.96% for the same period in 2008.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.6 million, or 14.2%, to $9.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in rates of deposits. The average cost of funds decreased to 2.84% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of 74 basis points from a cost of funds of 3.58% for the same period in 2008.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company’s provision for loan loss expense was $1.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $274,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in the provision for loan losses is due to increases in loan delinquencies, increase in non-accrual loans, growth in the loan portfolio, and general economic conditions. The Company’s total allowance for loan losses increased by $929,000, to $4.0 million, or 1.05% of total loans as of March 31, 2009 compared to $3.1 million, or 0.89% of total loans as of March 31, 2008.
 



         Non-interest Income. Total non-interest income totaled $1.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $81,000 from the same period a year ago. This decrease is due to a net loss on the sales and write-downs of investment securities of $329,000, including a charge for other than temporary impairment of $388,000 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2009.
 
    Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $1.5 million, or 14.3%, to $11.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period for 2008. This increase was largely due to an increase in salary and employee benefit expenses related to the equity incentive plan of $581,000. During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, salary and employee benefit expenses, other than those related to the equity incentive plan, increased $420,000, and other general and administrative expenses increased $356,000 which was mainly due to an increase in deposit insurance expense of $271,000 compared to the same period in 2008. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $141,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 due to our new Longmeadow branch that was opened in December 2008, and data processing expenses increased by $60,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2009, compared to such expenses for the same period in 2008. Advertising expenses decreased $70,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from the same period in 2008. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company is expecting to have to recognize an expense for a special assessment fee that the FDIC is going to impose on all banking institutions. This fee will be material to the Company’s quarterly and yearly earnings. Currently, the proposed FDIC special assessment fee is 20 basis points of each bank’s total deposits as of June 30, 2009, however, this fee may be reduced. If the fee is finalized at 20 basis points the expense will be approximately $800,000 for the Company in fourth quarter 2009.
 
    Income Taxes. Income tax expense decreased $739,000, or 78.9%, to $198,000, for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Our combined federal and state effective tax rate was 52.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 48.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The 52.3% effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was due to the establishment of a $75,000 valuation reserve due to the uncertainty of the realization of deferred tax assets relating to impairment losses on equity securities.  The 48.9% effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 was due to a $350,000 adjustment to the Company’s valuation reserve against the deferred tax asset set up for the utilization of the charitable contribution deduction carry-forward generated by the establishment of the Hampden Bank Charitable Foundation.

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 March 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents totaled $45.3 million, or 7.8% of total assets.

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


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

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
There have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk during the nine months ended March 31, 2009. See the discussion and analysis of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk provided in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008 for a general discussion of the qualitative aspects of market risk and discussion of the simulation model used by the Company to measure its interest rate risk.
 
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply this judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
 
 
The Company is not involved in any pending legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. Such routine legal proceedings, in the aggregate, are believed by management to be immaterial to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
 
 
There have been no material changes in the Company’s risk factors during the nine months ended March 31, 2009. See the discussion and analysis of risk factors, in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008.
