Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Organization and Business
 
On June 29, 2011, the Boards of Directors of Farmington Bank, a Connecticut stock savings bank (the “Bank”), First Connecticut Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland-chartered corporation (the “Company”), First Connecticut Bancorp, Inc., a Connecticut-chartered nonstock corporation and mutual holding company (the “MHC”) and Farmington Holdings, Inc., a Connecticut-chartered corporation (the “Mid-Tier”) completed a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization whereby: (1) the MHC converted from the mutual holding company form of organization to the stock holding company form of organization, (2) the Company sold shares of common stock of the Company in a subscription offering, and (3) the Company contributed shares of Company common stock equal to 4.0% of the shares sold in the subscription offering to the Farmington Bank Community Foundation, Inc. (the “Conversion and Reorganization”).  First Connecticut Bancorp, Inc. sold 17,192,500 shares of its common stock to eligible stock holders at $10.00 per share for proceeds of $167.8 million, net of offering costs of $4.1 million. On June 29, 2011, with the completion of the Conversion and Reorganization, First Connecticut Bancorp, Inc. is 100% owned by public shareholders and the MHC and the Mid-Tier ceased to exist.
 
As part of the reorganization, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) for eligible employees. The Company loaned the ESOP the amount needed to purchase up to 1,430,416 shares or 8.0% of the Company’s common stock issued in the offering.  During 2012, the ESOP completed its purchase of 1,430,416 shares of common stock at a cost of $16.9 million. The Bank makes annual contributions adequate to fund the payment of regular debt service requirements attributable to the indebtedness of the ESOP.
 
On July 2, 2012, the Company received regulatory approval to repurchase up to 1,788,020 shares, or 10% of its current outstanding common stock.  As of March 31, 2013 the Company has repurchased 908,087 shares at a cost of $12.1 million, of which 486,947 shares were reissued as part of the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan.  Repurchased shares are held as treasury stock and are available for general corporate purposes.
 
On September 5, 2012, the Company registered 2,503,228 shares to be reserved for issuance to the First Connecticut Bancorp, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan.
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Connecticut Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Farmington Bank, (collectively, the “Company”).  Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
First Connecticut Bancorp, Inc.’s only subsidiary is Farmington Bank.  Farmington Bank’s main office is located in Farmington, Connecticut.  Farmington Bank operates twenty full service branch offices and four limited services offices in central Connecticut.  Farmington Bank’s primary source of income is interest accrued on loans to customers, which include small and middle market businesses and individuals residing within Farmington Bank’s service area.
 
Wholly-owned subsidiaries of Farmington Bank include Farmington Savings Loan Servicing, Inc., a passive investment company that was established to service and hold loans collateralized by real property; Village Investments, Inc. presently inactive; the Village Corp., Limited, a subsidiary that held certain real estate; 28 Main Street Corp., a subsidiary that holds residential other real estate owned; Village Management Corp., a subsidiary that held commercial other real estate owned and Village Square Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary that holds certain bank premises and other real estate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company has condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company’s 10-K filed on March 18, 2013.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
 
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make extensive use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of condition and revenues and expenses for the interim period.  Actual results could differ significantly 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, investment security other-than-temporary impairment judgments and investment security valuation.
 
Reclassifications
 
Amounts in prior period consolidated financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current year presentation.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. ASU No. 2013-02 does not amend any existing requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. ASU No. 2013-02 requires an entity to disaggregate the total change of each component of other comprehensive income (e.g., unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investment securities) and separately present reclassification adjustments and current period other comprehensive income. The provisions of ASU No. 2013-02 also requires that entities 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 (e.g., unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investment securities) and the income statement line item affected by the reclassification (e.g., realized gains (losses) on sales of investment securities). If a component is not required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety (e.g., amortization of defined benefit plan items), entities would instead cross reference to the related note to the financial statements for additional information (e.g., pension footnote). ASU No. 2013-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
 
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” (“ASU No. 2013-01”). ASU No. 2013-01 clarifies that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” and that ASU 2011-11 applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in the ASC or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated statement of condition or results of operations.

Earnings Per Share
 
Basic net earnings per common share is calculated by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net earnings per common share is computed in a manner similar to basic net earnings per common share except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the incremental common shares (as computed using the treasury stock method) that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were issued during the year.  Unvested restricted stock are participating securities and are considered outstanding and included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating both basic and diluted earnings per common share since the shares participate in dividends and the right to dividends are non-forfeitable.  Losses are not allocated to participating securities since there is not a contractual obligation to participate in the net loss.  Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are not included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating both basic and diluted earnings per common share.
 
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Management believes that no individual unrealized loss as of March 31, 2013 represents an other-than-temporary impairment, based on its detailed review of the securities portfolio.  Among other things, the other-than-temporary impairment review of the investment securities portfolio focuses on the combined factors of percentage and the length of time an issue is below book value as well as consideration of issuer specific factors (present value of cash flows expected to be collected, issuer rating changes and trends, credit worthiness and review of underlying collateral, if applicable). The Company also considers whether or not it has the intent to sell the security prior to maturity as well as the extent to which the unrealized loss is attributable to changes in interest rates.
 
The unrealized loss on preferred equity securities in a loss position for 12 months or more relates to one preferred equity security that is rated Ba2 by Moody’s as of March 31, 2013.  A detailed review of the preferred equity security was completed by management and procedures included an analysis of their most recent financial statements and management concluded that the preferred equity security is not other-than-temporarily impaired.
 
The Company has no intent to sell nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell any of the securities contained in the table during the period of time necessary to recover the unrealized losses, which may be until maturity.
 
There were no gross realized gains or losses on sales of securities available for sale for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Troubled Debt Restructuring
 
A loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when we, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grant a concession to the borrower in modifying or renewing the loan that we would not otherwise consider. In connection with troubled debt restructurings, terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with their current financial status, which may include a reduction in the interest rate to market rate or below, a change in the term or movement of past due amounts to the back-end of the loan or refinancing. A loan is placed on non-accrual status upon being restructured, even if it was not previously, unless the modified loan was current for the six months prior to its modification and we believe the loan is fully collectable in accordance with its new terms. Our policy to restore a restructured loan to performing status is dependent on the receipt of regular payments, generally for a period of six months and one calendar year-end. All troubled debt restructurings are classified as impaired loans and are reviewed for impairment by management on a quarterly basis per our policy.
 
The recorded investment balance of TDRs approximated $32.2 million and $29.7 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the majority of the Company’s TDRs are on accrual status. TDRs on accrual status were $24.3 million and $22.1 million while TDRs on nonaccrual status were $7.9 million and $7.6 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. At March 31, 2013, 100% of the accruing TDRs have been performing in accordance with the restructured terms.  At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the allowance for loan losses included specific reserves of $1.3 million and $889,000 related to TDRs, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Bank had charge-offs totaling $293,000 and $-0-, respectively, related to portions of TDRs deemed to be uncollectible.  The amount of additional funds available to borrowers in TDR status was $214,000 and $872,000 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Bank in very rare circumstances may provide additional funds to borrowers in TDR status.

Credit Quality Information
 
At the time of loan origination, a risk rating based on a nine point grading system is assigned to each commercial-related loan based on the loan officer’s and management’s assessment of the risk associated with each particular loan. This risk assessment is based on an in depth analysis of a variety of factors. More complex loans and larger commitments require that our internal credit risk management department further evaluate the risk rating of the individual loan or relationship, with credit risk management having final determination of the appropriate risk rating. These more complex loans and relationships receive ongoing periodic review to assess the appropriate risk rating on a post-closing basis with changes made to the risk rating as the borrower’s and economic conditions warrant. Our risk rating system is designed to be a dynamic system and we grade loans on a “real time” basis. The Company places considerable emphasis on risk rating accuracy, risk rating justification, and risk rating triggers. Our risk rating process has been enhanced with our implementation of industry-based risk rating “cards.” The cards are used by our loan officers and promote risk rating accuracy and consistency on an institution-wide basis. Most loans are reviewed annually as part of a comprehensive portfolio review conducted by management and/or by our independent loan review firm. More frequent reviews of loans rated low pass, special mention, substandard and doubtful are conducted by our credit risk management department. We utilize an independent loan review consulting firm to review our rating accuracy and the overall credit quality of our loan portfolio. The review is designed to provide an evaluation of the portfolio with respect to risk rating profile as well as with regard to the soundness of individual loan files.  The individual loan reviews include an analysis of the creditworthiness of obligors, via appropriate key ratios and cash flow analysis and an assessment of collateral protection.  The consulting firm conducts two loan reviews per year aiming at a 65.0% or higher commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate portfolio penetration. Summary findings of all loan reviews performed by the outside consulting firm are reported to our board of directors and senior management upon completion.
 
The Company utilizes a nine point risk rating scale as follows:
 
Risk Rating Definitions
 
Residential and consumer loans are not rated unless they are 45 days or more delinquent, in which case, depending on past-due days, they will be rated 6, 7 or 8.
 
Loans rated 1 – 5:
Commercial loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.
   
Loans rated 6:
Residential, Consumer and Commercial 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.

The Company places considerable emphasis on the early identification of problem assets, problem-resolution and minimizing loss exposure. Delinquency notices are mailed monthly to all delinquent borrowers, advising them of the amount of their delinquency. When a loan becomes more than 30 days delinquent, we send a letter advising the borrower of the delinquency. Residential and consumer lending borrowers are typically given 30 days to pay the delinquent payments or to contact us to make arrangements to bring the loan current over a longer period of time. Generally, if a residential or consumer lending borrower fails to bring the loan current within 90 days from the original due date or to make arrangements to cure the delinquency over a longer period of time, the matter is referred to legal counsel and foreclosure or other collection proceedings are initiated. The Company may consider forbearance or a loan restructuring in certain circumstances where a temporary loss of income is the primary cause of the delinquency, and if a reasonable plan is presented by the borrower to cure the delinquency in a reasonable period of time after his or her income resumes. Problem or delinquent borrowers in our commercial real estate, commercial business and resort portfolios are handled on a case-by-case basis, typically by our Special Assets Department. Appropriate problem-resolution and workout strategies are formulated based on the specific facts and circumstances.

Credit Arrangements
 
The Company has access to a pre-approved line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”) for $8.8 million, which was undrawn at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The Company has access to a pre-approved unsecured line of credit with a bank totaling $20.0 million, which was undrawn at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The Company has access to a $3.5 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a bank which expires on August 31, 2013.  The Company maintains a cash balance of $262,500 with the bank to avoid fees associated with the above line.  The line was undrawn at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
 
The Company participates in the Federal Reserve Bank’s discount window loan collateral program that enables the Company to borrow up to $87.1 million and $93.9 million on an overnight basis at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and was undrawn as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The funding arrangement was collateralized by $134.4 million and $145.8 million in pledged commercial real estate loans as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The Company is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLBB 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, or up to 4.5% of its advances (borrowings) from the FHLBB. The carrying value of FHLBB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the stock.
 
The Bank has a Master Repurchase Agreement borrowing facility with a broker.  Borrowings under the Master Repurchase Agreement are secured by the Company’s investments in certain treasury bill securities with a fair value of $25.0 million and cash of $451,000.

On December 27, 2012, the Company announced the freezing of the non-contributory defined-benefit pension plan and certain defined benefit postretirement plans as of February 28, 2013.  All benefits under these plans will be frozen as of that date and no additional benefits shall accrue.  As a result, the Company recognized a $1.5 million reduction in pension and defined postretirement benefit expenses related to unrecognized prior service costs for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
The Company expects to contribute a total of $1.0 million to the qualified defined benefit plan for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Since the supplemental plan and the postretirement benefit plans are unfunded, the expected employer contributions for the year ending December 31, 2013 will be equal to the Company’s estimated future benefit payment liabilities less any participant contributions.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan
 
As part of the reorganization, the Company established the ESOP to provide eligible employees the opportunity to own Company stock.  The Company provided a loan to the Farmington Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust in the amount needed to purchase up to 1,430,416 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market subsequent to the initial public offering.  The loan bears an interest rate equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus one percentage point, adjusted annually, and provides for annual payments of interest and principal over the 15 year term of the loan.  At March 31, 2013, the loan had an outstanding balance of $14.8 million and an interest rate of 4.25%.  The Bank has committed to make contributions to the ESOP sufficient to support the debt service of the loan.  The loan is secured by the unallocated shares purchased.  The ESOP compensation expense was $337,000 and $311,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Shares held by the ESOP include the following as of March 31, 2013:

    190,722  
Committed to be released
    23,514  
Unallocated
    1,216,180  
      1,430,416  
 
The fair value of unallocated ESOP shares was $17.9 million at March 31, 2013.

Stock Incentive Plan
 
In August 2012, the Company implemented the First Connecticut Bancorp, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for a total of 2,503,228 shares of common stock for issuance upon the grant or exercise of awards.  The Plan allowed for the granting of 1,788,020 non-qualified stock options and 715,208 shares of restricted stock.
 
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for Share-Based Payments, the Company expenses the fair value of all share-based compensation grants over the requisite service periods.  Stock options granted vested 20% immediately and will vest 20% at each annual anniversary of the grant date through 2016 and expire ten years after grant date. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair values of these awards, which vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards.  Restricted shares granted vested 20% immediately and will vest 20% at each annual anniversary of the grant date through 2016.  The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock determines the fair value of restricted shares under the Company’s restricted stock plan. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of restricted shares on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
 
The Company classifies share-based compensation for employees within “Salaries and employee benefits” and share-based payments for outside directors within “Other operating expenses” in the consolidated statement of operations.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded $1.4 million of share-based compensation expense, respectively, comprised of $518,000 of stock option expense and $904,000 million of restricted stock expense.  Expected future compensation expense relating to the 1,294,807 non-vested options outstanding at March 31, 2013, is $3.9 million over the remaining vesting period of 3.44 years. Expected future compensation expense relating to the 533,767 non-vested restricted shares at March 31, 2013, is $5.9 million over the remaining vesting period of 3.44 years.

The fair value of the options awarded is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table.  Expected volatility is based on the Company’s historical volatility and the historical volatility of a peer group as the Company does not have reliably determined stock price for the period needed that is at least equal to its expected term and the Company’s recent historical volatility may not reflect future expectations.  The peer group consisted of financial institutions located in New England and the Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States based on whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange, asset size, tangible capital ratio and earnings factors. The expected term of options granted is derived from using the simplified method due to the Company not having sufficient historical share option experience upon which to estimate an expected term.  The risk-free rate is based on the grant date for a traded zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond with a term equal to the option’s expected term.

Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Non-Hedge Accounting Derivatives/Non-designated Hedges:
 
The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Interest rate swap derivatives not designated as hedges are offered to certain qualifying commercial customers and to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements but do not meet the strict hedge accounting under FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The interest rate swap agreements enable these customers to synthetically fix the interest rate on variable interest rate loans. The customers pay a variable rate and enter into a fixed rate swap agreement with the Company. The credit risk associated with the interest rate swap derivatives executed with these customers is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans and is subject to our normal credit policies. The Company obtains collateral, if needed, based upon its assessment of the customers’ credit quality. Generally, interest rate swap agreements are offered to “pass” rated customers requesting long-term commercial loans or commercial mortgages in amounts generally of at least $1.0 million. The interest rate swap agreement with our customers is cross-collateralized by the loan collateral. The interest rate swap agreements do not have any embedded interest rate caps or floors.
 
For every variable interest rate swap agreement entered into with a commercial customer, the Company simultaneously enters into a fixed rate interest rate swap agreement with a correspondent bank, PNC Bank, agreeing to pay a fixed income stream and receive a variable interest rate swap. The Company is required to collateralize the fair value of its derivative liability. As of March 31, 2013, the Company maintained a cash balance of $7.9 million with PNC Bank to collateralize our position. The Company’s agreement with PNC Bank will require PNC Bank to collateralize their position at an agreed upon threshold based upon their investor rating at the time should the Company’s liability to them ever become a receivable. As of March 31, 2013, the Company’s agreement would require PNC Bank to secure any outstanding receivable in excess of $10.0 million.
 
Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
 
The Company’s agreement with PNC Bank, its derivative counterparty, contains the following provisions:
 
 
if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations;
 
 
if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well/adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions, and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements;
 
 
if the Company fails to maintain a specified minimum leverage ratio, then the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations; and
 
 
if a specified event or condition occurs that materially changes the Company’s creditworthiness in an adverse manner, it may be required to fully collateralize its obligations under the derivative instrument.
 
The Company is in compliance with the above provisions as of March 31, 2013.
 
The Company has established a derivatives policy which sets forth the parameters for such transactions (including underwriting guidelines, rate setting process, maximum maturity, approval and documentation requirements), as well as identifies internal controls for the management of risks related to these hedging activities (such as approval of counterparties, limits on counterparty credit risk, maximum loan amounts, and limits to single dealer counterparties).
 
The interest rate swap derivatives executed with our customers and our counterparty, PNC Bank, are marked to market and are included with prepaid expenses and other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated statements of condition at fair value.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives
 
Certain derivative instruments, primarily forward sales of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are utilized by the Company in its efforts to manage risk of loss associated with its mortgage loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale. Prior to closing and funding certain single-family residential mortgage loans, an interest-rate lock commitment is generally extended to the borrower. During the period from commitment date to closing date, the Company is subject to the risk that market rates of interest may change. If market rates rise, investors generally will pay less to purchase such loans resulting in a reduction in the gain on sale of the loans or, possibly, a loss. In an effort to mitigate such risk, forward delivery sales commitments, under which the Company agrees to deliver whole mortgage loans to various investors or issue MBS, are established. At March 31, 2013, the notional amount of outstanding rate locks totaled approximately $36.3 million and the notional amount of outstanding commitments to sell residential mortgage loans totaled approximately $34.2 million.  Forward sales, which include mandatory forward commitments, notional amount totaled approximately $31.0 million at March 31, 2013, establish the price to be received upon the sale of the related mortgage loan, thereby mitigating certain interest rate risk. There is, however, still certain execution risk specifically related to the Company’s ability to close and deliver to its investors the mortgage loans it has committed to sell.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
 
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 and unused lines of credit.  Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statement of condition.  The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
 
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.  Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows:

Unused commercial lines of credit
    128,872       135,379  
    $ 381,746     $ 369,773  
 
Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk had a valuation allowance of $391,000 and $394,000 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
 
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.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.  Collateral held is primarily residential property and commercial assets.
 
At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no off-balance sheet special purpose entities and participated in no securitizations of assets.

Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time based on the characteristics of the financial instruments and relevant market information.  In accordance with FASB ASC 820-10, the fair value estimates are measured within the fair value hierarchy.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820-10 are described as follows:
 
Basis of Fair Value Measurement
 
 
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
 
 
Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
 
 
Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
 
When available, quoted market prices are used.  In other cases, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.  These techniques involve uncertainties and are significantly affected by the assumptions used and judgments made regarding risk characteristics of various financial instruments, discount rates, and estimates of future cash flows, future expected loss experience and other factors.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.  Derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in certain cases, could not be realized in an immediate sale of the instrument.
 
Fair value estimates are based on existing financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not purport to represent the underlying market value of the Company. There are no transfers between levels during the three months ended March 31, 2013 or during the year ended December 31, 2012.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value:
 
Securities Available for Sale: Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models. Level 1 securities are those traded on active markets for identical securities including U.S. treasury obligations and, marketable equity securities. Level 2 securities include U.S. government agency obligations, government-sponsored residential mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities, preferred equity securities and mutual funds. When a market is illiquid or there is a lack of transparency around the inputs to valuation, the respective securities are classified as level 3 and reliance is placed upon internally developed models and management judgment and evaluation for valuation. Level 3 securities include trust preferred debt securities.  Therefore, management obtained a price by using a discounted cash flows analysis and a market bid indication.
 
The Company utilizes a third party, nationally-recognized pricing service (“pricing service”); subject to review by management, to estimate fair value measurements for almost 100% of its investment securities portfolio.  The pricing service evaluates each asset class based on relevant market information considering observable data that may include dealer quotes, reported trades, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, the LIBOR swap yield curve, trade execution data, market prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.  The fair value prices on all investment securities are reviewed for reasonableness by management.  Also, management assessed the valuation techniques used by the pricing service based on a review of their pricing methodology to ensure proper hierarchy classifications.
 
Interest Rate Swap Derivative Receivable and Liability: The Company’s derivative positions are valued using proprietary models that use as their basis readily observable market parameters and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.  Such derivatives are basic interest rate swaps that do not have any embedded interest rate caps and floors.
  
Forward loan sale commitments and derivative loan commitments: Forward loan sale commitments and derivative loan commitments are based on fair values of the underlying mortgage loans and the probability of such commitments being exercised. Significant management judgment and estimation is required in determining these fair value measurements. Derivatives that are valued based upon models with significant unobservable market parameters and that are normally traded less actively or have trade activity that is one way are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
 
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period as well as assets that are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value:
 
Mortgage Servicing Rights: A mortgage servicing right asset represents the amount by which the present value of the estimated future net cash flows to be received from servicing loans are expected to more than adequately compensate the Company for performing the servicing.  The fair value of servicing rights is estimated using a present value cash flow model.  The most important assumptions used in the valuation model are the anticipated rate of the loan prepayments and discount rates.  Adjustments are only recorded when the discounted cash flows derived from the valuation model are less than the carrying value of the asset.  As such, measurement at fair value is on a nonrecurring basis.  Although some assumptions in determining fair value are based on standards used by market participants, some are based on unobservable inputs and therefore are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
 
Loans Held for Sale: Loans held for sale are accounted for at the lower of cost or market. The fair value of loans held for sale are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted as required for changes in loan characteristics.

Impaired Loans:  Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Periodically, the Company records nonrecurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those loans.  Nonrecurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 310-10 when establishing the allowance for credit losses.  Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan.  Collateral is typically valued using appraisals or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or other assumptions.  Estimates of fair value based on collateral are generally based on assumptions not observable in the marketplace and therefore such valuations have been classified as Level 3. Any impaired loan for which no specific valuation allowance was necessary at March 31, 2013 is the result of either sufficient cash flow or sufficient collateral coverage, or previous charge off amount that reduced the book value of the loan to an amount equal to or below the fair value of the collateral. Impaired loans are measured based on either collateral values supported by appraisals, observed market prices or where potential losses have been identified and reserved accordingly. Updated appraisals are obtained at least annually for impaired loans $250,000 or greater. Management performs a quarterly review of the valuation of impaired loans and considers the current market and collateral conditions for collateral dependent loans when estimating their fair value for purposes of determining whether an allowance for loan losses is necessary for impaired loans.  When assessing the collateral coverage for an impaired loan, management discounts appraisals based upon the age of the appraisal, anticipated selling charges and any other costs needed to prepare the collateral for sale to determine its net realizable value.
 
Other Real Estate Owned: The Company classifies property acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of deed-in-lieu of foreclosure as other real estate owned in its financial statements.  Upon foreclosure, the property securing the loan is written down to fair value less selling costs.  The writedown is based upon the difference between the appraised value and the book value.  Appraisals are based on observable market data such as comparable sales within the real estate market, however assumptions made in determining comparability are unobservable and therefore these assets are classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy.

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments:
 
Cash and cash equivalents:  The carrying amounts reported in the statement of condition for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values.
 
Investment securities:  Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”) stock:  FHLBB stock does not have a readily determinable fair value and is assumed to have a fair value equal to its carrying value. Ownership of FHLBB stock is restricted to the FHLBB, and can only be purchased and redeemed at par value.
 
Loans:  In general, discount rates used to calculate values for loan products were based on the Company’s pricing at the respective period end and included appropriate adjustments for expected credit losses.  A higher discount rate was assumed with respect to estimated cash flows associated with nonaccrual loans.  Projected loan cash flows were adjusted for estimated credit losses.  However, such estimates made by the Company may not be indicative of assumptions and adjustments that a purchaser of the Company’s loans would seek.
 
Accrued interest:  The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value.
 
Deposits:  The fair values disclosed for demand deposits and savings accounts (e.g., interest and noninterest checking and passbook savings) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts).  The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed-term certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date.  Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregate expected monthly maturities of time deposits.
 
Borrowed funds:  The fair value for borrowed funds are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of agreements.
 
Repurchase liability:  Repurchase liabilities represent a short-term customer sweep account product.  Because of the short-term nature of these liabilities, the carrying amount approximates its fair value.
 
Interest Rate Swap Derivative: The fair values of interest rate swap agreements are calculated using a discounted cash flow approach and utilize observable inputs such as the LIBOR swap curve, effective date, maturity date, notional amount, and stated interest rate. 
 
Derivative Loan Commitments: The fair values of derivative loan commitments are calculated based on the value of the underlying loan, which in turn is based on quoted prices for similar loans in the secondary market. However, this value is adjusted by a factor which considers the likelihood that the loan in a lock position will ultimately close.  This factor, the closing ratio, is derived from the Company’s internal data and is adjusted using significant management judgment
 
Forward Loan Sale Commitments: Forward loan sale commitments are primarily based on quoted prices from the secondary market based on the settlement date of the contracts, interpolated or extrapolated, if necessary, to estimate a fair value as of the end of the reporting period.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
 
This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements.” You can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “project,” “could,” “intend,” “target” and other similar words and expressions of the future. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
 
statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;
 
statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;
 
statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and
 
estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.
 
These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change.
 
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:
 
Local, regional and national business or economic conditions may differ from those expected.
 
The effects of and changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s interest rate policies, may adversely affect our business.
 
The ability to increase market share and control expenses may be more difficult than anticipated.
 
Changes in laws and regulatory requirements (including those concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance) may adversely affect us or our business.
 
Changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by regulatory agencies, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board or the Financial Accounting Standards Board, may affect expected financial reporting.
 
Future changes in interest rates may reduce our profits which could have a negative impact on the value of our stock.
 
We are subject to lending risk and could incur losses in our loan portfolio despite our underwriting practices. Changes in real estate values could also increase our lending risk.
 
Changes in demand for loan products, financial products and deposit flow could impact our financial performance.
 
Strong competition within our market area may limit our growth and profitability.
 
If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings could decrease.
 
Our stock value may be negatively affected by federal regulations and articles of incorporation provisions restricting takeovers.
 
 
38

 
 
Implementation of stock benefit plans will increase our costs, which will reduce our income.
 
The Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law on July 21, 2010 and has resulted in dramatic regulatory changes that affects the industry in general, and may impact our competitive position in ways that cannot be predicted at this time.
 
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (“EESA”) of 2008 has and may continue to have a significant impact on the banking industry.
 
The increased cost of maintaining or the Company’s ability to maintain adequate liquidity and capital, based on the requirements adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and U.S. regulators.
 
Changes to the amount and timing of proposed common stock repurchases.
 
Computer systems on which we depend could fail or experience a security breach, implementation of new technologies may not be successful; and our ability to anticipate and respond to technological changes can affect our ability to meet customer needs.
 
We may not manage the risks involved in the foregoing as well as anticipated.
 
Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us in this Form 10-Q speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statement was made. The reader should, however, consider any further disclosures of a forward-looking nature we may make in future filings. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The accounting policies followed by us conform with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our most critical accounting policies, which involve the most complex subjective decisions or assessments, relate to allowance for loan losses, other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, income taxes, pension and other post-retirement benefits, employee stock ownership plan and earnings per share. The following is a description of our critical accounting policies and an explanation of the methods and assumptions underlying their application.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the statement of condition date. The allowance for loan losses consists of a formula allowance following FASB ASC 450 – Contingencies and FASB ASC 310 – Receivables.  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 regular basis by management. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance consists of general, allocated and unallocated components, as further described below.  All reserves are available to cover any losses regardless of how they are allocated.
 
General component: The general component of the allowance for loan losses is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors stratified by the following loan segments: residential real estate, commercial real estate, construction, installment, commercial, collateral, home equity line of credit, demand, revolving credit and resort.  Construction loans include classes for commercial investment real estate construction, commercial owner occupied construction, residential development and residential subdivision construction loans. Management uses a rolling average of historical losses based on a time frame appropriate to capture relevant loss data for each loan segment. This historical loss factor is adjusted for the following qualitative factors: levels/trends in delinquencies; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards and other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices; experience/ability/depth of lending management and staff; and national and local economic trends and conditions. There were no material changes in the Company’s policies or methodology pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
 
 
40

 
 
The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:
 
Residential real estate – Residential real estate loans are generally originated in amounts up to 95.0% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of the property, with private mortgage insurance required on loans with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80.0%. The Company does not grant or purchase subprime loans. All loans in this segment are collateralized by owner-occupied residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. Typically, all fixed-rate residential mortgage loans are underwritten pursuant to secondary market underwriting guidelines which include minimum FICO standards. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, may have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.
 
Commercial real estate – Loans in this segment are primarily income-producing properties throughout New England. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties may be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by increased vacancy rates, which in turn, may have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Management generally obtains rent rolls and other financial information, as appropriate on an annual basis and continually monitors the cash flows of these loans.
 
Construction loans – Loans in this segment include commercial construction loans, real estate subdivision development loans, to developers, licensed contractors and builders for the construction and development of commercial real estate projects and residential properties. Construction lending contains a unique risk characteristic as loans are originated under market and economic conditions that may change between the time of origination and the completion and subsequent purchaser financing of the property. In addition, construction subdivision loans and commercial and residential construction loans to contractors and developers entail additional risks as compared to single-family residential mortgage lending to owner-occupants. These loans typically involve large loan balances concentrated in single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Real estate subdivision development loans to developers, licensed contractors and builders for the construction are generally speculative real estate development loans for which payment is derived from sale of the property. Credit risk may be affected by cost overruns, time to sell at an adequate price, and market conditions. Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than longer-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Residential construction credit quality may be impacted by the overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices.
 
Installment, Collateral, Demand and Revolving Credit – Loans in these segments include installment, demand, revolving credit and collateral loans, principally to customers residing in our primary market area with acceptable credit ratings. Our installment and collateral consumer loans generally consist of loans on new and used automobiles, loans collateralized by deposit accounts and unsecured personal loans. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, may have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Excluding collateral loans which are fully collateralized by a deposit account, repayment for loans in these segments are dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.
 
Commercial – 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, may have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.
 
Home equity line of credit – Loans in this segment include home equity loans and lines of credit underwritten with a loan-to-value ratio generally limited to no more than 80%, including any first mortgage. Our home equity lines of credit have ten-year terms and adjustable rates of interest which are indexed to the prime rate. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, may have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.
 
 
41

 
 
Resort – Loans in this segment include loans to timeshare developer / operators and participations in timeshare loans originated by experienced timeshare lending institutions, which originate and sell timeshare participations to other lending institutions. Lending to this industry is generally done on a nationwide basis, as the majority of timeshare operators are located outside of the Northeast. Receivable loans, which account for 90% of the resort portfolio at March 31, 2013, are typically underwritten utilizing a lending formula in which loan advances are based on a percentage of eligible consumer notes. In addition, these loans generally contain provisions for recourse to the developer, the obligation of the developer to replace defaulted consumer notes, and parameters with respect to minimum FICO scores or average weighted FICO scores of the portfolio of pledged notes. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, may have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.  The Company is gradually exiting the resort financing market.
 
Allocated component: The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial real estate, construction, commercial and resort loans by the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate; the fair value of the collateral, if applicable; or the observable market price for the loan. An allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential real estate loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are subject to a troubled debt restructuring agreement or they are nonaccrual loans with outstanding balances of $100,000 or more.
 
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. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Management updates the analysis quarterly. The assumptions used in appraisals are reviewed for appropriateness. Updated appraisals or valuations are obtained as needed or adjusted to reflect the estimated decline in the fair value based upon current market conditions for comparable properties.
 
The Company periodically may 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 classified as impaired.
 
Unallocated component: An unallocated component is maintained, when needed, to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating allocated and general reserves in the portfolio. The Company’s Loan Policy allows management to utilize a high and low range of 0.0% to 5.0% of our total allowance for loan losses when establishing an unallocated allowance, when considered necessary. The unallocated allowance is used to provide for an unidentified loss that may exist in emerging problem loans that cannot be fully quantified or may be affected by conditions not fully understood as of the balance sheet date.
 
During 2013, we have started to see a slight improvement in the real estate markets and the overall economic conditions which have led to an improvement in collateral values and cash flows of borrowers.  The stabilization of these economic conditions have led to a decrease in charge-offs, delinquencies and non-performing loans and improved valuations for the Company’s impaired loans as of March 31, 2013.  The economy is still very fragile and uncertain.  If the current trend reverses itself in 2013, it could impact significant estimates such as the allowance for loan losses and the effect could be material.

Other-than-Temporary Impairment of Securities: In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 320-Debt and Equity Securities, a decline in market value of a debt security below amortized cost that is deemed other-than-temporary is charged to earnings for the credit related other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security, while the non-credit related OTTI is recognized in other comprehensive income if there is no intent or requirement to sell the security. Management reviews the securities portfolio on a quarterly basis for the presence of OTTI. An assessment is made as to whether the decline in value results from company-specific events, industry developments, general economic conditions, credit losses on debt or other reasons. After the reasons for the decline are identified, further judgments are required as to whether those conditions are likely to reverse and, if so, whether that reversal is likely to result in a recovery of the fair value of the investment in the near term. If it is judged not to be near-term, a charge is taken which results in a new cost basis. Credit related OTTI for debt securities is recognized in earnings while non-credit related OTTI is recognized in other comprehensive income if there is no intent to sell or will not be required to sell the security. If an equity security is deemed other-than-temporarily impaired, the full impairment is considered to be credit-related and a charge to earnings would be recorded.   Management believes the policy for evaluating securities for other-than-temporary impairment is critical because it involves significant judgments by management and could have a material impact on our net income.
 
Gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized at the time of sale on a specific identification basis. Marketable equity and debt securities are classified as either trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity (applies only to debt securities). Management determines the appropriate classifications of securities at the time of purchase. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had no debt or equity securities classified as trading. Held-to-maturity securities are debt securities for which we have the ability and intent to hold until maturity. All other securities not included in held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of equity, until realized.
 
Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted into interest income over the term of the securities using the level yield method.
 
Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes are provided for differences arising in the timing of income and expenses for financial reporting and for income tax purposes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits 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 basis. 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. We provide a deferred tax asset valuation allowance for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards when realization is determined not to be more likely than not. We adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, on January 1, 2007. FASB ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. Pursuant to FASB ASC 740-10, we examine our financial statements, our income tax provision and our federal and state income tax returns and analyze our tax positions, including permanent and temporary differences, as well as the major components of income and expense, to determine whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. We recognize interest and penalties arising from income tax settlements as part of our provision for income taxes.
 
Pension and Other Post-retirement Benefits: On December 27, 2012, the Company announced the freezing of the non-contributory defined-benefit pension plan and certain other postretirement benefit plans as of February 28, 2013.  All benefits under these plans will be frozen as of that date and no additional benefits shall accrue.
 
 
43

 
 
We have a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that provides benefits for substantially all employees hired before January 1, 2007 who meet certain requirements as to age and length of service. The benefits are based on years of service and average compensation, as defined in the plan. Our funding policy is to contribute annually the maximum amount that could be deducted for federal income tax purposes, while meeting the minimum funding standards established by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
 
In addition to providing pension benefits, we provide certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Participants or eligible employees hired before January 1, 1993 become eligible for the benefits if they retire after reaching age 62 with fifteen or more years of service. A fixed percent of annual costs are paid depending on length of service at retirement. We accrue for the estimated costs of these other post-retirement benefits through charges to expense during the years that employees render service. We make contributions to cover the current benefits paid under this plan. Management believes the policy for determining pension and other post-retirement benefit expenses is critical because judgments are required with respect to the appropriate discount rate, rate of return on assets, salary increases and other items. Management reviews and updates these assumptions annually. If our estimate of pension and post-retirement expense is too low we may experience higher expenses in the future, reducing our net income. If our estimate is too high, we may experience lower expenses in the future, increasing our net income.
 
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”): The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with FASB ASC 718-40, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under this guidance, unearned ESOP shares are not considered outstanding and are shown as a reduction of stockholders' equity as unearned compensation. The Company will recognize compensation cost equal to the fair value of the ESOP shares during the periods in which they are committed to be released. To the extent that the fair value of the Company's ESOP shares differs from the cost of such shares, this difference will be credited or debited to equity. The Company will receive a tax deduction equal to the cost of the shares released to the extent of the principal pay down on the loan by the ESOP. As the loan is internally leveraged, the loan receivable from the ESOP to the Company is not reported as an asset nor is the debt of the ESOP shown as a liability in the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
Stock Incentive Plan: During August 2012, the Company implemented the First Connecticut Bancorp, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan to provide for issuance or granting of shares of common stock for stock options or restricted stock. The Company applies ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, and has recorded stock-based employee compensation cost using the fair value method. Management estimated the fair values of all option grants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Management estimated the expected life of the options using the simplified method allowed under SAB No. 107. The risk-free rate was determined utilizing the treasury yield for the expected life of the option contract.
 
Earnings Per Share: Basic net earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is computed in a manner similar to basic net earnings (loss) per common share except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the incremental common shares (as computed using the treasury stock method) that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were issued during the period.  Unvested restricted stock are participating securities and are considered outstanding and included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating both basic and diluted earnings per common share since the shares participate in dividends and the right to dividends are non-forfeitable.  Losses are not allocated to participating securities since there is not a contractual obligation to participate in the net loss.  Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are not included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012
 
Our total assets decreased $23.6 million or 1% at March 31, 2013 to $1.8 billion compared to December 31, 2012 reflecting decreases in cash and cash equivalents and securities available for sale offset by an increase in loans.  Deposits increased $45.6 million and FHLB advances decreased $52.0 million.
 
Our investment portfolio totaled $111.8 million or 6.2% of total assets, and $141.2 million or 7.7% of total assets at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Available-for-sale investment securities totaled $108.8 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $138.2 million at December 31, 2012.  Securities held-to-maturity totaled $3.0 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The Company purchases short term U.S. Treasury and agency securities in order to meet municipal and repurchase agreement pledge requirements and to minimize interest rate risk during the sustained low interest rate environment.
 
The net unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale, on a pre-tax basis, increased by $351,000 to $1.1 million at March 31, 2013.  As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio gross unrealized losses equaled $128,000 and $345,000, respectively, of which $105,000 and $336,000, respectively, were from securities that had been in a loss position of twelve months or more. Management does not believe that the unrealized loss represents an other-than-temporary impairment.
 
Net loans increased $24.5 million at March 31, 2013 to $1.5 billion compared to December 31, 2012 due to our continued focus on commercial and residential lending which, combined, increased $41.7 million, offset by a $16.0 million decrease in resort loans as we gradually exit the resort financing market.  At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, the loan portfolio consisted of $619.7 million and $621.0 million in residential real estate loans, $504.7 million and $473.8 million in commercial real estate loans, $66.5 million and $64.4 million in construction loans, $200.6 million and $192.2 million in commercial loans, $144.0 million and $142.5 million in home equity lines of credit loans, $15.3 million and $31.2 million in resort loans and $8.0 million and $8.9 million in installment, collateral, demand and revolving credit loans.
 
The allowance for loan losses remained relatively flat increasing $103,000 to $17.3 million at March 31, 2013 from $17.2 million at December 31, 2012.  Impaired loans increased $2.3 million to $39.2 million at March 31, 2013 from $36.9 million at December 31, 2012.  Non-accrual loans increased slightly to $13.9 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $13.8 million at December 31, 2012.  At March 31, 2013, the allowance for loan losses represented 1.11% of total loans and 124.59% of non-performing loans, compared to 1.12% of total loans and 125.01% of non-performing loans as of December 31, 2012. Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $296,000 million or 0.08% (annualized), compared to net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $136,000 or 0.04% (annualized) of average loans outstanding.  Loan delinquencies 30 days and greater decreased $1.9 million to $15.2 million at March 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012 driven largely by decreases in delinquencies in the residential portfolio.
 
Deposits increased $45.6 million or 3.4% at March 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012, primarily due to continued growth in checking accounts and de novo branches.  Checking accounts grew by 4% or 1,543 net new accounts in the first quarter of 2013.

The decrease in net income resulted from a decrease in net interest income driven largely by a decrease in resort income as we as we gradually exit the resort financing market, this reduction was offset by an increase in interest income in commercial and residential loans, an increase in noninterest expense related to our 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) implemented in August 2012 and an increases in salaries and employee benefits as we continue to add staff to expand the services we offer our existing and new customers offset by an increase in noninterest income driven by our secondary market income.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012
 
Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income from earning assets, such as loans and investments, and the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. We also generate noninterest income, including service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage servicing income, bank-owned life insurance income, safe deposit box rental fees, brokerage fees, insurance commissions and other miscellaneous fees. Our noninterest expense primarily consists of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment costs and other noninterest expenses. Our results of operations are also affected by our provision for loan losses.

Interest and Dividend Income: For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, interest and dividend income decreased $380,000 or 2.5%, to $15.0 million from $15.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to a $750,000 decrease in resort income as we gradually exit the resort financing market offset by a $358,000 increase in mortgage fee income based on loan growth.  The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 41 basis points to 3.66% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from 4.07% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  The decline was due to a 63 basis points decrease in the yield on total average net loans to 3.94% offset by a $207.0 million or 15.7% increase in total average net loans and a 36 basis points decrease in securities to 0.81% as a result of maturing securities being replaced by lower yielding securities compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

 Net Interest Income Analysis: Average Balance Sheets, Interest and Yields/Costs
 
The following tables present the average balance sheets, average yields and costs and certain other information for the periods indicated therein. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero percent yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of net deferred costs and premiums that are amortized to interest income or expense.  Yields and rates have been annualized.

Net Interest Income:  Net interest income is determined by the interest rate spread (i.e., the difference between the yields earned on interest-earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities) and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses was $12.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to $13.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  The $302,000 or 2.3% decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a $750,000 decrease in resort income as we gradually exit the resort financing market offset by a $358,000 increase in mortgage fee income based on loan growth.   The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 41 basis points to 3.66% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from 4.07% for the quarter ended March 3, 2012 due to a 63 basis points decrease in the yield on total average net loans to 3.94% offset by a $207.0 million or 15.7% increase in total average net loans and a 36 basis points decrease in securities to 0.81% as a result of maturing securities being replaced by lower yielding securities compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The yield on average interest-earning liabilities decreased 9 basis points to 0.77% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 reflecting lower funding costs.  Our net interest rate spread decreased 32 basis points to 2.89% during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from 3.21% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  Net interest margin decreased 34 basis points to 3.07% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to 3.41% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Interest Expense: Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 decreased $78,000 or 3.2% to $2.4 million from $2.5 million for the same period in the prior year.  The decrease in interest expense resulted from a 8 basis points decline in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits to 0.62% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from 0.70% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  The decrease in the cost of funds was primarily due to the sustained low interest rate environment and the average balance of time deposits decreasing $25.6 million compared to the prior quarter.  The decline in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was largely attributable to our implementation of a more disciplined pricing strategy for time deposits where we reduced short-term rates, maintained longer-term rates at a competitive rate and reduced our rate concession practices for customers who did not utilize multiple bank services.
 
Provision for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management determines to be appropriate to absorb estimated credit losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the dates of the financial statements. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and charges any provision for loan losses needed to current operations. The assessment considers historical loss experience, historical and current delinquency statistics, the loan portfolio segment and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, the financial strength of the borrowers, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions and other credit quality indicators.

Management recorded a provision for loan losses of $399,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to $330,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  The increase in the provision was primarily due to growth in our residential and commercial loan portfolios.   The provision recorded is based upon management’s analysis of the allowance for loan losses necessary to absorb the estimated credit losses in the loan portfolio for the period.

At March 31, 2013, the allowance for loan losses totaled $17.3 million, or 1.11% of total loans and 124.6% of non-accrual loans, compared to an allowance for loan losses of $17.2 million which represented 1.12% of total loans and 125.0% of non-accrual loans at December 31, 2012. 

Noninterest Income: Sources of noninterest income primarily include banking service charges on deposit accounts, brokerage and insurance fees, bank-owned life insurance and mortgage servicing income. Other-than-temporary impairment of securities, if any, are also included in noninterest income (loss).

The following table summarizes noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

Non-interest expense increased $2.1 million or 16.4%, to $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $12.6 million in the same period in the prior year. Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.6 million, primarily due to $1.2 million in stock compensation expense related to our 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) implemented in August 2012, off which $633,000 in expense related to the accelerated vesting of stock compensation due to the passing of a key executive.  Other operating expenses increased $491,000 or 24.2% to $2.5 million compared to $2.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  The increase was primarily due to director’s stock compensation expense totaling $225,000 related to the Plan and a $93,000 increase in professional services.

Income Tax Expense: Income taxes decreased $38,000 to $279,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $317,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
 
We maintain liquid assets at levels we consider adequate to meet our liquidity needs. We adjust our liquidity levels to fund loan commitments, repay our borrowings, fund deposit outflows, fund operations and pay escrow obligations on items in our loan portfolio. We also adjust liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives.
 
Our primary sources of liquidity are deposits, principal repayment and prepayment of loans, the sale in the secondary market of loans held for sale, maturities and sales of investment securities and other short-term investments, periodic pay downs of mortgage-backed securities, and earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions and rates offered by our competitors. We set the interest rates on our deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.
 
A portion of our liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents, which are a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. At March 31, 2013, $34.9 million of our assets were invested in cash and cash equivalents compared to $50.6 million at December 31, 2012. Our primary sources of cash are principal repayments on loans, proceeds from the maturities of investment securities, increases in deposit accounts, proceeds from residential loan sales and advances from FHLBB.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, loan originations and purchases, net of collected principal and loan sales, totaled $25.1 million and $30.8 million, respectively.  Cash received from the sales and maturities of investment securities totaled $80.9 million and $93.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  We purchased $51.0 million and $74.0 million of available-for-sale investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Liquidity management is both a daily and longer-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the FHLBB, which provides an additional source of funds. At March 31, 2013, we had $76.0 million in advances from the FHLBB and an additional available borrowing limit of $357.5 million, compared to $128.0 million in advances and an additional available borrowing limit of $294.3 million at December 31, 2012, subject to collateral requirements of the FHLBB. Internal policies limit borrowings to 25.0% of total assets, or $449.8 million and $455.7 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Other sources of funds include access to a pre-approved unsecured line of credit with PNC Bank for $20.0 million, our $8.8 million secured line of credit with the FHLBB and our $3.5 million unsecured line of credit with a bank which were all undrawn at March 31, 2013.  The Federal Reserve Bank’s discount window loan collateral program enables us to borrow up to $87.1 million on an overnight basis as of March 31, 2013. The funding arrangement was collateralized by $134.4 million in pledged commercial real estate loans as of March 31, 2013.

We had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $37.2 million and $14.8 million and unfunded commitments under construction loans, lines of credit and stand-by letters of credit of $344.5 million and $355.0 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, time deposits scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $236.7 million and $239.8 million, respectively. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In the event a significant portion of our deposits are not retained by us, we will have to utilize other funding sources, such as FHLBB advances, brokered deposits, our $20.0 million unsecured line of credit with PNC Bank, our $8.8 million secured line of credit with the FHLBB, our $3.5 million unsecured line of credit with a bank or our $87.1 million overnight borrowing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank in order to maintain our level of assets. Alternatively, we would reduce our level of liquid assets, such as our cash and cash equivalents in order to meet funding needs. In addition, the cost of such deposits may be significantly higher if market interest rates are higher or if there is an increased amount of competition for deposits in our market area at the time of renewal.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
General: The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of loans and available-for-sale investment securities, generally have longer contractual maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, our board of directors has established an asset/liability committee which is responsible for (i) evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, (ii) determining the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives and (iii) managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by our board of directors. Management monitors the level of interest rate risk on a regular basis and the asset/liability committee meets at least quarterly to review our asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position.
 
We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. During the low interest rate environment that has existed in recent years, we have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk: (i) emphasizing adjustable rate loans, including adjustable rate one-to-four family, commercial and consumer loans, (ii) reducing and shortening the expected average life of the investment portfolio and (iii) periodically lengthening the term structure of our borrowings from the FHLBB. Additionally, we sell a portion of our fixed-rate residential mortgages to the secondary market. These measures should serve to reduce the volatility of our future net interest income in different interest rate environments.

Quantitative Analysis: An economic value of equity and an income simulation analysis are used to estimate our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. We are most reliant on the income simulation method as it is a dynamic method in that it incorporates our forecasted balance sheet growth assumptions under the different interest rate scenarios tested. We utilize the income simulation method to analyze our interest rate sensitivity position and to manage the risk associated with interest rate movements. At least quarterly, our asset/liability committee reviews the potential effect that changes in interest rates could have on the repayment or repricing of rate sensitive assets and the funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities. Our most recent simulation uses projected repricing of assets and liabilities on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated repayments and scheduled rate adjustments. Prepayment rate assumptions can have a significant impact on interest income simulation results. Because of the large percentage of loans and mortgage-backed securities we hold, rising or falling interest rates may have a significant impact on the actual prepayment speeds of our mortgage related assets that may in turn effect our interest rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayment speeds slow and the average expected life of our assets would tend to lengthen more than the expected average life of our liabilities and would therefore alter our existing interest rate risk position.

Our asset/liability policy currently limits projected changes in net interest income to a maximum variance of (4.0%, 8.0%, 10.0%, 12.0% and 18.0%) assuming a 100, 200, 300, 400 or 500 basis point interest rate shock, respectively, as measured over a 12 month period when compared to the flat rate scenario.
 
At March 31, 2013, income at risk (i.e., the change in net interest income) increased 9.3% and 8.6% and decreased 4.1% based on a 300 basis point increase, a 400 basis point increase and a 100 basis point decrease, respectively. At December 31, 2012, income at risk (i.e., the change in net interest income) increased 7.3% and 6.2% and decreased 4.9% based on a 300 basis point increase, a 400 basis point increase and a 100 basis point decrease, respectively, respectively.  The following table depicts the percentage increase and/or decrease in estimated net interest income over twelve months based on the scenarios run during each of the years presented:
