Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
Advances payable to the FHLBB amounted to $524.0 million at June 30, 2012 and $540.5 million at December 31, 2011.

In connection with the Corporation's ongoing interest rate risk management efforts, in January 2012, the Corporation modified the terms of $31.1 million of its FHLBB advances with original maturity dates in 2014 into longer terms maturing in 2016 and 2017. Also, in May 2012, the Corporation conducted another balance sheet management transaction, which consisted of the sale of $6.0 million in mortgage-backed securities and the prepayment of a $5.0 million FHLBB advance with an original maturity date in 2013. The transaction resulted in net realized gains on sales of securities of $217 thousand and debt prepayment penalty expense of $203 thousand. In June 2012, the Corporation prepaid two FHLBB advances totaling $10.0 million with original maturity dates in 2015, resulting in debt prepayment penalty expense of $758 thousand. Also in June 2012, the Corporation modified terms of $36.7 million of its FHLBB advances with original maturity dates in 2014 and 2015 into longer terms maturing in 2017. The following table presents maturities of and weighted average interest rates paid on FHLBB advances outstanding at June 30, 2012.

In addition to the outstanding advances, the Bank also has access to an unused line of credit with the FHLBB amounting to $8.0 million at June 30, 2012.  Under agreement with the FHLBB, the Bank is required to maintain qualified collateral, free and clear of liens, pledges, or encumbrances that, based on certain percentages of book and fair values, has a value equal to the aggregate amount of the line of credit and outstanding advances.  The FHLBB maintains a security interest in various assets of the Corporation including, but not limited to, residential mortgage loans, commercial mortgages and other commercial loans, U.S. government agency securities, U.S. government-sponsored enterprise securities, and amounts maintained on deposit at the FHLBB.  Included in the collateral specifically pledged to secure FHLBB borrowings were securities available for sale and held to maturity with a fair value of $305.9 million and $320.8 million, respectively, at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  Also included in the collateral specifically pledged to secure FHLBB borrowings were loans of $907.2 million and $911.5 million, respectively, at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  The Corporation maintained qualified collateral substantially in excess of the amount required to collateralize the line of credit and outstanding advances at June 30, 2012 for liquidity management purposes.  Unless there is an event of default under the agreement, the Corporation may use, encumber or dispose any portion of the collateral in excess of the amount required to secure FHLBB borrowings, except for that collateral which has been specifically pledged.
