CHICOPEE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
At and for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
1. Basis of Presentation
Chicopee Bancorp, Inc. (the Corporation) has no significant assets other than all of the outstanding shares of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Chicopee Savings Bank (the Bank) and Chicopee Funding Corporation (collectively, the Company). The Corporation was formed on March 14, 2006 by the Bank to become the holding company for the Bank upon completion of the Banks conversion from a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank. The conversion of the Bank was completed on July 19, 2006. The accounts of the Bank include both of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2010 and for the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows, as of and for the periods covered herein, have been made. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The results for the three month interim period ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.
2. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the adjusted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The adjusted outstanding common shares equals the gross number of common shares issued less average treasury shares, unallocated shares of the Chicopee Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), and average dilutive restricted stock awards under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and certain stock awards and are determined using the treasury stock method.
Earnings (loss) per share is computed as follows:

CHICOPEE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)
At and for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
There were 688,167 and 671,667 stock options that were not included in the diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, because their effect was anti-dilutive.
3. Equity Incentive Plan
Stock Options
Under the Companys 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan), the Company may grant options to directors, officers and employees for up to 743,936 shares of common stock. Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be granted under the Plan. The exercise price for each option is equal to the market price of the Companys stock on the date of grant and the maximum term of each option is ten years. The stock options vest over five years in five equal installments on each anniversary of the date of grant.
The Company recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period, based on the grant-date fair value of the options granted. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for options granted during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:
Years Ended | ||||||
December 31, | ||||||
2009 | 2008 | |||||
Expected dividend yield |
2.00 | % | 2.00 | % | ||
Expected term |
6.5 years | 6.5 years | ||||
Expected volatility |
25.89 | % | 24.52 | % | ||
Risk-free interest rate |
2.95 | % | 1.99 | % |
No options were granted during 2010. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Companys stock and other factors. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The Company uses historical data, such as option exercise and employee termination rates, to calculate the expected option life.
A summary of options under the Plan as of March 31, 2010, and changes during the three months then ended, is as follows:
Number of Shares |
Weighted Average Exercise Price |
Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) |
Aggregate Intrinsic Value (000s) | |||||||
Outstanding at December 31, 2009 |
688,167 | $ | 14.22 | 7.50 | ||||||

267,665 | $ | 14.28 | 7.18 | $ | 3,822 | ||||
Exercisable at March 31, 2009 |
133,331 | $ | 14.29 | 8.18 | $ | 1,905 | ||||
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during 2009 and 2008 was $3.07 and $2.37, respectively. The weighted average grant-date fair value of the options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2010 is $3.89 and $3.91, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, share based compensation expense applicable to the Plan was $132,000 and $129,000 and the related tax benefit was $26,000 for both periods, respectively. No options have been exercised as of March 31, 2010 and no options were granted prior to July 1, 2007. As of March 31, 2010, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested options amounted to $1.3 million. This amount is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.42 years.

CHICOPEE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)
At and for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
Stock Awards
Under the Companys 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may grant stock awards to its directors, officers and employees for up to 297,574 shares of common stock. The stock awards vest 20% per year beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The fair market value of the stock awards, based on the market price at the date of grant, is recorded as unearned compensation. Unearned compensation is amortized over the applicable vesting period. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock awards as of March 31, 2010 is $14.29. The Company recorded compensation cost related to stock awards of $207,000 and $70,000 of related tax benefit in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Stock awards with a fair value of $777,000 and $765,000 have vested during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. No stock awards have vested during 2010 and no stock awards were granted prior to July 1, 2007. As of March 31, 2010, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards amounted to $1.9 million. This amount is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.32 years.
A summary of the status of the Companys stock awards as of March 31, 2010, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2010, is as follows:

4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Applicable to the Company)
June 2009: Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, provides amended guidance relating to transfers of financial assets that eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity. This guidance must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. This guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after its effective date. On and after the effective date, the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is no longer relevant for accounting purposes. Therefore, formerly qualifying special-purpose entities should be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities on and after the effective date in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance. The new guidance also changed the requirements which must be satisfied in order for an entity to treat a loan participation as a sale. The disclosure provisions were also amended and apply to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this guidance. The adoption of this update did not have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
June 2009: ASU No. 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities, provides amended guidance for consolidation of a variable interest entity by replacing the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The amended guidance uses an approach that focuses on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance and (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additional disclosures about an enterprises involvement in variable interest entities are also required. This guidance is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The adoption of this update did not have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
January 2010: ASU No. 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash, a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, amends FASB

ASC 505-20 and FASB ASC 260-10 to require that the stock portion of a dividend payment that is part cash and part stock be considered a share issuance in calculating per-share earnings. The guidance is effective for any reporting period that has ended since December 15, 2009, and the FASB said it should be applied on a retrospective basis. The new disclosure has been added to the earnings per share footnote as of December 31, 2009. Other than requiring an additional disclosure, adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
January 2010: ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, amends the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance will become effective with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for any Level 3 fair value measurements, which will become effective with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, if applicable, adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on the financial statements.
February 2010: ASU No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, amends Subtopic 855-10 to remove some contradictions between the requirements of U.S. GAAP and the Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) filing rules. As a result, SEC filers will no longer have to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the 2009 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current periods presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the net income previously reported.
5. Comprehensive Income or Loss
Accounting principles generally require recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses to be included in net income or loss. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as the after-tax effect of unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, are not reflected in the statement of operations, but the cumulative effect of such items from period-to-period is reflected as a separate component of the equity section of the statement of financial condition (accumulated other comprehensive income or loss). Other comprehensive income or loss, along with net income or loss, comprises the Companys total comprehensive income or loss.

Investment Activities
While the Company prefers lending as the primary use of its excess cash flows, the Company maintains an investment portfolio for managing interest-rate risk and liquidity while generating an acceptable level of revenue. The securities portfolio is managed in accordance with regulatory guidelines and established internal corporate investment policies. Adverse changes in the factors used in managements assessment of other-than-temporary impairment could lead to additional impairment charges.

The fair value of securities available-for-sale increased $34,000, or 6.8%, to $537,000 at March 31, 2010 from December 31, 2009, primarily due to unrealized market gains. The decrease in amortized cost of securities available-for-sale of $13,000 is the result of writing down a security to fair value due to a charge for other-than-temporary impairment. Available-for-sale securities are fully comprised of equity securities: 5 individual issues of highly traded stocks, representing 3 companies in the financial industry. The amortized cost of held-to-maturity securities increased $3.4 million, or 5.3%, to $66.3 million due to the purchase of a $10.0 million bond and purchases of $3.4 million in U.S. Treasury securities, partially offset by maturities U.S. Treasury securities of $9.7 million and pay downs of collateralized mortgage obligations and bonds of $363,000.
At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, securities with a carrying value of $23.3 million and $30.4 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral to support securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

Unrealized Losses on Investment Securities
Management conducts, at least on a monthly basis, a review of its investment portfolio including available-for-sale (AFS) and held-to-maturity (HTM) securities to determine if the value of any security has declined below its cost or amortized cost and whether such decline is other-than-temporarily impaired (OTTI). Securities are evaluated individually based on guidelines established by FASB and include but are not limited to: (1) intent and ability of the Company to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for the anticipated recovery in market value; (2) percentage and length of time which an issue is below book value; (3) financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; (4) whether the debtor is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments; (5) the volatility of the market price of the security; and (6) any other information and observable data considered relevant in determining whether other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, including the expectation of receipt of all principal and interest due. The Companys OTTI policy provides for the following: once a security is identified as impaired, the Company will test for OTTI; if the security fails the OTTI test, the security will be written-down to the fair value as of the balance sheet date; an impaired security that passes the OTTI test will be reviewed by Management, to determine if a write-down is warranted, for other objective indicators such as: credit rating downgrades, reduced dividend payouts, inverse current ratios, and other adverse financial information. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, management determined that one of the equity securities in the financial industry had other-than-temporary impairment for which a charge was recorded in the amount of $13,000.

U.S. Treasury Securities.
Unrealized losses within the U.S. Treasury securities category at March 31, 2010, related to 20 U.S. Treasury securities, which all had losses for less than 12 months. At December 31, 2009, the unrealized losses related to 12 U.S. Treasury securities, which all had losses for less than 12 months. Management deemed the losses in this category to be immaterial.
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations.
Unrealized losses within the collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO) category at March 31, 2010, related to 10 securities, which all had continuous losses for less than 12 months. At December 31, 2009, the unrealized losses related to 2 CMO securities, which all had continuous losses for less than 12 months.
Management reviews these securities on a regular basis for OTTI and considers if the issuer is an agency sponsored by the U.S. Government and whether downgrades by rating agencies have occurred. The Company reviews its CMO portfolio for OTTI similar to its OTTI analysis for its other securities, whereby it considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, whether the debtors are current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, the volatility of the market price of the security, and the Companys intent and ability to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value or until maturity. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until maturity.
As of March 31, 2010, the Company has 18 CMO bonds, or 24 individual issues, with an aggregate book value of $5.4 million, which include 5 bonds, or 6 individual issues, with a FICO score of less than 650. This risk is mitigated by loan to value ratios of less than 75%. The total exposure of these 5 bonds to the Company is $23,000. Since the purchase of these bonds, interest payments have been current and the Company expects to receive all principal and interest due.

At and for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
The Companys remaining 13 CMO bonds are all investment grade and classified as HTM. All of these securities were issued by government sponsored agencies and are all collateralized primarily by AAA rated Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) mortgage loans and, to the best of the Companys knowledge, are not collateralized by sub-prime and Alt-A loans. FHLMC and FNMA guarantees the contractual cash flows of the CMOs. The loans collateralizing such CMOs consist of fixed-rate, 15-year loans, originated in early 2003 and 2004, with average FICO scores between 700 and 775, and average LTV of 57%.
These 18 CMO securities have been substantially paid down with an average current factor of 27%, and are backed by well seasoned loans of an earlier vintage, which have not been significantly affected by high delinquency levels or vulnerable to lower collateral coverage as seen in later issued pools. All such CMOs are paying according to their contractual terms and are expected to continue to pay their contractual cash flows.
Based on managements analysis, which included the above indicators, the Company has determined that no OTTI exists within the CMO portfolio as of March 31, 2010.
Marketable Equity Securities.
Unrealized losses within the marketable equity securities category at December 31, 2009 related to four securities issued by two companies in the financial industry, which had continuous losses for more than 12 months. As of March 31, 2010, three of these securities recovered their value and one security was written-down for OTTI in the amount of $13,000.
The FHLB recorded a net loss of $186.8 million for the year ending December 31, 2009. Losses due to the other-than-temporary impairment of investments in private-label mortgage-backed securities resulted in a credit loss of $444.1 million for the year. The associated non-credit loss on these securities in 2009 was $885.4 million, which is recorded in capital rather than through earnings, and contributed largely to an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.0 billion at December 31, 2009.
The FHLB remained in compliance with all regulatory capital ratios as of December 31, 2009, and, in the most recent information available, was classified adequately capitalized by its regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, as of September 30, 2009.
Notwithstanding continued significant credit losses in its investment portfolio, the FHLBs net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $6.3 million. The FHLBs net interest income continues to be strong, and totaled $311.7 million for the year ending December 31, 2009 and $88.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. The FHLB expects to see volatility in its earnings in the next several quarters as it works through continued challenges. In particular, high and prolonged unemployment rates, high delinquency and foreclosure rates, and declining housing prices may result in additional credit losses from the FHLBs private-label mortgage-backed securities investments. The FHLB will continue to monitor this situation closely in 2010.
The FHLB remains focused on returning the FHLB to stable profitability and enhancing the FHLBs capital base by building retained earnings. The FHLBs board of directors is unlikely to declare any dividends until a consistent pattern of positive net income is demonstrated, allowing growth in retained earnings, which will likely preclude a declaration of dividends for at least the first two quarters of 2010. The opportunity to pay a dividend after that, and the amount of any such dividend, will be a function of the success that the FHLB has in stabilizing earnings and building retained earnings, which will be driven in large part by the performance of its private-label mortgage-backed securities portfolio. The FHLBs current retained earnings target is estimated at $925 million, a target adopted in connection with the FHLBs Revised Operating Plan to preserve capital in light of the various challenges to the FHLB. The FHLBs retained earnings target could be superseded by mandates from its primary regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, either in the form of an order specific to the FHLB or by promulgation of new regulations requiring a level of retained earnings that is different from the FHLBs currently targeted level. Moreover, Management and the board of directors of the FHLB may, at any time, change the FHLBs methodology or assumptions for modeling the FHLBs retained earnings requirement. Either of these could result in the FHLB further increasing its retained earnings target or reducing or eliminating the dividend payout, as necessary.

The Company periodically evaluates its investment in FHLB stock for impairment based on, among other factors, the capital adequacy of the FHLB and its overall financial condition. No impairment losses have been recorded through March 31, 2010. The Company will continue to monitor its investment in FHLB stock.
7. Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), provides a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
The Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observability of the assumptions used to determine fair value:
Level 1 Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 1 also includes U.S. Treasury Notes and U.S. government and agency mortgage-backed securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Valuations for assets and liabilities with inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term or valuations obtained from third party pricing services based on quoted market prices for comparable assets or liabilities. Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities traded in inactive markets.
There were no transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 as of March 31, 2010.
Level 3 Valuations for assets and liabilities with inputs that are unobservable, which are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and are not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets and liabilities. There were no level 3 valuations as of March 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

Also, the Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets:

A valuation reserve, for the above impaired loans, of $830,000 and $501,000 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, was included in the allowance for loan losses. The amount of impaired loans represents the carrying value, net of the related allowance for loan losses on impaired loans for which adjustments are based on the appraised value of the collateral which is based on the market approach of valuation.
Real estate acquired through foreclosure (OREO): OREO is recorded at market value. The fair value of other real estate owned is based on property appraisals and an analysis of similar properties currently available. As such, the Company records other real estate owned as nonrecurring Level 2.
ASC Topic 825 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures requires disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, if the fair values can be reasonably determined. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Companys various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques using observable inputs when available. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values.
16
CHICOPEE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)
At and for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
Securities: Fair values for securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank stock, are based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Loans receivable: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for nonperforming loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
Mortgage loans held for sale: Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of carrying value or market value. The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. As such, the Company classifies mortgage loans held for sale as nonrecurring Level 2.
Mortgage servicing rights: Mortgage servicing rights represent the value associated with servicing residential mortgage loans. Servicing assets and servicing liabilities are reported using the amortization method or the fair value measurement method. In evaluating the carrying values of mortgage servicing rights, the Company obtains third party valuations based on loan level data including note rate, type and term of the underlying loans. As such, the Company classifies mortgage servicing rights as nonrecurring Level 2.
Deposit liabilities and mortgagors escrow accounts: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and 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 on time deposits.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase: The carrying amounts of borrowings under repurchase agreements maturing within ninety days approximate their fair values.
Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank: The fair values of these borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Companys current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Accrued interest and dividends: The carrying amounts of accrued interest and dividends approximate fair value.
Off-balance-sheet instruments: The Companys off-balance-sheet instruments consist of loan commitments. Fair values for loan commitments have not been presented as the future revenue derived from such financial instruments is not significant.

8. Common Stock
On February 26, 2010, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a fourth stock repurchase program (the Fourth Stock Repurchase Program) for the purchase of up to 318,952 shares of the Companys common stock, or approximately 5% of its outstanding common stock. The repurchase under the Fourth Stock Repurchase Program will be conducted solely through a Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. Repurchased shares will be held in treasury. This plan will continue until it is completed or terminated by the Board of Directors.
9. Subsequent Events
Subsequent Events represent events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Financial statements are considered issued when they are widely distributed to shareholders and others for general use and reliance in a form and format that complies with GAAP. Financial statements are considered available to be issued when they are complete in form and format that complies with GAAP and all approvals necessary for their issuance have been obtained.
Specifically, there are two types of subsequent events:
| Those comprising events or transactions providing additional evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date, including estimates inherent in the financial statement preparation process (referred to as recognized subsequent events). |
| Those comprising events that provide evidence about conditions not existing at the balance sheet date but, rather, that arose after such date (referred to as non-recognized subsequent events). |
The Company is an SEC filer and management has evaluated subsequent events through the date that the financial statements were issued.

General
Chicopee Savings Bank is a community-oriented financial institution dedicated to serving the financial services needs of consumers and businesses within its market area. We attract deposits from the general public and use such funds to originate primarily one- to four-family residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans and commercial loans. To a lesser extent, we originate multi-family loans, construction loans and consumer loans. At March 31, 2010, we operated out of our main office, lending and operations center, and seven branch offices located in Chicopee, Ludlow, South Hadley, Ware, and West Springfield. All of our offices are located in western Massachusetts.
Critical Accounting Policies
Managements discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition is based on the consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such financial statements requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, Management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of mortgage servicing rights, and other-than-temporary impairment on securities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis in making judgments about the carrying values of assets that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from the amount derived from Managements estimates and assumptions under different assumptions or conditions. Additional accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presented in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. A brief description of our current accounting policies involving significant management judgment follows.
19
Allowance for Loan Losses. Management believes the allowance for loan losses requires the most significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The allowance for loan losses is based on Managements evaluation of the level of the allowance required in relation to the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is a significant estimate and therefore regularly evaluates it for adequacy by taking into consideration factors such as: levels and historical trends in delinquencies, impaired loans, non-accruing loans, charge-offs and recoveries, and classified assets; trends in the volume and terms of the loans; effects of any change in underwriting policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of management staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; trends and conditions in the industries in which borrowers operate; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different provisions for loan losses.
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Securities. One of the significant estimates related to investment securities is the evaluation of other-than-temporary impairments. The evaluation of securities for other-than- temporary impairments is a quantitative and qualitative process, which is subject to risks and uncertainties and is intended to determine whether declines in the fair value of investments should be recognized in current period earnings. The risks and uncertainties include changes in general economic conditions, the issuers financial condition and/or future prospects, the effects of changes in interest rates or credit spreads and the expected recovery period of unrealized losses. Securities that are in an unrealized loss position are reviewed at least quarterly to determine if other-than-temporary impairment is present based on certain quantitative and qualitative factors and measures. The primary factors considered in evaluating whether a decline in value of securities is other-than-temporary include: (a) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost or amortized cost and the expected recovery period of the security, (b) the financial condition, credit rating and future prospects of the issuer, (c) whether the debtor is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, (d) the volatility of the securities market price, (e) the intent and ability of the Company to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery, which may be at maturity and (f) any other information and observable data considered relevant in determining whether other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, including the expectation of receipt of all principal and interest due.
Mortgage Servicing Rights. The valuation of mortgage servicing rights is a critical accounting policy which requires significant estimates and assumptions. The Bank often sells mortgage loans it originates and retains the ongoing servicing of such loans, receiving a fee for these services, generally 1% of the outstanding balance of the loan per annum. Mortgage servicing rights are recognized when they are acquired through the sale of loans, and are reported in other assets. They are amortized into non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Management uses an independent firm which specializes in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights to determine the fair value. The Company uses the amortization method for financial reporting. The most important assumption is the anticipated loan prepayment rate, and increases in prepayment speeds result in lower valuations of mortgage servicing rights. Management evaluates for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights, which can vary depending upon current interest rates and prepayment expectations, as compared to amortized cost. The use of different assumptions could produce a different valuation. All of the assumptions are based on standards the Company believes would be utilized by market participants in valuing mortgage servicing rights and are consistently derived and/or benchmarked against independent public sources.
Valuation of Other Real Estate Owned (OREO). Periodically, we acquire property in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of debt previously contracted. The valuation of this property is accounted for individually based on its net realizable value on the date of acquisition. At the acquisition date, if the net realizable value of the property is less than the book value of the loan, a charge or reduction in the allowance for loan losses is recorded. If the value of the property becomes subsequently impaired, as determined by an appraisal or an evaluation in accordance with our appraisal policy, we will record the decline by a charge against current earnings. Upon acquisition of a property, a current appraisal or brokers opinion must substantiate market value for the property.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009
The Companys assets increased $1.6 million, or 0.3%, to $545.8 million at March 31, 2010 compared to $544.2 million at December 31, 2009, primarily due to the increase in held-to-maturity securities of $3.4 million and increase in net loans of $2.2 million, offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $4.0 million. Held-to-maturity securities increased to $66.3 million from $63.0 million as of December 31, 2008, due to purchases of a $10.0 million bond and $3.4 million in U.S. treasury securities, partially offset by maturities of U.S. treasury securities of $9.7 million and pay downs of collateralized mortgage obligations and bonds of $363,000. Net loans increased $2.2 million, primarily due to increases in commercial business loans of $3.6 million, construction loans of $1.2 million, multi-family loans of $1.0 million, and home equity loans of $600,000; partially offset by decreases in one- to four-family loans of $2.4 million and commercial real estate loans of $1.8 million.
Total deposits at March 31, 2010 were $351.6 million compared to $365.5 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease in deposits is primarily due to decreases in certificate of deposit balances of $12.5 million, and demand deposits of $5.2 million. These decreases were partially offset by increases in passbook accounts of $2.1 million and money market deposit accounts of $1.6 million.
Total stockholders equity increased $411,000, or 0.4%, to $94.6 million at March 31, 2010 from $94.2 million at December 31, 2009, resulting mainly from the positive change in unearned compensation of $432,000 and increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $31,000, offset by the purchase of 100 shares of the Companys common stock through the Companys stock repurchase program at a cost of $2,000, and a net loss of $50,000. The Companys book value per share increased to $14.83 at March 31, 2010 compared to $14.76 at December 31, 2009.
Lending Activities
At March 31, 2010, the Companys net loan portfolio was $426.8 million, or 78.2% of total assets, compared to $424.7 million, or 78.0% of total assets at December 31, 2009. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's loan portfolio in dollar amounts and as a percentage of the respective portfolio at the dates indicated.

The Companys net loan portfolio increased $2.2 million, or 0.5%, during the first three months of 2010 primarily due the increases of commercial business loans of $3.6 million, construction loans of $1.2 million, multi-family loans of $1.0 million, and home equity loans of $600,000. These increases were partially offset by the decreases in one- to four-family loans of $2.4 million and commercial real estate loans of $1.8 million. In order to reduce interest rate risk, the Company sold $3.4 million of fixed rate, low coupon residential real estate loans originated in 2010 to the secondary market. Servicing rights are retained on all loans written and sold to the secondary market.

Nonaccrual loans decreased $37,000, or 0.8%, to $4.8 million as of March 31, 2010 compared to $4.8 million as of December 31, 2009. Management reviews nonaccrual loans on a loan by loan basis and applies specific reserves to loan balances in excess of collateral values if sufficient borrower cash flows cannot be identified.
Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management evaluates the need to establish allowances against losses on loans on a quarterly basis. When additional allowances are necessary, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount that management considers appropriate to cover inherent probable losses in the loan portfolio.
Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses consists of: (1) a specific allowance on identified problem loans; and (2) a general valuation allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio. Although we determine the amount of each element of the allowance separately, the entire allowance for loan losses is available for the entire portfolio. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
Specific Allowance Required for Identified Problem Loans. We establish an allowance on certain identified problem loans based on such factors as: (1) the strength of the customers personal or business cash flows; (2) the availability of other sources of repayment; (3) the amount due or past due; (4) the type and value of collateral; (5) the strength of our collateral position; (6) the estimated cost to sell the collateral; and (7) the borrowers effort to cure the delinquency.
23
General Valuation Allowance on the Remainder of the Loan Portfolio. We establish a general allowance for loans that are not delinquent to recognize the probable losses associated with lending activities. This general valuation allowance is determined by segregating the loans by loan category and assigning percentages to each category. The percentages are adjusted for significant factors that, in managements judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. These significant factors include: levels and historical trends in delinquencies, impaired loans, non-accrual loans, charge-offs, recoveries, and classified assets; trends in the volume and terms of loans; effects of any change in underwriting, policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of management and staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; trends and conditions in the industries in which borrowers operate; effects of changes in credit concentrations. The applied loss factors are reevaluated quarterly to ensure their relevance in the current economic environment.
We identify loans that may need to be charged off as a loss by reviewing all delinquent loans, classified loans and other loans that management may have concerns about collectability. For individually reviewed loans, the borrowers inability to make payments under the terms of the loan or a shortfall in collateral value would result in our allocating a portion of the allowance to the loan that was impaired.
The allowance for loan losses is based on managements estimate of the amount required to reflect the potential inherent losses in the loan portfolio, based on circumstances and conditions known or anticipated at each reporting date. There are inherent uncertainties with respect to the collectability of the Banks loans and it is reasonably possible that actual loss experience in the near term may differ from the amounts reflected in this report.
At March 31, 2010, Management believed that the current allowance for loan losses is appropriate to cover losses inherent in the current loan portfolio.
At March 31, 2010, our allowance for loan losses represented 1.0% of total loans and 89.5% of nonperforming loans. The allowance for loan losses increased from $4.1 million at December 31, 2009 to $4.3 million at March 31, 2010, due to a provision of $273,000, partially offset by net charge-offs of $47,000. The increase in the provision for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 reflects managements assessment of the continued growth of the loan portfolio, particularly the increase in commercial business loans of $3.6 million, as well as the establishment of specific reserves of $329,000 from December 31, 2009. The increase in specific reserves was primarily due to 11 loans that did not have a specific reserve at December 31, 2009. More specifically, two individual credits contributed to 67.2% of the specific reserve increase since December 31, 2009.

Deposits decreased $13.9 million, or 3.8%, to $351.6 million at March 31, 2010 from $365.5 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily due the decreases in certificate of deposit balances of $12.5 million, or 6.0%, and demand deposits of $5.2 million, or 12.2%. These decreases were offset by increases in passbook accounts of $2.1 million, or 4.8%, and money market deposit accounts of $1.6 million, or 3.0%. The significant decrease in certificate of deposit balances at March 31, 2010 was primarily due to an $8.0 million municipal account that withdrew for seasonal operations. We recovered $6.5 million of the municipal relationship by April 29, 2010, which increased our money market accounts with the customer by $4.1 million and sweeps accounts by a net of $2.9 million, offset by other account fluctuations.

FHLB advances increased $17.2 million, or 27.1%, from $63.7 million at December 31, 2009 to $80.9 million at March 31, 2010 due to proceeds from long-term advances of $24.5 million, offset by payments on long-term advances of $7.3 million. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $2.0 million, primarily due to fluctuations in the balances of these accounts.
26
During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company restructured $4.9 million in FHLB advances in order to lower the cost of borrowing and to increase the time until maturity. In executing this restructuring of FHLB advances, the Company incurred a prepayment penalty, which was blended with the effective rate and will be amortized over the life of the restructured advances. This restructuring did not meet the 10 percent cash flow test and is not required to be accounted for as a debt extinguishment. The new effective interest rate was determined based on the carrying amount of the original advance, adjusted for the present value of the new advance and the prepayment penalty. From time to time, management may use borrowed money to engage in various leverage strategies to increase income as opportunities arise.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
General
For the quarter ended March 31, 2010 we recorded a net loss of $50,000, compared to net income of $114,000 for the same quarter last year. Contributing to the net loss for the quarter were increases in FDIC assessment fees of $198,000 and a provision for loan losses of $179,000. Although we were able to increase net interest income $391,000 from last quarter, the increases in non-interest expenses resulted in a net loss for the period.
Analysis of Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends on the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them.
The following table sets forth average balances, interest income and expense and yields earned or rates paid on the major categories of assets and liabilities for the periods indicated. The average yields and costs are derived by dividing interest income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively. The yields and costs are annualized. Average balances are derived from average daily balances. The yields and costs include fees which are considered adjustments to yields. Loan interest and yield data does not include any accrued interest from non-accruing loans.

Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased $480,000, or 12.6%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to the decrease in cost of funds outweighing the decrease in yield of assets. Net interest margin increased 22 basis points to 3.43% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from the comparable period in 2009, primarily due to the decrease in the cost of deposits of 56 basis points.
Interest and dividend income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased $168,000, or 2.7%, to $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $6.1 million for the same period last year. Average interest-earning assets totaled $505.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $479.3 million for the same period last year, an increase of $26.1 million, or 5.4%. Average loans increased $11.4 million, or 2.7%, primarily due to strong commercial originations. Average investment securities increased $14.9 million for the period and tax equivalent investment securities interest income increased $147,000, or 61.3%, due to the increase in bond income of $133,000 for the quarter. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 14 basis points to 5.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, principally as a result of lower market rates of interest.
Total interest expense decreased $312,000, or 13.3%, to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $2.3 million for the same period in 2009, due to lowering deposit costs by $393,000. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $10.4 million, or 2.6% to $410.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $400.4 million for the comparable period in 2009, reflecting increases in interest-bearing deposits of $7.8 million and borrowings of $2.6 million. Rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities declined 36 basis points to 2.01% for the first quarter of 2010, largely reflecting the lower interest rates paid on deposits. The lower interest rate environment led to a decrease in rates paid for certificates of deposit as well as the repricing of a portion of the Companys outstanding certificates of deposit.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2010 was $273,000 compared to $94,000 for the same period in 2009. The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to the establishment of specific reserves of $329,000 and an increase in the general reserve related to the increase in commercial business loans of $3.6 million.
Non-interest Income
Total non-interest income decreased $79,000, or 11.5%, to $607,000 for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $686,000 for the same period in 2009, primarily due to the decrease in income from loan sales of $116,000 and a decrease in gains on securities available-for-sale of $36,000, partially offset by the increase in service charges, fees, and commissions of $95,000. The increase in service charges, fees, and commissions is due to the increases in NSF fee income of $45,000, investment services commission of $27,000, and point of sale and ATM transaction fees of $20,000.
Non-interest Expenses
Non-interest expenses increased $298,000, or 7.0%, to $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2009. The increase is attributable to the increases in FDIC assessment fees of $198,000 and salary and benefit expenses of $184,000. The increase in salary and benefit expenses is largely due to the 5 week pay period in March 2010 compared to only a 4 week pay period in March 2009.

Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
We believe that it is common practice in the banking industry to present interest income and related yield information on tax exempt securities on a tax-equivalent basis and that such information is useful to investors because it facilitates comparisons among financial institutions. However, the adjustment of interest income and yields on tax exempt securities to a tax equivalent amount may be considered to include financial information that is not in compliance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation from GAAP to non-GAAP is provided below.

Liquidity Management
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Prepayment rates can have a significant impact on interest income. Because of the large percentage of loans we hold, rising or falling interest rates have a significant impact on the prepayment speeds of our earning assets that, in turn, affect the rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayments tend to slow. When interest rates fall, prepayments tend to rise. Our asset sensitivity would be reduced if prepayments slow and vice versa. While we believe these assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates will approximate actual loan repayment activity. Our short-term securities are primarily consisted of U.S. Treasury and government agencies, which we use primarily for the collateral purposes for sweep accounts maintained by commercial customers. The balances of these securities fluctuate as the aggregate balance of our sweep accounts fluctuate.
We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of: (1) expected loan demands; (2) expected deposit flows; (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy.
Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2010, cash and cash
31
equivalents, net of reserve requirements, totaled $16.0 million. The fair value of agency and U.S. Treasury securities, net of pledged securities, totaled $15.5 million. Our over collateralized securities pledging position is $4.9 million. We had loans held-for-sale of $621,000 at March 31, 2010. The fair value of collateralized mortgage obligations, net of a 5% liquidity discount, totaled $5.2 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale with unrealized gains had a fair value of $478,000 and unrealized gains of $148,000 at March 31, 2010. In addition, at March 31, 2010, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $97.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. On March 31, 2010, we had $80.9 million of borrowings outstanding, including $15,000 in short-term borrowings. In addition, we had the following available lines of credit to use as contingency sources: $3.0 million with Bankers Bank, N.E. and available Fed Funds to purchase of $3.0 million.
Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2010 totaled $87.9 million, or 45.4%, of our certificates of deposit. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before March 31, 2011. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
Capital Management
We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At March 31, 2010, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements. The Bank is considered well capitalized under regulatory guidelines. The Company is subject to the Federal Reserve Boards capital adequacy guidelines for bank holding companies (on a consolidated basis) substantially similar to those of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company exceeded these requirements at March 31, 2010.
The Companys and Banks actual capital amounts and ratios as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are presented in the following table:

Restrictions on Dividends
Dividends from Chicopee Bancorp, Inc. may depend, in part, upon receipt of dividends from the Bank. The subsidiary may pay dividends to its parent out of so much of its net income as the Banks directors deem appropriate, subject to the limitation that the total of all dividends declared by the Bank in any calendar year may not exceed the total of its net income of that year combined with its retained net income of the preceding two years and subject to minimum regulatory capital requirements. The approval of the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks is required if the total of all dividends declared in any calendar year exceeds the total of its net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits of the preceding two years. Net profits for this purpose means the remainder of all earnings from current operations plus actual recoveries on loans and investments and other assets after deducting from the total thereof all current operating expenses, actual losses, accrued dividends on preferred stock, if any and all federal and state taxes.
A total of $500,000 in dividends was declared in December 2009 from the Bank to the Company. The Bank paid the dividend in January 2010.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, letters of credit and lines of credit. We currently have no plans to engage in hedging activities in the future.
Credit-related financial instruments
The Company is a party to credit related 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, standby letters of credit, and various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Companys exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
33
The following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

Commitments to grant loans |
$ | 21,099 | $ | 17,429 | ||

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit |
56,823 | 59,189 | ||||
Standby letters of credit |
2,334 | 2,334 |
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. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on managements credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include cash, securities, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and real estate.
Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit are uncollateralized, usually do not contain a specified maturity date, and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.
Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, requires certain disclosures and liability recognition for the fair value at issuance of guarantees that fall within its scope. The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. The Company has issued conditional commitments in the form of standby letters of credit to guarantee payment on behalf of a customer and guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally arise in connection with lending relationships. The credit risk involved in issuing these instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Contingent obligations under standby letters of credit totaled $2,334 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and represent the maximum potential future payments the Company could be required to make. Typically, these instruments have terms of 12 months or less and expire unused; therefore, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer is evaluated individually for creditworthiness under the same underwriting standards used for commitments to extend credit and on-balance sheet instruments. The Companys policies governing loan collateral apply to standby letters of credit at the time of credit extension. Loan-to-value ratios are generally consistent with loan-to-value requirements for other commercial loans secured by similar types of collateral. The fair value of the Companys standby letters of credit at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was insignificant.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
Qualitative Aspects of Market Risk
We manage the interest rate sensitivity of our interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets in an effort to minimize the adverse effects of changes in the interest rate environment. Deposit accounts typically react more quickly to changes in market interest rates than mortgage loans because of the shorter maturities of deposits. As a result, sharp increases in interest rates may adversely affect our earnings while decreases in interest rates may beneficially affect our earnings. To reduce the potential volatility of our earnings, we have sought to improve the match between asset and liability maturities and rates, while maintaining an acceptable interest rate spread. Our strategy for managing interest rate risk emphasizes: adjusting the maturities of borrowings; adjusting the investment portfolio mix and duration; increasing our focus on shorter-term, adjustable-rate commercial and multi-family lending; selling fixed-rate mortgage loans; and periodically selling available-for-sale securities. We currently do not participate in hedging programs, interest rate swaps or other activities involving the use of derivative financial instruments.

We have an Asset/Liability Committee, which includes members of management, to communicate, coordinate and control all aspects involving asset/liability management. The committee reports to the Board of Directors of the Bank quarterly and establishes and monitors the volume, maturities, pricing and mix of assets and funding sources with the objective of managing assets and funding sources to provide results that are consistent with liquidity, growth, risk limits and profitability goals.
Quantitative Aspects of Market Risk
We analyze our interest rate sensitivity to manage the risk associated with interest rate movements through the use of interest income simulation. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive. An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period.
Our goal is to manage asset and liability positions to moderate the effects of interest rate fluctuations on net interest income. Interest income simulations are completed quarterly and presented to the Asset/Liability Committee and Board of Directors of the Bank. The simulations provide an estimate of the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income under a range of assumptions. The numerous assumptions used in the simulation process are reviewed by the Asset/Liability Committee and the Board of Directors of the Bank on a quarterly basis. Changes to these assumptions can significantly affect the results of the simulation. The simulation incorporates assumptions regarding the potential timing in the repricing of certain assets and liabilities when market rates change and the changes in spreads between different market rates. The simulation analysis incorporates managements current assessment of the risk that pricing margins will change adversely over time due to competition or other factors.
Simulation analysis is only an estimate of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. We continually review the potential effect changes in interest rates could have on the repayment of rate sensitive assets and funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities.
The table below sets forth an approximation of our exposure as a percentage of estimated net interest income for the next 12 month period using interest income simulation. The simulation uses projected repricing of assets and liabilities at March 31, 2010 on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated repayments and scheduled rate adjustments. Prepayment rates can have a significant impact on interest income simulation. Because of the large percentage of loans we hold, rising or falling interest rates have a significant impact on the prepayment speeds of our earning assets that, in turn, affect the rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayments tend to slow. When interest rates fall, prepayments tend to rise. Our asset sensitivity would be reduced if prepayments slow and vice versa. While we believe such assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates will approximate future mortgage-backed security and loan repayment activity.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
The Companys management, including the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the Exchange Act). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
