Business





General





Hampden Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed by Hampden Bank to become the stock holding company for Hampden Bank upon completion of Hampden Bancorp, MHC’s conversion from a mutual bank holding company to a stock bank holding company. Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and Hampden Bank completed the conversion of the holding company
structure of Hampden Bank and the related stock offering on January 16, 2007 with the issuance of 7,949,879 shares (including 378,566 shares issued to the Hampden Bank Charitable Foundation) raising net proceeds of $73.4 million. The information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), Hampden Bank (the “Bank), and Hampden LS, Inc., including the consolidated financial statements and related financial data, relates primarily
to Hampden Bank. Hampden Bancorp, Inc. contributed funds to Hampden LS, Inc. to enable it to make a 15-year loan to the employee stock ownership plan to allow it to purchase shares of the Company common stock as part of the completion of the initial public offering.  Hampden Bank has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hampden Investment Corporation, which engages in buying, selling, holding and otherwise dealing in securities, and Hampden Insurance Agency, which ceased selling insurance products in November
of 2000 and remains inactive.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. During any period prior to January 16, 2007, the Company was newly organized and owned no assets. Therefore, the financial information for any period prior to January 16, 2007 presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K is that of Hampden Bancorp, MHC and its subsidiary.







Hampden Bank, the longest standing bank headquartered in Springfield, Massachusetts, is a full-service, community-oriented financial institution offering products and services to individuals, families, and businesses through nine offices located in Hampden County in Massachusetts. Hampden Bank was originally organized as a Massachusetts
state-chartered mutual savings bank dating back to 1852. Hampden Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as well as by the Depositors Insurance Fund of Massachusetts, (“DIF”). Hampden Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLB”) and is regulated by the FDIC and the Massachusetts Division of Banks. Hampden Bank’s business consists primarily of making loans to its customers, including residential mortgages,
commercial real estate loans, commercial loans and consumer loans, and investing in a variety of investment and mortgage-backed securities. Hampden Bank funds these lending and investment activities with deposits from the general public, funds generated from operations and select borrowings. Hampden Bank also provides access to insurance and investment products through its Financial Services Division, Hampden Financial.

 Market Area


Hampden Bank offers financial products and services designed to meet the financial needs of our customers. Our primary deposit-gathering area is concentrated in the Massachusetts cities and towns of Springfield, West Springfield, Longmeadow, Agawam and Wilbraham. We offer Remote Deposit Capture to our customers, which
allows us to expand our deposit gathering outside of our normal deposit area. Our lending area is broader than our deposit-gathering area and primarily includes Hampden, Hampshire, Franklin, and Berkshire counties of Massachusetts as well as portions of northern Connecticut.







Hampden Bank is headquartered in Springfield, Massachusetts. All of Hampden Bank's offices are located in Hampden County. Springfield is the third largest city in Massachusetts, located in south western Massachusetts, 90 miles west of Boston and 30 miles north of Hartford, Connecticut, connected by major interstate highways. A diversified
mix of industry groups operate within Hampden County, including manufacturing, health care, higher education, wholesale/retail trade and service. The major employers in the area include MassMutual Financial Group, Top-Flite Golf Company, Dow Jones & Co., Baystate Health System, several area universities and colleges, and Big Y Supermarkets. The county in which Hampden Bank currently operates includes a mixture of suburban, rural, and urban markets. Hampden Bank's market area is projected to experience
modest population and household growth through 2010. Based on census data, Hampden County is expected to grow in population from 462,529 in 2005 to 471,661 in 2010. This is a projected increase of 1.97%. The strongest growth is projected in the 55+ age group and $50,000+ household categories. From 2005 through 2010, the median household income is projected to increase by 19.2% from $47,505 to $56,636.

Competition


The Company faces intense competition in attracting deposits and loans. The Company’s most direct competition for deposits has historically come from the several financial institutions and credit unions operating in our market areas and, to a lesser extent, from other financial service companies such as brokerage firms and insurance
companies. The Company also faces competition for depositors' funds from money market funds, mutual funds and other corporate and government securities. Banks owned by large super-regional bank holding companies such as Bank of America Corporation, Sovereign Bancorp, Inc., Citizens Financial Group and TD Banknorth, Inc. also operate in the Company’s market area. These institutions are significantly larger than the Company, and, therefore, have significantly greater resources.





The Company’s competition for loans comes primarily from financial institutions in our market areas, and from other financial service providers such as mortgage companies and mortgage brokers. Competition for loans also comes from a number of non-depository
financial service companies entering the mortgage market. These include insurance companies, securities companies and specialty finance companies.








The Company expects competition to increase in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry. Technological advances, for example, have lowered the barriers
to market entry, allowed banks and other lenders to expand their geographic reach by providing services over the Internet and made it possible for non-depository institutions to offer products and services that traditionally have been provided by banks. Changes in federal law permit affiliation among banks, securities firms and insurance companies, which promotes a competitive environment in the financial services industry. Competition for deposits and the origination of loans could limit the Company’s
future growth.







Lending Activities







General. The Company's gross loan portfolio consisted of an aggregate of $387.7 million at June 30, 2009, representing 68.3% of total assets at that date. In its lending activities, the Company originates commercial real estate loans, residential real
estate loans secured by one-to-four-family residences, residential and commercial construction loans, commercial and industrial loans, home equity lines-of-credit, fixed rate home equity loans and other personal consumer loans. While the Company makes loans throughout Massachusetts, most of its lending activities are concentrated in Hampden and Hampshire counties. Loans originated totaled $130.2 million in fiscal 2009 and $118.6 million in fiscal 2008. Residential mortgage loans sold into the secondary
market, on a servicing-retained basis, totaled $21.0 million during fiscal 2009 and $9.1 million in fiscal 2008, and residential mortgage loans sold into the secondary market, on a servicing-released basis, totaled $3.1 million during fiscal 2009 and $7.2 million during fiscal 2008. The Company’s largest loan is $9.4 million. The average balance of the Company’s ten largest loans is $4.5 million.

Commercial Real Estate Loans.  The Company originated $25.7 million and $19.4 million of commercial real estate loans in 2009 and 2008, respectively, and had $127.6 million of commercial real estate loans, with an average yield of 6.3%, in its portfolio
as of June 30, 2009, representing 32.9% of the total gross loan portfolio on such date. The Company intends to further grow this segment of its loan portfolio, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of its total loan portfolio.





Interest rates on commercial real estate loans adjust over periods of three, five, or seven years based primarily on Federal Home Loan Bank rates. In general, rates on commercial real estate loans are priced at a spread over Federal Home Loan Bank advance rates.  Commercial real estate loans are generally secured by commercial
properties such as industrial properties, hotels, small office buildings, retail facilities, warehouses multi-family income properties and owner-occupied properties used for business. Generally, commercial real estate loans are approved with a maximum 80% loan to appraised value ratio.





In its evaluation of a commercial real estate loan application, the Company considers the net operating income of the property, the borrower’s expertise, credit history, and the profitability and value of the underlying property. For loans secured by rental properties, the Company will also consider the terms of the leases and the
quality of the tenant. The Company generally requires that the properties securing these loans have minimum debt service coverage sufficient to support the loan. The Company generally requires the borrowers seeking commercial real estate loans to personally guarantee those loans.





Commercial real estate loans generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than residential mortgage loans. Loan repayment is often dependent on the successful operation and management of the properties, as well as on the collateral value of the commercial real estate securing the loan. Economic events and changes
in government regulations could have an adverse impact on the cash flows generated by properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate loans and on the value of such properties.





Residential Real Estate Loans.  The Company offers fixed-rate and adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans. The majority of these loans have maturities up to 30 years and generally have maximum loan amounts of up to $1.0 million. In its residential
mortgage loan originations, the Company lends up to a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 100% for first-time home buyers and immediately sells all of its 100% loan-to-value ratio loans.  For fiscal year 2009, the Company originated 21 loans with a loan-to-value ratio of 95% or greater, of which 81% were sold. Hampden Bank has an Asset Liability Committee, which evaluates whether the Company should retain or sell any fixed rate loans that have maturities greater than 15 years. As of June 30, 2009, the residential
real estate mortgage loan portfolio totaled $123.2 million, or 31.8% of the total gross loan portfolio on that date, and had an average yield of 5.6%. Of the residential mortgage loans outstanding on that date, $96.7 million were adjustable-rate loans with an average yield of 5.6% and $26.5 million were fixed-rate mortgage loans with an average yield of 5.9%. Residential mortgage loan originations totaled $41.0 million and $38.0 million for fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 Table of Contents





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





During the origination of fixed rate mortgages, each loan is analyzed to determine if the loan will be sold into the secondary market or held in portfolio. The Company retains servicing for loans sold to Fannie Mae and earns a fee equal to 0.25% of the loan amount outstanding for providing these services.  Loans which the Company
originates that have a higher risk profile or are outside of our normal underwriting standards are sold to a third party along with the servicing rights.





At June 30, 2009, fixed rate monthly payment loans held in the Company’s portfolio totaled $26.5 million, or 21.2% of total residential real estate mortgage loans at that date. The total of loans serviced for others as of June 30, 2009 is $48.8 million.





The adjustable-rate mortgage loans (“ARM Loans”) offered by the Company make up the largest portion of the residential mortgage loans held in portfolio. At June 30, 2009, ARM Loans totaled $96.7 million or 78.5% of total residential loans outstanding at that date. The Company originates ARMs with a maximum loan-to-value ratio
of up to 95% with Private Mortgage Insurance. Generally, any ARM loan with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 90% requires Private Mortgage Insurance. ARMs are offered for terms of up to 30 years with initial interest rates that are fixed for 1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 years. After the initial fixed-rate period, the interest rates on the loans are reset based on the relevant U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity Treasury Index, or CMT Index, plus add-on margins of varying amounts, for periods of 1, 3, and 5 years. Interest rate
/adjustments on such loans typically range from 2.0% to 3.0% during any adjustment period and 5.0% to 6.0% over the life of the loan. Periodic adjustments in the interest rate charged on ARM Loans help to reduce the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates. However, ARM Loans generally possess an element of credit risk not inherent in fixed-rate mortgage loans, because borrowers are potentially exposed to increases in debt service requirements over the life of the loan in the event market interest
rates rise. Higher payments may increase the risk of default or prepayments.





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










Home EquityLoans.  The Company offers home equity lines-of-credit and home equity term loans. The Company originated
$17.4 million and $15.4 million of home equity lines-of-credit and loans during 2009 and 2008, respectively, and at June 30, 2009 had $58.7 million of home equity lines-of-credit and loans outstanding, representing 15.2% of the loan portfolio, with an average yield of 4.6% at that date. Approximately 39% of the Company’s home equity lines-of-credit and loans are classified as first in priority liens.





Home equity lines-of-credit and loans are secured by first or second mortgages on one-to-four family owner occupied properties, and are made in amounts such that the combined first and second mortgage balances generally do not exceed 90% of the value of the property serving as collateral at time of origination. Under our underwriting standards,
loan originations are made in amounts such that balances do not exceed 85% of the value of the property serving as collateral at time of origination. The lines-of-credit are available to be drawn upon for 10 to 20 years, at the end of which time they become term loans amortized over 5 to 10 years. Interest rates on home equity lines normally adjust based on the month-end prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal. The undrawn portion of home equity lines-of-credit totaled $28.1 million at June 30, 2009.





Commercial Loans.  The Company originates secured and unsecured commercial loans to business customers in its market area for the purpose of financing equipment purchases, working capital, expansion and other general business purposes. The Company originated
$22.8  million and $15.0 million in commercial loans during fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively, and as of June 30, 2009 had $38.9 million in commercial loans in its portfolio, representing 10.0% of the loan portfolio, with an average yield of 4.8%. The Company intends to further grow this segment of its loan portfolio, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of its total loan portfolio.





The Company’s commercial loans are generally collateralized by equipment, accounts receivable and inventory, and are usually supported by personal guarantees. The Company offers both term and revolving commercial loans. The former have either fixed or adjustable-rates of interest and generally fully amortize over a term of between
three and seven years. Revolving loans are written on demand with annual reviews, with floating interest rates that are indexed to the Company’s base rate of interest.

 Table of Contents


When making commercial loans, the Company considers the financial statements of the borrower, the borrower’s payment history with respect to both corporate and personal debt, the debt service capabilities of the borrower, the projected cash flows of the business,
the viability of the industry in which the borrower operates and the value of the collateral. The Company has established limits on the amount of commercial loans in any single industry.





Because commercial loans often depend on the successful operation or management of the business, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse changes in the economy. Further, collateral securing such loans may depreciate in value over time, may be difficult
to appraise and to liquidate, and may fluctuate in value.





Construction Loans.  The Company offers residential and commercial construction loans. The majority of non-residential construction loans are written to become permanent financing. The Company originated $15.9 million and $22.3 million of construction
loans during fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively, and at June 30, 2009 had $17.2 million of construction loans outstanding, representing 4.5% of the loan portfolio.





Consumer and Other Loans.The Company invests in a variety of consumer and other loans, including manufactured homes, auto loans and
loans secured by passbook savings or certificate accounts. The Company originated $7.4 million and $8.6 million of consumer and other loans, including purchases of manufactured home loans, during 2009 and 2008, respectively, and at June 30, 2009 had $22.1 million of consumer and other loans outstanding. Of the $7.4 million of originations in 2009, $5.6 million consists of manufactured housing loans. The majority of the manufactured housing loans are purchased from a third party who has over 30 years of specialized
market experience in originating manufactured home loans. Consumer and other loans outstanding represented 5.7% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2009, with an average yield of 8.5%.





Loan Origination.  Loan originations come from a variety of sources. The primary source of originations is our salaried and commissioned loan personnel, and to a lesser extent, local mortgage brokers, advertising and referrals from customers. The Company
occasionally purchases participation interests in commercial real estate loans and commercial loans from banks located in Massachusetts and Connecticut. The Company underwrites these loans using its own underwriting criteria.





The Company makes commitments to loan applicants based on specific terms and conditions.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company had commitments to grant loans of $23.6 million, unadvanced funds on home equity lines of credit totaling $28.1 million, unadvanced funds on overdraft lines-of-credit totaling $2.0 million, unadvanced funds
on commercial lines-of-credit totaling $18.7 million, unadvanced funds due mortgagors and on construction loans totaling $8.8 million and standby letters of credit totaling $756,000.





Generally, the Company charges origination fees, or points, and collects fees to cover the costs of appraisals and credit reports. For information regarding the Company’s recognition of loan fees and costs, please refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, beginning on

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





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





The Company’s loan policy has established specific loan approval limits.  Loan officers may approve loans up to their individual lending limit.  The loan committee reviews all loan applications and approves relationships greater than the loan officer’s limit.  Certain loan relationships require
Board of Investment approval.  The members of the Bank’s loan committee include the Bank’s President, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, two Senior Vice Presidents, Vice President of the credit department and commercial loan originators.





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

 Table of Contents


The Company generally will not make loans aggregating more than $10.0 million to one borrower (or related entity). Exceptions to this limit require the approval of the Board of Investment prior to loan origination. The Company’s internal lending limit is lower
than the Massachusetts legal lending limit, which is 20.0% of a bank’s retained earnings and equity, or $13.9 million for the Company as of June 30, 2009.





The Company has established a risk rating system for its commercial real estate and commercial loans. This system evaluates a number of factors useful in indicating the risk of default and risk of loss associated with a loan. These ratings are reviewed by commercial credit analysts who do not have responsibility for loan originations.
The Company also uses a third party loan review firm to test and review these ratings, and then report their results to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Hampden Bancorp, Inc (the “Audit Committee”).





The Company occasionally participates in loans originated by third parties to supplement our origination efforts. The Company underwrites these loans using its own underwriting criteria.







Loan Maturity.  The following table summarizes the final maturities of the Company’s loan portfolio at June 30, 2009. This table does not reflect scheduled principal payments, unscheduled prepayments, or the ability of certain loans to reprice prior
to maturity dates. Demand loans, and loans having no stated repayment schedule, are reported as being due in one year or less:

Loan Quality







General.  One of the Company’s most important operating objectives is to maintain a high level of asset quality. Management uses a number of strategies in furtherance of this goal including maintaining sound credit standards in loan originations,
monitoring the loan portfolio through internal and third-party loan reviews, and employing active collection and workout processes for delinquent or problem loans.







Delinquent Loans.  Management performs a monthly review of all delinquent loans. The actions taken with respect to delinquencies vary depending upon the nature of the delinquent loans and the period of delinquency. A late charge is normally assessed on
loans where the scheduled payment remains unpaid after a 15 day grace period for residential mortgages and a 10 day grace period for commercial loans. After mailing delinquency notices, the Company’s loan collection personnel call the borrower to ascertain the reasons for delinquency and the prospects for repayment. On loans secured by one- to four-family owner-occupied property, the Company initially attempts to work out a payment schedule with the borrower in order to avoid foreclosure. Any such loan
restructurings must be approved by the level of officer authority required for a new loan of that amount. If these actions do not result in a satisfactory resolution, the Company refers the loan to legal counsel and counsel initiates foreclosure proceedings. For commercial real estate, construction and commercial loans, collection procedures may vary depending on individual circumstances.





Other Real Estate Owned.  The Company classifies property acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure as other real estate owned (“OREO”) in its consolidated financial statements. When property is placed into
OREO, it is recorded at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure or acceptance of deed in lieu of foreclosure. At the time of transfer to OREO, any excess of carrying value over fair value less estimated cost to sell is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Management inspects all OREO property periodically. Holding costs and declines in fair value result in charges to expense after the property is acquired. At June 30, 2009, the Company had
$1.4 million of property classified as OREO.


Classification of Assets and Loan Review.  Risk ratings are assigned to all credit relationships to differentiate and manage levels of risk in individual exposures and throughout the portfolio.  Ratings are called Customer Risk Ratings (CRR).  Customer
Risk Ratings are designed to reflect the risk to the Company in any Total Customer Relationship Exposure.  Risk ratings are used to profile the risk inherent in portfolio outstandings and exposures to identify developing trends and relative levels of risk and to provide guidance for the promulgation of policies, which control the amount of risk in an individual credit and in the entire portfolio, identify deteriorating credits and predict the probability of default.  Timeliness of this process
allows early intervention in the recovery process so as to maximize the likelihood of full recovery, and establish a basis for maintaining prudent reserves against loan losses.





The Account Manager has the primary responsibility for the timely and accurate maintenance of Customer Risk Ratings.  The risk rating responsibility for the aggregate portfolio rests with the Commercial and Residential Division Executives.  If a disagreement surfaces regarding a risk rating, the loan review committee
makes the final determination. All others in a supervisory or review function regarding a certain credit have a responsibility for reviewing the appropriateness of the rating and bringing to senior management’s attention any dispute so it may be resolved.  Generally, changes to risk ratings are made immediately upon receipt of material information, which suggests that the current rating is not appropriate.





The Company engages an independent third party to conduct a semi-annual review of its commercial mortgage and commercial loan portfolios. These loan reviews provide a credit evaluation of individual loans to determine whether the risk ratings assigned are appropriate. Independent loan review findings are presented directly to the Audit
Committee.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status either when reasonable doubt exists as to the full timely collection of interest and principal or when a loan becomes 90 days past due unless an evaluation clearly indicates that the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Loans are reclassified to accrual status
no sooner than regulatory requirements allow. The increase in residential mortgage non-accrual loans from fiscal year 2008 to fiscal year 2009 was due to the continued deterioration of the housing and real estate markets, as well as overall weakness in the economy. We continue to closely monitor the local and regional real estate markets and other factors related to risks inherent in our loan portfolio. The decrease in commercial non-accrual loans from fiscal year 2008 to fiscal year 2009 was due to $1.4 million
that was transferred to OREO, as well as $739,000 of charge-offs in fiscal year ended 2009.





Allowance for Loan Losses.  In originating loans, the Company recognizes that losses will be experienced on loans and that the risk of loss will vary with many factors, including the type of loan
being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan, general economic conditions and, in the case of a secured loan, the quality of the security for the loan over the term of the loan. The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses that is intended to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and as such, this allowance represents management’s best estimate of the probable known and inherent credit losses in the loan portfolio as of the date of the financial statements. The
allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.




12
 Table of Contents


The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of
any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.




The allowance consists of specifically allocated and general components.  The specifically allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired.  For such loans that are classified as impaired,an allowance is established when the
discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.




A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral
value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer
and residential mortgages for impairment. At June 30, 2009, impaired loans totaled $2.0 million with an established valuation allowance of $10,000. Approximately $954,000 of the $2.0 million in impaired loans is comprised of a single loan relationship that was in performing status as of June 30, 2009.





While the Company believes that it has established adequate specifically allocated and general allowances for losses on loans, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if future conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the evaluations. In addition, as an integral part of their examination process, the Company’s
regulators periodically review the allowance for loan losses.

As shown in the table above, the provision for loan losses has increased over the past year. This is due to increases in loan delinquencies, general economic conditions, and growth in the loan portfolio. The Company completes its allowance for  loan loss review using a calculation that uses specific reserves
on impaired credits and general reserves on non-classified credits. During this review process, the Company has implemented a qualitative review of the non-classified loans, using historical charge-offs as the starting point and then adding additional basis points for specific qualitative factors such as the levels and trends in delinquency and impairments, trends in volume and terms as risk rating migration, effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards, experience of lending management and
staff, and national and local economic trends and conditions. Adjustments to the provision are made when quarterly reviews indicate that revisions are necessary.

Investment Activities





General.  The Company’s investment policy is approved and adopted by the Board of Directors. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as authorized by the Board of Directors, implement this policy based on the established guidelines
within the written policy.





The basic objectives of the investment function are to enhance the profitability of the Company by keeping its investable funds fully employed at the maximum after-tax return, to provide adequate regulatory and operational liquidity, to minimize and/or adjust the interest rate risk position of the Company, to assist in reducing the Company’s
corporate tax liability, to minimize the Company’s exposure to credit risk, to provide collateral for pledging requirements, to serve as a countercyclical balance to earnings by absorbing funds when the Company’s loan demand is low and infusing funds when loan demand is high and to provide a diversity of earning assets to mortgage/loan investments.





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





Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of equity securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses.  In estimating other-than-temporary
impairment losses for equity securities, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.  For those debt securities for which the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost and the Company does
not intend to sell such security and it is likely that it will not be required to sell such security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis less any credit losses, FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 requires that the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment losses be recognized in earnings while the noncredit component is recognized in other comprehensive loss, net of related taxes.





Government-Sponsored Enterprises.  At June 30, 2009, the Company’s government-sponsored enterprises portfolio totaled $10.1 million, or 8.7% of the total portfolio on
that date.


Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities.At June 30, 2009, the Company’s portfolio
of residential mortgage-backed securities totaled $105.3 million, or 90.7% of the portfolio on that date, and included pass-through securities totaling $87.2 million and collateralized mortgage obligations totaling $7.3 million directly insured or guaranteed by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). The Company also invests in securities issued by non-agency or private mortgage originators, provided those securities are rated AAA by nationally recognized
rating agencies at the time of purchase. At June 30, 2009, we held 24 securities issued by private mortgage originators that had an amortized cost of $12.0 million and a fair value of $11.2 million. All of these investments are “Senior” Class tranches and have underlying credit enhancement.  These securities were originated in the period 2002-2005 and are performing in accordance with contractual terms. The majority of the decrease in the fair value of these securities
is attributed to changes in market interest rates.  Management estimates the loss projections for each security by evaluating the industry rating, amount of delinquencies, amount of foreclosure, amount of other real estate owned, average credit scores, average amortized loan to value and credit enhancement.  Based on this review, management determines whether other-than-temporary impairment existed. Management has determined that no other-than-temporary impairment existed as of June 30,
2009. We will continue to evaluate these securities for other-than-temporary impairment, which could result in a future non-cash charge to earnings.







Marketable Equity Securities.  At June 30, 2009, the Company’s portfolio of marketable equity securities totaled $707,000, or 0.60% of the portfolio at that date, and consisted of common and
preferred stock of various corporations. The Company’s investment policy requires no more than 5% of Tier I capital in any one issuer and no more than 20% of Tier I capital in any one industry.  The total of all investments in common and preferred stocks may not exceed 100% of Tier I capital.  Issues must be listed on the NYSE, or AMEX or traded on NASDAQ.  During the twelve months ended June 30, 2009 the Company incurred a write-down for other-than-temporary impairment of
investment securities of $388,000.

  Sources of Funds








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


Deposits.  Consumer and commercial deposits are gathered primarily from the Company’s primary market area through the offering of a broad selection of deposit products including checking,
regular savings, money market deposits and time deposits, including certificate of deposit accounts and individual retirement accounts. The FDIC insures deposits up to certain limits (generally, $100,000 per depositor except self-directed retirement accounts, which are insured up to $250,000 per depositor) and the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) fully insures amounts in excess of such limits.  The FDIC has temporarily increased the insurance on deposits from $100,000 to $250,000, effective
until December 31, 2009.





Competition and general market conditions affect the Company’s ability to attract and retain deposits.  We offer Remote Deposit Capture to our business customers, which allows us to expand our deposit gathering outside of our normal deposit area. The Company offers rates on various deposit products based on local competitive
pricing and the Company’s need for new funds.  Occasionally, the Company does offer “special” rate pricing in an effort to attract new customers.  The Company does not have any brokered deposits.





The following table sets forth certain information relative to the composition of the Company’s average deposit accounts and the weighted average interest rate on each category of deposits:

Borrowings.  The Company utilizes advances from the FHLB primarily in connection with funding growth in the balance sheet and to assist in the management of its interest rate risk by match funding
longer term fixed rate loans. FHLB advances are secured primarily by certain of the Company’s mortgage loans, investment securities and by its holding of FHLB stock. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding $72.4 million in FHLB advances, and had the ability to borrow an additional $81.5 million based on available collateral.





The following table sets forth certain information concerning balances and interest rates on the Company’s FHLB advances at the dates and for the years indicated:

Of the $72.4 million in advances outstanding at June 30, 2009, $37.0 million bearing a weighted-average interest rate of 4.13% are callable by the FHLB at its option and in its sole discretion only if the level of a specific index were to exceed a pre-determined maximum rate. In the event the FHLB calls these advances, the Company will
evaluate its liquidity and interest rate sensitivity position at that time and determine whether to replace the called advances with new borrowings.





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





In addition to FHLB borrowings as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had $10.9 million with a weighted average rate of 0.75% and $13.2 million with a weighted average rate of 1.75%, respectively, of overnight repurchase agreements with business customers.  These repurchase agreements are collateralized by government-sponsored
enterprise investments.





Personnel





As of June 30, 2009, the Company had 99 full-time and 10 part-time employees, none of whom is represented by a collective bargaining unit. The Company considers its relationship with its employees to be good.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION


General




Hampden Bancorp, Inc. is a Delaware corporation and registered bank holding company. Hampden Bancorp, Inc. is regulated as a bank holding company by the Federal Reserve Board. Hampden Bank is a Massachusetts-charted stock savings bank. Hampden Bank is the wholly-owned subsidiary of Hampden Bancorp, Inc.  Hampden Bank’s
deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC and by DIF of Massachusetts for amounts in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. Hampden Bank is subject to extensive regulation by the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks, as its chartering agency, and by the FDIC, as its deposit insurer. Hampden Bank is required to file reports with, and is periodically examined by, the FDIC and the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks concerning its activities and financial condition and must obtain regulatory approvals
prior to entering into certain transactions, including, but not limited to, mergers with or acquisitions of other financial institutions. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of depositors and, for purposes of the FDIC, the protection of the insurance fund. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement
activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such regulatory requirements and policies, whether by the Massachusetts legislature, the FDIC or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on Hampden Bancorp, Hampden Bank and their operations. Hampden Bank is a member of the FHLB, and regulated as a bank holding company by the Federal Reserve Board.




Certain regulatory requirements applicable to Hampden Bank and to Hampden Bancorp, Inc. are referred to below. The description of statutory provisions and regulations applicable to savings institutions and their holding companies set forth below does not purport
to be a complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effects on Hampden Bank and Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual laws and regulations.




Massachusetts Bank Regulation





General.    As a Massachusetts-chartered savings bank, Hampden Bank is subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks and
to various Massachusetts statutes and regulations which govern, among other things, investment powers, lending and deposit-taking activities, borrowings, maintenance of retained earnings and reserve accounts, distribution of earnings and payment of dividends. In addition, Hampden Bank is subject to Massachusetts consumer protection and civil rights laws and regulations. The approval of the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks or the Board of Bank Incorporation is required for a Massachusetts-chartered bank to
establish or close branches, merge with other financial institutions, organize a holding company, issue stock and undertake certain other activities.




In response to Massachusetts laws enacted in the last few years, the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks adopted rules that generally allow Massachusetts banks to engage in activities permissible for federally chartered banks or banks chartered
by another state. The Commissioner also has adopted procedures reducing regulatory burdens and expense and expediting branching by well-capitalized and well-managed banks.




Investment Activities.    In general, Massachusetts-chartered savings banks may invest in preferred and common stock of any corporation organized under the laws of the United States
or any state provided such investments do not involve control of any corporation and do not, in the aggregate, exceed 4.0% of the bank’s deposits. Massachusetts-chartered savings banks may in addition invest an amount equal to 1.0% of their deposits in stocks of Massachusetts corporations or companies with substantial employment in Massachusetts which have pledged to the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks that such monies will be used for further development within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. However,
these powers are constrained by federal law. See “—Federal Bank Regulation—Investment Activities” for federal restrictions on equity investments.





Loans-to-One-Borrower Limitations.    Massachusetts banking law grants broad lending authority. However, with certain limited exceptions, total obligations of one borrower
to a bank may not exceed 20.0% of the total of the bank’s capital.





Loans to a Bank’s Insiders.    The Massachusetts banking laws prohibit any executive officer, director or trustee from borrowing, otherwise becoming indebted, or
becoming liable for a loan or other extension of credit by such bank to any other person, except for any of the following loans or extensions of credit: (i) loans or extension of credit, secured or unsecured, to an officer of the bank in an amount not exceeding $100,000; (ii) loans or extensions of credit intended or secured for educational purposes to an officer of the bank in an amount not exceeding $200,000; (iii) loans or extensions of credit secured by a mortgage on residential real estate
to be occupied in whole or in part by the officer to whom the loan or extension of credit is made, in an amount not exceeding $750,000; and (iv) loans or extensions of credit to a director or trustee of the bank who is not also an officer of the bank in an amount permissible under the bank’s loan to one borrower limit.




21
 Table of Contents


The loans listed above require approval of the majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors, excluding any member involved in the loan or extension of credit. No such loan or extension of credit may be granted with an interest rate or other terms
that are preferential in comparison to loans granted to persons not affiliated with the savings bank.




Dividends.    A Massachusetts stock bank may declare from net profits cash dividends not more frequently than quarterly and non-cash dividends at any time. No dividends
may be declared, credited or paid if the bank’s capital stock is impaired. 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.




Regulatory Enforcement Authority.    Any Massachusetts bank that does not operate in accordance with the regulations, policies and directives of the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks
may be subject to sanctions for non-compliance, including seizure of the property and business of the bank and suspension or revocation of its charter. The Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks may under certain circumstances suspend or remove officers or directors who have violated the law, conducted the bank’s business in a manner which is unsafe, unsound or contrary to the depositors interests or been negligent in the performance of their duties. In addition, upon finding that a bank has engaged in an
unfair or deceptive act or practice, the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks may issue an order to cease and desist and impose a fine on the bank concerned. Finally, Massachusetts consumer protection and civil rights statutes applicable to Hampden Bank permit private individual and class action law suits and provide for the rescission of consumer transactions, including loans, and the recovery of statutory and punitive damage and attorney’s fees in the case of certain violations of those statutes.




Depositors Insurance Fund.    All Massachusetts-chartered savings banks are required to be members of the DIF, a corporation that insures savings bank deposits in excess of federal
deposit insurance coverage. The DIF is authorized to charge savings banks an annual assessment of up to 1/50th of 1.0% of a savings bank’s deposit balances in excess of amounts insured by the FDIC.




Federal Bank Regulation




Capital Requirements.    Under FDIC regulations, federally insured state-chartered banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System (“state non-member banks”), such
as Hampden Bank, are required to comply with minimum leverage capital requirements. For an institution determined by the FDIC to not be anticipating or experiencing significant growth and to be, in general, a strong banking organization rated composite 1 under Uniform Financial Institutions Ranking System established by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, the minimum capital leverage requirement is a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3.0%. For all other institutions, the minimum leverage
capital ratio is not less than 4.0%. Tier 1 capital is the sum of common stockholder’s equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock (including any related retained earnings) and minority investments in certain subsidiaries, less intangible assets (except for certain servicing rights and credit card relationships) and certain other specified items.




The FDIC regulations require state non-member banks to maintain certain levels of regulatory capital in relation to regulatory risk-weighted assets. The ratio of regulatory capital to regulatory risk-weighted assets is referred to as a bank’s “risk-based capital ratio.”
Risk-based capital ratios are determined by allocating assets and specified off-balance sheet items (including recourse obligations, direct credit substitutes and residual interests) to four risk-weighted categories ranging from 0.0% to 100.0%, with higher levels of capital being required for the categories perceived as representing greater risk. For example, under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s risk-weighting system, cash and securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government
are given a 0.0% risk weight, loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties generally have a 50.0% risk weight, and commercial loans have a risk weighting of 100.0%.




State non-member banks must maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, of which at least one-half must be Tier 1 capital. Total capital consists of Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 or supplementary capital items, which include allowances
for loan losses in an amount of up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, cumulative preferred stock and certain other capital instruments, and a portion of the net unrealized gain on equity securities. The includable amount of Tier 2 capital cannot exceed the amount of the institution’s Tier 1 capital. Banks that engage in specified levels of trading activities are subject to adjustments in their risk based capital calculation to ensure the maintenance of sufficient capital to support market risk.




The FDIC Improvement Act required each federal banking agency to revise its risk-based capital standards for insured institutions to ensure that those standards take adequate account of interest-rate risk, concentration of credit risk, and the risk of nontraditional activities,
as well as to reflect the actual performance and expected risk of loss on multi- family residential loans. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, along with the other federal banking agencies, has adopted a regulation providing that the agencies will take into account the exposure of a bank’s capital and economic value to changes in interest rate risk in assessing a bank’s capital adequacy. The FDIC also has authority
to establish individual minimum capital requirements in appropriate cases upon determination that an institution’s capital level is, or is likely to become, inadequate in light of the particular circumstances.

U.S. Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program.On October 3, 2008, Congress passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which provides the United States Secretary of the Treasury with the broad authority to implement certain actions
to help restore stability and liquidity to U.S. markets.  One of the provisions resulting from the Act is the Treasury Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”), which provides direct equity investment in perpetual preferred stock (or, in the case of S-Corporation, investment in debt securities) by the Treasury in qualified financial institutions.  The program is voluntary and requires an institution to comply with a number of restrictions and provisions, including limits on executive compensation,
stock redemptions and declaration of dividends.  The CPP provides for a minimum investment of 1 percent of Total Risk-Weighted Assets, with a maximum investment equal to the lesser of 3 percent of Total Risk-Weighted Assets or $25 billion.  Participation in the program is not automatic and is subject to approval by the Treasury.  Hampden Bank has elected not to participate in the CPP.




Standards for Safety and Soundness.    As required by statute, the federal banking agencies adopted final regulations and Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safety and Soundness
to implement safety and soundness standards. The guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. The guidelines address internal controls and information systems, internal audit system, credit underwriting, loan documentation, interest rate exposure, asset growth, asset quality, earnings and compensation, fees and benefits. Most recently, the agencies have established
standards for safeguarding customer information. If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard.




Investment Activities.    Since the enactment of the FDIC Improvement Act, all state-chartered Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured banks, including savings banks, have generally
been limited in their investment activities to principal and equity investments of the type and in the amount authorized for national banks, notwithstanding state law. FDIC Improvement Act and the FDIC regulations permit exceptions to these limitations. For example, state chartered banks may, with FDIC approval, continue to exercise state authority to invest in common or preferred stocks listed on a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market and in the shares of an investment company registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The maximum permissible investment is 100.0% of Tier 1 Capital, as specified by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s regulations, or the maximum amount permitted by Massachusetts law, whichever is less. Hampden Bank received approval from the FDIC to retain and acquire such equity instruments equal to the lesser of 100% of Hampden Banks’ Tier 1 capital or the maximum permissible amount specified by Massachusetts law. Any such grandfathered
authority may be terminated upon the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s determination that such investments pose a safety and soundness risk or upon the occurrence of certain events such as the savings bank’s conversion to a different charter. In addition, the FDIC is authorized to permit such institutions to engage in state authorized activities or investments not permissible for national banks (other than non-subsidiary equity investments) if they meet all applicable capital requirements and
it is determined that such activities or investments do not pose a significant risk to Hampden Bank Insurance Fund. The FDIC has adopted regulations governing the procedures for institutions seeking approval to engage in such activities or investments. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 specifies that a non-member bank may control a subsidiary that engages in activities as principal that would only be permitted for a national bank to conduct in a “financial subsidiary” if a bank meets specified conditions
and deducts its investment in the subsidiary for regulatory capital purposes.




Interstate Banking and Branching.    The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, or the Interstate Banking Act, permits adequately capitalized bank holding
companies to acquire banks in any state subject to specified concentration limits and other conditions. The Interstate Banking Act also authorizes the interstate merger of banks. In addition, among other things, the Interstate Banking Act permits banks to establish new branches on an interstate basis provided that such action is specifically authorized by the law of the host state.




Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action.    Federal law requires, among other things, that federal bank regulatory authorities take “prompt corrective action” with respect to
banks that do not meet minimum capital requirements. For these purposes, the law establishes five capital categories: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. As of June 30, 2009, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized Hampden Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed Hampden
Bank’s category.




The FDIC has adopted regulations to implement the prompt corrective action legislation. An institution is deemed to be “well capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or
greater and a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater. An institution is “adequately capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or greater, and generally a leverage ratio of 4.0% or greater. An institution is “undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4.0%, or generally a leverage ratio of less than 4.0%. An
institution is deemed to be “significantly undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3.0%, or a leverage ratio of less than 3.0%. An institution is considered to be “critically undercapitalized” if it has a ratio of tangible equity (as defined in the regulations) to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%.

“Undercapitalized” banks must adhere to growth, capital distribution (including dividend) and other limitations and are required to submit a capital restoration plan. A bank’s compliance with
such a plan is required to be guaranteed by any company that controls the undercapitalized institution in an amount equal to the lesser of 5.0% of the institution’s total assets when deemed undercapitalized or the amount necessary to achieve the status of adequately capitalized. If an “undercapitalized” bank fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is ”significantly undercapitalized.” “Significantly undercapitalized” banks must comply with one or more
of a number of additional restrictions, including but not limited to an order by the FDIC to sell sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total assets, cease receipt of deposits from correspondent banks or dismiss directors or officers, and restrictions on interest rates paid on deposits, compensation of executive officers and capital distributions by the parent holding company. “Critically undercapitalized” institutions are subject to additional measures including,
subject to a narrow exception, the appointment of a receiver or conservator within 270 days after it obtains such status.




Transaction with Affiliates and Regulation W of the Federal Reserve Regulations.    Transactions between banks and their affiliates are governed by Sections 23A and 23B of the
Federal Reserve Act. An affiliate of a bank is any company or entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the bank. In a holding company context, the parent bank holding company and any companies which are controlled by such parent holding company are affiliates of the bank. Generally, Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation W (i) limit the extent to which the bank or its subsidiaries may engage in “covered transactions” with any one affiliate
to an amount equal to 10.0% of such institution’s capital stock and retained earnings, and contain an aggregate limit on all such transactions with all affiliates to an amount equal to 20.0% of such institution’s capital stock and retained earnings and (ii) require that all such transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable, to the institution or subsidiary as those provided to a non-affiliate. The term “covered transaction” includes the making of loans,
purchase of assets, issuance of a guarantee and other similar transactions. In addition, loans or other extensions of credit by the financial institution to the affiliate are required to be collateralized in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act.




The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act amended several provisions of Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. The amendments provide that so-called “financial subsidiaries” of banks are treated as affiliates for purposes of Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act,
but the amendment provides that (i) the 10.0% capital limit on transactions between the bank and such financial subsidiary as an affiliate is not applicable, and (ii) the investment by the bank in the financial subsidiary does not include retained earnings in the financial subsidiary. Certain anti-evasion provisions have been included that relate to the relationship between any financial subsidiary of a bank and sister companies of the bank: (1) any purchase of, or investment in, the securities
of a financial subsidiary by any affiliate of the parent bank is considered a purchase or investment by the bank; or (2) if the Federal Reserve Board determines that such treatment is necessary, any loan made by an affiliate of the parent bank to the financial subsidiary is to be considered a loan made by the parent bank.




The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 generally prohibits loans by a company to its executive officers and directors. However, the law contains a specific exception for loans by a depository institution to its executive officers and directors in compliance with federal banking laws.
Under such laws, Hampden Bank’s authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors and 10% shareholders (“Insiders”) of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and Hampden Bank, as well as entities such persons control, is limited. The law limits both the individual and aggregate amount of loans Hampden Bank may make to Insiders based, in part, on Hampden Bank’s capital position and requires certain board approval procedures to be followed. Such loans are required to be made on terms substantially
the same as those offered to unaffiliated individuals and not involve more than the normal risk of repayment. There is an exception for loans made pursuant to a benefit or compensation program that is widely available to all employees of the institution and does not give preference to Insiders over other employees. Loans to executive officers are further limited by specific categories.





Enforcement.    The FDIC has extensive enforcement authority over insured state savings banks, including Hampden Bank. This enforcement authority includes, among other
things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, issue cease and desist orders and remove directors and officers. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated in response to violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. The FDIC has authority under federal law to appoint a conservator or receiver for an insured bank under limited circumstances. The FDIC is required, with certain exceptions, to appoint a receiver or conservator for an insured state non-member bank if that bank
was “critically undercapitalized” on average during the calendar quarter beginning 270 days after the date on which the institution became “critically undercapitalized.” The FDIC may also appoint itself as conservator or receiver for an insured state non-member institution under specific circumstances on the basis of the institution’s financial condition or upon the occurrence of other events, including:
(1) insolvency; (2) substantial dissipation of assets or earnings through violations of law or unsafe or unsound practices; (3) existence of an unsafe or unsound condition to transact business; and (4) insufficient capital, or the incurring of losses that will deplete substantially all of the institution’s capital with no reasonable prospect of replenishment without federal assistance.

Deposit Insurance.  Hampden Bank is a member of the Deposit Insurance Fund, which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).  Deposit accounts
in Hampden Bank are insured by the FDIC, generally up to a maximum of $100,000 per separately insured depositor and up to a maximum of $250,000 for self-directed retirement accounts.  However, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 increased the deposit insurance available on all accounts to $250,000, effective until December 31, 2009.  In addition, as a Massachusetts-chartered savings bank, Hampden Bank is required to be member of the Massachusetts Depositors Insurance Fund, a corporation
that insures savings bank deposits in excess of federal deposit insurance coverage.





The FDIC imposes an assessment against financial institutions for deposit insurance.  This assessment is based on the risk category of the institution and currently ranges from 5 to 43 basis points of the institution’s deposits.  Federal law requires that the designated reserve ratio for the deposit insurance
fund to be established by the FDIC at 1.15% to 1.50% of estimated insured deposits.  If this reserve ratio drops below 1.15% as the FDIC expects that it will do so within six months, the FDIC must, within 90 days, establish and implement a plan to restore the designated reserve ratio to 1.15% of estimated insured deposits within five years (absent extraordinary circumstances).





Recent bank failures coupled with deteriorating economic conditions have significantly reduced the deposits insurance fund’s reserve ratio.  As of June 30, 2008, the designated reserve ratio was 1.01% of estimated insured deposits at March 31, 2008.  As a result of this reduced reserve ratio,
on October 16, 2008, the FDIC published a proposed rule that would restore the reserve ratio to its required level of 1.15 percent within five years.  On February 27, 2009, the FDIC took action to extent the restoration plan horizon to seven years.





The amended restoration plan was accompanied by a final rule that sets assessment rates and makes adjustments that improve how the assessment system differentiates for risk.  Currently, most banks are in the best risk category and pay anywhere from 12 to 14 cents per $100 of deposits for insurance.  Under
the final rule, banks in this category will pay initial base rates ranging from 12 to 16 cents per $100 on an annual basis, beginning on April 1, 2009.





The FDIC also adopted an interim rule imposing an emergency special assessment of 20 basis points on the industry on June 30, 2009.  The assessment is to be collected on September 30, 2009.  The cost of this special assessment is anticipated to be up to $238,000.  The interim rule would
also permit the FDIC to impose an emergency special assessment after June 30, 2009, of up to 10 basis points if necessary to maintain public confidence in federal deposit insurance.  While the interim rule imposing the special assessment is final, the FDIC has indicated a willingness to decrease the special assessment under certain circumstances concerning the overall financial health of the insurance fund.  No determination has been made to date to decrease the amount of the special assessment.





The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), temporarily raises the basic limit on federal deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor until December 31, 2009.  Additionally, the FDIC has implemented a temporary program to provide deposit insurance for the
full amount of most non-interest bearing transaction accounts through December 31, 2009.  The FDIC implemented the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLG Program”) on November 21, 2008.  The TLG Program guarantees newly issued senior secured debt of banks, thrifts and certain holding companies.  Although the Company had no outstanding debt guaranteed under the TLG program at December 31, 2008, the Company is eligible to issue guaranteed debt under the TLG Program.





Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed bys the FDIC.  We do not know of any
practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of Hampden Bank’s deposit insurance.





In addition to the FDIC assessments, the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) is authorized to impose and collect, with the approval of the FDIC, assessments for anticipated payments, issuance costs and custodial fees on bonds issued by the FICO in the 1980s to recapitalize the former Federal Savings and Loan
Insurance Corporation.  The bonds issued by the FICO are due to mature in 2017 through 2019.  For the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the annualized FICO assessment was equal to 1.10 basis points for each $100 in domestic deposits maintained at an institution.





FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.  On October 14, 2008, the FDIC announced a new program - the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLGP”).  This program has two components.  One guarantees
newly issued senior unsecured debt of the participating organizations, up to certain limits established for each institution, issued between October 14, 2008 and June 30, 2009.  On February 10, 2009, the FDIC stated that the June 30, 2009 deadline for issuing guaranteed debt would be extended to October 31, 2009, for an additional premium.  The FDIC will pay the unpaid principal and interest on an FDIC-guaranteed
debt instrument upon the uncured failure of the participating entity to make a timely payment or principal or interest in accordance with the terms of the instrument.  The guarantee will remain in effect until June 30, 2012.  In return for the FDIC’s guarantee, participating institutions will pay the FDIC a fee based on the amount and maturity of the debt.  Hampden Bank has opted not to participate in this component of the TLPG.

The other component of the program provides full FDIC insurance coverage for non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts, regardless of dollar amount, until December 31, 2009.  An annualized 10 basis point assessment on balances in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts that exceed the existing deposit
insurance limit of $250,000 will be assessed on a quarterly basis to insured depository institutions have not opted out of this component of the TLGP.  Because Hampden Bank’s deposits in excess of FDIC limits are already insured under the Massachusetts Depositors Insurance Fund, Hampden Bank has opted not to participate in this component of the TLPG.




Privacy Regulations.    Pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the FDIC has published final regulations implementing the privacy protection provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act. The regulations generally require that Hampden Bank disclose its privacy policy, including identifying with whom it shares a customer’s “non-public personal information,” to customers at the time of establishing the customer relationship and annually thereafter. In addition, Hampden Bank is required to provide its customers with the ability to “opt-out” of having their personal information shared with unaffiliated third parties and not to disclose account numbers or access codes
to non-affiliated third parties for marketing purposes. Hampden Bank currently has a privacy protection policy in place and believes that such policy is in compliance with the regulations.




Customer Information Security.    The FDIC and other bank regulatory agencies have adopted guidelines for establishing standards for safeguarding nonpublic personal information about
customers that implement provisions of the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (“Information Security Guidelines”). Among other things, the Information Security Guidelines require each financial institution, under the supervision and ongoing oversight of its Board of Directors or an appropriate committee thereof, to develop, implement and maintain a comprehensive written information security program designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information, to protect against any anticipated
threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information and to protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer. In April 2005, the FDIC and other bank regulatory agencies issued further guidance for the establishment of these Information Security Guidelines, requiring financial institutions to develop and implement response programs designed to address incidents of unauthorized access to sensitive customer
information maintained by the financial institution or its service provider, including customer notification procedures. Hampden Bank currently has Information Security Guidelines in place and believes that such guidelines are in compliance with the regulations.




Community Reinvestment Act.    Under the Community Reinvestment Act (the “CRA”) as amended and as implemented by FDIC regulations, a bank has a continuing and affirmative
obligation, consistent with its safe and sound operation, to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution’s discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the CRA. The CRA does require the FDIC, in connection with its examination of a
bank, to assess the institution’s record of meeting the credit needs of its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of certain applications by such institution, including applications to acquire branches and other financial institutions. The CRA requires the FDIC to provide a written evaluation of an institution’s CRA performance utilizing a four-tiered descriptive rating system. Hampden Bank’s
latest FDIC CRA rating was “Outstanding.”




Massachusetts has its own statutory counterpart to the CRA which is also applicable to Hampden Bank. The Massachusetts version is generally similar to the CRA but utilizes a five-tiered descriptive rating system. Massachusetts law requires the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks to
consider, but not be limited to, a bank’s record of performance under Massachusetts law in considering any application by the bank to establish a branch or other deposit- taking facility, to relocate an office or to merge or consolidate with or acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of any other banking institution. Hampden Bank’s most recent rating under Massachusetts law was “Outstanding.”




Consumer Protection and Fair Lending Regulations.    Massachusetts savings banks are subject to a variety of federal and Massachusetts statutes and regulations that are intended to
protect consumers and prohibit discrimination in the granting of credit. These statutes and regulations provide for a range of sanctions for non-compliance with their terms, including imposition of administrative fines and remedial orders, and referral to the Attorney General for prosecution of a civil action for actual and punitive damages and injunctive relief. Certain of these statutes authorize private individual and class action lawsuits and the award of actual, statutory and punitive damages and attorneys’
fees for certain types of violations.

Anti-Money Laundering




The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (referred to as the “USA PATRIOT Act”) significantly expands the responsibilities of financial institutions, including savings and banks, in
preventing the use of the U.S. financial system to fund terrorist activities. Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act provides for a significant overhaul of the U.S. anti-money laundering regime. Among other provisions, Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act requires financial institutions operating in the United States to develop new anti-money laundering compliance programs, due diligence policies and controls to ensure the detection and reporting of money laundering. Such required compliance programs are intended to supplement
existing compliance requirements, also applicable to financial institutions, under the Bank Secrecy Act and the Office of Foreign Assets Control Regulations.




Other Regulations




Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by Hampden Bank are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. Hampden Bank’s loan operations are also subject to state and federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:




•Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves;





•Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit;





•Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1978, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies;





• Massachusetts Debt Collection Regulations, establishing standards, by defining unfair or deceptive acts or practices, for the collection of debts from persons within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts;





• General Laws of Massachusetts, Chapter 167E, which governs Hampden Bank’s lending powers; and





•Rules and regulations of the various federal and state agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal and state laws.




The deposit operations of Hampden Bank also are subject to, among others, the:




• Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records;





•Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E promulgated thereunder, as well as Chapter 167B of the General Laws of Massachusetts, which govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers’ rights and liabilities arising from the
use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services;





• Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (also known as “Check 21”), which gives “substitute checks,” such as digital check images and copies made from that image, the same legal standing as the original paper check; and





• General Laws of Massachusetts, Chapter 167D, which governs the Hampden Bank’s deposit powers.




In many cases, Massachusetts has similar statutes to those under federal law that will be applicable to Hampden Bank.




Federal Reserve System




The Federal Reserve Board regulations require depository institutions to maintain non-interest-earning reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily NOW and regular checking accounts). The Federal Reserve Board regulations generally require that reserves be maintained against aggregate transaction accounts
as follows: for that portion of transaction accounts aggregating $43.9 million or less (which may be adjusted by the Federal Reserve Board) the reserve requirement is 3.0%; and for amounts greater than $43.9 million, the reserve requirement is $1,038,000 plus 10.0% (which may be adjusted by the Federal Reserve Board between 8.0% and 14.0%), of the amount in excess of $43.9 million. The first $9.3 million of otherwise reservable
balances (which may be adjusted by the Federal Reserve Board) are exempted from the reserve requirements. Hampden Bank is in compliance with these requirements.

Federal Home Loan Bank System





Hampden Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. Members of the Federal Home Loan Bank are required
to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank. Hampden Bank was in compliance with this requirement with an investment in stock of the FHLB at June 30, 2009 of $5.2 million.





The Federal Home Loan Banks are required to provide funds for certain purposes including the resolution of insolvent thrifts in the late 1980s and to contributing funds for affordable housing programs. These requirements could reduce the amount of dividends that
the Federal Home Loan Banks pay to their members and result in the Federal Home Loan Banks imposing a higher rate of interest on advances to their members. If dividends were reduced, or interest on future Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased, a member bank affected by such reduction or increase would likely experience a reduction in its net interest income. Recent legislation has changed the structure of the Federal Home Loan Banks’ funding obligations for insolvent thrifts, revised the capital structure
of the Federal Home Loan Banks and implemented entirely voluntary membership for Federal Home Loan Banks. On February 26, 2009 the Federal Home Loan Bank’s board of directors (i) announced that they were suspending dividends for the remainder of 2009 and (ii) issued a moratorium on the redemption of FHLB stock.Further, there can be no assurance that the impact of recent or future legislation on the Federal Home Loan
Banks also will not cause a decrease in the value of the FHLB stock held by Hampden Bank.


Holding Company Regulation




Hampden Bancorp, Inc. is subject to examination, regulation, and periodic reporting under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, as administered by the Federal Reserve Board. Hampden Bancorp, Inc. is required to obtain prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board to acquire all, or substantially all, of the assets of any bank
or holding company. Prior Federal Reserve Board approval would be required for Hampden Bancorp, Inc. to acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting securities of any bank or holding company if, after such acquisition, it would, directly or indirectly, own or control more than 5% of any class of voting shares of the bank or bank holding company. In addition to the approval of the Federal Reserve Board, before any bank acquisition can be completed, prior approval must also be required to be obtained
from other agencies having supervisory jurisdiction over the bank to be acquired.




A bank holding company is generally prohibited from engaging in, or acquiring, direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting securities of any company engaged in non-banking activities. One of the principal exceptions to this prohibition is for activities found by the
Federal Reserve Board to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Some of the principal activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined by regulation to be so closely related to banking are: (i) making or servicing loans; (ii) performing certain data processing services; (iii) providing discount brokerage services; (iv) acting as fiduciary, investment or financial advisor; (v) leasing personal or real property; (vi) making
investments in corporations or projects designed primarily to promote community welfare; and (vii) acquiring a savings and loan association.




The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 authorizes a bank holding company that meets specified conditions, including being “well capitalized” and “well managed,” to opt to become a “financial holding company” and thereby engage in a
broader array of financial activities than previously permitted. Such activities can include insurance underwriting and investment banking.





Hampden Bancorp, Inc. is subject to the Federal Reserve Board’s capital adequacy guidelines for bank holding companies (on a consolidated basis) substantially similar to those of the FDIC for Hampden Bank.




A bank holding company is generally required to give the Federal Reserve Board prior written notice of any purchase or redemption of then outstanding equity securities if the gross consideration for the purchase or redemption, when combined with the net consideration paid for
all such purchases or redemptions during the preceding 12 months, is equal to 10% or more of the company’s consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve Board may disapprove such a purchase or redemption if it determines that the proposal would constitute an unsafe and unsound practice, or would violate any law, regulation, Federal Reserve Board order or directive, or any condition imposed by, or written agreement with, the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted an exception to
this approval requirement for well-capitalized bank holding companies that meet certain other conditions.




The Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement regarding the payment of dividends by bank holding companies. In general, the Federal Reserve Board’s policies provide that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings
retention by the bank holding company appears consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition.




28
 Table of Contents




The Federal Reserve Board’s policies also require that a bank holding company serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary banks by standing ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to those banks during periods of financial stress or adversity and by maintaining the financial flexibility and
capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks where necessary. Under the prompt corrective action laws, the ability of a bank holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary bank becomes undercapitalized. These regulatory policies could affect the ability of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. to pay dividends or otherwise engage in capital distributions.




Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, depository institutions are liable to the FDIC for losses suffered or anticipated by the FDIC in connection with the default of a commonly controlled depository institution or any assistance provided by the FDIC to such an institution in
danger of default. This law would have potential applicability if Hampden Bancorp, Inc. ever held as a separate subsidiary a depository institution in addition to Hampden Bank.




Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and Hampden Bank will be affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of various agencies of the United States Government, including the Federal Reserve System. In view of changing conditions in the national economy and in the money markets, it is impossible
for management to accurately predict future changes in monetary policy or the effect of such changes on the business or financial condition of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. or Hampden Bank.




The status of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. as a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act will not exempt it from certain federal and state laws and regulations applicable to
corporations generally, including, without limitation, certain provisions of the federal securities laws.




Massachusetts Holding Company Regulation.    Under the Massachusetts banking laws, a company owning or controlling two or more banking institutions, including a savings bank,
is regulated as a bank holding company. The term “company” is defined by the Massachusetts banking laws similarly to the definition of “company” under the Bank Holding Company Act. Each Massachusetts bank holding company: (i) must obtain the approval of the Massachusetts Board of Bank Incorporation before engaging in certain transactions, such as the acquisition of more than 5% of the voting stock of another banking institution; (ii) must register, and file reports, with the
Division; and (iii) is subject to examination by the Division. Hampden Bancorp, Inc. would become a Massachusetts bank holding company if it acquires a second banking institution and holds and operates it separately from Hampden Bank.




Federal Securities Laws.    Our common stock is registered with the SEC under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. We are subject to information, proxy solicitation, insider
trading restrictions, and other requirements under the Exchange Act.




The Sarbanes-Oxley Act.    The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely
disclosure of corporate information. As directed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Hampden Bancorp, Inc.’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer each are required to certify that Hampden Bancorp, Inc.’s quarterly and annual reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The rules adopted by the SEC under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have several requirements, including having these officers certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and
regularly evaluating the effectiveness of our internal controls; they have made certain disclosures to our auditors and the Audit Committee about our internal controls; and they have included information in our quarterly and annual reports about their evaluation and whether there have been significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls.




FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION







Federal Income Taxation


General.    The
Company reports its income using the accrual method of accounting. The federal income tax laws apply to the Company in the same manner as to other corporations with some exceptions, including the reserve for bad debts discussed below. The following discussion of tax matters is intended only as a summary and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to the Company. Hampden Bank currently files a consolidated federal income tax return with Hampden Bancorp, Inc. Hampden Bank's
federal income tax returns have been either audited or closed under the statute of limitations through October 31, 2005. For its 2008 tax year, Hampden Bank's maximum federal income tax rate was 34%.




Bad Debt Reserves.    For taxable years beginning before January 1, 1996, thrift institutions that qualified under certain definitional tests and other conditions
of the Internal Revenue Code were permitted to use certain favorable provisions to calculate their deductions from taxable income for annual additions to their bad debt reserve. A reserve could be established for bad debts on qualifying real property loans, generally secured by interests in real property improved or to be improved, under the percentage of taxable income method or the experience method. The reserve for nonqualifying loans was computed using the experience method. Federal legislation enacted in
1996 repealed the reserve method of accounting for bad debts and the percentage of taxable income method for tax years beginning after 1995 and required savings institutions to recapture or take into income certain portions of their accumulated bad debt reserves.




29
 Table of Contents




However, those bad debt reserves accumulated prior to 1988 ("Base Year Reserves") were not required to be recaptured unless the savings institution failed certain tests. Approximately $1.5 million of Hampden Bank's accumulated bad debt reserves would not be recaptured into taxable income unless Hampden Bank makes a "non-dividend distribution"
to Hampden Bancorp, Inc. as described below.




Distributions.    If Hampden Bank makes "non-dividend distributions" to Hampden Bancorp, Inc., the distributions will be considered to have been made from Hampden Bank's unrecaptured
tax bad debt reserves, including the balance of its Base Year Reserves as of October 31, 1987, to the extent of the "non-dividend distributions," and then from Hampden Bank's supplemental reserve for losses on loans, to the extent of those reserves, and an amount based on the amount distributed, but not more than the amount of those reserves, will be included in Hampden Bank's taxable income. Non-dividend distributions include distributions in excess of Hampden Bank's current and accumulated earnings and
profits, as calculated for federal income tax purposes, distributions in redemption of stock and distributions in partial or complete liquidation. Dividends paid out of Hampden Bank's current or accumulated earnings and profits will not be so included in Hampden Bancorp, Inc.'s taxable income.




The amount of additional taxable income triggered by a non-dividend is an amount that, when reduced by the tax attributable to the income, is equal to the amount of the distribution. Therefore, if Hampden Bank makes a non-dividend distribution to Hampden Bancorp, Inc. approximately
one and one-half times the amount of the distribution not in excess of the amount of the reserves would be includable in income for federal income tax purposes, assuming a 34% federal corporate income tax rate. Hampden Bank does not intend to pay dividends that would result in a recapture of any portion of its bad debt reserves.




State Taxation




Prior to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, financial institutions in Massachusetts were not allowed to file consolidated income tax returns. Instead, each entity in the consolidated group files a separate annual income tax return. The Massachusetts excise
tax rate for savings banks is currently 10.5% of federal taxable income, adjusted for certain items. Taxable income includes gross income as defined under the Internal Revenue Code, plus interest from bonds, notes and evidences of indebtedness of any state, including Massachusetts, less deductions, but not the credits, allowable under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, except for those deductions relating to dividends received and income or franchise taxes imposed by a state or political subdivision.
Carryforwards and carrybacks of net operating losses and capital losses are not allowed.





On July 3, 2008, the state of Massachusetts enacted a law that included reducing the tax rate on net income applicable to financial institutions. As a result, the rate will drop from the current rate of 10.5% to 10.0% for tax years beginning on or after January 1,
2010, 9.5% for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, and to 9.0% for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2012 and thereafter. Also, for the years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, the new law requires all unitary members of a consolidated group, except those with Massachusetts Security Corporation status, to file a combined corporation excise tax return. The Company continues to analyze the impact of this law change, however, it is not expected to have a material effect on the financial
statements.





Hampden Bank's state tax returns, as well as those of its subsidiaries, are not currently under audit.




A financial institution or business corporation is generally entitled to special tax treatment as a "security corporation" under Massachusetts law provided that: (a) its activities are limited to buying, selling, dealing in or holding securities on its own behalf
and not as a broker; and (b) it has applied for, and received, classification as a "security corporation" by the Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. A security corporation that is also a bank holding company under the Internal Revenue Code must pay a tax equal to 0.33% of its gross income. A security corporation that is not a bank holding company under the Internal Revenue Code must pay a tax equal to 1.32% of its gross income. Hampden Bancorp, Inc. requested to be classified as a security
corporation and was approved for the taxable year ended October 31, 2007. The classification is in effect until revoked by the Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Revenue in writing or revoked by conducting any activities deemed impermissible under the governing statutes and the various regulations, directives, letter rulings and administrative pronouncements issued by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. In order to qualify as a security corporation, the Company established a subsidiary for the
purpose of making the loan to the employee stock ownership plan, because making such a loan directly would disqualify it from classification as a security corporation.





Delaware Taxation. As a Delaware holding company not earning income in Delaware, the Company is exempt from Delaware corporate income tax but is required to file an annual report with and
pay an annual franchise tax to the State of Delaware.

Risk Factors







The following risk factors are relevant to our future results and financial success, and should be read with care.





Our continued emphasis on commercial lending may expose us to increased lending risks.




At June 30, 2009, our loan portfolio consisted of $127.6 million, or 32.9%, of commercial real estate loans, $38.9 million, or 10.0%, of commercial business loans and $17.2 million, or 4.5%, of construction loans. We have grown these loan portfolios
in recent years and intend to continue to grow commercial real estate and commercial loans. Commercial real estate loans generally expose a lender to greater risk of non-payment and loss than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans because repayment of the loans often depends on the successful operation of the property. Commercial business loans expose us to additional risks because they typically are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayments from the cash flow of the borrower's business
and are secured by non-real estate collateral that may depreciate over time. In addition, because commercial business loans generally entail greater risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, we may need to increase our allowance for loan losses in the future to account for the likely increase in probable incurred credit losses associated with the growth of such loans. Also, many of our commercial borrowers have more than one loan outstanding with us. Consequently, an adverse development with respect
to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to a significantly greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to a one- to four-family residential mortgage loan. We expect to increase substantially our internal loans-to-one-borrower limit. Although we do not expect to increase our internal loans-to-one-borrower limit up to the regulatory maximum, the increased internal limit may expose us to greater risk of loss.




The Company’s investment portfolio may suffer reduced returns, material losses or other-than-temporary impairment losses.




During an economic downturn, the Company’s investment portfolio could be subject to higher risk. The value of the Company’s investment portfolio is subject to the risk that certain investments may default or become impaired due to a deterioration in the
financial condition of one or more issuers of the securities held in the Company’s portfolio, or due to a deterioration in the financial condition of an issuer that guarantees an issuer’s payments of such investments. Such defaults and impairments could reduce the Company’s net investment income and result in realized investment losses.




The Company’s investment portfolio is also subject to increased risk as the valuation of investments is more subjective when markets are illiquid, thereby increasing the risk that the estimated fair value (i.e. the carrying amount) of the portion of the investment
portfolio that is carried at fair value as reflected in the Company’s financial statements is not reflective of prices at which actual transactions would occur.




Because of the risks set forth above, the value of the Company’s investment portfolio could decrease, the Company could experience reduced net investment income, and the Company could incur realized investment losses, which could materially and adversely affect
the Company’s results of operations, financial position and liquidity.





Additionally, the Company reviews its securities portfolio at each quarter-end reporting period to determine whether the fair value is below the current carrying value. When the fair value of any of the Company’s securities has declined below its carrying value,
the Company is required to assess whether the decline is other-than-temporary. The Company is required to write-down the value of that security through a charge to earnings if it concludes that the decline is other-than-temporary. As of June 30, 2009, the amortized cost and the fair value of the Company’s securities portfolio totaled $115.3 million and $116.1 million, respectively. Changes in the expected cash flows of these securities and/or prolonged price declines may result in the Company concluding
in future periods that the impairment of these securities is other-than-temporary, which would require a charge to earnings to write-down equity securities to their fair value or debt securities to the extent of estimated credit loss. Any charges for other-than-temporary impairment would not impact cash flow, tangible capital or liquidity.




The building of market share through our branching strategy could cause our expenses to increase faster than revenues.




We intend to continue to build market share in Hampden County, Massachusetts and surrounding areas through our branching strategy. Our business plan currently contemplates that we will establish additional branches, if market conditions are favorable. There are considerable
expenses involved in opening branches and new branches generally require a period of time to generate the necessary revenues to offset their expenses, especially in areas in which we do not have an established presence. Accordingly, any new branch can be expected to negatively impact our earnings for some period of time until the branch reaches certain economies of scale. Our expenses could be further increased if we encounter delays in the opening of any
of our new branches. Finally, we have no assurance our new branches will be successful even after they have been established.

Certain interest rate movements may hurt our earnings and asset value.




Our profitability, like that of most financial institutions, depends on primarily upon our net interest income, which is the difference between our gross interest income and interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and our interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities,
such as deposits and borrowed funds. Accordingly, our results of operations and financial condition depend largely on movements in market interest rates and our ability to manage our interest-rate-sensitive assets and liabilities in response to these movements, including our adjustable-rate mortgage loans, which represent a large portion of our residential loan portfolio. Changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.  For
further discussion of how changes in interest rates could impact us, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Risk Management."




We are also subject to reinvestment risk relating to interest rate movements. Decreases in interest rates can result in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities, as borrowers refinance to reduce their borrowing costs. Under these circumstances, we are subject
to reinvestment risk to the extent that we are not able to reinvest funds from such prepayments at rates that are comparable to the rates on the prepaid loans or securities. On the other hand, increases in interest rates on adjustable-rate mortgage loans result in larger mortgage payments due from borrowers, which could potentially increase our level of loan delinquencies and defaults.




Recent negative developments in the financial industry and the domestic and international credit markets may adversely affect our operations and results.





Negative developments in the latter half of 2007 and during 2008 in the global credit and securitization markets have resulted in uncertainty in the financial markets in general with the expectation of the general economic downturn continuing through 2009.  Loan portfolio quality has deteriorated at many
institutions.  In addition, the values of real estate collateral supporting many commercial loans and home mortgages have declined and may continue to decline.  Bank and bank holding company stock prices have been negatively affected, as has the ability of banks and bank holding companies to raise capital or borrow in the debt markets.





In response to these developments, Congress adopted the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, under which the U.S. Department of Treasury has the authority to expand up to $700 billion to assist in stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial system.  Although it was originally contemplated
that these funds would be used primarily to purchase troubled assets under the Troubled Asset Relief Program, on October 14, 2008, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced the Capital Purchase Program, under which it will purchase up to $250 billion of non-voting senior preferred shares of certain qualified financial institutions in an attempt to encourage financial institutions to build capital to increase the flow of financing to businesses and consumers and to support the economy.  In addition,
Congress has temporarily increased Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor through December 31, 2009.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has also announced the creation of the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program which is intended to strengthen confidence and encourage liquidity in financial institutions by temporarily guaranteeing newly issued senior unsecured debt of participating organizations and providing full coverage for noninterest-bearing
transaction deposit accounts (such as business checking accounts, interest-bearing transaction accounts paying 50 basis points or less and lawyers’ trust accounts), regardless of dollar amount until December 31, 2009.





The potential exists for additional federal or state laws and regulations regarding lending and funding practices and liquidity standards, and bank regulatory agencies are expected to be active in responding to concerns and trends identified in examinations, including the expected issuance of many formal enforcement
orders.  Actions taken to date, as well as potential actions, may not have the beneficial effects that are intended, particularly with respect to the extreme levels of volatility and limited credit availability currently being experienced.  In addition, new law, regulations, and other regulatory changes will increase our Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance premiums and may also increase our costs of regulatory compliance and of doing business, and other wise affect our operations.  New
laws, regulations, and other regulatory changes, along with negative developments in the financial industry and the domestic and international credit markets, may significantly affect the markets in which we do business, the markets for and value of our loans and investments, and our ongoing operations, costs and profitability.  Further, continue declines in the stock market in general, or for stock of financial institutions and their holding companies, could affect our stock performance.





Lack of consumer confidence in financial institutions may decrease our level of deposits.





Our level of deposits may be affected by lack of consumer confidence in financial institutions, which may cause depositors to withdraw deposits and invest the funds in investments perceived as being more secure.  These consumer preferences may force
us to pay higher interest rates to retain deposits and may constrain liquidity as we seek to meet funding needs caused by reduced deposit levels.

Future legislative or regulatory actions responding to perceived financial and market problems could impair our rights against borrowers.





There have been proposals made by members of Congress and others that would reduce the amount distressed borrowers are otherwise contractually obligated to pay under their mortgage loans and limit an institution’s ability to foreclose on mortgage collateral.  Were proposals such as these, or other proposals
limiting our rights as a creditor, to be implemented, we could experience increased credit losses or increased expense in pursing our remedies as a creditor.





If our investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston is impaired, our earnings and stockholders’ equity could decrease.





We own common stock of the FHLB.  We hold the FHLB common stock to qualify for membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank System and to be eligible to borrow funds under the FHLB’s advance program.  The aggregate cost and fair value of our FHLB common stock as of June 30, 2009 was $5.2 million based on its par value.  There
is no market for our FHLB common stock.





Recent published reports indicate that certain member banks of the Federal Home Loan Bank System may be subject to accounting rules and asset quality risks that could result in materially lower regulatory capital levels.  In an extreme situation, it is possible that the capitalization of a Federal Home Loan Bank, including the
FHLB could be substantially diminished or reduced to zero. Consequently, we believe that there is a risk that our investment in FHLB common stock could be deemed other-than-temporarily impaired at some time in the future, and if this occurs, it would cause our earnings and stockholders’ equity to decrease by the after-tax amount of the impairment charge.




Strong competition within our market area could hurt our profits and slow growth.




We face intense competition both in making loans and attracting and retaining deposits. Price competition for loans and deposits might result in us earning less on our loans and paying more on our deposits, which reduces net interest income. There are 16 credit unions
in Hampden County, which, as tax-exempt organizations, are able to offer higher rates on retail deposits than banks. Some of the institutions with which we compete have substantially greater resources and lending limits than we have and may offer services that we do not provide. We expect competition to increase in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry. Our profitability depends upon our continued
ability to compete successfully in our market area. For more information about our market area and the competition we face, see "Business—Market Area" and " Business—Competition."




A continued downturn in the local economy or a decline in real estate values could hurt our profits.





Nearly all of our real estate loans are secured by real estate in Hampden and Hampshire Counties. As a result of this concentration, a downturn in the local economy could cause significant increases in non-performing loans, which would hurt our profits. Additionally,
a decrease in asset quality could require additions to our allowance for loan losses through increased provisions for loan losses, which would hurt our profits. A decline in real estate values could cause some of our mortgage loans to become inadequately collateralized, which would expose us to a greater risk of loss. In addition, because we have a significant amount of commercial real estate loans, decreases in tenant occupancy may also have a negative effect on the ability of many of our borrowers to make timely
repayments on their loans, which would have an adverse impact on our earnings. For a discussion of our market area, see "Business—Market Area."




If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings could decrease.




In the event that our loan customers do not repay their loans according to the terms of the loans, and the collateral securing the repayment of these loans is insufficient to cover any remaining loan balance, we could experience significant loan losses, which could have
a material adverse effect on our operating results. We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of our loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets, if any, serving as collateral for the repayment of our loans. As of June 30, 2009, our allowance for loan losses was $3.7 million, representing 0.97% of total loans and 95.6% of nonperforming loans as of that date. In determining the amount of our allowance for loan
losses, we rely on our loan quality reviews, our experience and our evaluation of economic conditions, among other factors. If our assumptions are incorrect, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio, which may require additions to our allowance. Our allowance may need to be increased further in the future due to our emphasis on loan growth and on increasing our portfolio of commercial business and commercial real estate loans. Any material additions
to our allowance for loan losses would materially decrease our net income.

We operate in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in law and regulations.




We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination. See "Business — Regulation and Supervision". Any change in the laws or regulations applicable
to us, or in banking regulators' supervisory policies or examination procedures, whether by the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board, other state or federal regulators, the United States Congress or the Massachusetts legislature could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The FDIC may impose additional assessment fees which could negatively impact our earnings.





We are subject to regulations promulgated by the Massachusetts Division of Banks, as our chartering authority, and by the FDIC as the insurer of our deposits up to certain limits. We also belong to the Federal Home Loan Bank System and, as a member of such system,
we are subject to certain limited regulations promulgated by the FHLB. In addition, currently the Federal Reserve Board regulates and oversees Hampden Bancorp, Inc., as a bank holding company.




This regulation and supervision limits the activities in which we may engage. The purpose of regulation and supervision is primarily to protect our depositors and borrowers and, in the case of FDIC regulation, the FDIC's insurance fund. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion
in the exercise of their supervisory and enforcement powers. They may, among other things, impose restrictions on the operation of a banking institution, the classification of assets by such institution and such institution's allowance for loan losses. Regulatory and law enforcement authorities also have wide discretion and extensive enforcement powers under various consumer protection and civil rights laws, including the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Real Estate
Settlement Procedures Act and Massachusetts's deceptive acts and practices law. These laws also permit private individual and class action law suits and provide for the recovery of attorneys fees in certain instances. No assurance can be given that the foregoing regulations and supervision will not change so as to affect us adversely. Any change in such regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, or legislation, may have a material impact on our operations.




Our low return on equity may negatively affect our stock price





Net income divided by average equity, known as “return on equity,” is a ratio many investors use to compare the performance of a financial institution to its peers. Our return on equity is reduced due to the large amount of capital that we raised in our
2007 stock offering and to expenses we will incur in pursuing our growth strategies, the costs associated with being a public company and added expenses in connection with the administration of our employee stock ownership plan and our 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”). Until we can increase our net interest income and non-interest income, we expect our return on equity to be below that of our peers, which may negatively affect the value of our common stock. For the twelve months ended
June 30, 2009, our return on equity was 0.30%.




Expenses from operating as a public company and from our stock-based benefit plans will continue to adversely affect our profitability





Our non-interest expenses are impacted as a result of the financial, accounting, legal and other additional expenses usually associated with operating as a public company. We will also recognize additional annual employee compensation and benefit expenses stemming
from the shares that are purchased or granted to employees and executives under our new benefit plans. These additional expenses adversely affect our profitability. We recognize expenses for our employee stock ownership plan when shares are committed to be released to participants’ accounts and recognize expenses for restricted stock awards and stock options over the vesting period of awards made to recipients pursuant to our 2008 Plan.




Our contribution to Hampden Bank Charitable Foundation may not be fully tax deductible, which could hurt our profits





We made a contribution to the Hampden Bank Charitable Foundation, valued at $3.8 million, pre-tax, at the time of our initial public offering. The Internal Revenue Service has granted tax-exempt status to the foundation. The amount of the tax deduction related to
the foundation is limited to 10% of taxable income each year but can only be carried forward until 2011. We may not have sufficient profits to be able to use the deduction fully. As a result of our evaluation of whether it is “more likely than not” that we will be unable to use the entire deduction, we have established a valuation allowance of $810,000 related to the deferred tax asset that has been recorded for this contribution.

Item 7.
Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operation





This section is intended to help investors understand the financial performance of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries through a discussion of the factors affecting the Company’s financial condition at June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 and the Company’s
consolidated results of operations for the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007. This section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.





Forward-Looking Statements





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




Overview




Income.    The Company’s results of operations are primarily dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan and investment portfolios
and interest expense incurred on its deposits and borrowed funds. Results of operations are also affected by fee income from banking and non-banking operations, provisions for loan losses, gains (losses) on sales of loans and securities available for sale, loan servicing income and other miscellaneous income.




Expenses.    The Company's expenses consist primarily of compensation and employee benefits, office occupancy, technology, marketing, general administrative expenses and income tax
expense. In 2007, the Company made a charitable contribution to the Hampden Bank Charitable Foundation in the amount of $3.8 million.




Results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly with respect to changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable law, regulations or government
policies may materially impact the Company's financial condition and results of operations. See "Risk Factors."




Dividend. On July 28, 2009 the Company announced that its Board of Directors had declared
a cash dividend of $0.03 per common share. The dividend will be paid on August 27, 2009 to shareholders of record as of August 13, 2009.




Stock-based Compensation. In accordance with the Company’s 2008 Plan, which was approved
by shareholders on January 29, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors awarded 317,996 shares of restricted stock with a grant date fair value of $10.18 per share to directors and certain employees on January 29, 2008 and 595,000 stock options with an exercise price of $10.90 per share on April 29, 2008. The shares of common stock underlying any awards that are forfeited, cancelled, reacquired by Hampden Bancorp or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise), shares that are tendered or withheld in payment
of the exercise price of any award, and shares that are tendered or withheld for tax withholding obligations will be added back to the available shares of common stock with respect to which new awards may be granted under the plan. The 2008 Plan provides for total awards of 794,987 stock options and 317,996 shares of restricted stock. During the year ended June 30, 2009 11,741 shares of restricted stock and 30,000 shares of stock options were forfeited, leaving 11,741 shares of restricted stock and 229,987 stock
options available for future awards as of June 30, 2009.

 Table of Contents





All stock options awarded as of June 30, 2009 are for a term of ten years and will vest over a period of five years, except the Company’s options granted to its chief executive officer vest over a period of four years at 25% per year. Upon a change in control
(as defined in the plan) or the death or disability of the individual to whom options or shares were awarded, all options and restricted shares awarded immediately vest. Of the options awarded, 400,000 were incentive stock options and 195,000 were non-qualified options. Of the 595,000 options granted to date, 30,000 options have been forfeited, 116,750 options have vested, and 565,000 remain outstanding at June 30, 2009. The following table presents the fair value and related assumptions using the Black-Scholes
Option Pricing Model for stock options granted:

All of the restricted stock awards granted vest over a five year period, except the Company’s awards to its chief executive officer vest over a four year period at 25% per year. Of the 317,996 shares awarded to date, 11,741 shares have been reacquired by the Company as a result of tax withholding obligations
of certain plan participants, 65,824 shares have vested, and 240,431 remain outstanding at June 30, 2009.





For the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized compensation expense on stock options of $337,000. For restricted stock awards, the compensation expense recognized during the year ended June 30, 2009 amounted to $655,000.




Critical Accounting Policies





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





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





Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Investment Securities.




Critical Estimates.One of the significant estimates related to available for sale securities is the evaluation of investments for other-than-temporary impairment. If a decline in the fair value of an equity security
is judged to be other-than-temporary, a charge is recorded equal to the difference between the fair value and cost or amortized cost basis of the security. Following such write-down in value, the fair value of the other-than-temporarily impaired investment becomes its new cost basis.





In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses for equity securities, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment
in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. For those debt securities for which the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost and the Company does not intend to sell such security and it is likely that it will not be required to sell such security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis less any credit losses, FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 requires that the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment losses be recognized
in earnings while the noncredit component is recognized in other comprehensive loss, net of related taxes.





Judgment and Uncertainties. The evaluation of securities for impairment 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 issuer’s financial condition or future prospects, the effects of changes in interest rates or credit spreads and the expected recovery period. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation.








42
 Table of Contents


Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. If actual results are not consistent with management’s estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to an other-than-temporary impairment loss that could be
material and could have a negative impact on the company’s earnings.





Allowance for loan losses





Critical Estimates. The allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered necessary to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses that is charged against
income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, we make significant estimates and therefore, have identified the allowance as a critical accounting policy. The methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy by management because of the high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions used, and the potential for changes in the economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded allowance for loan losses.





The allowance for loan losses has been determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, under which we are required to maintain an allowance for probable losses at the balance sheet date. We are responsible for the timely and periodic
determination of the amount of the allowance required. We believe that our allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover specifically identifiable losses, as well as estimated losses inherent in our portfolio for which certain losses are probable but not specifically identifiable.







Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The analysis of the allowance for loan losses has two components: specific and general allocations. Specific allocations are made for loans determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the present value
of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. The general allocation is determined by segregating the remaining loans, by type of loan and payment history. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, changes in our underwriting standards as well as in lending policies, procedures and practices, experience and depth of management and lending staff, general economic conditions, and industry
and peer comparisons. This analysis establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general allocations. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revisions based upon changes in economic and real estate market conditions. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance for loan losses we have established which could have a material negative effect on our financial results.







On a quarterly basis, management’s Loan Review Committee reviews the current status of various loan assets in order to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In this evaluation process, specific loans are analyzed to determine their potential risk of loss. This process includes all loans, concentrating
on non-accrual and classified loans. Each impaired loan is evaluated for potential loss exposure. Any shortfall results in a recommendation of a specific allowance if the likelihood of loss is evaluated as probable. To determine the adequacy of collateral on a particular loan, an estimate of the fair market value of the collateral is based on the most current appraised value or other available information.







The results of this quarterly process are summarized by, and appropriate recommendations and loan loss allowances are approved by, the Loan Review Committee. All supporting documentation with regard to the evaluation process, loan loss experience, allowance levels and the schedules of classified loans are maintained
by the Executive Vice President. The allowance for loan loss calculation is presented to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis with recommendations on its adequacy.





Our allowance for loan losses reflects probable losses considering, among other things, the actual growth and change in composition of our loan portfolio, the level of our non-performing loans and our charge-off experience. We believe the allowance for loan losses
reflects the inherent credit risk in our portfolio.







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





Our primary lending emphasis has been the origination and purchase of residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate mortgages and commercial and industrial credits. We also originate home equity loans and home equity lines of credit. As a local community bank within a small footprint, these activities resulted
in a loan concentration in mortgages secured by real property located in western Massachusetts. Based on the composition of our loan portfolio, we believe the primary risks to loan losses are increases in interest rates, a decline in the general economy, and a decline in real estate market values in western Massachusetts. Any one or combination of these events may adversely affect our loan portfolio resulting in increased delinquencies, loan losses and future levels of loan loss provisions. As a substantial amount
of our loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate, appraisals of the underlying value of property securing loans are critical in determining the amount of the allowance required for specific loans. Assumptions for appraisal valuations are instrumental in determining the value of properties. Overly optimistic assumptions or negative changes to assumptions could significantly impact the valuation of a property securing a loan and
the related allowance determined. The assumptions supporting such appraisals are carefully reviewed by management to determine that the resulting values reasonably reflect amounts realizable on the related loans.


43
 Table of Contents


Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions.Although we believe we have established and maintained the allowance for loan losses at adequate levels, additions may be necessary if the current operating environment continues
or deteriorates. Management uses the best information available; however, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and short-term change. In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Massachusetts Department of Banking, as an integral part of their examination process, will periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments about information
available to them at the time of their examination.





Income taxes





Critical Estimates. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled.   Quarterly, management reviews
the deferred tax asset to identify any uncertainties to the collectability of the components of the deferred tax asset.





Judgment and Uncertainties. In determining the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, we use historical and forecasted operating results, based upon approved business plans, including a review of the eligible carryforward   periods, tax planning
opportunities and other relevant considerations. Management believes that the accounting estimate related to the valuation allowance is a critical accounting estimate because the underlying assumptions can change from period to period. For example, tax law changes or variances in future projected operating performance could result in a change in the valuation allowance.





Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions. Should actual factors and conditions differ materially from those used by management, the actual realization of net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities could differ materially from the amounts recorded
in the financial statements. If we were not able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, and adjustment to our deferred tax assets valuation allowance would be charged to income tax expense in the period such determination was made and could have a negative impact on the company’s earnings. In addition, if actual factors and conditions differ materially from those used by management, the Company could incur penalties and interest imposed by the Internal Revenue Service.

Average Balance Sheet and Analysis of Net Interest and Dividend Income




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




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

Comparison of Operating Results For the Years Ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008


Net Income.    Net income was $286,000, or $0.04 per fully diluted share, for the year ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $1.2 million, or $0.16 per fully diluted share, for the year
ended June 30, 2008. The primary reasons for the decrease in net income of $884,000 included an increase in provision for loan losses of $761,000, an increase in FDIC expenses of $685,000, an increase in salary and employee benefit expenses related to the 2008 Plan of $572,000, an increase in other salary and employee benefit expenses of $393,000 and a write-down for other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities of $388,000.





Net Interest Income.    The tables on pages 45 and 46
set forth the components of the Company's net interest income, yields on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the effect on net interest income arising from changes in volume and rate. There was an increase in net interest income for the year ended June 30, 2009 of $1.5 million, or 10.0%, to $15.9 million from $14.5 million for the same period in 2008.  The increase in volume of interest-earning assets increased interest income by $1.9 million, while the increase in the
volume of interest-bearing liabilities increased interest expense by $1.0 million. The changes in volume had the effect of increasing net interest income by $904,000. The increase in net interest income associated with changes in rate had the effect of increasing net interest income by $540,000.  The decrease in net interest income attributable to lower yields on interest bearing assets totaled $2.5 million compared to a $3.0 million increase in net interest income attributable to lower rates on interest
bearing liabilities.  Net interest margin increased to 3.06% for the year ended June 30, 2009 compared to 2.95% for the year ended June 30, 2008.





Interest Income.    Interest income decreased from $28.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2008 to $28.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2009. This decrease
of $551,000, or 1.9%, was due to decreases in dividends received from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston which amounted to $206,000 and a decrease in short-term investment rates which decreased interest received on debt securities by 373,000 or 6.6% and interest received on short-term investments of $369,000 or 74.7%.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase in loan interest of $649,000 or 2.9% due to higher average loan balances.

 Table of Contents


Interest Expense.    Interest expense decreased by $2.0 million, or 13.9%, from the year ended June 30, 2008 to the year ended June 30, 2009. Decreased interest costs
on borrowings and deposits were the reason for this decrease. Average deposit balances increased by $43.0 million, or 13.9%, while average rates decreased from 3.20% to 2.46%. Average borrowings balances decreased from $104.9 million to $97.4 million, and the average rate on borrowings decreased from 4.22% to 3.77%.




Provision for Loan Losses.    For the year ended June 30, 2009 the provision for loan losses increased $761,000 compared to the year ending June 30, 2008 due to increases in loan delinquencies,
growth in the loan portfolio and general economic conditions. Net loan charge-offs for 2009 and 2008 were $1.1 million and $8,000, respectively. The allowance for loan losses of $3.7 million at June 30, 2009 represented 1.0% of total loans, as compared to an allowance of $3.5 million, representing 1.0% of total loans at June 30, 2008.




Non-interest Income.    Total non-interest income decreased by $134,000, or 5.5%, for the year ended 2009 compared to the year ended June 30, 2008. The primary reason for this decrease
was a write-down on other-than-temporary impairment losses of investment securities of $388,000.  In addition, in fiscal 2008 the Company recorded a one time gain of $108,000 as a result of the termination of the Company’s defined benefit plan.  The decrease resulting from the write down of securities was offset by an increase in gain on sale of loans of $201,000, an increase in customer service fees of $64,000, an increase of $58,000 in the cash surrender value of life insurance and
an increase of $34,000 in other non-interest income.




Non-interest Expense.    For the year ended June 30, 2009, non-interest expense increased $2.2 million compared to the year ended June 30, 2008.  This increase was largely
due to an increase in salary and employee benefit expenses related to the 2008 Plan of $572,000 and other salary and employee benefits expenses of $393,000.  In addition increases in FDIC expenses of $685,000 and general and administrative expenses of $272,000 contributed to the increase in non-interest expense. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily related to costs associated with the operations of two new branches and the costs associated with maintaining and processing
new deposit and loan customer accounts.




Income Taxes.    Income tax expense decreased from $1.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2008 to $244,000 for the year ended June 30, 2009.  This decrease
of $771,000 was due to the decrease in income before taxes and an adjustment in fiscal 2008 to the company’s valuation reserve against the deferred tax asset established in connection with the charitable contribution carryforward.  The Company’s effective tax rate decreased from 46.4% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008 to 46.0% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009.




Comparison of Operating Results For the Years Ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007




Net Income.    Net income was $1.2 million, or $0.16 per fully diluted share, for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to a net loss of $1.5 million for the twelve
month period ended June 30, 2007. The reason for the net loss for the twelve month period in 2007 was the funding of the Hampden Bank Charitable Foundation. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2008 the provision for loan losses increased $529,000 compared to the twelve months ending June 30, 2007 due to increases in loan delinquencies, increases in non-accrual loans, general economic conditions, and growth in the loan portfolio.





Net Interest Income.The
tables on pages 45 and 46 set forth the components of the Company's net interest income, yields on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the effect on net interest income arising from changes in volume and rate. There was an increase in net interest income for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008 of $2.4 million, or 20.2%, to $14.5 million from $12.1 million for the same period in 2007.The positive effects of the decrease in
interest expense due to both a decrease in volume of interest-bearing liabilities and decreases in rates on interest-bearing liabilities more than offset the lower yields on interest-earning assets. The increase in volume of interest-earning assets increased interest income by $1.7 million, while the decrease in the volume of interest-bearing liabilities decreased interest expense by $366,000. The changes in volume had the effect of increasing net interest income by $2.0 million. The increase in net interest
income associated with changes in rate had the effect of increasing net interest income by $414,000. The decrease in net interest income attributable to lower yields on interest-earning assets totaled $361,000 compared to a $775,000 increase in net interest income attributable to lower rates on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin increased to 2.95% for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to 2.58% for the year ended June 30, 2007.




Interest Income.    Interest income increased from $27.5 million for the year
ended June 30, 2007 to $28.8 for the year ended June 30, 2008. This increase of $1.3 million, or 4.7%, was due to increases in average balances of interest-earning assets. Interest income on loans increased by $1.5 million, or 7.3%, and interest income on securities increased by $234,000, or 3.9%.

 Table of Contents




Interest Expense.    Interest expense decreased by $1.1 million, or 7.4%, from the year ended June 30, 2007 to the year ended June 30, 2008. Decreased interest costs
on borrowings and deposits were the reason for this decrease. Average deposit balances decreased by $13.8 million, or 4.3%, while average rates decreased from 3.44% to 3.20%. Average borrowings balances increased from $98.8 million to $104.9 million, and the average rate on borrowings decreased from 4.40% to 4.22%.




Provision for Loan Losses.    For the twelve months ended June 30, 2008 the provision for loan losses increased $529,000 compared to the twelve months ending June 30, 2007 due to increases
in loan delinquencies, increases in non-accrual loans, growth in the loan portfolio, and general economic conditions. Net loan charge-offs for 2008 and 2007 were $8,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. The allowance for loan losses of $3.5 million at June 30, 2008 represented 1.0% of total loans, as compared to an allowance of $2.8 million, representing 0.9% of total loans at June 30, 2007. Our analysis of the adequacy of the allowance considers economic conditions, historical losses, and management's
estimate of losses inherent in the portfolio. For further discussion of the Company's current methodology, please refer to "Business."




Non-interest Income.    Total non-interest income increased by $471,000,
or 24.0%, for the year ended 2008 compared to the year ended June 30, 2007. The primary reason for this increase was an increase in customer service fees of $486,000 from $1.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2007 to $1.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2008.There was a $63,000 increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance, and a $63,000 increase in other non-interest income. These increases were partially offset by a $69,000
decrease in gains on the sale of securities, as well as a $76,000 decrease in the curtailment of the defined benefit plan.  The Company froze its defined benefit pension plan effective October 31, 2006 and recorded a gain of $184,000 as a result of the curtailment. In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company voted to terminate the plan with final settlement, including the distribution of all plan assets, which was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company recorded a gain of $108,000
as a result of the settlement of the plan.




Non-interest Expense.    Non-interest expense decreased $1.5 million, or 9.8%, to $14.1 million in 2008 as compared to $15.6 million in 2007. There were increases
in salaries and benefits of $1.0 million, general expenses of $766,000, advertising expense of $234,000, occupancy expense of $178,000, and data processing services of $55,000. The Company experienced increases in salaries and benefit categories and expenses associated with being a public company, including audit and legal fees and fees related to complying with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These increases were more than offset by a decrease in charitable contributions of $3.8 million for
the year ended June 30, 2008.




Additionally, during the third and fourth quarters of 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors awarded 595,000 stock options with an exercise price of $10.90 per share and 317,996 shares of restricted stock with a grant date fair value of $10.18 per share to
directors and certain officers. These options and stock awards were granted in accordance with the Company’s 2008 Plan approved by shareholders on January 29, 2008. The stock option expense and the stock awards expense are both recognized in salary expense. For more information regarding the 2008 Plan see “Stock Based Compensation”.





Income Taxes.    There was an income tax expense of $1.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2008. This was an increase of $1.3 million compared to an income tax
benefit of $267,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007. The tax benefit in fiscal 2007 was due to a tax benefit of $827,000 from the charitable foundation contribution, after a related valuation reserve of $460,000 for the charitable foundation contribution.A $350,000adjustment was made in fiscal 2008 to increase the Company’s valuation reserve against the deferred tax asset set up
for the utilization of the charitable deduction carry-forward generated by the establishment of the Hampden Bank Charitable Foundation. The combined federal and state effective tax rate was 46.4% in 2008, compared to 15.5% in 2007.




Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008







Total Assets.    Total assets increased by $23.8 million, or
4.4%, from $543.8 million at June 30, 2008 to $567.7 million at June 30, 2009. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in net loans of $26.8 million, or 7.4%, to $386.6 million at June 30, 2009, an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $2.7 million or 8.0%, to $36.2 million at June 30, 2009 and an increase in other real estate owned of $1.4 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in securities available for sale of $7.8 million, or 6.3%, to $116.1 million
at June 30, 2009. All of these changes are discussed below.




Cash and Short-term Investments.    Cash and correspondent bank balances, and short-term investments

Risk Management





Management recognizes that taking and managing risk is fundamental to the business of banking. Through the development, implementation and monitoring of its policies with respect to risk management, the Company strives to measure, evaluate and mitigate the risks
it faces. Management understands that an effective risk management system is critical to the safety and soundness of the Company. Chief among the risks faced by the Company are credit risk, market risk including interest rate risk, liquidity risk, operational (transaction) risk and compliance risk.





Within management, the responsibility for risk management rests with the General Counsel and the senior officers responsible for finance, lending, retail banking, marketing and human resources. The General Counsel and senior officers continually review the status of our risk management efforts, including reviews of
internal and external audit findings, loan review findings, and the activities of the Asset/Liability Committee with respect to monitoring interest rate and liquidity risk. The General Counsel tracks any open items requiring corrective action with the goal of ensuring that each is addressed on a timely basis. The General Counsel reports all findings directly to the Audit Committee.





Management of Credit Risk.    The Company considers credit risk to be the most significant risk it faces, in that it has the greatest potential to affect the financial
condition and operating results of the Company. Credit risk is managed through a combination of policies established by the Board of Directors of the Company, the monitoring of compliance with these policies, and the periodic evaluation of loans in the portfolio, including those with problem characteristics. In general, the Company's policies establish maximums on the amount of credit that may be granted to a single borrower (including affiliates), the aggregate amount of loans outstanding by type in relation
to total assets and capital, and loan concentrations. Collateral and debt service coverage ratios, approval limits and other underwriting criteria are also specified. Policies also exist with respect to performing periodic credit reviews, the rating of loans, when loans should be placed on non-performing status and factors that should be considered in establishing the Company's allowance for loan losses. For additional information, see "Business—Lending
Activities."

Management of Market Risk.





Interest rate risk is the exposure of the Company's net interest income to adverse movements in interest rates. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates as well as by fluctuations in the level and duration of the Company's assets and liabilities.
Over and above the influence that interest rates have on net interest income, changes in rates may also affect the volume of lending activity, the ability of borrowers to repay variable rate loans, the volume of loan prepayments and refinancing, the flow and mix of deposits, and the market value of the Company's assets and liabilities.




Exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Company through periodic evaluations of the current interest rate risk inherent in its rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, coupled with determinations of
the level of risk considered appropriate given the Company's capital and liquidity requirements, business strategy and performance objectives. Through such management, the Company seeks to manage the vulnerability of its net interest income to changes in interest rates.




Strategies used by the Company to manage the potential volatility of its earnings may include:




•Emphasizing the origination and retention of adjustable-rate mortgage loans, variable rate commercial loans and variable rate home equity lines of credit;





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





•Classifying all of the investment portfolio as "available for sale" in order to provide for flexibility in liquidity management; and





•Lengthening or shortening liabilities such as certificates of deposits and FHLB borrowings when appropriate.




The Company's Asset/Liability Committee, comprised of senior management and two members of the Board of Directors, is responsible for managing interest rate risk. On a quarterly basis, the Committee
reviews with the Board of Directors its analysis of the Company's exposure to interest rate risk, the effect that subsequent changes in interest rates could have on the Company's future net interest income, its strategies and other activities, and the effect of those strategies on the Company's operating results.




The Committee's primary method for measuring and evaluating interest rate risk is income simulation analysis. This analysis considers the maturity and repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities,
as well as the relative sensitivities of these balance sheet components over a range of interest rate scenarios. Interest rate scenarios tested generally include instantaneous and sustained parallel and flattening/steepening rate ramps over a one year period, and static (or flat) rates. The simulation analysis is used to measure the exposure of net interest income to changes in interest rates over a specified time horizon, usually a two-year period.




The following table sets forth, as of June 30, 2009, the estimated changes in the Company's net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous and sustained changes in the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Computations of prospective effects of
hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

 Table of Contents







As indicated in the table above the result of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates is estimated to decrease net interest income by 1.10% and 5.30% for a 200 basis point decrease over a 12-month horizon, when compared to the flat rate scenario. The estimated change in net
interest income from the flat rate scenario for a 200 basis point decline in the level of interest rates is a decrease of 1.89%, and an increase of 2.44% for a 100 basis point decline. Inherent in these estimates is the assumption that interest rates on interest bearing liabilities would change in direct proportion to changes in the U.S. Treasury yield curve. In all simulations, the lowest possible interest rate would be zero.


There are inherent shortcomings in income simulation, given the number and variety of assumptions that must be made in performing the analysis. The assumptions relied upon in making these calculations of interest rate sensitivity include the level of market interest
rates, the shape of the yield curve, the degree to which certain assets and liabilities with similar maturities or periods to repricing react to changes in market interest rates, the degree to which non-maturity deposits react to changes in market rates, the expected prepayment rates on loans and mortgage-backed securities, and the degree to which early withdrawals occur on certificates of deposit and the volume of other deposit flows. As such, although the analysis shown above provides an indication of the Company's
sensitivity to interest rate changes at a point in time, these estimates are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on the Company's net interest income and will differ from actual results.




In its management of interest rate risk, the Company also relies on the analysis of its interest rate "gap," which is the measure of the mismatch between the amount of the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that mature or reprice within
specified timeframes. An asset-sensitive position (positive gap) exists when there are more rate-sensitive assets than rate-sensitive liabilities maturing or repricing within a particular time horizon, and generally signifies a favorable effect on net interest income during periods of rising interest rates and a negative effect during periods of falling interest rates. Conversely, a liability-sensitive position (negative gap) would generally indicate a negative effect on net interest income during periods of
rising rates and a positive effect during periods of falling rates. Certain factors may serve to limit the usefulness of the measurement of the interest rate gap. For example, interest rates on certain assets and liabilities are discretionary and may change in advance of, or may lag behind, changes in market rates. The gap analysis does not give effect to changes the Company may undertake to mitigate interest rate risk. Certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features that may restrict the magnitude
of changes in interest rates both on a short-term basis and over the life of the assets. Further, in the event of changes in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in the gap analysis. Lastly, should interest rates increase, the ability of borrowers to service their debt may decrease.




Liquidity Risk Management.    Liquidity risk, or the risk to earnings and capital arising from an organization's inability to meet its obligations without incurring unacceptable
losses, is managed by the Company's Chief Financial Officer, who monitors on a daily basis the adequacy of the Company's liquidity position. Oversight is provided by the Asset/Liability Committee, which reviews the Company's liquidity on a monthly basis, and by the Board of Directors of the Company, which reviews the adequacy of our liquidity resources on a quarterly basis.




The Company's primary sources of funds are from deposits, repurchase agreements, amortization of loans, loan prepayments and the maturity of loans, mortgage-backed securities and other investments, and other funds provided by operations. While scheduled payments
from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing loans and investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments can be greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We maintain excess funds in cash and short-term interest-bearing assets that provide additional liquidity. At June 30, 2009, cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and short-term investments totaled $36.2 million, or 6.4%,
of total assets, which is an increase of $2.7 million, or 8.0%, from June 30, 2008.




The Company also relies on outside borrowings from the FHLB as an additional funding source. Since June 30, 2008, the Company has decreased FHLB borrowings by $26.1 million to a total of $72.4 million outstanding as of June 30, 2009. On that date,
the Company had the ability to borrow an additional $81.5 million from the FHLB.




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

Management of Other Risks.    Two additional risk areas that receive significant attention by management and the Board are operational risk and compliance risk. Operational
risk is the risk to earnings and capital arising from control deficiencies, problems with information systems, fraud, error or unforeseen catastrophes. Compliance risk is the risk arising from violations of, or nonconformance with, laws, rules, regulations, prescribed practices, internal policies and procedures or ethical standards. Compliance risk can expose us to fines, civil money penalties, payment of damages and the voiding of contracts. Both operational and compliance risks also can have serious reputation
risk issues for the Company as well.




The Company addresses such risks through the establishment of comprehensive policies and procedures with respect to internal control, the management and operation
of its information and communication systems, disaster recovery, and compliance with laws, regulations and banking "best practice." Monitoring of the efficacy of such policies and procedures is performed through a combination of the Company's internal audit program, through periodic internal and third-party compliance reviews, and through the ongoing attention of its managers charged with supervising compliance and operational control. Oversight of these activities is provided by the Company's General Counsel
and the Board of Directors.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices





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

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING





The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The internal control process has been designed under management’s supervision to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
 The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, transactions and dispositions of assets; and provide reasonable assurances that: (1) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation
of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; (2) receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.





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





This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm pursuant to temporary rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.





Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, utilizing the framework established in Internal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009 is effective based on those criteria.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM








To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of


Hampden Bancorp, Inc.







We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2009. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.




We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.




In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2009
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

HAMPDEN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007




1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES




Basis of presentation and consolidation




Hampden Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed by Hampden Bank to become the stock holding company for Hampden Bank upon completion of Hampden Bancorp, MHC's conversion from a mutual bank holding company to a stock bank holding company (the “Conversion”).
Hampden Bancorp, Inc. and Hampden Bank completed the conversion of the holding company structure of Hampden Bank and the related stock offering on January 16, 2007 with the issuance of 7,949,879 shares (including 378,566 shares issued to the Hampden Bank Charitable Foundation) raising net proceeds of $73.4 million (the "Conversion"). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hampden Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hampden Bank (the “Bank”)
and Hampden LS, Inc.  Hampden Bank is a Massachusetts chartered stock savings bank. Hampden Bancorp, Inc. contributed funds to Hampden LS, Inc. to enable it to make a 15-year loan to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) to allow it to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock as part of the completion of the initial public offering. Hampden Bank has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hampden Investment Corporation, which engages in buying, selling, holding and otherwise dealing
in securities, and Hampden Insurance Agency, which ceased selling insurance products in November of 2000 and remains inactive.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.During any period prior to January 16, 2007, the Company was newly organized and owned no assets. Therefore, the financial information for any period prior to January 16, 2007 presented in this report is that of
Hampden Bancorp, MHC and its subsidiary.




Management evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after June 30, 2009 up through September 10, 2009, the date the Company issued these financial statements. During this period, the Company did not have any material recognized or unrecognized subsequent
events.




Use of estimates




In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the
consolidated balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The determination of the allowance for loan losses, other-than-temporary impairment losses and deferred taxes are material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term.




Business and Operating Segments




The Company provides a variety of financial services to individuals and small businesses through its Internet operations and nine offices in Hampden County, Massachusetts and surrounding communities. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings and term certificate accounts
and its primary lending products are residential mortgage and commercial loans.




Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information
about operating segments in annual and interim financial statements. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographical areas, and major customers. Generally, financial information is to be reported on the basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. Management evaluates the Company's performance and allocates resources based on a single segment concept. Accordingly, there are no separately
identified material operating segments for which discrete financial information is available. The Company does not derive revenues from, or have assets located in foreign countries, nor does it derive revenues from any single customer that represents 10% or more of the Company's total revenues.




Reclassification




Certain amounts in the 2008 and 2007 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)





Cash and Cash Equivalents and Statements of Cash Flows





Cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and short-term investments with original maturities of less than 90 days are recognized as cash equivalents in the statements of cash flows. Federal funds sold generally mature in one day. For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash flows from loans and deposits are reported on a net basis. The Company maintains amounts due from banks and federal funds sold that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses from such concentrations.




Securities




Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "held to maturity" and recorded at amortized cost. Securities purchased and held principally for the purpose of trading in the near term are classified as “trading securities”.
Securities not classified as held to maturity or trading, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as "available for sale" and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income/loss.





Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Gains and losses on disposition of securities are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method. Declines
in fair value of equity securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses on equity securities, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, existing credit losses on debt securities, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment
in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. For those debt securities for which the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost and the Company does not intend to sell such security and it is likely than it will not be required to sell such security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis less any credit losses, FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 requires that the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment losses be recognized
in earnings while the noncredit component is recognized in other comprehensive loss, net of related taxes.





Federal Home Loan Bank Stock





The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLB"), is required to invest in shares of $100 par value stock of the FHLB in the amount of 1% of the Bank’s outstanding residential loans or 5% of its outstanding advances from the FHLB, whichever
is higher. Based on redemption provisions of the FHLB, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost. At its discretion, the FHLB may declare dividends on its stock. Effective in 2009 the FHLB has suspended dividend payments and issued a moratorium on the redemption of FHLB stock. The Company reviews its investment in FHLB stock for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis in the FHLB stock. As of June 30, 2009, no impairment has been recognized.




Loans




The Company grants mortgage, commercial, and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio consists of mortgage loans in Hampden County, Massachusetts and surrounding communities. The ability of the Company's debtors to honor their contracts is dependent
upon the local real estate market and economy.




Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs
on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.




The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued when reasonable doubt exists as to the full timely collection of interest and principal or at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Other
personal loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due. Past due status is based

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)





SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)




on the contractual term of the loans. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.





All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual status.
Loans are reclassified to accrual status no sooner than regulatory requirements allow.




Loans Held for Sale




Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value, as determined by aggregate outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized
through a valuation allowance by charges to noninterest income. Gains or losses on sales of mortgage loans are recognized based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related mortgage loans sold on the trade date.




Allowance for loan losses




The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.
Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.




The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may
affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.




The allowance consists of specifically allocated and general components. The specifically allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral
value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.




A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are
generally maintained on a non-accrual basis. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either 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.




Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential mortgage loans for impairment disclosures.




Loan Servicing




Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets at fair value when rights are acquired through purchase or through sale of financial assets. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is
based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)





SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)





In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets" ("SFAS 156"). The Statement
amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 requires companies to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability at fair value each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a service contract. However, the Statement permits the Company
to choose either the amortized cost method or fair value measurement method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets. The Company adopted the fair value measurement method under SFAS 156 effective July 1, 2007. Previous to that date servicing assets were amortized into non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 156, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment
for a change in accounting principle as an addition to retained earnings of $133,000, net of tax effects.




Transfers of financial assets




Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free
of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.




Bank-Owned Life Insurance




Bank-owned life insurance policies are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet at cash surrender value. Changes in cash surrender value are reflected in non-interest income on the consolidated statement of income.




Premises and equipment




Land is carried at cost. Buildings, leasehold improvements and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the expected term of the lease, if shorter. Expected
terms include lease option periods to the extent that the exercise of such options is reasonably assured. The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred.




Advertising costs




All advertising costs are expensed as incurred.




Treasury Stock





Common stock shares repurchased are recorded as treasury stock at cost.





Other Real Estate Owned





The Company classifies property acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure as other real estate owned (“OREO”) in its consolidated financial statements. When property is placed into OREO, it is recorded at the fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure
or acceptance of deed in lieu of foreclosure. At the time of transfer to OREO, any excess of carrying value over fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Management, or its designee, inspects all OREO property periodically. Holding costs and declines in fair value result in charges to expense after the property is acquired.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)





Income taxes





The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. As changes in the tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted accordingly through
the provision for income taxes. The Company's base amount of its federal income tax reserve for loan losses is a permanent difference for which there is no recognition of a deferred tax liability. However, the loan loss allowance maintained for financial reporting purposes is a temporary difference with allowable recognition of a related deferred tax asset, if it is deemed realizable.The Company exercises significant judgment in evaluating
the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax assets and liabilities. These judgments require us to make projections of future taxable income. These judgments and estimates, which are inherently subjective, are reviewed periodically as regulatory and business factors change. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.





On July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN
48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109 by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financials statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken in the future, in the Company’s tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance related to the recognition, derecognition or change in measurement of a tax position as a result of new
tax positions, changes in management’s judgment about the level of uncertainty of existing tax positions, expiration of open income tax returns due to the statutes of limitation, status of examinations and litigation and legislative activity. The initial adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Company’s financial statements and the Company has no material uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2009. Future interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, will be reported as income
tax expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Equity Incentive Plan





The Company measures and recognizes compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions based on the grant date fair value of the equity instruments issued over the vesting period of such awards on a straight-line basis. The fair value of each restricted stock award, equal to the market price at the date
of grant, was recorded as unearned restricted shares. Unearned restricted shares are amortized to salaries and employee benefits expense over the vesting period of the restricted stock awards. The fair value of each stock option award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which includes several assumptions such as expected volatility, dividends, term and risk-free rate for each stock option award. See Note 15 for additional discussion.




Employee Stock Ownership Plan




Compensation expense is recognized based on the fair value of shares at the time they are committed to be released to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) participants. All shares held by
the ESOP that are released and committed to be released are deemed outstanding for purposes of earnings per share calculations. The value of unearned shares to be allocated to ESOP participants for future services not yet performed is reflected as a reduction of stockholders’ equity.




Comprehensive income/loss




Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component
of the retained earnings section of the consolidated balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income/loss.

Earnings Per Common Share





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




Earnings per common share have been computed based upon the following:

(1)
Since the Company’s initial public offering (IPO) in January 2007, the Company has presented earnings per share data for quarterly and annual reporting periods during which its shares were outstanding for the complete period. This presentation was consistent with the method used in practice by banking entities. Pursuant to guidance provided to the
Company by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company is revising its presentation of earnings per share data for periods prior to its IPO, which was completed on January 16, 2007, to reflect shares issued in the IPO and to the Hampden Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan as outstanding for all periods presented. The additional disclosure of earnings per share for those periods prior to the IPO has no effect on previously reported earnings per share for periods subsequent to the IPO. Accordingly,
earnings per share for the year ended June 30, 2007 is being presented for the first time herein.





The earnings per share calculation excludes 595,000 options whose effect would have been antidilutive for the years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008.




Recent Accounting Pronouncements





In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurement" (SFAS 157) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and
expands the disclosures about fair value measurement. This Statement was developed to provide guidance for consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and disclosures and applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued a Staff Position which delays the effective
date of Statement No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted this statement, except for items covered by the Staff Position, as of July 1, 2008 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.  See Note 17 for more details.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)





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





On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”) establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary
that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective
for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. This statement is not applicable to the Company and will, therefore, not have an impact on it’s consolidated financial statements.





In March 2007, the Emerging Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-04, "Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements"("EITF 06-04"). Under this EITF, the Company
is required to recognize a liability for postretirement benefits related to endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements.  The Company adopted the provision of this standard effective July 1, 2008. As a result of the adoption of EITF 06-04, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment for a change in accounting principle as a reduction to retained earnings of $457,000.





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





In October, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active”(“FSP 157-3”).  FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157
in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP 157-3 was effective immediately upon issuance, and includes prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued.  The Company applied the guidance contained in FSP 157-3 in determining fair values at September 30, 2008, and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements.





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

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Concluded)





Effective January 2009, the Company adopted FASB FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”),
which addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of FASB SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” All prior-period earnings per share data presented shall be adjusted retrospectively (including interim financial
statements, summaries of earnings and selected financial data) to conform to the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1. This statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.





In April 2009, FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value when the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly”(“FSP FAS 157-4”), which
provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”(“SFAS 157”) when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP FAS 157-4 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 also amended SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” to expand certain disclosure
requirements. FSP 157-4 is effective for periods beginning after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted FAS 157-4 as of April 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 on April 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.





In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”), which amends the other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) guidance
for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. Under FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, declines in the fair value of debt securities below their amortized cost basis that are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired are recognized
in earnings to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the other-than-temporary impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 on April 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.





In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”(“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”), which amends FASB SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” to require disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly-traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting” to require these disclosures in summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. This FSP was effective for interim reporting periods
ended after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ended after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.





In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” (“SFAS 166”), which improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability
of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” (“SFAS
140”). This statement shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within the first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of the statement shall be applied to transfers that occur on or after the effective date. This statement is not expected to have a material impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.





In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 168”), which replaces SFAS No. 162, “The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”) and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. This Statement shall be
effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. This Statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)




SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE (Concluded)




At June 30, 2009, fifty debt securities have unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 2.8% from the Company's amortized cost basis. In analyzing an issuer's financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government
or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analyst's reports. Because the majority of these securities have been issued by the federal government or its agencies and as management has not decided to sell these securities, nor is it likely that the Company will be required to sell these securities, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary. At June 30, 2009, we held 24 securities issued by private mortgage originators that had an amortized cost of
$12.0 million and a fair value of $11.2 million. All of these investments are “Senior” Class tranches and have underlying credit enhancement.  These securities were originated in the period 2002-2005 and are performing in accordance with contractual terms. The majority of the decrease in the fair value of these securities is attributed to changes in market interest rates.  Management estimates the loss projections for each security by evaluating the industry rating, amount
of delinquencies, amount of foreclosure, amount of other real estate owned, average credit scores, average amortized loan to value and credit enhancement.  Based on this review, management determines whether other-than-temporary impairment existed. Management has determined that no other-than-temporary impairment existed as of June 30, 2009. We will continue to evaluate these securities for other-than-temporary impairment, which could result in a future non-cash charge to earnings.




At June 30, 2009, twenty-one marketable equity securities have unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 34.4% from the Company's cost basis. The majority of these unrealized losses relate principally to the banking, retail, healthcare, and insurance industries.
Although the issuers have shown declines in earnings as a result of the weakened economy, no credit issues have been identified that would cause management to believe the declines in market value are other than temporary. In analyzing the issuer's financial condition, management considers industry analysts’ reports and financial performance. Because management has the intent and ability to hold equity securities for a reasonable period for recovery, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.




Management conducts, at least on a quarterly basis, a review of our investment securities to determine if the value of any security has declined below its cost or amortized cost and whether such decline represents other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”).
The Company recorded a loss of $388,000 for seven marketable equity securities that the Company considered to be OTTI securities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. There were no impairment charges related to OTTI securities for the years ended June 30, 2008 or June 30, 2007.




4. LOAN SERVICING





In the ordinary course of business, the Company sells real estate loans to the secondary market. The Company retains servicing on loans sold and earns servicing fees of .25% per annum based on the monthly outstanding balances of the loans serviced. The Company recognizes
servicing assets each time it undertakes an obligation to service loans sold.





The changes in servicing assets measured using fair value are as follows:

The unpaid principal balance of mortgage serviced for others was $46.8 million and $31.9 million at June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively. There are no recourse provisions for the loans that are serviced for others. The risks inherent in mortgage servicing assets relate primarily to changes in prepayments that
result from shifts in mortgage interest rates. For the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008, and 2007, amounts recognized for loan servicing fees amounted to $141,000, $187,000, and $88,000, respectively.

No adjustment to the valuation reserve was made in fiscal 2009. In fiscal 2008, an adjustment of $350,000 was made to increase the Company's valuation reserve againstthe deferred tax asset set up for the utilization of the charitable
contribution deduction carryforward. The valuation allowance was established to reflect the uncertainty of fully utilizing a five-year charitable contribution carryforward of approximately $3.5 million. The carryforward was created primarily by the contribution of 378,566 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Hampden Bank Charitable Foundation as part of the mutual to stock conversion.





The federal income tax reserve for loan losses at the Company's base year amounted to $2,222,000. If any portion of the reserve is used for purposes other than to absorb loan losses, approximately 150% of the amount actually used, limited to the amount of the reserve,
would be subject to taxation, in the fiscal year in which used. As the Company intends to use the reserves solely to absorb loan losses, a deferred income tax liability of $888,000 has not been provided.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES




In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.




Loan commitments




The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.




The Company's exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of financial instruments
outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk is as follows:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Commitments to grant loans are generally secured by real estate.
Unadvanced lines-of-credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements as these commitments may expire without being drawn upon. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. Funds disbursed on construction loans and home equity lines-of-credit are collateralized by real estate. Overdraft lines-of-credit are unsecured.




Unadvanced funds on commercial lines of credit are generally secured by the business assets of the borrower. Unadvanced funds due mortgagers are funds committed for construction loans collateralized by residential real estate.




Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance by a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit are generally secured by cash, business assets, or real estate. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.




FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of
a guarantee, a liability in an amount equal to the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The Company considers standby letters of credit to be guarantees under FIN No. 45. The amount of the liability related to guarantees at June 30, 2009 and 2008 was not material.

Contingencies




Various legal claims arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, these claims will have no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.




Employment and change of control agreements




In connection with the Conversion, the Company entered into employment agreements and change of control agreements with certain officers.




The employment agreements provide for an annual base salary, subject to increase, and certain other benefits. They also guarantee customary corporate indemnification and insurance coverage under a standard directors’ and officers’ insurance policy throughout
the employment term. The initial terms of the agreements are three years. The term automatically extends at the conclusion of the initial term for a successive term of three years, unless notice not to renew is given by either party, or unless the agreement is earlier terminated by the parties. Following termination of the executive’s employment, the executive must adhere to non-competition and non-disclosure restrictions for one year, or for a period of time equal to the officer’s severance benefit,
whichever is longer.




Depending on the officer, the change in control agreements provide for a severance payment equal to either one (1) or two (2) times the individual’s average annual compensation for the five most recent taxable years.  The initial terms of the agreements
are two years. The terms of each change in control agreement may be extended by the Board of Directors of Hampden Bank for an additional year.




13. MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS




The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's and the Bank's consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments
by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to the Company.

MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (Continued)




Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined)
and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, that the Company and the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.




As of June 30, 2009, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total
risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category.

14. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS




Pension Plan




The Company froze its defined benefit pension plan effective October 31, 2006 and recorded a gain of $184,000 in fiscal 2007 as a result of the curtailment. In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company voted to terminate its defined benefit pension plan with final settlement,
including the distribution of all plan assets, which was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company recorded a gain of $108,000 as a result of the settlement of the plan. Prior to termination, the Company provided pension benefits for eligible employees through the defined benefit pension plan. Substantially all employees participated in the retirement plan on a non-contributing basis, and were fully vested after three years of service.

401(k) plan




The Company also provides a 401(k) retirement savings plan for eligible employees. Each employee reaching the age of 21 and having completed at least 1,000 hours of service in a twelve-month period, automatically becomes a participant in the plan. For participating
employees, the Company contributes an amount equal to 3% of each employee’s compensation for the plan year to their participation account and makes matching contributions equal to 50% of the first 2% of each participant’s deferred compensation for the plan year. Prior to January 16, 2007, the Company made matching contributions to the 401(k) plan equal to 25% of the first 6% of each participant’s deferred compensation for the plan year. Contributions for the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008
and 2007 amounted to $194,000, $184,000 and $56,000, respectively.




Supplemental retirement benefits




In 2004, the Company entered into supplemental retirement benefit agreements with certain officers and directors which provide for annual retirement benefits above the amounts provided by Savings Banks Employees Retirement Association. The present value of future payments
is being accrued monthly over the required service periods. Supplemental retirement benefit expense for the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $496,000, $525,000 and $414,000, respectively. In connection with the supplemental retirement agreements, the Company maintains a liability account with balances of $2.0 million at June 30, 2009 and $1.6 million at June 30, 2008.




The Company has entered into collateral split dollar life insurance agreements with certain officers in connection with supplemental retirement benefits whereby the Company has agreed to pay the insurance premiums currently on policies purchased for and owned by certain officers.
The Company's obligation to pay the premium on these policies ceases upon the employee's termination of employment. In addition, the Company has entered into endorsement split dollar life insurance agreements with certain officers in connection with supplemental retirement benefits whereby the Company has endorsed a portion of the death benefits of the policies to the employee. The Company owns these policies and has agreed to pay the premiums currently and subsequent to the employee's retirement. Refer to Note
1 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements for more information regarding EITF 06-4.




Employee Stock Ownership Plan




Hampden Bancorp, Inc. contributed funds to a subsidiary, Hampden LS, Inc., to enable it to make a 15-year loan to the ESOP to allow it to purchase shares of the Company common stock as part of the completion of the initial public offering. On January 16, 2007, at the completion
of the initial public offering the ESOP purchased 635,990 shares, or 8% of the 7,949,879 shares outstanding from the initial public offering. This plan is a tax-qualified retirement plan for the benefit of eligible Company employees.  The plan is created for the purpose of providing retirement benefits to participants and their beneficiaries in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and Title I of ERISA. Eligible employees who have attained age 21 and have been employed
by the Company for three months as of January 16, 2007 were eligible to participate in the plan. Thereafter, employees who have attained the age of 21 and have completed 1,000 hours of service during a continuous 12-month period will be eligible to participate as of the first entry date following completion of the plan’s eligibility requirements.





At June 30, 2009, the principal balance on the ESOP debt is payable as follows:

15. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN




Stock Options





Under the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), approved by the Company’s stockholders at a special stockholder meeting on January 29, 2008, the Company may grant stock options to its directors, employees, and consultants for
up to 794,987 shares of common stock. Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be granted under the Plan. On April 29, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company granted stock options to purchase 595,000 shares of common stock to its directors and employees. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and the maximum term of each option is 10 years. The vesting period is five years from date of grant, with vesting at 20%
per year, except that the Company’s options granted to its chief executive officer vest over four years from date of grant at 25% per year. There are 229,987 stock options that are available to be granted to directors and employees as of June 30, 2009. 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 Year Ended June 30, 2008Fair Value
$2.86Expected dividends
1.16%Expected term (years)
6.50Expected volatility
19.40%Risk-free interest rate
4.25%





The expected volatility is based on historical volatility through the date of grant. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the awards is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected life of 6.5 years is based on the simplified method calculation
allowed for “plain vanilla” share options. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts.

As of June 30, 2009, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested options amounted to $1.3 million. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.4 years.  The
intrinsic value of all stock options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2009 was zero.




Stock Awards





Under the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders at a special stockholder meeting on January 29, 2008, the Company may grant stock awards to its directors, employees and consultants for up to 317,996 shares of common
stock. The stock awards vest at 20% per year, except that the Company’s awards to its chief executive officer vest at 25% per year. The fair market value of the stock awards, based on the market price at grant date, is recorded as unearned compensation. Unearned compensation is amortized over the applicable vesting period. The Company recognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards of $655,000 and $335,000 for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. No stock awards were
granted prior to January 29, 2008. As of June 30, 2009, there was $2.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock awards granted under the Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a period of 3.50 years.





A summary of the status of the Company’s stock awards is presented below:

The aggregate fair value of the stock awards that vested in fiscal 2009 was $585,000.





16. RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS, LOANS AND ADVANCES





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





At June 30, 2009, the Bank’s retained earnings available for the payment of dividends was $34.4 million. At June 30, 2009, $35.2 million of the Company’s equity in the net assets of the Bank was restricted. Funds available for loans or advances by the Bank to the Company amounted
to $7.0 million.

RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS, LOANS AND ADVANCES (Concluded)





In addition, dividends paid by the Bank to the Company would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements.




As part of the Conversion, the Company established a liquidation account in an amount equal to the net worth of the Company as of the date of the last consolidated balance sheet appearing in the final prospectus distributed in connection with the Conversion. The
amount of the liquidation account as of June 30, 2009 is $7.4 million, however, this amount will decline over time. The liquidation account is maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders who maintain their accounts at the Company after the Conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that such account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits as of each anniversary date. Subsequent increases will not restore an account holder's
interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation, each eligible account holder will be entitled to receive balances for accounts then held.




17. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS




SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of
inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:





Level 1:

Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.Level 2:

Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that are derived principally from or can be corroborated
by observable market data by correlation or other means.Level 3:

Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.





The following 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 investments approximate fair values.




Securities: The securities measured at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are government-sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities and common stocks. The fair values used by the Company are obtained from an independent pricing service, which represents
either quoted market prices for identical securities, quoted market prices for comparable securities or fair values determined by pricing models that consider observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems and other market indicators, industry and economic events. The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates fair value based upon the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.




Loans held for sale: Fair value of loans held for sale are estimated based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.





Loans: Fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash
flow analyses, using market interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. This analysis  assumes no prepayment. Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable. In the ordinary course of business, the Company sells real estate loans to the secondary market.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)


Mortgage servicing
rights: Mortgage servicing rights are the rights of a Mortgage Servicer to collect mortgage payments and forward them, after deducting a fee, to the mortgage lender.The fair value of servicing rights is estimated using a present value cash flow model. The fair value of MSR is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. Changes in prepayment speed assumptions generally have the most significant impact on the fair value of our MSR.
Generally, as interest rates decline, mortgage loan prepayments accelerate due to increased refinance activity, which results in a decrease in the fair value of MSR. As interest rates rise, mortgage loan prepayments slow down, which results in an increase in the fair value of MSR. Thus, any measurement of the fair value of our MSR is limited by the conditions existing and the assumptions utilized as of a particular point in time, and those assumptions may not be appropriate if they are applied at a different
point in time.




Deposits: The fair values for non-certificate accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for certificate accounts are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies
market interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.




Securities sold under agreements to repurchase: The carrying
amount of repurchase agreements approximates fair value.




Short-term
borrowings: For short-term borrowings maturing within ninety days, carrying values approximate fair values. Fair values of other short-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current incremental borrowing rates in the market for similar types of borrowing arrangements.




Long-term
debt: The fair values of the Company's advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.





Accrued
interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.




Off-balance-sheet instruments: Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. The estimated fair value
of off-balance sheet financial instruments at June 30, 2009 and 2008 was not material.




The following table presents the balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009:

Also, the Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets on a non-recurring basis in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The following
table summarizes the fair value hierarchy used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets as of June 30, 2009.

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




The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for
the Company's 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. 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. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from
its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.
