CHICOPEE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
At and for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006
1. Basis of Presentation
Chicopee Bancorp, Inc. (the Corporation) has no significant assets other than all of the outstanding shares of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Chicopee Savings Bank (the Bank) and Chicopee Funding Corporation (collectively, the Company). The accounts of the Bank include all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of September 30, 2006 and for the periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows, as of and for the periods covered herein, have been made. For additional information, refer to the 2005 financial statements and footnotes thereto of Chicopee Savings Bank (the Bank or Chicopee Savings Bank) included in Chicopee Bancorp, Inc.s (the Company or Chicopee Bancorp) prospectus, dated May 15, 2006.
The results for the three- and nine-month interim periods covered hereby are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.
2. Plan of Conversion
Chicopee Bancorp was organized as a Massachusetts corporation at the direction of the Bank in connection with the conversion of the Bank. The conversion of the Bank was completed on July 19, 2006. In the conversion, Chicopee Bancorp sold 6,888,304 shares of common stock to the public and contributed 551,064 shares to the Chicopee Savings Bank Charitable Foundation.
After the conversion, holders of withdrawable deposits in the Bank are not entitled to share in any residual assets upon liquidation of the Bank. However, under applicable regulations, the Bank, at the time of the conversion, established a liquidation account in an amount equal to its total equity as of the date of the latest statement of financial condition contained in the final prospectus relating to the conversion.
Costs incurred in connection with the offering were recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the offering. As of September 30, 2006, approximately $1.9 million of conversion costs had been incurred. Net proceeds from the common stock offering amounted to $67.0 million.
5
3. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The net outstanding common shares equals the gross number of common shares issued less unallocated shares of the Chicopee Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares to be issued would include any shares in a stock-based compensation plan. As of September 30, 2006, the Company does not have a stock-based compensation plan.
Earnings per common share are not presented as the Companys initial public offering was completed on July 19, 2006; therefore, per share results would not be meaningful.

4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and early application is encouraged. This Statement does not require any new fair value measurements and the Company does not expect application of this Statement will change current practice.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). This Statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity. The funded status of a plan should be measured as of the date of the Companys year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The plan has used a measurement date of October 31. As of October 31, 2005, the Pension Plan was under funded $1.6 million. As of October 31, 2005 the Company had $759,000 of accrued employee retirement expense, therefore the effect on stockholders equity of implementing this statement will be approximately $585,000 net of tax effect. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006.
6
In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB No. 108 requires registrants to evaluate the materiality of unadjusted financial statement misstatements using both the rollover and iron curtain methods. The rollover method quantifies a misstatement based on the amount of the error originating in the current period statement of income. The iron curtain method quantifies a misstatement based on the effects of correcting the misstatement existing in the statement of financial condition at the end of the current period, irrespective of the misstatements year(s) of origination. SAB No. 108 is effective for years ending after November 15, 2006. The cumulative effect of the initial application on prior years is required to be reported as an adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the year of initial application. Management is studying the effects of SAB No. 108 on the Companys financial statements.
5. Comprehensive Income or Loss
Accounting principles generally require recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses to be included in net income or loss. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as the after-tax effect of unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, are not reflected in the statement of operations, but the cumulative effect of such items from period-to-period is reflected as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet (accumulated other comprehensive income). Other comprehensive income, along with net income or loss, comprises the Companys total comprehensive income or loss.

7. Employee Stock Ownership Plan
The company contributed funds to a subsidiary, Chicopee Funding Corporation, to enable it to make a 20-year loan to the employee stock ownership plan to enable it to purchase shares of the Company common stock as part of the completion of the initial public offering. On July 19, 2006, at the completion of the initial public offering the ESOP purchased 595,149 shares, or 8% of the 7,439,368 shares outstanding from the initial public offering. The Board of Directors elected to fund a full years payments on this loan in 2006. This plan is a tax-qualified retirement plan for the benefit of all Company employees.
At September 30, 2006, the principal balance on the ESOP debt is payable as follows:

The Bank has committed to make contributions to the ESOP sufficient to support the debt service of the loan. The loan is secured by the shares purchased, which are held in a suspense account allocated among the participants as the loan is repaid. Cash dividends paid on allocated shares are distributed to participants and cash dividends paid on unallocated shares are used to repay the outstanding debt of the ESOP. As of September 30, 2006 all shares were unallocated.
Unearned ESOP shares are not considered outstanding for calculating net income per common share and are presented as unallocated common shares held by the ESOP, as a reduction in stockholders equity in the statement of financial condition. As ESOP shares are earned by the participants, the Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair value of the earned ESOP shares. The total fair value of the unallocated shares as of September 30, 2006 was $8.8 million.
8. Income Tax
The Company donated common stock in the amount of $5.5 million to the Chicopee Savings Bank Charitable Foundation, which resulted in a tax benefit of $1.9 million. As of September 30, 2006 a valuation allowance of $540,000 has been established against deferred tax assets related to the uncertain utilization of the charitable contribution carryforward created primarily by the donation to the Chicopee Savings Bank Charitable Foundation as part of the conversion. The judgments applied by management consider the likelihood that sufficient taxable income will be realized within the carryforward period in light of our tax planning strategies and changes in the market conditions.

General
Chicopee Bancorp, a Massachusetts corporation, was formed on March 14, 2006 by Chicopee Savings Bank to become the holding company for the Bank upon completion of the Banks conversion from a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank and Chicopee Bancorps initial public offering. The conversion and the offering was completed on July 19, 2006.
Chicopee Savings Bank is a community-oriented financial institution dedicated to serving the financial services needs of consumers and businesses within its market area. We attract deposits from the general public and use such funds to originate primarily one- to four-family residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans and commercial loans. To a lesser extent, we originate multi-family loans, construction loans and consumer loans. At September 30, 2006, we operated out of our main office and six offices in Chicopee, West Springfield and Ludlow, Massachusetts.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005
The Companys assets expanded $54.4 million, or 13.9%, to $445.7 million at September 30, 2006 as compared to $391.3 million at December 31, 2005, primarily as a result of net subscription proceeds of $67.0 million. Total net loans rose $26.7 million, or 8.5%, to $342.4 million at September 30, 2006 primarily as a result of solid loan origination activity, partially offset by refinancing and prepayment activity and amortization in the existing portfolio. Federal funds sold balances increased $16.4 million from subscription proceeds.
The balance sheet expansion was funded primarily by the subscription proceeds. Core deposits, which exclude certificates of deposit, decreased $6.0 million, or 4.6%, to $126.1 million at September 30, 2006 from $132.1 million at December 31, 2005 largely as a result of transfers to higher paying certificate accounts. Borrowings decreased $13.4 million, or 45.7%, to $16.0 million at September 30, due to cash generated by the public offering. Certificates of deposit balances grew $13.1 million, or 8.0%, to $176 million at September 30, 2006 principally from special deposit promotions.
Total stockholders equity increased $64.1 million, or 147.5%, to $107.5 million at September 30, 2006. This increase was due to the conversion, resulting in net proceeds of $67.0 million (including the contribution to the ESOP).
Lending Activities
At September 30, 2006, the Companys net loan portfolio was $342.4 million, or 76.8% of total assets. The following table sets forth the composition of the Companys loan portfolio in dollar amounts and as a percentage of the respective portfolio at the dates indicated.

The Companys net loan portfolio grew $26.7 million, or 8.5%, during the first nine months of 2006 largely reflecting growth in construction and commercial real estate loans of $11.3 million or 63.5% and $10.3 million or 9.3%, respectively. The Companys level of loan originations was strong as a result of several factors including sales activities, a strong housing market and a stable local economy.

Allowance for Loan Losses
Management prepares a loan loss sufficiency analysis on a quarterly basis. The allowance for loan losses is maintained through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to operations. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount that management considers adequate to cover estimated losses in the loan portfolio based on managements on-going evaluation of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio, consideration of local and regional trends in delinquency and impaired loans, the amount of charge-offs and recoveries, the volume of loans, changes in risk selection, credit concentrations, existing loan-to-value ratios, national and regional economies and the real estate market in the Companys primary lending area. Management believes that the current allowance for loan losses is sufficient to cover losses inherent in the current loan portfolio. The Companys loan loss allowance determinations also incorporate factors and analyses which consider the principal loss associated with the loan. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
12
The allowance for loan losses is based on managements estimate of the amount required to reflect the potential inherent losses in the loan portfolio, based on circumstances and conditions known or anticipated at each reporting date. There are inherent uncertainties with respect to the collectibility of the Banks loans and it is reasonably possible that actual losses experienced in the near term may differ from the amounts reflected in this report.
The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is determined using a consistent, systematic methodology which analyzes the size and risk of the loan portfolio. In addition to evaluating the collectibility of specific loans when determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management also takes into consideration other factors such as changes in the mix and the volume of the loan portfolio, historic loss experience, amount of the delinquencies and loans adversely classified, and economic trends. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is assessed by the allocation process whereby specific loss allocations are made against certain adversely classified loans, and general loss allocations are made against segments of the loan portfolio which have similar attributes. The Banks historical loss experience, industry trends, and the impact of the local and regional economy on the Banks borrowers, were considered by management in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

The Company used cash flows from public offering to fund investment purchases primarily in equities and short term agencies. Securities available-for-sale increased $1.7 million, or 34.4%, to $6.4 million at September 30, 2006 primarily due to purchases of equity securities. Held-to-maturity securities increased $3.3 million or 11.0% to $32.7 million as the Company purchased short term agencies totaling $54.2 million. These purchases were partially offset by security maturities and principal payments amounting to $51.8 million and net premium amortization of $6,866.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
General
Net income decreased $4.0 million, to a net loss of $3.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 compared to $409,000 for the same quarter last year. The net loss for the third quarter 2006 was a result of the charitable contribution the Company made to the Chicopee Savings Bank Charitable Foundation with Company common stock in the amount of $5.5 million. The loss from the charitable contribution was partially offset by an increase in interest income of $1.4 million or 23.7%, primarily due to growth in average loans, somewhat offset by higher provision for loan losses.
Analysis of Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends on the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them.
The following table sets forth average balances, interest income and expense and yields earned or rates paid on the major categories of assets and liabilities for the periods indicated. The average yields and costs are derived by dividing interest income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively. The yields and costs are annualized. Average balances are derived from average daily balances. The yields and costs include fees which are considered adjustments to yields. Loan interest and yield data does not include any accrued interest from nonaccruing loans.

The following table presents the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Companys tax equivalent interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to: (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate); (ii) changes attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume); and (iii) the net change. The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Net interest income, increased $783,000, or 27.0%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2005, mainly driven by growth in average interest-earning assets, partially offset by higher provision for loan losses. Net interest margin expanded 36 basis points to 3.60% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable period in 2005 primarily resulting from increased interest-earning assets, partially mitigated by a higher cost of funds.
Interest and dividend income, on a tax equivalent basis, rose $1.1 million, or 23.7%, to $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $4.8 million for the same period last year, largely reflecting growth in average interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets totaled $406.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $356.6 million for the same period last year, an increase of $50.1 million, or 14.1%. Average loans increased $33.9 million, or 11.2%, primarily due to strong originations. Average investment securities expanded $12.8 million, or 36.1%, principally reflecting purchases of agencies with proceeds from the initial public offering. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 46 basis points to 5.82% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, principally as a result of higher market rates of interest. The higher interest rate environment led to a decrease in the levels of loan prepayment and refinancing volume.
Total interest expense increased $358,000, or 18.6%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $1.9 million for the same period in 2005, resulting primarily from increased rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $12.1 million, or 3.9%, to $299.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $311.2 million for the comparable period in 2005 reflecting slight decrease in interest-bearing deposits and a decrease in FHLB advances. Rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities rose 57 basis points to 3.03% for the third quarter of 2006, largely reflecting the higher market interest rates. The higher interest rate environment led to an increase in rates paid for new certificates of deposit and borrowings as well as the repricing of a portion of the Companys outstanding certificates of deposit.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses increased $45,000 to $75,000 in the third quarter of 2006 compared to $30,000 for the same period in 2005 primarily due to loan growth. In addition, management assessed the continued growth of the loan portfolio, particularly the increases in commercial real estate loans, construction loans and commercial business loans. The allowance for loan losses is maintained through provisions for loan losses.
Non-interest Income
Total non-interest income declined $50,000, or 11.6%, to $380,000 for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $430,000 for the same period in 2005. Fee income increased $44,000, or 13.7%, to $365,000 in the third quarter of 2006 from $321,000 for the comparable period in 2005 reflecting increase in ATM fee income. Investment commissions totaled $48,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $31,000 in the third quarter of 2005, an increase of $17,000, or 54.8%, mainly resulting from new customers gained as a result of successful business development efforts. Loan sales and servicing income declined $25,000 or 92.6% to $2,000 from $27,000 for the same period in 2005. The Bank did not sell loans during the third quarter 2006 as compared to loan sales of $2.4 million for the third quarter 2005. The gain on sales of available-for-sale securities decreased $69,000 or 84.1% to $13,000 due to reduced number of sales.
Non-interest Expenses
Non-interest expenses increased $6.0 million, or 222.0%, to $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2005 largely attributable to the Companys common stock contribution in the amount of $5.5 million to Chicopee Savings Charitable Foundation as part of the mutual to stock conversion. In addition salaries and benefits expenses rose $277,000, or 18.7%, to $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2006 reflecting additional staffing costs to support the requirements of a public company, standard wage increases and increased benefit costs associated with the Companys implementation of the Banks ESOP in the third quarter 2006.
18
Income Taxes
The Companys income tax expense decreased $1.3 million, or 647.7%, to a tax benefit of $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to a tax expense of $193,000 in 2005 primarily attributable to the tax benefit of $1.9 million received when the Company donated common stock in the amount of $5.5 million to the Chicopee Savings Bank Charitable Foundation. As of September 30, 2006 a valuation allowance of $540,000 has been established against deferred tax assets related to the uncertain utilization of the charitable contribution carryforward created primarily by the donation to the Chicopee Savings Charitable Foundation as part of the conversion. The judgments applied by management consider the likelihood that sufficient taxable income will be realized within the carryforward period in light of our tax planning strategies and changes in the market conditions.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
General
Net income decreased $4.1 million, or 352.5%, to a net loss of $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to net income of $1.2 million for the same period last year. The net loss for the first nine month of 2006 was a result of the charitable contribution of Company common stock in the amount of $5.5 million the Company made to the Chicopee Savings Bank Charitable Foundation. The loss from the charitable contribution was partially offset by a increase in net interest income of $1.2 million and an increase in non-interest income of $92,000.
Analysis of Net Interest Income
The following table sets forth average balances, interest income and expense and yields earned or rates paid on the major categories of assets and liabilities for the periods indicated. The average yields and costs are derived by dividing interest income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively. The yields and costs are annualized. Average balances are derived from average daily balances. The yields and costs include fees which are considered adjustments to yields. Loan interest and yield data does not include any accrued interest from nonaccruing loans.

Net interest income increased $1.2 million, or 13.7%, to $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $8.8 million for the same period in 2005, mainly driven by growth in average interest-earning assets, partially offset by higher cost of deposits. Net interest margin grew 4 basis points to 3.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from the comparable period in 2005 primarily resulting from increased yields on interest-earning assets, somewhat mitigated by a higher cost of funds.
Total interest and dividend income, on a tax equivalent basis, rose $2.8 million, or 20.0%, to $16.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $13.8 million for the same period last year, largely reflecting growth in average interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets totaled $381.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $340.3 million for the same period last year, an increase of $41.1 million, or 12.1%. Average loans increased $32.0 million, or 10.8%, primarily due to strong origination. Average investment securities expanded $7.3 million, or 21.7%, principally reflecting purchases of agencies. The yield on average interest-earning assets grew 38 basis points to 5.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, principally as a result of higher market rates of interest. The higher interest rate environment led to reduced levels of loan prepayment and refinancing volume. In addition, a portion of the Companys existing interest-sensitive assets repriced to increased rates.
Total interest expense increased $1.6 million, or 31.1%, to $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $5.0 million for the same period in 2005, resulting primarily from increased rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities. Rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities increased 56 basis points to 2.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, largely reflecting higher market interest rates. The higher interest rate environment led to an increase in rates paid for new deposits and borrowings as well as the repricing of a portion of the Companys outstanding deposits. Average interest-bearing liabilities rose $15.4 million, or 5.2%, to $313.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $297.8 million for the comparable period in 2005 reflecting solid growth in interest-bearing deposits and an increase in FHLB advances to fund balance sheet expansion.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses increased $245,000 to $335,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $90,000 for the same period in 2005 primarily due to an increase in classified loans since December 31, 2005 and an increase in charge offs totaling $127,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to net charge-offs of $17,000 in 2005. These items were partially offset by a decrease in non-performing loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. In addition, management assessed the continued growth of the loan portfolio, particularly the increases in commercial real estate loans, construction loans and commercial business loans. The allowance for loan losses is maintained through provisions for loan losses.
Non-interest Income
Total non-interest income increased $92,000, or 7.6%, to $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2005. Fee income increased $168,000, or 17.2%, to $1.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $978,000 for the comparable period in 2005 reflecting expansion in deposits. Investment commissions totaled $174,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $81,000 in the same period last year, an increase of $93,000, or 114.8%, mainly resulting from new customers gained as a result of successful business development efforts. Net gain on sales of available-for-sale securities decreased $141,000 to $31,000 for the first nine months of 2006 due to reduced number of sales in 2006 as well as a decline in the stock prices.
22
Non-interest Expenses
Non-interest expenses increased $6.4 million, or 77.8%, to $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $8.2 million in the same period in 2005 principally attributable to the Companys contribution of common stock in the amount of $5.5 million to the Chicopee Savings Bank Charitable Foundation as part of the mutual to stock conversion as well as higher salaries and benefits costs. Salaries and benefits expenses rose $487,000, or 10.8%, to $5.0 million for nine months ended September 30, 2006 reflecting additional staffing costs to support the requirements of a public company, standard wage increases and increased benefit costs associated with the Companys implementation of the Banks ESOP in the third quarter 2006. Stationary, supplies and postage expenses fell $24,000, or 9.2%, to $236,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 largely resulting from a reduction in office supplies of $38,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Income Taxes
The Companys income tax expense decreased $1.3 million, or 238.8%, to a tax benefit of $737,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to a tax expense of $531,000 in 2005 primarily attributable to the tax benefit of $1.9 million received when the Company donated common stock in the amount of $5.5 million to the Chicopee Savings Bank Charitable Foundation. As of September 30, 2006 a valuation allowance of $540,000 has been established against deferred tax assets related to the uncertain utilization of the charitable contribution carryforward created primarily by the donation to the Chicopee Savings Charitable Foundation as part of the conversion. The judgments applied by management consider the likelihood that sufficient taxable income will be realized within the carryforward period in light of our tax planning strategies and changes in the market conditions.
Liquidity Management.
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Prepayment rates can have a significant impact on interest income. Because of the large percentage of loans we hold, rising or falling interest rates have a significant impact on the prepayment speeds of our earning assets that in turn affect the rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayments tend to slow. When interest rates fall, prepayments tend to rise. Our asset sensitivity would be reduced if prepayments slow and vice versa. While we believe these assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates will approximate actual loan repayment activity.
We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of: (1) expected loan demands; (2) expected deposit flows; (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy.
Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2006, cash and cash equivalents totaled $39.2 million. Total securities classified as available for sale were $7.0 million at September 30, 2006. In addition, at September 30, 2006, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $34.8 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. On September 30, 2006, we had $16.0 million of borrowings outstanding. Based on the current level of liquidity we do not anticipate any future FHLB borrowings at this time.
23
At September 30, 2006, we had $62.8 million in loan commitments outstanding, which consisted of $10.6 million of commercial loan commitments, $4.7 million of mortgage loan commitments, $17.4 million in unadvanced construction loan commitments, $7.2 million in unused home equity lines of credit and $22.9 million in commercial lines of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of September 30, 2006 totaled $108.4 million, or 38.4%, of our certificates of deposit. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before September 30, 2007. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
Capital Management.
We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At September 30, 2006, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements. We are considered well capitalized under regulatory guidelines.
The Companys and Banks actual capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are presented in the table.

We also manage our capital for maximum stockholder benefit. The capital from our recently completed stock offering significantly increased our liquidity and capital resources. Over time, the initial level of liquidity will be reduced, as net proceeds from the stock offering are used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of lending activities. Our financial condition and results of operation are expected to be enhanced by the capital from the stock offering, resulting in increased net interest-earning assets and net income. However, the large increase in equity resulting from the capital raised in the offering will, initially, have an adverse impact on our return on equity. We may use capital management tools such as cash dividends and common stock repurchases. However, under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations, we will not be allowed to repurchase any shares during the first year following the offering, except that stock repurchases of no greater than 5% of outstanding capital stock may be made during this one-year period where compelling and valid business reasons are established to the satisfaction of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, letters of credit and lines of credit. We currently have no plans to engage in hedging activities in the future.
For the period ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Qualitative Aspects of Market Risk.
We manage the interest rate sensitivity of our interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets in an effort to minimize the adverse effects of changes in the interest rate environment. Deposit accounts typically react more quickly to changes in market interest rates than mortgage loans because of the shorter maturities of deposits. As a result, sharp increases in interest rates may adversely affect our earnings while decreases in interest rates may beneficially affect our earnings. To reduce the potential volatility of our earnings, we have sought to improve the match between asset and liability maturities and rates, while maintaining an acceptable interest rate spread. Our strategy for managing interest rate risk emphasizes: adjusting the maturities of borrowings; adjusting the investment portfolio mix and duration; increasing our focus on shorter-term, adjustable-rate commercial and multi-family lending; selling fixed-rate mortgage loans; and periodically selling available-for-sale securities. We currently do not participate in hedging programs, interest rate swaps or other activities involving the use of derivative financial instruments.
We have an Asset/Liability Committee, which includes members of management, to communicate, coordinate and control all aspects involving asset/liability management. The committee reports to the Board of Trustees of the Bank quarterly and establishes and monitors the volume, maturities, pricing and mix of assets and funding sources with the objective of managing assets and funding sources to provide results that are consistent with liquidity, growth, risk limits and profitability goals.
Quantitative Aspects of Market Risk.
We analyze our interest rate sensitivity to manage the risk associated with interest rate movements through the use of interest income simulation. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are interest sensitive. An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period.
Our goal is to manage asset and liability positions to moderate the effects of interest rate fluctuations on net interest income. Interest income simulations are completed monthly and presented to the Asset/Liability Committee and Board of Trustees of the Bank. The simulations provide an estimate of the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income under a range of assumptions. The numerous assumptions used in the simulation process are reviewed by the Asset/Liability Committee and the Board of Trustees of the Bank on a quarterly basis. Changes to these assumptions can significantly affect the results of the simulation. The simulation incorporates assumptions regarding the potential timing in the repricing of certain assets and liabilities when market rates change and the changes in spreads between different market rates. The simulation analysis incorporates managements current assessment of the risk that pricing margins will change adversely over time due to competition or other factors.

Simulation analysis is only an estimate of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. We continually review the potential effect changes in interest rates could have on the repayment of rate sensitive assets and funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities.
The table below sets forth an approximation of our exposure as a percentage of estimated net interest income for the next 12 month period using interest income simulation. The simulation uses projected repricing of assets and liabilities at September 30, 2006 on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated repayments and scheduled rate adjustments. Prepayment rates can have a significant impact on interest income simulation. Because of the large percentage of loans we hold, rising or falling interest rates have a significant impact on the prepayment speeds of our earning assets that in turn affect the rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayments tend to slow. When interest rates fall, prepayments tend to rise. Our asset sensitivity would be reduced if prepayments slow and vice versa. While we believe such assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates will approximate future mortgage-backed security and loan repayment activity.
The following table reflects changes in estimated net interest income for the Bank at September 30, 2006 through September 30, 2007.

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