NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations – Westfield Financial, Inc. (“Westfield Financial,” “we” or “us”) is the bank holding company for Westfield Bank, a federally-chartered stock savings bank (the “Bank”).

The Bank’s deposits are insured to the limits specified by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank operates eleven branches in western Massachusetts and its primary sources of revenue are income from securities and earnings on loans to small and middle-market businesses and to residential property homeowners.

Elm Street Securities Corporation and WFD Securities Corporation, Massachusetts-chartered security corporations, were formed by Westfield Financial for the primary purpose of holding qualified securities. WB Real Estate Holdings, LLC, a Massachusetts-chartered limited liability company was formed for the primary purpose of holding real property acquired as security for debts previously contracted by the Bank.

Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Westfield Financial, the Bank, Elm Street Securities Corporation, WB Real Estate Holdings, LLC and WFD Securities Corporation. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of income and expenses for both at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, other-than-temporary impairment of securities, and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Basis of Presentation – In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial condition as of September 30, 2011, and the results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2011. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 Annual Report”).

Reclassifications - Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share represent income available to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by us relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method.

Earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 have been computed based on the following:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
	(In thousands, except per share data)

Net income applicable to common stock	$	1,494		$	699		$	4,345		$	1,667

Average number of common shares outstanding		27,778			28,891			27,979			29,341
Less: Average unallocated ESOP Shares		(1,328	)		(1,415	)		(1,349	)		(1,437	)
Less: Average ungranted equity incentive plan shares		(7	)		(44	)		(22	)		(44	)

Average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per common share		26,443			27,432			26,608			27,680

Effect of dilutive stock options		101			154			115			222

Average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per common share		26,544			27,586			26,723			28,082

Basic earnings per share	$	0.06		$	0.03		$	0.16		$	0.06

Diluted earnings per share	$	0.06		$	0.03		$	0.16		$	0.06

Stock options that would have an antidilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation. There were 1,662,227 and 1,630,758 shares that were antidilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and 1,576,024 and 1,559,357 shares that were antidilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

3. 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 are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income are components of comprehensive income.

The components of other comprehensive income and related tax effects are as follows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010
	(In thousands)

Unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale securities	$	23,238		$	6,156

Other-than-temporary impairment losses on available-for-sale securities charged to earnings		102			100

At September 30, 2011, four government-sponsored and U.S. government guaranteed mortgage-backed securities had gross unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 0.4% from our amortized cost basis existing for less than twelve months. At September 30, 2011, one government-sponsored enterprise obligation had gross unrealized loss with aggregate depreciation of 0.2% from our amortized cost basis existing for less than twelve months. At September 30, 2011, one municipal bond had gross unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 0.7% from our amortized cost basis existing for less than twelve months. These losses are the result of interest rates and not credit quality. Because we do not intend to sell the securities and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary.

At September 30, 2011, one mutual fund had a gross unrealized loss with aggregate depreciation of 3.2% from our cost basis existing for greater than twelve months and was principally related to fluctuations in interest rates. This loss relates to a mutual fund which invests primarily in short-term debt instruments and adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities. Because we do not intend to sell the security and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell it prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis, the loss is deemed temporary.

At September 30, 2011, one private label mortgage-backed securities had a gross unrealized loss of 22.0% from our amortized cost basis which existed for greater than twelve months. Management uses a third party on a quarterly basis that is experienced in analyzing private-label mortgage-backed securities to determine if credit losses existed for these securities. The third party incorporated a number of factors to estimate the performance and possible credit loss of the underlying assets. These factors include but are not limited to: loans in various stages of delinquency i.e. 30, 60, 90 days delinquent, loans in foreclosure, projected prepayment rates (10 voluntary prepayment rate), severity of loss on defaulted loans (60%), current levels of subordination, current credit enhancement (0.21%), vintage (2006), geographic location and projected default rates. As a result of this analysis, one private label mortgage-backed security was deemed to have other-than-temporary impairment loss as of September 30, 2011. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we had writedowns of $536,000 due to other-than-temporary impairment on mortgage-backed securities, of which $474,000 was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss and $62,000 was recognized as a credit loss and charged to income. We had no writedowns due to other-than-temporary impairment on mortgage backed securities during the three months ended September 30, 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we had writedowns of $576,000 due to other-than-temporary impairment on mortgage-backed securities, of which $474,000 was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss and $102,000 was recognized as a credit loss and charged to income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we had writedowns of $1.1 million due to other-than-temporary impairment on mortgage-backed securities, of which $971,000 was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss and $100,000 was recognized as a credit loss and charged to income.

The following table presents a roll-forward of the amount of credit losses on mortgage-backed securities for which a portion of other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in other comprehensive income:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we purchased residential real estate loans aggregating $52.5 million and $32.3 million, respectively.

We have transferred a portion of our originated commercial real estate loans to participating lenders. The amounts transferred have been accounted for as sales and are therefore not included in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We share ratably with our participating lenders in any gains or losses that may result from a borrower’s lack of compliance with contractual terms of the loan. We continue to service the loans on behalf of the participating lenders and, as such, collect cash payments from the borrowers, remit payments (net of servicing fees) to participating lenders and disburse required escrow funds to relevant parties. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we serviced loans for participants aggregating $5.3 million and $5.2 million, respectively.

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid balances of these loans totaled $3.2 million and $3.9 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Net service fee income of $2,000, and $3,000 was recorded for three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Net service fee income of $7,000, and $10,000 was recorded for nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Net service fee income is included in service charges and fees on the consolidated statements of income.

Loans are recorded at the principal amount outstanding, adjusted for charge-offs, unearned premiums and deferred loan fees and costs. Interest on loans is calculated using the effective yield method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding and is credited to income on the accrual basis to the extent it is deemed collectible. Our general policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest when principal or interest payments are delinquent 90 days or more based on the contractual terms of the loan, or earlier if the loan is considered impaired. Any unpaid amounts previously accrued on these loans are reversed from income. Subsequent cash receipts are applied to the outstanding principal balance or to interest income if, in the judgment of management, collection of the principal balance is not in question. Loans are returned to accrual status when they become current as to both principal and interest and perform in accordance with contractual terms for a period of at least six months, reducing the concern as to the collectability of principal and interest. Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net fee or cost is recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the estimated average lives of the related loans.

The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged-off against the allowance when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance consists of general and allocated components, as further described below.

General component

The general component of the allowance for loan losses is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors stratified by the following loan segments: residential real estate, commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and consumer. Management uses a rolling average of historical losses based on a time frame appropriate to capture relevant loss data for each loan segment. This historical loss factor is adjusted for the following qualitative factors: trends in delinquencies and nonperforming loans; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards and other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices; and national and local economic trends and industry conditions. There were no changes in our policies or methodology pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses during the periods presented for disclosure.

The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

Residential real estate – We require private mortgage insurance for all loans originated with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80 percent and do not grant subprime loans. All loans in this segment are collateralized by owner-occupied residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Home equity loans are secured by first or second mortgages on one-to-four family owner occupied properties.

Commercial real estate – Loans in this segment are primarily income-producing investment properties throughout New England. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties are adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by increased vacancy rates, which in turn, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Management obtains rent rolls and tax returns annually and continually monitors the cash flows of these loans.

Commercial and industrial loans – Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by assets of the business. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. A weakened economy, and resultant decreased consumer spending, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Consumer loans – Loans in this segment are generally unsecured and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.

Allocated component

The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. Impaired loans are identified by analysis of loan performance, internal credit ratings and watch list loans that management believes are subject to a higher risk of loss. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial real estate and commercial and industrial 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. An allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, we do not separately identify individual consumer and residential real estate loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are subject to a troubled debt restructuring agreement.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. We determine the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

No interest income was recognized for impaired loans on a cash-basis method during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010.

We may periodically agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, postponement or forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection. All TDRs are initially classified as impaired.

When we modify loans in a TDR, we evaluate any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, or use the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs for collateral dependent loans. If we determine that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance. In periods subsequent to modification, we evaluate all TDRs, including those that have payment defaults, for possible impairment and recognize impairment through the allowance.

Performing loans modified as troubled debt restructuring during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, segregated by class, are shown in the table below. The modifications reduced the interest rate and extended the interest-only period. Both loans were performing assets at the date of modification and remained on accrual status. No loans were modified as a TDR during the three months ended September 30, 2011. Nonperforming TDRs are shown as nonperforming assets.

	Number of Contracts		Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment		Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment
	(Dollars in thousands)
Troubled Debt Restructurings
Commercial Real Estate		1		$14,000		$14,000
Commercial and Industrial		1		1,000		1,000
Total		2		$15,000		$15,000

Default occurs when a loan is 90 days or more past due or transferred to nonaccrual and is within twelve months of restructuring. One residential real estate loan with a recorded investment of $120,000 defaulted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which was modified in the quarter ended December 31, 2010. No TDRs defaulted during the three months ended September 30, 2011. As of September 30, 2011, we have not committed to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans and leases that are classified as TDR’s. There were no charge-offs on TDRs during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Credit Quality Information

We utilize an eight-grade internal loan rating system for commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans as follows:

Loans rated 1 – 3: Loans in these categories are considered “Pass” rated loans with low to average risk.

Loans rated 4: Loans in this category are considered “Pass Watch,” which represent loans to borrowers with declining earnings, losses, or strained cash flow.

Loans rated 5: Loans in this category are considered “Special Mention.” These loans exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends and are being closely monitored by us.

Loans rated 6: Loans in this category are considered “Substandard.” Generally, a loan is considered substandard if the borrower exhibits a well-defined weakness that may be inadequately protected by the current net worth and cash flow capacity to pay the current debt.

Loans rated 7: Loans in this category are considered “Doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weakenesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable and that a partial loss of principal is likely.

Loans rated 8: Loans in this category are considered uncollectible (“Loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, we formally review the ratings on all commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. Construction loans are reported within commercial real estate loans and total $1.0 and $4.3 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. We engage an independent third-party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments on at least an annual basis. We use the results of these reviews as part of our annual review process.

The following table presents our loans by risk rating at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

	Residential 1-4 family		Home Equity		Commercial Real Estate		Commercial and Industrial		Consumer		Total

6. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Under our 2007 Recognition and Retention Plan and 2007 Stock Option Plan, we may grant up to 624,041 stock awards and 1,631,682 stock options, respectively, to our directors, officers, and employees.

Stock award allocations are recorded as unearned compensation based on the market price at the date of grant. Unearned compensation is amortized over the vesting period.

We may grant both incentive and non-statutory stock options. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of our stock on the date of grant with a maximum term of ten years. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the binomial option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010
Expected dividend yield		6.64	%		7.04	%
Expected volatility		34.19	%		35.83	%
Risk-free interest rate		3.12	%		2.48	%
Expected life	10 years			10 years

No stock options were granted during the three months ended September 30, 2011. All stock awards and stock options currently vest at 20% per year. At September 30, 2011, 6,941 stock awards and 56,232 stock options were available for future grants.

Our stock award and stock option plans activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is summarized below:

	Unvested Stock Awards Outstanding					Stock Options Outstanding
	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price

Outstanding at December 31, 2010		248,612		$	9.92		1,911,485		$	9.08

Outstanding at September 30, 2010		362,067		$	9.94		1,911,485		$	9.08

We recorded compensation cost related to the stock awards of $288,000 and $869,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $289,000 and $868,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 respectively.

We recorded compensation costs relating to stock options of $197,000 and $200,000 with related tax benefits of $51,000 and $53,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We recorded compensation costs relating to stock options of $596,000 and $598,000 with related tax benefits of $156,000 and $159,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

7. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT

We utilize short-term borrowings and long-term debt as an additional source of funds to finance our lending and investing activities and to provide liquidity for daily operations.

Short-term borrowings are made up of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances with an original maturity of less than one year as well as customer repurchase agreements, which have an original maturity of one day. Short-term borrowings issued by the FHLB were $35.5 million and $50.6 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Customer repurchase agreements were $20.0 million at September 30, 2011, and $12.3 million at December 31, 2010. A customer repurchase agreement is an agreement by us to sell to and repurchase from the customer an interest in specific securities issued by or guaranteed by the U.S. government. This transaction settles immediately on a same day basis in immediately available funds. Interest paid is commensurate with other products of equal interest and credit risk. All of our customer repurchase agreements at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were held by commercial customers.

Long-term debt consists of FHLB advances, securities sold under repurchase agreements and customer repurchase agreements with an original maturity of one year or more. At September 30, 2011, we had $160.6 million in long-term debt with the FHLB and $81.3 million in securities sold under repurchase agreements with an approved broker-dealer. This compares to $151.7 million in long-term debt with FHLB advances and $81.3 million in securities sold under repurchase agreements with an approved broker-dealer at December 31, 2010. Customer repurchase agreements were $5.3 million at September 30, 2011 and $5.2 million at December 31, 2010. The securities sold under agreements to repurchase are callable at the issuer’s option beginning in the year 2012.

All FHLB advances are collateralized by a blanket lien on our residential real estate loans and certain mortgage-backed securities.

8. PENSION BENEFITS

The following table provides information regarding net pension benefit costs for the periods shown:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
	(In thousands)
Service cost	$	247		$	233		$	742		$	698
Interest cost		223			193			668			580
Expected return on assets		(219	)		(196	)		(656	)		(587	)
Transition obligation		(3	)		(3	)		(8	)		(9	)
Actuarial loss		29			23			87			69
Net periodic pension cost	$	277		$	250		$	833		$	751

We maintain a pension plan for our eligible employees. We plan to contribute to the pension plan the amount required to meet the minimum funding standards under Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code. Additional contributions will be made as deemed appropriate by management in conjunction with the pension plan’s actuaries. We have not yet determined how much we expect to contribute to our pension plan in 2011. No contributions have been made to the plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

9. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Determination of Fair Value

We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument is 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. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for our 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.

Fair Value Hierarchy

We group our assets generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Methods and assumptions for valuing our financial instruments are set forth below. Estimated fair values are calculated based on the value without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument, possible tax ramifications or estimated transaction cost.

Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values based on the short-term nature of the assets.

Interest-bearing deposits in banks - The carrying amounts of interest-bearing deposits maturing within ninety days approximate their fair values. Fair values of other interest-bearing deposits are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current market rates for similar types of deposits.

Securities and mortgage-backed securities – Fair value of securities are primarily measured using unadjusted information from an independent pricing service. The securities measured at fair value in Level 1 are based on quoted market prices in an active exchange market. These securities include marketable equity securities. All other securities are measured at fair value in Level 2 and are based on pricing models that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, credit spreads and new issue data.

Federal Home Loan Bank and other stock - These investments are carried at cost which is their estimated redemption value.

Loans receivable - For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for other loans (e.g., commercial real estate and investment property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial 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. Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

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

Deposit liabilities - The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

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 our long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current incremental borrowing rates in the market for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Commitments to extend credit - Fair values for off-balance sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the term and credit risk. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. Such differences are not considered significant.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Total assets	$	5,288	$	637,179	$	-	$	642,467

Also, we may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other assets on a non-recurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related assets at September 30, 2011 and 2010. Total losses represent the change in carrying value as a result of fair value adjustments related to assets still held at September 30, 2011 and 2010.

	At						Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2011						September 30, 2011			September 30, 2011
							Total			Total
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Gains (Losses)			Gains (Losses)
	(In thousands)
Impaired loans	$	-	$	-	$	1,079	$	8		$	(240	)
Total assets	$	-	$	-	$	1,079	$	8		$	(240	)

Other real estate owned		-		-		276		-			(105	)

Total assets	$	-	$	-	$	1,957	$	(188	)	$	(1,156	)

The amount of loans represents the carrying value and related write-down and valuation allowance of impaired loans for which adjustments are based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on real estate appraisals performed by independent licensed or certified appraisers. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Management will discount appraisals as deemed necessary based on the date of the appraisal and new information deemed relevant to the valuation. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. The resulting losses were recognized in earnings through the provision for loan losses. Impaired loans with adjustments resulting from discounted cash flows or without a specific reserve are not included in this disclosure.

The amount of other real estate owned represents the carrying value of the collateral based on the appraised value of the underlying collateral using a market approach less selling costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, there were no fair value adjustments on other real estate owned.

There were no transfers to or from Level 1 and 2 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

We did not measure any liabilities at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis on the consolidated balance sheets.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time our entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. The estimated fair values of our financial instruments are as follows:

	September 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
	Carrying		Estimated		Carrying		Estimated
	Value		Fair Value		Value		Fair Value
	(In thousands)

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310), Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. This ASU requires an entity to provide disclosures that facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of (1) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s loan portfolio (2) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for loan and lease losses and (3) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses. For public entities, the disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. We have provided the required disclosures in Note 5. The disclosure requirement in this ASU pertaining to Troubled Debt Restructuring was deferred by ASU No. 2011-01 issued in January 2011.

In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-01, Receivables (Topic 310) Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in ASU No. 2010-20. The amendments in this ASU temporarily delay the effective date of disclosures about troubled debt restructurings as required by ASU No. 2010-20 for public entities in order to allow FASB to complete deliberations on what constitutes troubled debt restructuring.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310), A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. This ASU provides additional guidance to assist creditors in determining whether a restructuring of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and are to be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired. Early adoption is permitted. A provision in ASU 2011-02 also ends the FASB’s deferral of the additional disclosures about trouble debt restructurings as required by ASU 2010-20. We intend to adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required. We are evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. This update revises the criteria for assessing effective control for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The update will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, early adoption is prohibited, and the amendments will be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The ASU expands ASC 820’s disclosure requirements, particularly for Level 3 inputs, including (1) a quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions used, (2) a description of the valuation process in place and (3) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. The ASU is effective for the Company’s reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. As this ASU amends only the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This ASU amends the disclosure requirements for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (OCI) as part of the statement of changes in stockholder’s equity. Under the amended guidance, all changes in OCI are to be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The changes are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. There will be no impact to the consolidated financial results as the amendments relate only to changes in financial statement presentation.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Overview

We strive to remain a leader in meeting the financial service needs of the local community and to provide quality service to the individuals and businesses in the market areas that we have served since 1853. Historically, we have been a community-oriented provider of traditional banking products and services to business organizations and individuals, including products such as residential and commercial real estate loans, consumer loans and a variety of deposit products. We meet the needs of our local community through a community-based and service-oriented approach to banking.

We have adopted a growth-oriented strategy that has focused on increasing commercial lending. Our strategy also calls for increasing deposit relationships and broadening our product lines and services. We believe that this business strategy is best for our long-term success and viability, and complements our existing commitment to high-quality customer service. In connection with our overall growth strategy, we seek to:

·	grow our commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loan portfolios by targeting businesses in our primary market area and in northern Connecticut as a means to increase the yield on and diversify our loan portfolio and build transactional deposit account relationships;

·	focus on expanding our retail banking franchise and increase the number of households served within our market area; and

to supplement the commercial focus, grow the residential loan portfolio to diversify risk and deepen customer relationships. We will maintain our arrangement with a third-party mortgage company which assists in originating and servicing residential real estate loans. By doing this, we reduce the overhead costs associated with these loans.

You should read the following financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 in the context of this strategy.

Net income was $1.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, compared to $699,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the same period in 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net income was $4.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $1.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the same period in 2010.

The provision for loans losses was $15,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2010. The provision for loan losses was $529,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $8.5 million in the same period in 2010.The decreases in the provision for loan losses occurred because the 2010 periods included the reserve for and subsequent charge-off of $7.2 million on a single commercial real estate loan.

Net interest income increased $270,000 to $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $7.3 million for the same period in 2010. The net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.64% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 2.58% for the same period in 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net interest income increased $530,000 to $23.0 million, compared to $22.5 million for the same period in 2010. The net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.69% and 2.72% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND DECEMBER 31, 2010

Total assets increased $23.3 million to $1.3 billion at September 30, 2011. Securities decreased $14.4 million to $640.3 million at September 30, 2011 from $654.7 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease in securities was the result of using cash flow from securities to fund the loan portfolio as discussed below.

Net loans increased by $35.1 million to $537.5 million at September 30, 2011 from $502.4 million at December 31, 2010. The increase in net loans was primarily the result of an increase in residential real estate loans, which was partially offset by decreases in commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. Residential real estate loans increased $44.1 million to $192.9 million at September 30, 2011. Through our long standing relationship with a third-party mortgage company, we originated and purchased residential loans within and contiguous to our market area as a means of diversifying our loan portfolio and improving net interest income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we purchased $52.5 million of residential loans within and contiguous to our market area as a means of diversifying our loan portfolio and improve net interest income.

Commercial and industrial loans decreased $8.0 million to $127.2 million at September 30, 2011 from $135.3 million at December 31, 2010. Commercial real estate loans decreased $800,000 to $220.8 million at September 30, 2011 from $221.6 million at December 31, 2010. Owner occupied commercial real estate loans totaled $97.0 million at September 30, 2011 and $107.0 million at December 31, 2010, while non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans totaled $123.9 million at September 30, 2011 and $114.6 million at December 31, 2010.

All loans where the interest payment is 90 days or more in arrears as of the closing date of each month are placed on nonaccrual status. Nonperforming loans decreased $419,000 to $2.8 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2010. At September 30, 2011, nonperforming loans were primarily made up of three commercial relationships totaling $1.9 million. If all nonaccrual loans had been performing in accordance with their terms, we would have earned additional interest income of $240,000 and $167,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had $1.1 million and $223,000 in foreclosed real estate, respectively. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our nonperforming loans to total loans were 0.51% and 0.63%, respectively, while our nonperforming assets to total assets were 0.31% and 0.28%, respectively. A summary of our nonaccrual and past due loans by class are listed in Note 5 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Total deposits increased $20.2 million to $720.5 million at September 30, 2011, from $700.3 million at December 31, 2010. The increase in deposits was due to an increase in savings and money market accounts and checking accounts. Savings and money market accounts increased $38.3 million to $215.8 million at September 30, 2011, from $177.5 million at December 31, 2010. Checking accounts increased $13.1 million to $181.9 million at September 30, 2011, from $168.8 million at December 31, 2010. The increases in savings and money market accounts and checking accounts were primarily due to a relationship-based product set introduced in 2010 which continues to show growth in 2011. Time deposit accounts decreased $31.2 million to $322.8 million at September 30, 2011, from $354.0 million at December 31, 2010.

Short-term borrowings decreased $7.4 million to $55.5 million at September 30, 2011 from $62.9 million at December 31, 2010. Long-term debt increased $9.0 million to $247.2 million from $238.2 million at December 31, 2010. Our short-term borrowings and long-term debt are discussed in Note 7 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $229.8 million and $221.2 million, respectively, which represented 18.2% and 17.8% of total assets at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The increase in shareholders’ equity reflects an increase in other comprehensive income of $15.2 million primarily due to the change in market values of securities, net income of $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $2.2 million related to the recognition of share-based compensation and the exercise of 34,646 stock options. This was partially offset by the payment of regular and special dividends amounting to $8.8 million and the repurchase of 554,228 shares of our common stock at a cost of $4.5 million, pursuant to our current stock repurchase plan.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2010

General

Net income was $1.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to net income of $699,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the same period in 2010. Net interest and dividend income was $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $7.3 million for the same period in 2010.

Net Interest and Dividend Income

The following tables set forth the information relating to our average balance and net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and reflect the average yield on interest-earning assets and average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Yields and costs are derived by dividing interest income by the average balance of interest-earning assets and interest expense by the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods shown. The interest rate spread is the difference between the total average yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin represents tax-equivalent net interest and dividend income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Average balances are derived from actual daily balances over the periods indicated. Interest income includes fees earned from making changes in loan rates and terms and fees earned when the real estate loans are prepaid or refinanced. For analytical purposes, the interest earned on tax-exempt assets is adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis to recognize the income tax savings which facilities comparison between taxable and tax-exempt assets.

(1)	Securities, loan income and change in net interest and dividend income are presented on a tax-equivalent basis using a tax rate of 34%. The tax-equivalent adjustment is deducted from tax-equivalent net interest income.

Net interest and dividend income increased $270,000 to $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $7.3 million for the same period in 2010. Interest and dividend income, on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased $376,000 to $11.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $11.8 million for the same period in 2010. The net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.64% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 2.58% for the same period in 2010.

The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 18 basis points to 3.87% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from 4.05% for the same period in 2010. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased due to cash flows from their pay downs being subsequently reinvested in products having a lower yield, which is reflective of the current market rate environment. The decrease in average yield was partially mitigated by increases in the average balances of loans, which increased $57.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

The decrease in interest income was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense. Interest expense decreased $646,000 to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $4.2 million for the same period in 2010. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 31 basis points to 1.54% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from 1.85% for the same period in 2010. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in rates on time deposits.

Provision for Loan Losses

The amount that we provided for loan losses during the three months ended September 30, 2011 was based upon the changes that occurred in the loan portfolio during that same period. The changes in the loan portfolio, described in detail below, include a decrease in net loan charge-offs and commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans, partially offset by an increase in residential real estate loans. After evaluating these factors, we provided $15,000 for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2010. The allowance was $7.1 million at September 30, 2011 and $6.9 million at December 31, 2010. The allowance for loan losses was 1.30% of total loans at September 30, 2011 and 1.36% at December 31, 2010.

Net charge-offs were $1,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. This was comprised of charge-offs of $17,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, partially offset by recoveries of $16,000 for the same period.

Net charge-offs were $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This was comprised of charge-offs of $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, partially offset by recoveries of $17,000. The 2010 period included the reserve for and subsequent charge-off of $7.2 million on a single commercial real estate loan.

At September 30, 2011, commercial and industrial loans decreased $8.0 million to $127.2 million at September 30, 2011 from $135.3 million at December 31, 2010 while commercial real estate loans decreased $800,000 to $220.8 million at September 30, 2011 from $221.6 million at December 31, 2010. Residential real estate loans increased $44.1 million to $192.9 million compared to December 31, 2010. We consider these types of loans to contain less credit risk and market risk than both commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. A summary of our provision for loan losses by loan segment is listed in Note 5 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Although we believe that we have established and maintained the allowance for loan losses at adequate levels, future adjustments may be necessary if economic, real estate and other conditions differ substantially from the current operating environment.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased $2.5 million to $943,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2010. This was primarily due to a decrease in net gains on the sales of securities. Net gains on the sales of securities were $131,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to net gains of $2.6 million for the same period in 2010.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased $455,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $6.6 million from $6.2 million in the comparable 2010 period. Salaries and benefits increased $336,000 to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to normal salary and benefits increases.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we had a tax provision of $414,000 as compared to a tax benefit of $17,000 for the same period in 2010. The effective tax rate was 21.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2.5% for the same period in 2010. The change in effective tax rate from September 30, 2010 is due primarily to the effect of higher pre-tax income while maintaining the same level of tax-advantaged income such as BOLI and tax-exempt municipal obligations.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2010

General

Net income was $4.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $1.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the same period in 2010. Net interest and dividend income was $23.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and $22.5 million for the same period in 2010.

Net Interest and Dividend Income

The following tables set forth the information relating to our average balance and net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and reflect the average yield on interest-earning assets and average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Yields and costs are derived by dividing interest income by the average balance of interest-earning assets and interest expense by the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods shown. The interest rate spread is the difference between the total average yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin represents tax-equivalent net interest and dividend income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Average balances are derived from actual daily balances over the periods indicated. Interest income includes fees earned from making changes in loan rates and terms and fees earned when the real estate loans are prepaid or refinanced.

The net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 2.72% for the same period in 2010.

The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 26 basis points to 3.94% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from 4.20% for the same period in 2010. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased due to cash flows from their pay downs being subsequently reinvested in products having a lower yield, which is reflective of the current market rate environment. The decrease in average yield was partially mitigated by increases in the average balances of loans, which increased $55.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The decrease in interest income was offset by a decrease in interest expense. Interest expense decreased $1.5 million to $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $12.6 million for the same period in 2010. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 32 basis points to 1.60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from 1.92% for the same period in 2010. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in rates on time deposits.

Provision for Loan Losses

The amount that we provided for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was based upon the changes that occurred in the loan portfolio during that same period. The changes in the loan portfolio, described in detail below, include a decrease in net loan charge-offs and commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans, partially offset by an increase in residential real estate loans. After evaluating these factors, we provided $529,000 for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $8.5 million for the same period in 2010. The allowance was $7.1 million at September 30, 2011 and $6.9 million at December 31, 2010. The allowance for loan losses was 1.30% of total loans at September 30, 2011 and 1.36% at December 31, 2010.

Net charge-offs were $376,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This was comprised of charge-offs of $633,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, partially offset by recoveries of $257,000 for the same period.

Net charge-offs were $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This was comprised of charge-offs of $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, partially offset by recoveries of $56,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a total of $7.2 million was charged off on a single commercial real estate loan.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased $3.7 million to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $6.4 million for the same period in 2010. This was primarily due to a decrease in net gains on the sales of securities. Net gains on the sales of securities were $208,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to net gains of $3.9 million for the same period in 2010.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $19.6 million from $18.5 million in the comparable 2010 period. Salaries and benefits increased $780,000 to $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This was primarily the result of normal increases in salaries and benefits. Professional fees expenses increased $267,000 to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. These increases were partially offset by a $274,000 decrease in OREO expense. This was primarily due to write downs on foreclosed properties of $232,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, which did not reoccur in 2011.

Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we had a tax provision of $1.2 million as compared to $137,000 for the same period in 2010. The effective tax rate was 21.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 7.6% for the same period in 2010. The change in effective tax rate from September 30, 2010 is due primarily to the higher pre-tax income while maintaining the same level of tax-advantaged income such as BOLI and tax-exempt municipal obligations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The term “liquidity” refers to our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to fund loan originations, loan purchases, withdrawals of deposits and operating expenses. Our primary sources of liquidity are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal and mortgage-backed securities, maturities and calls of securities and funds provided by operations. We also can borrow funds from the FHLB based on eligible collateral of loans and securities. Our maximum additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB at September 30, 2011 was $97.1 million.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. The measure of a company’s liquidity is its ability to meet its cash commitments at all times with available cash or by conversion of other assets to cash at a reasonable price. Loan repayments and maturing securities are a relatively predictable source of funds. However, deposit flow, calls of securities and repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities are strongly influenced by interest rates, general and local economic conditions and competition in the marketplace. These factors reduce the predictability of the timing of these sources of funds. Management believes that we have sufficient liquidity to meet its current operating needs.

At September 30, 2011, we exceeded each of the applicable regulatory capital requirements. As of September 30, 2011, the most recent notification from the Office of (Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC") categorized us as “well-capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well-capitalized” we must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes would change our category. Our actual capital ratios of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are also presented in the following table.

We also have outstanding, at any time, a significant number of commitments to extend credit and provide financial guarantees to third parties. These arrangements are subject to strict credit control assessments. Guarantees specify limits to our obligations. Because many commitments and almost all guarantees expire without being funded in whole or in part, the contract amounts are not estimates of future cash flows. We are obligated under leases for certain of our branches and equipment. A summary of contractual obligations and credit commitments at September 30, 2011 follows:

REGULATORY ORDER

On April 28, 2011, the board of directors of the Bank stipulated and consented to an Order to Cease and Desist (the “Order”) issued by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) prior to its abolishment on July 21, 2011. The power and duties of the OTS were transferred to the OCC for savings banks and other thrifts. The Order was issued as a result of findings identified in the course of a regular examination of the Bank relating to non-compliance with certain laws and regulations, including the Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering. The Bank has responded to the OTS indicating the actions taken, or to be taken, to address the matters specified in the Order.
