CHICOPEE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
At and for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007
1. | Basis of Presentation |
Chicopee Bancorp, Inc. (the Corporation) has no significant assets other than all of the outstanding shares of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Chicopee Savings Bank (the Bank) and Chicopee Funding Corporation (collectively, the Company). The Corporation was formed on March 14, 2006 by the Bank to become the holding company for the Bank upon completion of the Banks conversion from a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank. The conversion of the Bank was completed on July 19, 2006. The accounts of the Bank include both of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of June 30, 2007 and for the periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows, as of and for the periods covered herein, have been made. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The results for the three and six months interim periods covered hereby are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.
2. | Earnings Per Share |
Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the 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 June 30, 2007, the Company did have an approved stock-based compensation plan which had no options issued or outstanding. As of July 26, 2007, the Company granted stock options and stock awards under the Companys 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. The total number of options granted under the plan is 743,936, at a fair value of $3.92 per option. The exercise price of each stock option is equivalent to the fair value of the stock at the date of grant of $14.29 per share. The total number of awards granted under the plan are 297,574 at a fair value $14.29 per share. All options and awards will be expensed over there vesting period of 5 years.

3. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a companys financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transitions. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48. The implementation of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
The Companys income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 are open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service. The December 31, 2005 income tax return was audited and there were no changes. The Companys policy is to record interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its income tax expense. The Company has no penalties and interest recorded for the six month period ended June 30, 2007.
In March 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets-an Amendment to FASB Statement No. 140. SFAS No. 156 requires mortgage servicing rights associated with loans originated and sold, where servicing is retained, to be initially capitalized at fair value and subsequently accounted for using either the fair value method or the amortization method. The Company is using the amortization method for subsequent reporting. Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Fair value is based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Projected prepayments on the portfolio are estimated using the Public Securities Association Standard Prepayment Model. All assumptions are adjusted periodically to reflect current circumstances. SFAS No. 156 was effective January 1, 2007. Implementation of SFAS No. 156 did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
6
In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on an instrument by instrument basis. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability. Subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. SFAS No. 159 contains provisions to apply the fair value option to existing eligible financial instruments at the date of adoption. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year after November 15, 2007, with provisions for early adoption. The Company is in the process of analyzing the impact of SFAS No. 159.
4. | 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 income, but the cumulative effect of such items from period-to-period is reflected as a separate component of the equity section of the statement of financial condition (accumulated other comprehensive income). Other comprehensive income or loss, along with net income or loss, comprises the Companys total comprehensive income or loss.
Comprehensive income is comprised of the following:

As of November 14, 2006, the Board of Directors agreed to terminate the Pension Plan effective January 31, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, the Bank had an accrued liability of $781,000 which will be equitably distributed to all eligible employees who were active when the plan terminated.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identified by use of the words believe, expect, intend, anticipate, estimate, project or similar expressions. The Companys ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company include, but are not limited to: changes in interest rates, general economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in the Companys market area and accounting principles and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
The Company does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
General
Chicopee Savings Bank is a community-oriented financial institution dedicated to serving the financial services needs of consumers and businesses within its market area. We attract deposits from the general public and use such funds to originate primarily one- to four-family residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans and commercial loans. To a lesser extent, we originate multi-family loans, construction loans and consumer loans. At June 30, 2007, we operated out of our main office and six offices in Chicopee, West Springfield and Ludlow, Massachusetts.

The Companys assets grew $19.0 million, or 4.2%, to $469.1 million at June 30, 2007 as compared to $450.0 million at December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of an increase in loans of $7.3 million as well as an increase in federal funds sold of $6.8 million. Total net loans increased to $376.3 million from $369.0 million as of December 31, 2006, with one-to-four family loans increasing $2.9 million, or 2.03%, construction loans increasing $2.4 million, or 5.83% and consumer loans increasing $1.7 million, or 6.77%. The increase in federal funds sold was primarily due to an increase in deposits of $17.2 million offset by the loan growth.
The balance sheet expansion was funded primarily by an increase in deposits of $17.2 million. Core deposits, which exclude certificates of deposit, increased $6.8 million, or 5.66%, to $126.8 million at June 30, 2007 from $120.0 million at December 31, 2006 largely as a result of aggressive deposit pricing. Borrowings decreased $1.2 million, or 7.55%, to $14.1 million at June 30, 2007 due to principal payments. Certificates of deposit balances grew $10.4 million, or 5.41%, to $202.0 million at June 30, 2007 principally from special promotions.
9
Total stockholders equity increased $1.3 million, or 1.18%, to $109.7 million at June 30, 2007 over December 31, 2006, resulting mainly from net income from the period.
Lending Activities
At June 30, 2007, the Companys net loan portfolio was $376.3 million, or 80.21% 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.

Allowance for Loan Losses
Management prepares a loan loss 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 appropriate 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 appropriate 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.
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 loss experience in the near term may differ from the amounts reflected in this report.
11
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 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 allowance for loan losses.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
General
Net income increased $201,000, to $590,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to $389,000 for the same quarter last year. The increase in net income for the second quarter 2007 was a result of an increase in interest income of $1.2 million or 22.29%, primarily due to growth in average loans, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $740,000 or 33.54%, due to an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities.
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.

Net interest income, increased $467,000, or 14.55%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2006, mainly driven by growth in average interest-earning assets. Net interest margin decreased 4 basis points to 3.42% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from the comparable period in 2006 primarily resulting from a higher cost of funds, partially mitigated by an increase in interest-earning assets.
Interest and dividend income, on a tax equivalent basis, rose $1.2 million, or 22.05%, to $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $5.4 million for the same period last year, largely reflecting growth in average interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets totaled $432.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $374.0 million for the same period last year, an increase of $58.5 million, or 15.65%. Average loans increased $46.6 million, or 14.29%, primarily due to strong originations. Average investment securities expanded $8.4 million, or 22.91%, principally reflecting purchases of agencies. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 33 basis points to 6.15% for the three months ended June 30, 2007, 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 $740,000, or 33.54%, to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.2 million for the same period in 2006, resulting primarily from increased rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $8.3 million, or 2.64%, to $323.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $314.7 million for the comparable period in 2006 reflecting an increase in interest-bearing deposits and a decrease in FHLB advances. Rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities rose 85 basis points to 3.66% for the second quarter of 2007, largely reflecting the higher market interest rates. The higher interest rate environment led to an increase in rates paid for new certificates of deposit as well as the repricing of a portion of the Companys outstanding certificates of deposit.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses increased $3,000 to $113,000 in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $110,000 for the same period in 2006. The increase in provision for loan losses was due to an increase in net loans. 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 $350,000, or 78.48%, to $796,000 for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $446,000 for the same period in 2006. Fee income increased $112,000, or 28.64%, to $503,000 in the second quarter of 2007 from $391,000 for the comparable period in 2006 reflecting an increase in investment commissions and ATM fees. Investment commissions totaled $122,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $58,000 in the second quarter of 2006, an increase of $64,000, or 110.34%, mainly resulting from new customers gained as a result of successful business development efforts. ATM fee income increased $22,000 to $92,000 from $70,000 for the same period in 2006. Loan sales and servicing income declined $44,000 or 100.00% from the same period in 2006. The Bank did not sell loans during the second quarter of 2007. The gain on sales of available-for-sale securities increased $282,000 to $293,000 due to sales of available-for-sale securities.
Non-interest Expenses
Non-interest expenses increased $473,000, or 15.82%, to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2006. This was largely attributable to an increase in salaries and benefits expense of $347,000, or 21.31%, to $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2007 reflecting additional staffing costs to support the requirements of a public company, standard wage increases and increased benefit costs associated with the Banks ESOP. Other non-interest expenses increased $95,000 or 15.13%, to $723,000 for the three month ended June 30, 2007 compared to $628,000 for the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in legal fees of $25,000 for expenses associated with being a public company as well as an increase in consulting cost of $21,000 for costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance.
17
Income Taxes
The Companys income tax expense increased $140,000, or 83.64%, to $308,000 for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $168,000 in 2006 due to an increase in income before taxes. The Companys combined federal and state effective tax rate was 34.3%, up slightly from 30.2% for the same period in 2006, due primarily to an increase in income.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
General
Net income increased $417,000, or 57.36%, to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $727,000 for the same period last year. The increase in income for the first six months of 2007 was a result of an increase in net interest income of $929,000 and an increase in non-interest income of $602,000, partially off-set by an increase in non-interest expense of $867,000 as well as an increase in income tax expense of $297,000.
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 $929,000, or 14.80%, to $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $6.3 million for the same period in 2006, mainly driven by growth in average interest-earning assets, partially offset by higher cost of deposits. Net interest margin declined 5 basis points to 3.40% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from the comparable period in 2006 primarily resulting from increased cost of funds, mitigated by higher yields on interest-earning assets.
Total interest and dividend income, on a tax equivalent basis, rose $2.4 million, or 22.97%, to $13.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $10.6 million for the same period last year, largely reflecting growth in average interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets totaled $429.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $368.5 million for the same period last year, an increase of $60.6 million, or 16.44%. Average loans increased $48.4 million, or 15.02%, primarily due to strong origination. Average investment securities increased $6.8 million, or 18.32%, principally reflecting purchases of agencies. The yield on average interest-earning assets grew 33 basis points to 6.12% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, 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 $1.5 million, or 35.07%, to $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $4.3 million for the same period in 2006, resulting primarily from increased rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities. Rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities increased 92 basis points to 3.62% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, 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 $2.2 million, or 0.69%, to $322.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $320.3 million for the comparable period in 2006 reflecting growth in interest-bearing deposits and a decrease in FHLB advances
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses decreased $46,000 to $214,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $260,000 for the same period in 2006 primarily due to an decrease in classified loans since December 31, 2006 and a decrease in net charge offs totaling $43,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to net charge-offs of $54,000 in 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 $602,000 or 65.72%, to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $916,000 for the same period in 2006. Fee income increased $151,000, or 19.33%, to $932,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $781,000 for the comparable period in 2006 reflecting an increase in ATM fees and investment services commissions. ATM fees increased $53,000, or 44.51% to $171,000 compared to $119,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Investment commissions totaled $205,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 an increase from $126,000 in the same period last year, an increase of $79,000 or 62.30%, mainly resulting from new customers gained as a result of successful business development efforts. Net gain on sales of available-for-sale securities increased $570,000 to $588,000 for the six months of 2007 due to an increased number of sales in 2007 as well as a raise in the stock prices.
21
Non-interest Expenses
Non-interest expenses increased $867,000, or 14.73%, to $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $5.9 million in the same period in 2006 principally attributable to salaries and benefits expenses increasing $566,000, or 17.53%, to $3.8 million for six months ended June 30, 2007 reflecting additional staffing costs to support the requirements of a public company, standard wage increases and increased benefit costs associated the Banks ESOP. Other non-interest expenses increased $227,000, or 19.39%, to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 largely resulting from an increase in legal and consulting expenses which is associated with the increase cost of a public company.
Income Taxes
The Companys income tax expense increased $293,000, or 91.56%, to $613,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a tax expense of $320,000 in 2006 primarily attributable to an increase in income before taxes. The Companys combined federal and state effective tax rate was 34.9%, up slightly from 30.6% for the same period in 2006, due primarily to an increase in income.
Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
We believe that it is common practice in the banking industry to present interest income and related yield information on tax exempt securities on a tax-equivalent basis and that such information is useful to investors because it facilitates comparisons among financial institutions. However, the adjustment of interest income and yields on tax exempt securities to a tax equivalent amount may be considered to include non-GAAP financial information. A reconciliation to GAAP is provided below.

Liquidity Management
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Prepayment rates can have a significant impact on interest income. Because of the large percentage of loans we hold, rising or falling interest rates have a significant impact on the prepayment speeds of our earning assets that in turn affect the rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayments tend to slow. When interest rates fall, prepayments tend to rise. Our asset sensitivity would be reduced if prepayments slow and vice versa. While we believe these assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates will approximate actual loan repayment activity.
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 June 30, 2007, cash and cash equivalents totaled $24.8 million. Total securities classified as available for sale were $8.2 million at June 30, 2007. In addition, at June 30, 2007, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $107.7 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. On June 30, 2007, we had $14.1 million of borrowings outstanding. Based on the current level of liquidity we do not anticipate any future Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston borrowings at this time.
At June 30, 2007, we had $112.8 million in loan commitments outstanding, which consisted of $52.9 million of commercial loan commitments, $5.1 million of mortgage loan commitments, $20.2 million in unadvanced construction loan commitments, $7.4 million in unused home equity lines of credit and $27.2 million in commercial lines of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2007 totaled $134.7 million, or 66.71%, 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 June 30, 2008. 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 June 30, 2007, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements. The Bank is considered well capitalized under regulatory guidelines. The Company is subject to the Federal Reserve Boards capital adequacy guidelines for bank holding companies (on a consolidated basis) substantially similar to those of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company exceeded these requirements at June 30, 2007.

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
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 six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, 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 Directors of the Bank quarterly and establishes and monitors the volume, maturities, pricing and mix of assets and funding sources with the objective of managing assets and funding sources to provide results that are consistent with liquidity, growth, risk limits and profitability goals.
Quantitative Aspects of Market Risk
We analyze our interest rate sensitivity to manage the risk associated with interest rate movements through the use of interest income simulation. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are interest 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 Directors of the Bank. The simulations provide an estimate of the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income under a range of assumptions. The numerous assumptions used in the simulation process are reviewed by the Asset/Liability Committee and the Board of Directors of the Bank on a quarterly basis. Changes to these assumptions can significantly affect the results of the simulation. The simulation incorporates assumptions regarding the potential timing in the repricing of certain assets and liabilities when market rates change and the changes in spreads between different market rates. The simulation analysis incorporates managements current assessment of the risk that pricing margins will change adversely over time due to competition or other factors.
Simulation analysis is only an estimate of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. We continually review the potential effect changes in interest rates could have on the repayment of rate sensitive assets and funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities.
The table below sets forth an approximation of our exposure as a percentage of estimated net interest income for the next 12 month period using interest income simulation. The simulation uses projected repricing of assets and liabilities at June 30, 2007 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.
