CHICOPEE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
At and for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
 
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 and became the holding company for the Bank upon completion of the Bank’s 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 its wholly-owned subsidiaries and a 99% owned subsidiary.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2011 and for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 included herein are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows, as of and for the periods covered herein, have been made.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The results for the three and nine month interim periods ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.
 
2.     Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the adjusted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  The adjusted outstanding common shares equals the gross number of common shares issued less average treasury shares, unallocated shares of the Chicopee Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), and average dilutive restricted stock awards under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued.  Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and certain stock awards and are determined using the treasury stock method.

Earnings per share is computed as follows:
 
   
Three Months Ended September

3.     Equity Incentive Plan
 
Stock Options

Under the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) approved by the Company’s stockholders at the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders on May 30, 2007, the Company may grant options to directors, officers and employees for up to 743,936 shares of common stock. Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be granted under the Plan. The exercise price for each option is equal to the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and the maximum term of each option is ten years. The stock options vest over five years in five equal installments on each anniversary of the date of grant.

The Company recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period, based on the grant-date fair value of the options granted. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for options granted during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the nine months ended September 30, 2011:

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The Company uses historical data, such as option exercise and employee termination rates, to calculate the expected option life.

The Company granted 16,000 stock options in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 with a fair value of $3.41. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during 2009 and 2008 was $3.07 and $2.37, respectively. There were no options granted during 2010. The weighted average grant-date fair value of the options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2011 was $3.88 and $3.91, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, share based compensation expense applicable to options granted under the Plan was $308,000 and $316,000 and the related tax benefit was $66,000 and $64,000, respectively. During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, 2,000 stock options with an exercise price of $11.02 per share, and 300 stock options with an exercise price of $12.41 were exercised. As of September 30, 2011, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested options amounted to $415,000. This amount is expected to be recognized over a period of 1.39 years.

Stock Awards

Under the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may grant stock awards to its directors, officers and employees for up to 297,574 shares of common stock. The stock awards vest 20% per year beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The fair market value of the stock awards, based on the market price at the date of grant, is recorded as unearned compensation. Unearned compensation is amortized over the applicable vesting period. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock awards as of September 30, 2011 is $14.29. The Company recorded compensation cost related to stock awards of approximately $691,000 and $627,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Stock awards with a fair value of $651,000, and $777,000 have vested during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. No stock awards were granted prior to July 1, 2007. The Company granted 2,000 stock awards in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 with a grant price of $14.29. As of September 30, 2011, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards amounted to $652,000. This amount is expected to be recognized over a period of 0.96 years.

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock awards as of September 30, 2011, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, is as follows:

4.     Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Applicable to the Company)
 
In January 2010, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.  The guidance requires new disclosures regarding transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers.  Additionally, the guidance requires a rollforward of activities, separately reporting purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements, for assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements).  The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods that begin after December 15, 2009, and for interim periods within those annual reporting periods except for the changes to the disclosure of rollforward activities for any Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for annual reporting periods that begin after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those annual reporting periods.  Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. This ASU is intended to provide additional information to assist financial statement users in assessing an entity’s credit risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2010. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, Transfer and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.   This ASU removes from the assessment of effective control the criterion relating to the transferor’s ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee.  The guidance is effective for first interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2011.  The Company believes the adoption of this new guidance will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The new guidance clarifies when a loan modification or restructuring is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) in order to address current diversity in practice and lead to more consistent application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a TDR, a creditor must separately conclude that the restructuring constitutes a concession and the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. Additionally, the guidance clarifies that a creditor is precluded from using the effective interest rate test in the debtor’s guidance on restructuring of payables when evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a TDR. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011.  

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.  This ASU clarifies how to measure fair value, but does not require additional fair value measurement and is not intended to affect current valuation practices outside of financial reporting.  However, additional information and disclosure will be required for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, the sensitivity of a fair value measurement categorized as Level 3, and the categorization of items that are not measured at fair value by level of the fair value hierarchy.  The guidance is effective during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the clarifications provided in ASU No. 2011-04 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  This ASU will, “require that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income.” This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company believes the adoption of this new guidance will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the 2010 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the net income previously reported.

5.      Comprehensive Income or Loss

Accounting principles generally require recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses to be included in net income or loss.  Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as the after-tax effect of unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, are not reflected in the statement of operations, but the cumulative effect of such items from period-to-period is reflected as a separate component of the equity section of the statement of financial condition (accumulated other comprehensive income or loss).  Other comprehensive income or loss, along with net income or loss, comprises the Company's total comprehensive income or loss.

Comprehensive income is comprised of the following:

Unrealized Losses on Investment Securities

Management conducts, at least on a monthly basis, a review of its investment portfolio including available-for-sale and held-to-maturity (“HTM”) securities to determine if the value of any security has declined below its cost or amortized cost and whether such security is other-than-temporarily impaired (“OTTI”). Securities are evaluated individually based on guidelines established by the FASB and the internal policy of the Company and include but are not limited to: (1) intent and ability of the Company to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for the anticipated recovery in market value; (2) percentage and length of time which an issue is below book value; (3) financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; (4) whether the debtor is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments; (5) the volatility of the market price of the security; and (6) any other information and observable data considered relevant in determining whether other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, including the expectation of receipt of all principal and interest due.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, management determined that one equity security issued by a company in the financial industry had other-than-temporary impairment for which a charge was recorded in the amount of $13,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, management determined that there were no securities other-than-temporarily impaired.

U.S. Treasury Securities
Unrealized losses within the U.S. Treasury securities category at September 30, 2011, related to two U.S. Treasury securities of which all had losses for less than 12 months. At December 31, 2010, all had unrealized losses for less than 12 months. Management deemed these losses to be immaterial.

Collateralized Mortgage Obligations
As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no unrealized losses within the CMO portfolio. The portfolio ended the quarter with an unrealized gain of $138,000 compared to an unrealized gain of $200,000 at December 31, 2010.

Management reviews these securities on a regular basis for OTTI and considers if the issuer is an agency sponsored by the U.S. Government and whether downgrades by rating agencies have occurred. The Company reviews its CMO portfolio for OTTI similar to its OTTI analysis for its other securities, whereby it considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, whether the debtors are current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, the volatility of the market price of the security, and the Company’s intent and ability to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value or until maturity. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until maturity.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company has 15 CMO bonds, or 21 individual issues, with an aggregate book value of $2.5 million, which included five bonds, or six individual issues, with FICO scores less than 650. This risk is mitigated by loan-to-value ratios of less than 65%. The total exposure of these five bonds to the Company is $4,800. Since the purchase of these bonds, interest payments have been current and the Company expects to receive all principal and interest due.

These 15 CMO bonds have been substantially paid down with an average current factor of 13.0%, and are backed by well seasoned loans of an earlier vintage, which have not been significantly affected by high delinquency levels or vulnerable to lower collateral coverage as seen in later issued pools. All such CMOs are paying according to their contractual terms and are expected to continue to pay their contractual cash flows.

The Company’s remaining 10 CMO bonds are all investment grade and classified as HTM. All of these securities were issued by government sponsored agencies and are all collateralized primarily by AA+ rated Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) and Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) mortgage loans and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, are not collateralized by sub-prime or Alt-A loans. FHLMC and FNMA guarantees the contractual cash flows of these CMOs. The loans collateralizing such CMOs consist of fixed-rate, 15-year loans, originated in early 2003 and 2004, with average FICO scores between 727 and 766, and average LTV of 60%.

Based on management’s analysis, which included the above indicators, the Company has determined that no OTTI exists within the CMO portfolio as of September 30, 2011.

Marketable Equity Securities
Unrealized losses within the marketable equity securities category at September 30, 2011 related to eight securities issued by two companies in the financial industry.  In reviewing the marketable securities for OTTI, it was determined that the eight securities did not fail the Company’s OTTI test. Three securities issued by one company were in a loss position for four consecutive months and five securities issued by one company were in an unrealized gain position after aquisition with the exception of the stock price at the end of the third quarter. During the third quarter of 2011, none of the eight securities had losses for more than 12 months.

As of December 31, 2010, there were no unrealized losses within the equities portfolio.

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock have also been evaluated for impairment. FHLB stock is a non-marketable equity security and therefore is reported at cost, which equals par value. Shares held in excess of the minimum required amount are generally redeemable at par value. However, in the first quarter of 2009 the FHLB announced a moratorium on such redemptions in order to preserve its capital in response to current market conditions and declining retained earnings. The minimum required shares are redeemable, subject to certain limitations, five years following termination of FHLB membership. The Company has no intention of terminating its FHLB membership.

The Company has transferred a portion of its originated commercial real estate and commercial loans to participating lenders. The amounts transferred have been accounted for as sales and therefore not included in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company and participating lenders share proportionally, based on participating agreements, any gains or losses the may result from the borrowers lack of compliance with the terms of the loan. The Company continues to service the loans on behalf of the participating lenders. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company was servicing loans for participating lenders totaling $9.4 million and $11.8 million, respectively.

In accordance with the Company’s asset/liability management strategy and in an effort to reduce interest rate risk, the Company continues to sell fixed rate, low coupon residential real estate loans to the secondary market. The unpaid principal balance of mortgages that are serviced for others was $78.4 million and $75.8 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Servicing rights will continue to be retained on all loans written and sold in the secondary market.

Risk Characteristics

Residential Real Estate Loans enable the borrower to purchase or refinance existing homes, most of which serve as the primary residence of the owner. Repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the borrower. Factors attributable to failure of repayment may include a weakened economy and/or unemployment, as well as possible personal considerations. While we anticipate adjustable-rate mortgages will better offset the potential adverse effects of an increase in interest rates as compared to fixed-rate mortgages, the increased mortgage payments required of adjustable-rate loan borrowers in a rising interest rate environment could cause an increase in delinquencies and defaults. The marketability of the underlying property also may be adversely affected in a high interest rate environment.

Commercial Real Estate Loans are secured by commercial real estate and residential investment real estate and generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Risk in commercial real estate and residential investment lending are borrower’s creditworthiness and the feasibility and cash flow potential of the project. Payments on loans secured by income properties often depend on successful operation and management of the properties. As a result, repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent than residential real estate loans to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

Construction Loans are generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction.

Commercial and Industrial Loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing such loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value.

Consumer and Home Equity Loans may entail greater risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or secured by assets that depreciate rapidly. In such cases, repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment for the outstanding loan and the remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In addition, consumer loan collections depend on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and therefore are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount that can be recovered on such loans.

Credit Quality
 
To evaluate the risk in the loan portfolio, internal credit risk ratings are used for the following loan classes: commercial real estate, commercial construction and commercial & industrial. The risks evaluated in determining an adequate credit risk rating, include the financial strength of the borrower and the collateral securing the loan. Commercial loans are rated from one through nine. Credit risk ratings one through five are considered pass ratings. Classified assets include credit risk ratings of special mention through loss. At least quarterly, classified assets are reviewed by management and by an independent third party. Credit risk ratings are updated as soon as information is obtained that indicates a change in the credit risk rating may be warranted.
 
The following describes the credit risk ratings:
 
Special Mention. Assets that do not currently expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the following categories but possess potential weaknesses.
 
Substandard. Assets that have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Non-accruing loans are typically classified as substandard.
 
Doubtful. Assets that have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss.
 
 
14

 
 
Loss. Assets rated in this category are considered uncollectible and are charged off against the allowance for loan losses.
 
Residential real estate and residential construction loans are categorized into pass and substandard risk ratings. Substandard residential loans are loans that are on nonaccrual status and are individually evaluated for impairment.
 
Consumer loans are considered nonperforming when they are 90 days past due or have not returned to accrual status. Consumer loans are not individually evaluated for impairment.
 
Home equity loans are considered nonperforming whey they are 90 days past due or have not returned to accrual status. Each nonperforming home equity loan is individually evaluated for impairment.
