NOTE 1 – Organization

PB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation incorporated in 2015 to be the successor to PSB Holdings, Inc. upon completion of the second-step mutual-to-stock conversion (the “Conversion”) of Putnam Bancorp, MHC (the “MHC”), the top tier mutual holding company of PSB Holdings, Inc. PSB Holdings, Inc. was the former mid-tier holding company for Putnam Bank (the “Bank”). Prior to completion of the Conversion, a majority of the shares of common stock of PSB Holdings, Inc. were owned by the MHC. In conjunction with the Conversion, the MHC and PSB Holdings, Inc. merged into the Company and the Company became PSB Holdings, Inc.’s successor. The Conversion was completed on January 7, 2016. The Company raised gross proceeds of $33.7 million in the related stock offering. Concurrent with the completion of the stock offering, each share of PSB Holdings, Inc. stock owned by public stockholders (stockholders other than the MHC) was exchanged for 1.1907 shares of Company common stock. The Conversion was accounted for as a capital raising transaction by entities under common control. The historical financial results of the MHC were immaterial to the results of the Company and therefore the net assets of the MHC were reflected as an increase to stockholders’ equity.

Acquisition

On October 22, 2019, the Company, Putnam Bank and Centreville Bank announced they had entered into a definitive agreement under which Centreville Bank will acquire the Company and Putnam Bank in an all cash transaction valued at approximately $115.5 million. The Company’s stockholders will receive $15.25 for each share of Company common stock that they own. The transaction is expected to close in the first or second quarter of calendar 2020 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the Company’s stockholders and required regulatory approvals. However, it is possible that factors outside the control of both companies, including whether or when the required regulatory approvals will be received, could result in the merger being completed at a different time or not at all. In connection with the acquisition, the Company had incurred $491,000 of merger expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2019, primarily legal and investment banker costs, which are included in the consolidated Statement of Net Income.

NOTE 2 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q, and accordingly do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary, consisting of only normal recurring accruals and the elimination of all significant intercompany accounts, to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for future periods, including the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2019 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in PB Bancorp, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (’’SEC’’) on September 26, 2019, as amended on October 5, 2019.

NOTE 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective July 1, 2019 the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the requirements in Topic 840, Leases. The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. Based on the current level of long-term leases in place, adoption of this guideline was not material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for certain financial assets (such as loans and held-to-maturity securities) held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Entities will now use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates. The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. The amendments in this Update, and related guidance, are effective for companies that qualify as “smaller reporting companies” under SEC regulations, like the Company, fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early application will be permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently working to implement these requirements to determine the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this update simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity will be required to perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized will not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity will consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual and any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the application of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which amends the disclosure requirements by adding, changing, or removing certain disclosures about recurring or non-recurring fair value measurements. This ASU will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this update will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 - Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on our income or the carrying value of our assets. Our critical accounting policies are those related to the allowance for loan losses, realizability of deferred income taxes, valuation of goodwill and the impairment of securities.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly 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, specific and unallocated 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, residential construction, commercial and consumer/other. 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: levels/trends in delinquencies; trends in terms and amount of loans; concentrations; changes in lending policies and procedures; experience/ability/depth of lending management and staff; loan rating migration; the effect of other external factors; changes in the value of underlying collateral; changes in the loan review system; and national and local economic trends and conditions. The Company calculates historical losses using a five-year rolling average, which is considered indicative of the risk in the Company’s current loan portfolio. There were no changes in the Company’s policies or methodology pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses through December 31, 2019.

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 - The Company does not originate loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 100% and does not originate subprime loans. Loans originated with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80% generally require private mortgage insurance. 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.

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

Residential construction - Loans in this segment include speculative real estate development loans for which payment is derived from sale of the property. Credit risk is affected by the accuracy of estimated costs to complete the project, cost overruns, time to sell at an adequate price, and market conditions.

Commercial - 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/other - Loans in this segment are generally unsecured and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.

Specific component

The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis 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 or foreclosure is probable. 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, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer/other and residential real estate loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are non-accrual or subject to a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) agreement.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines 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.

The Company periodically may 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 TDR. All TDRs are classified as impaired.

Unallocated component

An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general reserves in the portfolio.

Goodwill. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the cost of a business acquisition over the sum of the amounts assigned to identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to a review of qualitative factors annually or more frequently if circumstances warrant, to determine if an impairment test is required. If required, the Company uses the following two-step approach for reviewing goodwill for impairment:

The first step (“Step 1”) is used to identify potential impairment, and involves comparing the reporting unit’s (the consolidated Company) estimated fair value to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not deemed to be impaired. Should the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceed its estimated fair value, an indicator of impairment is deemed to exist and a second step is performed to measure the amount of such impairment, if any. The second step (“Step 2”) involves calculating the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to how the amount of goodwill is determined in a business combination (i.e. by measuring the excess of the estimated fair value, as determined in Step 1, over the aggregate estimated fair values of the individual assets, liabilities, and identifiable intangibles as of the impairment testing date). If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying amount of goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, no impairment exists. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment loss is recorded in an amount equal to such excess. An impairment loss cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill, and the loss (write-down) establishes a new carrying amount for the goodwill. Subsequent reversal of goodwill impairment losses is not permitted. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires significant judgments including estimation of future cash flows, which are dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth, the period over which cash flows will occur, and determination of our cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or conclusions related to goodwill impairment.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Securities. Each reporting period, the Company evaluates all securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity with a decline in fair value below the amortized cost of the investment to determine whether or not the impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary (“OTTI”).

OTTI is required to be recognized if (1) the Company intends to sell the security; (2) it is “more likely than not” that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) for debt securities, the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. For impaired debt securities that the Company intends to sell, or more likely than not will be required to sell, the full amount of the depreciation is recognized as OTTI through earnings. For all other impaired debt securities, credit-related OTTI is recognized through earnings and non-credit related OTTI is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.

Income Taxes. The Company recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for the temporary differences between the accounting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted rates expected to be in effect when the amounts related to such temporary differences are realized or settled. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when, based upon the available evidence including historical and projected taxable income, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee.

NOTE 5 – Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The rights to dividends on unvested options/awards are non-forfeitable, therefore the unvested awards/options are considered outstanding in the computation of basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. For purposes of computing diluted EPS, the treasury stock method is used.

The following information was used in the computation of EPS on both a basic and diluted basis for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019:

	Three months ended December 31,				Six months ended December 31,
	2019		2018		2019		2018

Basic	$	0.13	$	0.15	$	0.26	$	0.34
Diluted	$	0.13	$	0.15	$	0.26	$	0.34

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, there were no antidilutive options not being included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Includes other-than-temporary impaired available-for-sale debt securities in which a portion of the other-than-temporary impairment loss remains in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Management evaluates securities for OTTI at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.

At December 31, 2019, there were 46 individual investment securities with aggregate depreciation of 2.1% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. Management has the intent and ability to hold these securities until cost recovery occurs and considers these declines to be temporary.

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in U.S. Government-sponsored agency bonds and U.S. government-guaranteed and government-sponsored residential mortgage-backed securities were primarily caused by interest rate fluctuations. These investments are guaranteed or sponsored by the U.S. government or an agency thereof. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the par value of the investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not to credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2019.

The Company’s unrealized losses on investments in corporate bonds and other securities relate to investments in companies within the financial services sector. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had three investments in corporate single-issuer trust preferred securities (TRUPs) with a total book value of $3.7 million and total fair value of $3.4 million, all of which were classified as available-for-sale. The single-issuer trust preferred investments are evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment by performing a present value of cash flows calculation each quarter. None of the issuers have deferred interest payments or announced the intention to defer interest payments. The Company believes the decline in fair value is related to the spread over three-month LIBOR, on which the quarterly interest payments are based, as the spread over LIBOR being received is significantly lower than current market spreads. Management concluded the impairment of these investments was considered temporary and asserts that the Company does not have the intent to sell these investments and that it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the investments before recovery of their cost bases which may be at maturity.

At December 31, 2019, there was one state and political subdivision security that had an unrealized loss of 0.5% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. We believe the unrealized loss was primarily caused by interest rate fluctuations. This security is guaranteed by a school district located in Texas. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not to credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investment and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2019.

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, there was $34,000 in other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in earnings and $4,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2018. For the six months ended December 31, 2019, there was $81,000 in other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in earnings and $4,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The other-than-temporary impairment losses were on non-agency mortgage-backed securities. The Company estimates the portion of possible loss attributable to credit loss using a discounted cash flow model. Significant inputs include the estimated cash flows of the underlying loans based on key assumptions, such as default rate, loss severity and prepayment rate. Assumptions can vary widely from security to security, and are influenced by such factors as loan interest rate, geographical location of the borrower, borrower characteristics and collateral type. The present value of the expected cash flows is compared to the Company’s amortized cost basis to determine if there was a credit-related impairment loss. Based on the expected cash flows derived from the model, the Company expects to recover the remaining unrealized losses on these securities.

The following table represents a roll-forward of the amount of credit losses on debt securities for which a portion of other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in other comprehensive loss:

Credit Quality Information

The Company utilizes a nine grade internal loan rating system as follows:

Loans rated 1 - 5 are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.

Loans rated 6 are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

Loans rated 7 are considered “substandard.” Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged. There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected.

Loans rated 8 are considered “doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans rated 9 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, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial real estate, construction and commercial loans. Annually, the Company engages an independent third party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process. Credit quality for residential real estate and consumer/other loans is determined by monitoring loan payment history and ongoing communications with the borrower.

The following table presents the Company’s loan classes by internally assigned grades at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019:

Modifications deemed to be troubled debt restructurings were not material for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

There were no troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted (defined as 30 or more days past due subsequent to restructuring) within one year of modification during the three and six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

NOTE 8 – Non-performing Assets, Past Due and Impaired Loans

Total non-performing loans to total loans		1.03	%		1.11	%
Total non-performing assets to total assets		0.92	%		1.02	%

Management is focused on working with borrowers and guarantors to resolve non-accrual loans by restructuring or liquidating assets when prudent. Many of our commercial relationships are secured by development loans, in particular condominiums which have experienced a significant reduction in demand. The Company reviews the strength of the guarantors; requires face to face discussions and offers restructuring suggestions that provide the borrowers with short term relief and exit strategies. The Company obtains a current appraisal on all real estate secured loans that are 180 days or more past due if the appraisal on file is older than one year. If the determination is made that there is the potential for collateral shortfall, an allocated reserve will be assigned to the loan for the expected deficiency. It is the policy of the Company to charge off or write down loans or other assets when, in the opinion of the Credit Committee and Loan Review, the ultimate amount recoverable is less than the carrying value, or the collection of the amount is expected to be unduly prolonged. The level of non-performing assets is expected to fluctuate in response to changing economic and market conditions, and the relative sizes of the respective loan portfolios, along with management’s degree of success in resolving problem assets.

NOTE 10 – Stock-Based Incentive Plan

In February 2017, stockholders of the Company approved the PB Bancorp, Inc. 2017 Stock-Based Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). Under the Incentive Plan, the Company may grant up to 453,267 stock options and 181,306 shares of restricted stock to its employees, officers and directors for an aggregate amount of up to 634,573 shares. Both incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options may be granted under the Incentive Plan.

There were no stock options or awards granted during the six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Both stock option and restricted stock awards granted to date vest at 20% per year beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the grant, and become fully vested in the event of a change in control of the Company

Stock options are considered common stock equivalents for the purpose of computing earnings per share on a diluted basis. Restricted stock awards have non-forfeitable dividend rights, and are considered participating securities outstanding for the purpose of computing basic earnings per share.

The Company has recorded share-based compensation expense related to outstanding stock option and restricted stock awards based upon the fair value at the date of grant over the vesting period of such awards on a straight-line basis. The fair value of each restricted stock allocation, based on the market price at the date of grant, is recorded to unearned stock awards. Compensation expense related to unearned restricted shares is amortized to compensation and benefits expense over the vesting period of the restricted stock awards, adjusted by actual forfeitures, based on the trading price of the stock on the date of vesting. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing method which includes several assumptions such as volatility, expected dividends, expected term and risk-free rate for each stock option award. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense in connection with the stock option and restricted stock awards for both the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 of $111,000. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense in connection with the stock option and restricted stock awards for the six months ended December 31, 2019 of $222,000 and for the six months ended December 31, 2018 of $229,000.

NOTE 11 – Accumulated Other Comprehensive 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 consolidated balance sheets, such items are components of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

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

	December 31,			June 30,
	2019			2019
	(in thousands)
Net unrealized loss on securities available-for-sale	$	(130	)	$	(341	)
Tax effect		27			72
Accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	(103	)	$	(269	)

NOTE 12 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company groups its assets 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 as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations for assets traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets.

Level 2 – Valuations for assets traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets.

Level 3 – Valuations for assets that are derived from other methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets.

The level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Company’s assets carried at fair value for December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.

The Company’s mortgage-backed securities and other debt securities available-for-sale are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For these securities, we obtain fair value measurements from independent pricing services, which are not adjusted by management. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U. S. treasury yield curve, trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the instrument’s terms and conditions.

Level 3 is for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Subsequent to inception, management only changes Level 3 inputs and assumptions when corroborated by evidence such as transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalization and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt markets, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 assets consisted of available-for-sale auction-rate trust preferred securities (ARPs). All dividends are current. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities for the time necessary to collect the expected cash flows.

The fair value of impaired loans and other real estate owned is based on the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based upon appraisals of similar properties obtained from a third party and adjusted by management as needed.

The Company did not have any transfers of assets between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended December 31, 2019.

The following summarizes assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019:

There were no changes in level 3 assets measured at fair value for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The Company had no assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2019. The following summarizes assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and the adjustments to the carrying value at and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2018:

									Total Losses		Total Losses

	$	1,203	$	-	$	-	$	1,203	$	38	$	101

The amount of other real estate owned represents the carrying value for which write-downs are based on the estimated fair value of the property.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the asset. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular asset. Because a market may not readily exist for a significant portion of the Company’s asset, 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 and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis at December 31, 2019 or June 30, 2019.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures of its financial instruments:

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

Investment Securities Held-to-Maturity and FHLBB Stock. The fair value of securities held-to-maturity is estimated based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments or available market evidence. Ownership of Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”) stock is restricted to member banks; therefore, the stock is not traded. The estimated fair value of FHLBB stock is equal to its carrying value, which represents the price at which the FHLBB is obligated to redeem its stock.

Loans. For valuation purposes, the loan portfolio was segregated into its significant categories, which are residential, commercial real estate, residential construction, commercial and consumer and other loans. These categories were further segregated, where appropriate, into components based on significant financial characteristics such as type of interest rate (fixed or adjustable). Fair values were estimated for each component using assumptions developed by management and a valuation model provided by a third party specialist.

The fair values of residential, commercial real estate, residential construction, commercial and consumer and other loans were estimated by discounting the anticipated cash flows from the respective portfolios. Estimates of the timing and amount of these cash flows considered factors such as future loan prepayments. The discount rates reflected current market rates for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The fair value of home equity lines of credit was based on the outstanding loan balances. Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Deposits and Mortgagors’ Escrow. The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity such as demand deposits, NOW, regular savings, and money market deposit accounts and mortgagors’ escrow accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value estimates do not include the benefit that results from the generally lower cost of funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market. The fair value estimate of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits having similar remaining maturities.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. The fair values of the Company’s Federal Home Loan Bank advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current incremental borrowing rates in the market for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. The Company enters into overnight repurchase agreements with its customers. Since these agreements are short-term instruments, the fair value of these agreements approximates their recorded balance. The Company also secures term repurchase agreements through other financial institutions. The fair value of these agreements are determined by discounting the anticipated future cash payments using rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

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

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments. The fair value of off-balance-sheet mortgage lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. In the case of the commitments discussed in Note 14, the fair value equals the carrying amounts which are not significant.

Summary of Fair Values of Financial Instruments. The estimated fair values, and related carrying amounts, of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows. Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are exempt from disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein do not represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, all of which are held or issued for purposes other than trading, as of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019:

Overview

Our profitability is highly dependent on our net interest income, which is the difference between our interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and our interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowed funds.

Our net income decreased $177,000, or 16.2%, to $913,000, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2018. This was due primarily to merger related expenses of $491,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2019. Net interest income remained unchanged at $3.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 while non-interest income decreased $66,000, or 9.0% to $669,000, for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from $735,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Non-interest expense increased $142,000, or 4.5% to $3.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from $3.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Income tax expense decreased $34,000, or 16.3% to $174,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from $208,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The effective tax rate was 16.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 16.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2018.

Our net income decreased $612,000, or 24.7%, to $1.9 million, or $0.26 per basic and diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2019, compared to net income of $2.5 million, or $0.34 per basic and diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2018. This was due primarily to an increase of $750,000 in the provision for loan losses. The Company recorded a credit for loan losses of $600,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2018 compared to a $150,000 provision for loan losses for the six months ended December 31, 2019. Net interest income increased $141,000, or 1.9% to $7.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019 from $7.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018, while non-interest income remained unchanged at $1.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Non-interest expense increased $149,000, or 2.3% to $6.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019 from $6.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018. This included $491,000 in merger related expenses. Income tax expense decreased $147,000, or 29.2% to $357,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2019 from $504,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The effective tax rate was 16.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2019 compared to 16.9% for the six months ended December 31, 2018.

An increase in interest rates will present us with a challenge in managing our interest rate risk. As a general matter, our interest-bearing liabilities reprice or mature more quickly than our interest-earning assets, which can result in interest expense increasing more rapidly than increases in interest income as interest rates increase. Therefore, increases in interest rates may adversely affect our net interest income, which in turn would likely have an adverse effect on our results of operations. As described in “Market Risk,” we expect that our net interest income and our net portfolio value would decrease as a result of an instantaneous increase in interest rates. We use a variety of strategies to help manage interest rate risk, as described in “Market Risk”.

Unlike larger financial institutions that are more geographically diversified, our profitability depends primarily on the general economic conditions in Eastern Connecticut and the Rhode Island and Massachusetts communities adjacent to Windham County, Connecticut. Local economic conditions have a significant impact on our commercial real estate and construction and consumer loans, the ability of the borrowers to repay these loans and the value of the collateral securing these loans. In addition, changes in economic conditions could result in increased actual losses or increased losses inherent in our loan portfolio, either of which could require us to significantly increase the level of our provision for loan losses.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019

Assets

Total assets were $529.5 million at December 31, 2019, a decrease of $8.6 million, or 1.6%, from $538.0 million at June 30, 2019. Cash and cash equivalents increased $13.0 million, or 50.6%, to $38.7 million at December 31, 2019 compared to $25.7 million at June 30, 2019. The increase was due to accumulating additional funds from maturing securities, loan pay-offs and an increase in deposits for upcoming loan closings. Investments in held-to-maturity securities decreased $10.2 million, or 16.1%, to $53.2 million at December 31, 2019 compared to $63.5 million at June 30, 2019 and investments in available-for-sale securities decreased $3.7 million, or 9.5%, to $35.2 million at December 31, 2019 compared to $38.9 million at June 30, 2019.

Net loans outstanding decreased $7.4 million, or 2.0%, to $370.6 million at December 31, 2019 from $378.0 million at June 30, 2019. This was primarily due to a decrease in residential loans of $9.6 million, or 4.3%, to $211.9 million at December 31, 2019 compared to $221.5 million at June 30, 2019. Commercial real estate loans increased $1.8 million, or 1.2%, to $147.5 million at December 31, 2019 compared to $145.7 million at June 30, 2019.

Average Balances and Yields

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense. Yields and costs are annualized.

The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of the table, changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.
