(2) Represents the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted shares, vesting of restricted stock units, and vesting of LTIP awards that have met the performance criteria, as applicable, utilizing the treasury stock method.
(3) Represents stock-based awards not included in the computation of potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted EPS as the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock.stock and are considered anti-dilutive.

Nonvested stock-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and are included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Certain of the Company’s nonvested stock-based awards qualify as participating securities. 
  
Net income is allocated between the common stock and participating securities pursuant to the two-class method. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding participating nonvested stock-based awards.

Diluted EPS is computed in a similar manner, except that the denominator is increased to includeincludes the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares were issued using the treasury stock method.

Net unrealized losses on AFS securities at December 31, 20142015 included in AOCI amounted to $319,000,$3.8 million, net of a deferred tax benefit of $172,000.$2.0 million.

During the first ninethree months of 2016, the Company purchased investment securities totaling $70.8 million. The Company designated $66.9 million as AFS securities and $3.9 million as HTM securities.

During the first three months of 2015, the Company purchased investment securities totaling $136.7$36.4 million. The Company designated $81.3$20.3 million as AFS securities and $55.4$16.1 million as HTM securities.



Impaired Securities
Management periodically reviews the Company’s investment portfolio to determine the cause, magnitude and duration of declines in the fair value of each security. Thorough evaluations of the causes of the unrealized losses are performed to determine whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary in nature. Considerations such as the ability of the securities to meet cash flow requirements, levels of credit enhancements, risk of curtailment, recoverability of invested amount over a reasonable period of time, and the length of time the security is in a loss position, for example, are applied in determining OTTI. Once a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the valuecost basis of the security is permanently reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.

The Company’sBank’s lending activities are primarily conducted in Maine, and its footprint continues to expand into other New England states, including New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The Company originates single family and multi-family residential loans, commercial real estate loans, business loans, municipal loans and a variety of consumer loans. In addition, the Company makes loans for the construction of residential homes, multi-family properties and commercial real estate properties. The ability and willingness of borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the level of overall economic activity within the geographic area and the general economy.

HPFC provides niche commercial lending to the small business medical field, including dentists, optometrists and veterinarians across the U.S. The ability and willingness of borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the success of the borrower's business. Unlike the Bank's loan portfolio, there is, generally, little to no indication of credit quality issues and/or concerns of borrowers honoring their commitments until a payment is delinquent. Generally, once a payment is delinquent, if the payment is not received shortly thereafter to bring the loan current, the loan is deemed impaired (typically within 45 days). Effective February 19, 2016, the Company closed HPFC's operations and is no longer originating loans.

The ALL is management’s best estimate of the inherent risk of loss in the Company’s loan portfolio as of the consolidated statement of condition date. Management makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of the loan portfolio and provides an allowance for potential losses based on a number of factors including historical losses. If those assumptions are incorrect, the ALL may not be sufficient to cover losses and may cause an increase in the allowance in the future. Among the factors that could affect the Company’s ability to collect loans and require an increase to the allowance in the future are: (i) financial condition of borrowers; (ii) real estate market changes; (iii) state, regional, and national economic conditions; and (iv) a requirement by federal and state regulators to increase the provision for loan losses or recognize additional charge-offs.

There were no significant changes in the Company's ALL methodology during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016.

The board of directors monitors credit risk through the Directors' Loan Review Committee, which reviews large credit exposures, monitors the external loan review reports, reviews the lending authority for individual loan officers when required, and has approval authority and responsibility for all matters regarding the loan policy and other credit-related policies, including reviewing and monitoring asset quality trends, concentration levels, and the ALL methodology. The CorporateCredit Risk Management GroupAdministration and the Credit Risk Policy Committee oversee the Company's systems and procedures to monitor the credit quality of its loan portfolio, conduct a loan review program, maintain the integrity of the loan rating system, determine the adequacy of the ALL and support the oversight efforts of the Directors' Loan Review Committee and the board of directors. The Company's practice is to proactively manage the portfolio such that management can identify problem credits early, assess and implement effective work-out strategies, and take charge-offs as promptly as practical. In addition, the Company continuously reassesses its underwriting standards in response to credit risk posed by changes in economic conditions. For purposes of


determining the ALL, the Company disaggregates its loans into portfolio segments, which include residential real estate, commercial real estate, commercial, home equity, consumer and consumer.HPFC. Each portfolio segment possesses unique risk characteristics that are considered when determining the appropriate level of allowance. These risk characteristics unique to each portfolio segment include:

Residential Real Estate. Residential real estate loans held in the Company's loan portfolio are made to borrowers who demonstrate the ability to make scheduled payments with full consideration to underwriting factors. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan-to-value ratios within established policy guidelines. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on one- to four-family residential properties.


13



Commercial Real Estate. Commercial real estate loans consist of mortgage loans to finance investments in real property such as multi-family residential, commercial/retail, office, industrial, hotels, educational, health care facilities and other specific use properties. Commercial real estate loans are typically written with amortizing payment structures. Collateral values are determined based upon appraisals and evaluations in accordance with established policy guidelines. Loan-to-value ratios at origination are governed by established policy and regulatory guidelines. Commercial real estate loans are primarily paid by the cash flow generated from the real property, such as operating leases, rents, or other operating cash flows from the borrower.

Commercial. Commercial loans consist of revolving and term loan obligations extended to business and corporate enterprises for the purpose of financing working capital and/or capital investment. Collateral generally consists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, plant & equipment, or real estate, if applicable. Commercial loans are primarily paid by the operating cash flow of the borrower. Commercial loans may be secured or unsecured.

Home Equity. Home equity loans and lines are made to qualified individuals for legitimate purposes secured by senior or junior mortgage liens on owner-occupied one- to four-family homes, condominiums, or vacation homes. The home equity loan has a fixed rate and is billed as equal payments comprised of principal and interest. The home equity line of credit has a variable rate and is billed as interest-only payments during the draw period. At the end of the draw period, the home equity line of credit is billed as a percentage of the principal balance plus all accrued interest. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan-to-value ratios within established policy guidelines.

Consumer. Consumer loan products including personal lines of credit and amortizing loans made to qualified individuals for various purposes such as education, auto loans, debt consolidation, personal expenses or overdraft protection. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income and collateral requirements within established policy guidelines. Consumer loans may be secured or unsecured.

HPFC. HPFC is a niche lender that provides commercial lending to dentists, optometrists and veterinarians, many of which are start-up companies. HPFC's loan portfolio consists of term loan obligations extended for the purpose of financing working capital and/or purchase of equipment. Collateral may consist of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, and/or equipment. These loans are primarily paid by the operating cash flow of the borrower and the terms range from seven to ten years.

At March 31, 2016 and 2015, and December 31, 2015, the reserve for unfunded commitments was $24,000, $23,000 and $22,000, respectively.

The Company focuses on maintaining a well-balanced and diversified loan portfolio. Despite such efforts, it is recognized that credit concentrations may occasionally emerge as a result of economic conditions, changes in local demand, natural loan growth and runoff. To ensure that credit concentrations can be effectively identified, all commercial and commercial real estate loans are assigned Standard Industrial Classification codes, North American Industry Classification System codes, and state and county codes. Shifts in portfolio concentrations are monitored by the CorporateCredit Risk Management Group.Administration. As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, the non-residential building operators industry exposure was 11% of the Company's total loan portfolio and 28%29% of the total commercial real estate portfolio. There were no other industry exposures exceeding 10% of the Company's total loan portfolio as of September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016.



 To further identify loans with similar risk profiles, the Company categorizes each portfolio segment into classes by credit risk characteristic and applies a credit quality indicator to each portfolio segment. The indicators for commercial, commercial real estate and residential real estate loans are represented by Grades 1 through 10 as outlined below. In general, risk ratings are adjusted periodically throughout the year as updated analysis and review warrants. This process may include, but is not limited to, annual credit and loan reviews, periodic reviews of loan performance metrics, such as delinquency rates, and quarterly reviews of adversely risk rated loans. The Company uses the following definitions when assessing grades for the purpose of evaluating the risk and adequacy of the ALL:

Grade 1 through 6 — Grades 1 through 6 represent groups of loans that are not subject to adverse criticism as defined in regulatory guidance. Loans in these groups exhibit characteristics that represent low to moderate risks, which is measured using a variety of credit risk criteria, such as cash flow coverage, debt service coverage, balance sheet leverage, liquidity, management experience, industry position, prevailing economic conditions, support from secondary sources of repayment and other credit factors that may be relevant to a specific loan. In general, these loans are supported by properly margined collateral and guarantees of principal parties.
Grade 7 — Loans with potential weakness (Special Mention). Loans in this category are currently protected based on collateral and repayment capacity and do not constitute undesirable credit risk, but have potential weakness that may result in deterioration of the repayment process at some future date. This classification is used if a negative trend is evident in the obligor’s financial situation. Special mention loans do not sufficiently expose the Company to warrant adverse classification.
Grade 8 — Loans with definite weakness (Substandard). Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by collateral pledged. Borrowers experience difficulty in meeting debt repayment requirements. Deterioration is sufficient to cause the Company to look to the sale of collateral.
Grade 9 — Loans with potential loss (Doubtful). Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in the substandard grade with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation of the loan in full highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of some loss is extremely high, but because of specific pending factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.
Grade 10 — Loans with definite loss (Loss). Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible. The loss classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the asset because recovery and collection time may be protracted.


16



Asset quality indicators are periodically reassessed to appropriately reflect the risk composition of the Company’s loan portfolio. Home equity and consumer loans are not individually risk rated, but rather analyzed as groups taking into account delinquency rates and other economic conditions which may affect the ability of borrowers to meet debt service requirements, including interest rates and energy costs. Performing loans include loans that are current and loans that are past due less than 90 days. Loans that are past due over 90 days and non-accrual loans, including TDRs, are considered non-performing.

The Company closely monitors the performance of its loan portfolio.portfolio for both the Bank and HPFC. A loan is placed on non-accrual status when the financial condition of the borrower is deteriorating, payment in full of both principal and interest is not expected as scheduled or principal or interest has been in default for 90 days or more. Exceptions may be made if the asset is well-secured by collateral sufficient to satisfy both the principal and accrued interest in full and collection is reasonably assured. When one loan to a borrower is placed on non-accrual status, all other loans to the borrower are re-evaluated to determine if they should also be placed on non-accrual status. All previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed at this time. A loan may be returnedreturn to accrual status when collection of principal and interest is assured and the borrower has demonstrated timely payments of principal and interest for a reasonable period. Unsecured loans, however, are not normally placed on non-accrual status because they are charged-off once their collectability is in doubt.

Interest income that would have been recognized if loans on non-accrual status had been current in accordance with their original terms was $103,000$184,000 and $192,000$143,000 for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2016 and 2015, and 2014, respectively, and $375,000 and $647,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

TDRs:

The Company takes a conservative approach with credit risk management and remains focused on community lending and reinvesting. The Company works closely with borrowers experiencing credit problems to assist in loan repayment or term modifications. TDR loans consist of loans where the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, granted a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. TDRs, typically, involve term modifications or a reduction of either interest or principal. Once such an obligation has been restructured, it will remain a TDR until paid in full, or until the loan is again restructured at current market rates and no concessions are granted.

The specific reserve allowance was determined by discounting the total expected future cash flows from the borrower at the original loan interest rate, or if the loan is currently collateral-dependent, using the NRV, which was obtained through independent appraisals and internal evaluations. The following is a summary of TDRs, by portfolio segment, and the associated specific reserve included within the ALL as of:of the periods indicated:

NOTE 6 – REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
 
The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FRB and the OCC. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company implemented the Basel III regulatory capital framework. These new rules and framework revised minimum capital requirements and adjusted prompt corrective action thresholds. The Company and the Bank are required to maintain certain levels of capital based on risk-adjusted assets. These capital requirements represent quantitative measures of ourtheir assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and Bank's capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by our regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Under the Basel III regulatory capital framework, theThe quantitative measures established to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total, Tier I capital, and common equity Tier I (as defined in the applicable regulations) to risk-weighted assets, (as defined in the applicable regulations), and of Tier I capital to average assets, or leverage ratio (as defined in the applicable regulations).ratio. These guidelines apply to the Company on a consolidated basis. Under the current guidelines, banking organizations must have a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, a minimum Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a minimum common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%, and a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. in order to be "adequately capitalized." In addition to these requirements, banking organization must maintain a 2.5% capital conservation buffer consisting of common Tier I equity, subject to a transition schedule with a full phase-in by 2019. Effective January 1, 2016, the Company and the Bank were required to establish a capital conservation buffer of 0.625%, increasing the minimum required total risk-based capital, Tier I risk-based and common equity Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets they must maintain to avoid limits on capital distributions and certain bonus payments to executive officers and similar employees.



The Company and the Bank's risk-based capital ratios exceeded regulatory guidelines at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 under the newly implemented Basel III regulatory capital framework. The Company and Bank's risk-based capital ratios under prior rules at December 31, 2014 also exceeded regulatory capital requirements under previous regulatory capital requirements in place.2015.

Although the junior subordinated debentures are recorded as a liability on the Company's consolidated statements of condition, the Company is permitted, in accordance with regulatory guidelines, to include, subject to certain limits, the junior subordinated debentures in our calculation of risk-based capital. At September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, $43.0 million of the junior subordinated debentures were included in Tier I and total risk-based capital for the Company.

2,4062,730 deferred stock awards were issued to certain executive officers under the DCRP. Of the 2,730 awards granted, 1,161 vested immediately on the grant date, the remainder will vest pro-rata until the recipient reaches age 65. The stock awards have been determined to have a fair value of $38.85$40.55 per unit, based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the March 13, 201515, 2016 grant date.
3,030 unrestricted stock awards were issued to the directors of the Company and Bank under the Independent Directors' Equity Compensation Program. The unrestricted stock awards fully vested immediately on the May 1, 2015 grant date. The fair value of the share awards issued was determined using the closing market price of the Company's stock on May 1, 2015 of $38.36 per share.

NOTE 9 – REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Company can raise additional liquidity by entering into repurchase agreements at its discretion. In a security repurchase agreement transaction, the Company will generally sell a security, agreeing to repurchase either the same or substantially identical security on a specified later date, at a greater price than the original sales price. The difference between the sale price and purchase price is the cost of the proceeds, which is recorded as interest expense on the consolidated statement of income. The securities underlying the agreements are delivered to counterparties as security for the repurchase obligations. Since the securities are treated as collateral and the agreement does not qualify for a full transfer of effective control, the transactions does not meet the criteria to be classified as a sale, and is therefore considered a secured borrowing transaction for accounting purposes. Payments on such borrowings are interest only until the scheduled repurchase date. In a repurchase agreement, the Company is subject to the risk that the purchaser may default at maturity and not return the securities underlying the agreements. In order to minimize this potential risk, the Company either deals with established firms when entering into these transactions or with customers whose agreements stipulate that the securities underlying the agreement are not delivered to the customer and instead are held in segregated safekeeping accounts by the Company's safekeeping agents.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND DISCLOSURE
 
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined using quoted market prices. However, in many instances, quoted market prices are not available. In such instances, fair values are determined using various valuation techniques. Various assumptions and observable inputs must be relied upon in applying these techniques. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
 
GAAP permits an entity to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and other items at fair value. The Company has elected the fair value option for its loans held for sale. Electing the fair value option for loans held for sale enables the Company’s financial position to more clearly align with the economic value of the actively traded asset.

The fair value hierarchy for valuation of an asset or liability is as follows:
 
Level 1:   Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
 
Level 2:   Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, from quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.
 
Level 3:   Valuation is derived from model-based and other techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and which may be based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.
 
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon model-based techniques incorporating various assumptions including interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit losses. Assets and liabilities valued using model-based techniques are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the lowest level classification of an input that is considered significant to the overall valuation. 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.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Loans Held For Sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted secondary market prices or executed sales agreements and is classified as Level 2.

AFS Securities:  The fair value of debt AFS securities is reported utilizing prices provided by an independent pricing service based on recent trading activity and other observable information including, but not limited to, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, market interest rate curves, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond’s terms and conditions. The fair value of debt securities are classified as Level 2.

The fair value of equity AFS securities is reported utilizing market prices based on recent trading activity. The equity securities are traded on inactive markets and are classified as Level 2.

Derivatives:  The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using inputs that are observable in the market place obtained from third parties including yield curves, publicly available volatilities, and floating indexes and, accordingly, are classified as Level 2 inputs. The credit value adjustments associated with derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. As of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 20142015, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives due to collateral postings.


26The fair value of interest rate lock commitments is determined based on current market prices for similar assets in the secondary market and, therefore, classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.




The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 20142015, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016. The Company’s policy for determining transfers between levels occurs at the end of the reporting period when circumstances in the underlying valuation criteria change and result in transfer between levels.


Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis 
The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period.

27



Collateral-Dependent Impaired Loans:  Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. The Company's policy is to individually evaluate for impairment loans with a principal balance greater than $250,000 or more and are classified as substandard or doubtful and are on non-accrual status. Once the population of loans is identified for individual impairment assessment, the Company measures these loans for impairment by comparing NRV, which is the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell, to the carrying value of the loan. If the NRV of the loan is less than the carrying value of the loan, then a loss is recognized as part of the ALL to adjust the loan's carrying value to NRV. Accordingly, certain collateral-dependent impaired loans are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Management has estimated the fair values of these assets using Level 2 inputs, such as the fair value of collateral based on independent third-party market approach appraisals for collateral-dependent loans, and Level 3 inputs where circumstances warrant an adjustment to the appraised value based on the age of the appraisal and/or comparable sales, condition of the collateral, and market conditions.

MSRs:  The Company accounts for mortgage servicing assets at cost, subject to impairment testing. When the carrying value of a tranche exceeds fair value, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the carrying cost to fair value. Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The Company obtains a third-party valuation based upon loan level data including note rate, type and term of the underlying loans. The model utilizes a variety of observable inputs for its assumptions, the most significant of which are loan prepayment assumptions and the discount rate used to discount future cash flows. Other assumptions include delinquency rates, servicing cost inflation and annual unit loan cost. MSRs are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Non-Financial Assets and Non-Financial Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company has no non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis consist of OREO and goodwill and other intangible assets. 

OREO: OREO properties acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure are recorded at NRV, which is the fair value of the real estate, less estimated costs to sell. Any write-down of the recorded investment in the related loan is charged to the ALL upon transfer to OREO. Upon acquisition of a property, a current appraisal is used or an internal valuation is prepared to substantiate fair value of the property. After foreclosure, management periodically, but at least annually, obtains updated valuations of the OREO properties and, if additional impairments are deemed necessary, the subsequent write-downs for declines in value are recorded through a valuation allowance and a provision for losses charged to other non-interest expense within the consolidated statements of income. As management considers appropriate, adjustments are made to the appraisal obtained for the OREO property to account for recent sales activity of comparable properties, changes in the condition of the property, and changes in market conditions. These adjustments are not observable in an active market and are classified as Level 3.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The fair value of goodwill is estimated by utilizing several standard valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses, bank merger multiples, and/or an estimation of the impact of business conditions and investor activities on the long-term value of the goodwill. Should an impairment of either reporting unit's goodwill occur, the associated goodwill is written-down to fair value and the impairment charge is recorded within non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. The Company conducts an annual impairment test of goodwill in the fourth quarter each year, or more frequently as necessary. There have been no indications or triggering events during for the first ninethree months of 2015ended March 31, 2016 for which management believes that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired.

The Company's core deposit intangible assets represent the estimated value of acquired customer relationships and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of those relationships. Core deposit intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If necessary, management will test the core deposit intangibles for impairment by comparing its carrying value to the expected undiscounted cash flows of the assets. If the undiscounted cash flows of the intangible assets exceed its carrying value then the intangible assets are deemed to be fully recoverable and not impaired. However, if the undiscounted cash flows of the intangible assets are less than its carrying value than an impairment charge is recorded to mark the carrying value of the intangible assets to fair value. There were no events or changes in circumstances duringoccurred for the first ninethree months of 2015ended March 31, 2016 that indicated the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

GAAP requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair values of its other financial instruments.
 
Cash and Due from Banks:  The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statements of condition approximate fair value.

HTM securities:  The fair value is estimated utilizing prices provided by an independent pricing service based on recent trading activity and other observable information including, but not limited to, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, market interest rate curves, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond’s terms and conditions. The fair value is classified as Level 2.
 
Loans:  For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair value of other loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
 
Interest Receivable and Payable:  The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statements of condition approximate fair value.
 
Deposits:  The fair value of demand, interest checking, savings and money market deposits with no stated maturity is equal todetermined as the carrying amount.amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of certificates of deposittime deposits is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interestmarket rates andoffered for deposits of similar remaining maturities for currently offered certificates of deposit.maturities.
 
Borrowings:  The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings from the FHLB, securities sold under repurchase agreements, notes payable and other short-term borrowings approximate fair value. The fair values of long-term borrowings and commercial repurchase agreements are based on the discounted cash flows using current rates for advances of similar remaining maturities.
 
Junior Subordinated Debentures:  The carrying amounts reportedfair values of are based on quoted prices from similar instruments in the consolidated statements of condition approximate fair value.inactive markets.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENCIES AND DERIVATIVES

Legal Contingencies 
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to pending and threatened legal actions. Although the Company is not able to predict the outcome of such actions, after reviewing pending and threatened actions with counsel, management believes that based on the information currently available the outcome of such actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position as a whole.
 
Reserves are established for legal claims only when losses associated with the claims are judged to be probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated. In many lawsuits and arbitrations, it is not possible to determine whether a liability has been incurred or to estimate the ultimate or minimum amount of that liability until the case is close to resolution, in which case a reserve will not be recognized until that time.
 
As of September 30,March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company did not have any material loss contingencies for which accruals were provided for and/or disclosure was deemed necessary.



Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to both on and off-balance sheet financial instruments involving, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in addition to the amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of condition.

Lending-Related Instruments
The contractual amounts of the Company’s lending-related financial instruments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements since certain of these instruments may expire without being funded and others may not be fully drawn upon. These instruments are subject to the Company’s credit approval process, including an evaluation of the customer’s creditworthiness and related collateral requirements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes (primarily interest rate risk) and not for trading or speculative purposes. The Company controls the credit risk of these instruments through collateral, credit approvals and monitoring procedures. Additionally, as part of Company's normal mortgage origination process, it provides the borrower with the option to lock their interest rate based on current market prices. During the period from commitment date to the loan closing date, the Company is subject to the risk of interest rate change. In an effort to mitigate such risk the Company may enter into forward delivery sales commitments, typically on a "best-efforts" basis, with certain approved investors.

Derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument is dependent upon whether or not it qualifies and has been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and further, by the type of hedging relationship.

The Company has designated its interest rate swaps on its junior subordinated debentures and its interest rate swaps on forecasted 30-day FHLBB borrowings as cash flow hedges. The change in the fair value of the Company's cash flow hedges is accounted within OCI, net of tax. Quarterly, in conjunction with financial reporting, the Company assesses each cash flow hedge for ineffectiveness. To the extent any significant ineffectiveness is identified, this amount is recorded within the consolidated statements of income. Furthermore, the Company will reclassify the gain or loss on the effective portion of the cash flow hedge from OCI into interest within the consolidated statements of income in the period the hedged transaction affects earnings.

The change in fair value of the Company's other derivative instruments, not designated and qualifying as hedges, are accounted for within the consolidated statements of income.
  


Junior Subordinated Debt Interest Rate Swaps:
The Company, from time to time, will enter into an interest rate swap agreement with a counterparty to manage interest rate risk associated with its variable rate borrowings. The Company’s interest rate swap arrangements contain provisions that require the Company to post cash collateral with the counterparty for contracts that are in a net liability position based on their fair values and the Company’s credit rating. If the interest rate swaps are in a net asset position based on their fair value, the counterparty is required to post collateral to the Company. The collateral posted by the Company (or counterparty) is not readily available and has been presented within cash and due from banks on the consolidated statements of condition. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had a notional amount of $43.0$43.0 million in variable-for-fixed interest rate swap agreements on its junior subordinated debentures and $10.3$13.0 million in of cash held as collateral.collateral to the counterparty at March 31, 2016.

As each derivative instrument qualifies as a highly effectiveFor the three months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015, the Company did not record any ineffectiveness on these cash flow hedge,hedges within the decrease inconsolidated statements of income.

Net payments to the fair value of the interest rate swapscounterparty for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2016 and 2015 of $665,000, net of tax, was recorded in OCI. Net payments were $316,000 and $343,000 and have been classified as cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company would reclassify unrealized gains or losses accounted for within AOCI into earnings if the interest rate swaps were to become ineffective or the arrangements were to terminate. In the next 12 months, the Company does not believe it will reclassify any related unrealized gains or losses accounted for within AOCI into earnings.

Forward-StartingForecasted Interest Rate Swaps:
In the first quarter of 2015, the Bank entered into two interest rate swap arrangements with a counterparty foron two tranches of 30-day FHLBB advances with a total notional amount of $50.0 million. Each derivative arrangement will commencecommenced on February 25, 2016, with one contract set to expire on February 25, 2018 and the other on February 25, 2019. The Bank entered into these forward-starting interest rate swaps to mitigate its cost ofinterest rate exposure on borrowings exposure in a rising interest rate environment. The Bank has designated each arrangement as a cash flow hedge in accordance with GAAP, and, therefore, the change in unrealized gains or losses on the derivative instruments is recorded within AOCI, net of tax. Also, quarterly, in conjunction with financial reporting, the Company assesses each derivative instrument for ineffectiveness. To the extent any significant ineffectiveness is identified this amount would be recorded within the consolidated statements of income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016, the Company did not record any ineffectiveness within the consolidated statements of income.

The Bank's arrangement with the counterparty requires it to post cash collateral for contracts in a net liability position based on their fair values and the Bank's credit rating. If the interest rate swaps are in a net asset position based on their fair value, the counterparty is required to post collateral to the Company. The collateral posted by the Company (or counterparty) is not readily available and is presented within cash and due from banks on the consolidated statements of condition. At September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, the Bank posted cash collateral with the counterparty of $824,000.$1.3 million to the counterparty.

As each derivative instrument qualifies as a highly effective cash flow hedge,Net payments to the decrease in the fair value of the interest rate swapscounterparty for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015 of $576,000, net of tax, was recorded in OCI. Net paymentsMarch 31, 2016 were $49,000 and have been classified as cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. In the next 12 months, the Company does not believe it will reclassify any related unrealized gains or losses accounted for within AOCI into earnings.

Customer Loan Swaps:
The Company will enter into interest rate swaps with its commercial customers, from time to time, to provide them with a means to lock into a long-term fixed rate, while simultaneously the Company enters into an arrangement with a counterparty to swap the fixed rate to a variable rate to allow it to effectively manage its interest rate exposure. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had interest rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $85.7 million and $29.1 million, respectively, with its commercial customers, and interest rate swap agreements of equal notional amounts with a dealer bank.

The Company's customer loan level derivative program is not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. As the interest rate swap agreements have substantially equivalent and offsetting terms, they do not materially change the Company’s interest rate risk or present any material exposure to the Company's consolidated statements of income. The Company records its customer loan swaps at fair value and presents such on a gross basis within other assets and accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition.

The following table presents the total positions, notional and fair value of the Company's customer loanloans swaps at September 30, 2015with its commercial customers and December 31, 2014 were $3.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively.the corresponding interest rate swap agreements with counterparty for the periods indicated:

The Company seeks to mitigate its customer counterparty credit risk exposure through its loan policy and underwriting process, which includes credit approval limits, monitoring procedures, and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. The Company seeks to mitigate its institutional counterparty credit risk exposure by limiting the institutions for which it will enter into interest swap arrangements through an approved listing by the Company's board of directors. The Company's arrangement with an institutional counterparty requires it to post cash collateral for contracts in a net liability position based on their fair values and the Bank's credit rating or receive cash collateral for contracts in a net asset position. At September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, the Company posted cash collateral with the counterparty of $3.0$10.8 million. The collateral posted by the Company (or counterparty) is not readily available and is presented within cash and due from banks on the consolidated statements of condition.
 


Interest Rate Locks:Locks Commitments:
As part of originating residential mortgages,and commercial loans, the Company may enter into rate lock agreements with customers and may issue commitment letters to customers, which are considered interest rate lock commitments. At September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014, based upon the2015, our pipeline of mortgage loans with interest rate lock commitments were as follows:

NOTE 12 – MERGER AND ACQUISITION ACTIVITY

On October 16, 2015, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of SBM pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. Additionally, The Bank of Maine, a wholly owned subsidiary of SBM, merged with and into Camden National Bank, with Camden National Bank continuing as the surviving bank.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of SBM common stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger was converted into the right to receive, at the election of the stockholder and subject to the allocation and proration procedures described in the Merger Agreement, either: (1) $206.00 in cash, withoutmortgage interest or (2) 5.421 shares of common stock of the Company; provided that 80% of the SBM shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger were converted into the right to receive common stock of the Company and the remaining SBM shares were converted into the right to receive cash. The total consideration paid by the Company was approximately $136.7 million, consisting of (i) approximately $26.1 million in cash; (ii) 2,749,762 shares of Camden common stock valued at approximately $108.6 million basedrate locks reported within mortgage banking income, net, on the October 16, 2015 closing price of $39.48 per share; and (iii) the fair value of 92,688 non-qualified stock options issued under the 2012 Plan of $2.0 million.

As of October 16, 2015, SBM's total assets were approximately $815.0 million, total net loans were approximately $640.0 million, and total deposits and borrowings were approximately $710.0 million. These balances are unaudited and do not include any adjustments for purchase accounting. As a result of the proximity of the closing of the merger to the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, the Company continues to evaluate the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Accordingly, the amount of any goodwill and other intangible assets to be recognized in connection with this transaction is also yet to be determined.

Upon completion of the Merger on October 16, 2015, the Company had 10,203,807 shares of common stock outstanding.

In conjunction with the Merger, the Company incurred certain non-recurring costs, including legal fees, investment banking fees, and other integration-related costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $766,000 and $1.6 million, respectively. These non-recurring costs are presented on the consolidated statements of income within non-interestwas $292,000 and $2,000, respectively.

The table below presents the effect of the Company’s derivative financial instruments included in OCI and current earnings for the periods indicated:

Net reclassification adjustment for effective portion of cash flow hedges included in interest expense (effective portion), gross $(365) $(343)

The Company expects approximately $2.1 million (pre-tax) to be reclassified to interest expense as merger and acquisition costs. In addition, the Company incurred certain equity issuance costs totaling $537,000from OCI, related to the registrationCompany’s cash flow hedges, in the next twelve months. This reclassification is due to anticipated payments that will be made and/or received on the swaps based upon the forward curve as of additional shares of the Company's common stock. These costs have been accounted for as a reduction to shareholders' equity.March 31, 2016.

In accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, certain non-recurring costs are not deductible for income tax purposes. The impact to the Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was an increase of 2.1%. Non-recurring costs incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2015 had no impact on the Company's three months ended effective tax rate.

NOTE 1412 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-30): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. The ASU was issued as part of the FASB's simplification initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The ASU does not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The ASU was issued to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs as part of the FASB's simplification initiative. The ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The new guidance will be applied on a retrospective basis, which will require disclosure of this as a change in accounting principle. The Company does not expect the ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. The ASU was issued because existing GAAP did not include explicit guidance for accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. The ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. The ASU was issued to defer the effective date of Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), for all entities by one year. ASU 2014-09 was issued to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard. ASU 2014-09 is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company continues to evaluate the potential impact of ASU 2014-09, as updated by ASU 2015-14, but currently does not expect the ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollar Amounts In Tables Expressed in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
The discussions set forth below and in the documents we incorporate by reference herein contain certain statements that may be considered forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including certain plans, exceptions, goals, projections, and statements, which are subject to numerous risks, assumptions, and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “assume,” “plan,” “target,” or “goal” or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “could” and other expressions which predict or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate to historical matters. Forward-looking statements should not be relied on, because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Company. These risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from the anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
 
The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s financial performance to differ materially from the Company’s goals, plans, objectives, intentions, expectations and other forward-looking statements:
 
weakness in the United States economy in general and the regional and local economies within the New England region and Maine, which could result in a deterioration of credit quality, an increase in the allowance for loan losses or a reduced demand for the Company’s credit or fee-based products and services;
changes in trade, monetary, and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System;
inflation, interest rate, market, and monetary fluctuations;
competitive pressures, including continued industry consolidation and the increased financial services provided by non-banks;
volatility in the securities markets that could adversely affect the value or credit quality of the Company’s assets, impairment of goodwill, the availability and terms of funding necessary to meet the Company’s liquidity needs, and could lead to impairment in the value of securities in the Company's investment portfolio;
changes in information technology that require increased capital spending;
changes in consumer spending and savings habits;
changes in tax, banking, securities and insurance laws and regulations;
changes in accounting policies, practices and standards, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies as well as the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), and other accounting standard setters;
the ability of the Company to successfully integrate SBM Financial, Inc. and The Bank of Maine; and
the ability of the Company to achieve cost savings as a result of the merger or in achieving such cost savings within the projected timeframe.

You should carefully review all of these factors, and be aware that there may be other factors that could cause differences, including the risk factors listed in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014,2015, as updated by the Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, including this report, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described therein and should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
 
These forward-looking statements were based on information, plans and estimates at the date of this report, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events or other changes, except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Critical accounting policies are those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. In preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management is required to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported. Actual results could materially differ from our current estimates as a result of changing conditions and future events. Several estimates are particularly critical and are susceptible to significant near-term change, including (i) the allowance for credit losses; (ii) accounting for acquisitions and the subsequent review of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets generated in an acquisition for impairment; valuation of OREO;(iii) OTTI of investments; effectiveness of hedging derivatives; and(iv) accounting for postretirement plans, stock-based compensation,plans; and (v) income taxes. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.2015. Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20142015 for discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION TO GAAP

In addition to evaluating the Company’s results of operations in accordance with GAAP, management supplements this evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures help investors in understanding the Company’s operating performance and trends and allow for better performance comparisons to other banks. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures remove the impact of unusual items that may obscure trends in the Company’s underlying performance. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP financial results, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other financial institutions.

Efficiency Ratio. The efficiency ratio, which represents an approximate measure of the cost required for the Company to generate a dollar of revenue, is the ratio of (i) total non-interest expense, excluding merger and acquisition costs (the numerator) to (ii) net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (assumed 35% tax rate) plus total non-interest income excluding the net gain on sale of securities (the denominator).

Tangible Book Value Per Share and Tangible Common Equity To Tangible AssetsRatio.  Tangible book value per share is the ratio of (i) shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangibles (the numerator) to (ii) total common shares outstanding at period end (the denominator). We believe this is a meaningful measure as it provides information to assess capital adequacy and is a common measure within our industry.

TangibleThe tangible common equity to tangible assetsratio is the ratio of (i) shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangibles (the numerator) to (ii) total assets less goodwill and other intangibles (the denominator). This ratio is a measure used within our industry to assess whether or not a company is highly leveraged.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
 
Core operating earnings1 and core diluted EPS1, which excludes the effect of merger and acquisition costs and investment security gains, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $7.0 million and $0.93 per share, respectively, representing increases of 8% over the third quarter of 2014. Core operating earnings and core diluted EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $20.5 million and $2.74, representing increases of 13% over the same period of 2014. The increase in core operating earnings for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014 was driven by revenue2 growth of 5% due to a 3% increase in net interest income and a 10% increase in core non-interest income. The increase in core operating earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 was also driven by revenue growth of 5% as net interest income and core non-interest income both increased 5%.

GAAP net income and diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 was $6.5$8.3 million and $0.86$0.81 per share, respectively, representing an increase of 49% and $19.3 million and $2.57 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Net income and diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2015 was flat compared to the third quarter of 2014 as our third quarter 2015 financial results included $766,000 of one-time costs related to the merger with SBM. Net income and diluted EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 each increased 4%8%, respectively, over the same period for 2014, highlightinga year ago. The growth in net income reflects our ability to absorb significant one-time costsincreased earnings capacity as a larger and combined organization since our completion of the acquisition of SBM on October 16, 2015. Core operating earnings(1) and core diluted EPS(1) continue to deliver strong performance.

Our strongbe financial performancemeasures we monitor and measure ourselves against internally as it excludes the impact of non-recurring costs, primarily SBM acquisition-related costs. Core operating earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2016 were $8.8 million, representing an increase of 40% over the same period a year ago, while core diluted EPS increased 1% to $0.85 per share over the same period a year ago. The modest increase in core diluted EPS over the first quarter of 2015 and 2014 are highlightedreflects an increase in weighted-average shares outstanding of 2.8 million shares, or 38%, primarily due to the issuance of 2.7 million shares in the fourth quarter of 2015 associated with the SBM acquisition.

For the first quarter of 2016, our focus was largely on executing our remaining integration initiatives to achieve the operational efficiencies we had set out to complete by the end of the second quarter of 2016 to allow us to meet our $11.4 million cost saves target by year-end as a combined organization. In the first quarter of 2016, we closed HPFC's operations, which included terminating its Boston, Massachusetts, office lease agreement and employees, closing the acquired operations center located in Gardiner, Maine, and consolidating two banking centers into one in Portland, Maine.

With the acquisition of SBM, our mortgage banking platform has become an important revenue stream with loan production now in Southern Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. In the first quarter of 2016, we sold $38.9 million of mortgages that resulted in net gains of $819,000 compared to $4.8 million of mortgage sales and net gains of $129,000 for the first quarter of 2015.

Tangible book value per share grew 5% to $26.48 at March 31, 2016 since year-end. The Company's board of directors approved a $0.30 dividend per common share, reflecting a 37% payout ratio, for payment on April 29, 2016.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the interest earned on loans, securities, and other earninginterest-earning assets, plus net loan fees, origination costs, and accretion or amortization of fair value marks on loans and/or CDs created in purchase accounting, less the interest paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings. Net interest income, which is our largest source of revenue and accounts for approximately78% and 76% of total revenues (net interest income and non-interest income), for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, is affected by factors including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, loan and deposit pricing strategies and competitive conditions, the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets.

Net Interest Income - Three Months Ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and 2014.2015. Net interest income earnedwas $28.5 million on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the thirdfirst quarter of 2015 was $20.52016 compared to $19.8 million the same period a year ago, representing an increase of $801,000, or 4%, compared to the third quarter of 2014. The increase is attributable to our strong loan growth over the past year, highlighted by an increase in average loans of $101.0$8.7 million, or 6%, to $1.8 billion for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014. Our yield on interest-earning assets for the third quarter of 2015 was 3.54%, which represents a decrease of four basis points compared to the third quarter for 2014. Our yield on interest-earning assets continues to decline due to the sustained low interest rate environment as new and refinanced loans are priced at lower current market rates, and, in part, a larger weighting of variable rate loans within our loan mix.

Average core deposits of $1.5 billion for the third quarter of 2015 increased $73.1 million, or 5%, over the third quarter of 2014 driven by higher demand and interest checking deposits of $78.6 million, which are our lowest cost funding sources. Money market balances decreased $36.1 million to $370.0 million for the third quarter of 2015 over the same period for 2014, which was largely due to the $19.8 million decrease in the average money market balances of our wealth management subsidiary, Acadia Trust. These deposits fluctuate with changes in the portfolios of the clients of Acadia Trust.

Total average borrowings for the third quarter of 2015 were $784.9 million, an44%. The increase of $46.3 million, or 6%, compared to the third quarter of 2014, which was driven by higher brokered depositsaverage interest-earning assets of $48.9$807.2 million, usedor 31%, due to fund our strong loan growth over the past year.

Our average costacquisition of funds for$615.2 million of loans in the thirdfourth quarter of 2015 as part of the acquisition of SBM as well as strong organic loan growth period-over-period. Our average loan balance for the first quarter of 2016 totaled $2.5 billion, representing an increase of $720.2 million, or 40%, over the first quarter of 2015. Our NIM (fully-taxable equivalent) for the first quarter of 2016 was 0.47%, representing a decrease3.35% compared to 3.07% for the first quarter of 22015. Our NIM (fully-taxable equivalent) improved period-over-period as our average yield on earning assets for the first quarter of 2016 increased 28 basis points to 3.82% compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2014.2015. Our first quarter 2016 NIM (fully-taxable equivalent) benefited from HPFC's higher yielding commercial loans, as well as from certain non-recurring and non-core income transactions, including (i) collections totaling $370,000 of previously charged-off acquired SBM loans, and (ii) accretion of the loan and CD fair value marks created in purchase accounting totaling $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2016. Excluding these transactions, our loan yield and NIM on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the first quarter of 2016 was 4.13% and 3.18%, respectively.

Our NIMFor the three months ended March 31, 2016, our interest expense associated with deposits and borrowings totaled $4.0 million compared to $3.0 million for the thirdsame period of 2015, representing an increase of $1.0 million, or 34%. Our average funding balance increased 33% primarily due to $687.0 million of deposits acquired as part of the SBM acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2015.

The SBM acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2015 was 3.08%, representingimproved our interest rate risk position in a 2 basis point decreaserising rate environment due to the level of floating rate loans within the acquired loan portfolio as well as total deposits acquired of $687.0 million. Additionally, we continue to utilize customer loans swaps within our commercial real estate loan portfolio to improve our interest rate risk position in a rising rate environment by swapping fixed rate for variable rate. At March 31, 2016, our total notional on customer loan swaps with our borrowers totaled $159.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2014.$142.9 million at December 31, 2015 and $45.8 million at March 31, 2015 (we have matching notional agreements with a counterparty).

Net Interest Income - Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Net interest income earned on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $61.3 million, representing an increase of $3.5 million, or 6%, compared to the same period for 2014. The increase is attributable to our strong loan growth over the past year, highlighted by an increase in average loans of $138.9 million, or 8%, to $1.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 over the same period for 2014. Also contributing to the increase was a one-time income pick-up of $734,000 related to settlement and full pay-off of one significant commercial real estate loan that was on non-accrual status. The income earned on this loan increased our nine months ended September 30, 2015 yield on interest-earnings assets and NIM three and four basis points, respectively. Our yield on interest-earning assets for the first nine months of 2015 excluding the effect of this one-time income pick-up was 3.55%, which represents a decrease of four basis points compared to the same period for 2014. Our yield on interest-earning assets continues to decline due to the sustained low interest rate environment as new and refinanced loans are priced at lower current market rates, and, in part, a larger weighting of variable rate loans within our loan mix.2015:

Average core deposits of $1.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $50.3 million, or 4%, over the same period for 2014. Demand and interest checking deposits increased $62.9 million, or 9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 over the same period of 2014. Money market balances decreased $38.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 over the same period for 2014, which was largely due to the $21.3 million decrease in the average money market balances of our wealth management subsidiary, Acadia Trust. These deposits fluctuate with changes in the portfolios of the clients of Acadia Trust.

Total average borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $796.3 million, an increase of $91.1 million, or 13%, compared to the same period for 2014. The increase was driven by higher brokered deposits of $92.1 million used to fund our strong loan growth over the past year.

Our average cost of funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 0.48%, representing a decrease of two basis points compared to the same period for 2014.

Our NIM for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 3.12%, including the four basis point impact of the one-time income pick-up in the second quarter of $734,000. Our NIM excluding the effect of this one-time income pick-up was 3.08%, representing a two basis point decrease compared to the third quarter of 2014.

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses is made up of our provision for loan losses and the provision for unfunded commitments.

The provision for loan losses, which makes up the vast majority of the provision for credit losses, is a recorded expense determined by management that adjusts the ALL to a level that, in management’s best estimate, is necessary to absorb probable losses within the existing loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses reflects loan quality trends, including, among other factors, the levels of and trends related to non-accrual loans, past due loans, potential problem loans, criticized loans, net charge-offs or recoveries and growth in the loan portfolio. Accordingly, the amount of the provision for loan losses reflects both the necessary increases in the ALL related to newly identified criticized loans, as well as the actions taken related to other loans including, among other things, any necessary increases or decreases in required allowances for specific loans or loan pools.

The provision for unfunded commitments represents management's estimate of the amount required to reflect the probable inherent losses on outstanding letters and unused lines of credit. The reserve for unfunded commitments is presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statement of condition.

The following table outlines the components making up the provision for credit losses as recorded on consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and 2014:2015:

Non-Interest Income - Three Months Ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and 2014.2015.

An increase in mortgage banking incomeservice charges on deposit accounts of $335,000 from the sale of $11.9 million of 30-year fixed rate mortgages in the third quarter of 2015, which generated gains on sale of $249,000, while in the third quarter of 2014 we did not have any loans sales. The remaining increase is reflective of higher servicing assets and servicing fees as the servicing rights were retained for the majority of the loans sold.

46



An increase in other income of $277,000$237,000 was primarily driven by higher income from customer loan swaps of $435,000 as the Company executed loan swap arrangements on commercial real estate loans of $46.0 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared to none in the third quarter of 2014. Partially offsetting this were higher unrealized losses of $111,000 on executive and director deferred compensation plans (noting an offsetting unrealized gain of equal amount is presented within other expenses) and lower income on our third party loan servicing relationships, primarily our MSHA servicing portfolio, of $25,000 compared to the third quarter of 2014.
Non-Interest Income - Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The significant changes in non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months September 30, 2014 are:
An increase in mortgage banking income of $778,000 from the sale of $24.5 million of 30-year fixed rate mortgages for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 that generated gains on sale of $541,000, compared to gains of $17,000 for the same period last year. The remaining increase is reflective of higher servicing assets as the servicing rights were retained for the majority of the loans sold.
An increase in bank-owned life insurance of $292,000primary due to the additional $10.0 million investment made inSBM acquisition and the third quarteraddition of 2014.approximately 30,000 customer checking accounts driving higher overdraft fees.


An increase in other service charges and fees of $192,000$818,000 was primarily driven by higherdue to the SBM acquisition and the addition of approximately 30,000 new customer checking accounts driving an increase in debit card income of $183,000,$720,000 and 29 ATMs driving higher ATM fees of which $54,000$57,000.
An increase in mortgage banking income of $569,000 was an annual incentive fee receiveddriven by: (i) sale of $38.9 million of mortgages in the first quarter of 2016, which generated net gains on sale of $819,000, compared to $4.8 million of mortgage sales and net gains of $129,000 for the first quarter of 2015; and (ii) higher unrealized gains recorded on interest rate lock commitments of $290,000 due to a significant increase in our loan pipeline at March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015 through the expansion of our mortgage banking business over the past year; partially offset by lower mortgage servicing income of $411,000 driven by higher prepayment activity and higher prepayment speed assumptions resulting in higher MSR amortization and a valuation adjustment. At March 31, 2016, our MSRs of $1.6 million were 0.43% of the respective serviced loan portfolio compared to 0.35% at March 31, 2015.
An increase in other income of $144,000$188,000 was primarily driven by higher income on customer loan swaps of $458,000 forother fees earned due to a larger customer-base from the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period for 2014, partially offset bySBM acquisition, as well as higher unrealized losses on executive and director deferred compensation plans of $176,000 (noting an offsetting unrealized gain of equal amount is presented within other expenses) and lower income on our third partycustomer loan servicing relationships, primarily our MSHA servicing portfolio,swap program of $99,000 compared to the same period$34,000 and higher early withdrawal penalties on CDs of 2014.

Investment Securities
We purchase and hold investment securities including municipal bonds, MBS (pass through securities and CMOs), subordinated corporate bonds and FHLB and FRB stock to diversify our revenues, interest rate and credit risk, and to provide for liquidity and funding needs.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we classified all municipal bonds purchased as HTM securities. In total, we purchased $55.4$3.9 million of municipal bonds year-to-date. We have the intent and ability, evidenced by our strong capital and liquidity ratios, to hold these investments to maturity. The remaining $81.3$66.9 million of securities purchased were a collectioncombination of MBS, CMO and CMOsubordinated corporate debt securities.

The decrease in non-performing assets at September 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 was due, in part, to the migration of loans from non-performing status to performing status as the financial condition of our borrowers has improved, but also was largely due to (i) the full pay-off of one significant commercial real estate loan of $1.9 million that was on non-accrual status in the second quarter of 2015 and (ii) the decrease in our OREO portfolio of $1.4 million since year-end. We continue to see favorable trends across our asset quality metrics supporting a reduced provision for credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $260,000 and $696,000, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago.

Our non-performing assets to total assets ratio at March 31, 2016 was 0.56%, representing a decrease of 10 basis points since year-end. The decrease in non-performing assets period-over-period was driven by the decrease in non-accrual loans. At March 31, 2016, non-accrual loans totaled $15.4 million, representing a decrease of $2.9 million since year-end. The decrease in non-accrual loans in the first quarter of 2016 was primarily driven by liquidation and auction activity.

Potential Problem Loans.  Potential problem loans consist of classified accruing commercial and commercial real estate loans that were between 30 and 89 days past due. Such loans are characterized by weaknesses in the financial condition of borrowers or collateral deficiencies. Based on historical experience, the credit quality of some of these loans may improve due to changes in collateral values or the financial condition of the borrowers, while the credit quality of other loans may deteriorate, resulting in a loss. These loans are not included in the above analysis of non-accrual loans. At September 30, 2015 andMarch 31, 2016, potential problem loans amounted to $3.8 million, or 0.15% of total loans, compared to $649,000, or 0.03% of total loans, at December 31, 2014, we had one potential problem loan in the commercial portfolio. The loan balance at risk at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $183,000 and $162,000, respectively.2015.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  We use a methodology to systematically measure the amount of estimated loan loss exposure inherent in the loan portfolio for purposes of establishing a sufficient ALL. The ALL is management’s best estimate of the probable loan losses as of the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to earnings and by recoveries of amounts previously charged-off, and is reduced by charge-offs on loans.

The determination of an appropriate level of ALL, and subsequent provision for loan losses which affects earnings, is based on our analysis of various economic factors and review of the loan portfolio. During our analysis and review, many factors are considered including, but not limited to, loan growth, payoffs of lower quality loans, recoveries on previously charged-off loans, improvement in the financial condition of the borrowers, risk rating downgrades/upgrades and charge-offs. We utilize a comprehensive approach toward determining the ALL, which includes an expanded risk rating system to assist us in identifying the risks being undertaken.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we provided $281,000 and $972,000$870,000 of provision expense to the ALL compared to $534,000 and $1.7 million$440,000 for the same periodsperiod for 2014,2015, respectively. The decreaseincrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to improvementdriven by: (i) elevated net charge-offs in the general economic conditionfirst quarter of our borrowers supported by a decrease in annualized net charge-offs of 12 and 6 basis points, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20152016 compared to the same periods for 2014. Furthermore,first quarter of 2015 of $406,000, which drove an increase in our asset quality metrics have continuednet charge-offs (annualized) to show favorable trends as non-accrualaverage loans ratio of four basis points period-over-period; and (ii) the migration of performing loans to totalclassified in the first quarter of 2016. At March 31, 2016, loans have decreased 39 basis pointsclassified as special mention (risk rated 7) totaled $43.5 million, representing an increase of $8.7 million since year-end to 0.55%, and non-performing assets to total assets has decreased 28 basis points to 0.54%. The improving asset quality metrics is reflective of the resolution of problem loans over recent years.year-end.

We believe the ALL of $21.1$21.3 million, or 1.15%0.86% of total loans and 139.27%106.86% of total non-performing loans, at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 was appropriate given the current economic conditions in our service area and the condition of the loan portfolio. However, if conditions deteriorate the provision will likely increase.



Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity
Deposits and Borrowings. Total deposits (including brokered deposits) at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 were $2.0$2.7 billion, an increaserepresenting a decrease of $76.1$51.5 million, or 4%2%, since December 31, 2014. The increase was driven by (i) higher coreyear-end. Core deposits (demand, interest checking, savings and money market) at March 31, 2016 totaled $2.0 billion, representing a decrease of $42.1 million, or 3%, largely1% since year-end, which was consistent with the same period a year ago, due to the seasonality and cyclical nature of Maine's markets. Specifically, non-interest bearing demand deposits increased 17% over this period.core deposit flows within our market. CDs decreased $34.0 million, or 7%, since year-end, primarily due to the maturity and non-renewal of one significant government account totaling $30.0 million.

Total borrowings at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 were $563.9$659.1 million, a decreaserepresenting an increase of $13.1$86.7 million, or 2%15%, since December 31, 2014.2015. The decreaseincrease in borrowings was due to the reductionan increase in FHLBB overnight and short-term advances of $28.1$62.3 million due to the increaseaforementioned decrease in funding from core deposits and higher customer repurchase agreements of $16.0 million.deposits.

Shareholders' Equity. Total shareholders' equity at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 was $259.4$375.5 million, representing an increase of $14.3$12.3 million, or 6%3%, since December 31, 2014.2015. The increase was largely due to net income of $19.3$8.3 million for the ninefirst quarter of 2016 and an increase in unrealized gains on AFS securities of $7.8 million due to change in interest rates for the three months ended September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, partially offset by dividends paid of $0.90 per share over this period totaling $7.6 million. Our third quarter 2015 dividend declared and paid on October 30, 2015 increased $834,000 overin the secondfirst quarter of 2015 due to the issuance2016 of 2,749,762 shares on October 16, 2015 in connection with the Merger with SBM. We also incurred equity issuance costs of $537,000 associated with the registration of shares for the Merger with SBM.

LIQUIDITY
 
Our liquidity needs require the availability of cash to meet the withdrawal demands of depositors and credit commitments to borrowers. Liquidity is defined as our ability to maintain availability of funds to meet customer needs, as well as to support our asset base. The primary objective of liquidity management is to maintain a balance between sources and uses of funds to meet our cash flow needs in the most economical and expedient manner. Due to the potential for unexpected fluctuations in both deposits and loans, active management of liquidity is necessary. We maintain various sources of funding and levels of liquid assets in excess of regulatory guidelines in order to satisfy their varied liquidity demands. We monitor liquidity in accordance with internal guidelines and all applicable regulatory requirements. As of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and 2014,December 31, 2015, our level of liquidity exceeded target levels. We believe that we currently have appropriate liquidity available to respond to liquidity demands. Sources of funds that we utilize consist of deposits,deposits; borrowings from the FHLBB and other sources,sources; cash flows from operations,operations; prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans,loans; investments and mortgage-backed securities, of which the fair value at March 31, 2016 of investment securities designated as AFS, were in an unrealized gain position and were not pledged as collateral totaled $231.5 million; and the sale of mortgage loans.

Deposits continue to represent our primary source of funds. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, average deposits (excluding brokered deposits) of $1.7$2.5 billion increased $32.0$790.2 million, or 2%46%, compared to the same periodfirst quarter of 2014.2015. Average core deposits of $1.4$1.9 billion for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 increased $50.3$595.5 million, or 43%, compared to the same periodfirst quarter of 2015 was due to organic growth, as well as the acquired deposits (excluding brokered deposits) and core deposits in 2014, while CDs decreased $18.3connection with the SBM acquisition of $687.0 million to $313.7 million.and $497.4 million, respectively, on October 16, 2015. Included within our money market deposit category are deposits from our wealth management subsidiary, Acadia Trust, which represent client funds. The deposits in the Acadia Trust client accounts, totaled $63.3$70.0 million at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016. These deposits fluctuate with changes in the portfolios of the clients of Acadia Trust.
 
Borrowings are used to supplement deposits as a source of liquidity. In addition to borrowings and advances from the FHLBB, we utilize brokered deposits, purchase federal funds, and sell securities under agreements to repurchase. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 average total borrowings (including brokered deposits) increased $91.1$31.4 million to $796.3$823.2 million compared to the same period for 2014. The increase in average borrowings was driven by an increase brokered depositsfirst quarter of $92.1 million. The increase in average borrowings was to fund our strong loan growth during 2015 and has proven to be a cost effective short-term funding source.2015. We secure borrowings from the FHLBB, whose advances remain the largest non-deposit-related funding source, with qualified residential real estate loans, certain investment securities and certain other assets available to be pledged. Through the Bank, we have available lines of credit with the FHLBB of $9.9 million, with PNC Bank of $50.0 million, and with the FRB Discount Window of $63.4$65.6 million as of September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016. We had no outstanding balances on these lines of credit at September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016. Long-term borrowings represent securities sold under repurchase agreements with major brokerage firms. Both wholesale and customer repurchase agreements are secured by mortgage-backed securities and government-sponsored enterprises. The Company also has a $10.0 million line of credit with a maturity date of December 20, 2015.2016. We had no outstanding balance on these lines of credit at September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016.

We believe the investment portfolio and residential loan portfolio provide a significant amount of contingent liquidity that could be accessed in a reasonable time period through sales of those portfolios. We also believe that we have additional untapped access to the brokered deposit market, wholesale reverse repurchase transaction market and the FRB discount window. These sources are considered as liquidity alternatives in our contingent liquidity plan. We believe that the level of liquidity is sufficient to meet current and future funding requirements; however, changes in economic conditions, including consumer saving habits and the availability or access to the national brokered deposit and wholesale repurchase markets, could significantly impact our liquidity position.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

As part of our goal to operate a safe, sound and profitable financial organization, we are committed to maintaining a strong capital base. Shareholders’ equity totaled $259.4$375.5 million, $245.1$363.2 million and $239.9$251.8 million at September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, December 31, 20142015 and September 30, 2014,March 31, 2015, respectively, which amounted to 10%, 10% and 9%, respectively, of total assets as of the respective dates. Refer to "— Financial Condition — Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity" for discussion regarding changes in shareholders' equity since December 31, 2014.2015.

Our principal cash requirement is the payment of dividends on our common stock, as and when declared by the Board of Directors. We paiddeclared dividends to shareholders in the aggregate amount of $7.6$3.1 million and $6.0$2.2 million for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2016 and 2015, and 2014, respectively. The increase in dividends declared in the first quarter of 2016 of $894,000 compared to the first quarter of 2015 was due to the increase in common shares outstanding in connection with the SBM acquisition for which 2.7 million shares were issued. Our Board of Directors approves cash dividends on a quarterly basis after careful analysis and consideration of various factors, including the following: (i) capital position relative to total assets, (ii) risk-based assets, (iii) total classified assets, (iv) economic conditions, (v) growth rates for total assets and total liabilities, (vi) earnings performance and projections and (vii) strategic initiatives and related capital requirements. All dividends declared and distributed by the Company will be in compliance with applicable state corporate law and regulatory requirements.
 
We are primarily dependent upon the payment of cash dividends by our subsidiaries to service our commitments. We, as the sole shareholder of our subsidiaries, are entitled to dividends, when and as declared by each subsidiary’s Board of Directors from legally available funds. The Bank declared dividends in the aggregate amount of $39.2$4.8 million which includes a $30.0 million special dividend related to the acquisition of SBM, and $9.5$3.2 million for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2016 and 2015, and 2014, respectively. Under regulations prescribed by the OCC, without prior OCC approval, the Bank may not declare dividends in any year in excess of the Bank’s (i) net income for the current year, (ii) plus its retained net income for the prior two years. If we are required to use dividends from the Bank to service unforeseen commitments in the future, we may be required to reduce the dividends paid to our shareholders going forward.

Please refer to Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion and details of the Company and Bank's capital regulatory requirements. At September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, the Company and Bank met all regulatory capital requirements and the Bank continues to be classified as "Well Capitalized""well capitalized" under the prompt correction action provisions.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
 
In the normal course of business, we are a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, which are not reflected in the consolidated statements of condition. These financial instruments include lending commitments and letters of credit. Those instruments involve varying degrees of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of condition. We follow the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments, including requiring similar collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At September 30, 2015March 31, 2016, we had the following levels of commitments to extend credit:

Borrowings from the FHLBB consist of short- and long-term fixed- and variable-rate borrowings and are collateralized by all stock in the FHLBB and a blanket lien on qualified collateral consisting primarily of loans with first mortgages secured by one- to four-family properties, certain pledged investment securities and other qualified assets. Other borrowed funds include securities sold under repurchase agreements and our junior subordinated debentures scheduled to mature in 2036. We have an obligation and commitment to repay all borrowings and debentures. These commitments, borrowings, junior subordinated debentures and the related payments are made during the normal course of business.

WeDerivatives
Hedge Instruments: From time to time, we may enter into derivative instruments as partial hedges against large fluctuations in interest rates. We may also enter into fixed-rate interest rate swaps and floor instruments to partially hedge against potentially lower yields on the variable prime rate loan category in a declining rate environment. If interest rates were to decline, resulting in reduced income on the adjustable rate loans, there would be an increased income flow from the interest rate swap and floor instrument. We may also enter into variable rate interest rate swaps and cap instruments to partially hedge against increases in short-term borrowing rates. If interest rates were to rise, resulting in an increased interest cost, there would be an increased income flow from the interest rate swaps and cap instruments. These financial instruments are factored into our overall interest rate risk position. We regularly review the credit quality of the counterparty from which the instruments have been purchased.

At September 30,March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015,, we had $43.0 million of notional in interest rate swaps on our junior subordinated debentures. The arrangement allowed us to fix our floating rate debentures and mitigate our interest exposure in a rising rate environment. In FebruaryAt March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the interest rate swaps were in a loss position of $11.9 million and $9.2 million, respectively, and were recorded as a liability within our consolidated statements of condition.

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we entered intohad $50.0 million of notional on two forward interest rate swap agreements with a counterparty for a total notionaltranches of $50.0 million. These arrangements are scheduled to commenceforecasted 30-day FHLBB advances. Each derivative arrangement commenced on February 25, 2016, with one contract set to expire on February 25, 2018 and will provide us fixedthe other on February 25, 2019. We entered into these forecasted interest rate swaps to mitigate our interest rate exposure on borrowings forin a 2rising interest rate environment. At March 31, 2016 and 3 year period atDecember 31, 2015, the forecasted interest ratesrate swaps were in a loss position of 1.54%$1.1 million and 1.74%, respectively. $576,000 and were recorded as a liability within our consolidated statements of condition.

Refer to Note 11 toof the consolidated financial statements for additional details offurther details.



Customer Loan Swaps: In our normal course lending with commercial real estate customers, we will enter into interest rate swaps with qualifying commercial customers, from time to time, to provide them with a means to lock into a long-term fixed rate, while simultaneously entering into an arrangement with a counterparty to swap the long-term fixed rate loan to variable rate to allow us to effectively manage our interest rate exposure. Unlike the aforementioned cash flow hedges above, these arrangements includingare not designated as hedges and provide little risk to us as the fair value asinterest rate swap agreements have substantially equivalent and offsetting terms. We mitigate our commercial customer counterparty credit risk exposure through our loan policy and underwriting process, which includes credit approval limits, monitoring procedures, and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. We mitigate our institutional counterparty credit risk exposure by limiting the institutions for which we will enter into interest swap arrangements through an approved listing by the Company's board of September 30, 2015 and the accounting treatment.directors.

At September 30,March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015,, we had a notional amount of $85.7$159.8 million and $142.9 million, respectively, in interest rate swap agreements with commercial customers and an equal notional amount with a dealer bank related to our commercial loan level derivativeswap program. This program allows us to retain variable-rate commercial loans while allowingAt March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the customer to synthetically fix the loan rate by entering into a variable- for fixed- interest rate swap. It is anticipated that, over time, customer interest rate derivatives will reducefair value of these arrangements were $9.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively, and were recorded gross on our consolidated statements of condition as assets and liabilities. As the interest rate swap agreements have substantially equivalent and offsetting terms, they do not materially change our interest rate risk inherent in the longer-term, fixed-rate commercial business. or present any material exposure to our consolidated statements of income.

Refer to Note 11 toof the consolidated financial statements for additional detailsfurther details.

Interest Rate Locks: As part of these arrangements, includingour normal mortgage origination process, we provide potential borrowers with the option to lock their interest rate based on current market prices. During the period from commitment date to the loan closing date, we are subject to interest rate risk as market rates fluctuate. In an effort to mitigate such risk, we may enter into forward delivery sales commitments, typically on a "best-efforts" basis, with certain approved investors.

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had a notional amount of $34.2 million and $20.7 million, respectively, of interest rate lock commitments on mortgages within our loan pipeline. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value of our interest rate locks was $431,000 and $139,000, respectively, and was recorded as assets on our consolidated statements of September 30,condition. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded unrealized gains on these interest rate lock commitments of $292,000 and $2,000, respectively, within mortgage banking income (net) on the accounting treatment.consolidated statements of income.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss to earnings, capital and the economic values of certain assets and liabilities arising from adverse changes to interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity prices. Our only significant market risk exposure is changes in interest rate risk.rates. The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of our asset/liability management process, which is governed by policies established by the Bank’s board of directors, and are reviewed and approved annually. The Board ALCO delegates responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability management policies to Management ALCO. In this capacity, Management ALCO develops guidelines and strategies impacting our asset/liability management-related activities based upon estimated interest rate risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels/trends. Management ALCO and Board ALCO jointly meet on a quarterly basis to review strategies, policies, economic conditions and various activities as part of the management of these risks. Management ALCO manages interest rate risk by using two risk measurement techniques: (i) simulation of net interest income and (ii) simulation of economic value of equity. These measures are complementary and provide for both short and long-term risk profiles of the Company.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates change, the interest income and expense streams associated with our financial instruments also change, thereby impacting net interest income, the primary component of our earnings. Board ALCO and Management ALCO utilize the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. Board ALCO and Management ALCO routinely monitor simulated net interest income sensitivity over a rolling five-year horizon.

The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates, interest rate indices and spreads, rate caps and floors on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reflected on our consolidated statements of condition, as well as for derivative financial instruments, if any. The simulation of net interest income also requires a number of key assumptions such as: (i) no balance sheet growth, (ii) the future balance sheet mix, including prepayment assumptions for loans and securities projected under each rate scenario, (iii) new business loan rates that are based on recent origination experience, (iv) deposit pricing beta assumptions, and (v) non-maturity decay ratesrate estimates. These assumptions can be inherently uncertain, and, as a result, actual results may differ from the simulation forecasts due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of rate changes, future business conditions and unanticipated changes in management strategies. This sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one- and two-year horizon given a 200 basis point upward and downward shift in interest rates. Although our policy specifies a downward shift of 200 basis points, this would results in negative rates as many deposit and funding rates are now below 2.00%. Our current downward shift is 100 basis points. A parallel and pro rata shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed. Using this approach, we are able to produce simulation results that illustrate the effect that both a gradual change of rates have on earnings expectations. In the down 100 basis points scenario, Federal Funds and Treasury yields are floored at 0.01% while Prime is floored at 3.00%. All other market rates are floored at 0.25%.

For the nine months ended September 30,As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, and 2014, our net interest income sensitivity analysis reflected the following changes to net interest income. All rate changes were “ramped” over the first 12-month period and then maintained at those levels over the remainder of the ALCO simulation horizon.

The most significant factors affecting the changes in market risk exposure for the nine months ended September 30,at March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015 were loan growth, an increasingthe acquisition of SBM, which increased the mix of variable rate loans and short-term funding.increased core deposits, and an increase in back-to-back loan swaps. If rates remain at or near current levels, net interest income is projected to be virtually flat as loan rates have repriced to current rates and the cost of funds remains unchanged. Beyond the first year, net interest income also remains flat.increases slightly. If rates decrease 100 basis points, net interest income is projected to decrease slightly as changes in loan and funding costs almost offset in the first year. In the second year, net interest income is projected to continue to decrease as loans and investment cash flow reprice into lower yields primarily due toas prepayments increase while there is limited ability to reduce the cost of funds.funds remains flat. If rates increase 200 basis points, net interest income is projected to decrease in the first year due to the repricing of short-term funding. Then in the second year, net interest income is projected to increase as loans and investments continue to reprice/reset into higher yields while the cost of funds stabilize andlag. At this point, the reinvestment of loan and investment cash flows reprice to higher yields but is insufficient to exceed our base net interest income.Company's balance sheet becomes asset sensitive. In year'syears three to five, the loan and investment cash flows continue to reprice as the cost of funds lags increasing net interest income above our base as the balance sheet shifts to being asset sensitive.base.

The economic value of equity at risk simulation is conducted in tandem with the net interest income simulations, to determine a longer term view of the Company’s interest rate risk position by capturing longer-term re-pricing risk and option-risk embedded in the balance sheet. It measures the sensitivity of economic value of equity to changes in interest rates. The economic value of equity at risk simulation values only the current balance sheet. As with net interest income modeling, this simulation captures product characteristics such as loan resets, re-pricing terms, maturity dates, rate caps and floors. Key assumptions include loan prepayment speeds, deposit pricing betas and non-maturity deposit decay rates. These assumptions can have significant impacts on valuation results as the assumptions remain in effect for the entire life of each asset and liability. All key assumptions are subject to a periodic review.

Our base case economic value of equity at risk is calculated by estimating the net present value of all future cash flows from existing assets and liabilities using current interest rates. The base case scenario assumes that future interest rates remain unchanged.

Periodically, if deemed appropriate, we use interest rate swaps, floors and caps, which are common derivative financial instruments, to hedge our interest rate risk position. The Company’s Board of Directors has approved hedging policy statements governing the use of these instruments. At September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we had $43.0 million notional principal amount of interest rate swap agreements related to our junior subordinated debentures, $50.0 million notional principal amount of forward-starting interest rate swap agreements related to our short-term funding and $171.3$159.8 million notional principal amount of interest rate swap agreements related to the Company’s commercial loan level derivative program. The Board ALCO and Management ALCO monitor derivative activities relative to their expectations and our hedging policies.
