Note 1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Nature of Operations
United Financial Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or “United”) is headquartered in Glastonbury, Connecticut, and through United Bank (the “Bank”) and various subsidiaries, delivers financial services to individuals, families and businesses primarily throughout Connecticut and Massachusetts through 53 banking offices, its commercial loan production offices, its mortgage loan production offices, 6365 ATMs, telephone banking, mobile banking and online banking (www.bankatunited.com).
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated interim financial statements and the accompanying notes presented in this report include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, United Bank Mortgage Company, United Bank Investment Corp., Inc., United Bank Commercial Properties, Inc., United Bank Residential Properties, Inc., United Northeast Financial Advisors, Inc., United Bank Investment Sub, Inc., UCB Securities, Inc. II, UB Properties, LLC, United Financial Realty HC, Inc. and United Financial Business Trust I. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 20162017 or any future period. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 20152016 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in United Financial Bancorp, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016.
Common Share Repurchases
The Company is chartered in the state of Connecticut. Connecticut law does not provide for treasury shares, rather shares repurchased by the Company constitute authorized, but unissued shares. GAAP states that accounting for treasury stock shall conform to state law. Therefore, the cost of shares repurchased by the Company has been allocated to common stock balances.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the 20162017 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or net change in cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from management’s estimates and assumptions. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the realizability of deferred tax assets, the evaluation of securities for other-than-temporary impairment, the valuation of derivative instruments and hedging activities, and goodwill impairment valuations.

Note 2. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted
The following list identifies Account Standards Updates (“ASUs”) applicable to the Company that have been issued but are not yet effective:
Compensation
In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2017-09 Compensation, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modified Accounting. This update amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements and provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718. Specifically, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions and classification of the awards
are the same immediately before and after the modification. This ASU is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for entities whose financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. This ASU is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07 Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. Under the new guidance, employers will present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Employers are required to include all other components of net benefit cost in a separate line item from the service cost. Employers will have to disclose the line used to present the other components of net periodic benefit cost, if the components are not presented separately in the income statement. ASU 2017-07 is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted in the first financial statements issued for a fiscal year, provided all provisions of the ASU are adopted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Receivables
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08 Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. Under the new guidance, the premium on bonds purchased at a premium will be amortized to the bond’s call date rather than the date of maturity to more closely align interest income recorded on bonds held at a premium or a discount with the economics of the underlying instrument. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. As of June 30, 2017, this ASU is expected to have an impact of reducing approximately $6.9 million of premiums to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, with the offset being a reduction in retained earnings upon initial adoption.
Intangibles
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test, which requires hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The new guidance will simplify financial reporting since it eliminates that need to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to measure the goodwill impairment. Currently, failing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test did not necessarily result in impairment. However, under the new guidance, failing Step 1 will always result in impairment. This ASU will be applied prospectively, and is effective for public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filers for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment test performed after January 1, 2017. This ASU is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Taxes
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory as a part of the Board’s simplification initiative. Currently, the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers (intercompany sales) are deferred until the transferred asset is sold to third party or otherwise recovered through use. Under the new ASU, the selling (transferring) entity is required to recognize a current tax expense or benefit upon transfer of the asset. Similarly, the purchasing (receiving) entity is required to recognize a deferred tax asset (DTA) or deferred tax liability (DTL), as well as the related deferred tax benefit or expense, upon receipt of the asset. The new guidance does not apply to intra-entity transfers of inventory. The new guidance will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years (i.e., in the first quarter of 2018 for calendar year-end companies). Early adoption is permitted. The modified retrospective approach will be required for transition to the new guidance, with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded in retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The cumulative-effect adjustment would consist of the net impact from (1) the write-off of any unamortized tax expense previously deferred and (2) recognition of any previously unrecognized deferred tax assets, net of any necessary valuation allowance. This ASU is expected to have an impact on the Company’s deferred tax recognition due to transfers between separate companies in the consolidated group however it is not expected to have a material financial statement impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Statement of Cash Flows
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)ASU No. 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments as part of the consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force. The new guidance is intended to address eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducingreduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The issues identified withinThis ASU clarifies whether the ASU include:following items should be categorized as operating, investing or financing on the statement of cash flows; 1) debt prepayments and extinguishment costs, 2) settlement of zero-coupon debt, 3) settlement of contingent consideration,consideration. 4) insurance proceeds, 5)
settlement of corporate-owned lifelike insurance (COLI) and bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) policies, 6) distributions from equity method investees, 7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and 8) receipts and payments with aspects of more than one class of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluatingpermitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the impactamendments in an interim period, any adjustment should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. This ASU is expected to have an impact on the disclosures in the Company’s StatementsConsolidated Statement of Cash Flows, but does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Flows.
Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which amends the Board’s guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The ASU adds to US GAAP an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. The ASU is also intended to reduce the complexity of US GAAP by decreasing the number of credit impairment models that entities use to account for debt instruments. For public business entities that are US Securities and Exchange Commission filers, such as the Company, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities may adopt theThe amendments in this Update may be adopted earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ThisThe Company is evaluating the provisions of ASU potentially could have a significant2016-13 and will closely monitor developments and additional guidance to determine the potential impact on the Company’s allowance for loan losses, however, no assessment ofConsolidated Financial Statements. The Company expects the potential impact has been determined. Efforts arechange in processloss methodologies from an incurred loss model to quantify and prepare foran expected loss model to result in changes to the ASU’s effective date.
Compensation
In March 2016,Consolidated Financial Statements. The expected credit loss model will require a financial asset to be presented at the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvementsnet amount expected to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative aimed at reducing complexity in accounting standards. This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including; accounting for income taxes; classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows; forfeitures; statutory tax withholding requirements; classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and; classification of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoptionbe collected. The Company is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. This ASU is not expectedprocess of identifying and implementing required changes to haveloan loss estimation models and processes and evaluating the impact of this new accounting guidance, which at the date of adoption will impact retained earnings through a significant impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.
Derivatives and Hedging
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments as part of the consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force. This ASU addresses inconsistent interpretations of whether an event that triggers an entity’s ability to exercise the embedded contingent option must be indexed to interest rates or credit risk for that option to qualify as clearly and closely related. The ASU clarifies that in assessing whether an embedded contingent put or call option is clearly and closely related to the debt host, an entity is required to perform only the four-step decision sequence in ASC 815-15-25-42 as amended by the ASU. The entity does not have to separately assess whether the event that triggers its ability to exercise the contingent option is itself indexed only to interest rates or credit risk. For public business entities, the amendments in the ASU are effective for annual reporting periods, and interim period therein, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.one-time adjustment.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). This ASU consists of three sections: Section A- Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification; Section B - Conforming Amendments Related to Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification; and Section C - Background Information and Basis for Conclusions. This ASU introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet and aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in the new revenue recognition standard, ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers. The new leases standard represents a whole-sale change to lease accounting and will most likely result in significant implementation challenges during the transition period and beyond. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. The new guidance will be effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (i.e. calendar periods beginning on January 1, 2019), and interim periods therein. For all other entities, the ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e. calendar periods beginning on January 1, 2020), and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption will be permitted for all entities. This ASUIt is required that to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. As of June 30, 2017, the future minimum lease commitments totaled $43.1 million. The Company does not expectedexpect the present value of the future lease payments to have a significantmaterial impact on the Company’s financial statements.Consolidated Financial Statements.
Financial InstrumentsRevenue Recognition
In January 2016,May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-012014-09 Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): RecognitionRevenue From Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU consists of three sections: Section A-Summary and Measurement of FinancialAmendments That Create Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Other Assets and Financial Liabilities.Deferred Costs-Contracts with Customers (Subtopic 340-40); Section B-Conforming Amendments to Other Topics and Subtopics in the Codification and Status Tables; and Section C-Background Information and Basis for Conclusions. This ASU requiresprovides a revenue recognition framework for entities that either enter into a contract with customers to carry all investments in equity securities, including other ownership interests such as partnerships, unincorporated joint venturestransfer goods or services or enter into a contract for the transfer of non-financial assets (unless the contracts are outside the scope of the standard). The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Many amendments were made to help clarify the intention and limited liability companies, at fair value through net income.scope of this ASU. This new requirementASU is currently effective for periods after December 15, 2017, and interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Since many of the Company’s revenue streams are scoped out of this revenue standard, the Company does not apply to investments that qualify for the equity method of accounting or to those that result in consolidation of these investments. Theexpect a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. This ASU supersedes current guidance and no longer requires equity securities with readily determinable fair valuewill continue to be classified into categories (i.e. trading or available for sale). The ASU clarifiesevaluated as more issues relevant to the Banking Industry are addressed.
that when identifying observable price changes, an entity should consider relevant transactions “that are known or can reasonably be known“ and that an entity is not required to spend undue cost and effort to identify such transactions. The ASU also indicates that an entity should consider a security’s rights and obligations, such as voting rights, distribution rights and preferences, and conversion features, when evaluating whether the security issued by the same issuer is similar to the equity security held by the entity. The ASU further provides for the elimination of disclosure requirements related to financial instruments measured at amortized cost. For public business entities, the new standard will require disclosure of fair value using the exit price notion for all financial instruments measured at amortized cost. Pursuant to the ASU, recognition and measurement will take effect for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all entities, the ASU permits early adoption of the instrument-specific credit risk provision. Additionally, for non-public entities, it permits early adoption of the exemption provisions related to disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments measured at amortized cost.

ManagementBased on its detailed quarterly review of the securities portfolio, management believes that no individual unrealized loss as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 represents an other-than-temporary impairment, based on its detailed quarterly review of the securities portfolio.impairment. Among other things, the other-than-temporary impairment review of the investment securities portfolio focuses on the combined factors of percentage and length of time by which an issue is below book value as well as consideration of issuer specific information (present value of cash flows expected to be collected, issuer rating changes and trends, credit worthiness and review of underlying collateral), broad market details and the Company’s intent to sell the security or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the debt security before recovering its cost. The Company also considers whether the depreciation is due to interest rates, market changes, or credit risk.
The following paragraphs outline the Company’s position related to unrealized losses in its investment securities portfolio at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.
Government-sponsored residential mortgage backed securities, residential collateralized debt obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and commercial collateralized debt obligations. The unrealized losses on certain securities within the Company’s government-sponsored residentialmortgage-backed and collateralized debt obligationsobligation portfolios were caused by the continued pickup ofincrease in prepayment speeds given the overall drop in the government curve over the period, which encouraged further refinancing relative to original purchase expectations.the prepayment expectations at the time of purchase. The Company monitors this risk, and therefore, strives to minimize premiums within this security class. The Company does not expect these securities to settle at a price less than the par value of the securities.
Asset-backed securities. The unrealized losses on certain securities within the Company’s asset-backed securities portfolio were largely driven by slight increases in the spreads of the respective sectors’ asset classescertain managers over comparable securitiessecurities’ managers relative to the time of purchase. The majority of these securities have resetting coupons that adjust on a quarterly basis and the market credit and liquidity spreads on similar securities have increased. Based on the credit profiles and asset qualities of the individual securities, management does not believe that the securities have suffered from any credit related losses at this time. The Company does not expect these securities to settle at a price less than the par value of the securities.
Corporate debt securities. The unrealized losses on corporate debt securities is primarily related to one pooled trust preferred security, Preferred Term Security XXVIII, Ltd (“PRETSL XXVIII”). The unrealized loss on this security is caused by the low interest rate environment, asenvironment; the security reprices quarterly toat the three month3-month LIBOR rate and the security’s spread is low, as compared to market spreads on similar newly issued securities that have increased. No loss of principal is projected. Based on the existing credit profile, management does not believe that this security has suffered from any credit related losses. The unrealized loss on the remainder of the corporate credit portfolio has been driven primarily by overall wider credit spreads on certain securitiesan upward shift in rates relative to the time of purchase.
Obligations of states and political subdivisions. The unrealized loss on obligations of states and political subdivisions relates to several69 securities, with no geographic concentration. The unrealized loss was largely due to aan upward shift in the spreads on the short end of the municipal spread curverates relative to the spreads on the bonds at the time of purchase.
Marketable equitypurchase of certain securities.The unrealized loss on marketable equity securities largely pertains to widening credit spreads and higher rates for certain affected securities relative to their respective purchase.
The Company will continue to review its entire portfolio for other-than-temporarily impaired securities.

Allowance for Loan Losses
Management has established a methodology to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The ALL is established as embedded losses are estimated to have occurred through the provisions for losses charged against operations and is maintained at a level that management considers adequate to absorb losses in the loan portfolio. Management’s judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is inherently subjective and is based on past loan loss experience, known and inherent losses and size of the loan portfolios, an assessment of current
economic and real estate market conditions, estimates of the current value of underlying collateral, review of regulatory authority examination reports and other relevant factors. An allowance is maintained for impaired loans to reflect the difference, if any, between the carrying value of the loan and the present value of the projected cash flows, observable fair value or collateral value. Loans are charged-off against the ALL when management believes that the uncollectibility of principal is confirmed. Any subsequent recoveries are credited to the ALL when received. In connection with the determination of the ALL, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties, when considered necessary.
The ALL is maintained at a level estimated by management to provide for probable losses inherent within the loan portfolio. Probable losses are estimated based upon a quarterly review of the loan portfolio, which includes historic default and loss experience, specific problem loans, risk rating profile, economic conditions and other pertinent factors which, in management’s judgment, warrant current recognition in the loss estimation process.
The adequacy of the ALL is subject to considerable assumptions and judgment used in its determination. Therefore, actual losses could differ materially from management’s estimate if actual conditions differ significantly from the assumptions utilized. These conditions include economic factors in the Company’s market and nationally, industry trends and concentrations, real estate values and trends, and the financial condition and performance of individual borrowers.
The Company’s general practice is to identify problem credits early and recognize full or partial charge-offs as promptly as practicable when it is determined that the collection of loan principal is unlikely. The Company recognizes full or partial charge-offs on collateral dependent impaired loans when the collateral is deemed to be insufficient to support the carrying value of the loan. The Company does not recognize a recovery when an updated appraisal indicates a subsequent increase in value.
At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company had a loan loss allowance of $41.1$45.1 million, or 0.87%0.89%, of total loans as compared to a loan loss allowance of $33.9$42.8 million, or 0.73%0.87%, of total loans at December 31, 2015.2016. Management believes that the allowance for loan
losses is adequate and consistent with asset quality indicators and that it represents the best estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
There are three components for the allowance for loan loss calculation:
General component
The general component of the ALLallowance for loan losses is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors stratified by the following loan segments.segments: owner-occupied and investor non-owner occupied commercial real estate, commercial and residential construction, commercial business, residential real estate, home equity, and other consumer. Management uses a rolling average of historical losses based on a three-year loss history to capture relevant loss data for each loan segment. This historical loss factor is adjusted for the following qualitative factors: levels and trends in delinquencies; level and trend of charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and types of loans; effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards, changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; experience and depth of lendinglending; changes in weighted average risk rating;ratings; and national and local economic trends and conditions. The general component of the allowance for loan losses also includes a reserve based upon historical loss experience for loans which were acquired and have subsequently evidenced measured credit deterioration following initial acquisition. Our acquired loan portfolio is comprised of purchased loans that show no evidence of deterioration subsequent to acquisition and therefore are not covered by the allowance for loan losses. Acquired impaired loans are loans with evidence of deterioration subsequent to acquisition and are considered in establishing the allowance for loan losses. There were no changes in the Company’s methodology pertaining to the general component of the ALLallowance for loan losses during 2016.2017.
The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:
Residential real estate and home equity loans – The Bank establishes maximum loan-to-value and debt-to-income ratios and minimum credit scores as an integral component of the underwriting criteria. Loans in these segments are collateralized by owner-occupied residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the income and credit quality of the individual borrower. Within the qualitative allowance factors, national and local economic trends including unemployment rates and potential declines in property value, are key elements reviewed as a component of establishing the appropriate allocation. Overall economic conditions, unemployment rates and housing price trends will influence the underlying credit quality of these segments.
Owner-occupied and investor non-owner occupied commercial real estate (“Owner-occupied CRE” and “Investor CRE”) – Loans in these segments are primarily income-producing properties throughout Connecticut, western Massachusetts, and other select markets in the Northeast. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties could be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by increased vacancy rates, which in turn, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Management obtains rent rolls annually, continually monitors the cash flows of these loans and performs stress testing.
Commercial and residential construction loans – Loans in this segment primarily include commercial real estate development and residential subdivision loans for which payment is derived from the sale of the property. Credit risk is affected by cost overruns, time to sell at an adequate price, and market conditions.
Commercial business loans – Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by assets of the business. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. A weakened economy and its effect on business profitability and cash flow could have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.
Other Consumer – Loans in this segment are secured or unsecured and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. A significant portion of these loans are secured by boats.
For acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, our ALLaccretable discount is estimated based upon our evaluation of the credit quality of the acquired loan portfolio or expected cash flows for the acquired PCIthese loans. To the extent that we experience a deterioration in borrower credit quality resulting in a decrease in our expected cash flows subsequent to the acquisition of the loans, an allowance for loan losses would be established through a provision based on our estimate of future credit losses over the remaining life of the loans, in excess of any existing purchase accounting discounts.loans.
Allocated component
The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial, commercial real estate and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’sloan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. An allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. Residential and other consumer loans are evaluated for impairment if payments are 90 days or more delinquent. Updated property evaluations are obtained at the time of impairment and serve as the basis for the loss allocation if foreclosure is probable or the loan is collateral dependent.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans which are placed on non-accrual status, or deemed troubled debt restructures, are considered impaired by the Company and subject to impairment testing for possible partial or full charge-off when loss can be reasonably determined. Generally, when all contractual payments on a loan are not expected to be collected, or the loan has failed to make contractual payments for a period of 90 days or more, a loan is placed on non-accrual status. In accordance with the Company's loan policy, losses on open and closed end consumer loans are recognized within a period of 120 days past due. For commercial loans, there is no threshold in terms of days past due for losses to be recognized as a result of the complexity in reasonably determining losses within a set time frame. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.
When a loan is determined to be impaired, the Company makes a determination if the repayment of the obligation is collateral dependent. As a majority of impaired loans are collateralized by real estate, appraisals on the underlying value of the property securing the obligation are utilized in determining the specific impairment amount that is allocated to the loan as a component of the allowance calculation. If the loan is collateral dependent, an updated appraisal is obtained within a short period of time from the date the loan is determined to be impaired; typically no longer than 30 days for a residential property and 90 days for a commercial real estate property. The appraisal and the appraised value are reviewed for adequacy and then further discounted for estimated disposition costs and the period of time until resolution, in order to determine the impairment amount. The Company updates the appraised value at least annually and on a more frequent basis if current market factors indicate a potential change in valuation.
The majority of the Company’s loans are collateralized by real estate located in central and eastern Connecticut and western Massachusetts in addition to a portion of the commercial real estate loan portfolio located in the Northeast region of the United States. Accordingly, the collateral value of a substantial portion of the Company’s loan portfolio and real estate acquired through foreclosure is susceptible to changes in market conditions in these areas.
Unallocated component
An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating allocated and general reserves in the portfolio.
Credit Quality Information
The Company utilizes a nine-grade internal loan rating system for residential and commercial real estate, construction, commercial and other consumer loans as follows:
Loans rated 1 – 5: Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.
Loans rated 6: Loans in this category are considered “special mention.” These loans reflect signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.
Loans rated 7: Loans in this category are considered “substandard.” Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor and there is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected.
Loans rated 8: Loans in this category are considered “doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans rated 9: Loans in this category are considered uncollectible (“loss”loss���) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.
At the time of loan origination, a risk rating based on this nine point grading system is assigned to each loan based on the loan officer’s assessment of risk. For residential real estate and other consumer loans, the Company considers factors such as updated FICO scores, employment status, home prices, loan to value and geography. Residential real estate and other consumer loans are pass rated unless their payment history reveals signs of deterioration, which may result in modifications to the original contractual terms. In situations which require modification to the loan terms, the internal loan grade will typically be reduced to substandard. More complex loans, such as commercial business loans and commercial real estate loans require that our internal credit area further evaluate the risk rating of the individual loan, with the credit area and Chief Credit Officer having final determination of the appropriate risk rating. These more complex loans and relationships receive an in-depth analysis and periodic review to assess the appropriate risk rating on a post-closing basis with changes made to the risk rating as the borrower’s and economic conditions warrant. The credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio is reviewed by a third-party risk assessment firm throughout the year
and by the Company’s internal credit management function. The internal and external analysis of the loan portfolio is utilized to identify and quantify loans with higher than normal risk. Loans having a higher risk profile are assigned a risk rating corresponding to the level of weakness identified in the loan. All loans risk rated Special Mention, Substandard or Doubtful are reviewed by management not less than on a quarterly basis to assess the level of risk and to ensure that appropriate actions are being taken to minimize potential loss exposure. Loans identified as being loss are normally fully charged off.

Management has established the allowance for loan loss in accordance with GAAP at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 based on the current risk assessment and level of loss that is believed to exist within the portfolio. This level of reserve is deemed an appropriate estimate of probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 based upon the analysis conducted and given the portfolio composition, delinquencies, charge offs and risk rating changes experienced during the first ninesix months of 20162017 and the three-year evaluation period utilized in the analysis. Based on the qualitative assessment of the portfolio and in thorough consideration of non-performing loans, management believes that the allowance for loan losses properly supports the level of associated loss and risk.
The following is a summary of past due and non-accrual loans at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, including purchased credit impaired loans:

Troubled Debt Restructurings
The restructuring of a loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if both (i) the restructuring constitutes a concession by the creditor and (ii) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. A TDR may include (i) a transfer from the debtor to the creditor of receivables from third parties, real estate, or other assets to satisfy fully or partially a debt, (ii) issuance or other granting of an equity interest to the creditor by the debtor to satisfy fully or partially a debt unless the equity interest is granted pursuant to existing terms for converting debt into an equity interest, and (iii) modifications of terms of a debt.
The following table provides detail of TDR balances for the periods presented:

The majority of restructured loans were on accrual status as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016. Typically, residential loans are restructured with a modification and extension of the loan amortization and maturity at substantially the same interest rate as contained in the original credit extension. As part of the TDR process, the current value of the property is compared to the general ledger loan balance and if not fully supported, a charge-off is processed through the allowance for loan losses. Commercial real estate loans, commercial construction loans and commercial business loans also contain payment modification agreements and a like assessment of the underlying collateral value if the borrower’s cash flow may be inadequate to service the entire obligation.
Loan Servicing
The Company services certain loans for third parties. The aggregate balance of loans serviced for others was $1.02$1.10 billion and $863.7 million$1.05 billion as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. The balances of these loans are not included on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Condition.
The risks inherent in mortgage servicing rights relate primarily to changes in prepayments that result from shifts in mortgage interest rates. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 was determined using pretax internal rates of return ranging from 9.5%9.4% to 11.5% and the Public Securities Association Standard Prepayment model to estimate prepayments on the portfolio with an average prepayment speed of 298175 and 183,166, respectively. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is obtained from a third party provider.
During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company received servicing income in the amount of $416,000$534,000 and $1.3$1.1 million, compared to $310,000$437,000 and $799,000,$877,000, for the same periods in 2015,2016, respectively. This income is included in income from mortgage banking activities in the Consolidated Statements of Net Income.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, advances outstanding under wholesale reverse repurchase agreements totaled $20.0$50.0 million and $45.0$20.0 million, respectively. The outstanding advances at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 consisted of twothree individual borrowings with remaining terms of threetwo years or less and a weighted average cost of 2.59%1.86%. The outstanding advances at December 31, 20152016 consisted of threetwo individual borrowings with remaining terms of three years or less and had a weighted average cost of 1.51%2.59%. The Company pledged investment securities with a market value of $24.2$54.4 million and $51.1$23.8 million as collateral for these borrowings at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.
Retail repurchase agreements primarily consist of transactions with commercial and municipal customers, are for a term of one day and are backed by the purchasers’ interest in certain U.S. Government Agency securities or government-sponsored securities. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, retail repurchase agreements totaled $21.4$14.6 million and $19.3$18.9 million, respectively. The Company pledged investment securities with a market value of $30.3$30.0 million and $34.6$28.5 million as collateral for these borrowings at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.
Given that the repurchase agreements are secured by investment securities valued at market value, the collateral position is susceptible to change based upon variation in the market value of the securities that can arise due to fluctuations in interest rates, among other things. In the event that the interest rate changes result in a decrease in the value of the pledged securities, additional securities will be required to be pledged in order to secure the borrowings. Due to the short term nature of the majority of the repurchase agreements, Management believes the risk of further encumbered securities pose a minimal impact to the Company’s liquidity position.
Other
At SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 other borrowings consist of capital lease obligations. At December 31, 2015 other borrowings consist of a secured borrowing and capital lease obligations. The secured borrowing relates to the transfer of a financial asset that did not meet the definition of a participating interest and did not meet sale accounting criteria; therefore, it is accounted for as a secured borrowing and classified as long-term debt on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. The Company has capital lease obligations for three of its leased banking branches.

Note 7. | Derivatives and Hedging Activities |
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposure to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings. The Company also has interest rate derivatives that result from a service provided to certain qualifying customers. The Company manages a matched book with respect to these derivative instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted
transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company did not record any hedge ineffectiveness.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. The Company expects to reclassify $1.9$1.4 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense during the next 12 months.
The Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions over a period of approximately 60 months (excluding forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments).
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company had teneight outstanding interest rate derivatives with a notional value of $430.0$315.0 million that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.
Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of its fixed rate obligations due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making variable rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. The Company includes the gain or loss on the hedged items in the same line item as the offsetting gain or loss on the related derivatives. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, the Company recognized a negligible net reduction to interest expense.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company had threetwo outstanding interest rate derivatives with a notional amount of $35.0$20.0 million that were designated as a fair value hedge of interest rate risk.
Non-Designated Hedges
Loan Level Interest Rate Swaps
Qualifying derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. The Company executes interest rate derivatives with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate derivatives are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company had 65eighty-one borrower-facing interest rate derivatives with an aggregate notional amount of $439.7$562.0 million and 65eighty-one broker derivatives with an aggregate notional value amount of $439.7$562.0 million related to this program.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company had fivefour risk participation agreements with three counterparties related to a loan level interest rate swap with fivefour of its commercial banking customers. Of these agreements, fourthree were entered into in conjunction with credit enhancements provided to the borrowers by the counterparties; therefore, if the borrowers default, the counterparties are responsible for a percentage of the exposure. During the third quarter of 2015, oneOne agreement was entered into in conjunction withhas credit enhancements provided to the borrower by the Bank,Company, whereby the BankCompany is responsible for a percentage of the exposure to the counterparty. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the notional amount of this risk participation agreement was $6.1$6.0 million, reflecting the counterparty participation of 33.1%. The risk participation agreements are a guarantee of performance on a derivative and accordingly, are recorded at fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the notional amount of the remaining fourthree risk participation agreements was $26.6$25.0 million, reflecting the counterparty participation level of 39.2%36.52%.
Mortgage Servicing Rights Interest Rate Swap
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company had one receive-fixed interest rate derivative with a notional amount of $7.5 million and a maturity date in July 2026. The derivative was executed to protect against a portion of the devaluation of the Company’s mortgage servicing right asset that occurs in a falling rate environment. Both instruments areThe instrument is marked to market through the income statement.Company’s Consolidated Statements of Net Income.
Derivative Loan Commitments
Additionally, the Company enters into mortgage loan commitments that are also referred to as derivative loan commitments if the loan that will result from exercise of the commitment will be held for sale upon funding. The Company enters into commitments to fund residential mortgage loans at specified rates and times in the future, with the intention that these loans will subsequently be sold in the secondary market.
Outstanding derivative loan commitments expose the Company to the risk that the price of the loans arising from exercise of the loan commitment might decline from inception of the rate lock to funding of the loan due to increases in mortgage interest rates. If interest rates increase, the value of these loan commitments decreases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the value of these loan commitments increases.
Forward Loan Sale Commitments
To protect against the price risk inherent in derivative loan commitments, the Company utilizes To Be Announced (“TBA”) as well as cash (“mandatory delivery” and “best efforts”) forward loan sale commitments to mitigate the risk of potential decreases in the values of loans that would result from the exercise of the derivative loan commitments.
With TBA and mandatory cash contracts, the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor/counterparty at a specified price on or before a specified date. If the market improves (rate decline) and the Company fails to deliver the amount of mortgages necessary to fulfill the commitment by the specified date, it is obligated to pay a “pair-off” fee, based on then-current market prices, to the investor/counterparty to compensate the investor for the shortfall. Conversely if the market declines (rates worsen) the investor/counterparty is obligated to pay a “pair-off” fee to the Company based on then-current market prices. The Company expects that these forward loan sale commitments, TBA and mandatory, will experience changes in fair value opposite to the change in fair value of derivative loan commitments.
With best effort cash contracts, the Company commits to deliver an individual mortgage loan of a specified principal amount and quality to an investor if the loan to the underlying borrower closes. Generally best efforts cash contracts have no pair off risk regardless of market movement. The price the investor will pay the seller for an individual loan is specified prior to the loan being funded (e.g., on the same day the lender commits to lend funds to a potential borrower). The Company expects that these forward loan sale commitments, best efforts, will experience a net neutral shift in fair value of derivative loan commitments.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the counterparty defaults on any of its indebtedness or fails to maintain a well-capitalized rating, then the counterparty could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations and could be required to terminate its derivative positions with the counterparty.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $44.2$16.2 million. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and has posted collateral of $48.6$198.1 million against its obligations under these agreements. A degree of netting occurs on occasions where the Company has exposure to a counterparty and the counterparty has exposure to the Company. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value and would have been required to pay any additional amounts due in excess of amounts previously posted as collateral with the respective counterparty.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the unrecognized cost related to outstanding stock options was $200,000$37,000 and will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.
There were no stock options granted during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015.2016.
Options exercised may include awards that were originally granted as tandem SARs. Therefore, if the SAR component is exercised, it will not equate to the number of shares issued due to the conversion of the SAR option value to the actual share value at exercise date.

Restricted Stock
Restricted stock provides grantees with rights to shares of common stock upon completion of a service period.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan
As part of the second-step conversion and stock offering completed in 2011, the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”)borrowed an additional $7.1 million from the Company to purchase 684,395 shares of common stock during the initial public offering and in the open market. The outstanding loan balance of $6.3$6.2 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 will be repaid principally from the Bank’s discretionary contributions to the ESOP over a remaining period of 2524 years. The loan bears an interest rate of prime plus one percent. The unallocated ESOP shares are pledged as collateral on the loans. As the loans are repaid to the Company, shares will be released from collateral and will be allocated to the accounts of the participants. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, ESOP compensation expense was $97,000 and $74,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, ESOP compensation expense was $197,000 and $140,000, respectively.
The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with FASB ASC 718-40, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under this guidance, unearned ESOP shares are not considered outstanding and are shown as a reduction of stockholders’ equity as unearned compensation. The Company will recognize compensation cost equal to the fair value of the ESOP shares during the periods in which they are committed to be allocated. To the extent that the fair value of the Company’s ESOP shares differs from the cost of such shares, this difference will be credited or debited to equity. As the loan is internally leveraged, the loan receivable
from the ESOP to the Company is not reported as an asset nor is the debt of the ESOP shown as a liability in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Dividends on unallocated shares are used to pay the ESOP debt.
At September 30, 2016, the remaining loan had an outstanding balance of $6.3 million and the interest rate is the prime rate plus one percent. The unallocated ESOP shares are pledged as collateral on the loans. As the loans are repaid to the Company, shares will be released from collateral and will be allocated to the accounts of the participants. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, ESOP compensation expense was $77,000 and $75,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, ESOP compensation expense was $216,000 and $222,000, respectively.

Note 9. | Regulatory Matters |
Minimum regulatory capital requirements
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by Federalthe federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s consolidated financial statements. The regulations requireUnder capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank tomust meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitativequalitative measures of the Company’s and the Bank’stheir assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. At September 30, 2016, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and is considered “well-capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
Basel III
In July 2013, federalFederal banking regulators approved final rules that implement changes toinclude minimum capital ratios as displayed in the regulatory capital framework for U.S. banks. The rules set minimum requirements for both the quantity and quality of capital held by community banking institutions. The final rule includes a new minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets of 4.5%, raises the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4% to 6%, and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4% for all banking organizations.following table. Additionally, community banking institutions must maintain a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1I capital in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets to avoid being subject to limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.bonuses.

Our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders is substantially dependent upon the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company. The Federal Reserve guidance sets forth the supervisory expectation that bank holding companies will inform and consult with Federal Reserve staff in advance of issuing a dividend that exceeds earnings for the quarter and should not pay dividends in a rolling four quarter period in an amount that exceeds net income for that period. Federal law also prohibits the Bank from paying dividends that would be greater than its undivided profits after deducting statutory bad debt in excess of its allowance for loan losses. The FDIC may limit a savings bank’s ability to pay dividends. No dividends may be paid to the Company’s shareholder if such dividends would reduce stockholders’ equity below the amount of the liquidation account required by the Connecticut conversion regulations. Connecticut law restricts the amount of dividends that the Bank can pay the Company based on net income included in retained earnings for the current year and the preceding two years. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $96.8 million and $79.8 million, respectively, was available for the payment of dividends. Connecticut banking laws grant banks broad lending authority. With certain limited exceptions, any one obligor under this statutory authority may not exceed 10% and 15%, respectively, of a bank’s capital and allowance for loan losses.

Note 12. | Fair Value Measurements |
Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time based on the characteristics of the assets and liabilities and relevant market information. In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the fair value estimates are measured within the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| |
Level 1: | Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the reporting date. The quoted price is not adjusted because of the size of the position relative to trading volume. |
| |
Level 2: | Pricing inputs are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly, but are not the same as those used in Level 1. Fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. |
| |
Level 3: | Pricing inputs are unobservable for assets and liabilities and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity and the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. |
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such instances, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given asset and liability is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value of the asset and liability.
When available, quoted market prices are used. In other cases, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. These techniques involve uncertainties and are significantly affected by the assumptions used and judgments made regarding risk characteristics of various financial instruments, discount rates, estimates of future cash flows, future expected loss experience and other factors. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates and could be material. Derived fair value estimates may not be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in certain cases, could not be realized in an immediate sale of the instrument.
Fair value estimates for financial instrument fair value disclosures are based on existing financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not purport to represent the underlying market value of the Company.
Loans Held for Sale
The Company has elected the fair value option for its portfolio of residential real estate mortgage loans held for sale to reduce certain timing differences and better match changes in fair value of the loans with changes in the fair value of the derivative loan sale contracts used to economically hedge them.
The aggregate principal amount of the residential real estate mortgage loans held for sale was $82.1$152.7 million and $9.8$61.9 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. The aggregate fair value of these loans as of the same dates was $83.3$157.5 million and $10.1$62.5 million, respectively.
There were no residential real estate mortgage loans held for sale 90 days or more past due at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016.
The following table presents the gains in fair value related to mortgage loans held for sale for the periods indicated. Changes in the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale are reported as a component of income from mortgage banking activityactivities in the Consolidated Statements of Net Income.

The following valuation methodologies are used for certain assets that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
Available-for-Sale Securities: Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using an independent pricing service. Level 1 securities are those traded on active markets for identical securities including U.S. treasury securities, equity securities and mutual funds. Level 2 securities include U.S. Government agency obligations, U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, corporate and other debt securities. Level 3 securities include private placement securities and thinly traded equity securities. All fair value measurements are obtained from a third party pricing service and are not adjusted by management.
Matrix pricing is used for pricing most obligations of states and political subdivisions, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific securities but rather by relying on securities relationships to other benchmark quoted securities. The grouping of securities is completed according to insurer, credit support, state of issuance and rating to incorporate additional spreads and municipal bond yield curves.
The valuation of the Company’s asset-backed securities is obtained from a third party pricing provider and is determined utilizing an approach that combines advanced analytics with structural and fundamental cash flow analysis based upon observed market based yields. The third party provider’s model analyzes each instrument’s underlying collateral given observable collateral characteristics and credit statistics to extrapolate future performance and project cash flows, by incorporating expectations of default probabilities, recovery rates, prepayment speeds, loss severities and a derived discount rate. The Company has determined that due to the liquidity and significance of unobservable inputs, that asset-backed securities are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
The Company holds one pooled trust preferred security. The security’s fair value is based on unobservable issuer-provided financial information and discounted cash flow models derived from the underlying structured pool and therefore is classified as Level 3.
Loans Held for Sale: The fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale is estimated using quoted market prices for loans with similar characteristics provided by government-sponsored entities. Any changes in the valuation of mortgage loans held for sale is based upon the change in market interest rates between closing the loan and the measurement date and an immaterial portion attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk. The Company has determined that loans held for sale are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Mortgage Servicing Rights: A mortgage servicing right (“MSR”) asset represents the amount by which the present value of the estimated future net cash flows to be received from servicing loans are expected to more than adequately compensate the Company for performing the servicing. The fair value of servicing rights is provided by a third party and is estimated using a present value cash flow model. The most important assumptions used in the valuation model are the anticipated rate of the loan prepayments and discount rates. Adjustments are recorded monthly as the cash flows derived from the valuation model change
prepayments and discount rates. Adjustments are recorded monthly. (See Note 4, “Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report) as the cash flows derived from the valuation model change the fair value of the asset. Although some assumptions in determining fair value are based on standards used by market participants, some are based on unobservable inputs and therefore are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. See Note 4, “Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Derivatives: Derivative instruments related to commitments for loans to be sold are carried at fair value. Fair value is determined through quotes obtained from actively traded mortgage markets. Any change in fair value for rate lock commitments to the borrower is based upon the change in market interest rates between making the rate lock commitment and the measurement date and, for forward loan sale commitments to the investor, is based upon the change in market interest rates from entering into the forward loan sales contract and the measurement date. Both the rate lock commitments to the borrowers and the forward loan sale commitments to investors are derivatives pursuant to the requirements of FASB ASC 815-10; however, the Company has not designated them as hedging instruments. Accordingly, they are marked to fair value through earnings.
The Company’s intention is to sell the majority of its fixed rate mortgage loans with original terms of 30 years on a servicing retained basis as well as certain 10, 15 and 20 year loans. The servicing value has been included in the pricing of the rate lock commitments. The Company estimates a fallout rate of approximately 14.5%18.5% based upon historical averages in determining the fair value of rate lock commitments. Although the use of historical averages is based upon unobservable data, the Company believes that this input is insignificant to the valuation and, therefore, has concluded that the fair value measurements meet the Level 2 criteria. The Company continually reassesses the significance of the fallout rate on the fair value measurement and updates the fallout rate accordingly.
Hedging derivatives include interest rate swaps as part of management’s strategy to manage interest rate risk. The valuation of the Company’s interest rate swaps is obtained from a third-party pricing service and is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The pricing analysis is based on observable inputs for the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and interest rate curves. The Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which the Company utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value at SeptemberJune 30, 2016:2017:

Asset-backed securities: Given the level of market activity for the asset backed securities in the portfolio, the discount rates utilized in the fair value measurement were derived by analyzing current market yields for comparable securities and research reports issued by brokers and dealers in the financial services industry. Adjustments were then made for credit and structural differences between these types of securities. There is an inverse correlation between the discount rate and the fair value measurement. When the discount rate increases, the fair value decreases.
Other significant unobservable inputs to the fair value measurement of the asset backed securities in the portfolio included prospective defaults and recoveries. The cumulative default percentage represents the lifetime defaults assumed. The loss given default percentage represents the percentage of current and projected defaults assumed to be lost. There is an inverse correlation between the default percentages and the fair value measurement. When default percentages increase, the fair value decreases.
Corporate debt: Given the level of market activity for the trust preferred securities in the form of collateralized debt obligations, the discount rate utilized in the fair value measurement were derived by analyzing current market yields for trust preferred securities
of individual name issuers in the financial services industry. Adjustments were then made for credit and structural differences between these types of securities. There is an inverse correlation between the discount rate and the fair value measurement. When the discount rate increases, the fair value decreases.
Other significant unobservable inputs to the fair value measurement of the collateralized debt obligations included prospective defaults and recoveries. The cumulative default percentage represents the lifetime defaults assumed, excluding currently defaulted collateral and including all performing and currently deferring collateral. As a result, the cumulative default percentage also reflects assumptions of the possibility of currently deferring collateral curing and becoming current. The loss given default percentage represents the percentage of current and projected defaults assumed to be lost. There is an inverse correlation between the cumulative default and loss given default percentages and the fair value measurement. When default percentages increase, the fair value decreases.
Mortgage servicing rights: Given the low level of market activity in the MSR market and the general difficulty in price discovery, even when activity is at historic norms, the discount rate utilized in the fair value measurement was derived by analyzing recent and historical pricing for MSRs. Adjustments were then made for various loan and investor types underlying these MSRs. There is an inverse correlation between the discount rate and the fair value measurement. When the discount rate increases, the fair value decreases.
Other significant unobservable inputs to the fair value measurement of MSR’s include cost to service, an input that is not as simple as taking total costs and dividing by a number of loans. It is a figure informed by marginal cost and pricing for MSRs by competing firms, taking other assumptions into consideration. It is different for different loan types. There is an inverse correlation between the cost to service and the fair value measurement. When the cost assumption increase, the fair value decreases.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The following tables detail the assets carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation technique utilized by the Company to determine fair value. There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for certain assets that are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
Other Real Estate Owned: The Company classifies property acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, as other real estate owned (“OREO”) in its financial statements. Upon foreclosure, the property securing the loan is recorded at fair value as determined by real estate appraisals less the estimated selling expense. Appraisals are based upon observable market data such as comparable sales within the real estate market. Assumptions are also made based on management’s judgment of the appraisals and current real estate market conditions and therefore these assets are classified as non-recurring Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy.
Impaired Loans: Accounting standards require that a creditor recognize the impairment of a loan if the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate (or, alternatively, the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral) is less than the recorded investment in the impaired loan. Non-recurring fair value adjustments to collateral dependent loans are recorded, when necessary, to reflect partial write-downs and the specific reserve allocations based
upon observable market price or current appraised value of the collateral less selling costs and discounts based on management’s judgment of current conditions. Based on the significance of management’s judgment, the Company records collateral dependent impaired loans as non-recurring Level 3 fair value measurements.
Losses on assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis are as follows:

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The following methods and assumptions were used by management to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments not recorded at fair value for which it is practicable to estimate that value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Carrying value is assumed to represent fair value for cash and due from banks and short-term investments, which have original maturities of 90 days or less.
Loans Receivable – net: The fair value of the net loan portfolio is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the prevailing interest rates and appropriate credit and prepayment risk adjustments as of period-end at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The fair value of non-performing loans is estimated using the Bank’s prior credit experience.
FHLBB stock: FHLBB stock is a non-marketable equity security which is assumed to have a fair value equal to its carrying value due to the fact that it can only be redeemed by the FHLBB at par value.
Accrued Interest Receivable: Carrying value is assumed to represent fair value.
Deposits and Mortgagors’ and Investors’ Escrow Accounts: The fair value of demand, non-interest- bearing checking, savings and certain money market deposits is determined as the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities as of period-end.
FHLBB Advances and Other Borrowings: The fair value of borrowed funds is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using market rates for similar borrowings.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the carrying value and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as described below:
| | | Carrying Value | | Fair Value | Carrying Value | | Fair Value |

Note 13. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk
In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit through issuing standby letters of credit and undisbursed portions of construction loans and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. The contractual amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The contractual amounts of commitments to extend credit represent the amounts of potential accounting loss should the contract be fully drawn upon, the customer defaults and the value of any existing collateral obligations is deemed worthless. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015:2016:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Since these commitments could expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include residential and commercial property, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, deposits, and securities.
Other Commitments
The Company invests in partnerships, including low income housing tax credit, new markets housing tax credit, and alternative energy tax credit partnerships. The net carrying balance of these investments totaled $31.9$34.3 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and is included in other assets in the consolidated statement of condition. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company was contractually committed under these limited partnership agreements to make additional capital contributions of $5.3$18.4 million, which constitutes our maximum potential obligation to these partnerships.
Legal Matters
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that have arisen in the normal course of business. The Company is not involved in any legal proceedings deemed to be material as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.

Business
General
By assets, United Financial Bancorp, Inc. is the third largest publicly traded banking institution headquartered in Connecticut with consolidated assets of $6.54$6.88 billion and stockholders’ equity of $656.2$679.5 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.
The Company is a commercially-focused financial institution delivering financial services primarily to small- to mid-sized businesses and individuals throughout Connecticut and Massachusetts through 53 banking offices, commercial loan production offices, mortgage loan production offices, 6365 ATMs, telephone banking, mobile banking, and online banking (www.bankatunited.com).
The Company’s vision is to pursue excellence in all things with respect to its customers, employees, shareholders and communities. This pursuit of excellence has helped the Company fulfill the financial needs of its customers while delivering an exceptional banking experience in the market areas that it has served since 1858. The structure of United Bank supports the vision with community banking teams in each market that provide traditional banking products and services to business organizations and individuals, including commercial business loans, commercial and residential real estate loans, consumer loans, financial advisory services and a variety of deposit products.
Our business philosophy is to remain a community-oriented franchise and continue to focus on organic growth supplemented through acquisitions and provide superior customer service to meet the financial needs of the communities in which we operate. The Company’s three year strategic plan includes:
Continuing to expand commercial business, owner-occupied commercial real estate and consumer lending activities while meeting the Company’s designated risk adjusted return on capital levels;
Decreasing the exposure to residential and investor non-owner occupied commercial real estate lending;
Growing the Company’s low cost core deposit base;
Increasing the non-interest income component of total revenues through development of banking-related fee income and the sale of insurance and investment products; and
Remaining focused on improving operating efficiencies.
The Company’s results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan and securities portfolios and its cost of funds, consisting of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by the Company’s provision for loan losses, gains and losses from sales of loans and securities, and non-interest income and expenses. Non-interest income primarily consists of fee income from depositors, mortgage servicing income, mortgage origination and loan sale income,banking activities, loan swap fees and increases in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”). Non-interest expenses consist principally of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, service bureau fees, core deposit intangible amortization, marketing, professional fees, FDIC insurance assessments, and other operating expenses.
Results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions and changes in interest rates as well as government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable laws, regulations or government policies may materially affect the Company. Uncertainty and challenges surrounding future economic growth, consumer confidence, credit availability, competition and corporate earnings remains.
The Company’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select MarketSM under the ticker symbol “UBNK”.

Regulatory Considerations
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to numerous examinations by federal and state banking regulators, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission. Please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016 for additional disclosures with respect to laws and regulations affecting the Company’s businesses.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The accounting policies followed by the Company and its subsidiaries conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with general practices within the banking industry. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company bases its assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time the Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP.
Management believes that the most critical accounting policies, which involve the most complex subjective decisions or assessments, relate to the allowance for loan losses, other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, derivative instruments and hedging activities, goodwill, and income taxes. Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Additional accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” presented in our 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. A brief description of the Company’s current policies involving significant judgment follows:
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established as embedded losses are estimated to have occurred through the provisions for losses charged against operations and is maintained at a level that management considers adequate to absorb losses in the loan
portfolio. Management’s judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is inherently subjective and is based on past loan loss experience, known and inherent losses and size of the loan portfolios, an assessment of current economic and real estate market conditions, estimates of the current value of underlying collateral, review of regulatory authority examination reports and other relevant factors.
Management has determinedThe general component of the allowance for loan losses is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors stratified by portfolio segment, which consists of residentialthe following loan segments: owner-occupied and investor non-owner occupied commercial real estate, for loans collateralized by owner-occupiedcommercial and residential construction, commercial business, residential real estate, home equity, lines of credit, owner-occupied and investor commercial real estate, construction, commercial business, and other consumer loans. Management further segregates these portfolios between loans which are accounted for under the amortized cost method (referred to as “covered” loans) and loans acquired (referred to as “acquired” loans), as acquired loans were originally recorded at fair value, which included an estimate of credit losses, resulting in no carryoverconsumer. The general component of the related allowance for loan losses. An allowance for loan losses onalso includes a reserve based upon historical loss experience for loans which were acquired and have subsequently evidenced measured credit deterioration following initial acquisition. Our acquired loan portfolio is comprised of purchased loans is only establishedthat show no evidence of deterioration subsequent to acquisition and are therefore not part of the extent that there iscovered portfolio. Acquired impaired loans are loans with evidence of deterioration subsequent to acquisition and are considered in the covered portfolio in establishing the allowance for loan quality exceeding the original estimates of credit loss established upon acquisition.losses.
Although management believes it uses appropriate available information to establish the allowance for loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary if certain future events occur that cause actual results to differ from the assumptions used in making the evaluation.
Other-than-Temporary Impairment of Securities
The Company maintains a securities portfolio that is classified into two major categories: available for saleavailable-for-sale and held to maturity.held-to-maturity. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost. Management determines the classifications of a security at the time of purchase.
Quarterly, securities with unrealized losses are reviewed as deemed appropriate to assess whether the decline in fair value is temporary or other-than-temporary. The assessment is to determine whether the decline in value is from company-specific events, industry developments, general economic conditions, credit losses on debt or other reasons. Declines in the fair value of available-for-sale securities or held to maturityheld-to-maturity securities below their cost or amortized cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are reflected in earnings for equity securities and for debt securities that have an identified credit loss. Unrealized losses on debt securities with no identified credit loss component are reflected in other comprehensive income.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company uses derivatives to manage a variety of risks, including risks related to interest rates. Accounting for derivatives as hedges requires that, at inception and over the term of the arrangement, the hedged item and related derivative meet the requirements for hedge accounting. The rules and interpretations related to derivatives accounting are complex. Failure to apply this complex guidance correctly will result in the changes in the fair value of the derivative being reported in earnings.
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payment) and the expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payment (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rates curves.
At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, derivative assets and liabilities were $29.7$14.4 million and $43.7$18.5 million, respectively. Further information about our use of derivatives is provided in Note 7, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities” in Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
Goodwill
The Company is required to record certain assets and liabilities it has acquired in a business combination, including identifiable intangible assets such as core deposit intangibles, at fair value, which may involve making estimates based on third-party valuations, such as appraisals or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analyses or other valuation techniques. The resulting goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the goodwill may be impaired.
When goodwill is evaluated for impairment, qualitative factors considered include, but are not limited to, industry and market conditions, overall financial performance, and events affecting the reporting unit. If there are no qualitative factors that indicate goodwill may be impaired, the quantitative analysis is not required. For a quantitative analysis, if the carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment charge is recorded to income. The fair value is based on observable market prices, when practicable. Other valuation techniques may be used when market prices are unavailable, including estimated discounted cash flows and market multiples analyses. These types of analyses contain uncertainties because they require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate industry economic factors and the profitability of future business strategies. In the event of future changes in fair value, the Company may be exposed to an impairment charge that could be material.
The carrying value of goodwill at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 was $115.3 million. For further discussion on goodwill see Note 5, “Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangibles” in Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Significant management judgment is required in determining income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Some judgments are subjective and involve estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. In determining the valuation allowance, we use forecasted future operating results, based upon approved business plans, including a review of the eligible carry forward periods, tax planning opportunities and other relevant considerations. Management believes that the accounting estimate related to the valuation allowance is a critical accounting estimate because the underlying assumptions can change from period to period. For example, tax law changes or variances in future projected operating performance could result in a change in the valuation allowance.
The reserve for tax contingencies contains uncertainties because management is required to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate the exposures associated with our various tax positions. The effective income tax rate is also affected by changes in tax law, entry into new tax jurisdictions, the level of earnings and the results of tax audits.
Operating Results
Executive Overview
Net income of $16.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, was recorded for three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to net income of $9.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the same period in 2016. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $29.9 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared to $21.0 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the same period in 2016.
Net interest income increased $4.8 million and $5.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 due to balance sheet growth which was mostly comprised of strong loan originations and, to a lesser extent, loan portfolio purchases. The Company intends to increase the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans while selectively originating investor non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans to generate more favorable risk-adjusted returns and protect the net interest margin in a flat yield curve interest rate environment. Loans held for sale grew due to increased originations in the spring market coupled with the Company’s strategy to hold loans longer before sale in the secondary market. Balance sheet growth was also attributed to the increase in investment securities as the Company began to reinvest security cash flows focused on extending portfolio duration, primarily in mortgage-backed securities and collateralized loan obligation securities. Total interest and dividend income increased $6.9 million and $8.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016. These increases were partially offset by increases in interest expense of $2.1 million and $2.8 million compared to the same periods in 2016. The Company’s tax-equivalent net interest margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was 3.04% and 3.03%, respectively, an increase of 13 basis points and five basis points, respectively, over the same periods in 2016.
Non-interest income increased $2.9 million and $4.7 million to $9.5 million and $18.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The increases in both periods were due primarily to an increase in service charges and fees as a result of increased loan swap fee income, as well as increased revenue generated from the Company’s investment advisory subsidiary. The increases, to a lesser extent, were also due to the Company recording lower impairment charges on its partnership investments.
Non-interest expense increased $298,000 to $35.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $34.7 million for the same period in 2016. The largest increase in non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was in other expenses, due to increased expenses related to computer software and maintenance as a result of technology investments, increased loan swap fees as the Company entered into more swaps in the three months ended June 30, 2017 versus the same period in 2016, and an increase in the provision for off balance sheet items due to an increase in total loan commitments. These increases were offset by decreases in salaries and employee benefits due to severance payments made in the prior year period and decreased commissions and incentives on product sales, decreases in service bureau fees due to the implementation of chip-enabled cards in the prior year period, and decreases in FDIC insurance assessments as a result of decreases in the assessment rate. Non-interest expense increased $1.2 million to $69.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $68.4 million for the same period in 2016. The biggest driver of the increase in the six month period of 2017 was salaries and benefits as a result of increased bonus expense driven by the Company’s financial results and reaching certain corporate goals, as well as higher restricted stock expense related to awards granted in November 2016. The increases in non-interest expense were offset primarily by a decrease in FHLBB prepayment penalties, as the Company did not record any penalties in the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the previous year period as a result of the Company’s implementation of the investment portfolio optimization strategy.
The asset quality of our loan portfolio has remained strong. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio was 0.89% and 0.87%, and the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans ratio was 138.55% and 125.64%, respectively. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.64% and 0.69% at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. A provision for loan losses of $2.3 million and $4.6 million was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $3.6 million and $6.3 million for the same prior year periods, reflecting the ongoing assessment of asset quality measures including the estimated exposure on impaired loans and organic loan growth.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to evaluating the Company’s results of operations in accordance with GAAP, management periodically supplements this evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide the reader with additional perspectives on operating results, financial condition, and performance trends, while facilitating comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures, rather, they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial information.
The followingefficiency ratio is used as a reconciliationcommon measure by banks as a comparable metric to understand the Company’s expense structure relative to its total revenue; in other words, for every dollar of Non-GAAP financial measures by major category fortotal revenue we recognize, how much of that dollar is expended.

Executive Overview
Net income of $14.2 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to net income of $13.4 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the same period in 2015. Adjusted operating net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $14.1 million (Non-GAAP), adjusted primarily for $383,000 net impactcomparability of the amortizationratio to our peers, we remove non-core items. To improve transparency, and accretionacknowledging that banks are not consistent in their definition of the fair value adjustments on acquired loans, deposits, and borrowings as a resultefficiency ratio, we include our calculation of the merger and $447,000 of reorganization and merger related non-interest expenses. Adjusted operating net income for the third quarter of 2015 was $10.9 million (Non-GAAP), and was adjusted primarily for $4.1 million net impact of the amortization and accretion of the fair value adjustments on loans, deposits, and borrowings as a result of the merger and $244,000 of merger-related non-interest expenses.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $35.1 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, compared to $39.7 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, for the same period in 2015. Adjusted operating net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $35.1 million (Non-GAAP), adjusted primarily for $4.2 million of FHLBB prepayment penalties, reorganization expenses and merger-related non-interest expenses, $2.2 million net impact of the amortization and accretion of the fair value adjustments on acquired loans, deposits and borrowings as a result of the Merger and $1.9 million net gains on sales of securities and BOLI death benefit gains. Adjusted operating net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $32.9 millionthis non-GAAP measure.
(Non-GAAP), adjusted for $1.2 millionThe following is a calculation of merger-related non-interest expenses, $11.0 million net impact of the amortization and accretion of the fair value adjustments on acquired loans, deposits, and borrowings as a result of the merger and $639,000 net gains on sales of securities. The Company is presenting adjusted operating net income as management believes it gives a more in-depth picture of the results for the period and will benefit investors in their understanding of the Company. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 adjustments to adjusted operating net income are on made a pre-tax basis.
Net interest income increased $1.4 million and $4.0 millionour efficiency ratio for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015 due to balance sheet growth which was mostly comprised of strong loan originations2017 and to a lesser extent, loan portfolio purchases. The Company intends to increase the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate while decreasing the level of investor commercial real estate to generate more favorable risk-adjusted returns and protect the net interest margin in a flat interest rate environment. Total interest and dividend income increased $3.7 million and $11.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015. These increases were partially offset by increases in interest expense of $2.3 million and $7.9 million compared to the same periods in 2015. The Company’s tax-equivalent net interest margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 2.98% and 3.00%, a decrease of 22 and 28 basis points, respectively, over the same period in 2015. Excluding the $383,000 and $2.2 million negative impact of the amortization and accretion of the fair value adjustments on loans, deposits and borrowings as a result of the Merger, the operating net interest margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 2.96% and 2.95%, respectively. The general year-over-year trends impacting the margin include decreased yields on loans due to the low interest rate environment and the reduced benefit of purchase accounting accretion.
Non-interest income increased $71,000 to $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $7.8 million for the same period in 2015. The increase primarily due to the Company recording lower impairment charges on its partnership investments, other income and gains on sales of securities compared to last year. Non-interest income decreased $2.9 million to $21.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $24.0 million for the same period in 2015. Income from mortgage banking activities decreased $2.2 million inclusive of gains on sale of loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015.
Non-interest expense increased $360,000 and $7.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015. The largest increases in non-interest expense for the nine month period were in FHLBB prepayment penalties and salaries and employee benefits. FHLBB prepayment penalties increased as a result of the first quarter 2016 investment portfolio optimization strategy which allowed the Company to pay off higher costing FHLBB advances. The increase in salaries and benefits is due to severance payments of $1.4 million resulting from an organizational realignment to improve operational efficiency and additional managerial staff in areas targeted for growth. These changes will result in approximately $3.0 million of pre-tax cost savings annually from the budgeted full year 2016 run rate. The increases in FHLBB prepayment penalties and salaries and employee benefits were partially offset by a decrease in professional fees due to the engagement of consulting services to assist in realignment of the Company’s information technology infrastructure.
The asset quality of our loan portfolio has remained strong. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio was 0.87% and 0.73%, and the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans ratio was 123.26% and 89.64%, respectively. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.71% and 0.82% at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Acquired loans are recorded at fair value with no carryover of the allowance for loan losses. A provision for loan losses of $3.8 million and $10.1 million was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $3.3 million and $9.2 million for the same prior year periods, reflecting growth in our covered loan portfolio, the ongoing assessment of asset quality measures including the estimated exposure on impaired loans and organic loan growth.

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

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and NineSix Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 20152016
The following discussion provides a summary and comparison of the Company’s operating results for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015.2016.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the amount that interest and fees on earning assets (loans and investments) exceeds the cost of funds, interest paid to the Company’s depositors and interest on external borrowings. Net interest margin is the difference between the income on earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing funds as a percentage of average earning assets. Growth in net interest income has resulted from growth in interest-earning assets and liabilities, primarily reflecting organic loan growth and portfolio purchases.
For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016, tax-equivalent2017, tax equivalent net interest income increased $2.0$5.2 million from the comparative 20152016 period. This was mainly due to the significant increase in average earning assets of $652.2$417.1 million, andoffset by an increase of $577.9$401.8 million in interest-bearing liabilities due to loan growth which was primarily funded by borrowings and deposits. The increase in interest and dividends of $4.3$7.3 million was partially offset by the increase in interest expense of $2.3$2.1 million. The net interest margin decreased 22increased 13 basis points, the yield on average earningsinterest-earning assets decreased 12increased 22 basis points, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 10ten basis points from the same period in 2015.2016.
For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, tax-equivalent net interest income increased $5.5$6.2 million from the comparative 20152016 period. This was mainly due to the significant increase in average earning assets of $729.7$341.0 million and anoutpacing the increase of $657.0$323.4 million in interest-bearing liabilities, due to loan growth which was primarilywith the remainder funded by borrowings and deposits. In addition, there
was a benefit of $2.2 million recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 in net interest income related to fair value adjustments as a result of purchase accounting adjustments compared to $11.0 million for the same period in 2015.$31.2 million. The increase in interest and dividendsdividend income of $13.4$9.0 million was partially offset by the increase in interest expense of $7.9$2.8 million. The net interest margin decreased 28increased five basis points, the yield on average earnings assets decreased 18increased ten basis points, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 12six basis points from the same period in 2015.2016.
ExcludingThe increase in the benefitaverage balances of the purchase accounting adjustments, the net interest margin and the yield on average earning assets would have increased seven basis points and 12 basis points, respectively, and the cost of interest of interest-bearing liabilities would have increased five basis points compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. Excluding the benefit of the purchase accounting adjustments, the net interest margin and the yield on average earning assets would have declined four basis points and increased one basis point, respectively, and the cost of interest of interest-bearing liabilities would have increased five basis points compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Primarily reflectingloans primarily reflects loan growth and portfolio purchases, thepurchases. The average balance of total loans for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 was $4.81$5.13 billion and $4.72$5.04 billion, and had an average yield of 3.80%3.90% and 3.84%3.86%, respectively. On an adjusted operating basis, the average yield on total loans was 3.84% and 3.85% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The largest increases in the average balances for loans were recorded in commercial real estatebusiness loans, home equity loans and other consumercommercial real estate loans. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the average balance of commercial business loans, home equity loans and commercial real estate loans totaled $2.08 billion and $2.04 billion, an increase of $261.5increased $143.6 million and $325.4$133.5 million, $95.6 million and $93.6 million, and $125.3 million and $106.7 million, from the respective prior year periods respectively. Forin 2016. The loan portfolio has responded favorably to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the average balance of other consumer loans totaled $209.3 million and $218.8 million, an increase of $205.0 million and $213.6 million, respectively, from the prior year period primarily reflecting portfolio purchases that occurred late in the fourth quarterFed Funds rates, LIBOR and Prime rate indices, as 27% of 2015the portfolio is priced off of the LIBOR index, and 15% of the first nine monthsportfolio is priced off of 2016.the Prime rate index.
The average balance of investment securities increased $6.1$3.1 million, and $12.2 million, respectively, and the average yield earned on these securities increased eight and nine34 basis points respectively, for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, while the average balance of investment securities decreased $4.6 million, and the average yield increased 27 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The improvement in the portfolio yield was due to a slight duration extension within the portfolio, coupled by increases in the 3-month LIBOR index.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2015. The increase is largely reflective of continued maintenance of the Company’s barbell management strategy coupled with higher market values given lower rates. Bond purchases have focused on reinvesting some runoff cash flows, managing overall investment portfolio duration and maintaining diversification to the portfolio holdings of corporate, collateralized loan obligations and municipal sleeves.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same periods in 2015, the average balance of total interest-bearing deposits increased $214.2$325.2 million and $298.5 million, respectively, while the average cost increased seven basis for both periods, respectively. FHLBB advances increased $390.7 million and $389.8$285.2 million, while the average cost increased 24was limited to a seven and four basis points and 36 basis points,point increase, respectively. Average other borrowings decreased $27.0 million and $31.3 million while the average cost increased 80 basis points and 84 basis points. These changesincreases were primarily due to short-term interest rates being elevateddeposit growth in the quarter, growth inall categories except for time deposits and the Company’s continued focus to grow low cost deposits. Additionally, the increase in FHLBB advances wasincreased $43.4 million and $33.7 million while the average cost increased 26 and 16 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016, to help fund new loan growth and loan portfolio purchases. The Company focused on shorter duration advances to align maturities with new accounts, however, overnight advance and short term rates were elevated due to recent Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) rate increases.
Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, loan and deposit pricing strategies, competitive conditions, the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as well as the level of non-performing assets. The Company manages the risk of changes in interest rates on its net interest income through an Asset/Liability Management Committee and through related interest rate risk monitoring and management policies.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings in an amount sufficient to maintain the allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) at a level deemed adequate by the Company. The level of the allowance is a critical accounting estimate, which is subject to uncertainty. Acquired loans are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition, with no carryover of the allowance for loan losses, and includedwhich includes adjustments for market interest rates and expected credit losses. Included within the ALL at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 are reserves for acquired loans in accordance with Bank policies and confirmation of expected losses.policies.
Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The adequacy of the loan loss allowance is based on such interrelated factors as the composition of the loan portfolio and its inherent risk characteristics, the level of non-performing loans and charge-offs, both current and historic, local economic and credit conditions, the direction of real estate values, and regulatory guidelines. The provision is charged against earnings in order to maintain an allowance for loan losses that reflects management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date.
Management recorded a provision for loan losses of $3.8$2.3 million and $10.1$4.6 million for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017, compared to $3.3$3.6 million and $9.2$6.3 million for the same periods of 2015, respectively.2016. The primary factors that influenced management’s decision to record these provisions werethe provision was organic growth during the period, migration to covered loans, the on-going assessment of estimated exposure on impaired loans, level of delinquencies, and general economic conditions. Impaired loans totaled $52.1$50.2 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017, compared to $56.3$50.1 million at December 31, 2015, a decrease2016, an increase of $4.2
million,$73,000, or 7.5%0.1%, reflecting a decreaseincreases in home equity, investor CRE nonaccrualnon-owner occupied commercial real estate, residential real estate, and commercial business impaired loans of $4.8$1.4 million, $1.1 million, $775,000, and $437,000, respectively; offset by decreases in construction, other consumer, and owner-occupied commercial real estate impaired loans of $2.1 million. $1.1 million, and a decrease in commercial business nonaccrual loans of $1.9 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in total troubled$484,000, respectively. Troubled debt restructured (“TDR”) loans totaled $25.1 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $23.3 million at December 31, 2016, an increase of $1.7$1.8 million. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the allowance for loan losses totaled $41.1$45.1 million, representing 0.87%0.89% of total loans and 123.26%138.55% of non-performing loans compared to an allowance for loan losses of $33.9$42.8 million, which represented 0.73%0.87% of total loans and 89.64%125.64% of non-performing loans as of December 31, 2015.2016. As loans move from thosethe acquired loan portfolio to the covered by purchase accounting into the coveredloan portfolio, the ALL is anticipated to increase as a percentage of total loans. There is no carryover of the allowance for loan losses on acquired loans.

The results for both the three and nine months ending September 30, 2016 are mainly due to changes in the average yield earned on the BOLI policies as a result of current market interest rates.

The changes for both the three and and six months ended June 30, 2017 were primarily due to (a) a decrease in salaries due to severance payments made in the second quarter of 2016 of $1.4 million resulting from an organizational realignment to improve operational efficiency; (b) a decrease on commissions and incentives on product sales; and (c) an increase in deferred expenses from originating loans. These decreases were partially offset by increases in (a) bonus expense driven by the Company’s financial results and reaching corporate goals; (b) restricted stock expense related to stock awards granted in November 2016, increasing the number of unvested shares being expensed; and (c) a greater number of employees mainly reflecting the robust investment in information technology staffing and project management.
Service Bureau Fees: Service bureau fees decreased $287,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and $213,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. The decreases for both the three and six months were largely driven by additional expense incurred in the second quarter of 2016 related to implementation of Europay and Mastercard (“EMV”) chip-enabled cards to mitigate potential fraud exposure to the Company’s credit and debit card users. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company experienced a decrease in custom work expenses from the Company’s core operating service provider than in the prior year period.
Occupancy and Equipment: For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded $3.7 million in occupancy and equipment expense, a decrease of $193,000 from the prior year period primarily driven by a change in the estimate for deferred rent and from the Company’s efforts to control expenses over the branch network, as well as lower expenses related to maintenance contracts related to the upkeep of branch facilities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the $376,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense was impacted by the outsourcing of property management services which began in July 2016, high snow removal costs incurred in the first quarter of 2017, and depreciation on leasehold improvements, partially offset by the deferred rent change discussed above.
Professional Fees: Professional fees increased $65,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. No significant variances in any category were noted between the periods.
Professional fees increased $493,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. The increases were largely driven by the expenses related to the engagement of consulting services assisting in a project targeted to maximize non-interest income revenue streams and legal services related to tax matters regarding a new partnership investment.
Marketing and Promotions: For the three months ended June 30, 2017, marketing and promotions increased $214,000 to $1.2 million from the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, marketing and promotions increased $334,000 to $1.9 million from the same period in the prior year. These increases were primarily attributable to expenses related to digital advertising and marketing as the Company increased its utilization of online marketing channels. Those increases were partially offset by a decrease in television and radio advertising expenses.
Salaries and Employee Benefits: Salaries and employee benefits was $18.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $1.3 million from the comparable 2015 period. Salaries and employee benefits was $56.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $5.9 million from the comparable 2015 period.
For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the increase in salaries and benefits was driven by (a) an increase in salaries driven by additional managerial staff in areas targeted for growth (b) an increase in temporary help to maintain compensation flexibility while responding to growth requirements and (c) an increase in restricted stock expense related to the implementation of a new shareholder approved restricted stock plan. These increases were partially offset by increases in deferred expenses from originating loans.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the increase in salaries and benefits of $5.9 million was attributable to the same items discussed above in the three month period as well as to (a) an increase in salaries due to severance payments of $1.4 million resulting from an organizational realignment to improve operational efficiency and (b) an increase in FICA related to higher salary expenses. These increases were also partially offset by increases in deferred expenses from loan originations and a decrease in bonuses.
Service Bureau Fees: Service bureau fees increased $132,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same periods in 2015. The increases for both the three and nine months were largely driven by the expiration of a service credit from the Company’s core operating system provider, increased expenses from that service provider, and implementation of Europay, MasterCard and Visa (“EMV”) chip-enabled credit cards to mitigate potential fraud exposure to the Company’s credit and debit card users.
Occupancy and Equipment: For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded $3.6 million in occupancy and equipment expense, an increase of $237,000 from the prior year period primarily due to fees incurred for the outsourcing of property management services, an increase in property taxes and amortization of computer software associated with various projects. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in rent expense related to a change in the estimate for deferred rent resulting from the Company’s efforts to control expenses over the branch network.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the $270,000 decrease in occupancy and equipment expense was impacted by a decrease in real estate taxes and utility expenses as the Company closed five branches in the second quarter of 2015 and the same items discussed in the three month period. Finally, expenses for maintenance contracts decreased due to less snow removal costs in the first quarter of 2016 as well as the successful negotiation to reduce a contract termination fee that was recorded in the prior period.
Professional fees: Professional fees decreased $456,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, and $387,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same periods in 2015. The decreases for both the three and nine months were largely driven by prior year’s expenses related to engagement of consulting services assisting in realignment of the Company’s information technology infrastructure to keep our products and services competitive. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in outsourced internal audit expenses.
Marketing and Promotions: Marketing and promotion expense was $656,000 and $587,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $69,000.

The decreaseeffective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate due to favorable permanent differences such as tax exempt income from municipal securities and BOLI, as well as tax credit benefits. The increase in the tax expense and the effective tax rate over the prior year periods is primarily due to an additional alternative energy tax credit investment in the first quarter of 2016 and lowera higher pre-tax income as compared to the prior year period.periods. The Company anticipates the potential for increased periodic volatility in future effective tax rates for September 30, 2016 and 2015 differ from combined statutory rates as a result of favorable permanent differences for tax-exempt income, BOLI, and investment tax credits, as well as reduced state tax expense due to the impact of Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 which applies the tax planning strategies that have been implemented.effect of restricted stock vestings and stock option exercises through the tax rate as discrete items in the period in which the tax event occurs.
The Company continually monitors and evaluates the potential impact of current events and circumstances on the estimates used in the analysis of its income tax positions, and accordingly, the Company’s effective tax rate may fluctuate in the future. The Company evaluates its income tax positions based on tax laws and appropriate regulations and financial reporting considerations, and records adjustments as appropriate. This evaluation takes into consideration the status of current taxing authorities’ examinations of the Company’s tax returns and recent positions taken by the taxing authorities on similar transactions, if any. Accordingly, the results of these examinations may alter the timing or amount of taxable income or deductions taken by the Company.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the available-for-sale securities portfolio decreased $6.7increased $30.0 million to $1.05$1.07 billion, representing 16.1%15.6% of total assets at SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, from $1.06$1.04 billion and 17.0%15.8% of total assets at December 31, 2015.2016. The increase is largely reflective of continued maintenance of the Company’s barbell management strategy, with bond purchases focused on maintaining investment portfolio duration while also adding diversification to the portfolio holdings of corporate and municipal sleeves.credit diversification. Portfolio activity during the first half of the year primarily stemmed from a bond repositioning into slightly longer agency mortgage securities in order to obtain better duration adjusted returns, reducing exposuresome repositioning between security classes in order to municipalities that rely on the oil sector,obtain more efficient risk weighting and certain repositioning for better credit risk adjusted returns in the corporate and municipal sleeves.
Accounting guidance requires the Company to designate its securities as held to maturity, available for sale, or trading depending on the Company’s intent regarding its investments at the time of purchase. The Company does not currently maintain a portfolio of trading securities. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016, $1.052017, $1.07 billion, or 98.7% of the portfolio, was classified as available for sale, and $14.2$13.8 million of the portfolio was classified as held to maturity.
The Company held $136.2$577.9 million in securities that are in an unrealized loss position at SeptemberJune 30, 2016; $55.62017; $517.4 million of this total had been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months with the remaining $80.6$60.5 million in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer. These securities were evaluated by management and were determined not to be other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is more-likely-than-not that it will not have to sell the securities before the recovery of their cost basis. To the extent that changes in interest rates, credit spread movements and other factors that influence the fair value of securities continue, the Company may be required to record additional impairment charges for other-than-temporary impairment in future periods. For additional information on the securities portfolio, see Note 3, “Securities” in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.
The Company monitors investment exposures continually, performs credit assessments based on market data available at the time of purchase, and performs ongoing credit due diligence for all collateralized loan obligations, corporate exposures, and municipal securities. The Company’s investment portfolio is regularly monitored for performance enhancements and interest rate risk profiles, with dynamic strategies implemented accordingly.
The Company has the ability to use the investment portfolio, as well as interest-rate financial instruments within internal policy guidelines, to hedge and manage interest-rate risk as part of its asset/liability strategy. See Note 7, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report for additional information concerning derivative financial instruments.
Lending Activities
The Company’s wholesale lending team includes bankers, cash management specialists and originations, underwriting and servicing staff allayed against each of our disciplines in wholesale lending which includes commercial real estate, commercial business, business banking, cash management, and a shared national credits desk. Our consumer lending team includes the following disciplines which in nearly all channels drive lending activities: retail branches and retail lending, customer contact center which includes outbound calling, direct sales, correspondent lending, LH-Finance, and United Northeast Financial Advisors (“UNFA”).
The Company’s lending activities have historically been conducted principally in Connecticut and Massachusetts; however, as we seek to enhance shareholder value through favorable risk adjusted returns, we often will lend throughout the Northeast and to a lesser extent certain Mid-Atlantic states and other select states. The Company’s experience in our geographic areas we lend in allow us to look at a wide variety of commercial, mortgage, and consumer loans. Opportunities are initially reviewed to determine if they meet the Company’s credit underwriting guidelines. After successfully passing an initial credit review, we then utilize the Company’s risk adjusted return on capital model to determine pricing and structure that supports, or is accretive to, the Company’s return goals. Our systematic approach is intended to create better risk adjusted returns on capital. Through the Company’s Loan and Funds Management Policies, both approved by the Board of Directors, we set limits on loan size, relationship size, and product concentration for both loans and deposits. Creating diversified and granular loan and deposit portfolios is how we diversify risk and create improved return on risk adjusted capital.
The Company can originate, purchase, and sell commercial loans, commercial real estate loans, residential and commercial construction loans, residential real estate loans collateralized by one-to-four family residences, home equity lines of credit and fixed rate loans, marine floor plan loans and other consumer loans.
The Company’s approach to lending is influenced in large part by its risk adjusted return models. With the high level of competition for high quality earning assets, pricing is often at levels that are not accretive to the Company’s aspirational equity return metrics. The Company utilizes a web-based risk adjusted return model that includes inputs such as internal risk ratings, the marginal cost of funding the origination, contractual loan characteristics such as interest rate and term, and origination and servicing costs. This model allows the Company to understand the life-of-loan impact of the origination, leading to proactive and informed decision making that results in the origination of loans that support the Company’s aspirational return metrics. We seek to acquire, develop, and preserve high quality relationships with customers, prospects, and centers of influence that support our return goals and compensate our commercial bankers and branch management for improving returns on equity for their respective areas of responsibility.
Periodically, the Company will purchase loans to enhance geographical diversification, enhance returns, and gain exposure to loan types that we are unwilling to make infrastructure investments in to originate ourselves. Loans purchased by the Company are underwritten by us, are generally serviced by others (“SBO”), and undergo a robust due diligence process. Management performs a vigorous due diligence exercise on the originator, and visits and observes first hand the servicer and its operational process and controls to ensure that the originator and servicer both meet the standards of the Company. Financial modeling includes reviewing prospective yields, costs associated with purchasing loans, including servicing fees and assumed loss rates to ensure that risk adjusted returns of the target portfolio are accretive to our return goals. The Company has set portfolio and capital limits on each of its purchased portfolios and has hired staff to oversee ongoing monitoring of the respective servicer and performance to ensure the portfolio performance is meeting our initial and ongoing expectations. In the event that our expectations are not met, the Company has many remedies at its disposal, including replacing the servicer, ending its relationship with the originator, and selling the entire target portfolio. Contractually, the Company has the ability to cross sell dissimilar products to customers in its purchased portfolios allowing us to develop a relationship using our existing online and mobile channels that support servicing and acquisition of our current and prospective clients without the need for a brick and mortar branch.

Over the past ten quarters, the franchise lending portfolio has increased from $0 to over $56.0 million in loan commitments. The educational banking practice consists of K-12 schools and colleges/universities utilizing both taxable and tax-exempt loan products for campus improvements, expansions and working capital needs. Generally, educational term loans have longer dated maturities that amortize up to 30 years and typically offer the Company a full deposit and cash management relationship. Over the past ten quarters, the Company has seen growth in educational commitments of $103.4 million
and deposit increases of over $32.7 million. Both the franchise and educational lending areas focus on opportunities across New England and certain Mid-Atlantic states.

LH-Finance, the Company’s marine lending unit, include purchased and originated retail loans and dealer floorplan loans. The Company’s relationships are limited to well established dealers of global premium brand manufacturers. The Company’s top three manufacturer customers have been in business between 30 and 100 years. The Company has generally secured agreements with premium manufacturers to support dealer floor plan loans which may reduce the Company’s credit exposure to the dealer, despite our underwriting of each respective dealer. We have developed incentive retail pricing programs with the dealers to drive retail dealer flow. Retail loans are generally limited to premium manufacturers with established relationships with the Company which have a vested interest in the secondary market pricing of their respective brand due to the limited inventory available for resale. Consequently, while not contractually committed, manufacturers will often support secondary resale values which can have the effect of reducing losses from non-performing retail marine loans. Retail borrowers generally have very high credit scores, substantial down payments, substantial net worth, personal liquidity, and excess cash flow. Retail loans have an average life of four years and key markets include Florida, California, and New England.
The Company has employed specific parameters taking into account: geographical considerations; exposure hold levels; qualifying financial partners; and most importantly sound credit quality with strong metrics. A thorough independent analysis of the credit quality of each borrower is made for every transaction whether it is an assignment or participation.
Asset Quality
The Company’s lending strategy focuses on direct relationship lending within its primary market area as the quality of assets underwritten is an important factor in the successful operation of a financial institution. Non-performing assets, loan delinquency and credit loss levels are considered to be key measures of asset quality. Management strives to maintain asset quality through its underwriting standards, servicing of loans and management of non-performing assets since asset quality is a key factor in the determination of the level of the allowance for loan losses (“ALL”).losses. See Note 4, “Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses” contained elsewhere in this report for further information concerning the Allowance for Loan Losses.

Non-performing Assets
Generally loans are placed on non-accrual if collection of principal or interest in full is in doubt, if the loan has been restructured as part of a TDR, or if any payment of principal or interest is past due 90 days or more. A loan may be returned to accrual status if it has demonstrated sustained contractual performance for six continuous months or if all principal and interest amounts contractually due are reasonably assured of repayment within a reasonable period. There are, on occasion, circumstances that cause commercial loans to be placed in the 90 days delinquent and accruing category, for example, loans that are considered to be well secured and in the process of collection or renewal. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, loans totaling $458,000$2.1 million and $307,000,$750,000, respectively, were greater than 90 days past due and accruing. The loans reported as past due 90 days or more and still accruing represent loans that were evaluated by management and maintained on accrual status based on an evaluation of the borrower.At Septemberborrower.

As displayed in the table above, non-performing assets at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 decreased to $36.1$34.3 million compared to $38.6$36.0 million at December 31, 2015.2016.
Non-accruing TDR loans increased by $1.7 million$171,000 since December 31, 2015,2016, primarily due to an increase of $662,000$364,000 for residential real estate and home equity TDR loans, and an increase in commercial business TDRs of $771,000.$509,000, and an increase in investor commercial real estate TDR loans of $68,000, partially offset by a decrease of $437,000 in construction TDR loans and a decrease of $322,000 in other consumer non-accruing TDR loans. The increase in the residential real estate and home equity categories reflects, in part, an increase in the number of home equity line of credit loans that have reached maturity and converted from interest only to principal and interest payments. Difficulty making these larger payments, combined with a decline in home values related to these loans, is a driver of this increase. HomeAdditionally, home equity non-accrual loans increased $863,000$1.2 million to $3.6$5.2 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2016. This increase is also2017 due to the increasing number of maturing home equity lines of credit converting from interest only to principal and interest payments.credit.
Residential real estate non-accrual loans increased $334,000decreased $167,000 to $11.5$11.2 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. The Company continues to originate loans with strong credit characteristics and routinely updates non-performing loans in terms of FICO scores and LTV ratios. Through continued heightened account monitoring, collections and workout efforts, the Bank is committed to mortgage solution programs designed to assist homeowners to remain in their homes. As has been its practice historically, the Company does not originate subprime loans.
Other consumer non-accrual loans increaseddecreased to $328,000$40,000 at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. This decrease represents a decrease in non-accruing marine loans reported at June 30, 2017. The increasecurrent balance represents one marine loan and two consumer loans which evidenced payments due in excess of 90 days and resulted in the loanloans being classified as non-accrual.
At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, commercial real estate non-accrual loans (including owner-occupied and investor non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans) decreased $4.9 million$962,000 and commercial business non-accrual loans decreased $1.9 million.increased $624,000.

At December 31, 20152016, nonaccrual construction loans consisted of 1411 commercial relationships and totaled $2.8$1.7 million.
Troubled Debt Restructuring
Loans are considered restructured in a troubled debt restructuring when the Company has granted concessions to a borrower due to the borrower’s financial condition that it otherwise would not have considered. These concessions include modifications of the terms of the debt such as reduction of the stated interest rate other than normal market rate adjustments, extension of maturity dates, or reduction of principal balance or accrued interest. The decision to restructure a loan, versus aggressively enforcing the collection of the loan, may benefit the Company by increasing the ultimate probability of collection.
TDR loans are classified as accruing or non-accruing based on management’s assessment of the collectability of the loan. Loans which are already on non-accrual status at the time of the restructuring generally remain on non-accrual status for a minimum of six months before management considers such loans for return to accruing TDR status. Accruing restructured loans are placed into
non-accrual status if and when the borrower fails to comply with the restructured terms and management deems it unlikely that the borrower will return to a status of compliance in the near term. Once a loan is classified as a TDR it retains that classification for the life of the loan; however, some TDRs may demonstrate acceptable performance allowing the TDR loan to be placed on accruing TDR status. The increase in TDRs is primarily attributable to the addition of larger commercial loans along with increases in residential and home equity TDRs during the period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.
The following table provides detail of TDR balances for the periods presented:

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded credit commitments are maintained at a level estimated by management to provide for probable losses inherent within the loan portfolio. Probable losses are estimated based upon a quarterly review of the loan portfolio, which includes historic default and loss experience, specific problem loans, risk rating profile, economic conditions and other pertinent factors which, in management’s judgment, warrant current recognition in the loss estimation process. The Company’s Risk Management Committee meets quarterly to review and conclude on the adequacy of the reserves and to present their recommendation to executive management and the Board of Directors.
Management considers the adequacy of the ALL a critical accounting estimate. The adequacy of the ALL is subject to considerable assumptions and judgment used in its determination. Therefore, actual losses could differ materially from management’s estimate if actual conditions differ significantly from the assumptions utilized. These conditions include economic
factors in the Company’s market and nationally, industry trends and concentrations, real estate values and trends, and the financial condition and performance of individual borrowers. While management believes the ALL is adequate as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, actual results may prove different and the differences could be significant.
The Company’s general practice is to identify problem credits early and recognize full or partial charge-offs as promptly as practicable when it is determined that the collection of loan principal is unlikely. The Company recognized full or partial charge-offs on collateral dependent impaired loans when the collateral is deemed to be insufficient to support the carrying value of the loan. The Company does not recognize a recovery when an updated appraisal indicates a subsequent increase in value.
The Company had aan allowance for loan losslosses of $45.1 million, or 0.89%, of total loans at June 30, 2017 as compared to an allowance for loan losses of $41.1$42.8 million, or 0.87%, of total loans at September 30, 2016 as compared to a loan loss allowance of $33.9 million, or 0.73%, of total loans at December 31, 2015.2016. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate and consistent with asset quality indicators and that it represents the best estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
The unallocated portion of the ALL represents general valuation allowances that are not allocated to a specific loan portfolio. The unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses and reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating allocated and general reserves in the portfolio. The unallocated portion of the ALL at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 increased $531,000$80,000 to $1.3$1.5 million compared to December 31, 2015.2016. See Note 4, “Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses” in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report for a table providing the activity in the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015.2016.
In addition to the ALL, the Company maintains a reserve for unfunded credit commitments in other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. The allowance for credit losses analysis includes consideration of the risks associated with unfunded loan commitments. The reserve calculation includes factors that are consistent with ALL methodology for funded loans. The combination of ALL and unfunded reserves is calculated in a manner to capture the entirety of the underlying business relationship of the customer. The amounts of unfunded commitments and the associated reserves may be subject to fluctuations due to originations, the timing and volume of loan funding, as well as changes in risk ratings. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the reserve for unfunded credit commitments was $1.4$1.6 million and $1.2$1.4 million, respectively.
Sources of Funds
The primary source of the Company’s cash flows, for use in lending and meeting its general operational needs, is deposits. Additional sources of funds are from FHLBB advances, reverse repurchase agreements, federal funds lines, loan and mortgage-backed securities repayments, securities sales proceeds and maturities, subordinated debt, and earnings. While scheduled loan and securities repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, loan and investment security prepayments and deposit inflows are influenced by prevailing interest rates and local economic conditions and are inherently uncertain.
Deposits
The Company offers a wide variety of deposit products to consumer, business and municipal customers. Deposit customers can access their accounts in a variety of ways including branch banking, ATM’s, online banking, mobile banking and telephone banking. Effective advertising, direct mail, well-designed product offerings, customer service and competitive pricing policies have been successful in attracting and retaining deposits. A key strategic objective is to grow the base of checking customers by retaining existing relationships while attracting new customers.
Deposits provide an important source of funding for the Bank as well as an ongoing stream of fee revenue. The Company attempts to control the flow of funds in its deposit accounts according to its need for funds and the cost of alternative sources of funding. A Retail Pricing Committee meets weekly and a Management ALCO Committee meets monthly, to determine pricing and marketing initiatives. Actions of these committees influence the flow of funds primarily by the pricing of deposits, which is affected to a large extent by competitive factors in its market area and asset/liability management strategies.
The following table presents deposits by category as of the dates indicated:

United Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of twelve district Federal Home Loan Banks, each subject to the supervision and regulation of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Members are required to own capital stock in the FHLBB in order for the Bank to access advances and borrowings which are collateralized by certain home mortgages or securities of the U.S. Government and its agencies. The capital stock investment is restricted in that there is no market for it, and it can only be redeemed by the FHLBB.
Total FHLBB advances increased $29.9decreased $55.8 million to $975.4$989.2 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, exclusive of the purchase accounting mark adjustment on the advances, compared to $945.5 million$1.04 billion at December 31, 2015.

Additionally, the Company has twothree advances with the FHLBB totaling $75.0$100.0 million that are underlying hedge instruments; the interest is based on the three 3-month LIBOR and adjusts quarterly. The Company also has one Flipper advance with the FHLBB totaling $25.0 million, effective March 18, 2016,
with an initial interest rate of 0.05% per annum. The advance repricesrepriced to 3-month LIBOR minus 60 basis points on a quarterly basis until March 2017, at which point the advance convertsconverted to a fixed rate of 1.62% and is callable at the option of the FHLBB on a quarterly basis. The average cost of funds including these adjustable advances is 0.91%1.34%. FHLBB borrowings represented 14.9%14.4% and 15.2%15.8% of assets at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability to meet cash needs at all times with available cash or by conversion of other assets to cash at a reasonable price and in a timely manner. The Company maintains liquid assets at levels the Company considers adequate to meet its liquidity needs. The Company adjusts its liquidity levels to fund loan commitments, repay its borrowings, fund deposit outflows, pay escrow obligations on all items in the loan portfolio and to fund operations. The Company also adjusts liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives.
The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans, the sale in the secondary market of loans held for sale, maturities and sales of investment securities and other short-term investments, periodic pay downs of mortgage-backed securities, and earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and rates offered by our competition. The Company sets the interest rates on our deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, the Company invests excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.
A portion of the Company’s liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents, which are a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016, $214.22017, $74.9 million of the Company’s assets were held in cash and cash equivalents compared to $95.2$90.9 million at December 31, 2015.2016. The Company’s primary sources of cash are principal repayments on loans, proceeds from the calls and maturities of investment securities, increases in deposit accounts, proceeds from residential loan sales and advances from the FHLBB.
Liquidity management is both a daily and longer-term function of business management. If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the FHLBB, which provide an additional source of funds. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company had $975.4$989.2 million in advances from the FHLBB and an additional available borrowing limit of $408.5$445.3 million based on collateral requirements of the FHLBB inclusive of the line of credit. In addition, the Bank has relationships with brokered sweep deposit providers with outstanding balances of $223.6$361.4 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. Internal policies limit wholesale borrowings to 40% of total assets, or $2.62$2.75 billion, at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. In addition, the Company has uncommitted federal funds linelines of credit with four counterparties totaling $107.5 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. No federal funds purchased were outstanding at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.
The Company has established access to the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston’s discount window through a borrower in custody agreement. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Bank had pledged 27 commercial loans, with outstanding balances totaling $195.8$192.3 million. Based on the amount of pledged collateral, the Bank had available liquidity of $149.6$143.9 million.
At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $256.6$239.5 million and unfunded commitments under construction loans, lines of credit, stand-by letters of credit, unused checking overdraft lines of credit, and unused credit card lines of $818.6$956.9 million. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, time deposits scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $0.00$1.27 billion. Based
on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Company, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In the event a significant portion of its deposits are not retained by the Company, it will have to utilize other funding sources, such as FHLBB advances in order to maintain its level of assets. Alternatively, we would reduce our level of liquid assets, such as our cash and cash equivalents in order to meet funding needs. In addition, the cost of such deposits may be significantly higher if market interest rates are higher or there is an increased amount of competition for deposits in our market area at the time of renewal.
The main sources of liquidity at the parent company level are dividends from United Bank and proceeds received fromthe ability to obtain funding through capital market issuances, as evidenced by the Company’s issuance of $75.0 million of subordinated notes in September 2014. The main uses of liquidity are payments of dividends to common stockholders, repurchase of United Financial’s common stock, payment of subordinated note interest, and corporate operating expenses. There are certain restrictions on the payment of dividends. See Note 18, “Regulatory Matters” in the Company’s
2015 2016 Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016 for further information on dividend restrictions.
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company and the Bank are categorized as “well-capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. See Note 9, “Regulatory Matters” in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report for discussion of capital requirements.
The liquidity position of the Company is continuously monitored and adjustments are made to balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources or operations. In addition, management is not aware of any regulatory recommendations regarding liquidity, which if implemented would have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company has a detailed liquidity contingency plan which is designed to respond to liquidity concerns in a prompt and comprehensive manner. It is designed to provide early detection of potential problems and details specific actions required to address liquidity stress scenarios.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
General: The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, in general have longer contractual maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, our Board of Directors has established a Risk Committee which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. Management monitors the level of interest rate risk on a regular basis and the Risk Committee meets at least quarterly to review our asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position.
We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. During the low interest rate environment that has existed in recent years, we have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk: (i) emphasizing adjustable rate loans including, adjustable rate one-to-four family, commercial and consumer loans, (ii) selling longer-term 1-4 family fixed rate mortgage loans in the secondary market, (iii) reducing and shortening the expected average life of the investment portfolio, and (iv) a forward starting hedge strategy for future dated wholesale funding and (v) a loan level hedging program. These measures should serve to reduce the volatility of our future net interest income in different interest rate environments.
Quantitative Analysis
Income Simulation: Simulation analysis is used to estimate our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. The Company models a static balance sheet when measuring interest rate risk, in which a stable balance sheet (both size and mix)is projected throughout the modeling horizon. Under a static approach both the size and mix of the balance sheet remains constant, with maturing loan and deposit balances replaced as “new volumes” within the same loan and deposit category, repricing at the respective scenario’s market rate. This adoption was made in a continued effort to align with regulatory best practices and to highlight the current level of risk in the Company’s positions without the effects of growth assumptions. We utilize the income simulation method to analyze our interest rate sensitivity position to manage the risk associated with interest rate movements. At least quarterly, our Risk Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the potential effect changes in interest rates could have on the repayment or repricing of rate sensitive assets and funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities. Our most recent simulation uses projected repricing of assets and liabilities at SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated repayments and scheduled rate adjustments. Prepayment rate assumptions as well as deposit characterization assumptions can have a significant
impact on interest income simulation results. Because of the large percentage of loans and mortgage-backed assets we hold, rising or falling interest rates may have a significant impact on the actual prepayment speeds of our mortgage related assets that may in turn effect our interest rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayment speeds slow and the average expected life of our assets would tend to lengthen more than the expected average life of our liabilities and therefore would most likely result in a decrease to our asset sensitive position. As a measure of potential market risk arising from a parallel shock of magnitude to the Company’s net interest income, Management includes a 300 basis point parallel increase in rates in the quarterly simulation results. In order to observe the impact of a slower and gradual rate increase over the respective 12 and 24-month periods, Management includes a 150 basis point ramp simulation; the simulation assumes that interest rates increase by 25 basis points every other month, totaling a 150 basis point increase by month 12 and a 300 basis point increase by month 24. To highlight the net interest income of a falling rate environment, Management includes a 50 basis point parallel decrease in rates.
| | | Percentage Decrease in Estimated Net Interest Income | Percentage Decrease in Estimated Net Interest Income |
| Over 12 Months | | Over 12 -24 Months | Over 12 Months | | Over 12 -24 Months |
300 basis point increase in rates | 1.74 | % | | (4.78 | )% | (0.79 | )% | | (6.58 | )% |
150 basis point ramp in rates | | 5.47 | % | | 4.05 | % |
50 basis point decrease in rates | (5.25 | )% | | (7.04 | )% | (3.92 | )% | | (5.67 | )% |
United Bank’sThe Company’s Asset/Liability policy currently limits projected changes in net interest income based on a matrix of projected total risk-based capital relative to the interest rate change for each twelve month period measured compared to the flat rate scenario. As a result, the higher a level of projected risk-based capital, the higher the limit of projected net interest income volatility the
Company will accept. As the level of projected risk-based capital is reduced, the policy requires that net interest income volatility also is reduced, making the limit dynamic relative to the capital level needed to support it. These policy limits are re-evaluated on a periodic basis (not less than annually) and may be modified, as appropriate. Because of the asset-sensitivity of our balance sheet, income is projected to increase if interest rates rise in the 12 month projected horizon.on a slow, gradual basis as is expected to occur with Federal Open Market Committee rate increases. Also included in the decreasing rate scenario is the assumption that further declines are reflective of a deeper recession as well as narrower credit spreads from Federal Open Market Committee actions. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, income at risk over the next twelve months (i.e., the change in net interest income) increased 1.74%decreased 0.79% and decreased 5.25%3.92% based on a 300 basis point average increase or a 50 basis point average decrease, respectively. When considering the impact of the 150 basis point ramp simulation, income at risk increased 5.47% over the 12-month simulation horizon. While we believe the assumptions used are reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates will approximate actual future mortgage-backed security and loan repayment activity.
