In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” This ASU addresses diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earning disclosure requirements for business combinations. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” This ASU provides additional guidance or clarification to help creditors determine whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired, and should measure impairment on those receivables prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Additional disclosures are also required under this ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU. The ASU is expected to cause more loan modifications to be classified as Troubled Debt Restructurings and the Company is evaluating its modification programs and practices in light of the new ASU.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” The objective of this ASU is to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. This ASU prescribes when an entity may or may not recognize a sale upon the transfer of financial assets subject to repurchase agreements. The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.” The amendments in this ASU explain how to measure fair value. They do not require additional fair value measurements and are not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The objective of this ASU is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. Under this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. An entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. An entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. At June 30, 2011 (unaudited), unrealized losses related to nine mortgage-backed securities with a 1.8% unrealized loss and three corporate debt securities with an unrealized loss of 0.03% were caused primarily by changes in market interest rates. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Based on the Company’s June 30, 2011 (unaudited) quarterly review of securities in the investment portfolio, management deemed securities with unrealized losses as of June 30, 2011 (unaudited) to be temporarily impaired. At December 31, 2010, unrealized losses related to one mortgage-backed security with a 2.70% unrealized loss and two corporate debt securities with an unrealized loss of 1.02% were caused primarily by changes in market interest rates. Based on the Company’s December 31, 2010 quarterly review of securities in the investment portfolio, management deemed securities with unrealized losses as of December 31, 2010 to be temporarily impaired.

NOTE 4 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans.

Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.

The accrual of interest on all loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Cash receipts of interest income on impaired loans are credited to principal to the extent necessary to eliminate doubt as to the collectibility of the net carrying amount of the loan. Some or all of the cash receipts of interest income on impaired loans is recognized as interest income if the remaining net carrying amount of the loan is deemed to be fully collectible. When recognition of interest income on an impaired loan on a cash basis is appropriate, the amount of income that is recognized is limited to that which would have been accrued on the net carrying amount of the loan at the contractual interest rate. Any cash interest payments received in excess of the limit and not applied to reduce the net carrying amount of the loan are recorded as recoveries of charge-offs until the charge-offs are fully recovered.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance consists of general, allocated and unallocated components, as further described below.

General Component:

The general component of the allowance for loan losses is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors stratified by the following loan segments: residential real estate, commercial real estate, construction, commercial and consumer. Management uses a rolling average of historical losses based on a time frame appropriate to capture relevant loss data for each loan segment. This historical loss factor is adjusted for the following qualitative factors: levels/trends in delinquencies; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards and other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices; experience/ability/depth of lending management and staff; and national and local economic trends and conditions. There were no changes in the Company’s policies or methodology pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses during 2011 or 2010.

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 Company generally does not originate loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80 percent and does not grant subprime loans. Loans in this segment are generally collateralized by owner-occupied residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Commercial real estate – Loans in this segment are primarily income-producing properties throughout New England. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties are 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 and continually monitors the cash flows of these loans.

Construction loans – Loans in this segment primarily include speculative real estate development loans for which payment is derived from sale and/or lease up of the property. Credit risk is affected by cost overruns, time to sell at an adequate price, and market conditions.

 

12


Table of Contents

Commercial 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 resultant decreased consumer and business spending, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Indirect auto loans – The Company’s interest in the vehicle is secured with a recorded lien on the state title of each automobile. Collections are sensitive to changes in borrower financial circumstances, and the collateral can depreciate or be damaged in the event of repossession. Repayment is dependent on the credit quality and the cash flow of the individual borrower.

Consumer loans – Loans in this segment include secured and unsecured consumer loans. Repayment is dependent on the credit quality and the cash flow of the individual borrower.

Allocated Component:

The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

The Company periodically may agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). All TDRs are initially classified as impaired.

Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. Generally, TDRs are measured using the discounted cash flow method except in instances where foreclosure is probable in which case the fair value of the collateral is used. All other impaired loans are collateral dependent and are measured through the collateral method. All loans, with the exception of consumer loans, on non-accrual status and TDR’s are considered to be impaired. When the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded through the valuation allowance.

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 seven grade internal loan rating system for commercial, commercial real estate and construction loans, and for certain residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans that are rated if the loans become delinquent.

Loans rated 1 - 3: Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.

Loans rated 4: Loans in this category are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

Loans rated 5: 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 obligors and/or the collateral pledged. There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected.

Loans rated 6: Loans in this category are considered “doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans rated 7: Loans in this category are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial, commercial real estate loans, and construction loans. On an annual basis, the Company engages an independent third party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process.

The following table presents the Company’s loans by risk rating at June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and December 31, 2010:

(A) Residential real estate, home equity, indirect auto loans and consumer loans are not formally risk rated by the Company.

Certain residential mortgage loans are periodically sold by the Company to the secondary market. Most of these loans are sold without recourse, and the Company releases the servicing rights. For loans sold with servicing rights retained, we provide the servicing for the loans on a per-loan fee basis. The Company also periodically sells auto loans to other financial institutions without recourse, and the Company generally provides servicing for these loans. At June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and December 31, 2010, residential loans previously sold and serviced by the Company were $26,386 and $33,284, respectively. At June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and December 31, 2010, auto loans previously sold and serviced by the Company were $12,524 and $0, respectively.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and December 31, 2010, loans sold with recourse amounted to $1,577 and $5,199, respectively. The Company has not incurred, nor expects to incur, any losses related to the loans sold with recourse.

There was no valuation allowance for mortgage servicing rights at June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and December 31, 2010. There were no additions to or writedowns in the valuation allowance during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2010.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Hierarchy

ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. The guidance allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis.

In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1 - Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 1 also includes U.S. Treasury, other U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

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

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

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value for June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and December 31, 2010.

The Company’s cash instruments are generally classified within level 1 or level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. There were no significant transfers between level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy for the period ended June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2010.

The Company’s investment in mortgage-backed securities and other debt securities available-for-sale is generally classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from independent pricing services. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the instrument’s terms and conditions.

Level 3 is for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Subsequent to inception, management only changes level 3 inputs and assumptions when corroborated by evidence such as transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalization and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt markets, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows.

The Company’s impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using level 2 inputs based upon appraisals of similar properties obtained from a third party. For level 3 inputs, fair value is based upon management estimates of the value of the underlying collateral or the present value of the expected cash flows.

The following summarizes assets measured at fair value as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

The Company may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets on a non-recurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at June 30, 2011 (unaudited).

The following tables summarize the fair value hierarchy used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets as of June 30, 2011(unaudited). The losses represent the amount of write-down recorded during the six-month period on the assets held at June 30, 2011(unaudited):

NOTE 6 – SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS AND OTHER BORROWED FUNDS

The securities sold under agreements to repurchase as of June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and December 31, 2010 are securities sold on a short-term basis by the Company that have been accounted for not as sales but as borrowings. The securities consisted of U.S. government and federal agency obligations. The securities were held in the Company’s safekeeping account at Brown Brothers, Harriman and Company under the control of the Company. The securities are pledged to the purchasers of the securities. The purchasers have agreed to sell to the Company substantially identical securities at the maturity of the agreements.

Other borrowed funds consist of the balance of loans sold with recourse. On March 16, 2006, seventeen loans with an aggregate principal balance of $10,449 were sold to another financial institution (investor). As of June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and December 31, 2010, the principal balance of these loans totaled $1,577 and $5,199, respectively. The agreement related to this sale contains provisions requiring the Company during the initial 120 months to repurchase any loan that becomes 90 days past due. The Company will repurchase the past due loan for 100 percent of the unpaid principal plus interest to repurchase date.

NOTE 7 – POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS

Supplemental Retirement Plans

The Company has supplemental retirement plans for eligible executive officers that provide for a lump sum benefit upon termination of employment at or after age 55 and completing 10 or more years of service (certain reduced benefits are available prior to attaining age 55 or fewer than 10 years of service), subject to certain limitations as set forth in the agreements. The present value of these future payments is being accrued over the service period. The estimated liability at June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and December 31, 2010 relating to these plans was $1,079 and $1,028, respectively.

The Company has a supplemental retirement plan for eligible trustees that provides for monthly benefits based upon years of service to the Company, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the agreements. The present value of these future payments is being accrued over the estimated period of service. The estimated liability for the six months ended June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2010 relating to this plan was $571 and $580, respectively.

Effective October 1, 2010, the Company established the Belmont Savings Bank Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The purpose of this plan is to permit certain employees of the Company to receive supplemental retirement income from the Company. At June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and December 31, 2010, there were three participants in this plan, respectively. The plan is unfunded.

Profit-Sharing Plan

The Company’s Board of Trustees has authorized a profit-sharing plan whereby officers and employees with at least three months of service are eligible to participate. The profit-sharing plan provides for a cash payment to each eligible participant based upon a predetermined percentage of the Company’s net operating earnings each fiscal year. In 2005, a new Incentive Compensation Plan was created for the management team and they became ineligible to participate in the profit-sharing plan. The profit-sharing plan was terminated during 2010. Profit-sharing plan expense for both the six months ended June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and for the year ended December 31, 2010 amounted to $0.

Incentive Compensation Plan

In 2005, the Board of Trustees approved an incentive compensation plan whereby all members of the management team with at least one full year of service are eligible to participate. This plan was amended in 2008. The incentive compensation plan provides for a cash payment to eligible participants based on the Company’s income benchmarks and a participant’s level of participation as defined in the plan. Compensation expense recognized was $140 and $68 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (unaudited), respectively and $396 and $140 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (unaudited), respectively.

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan covering substantially all employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. Under the provisions of this plan, employees are able to contribute up to an annual limit of the lesser of 75% of eligible compensation or the maximum allowed by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company’s contributions for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (unaudited) totaled $155 and $83, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (unaudited) totaled $299 and $183, respectively.

Salary Deferral Plan

The Company has a salary deferral plan by which selected employees and Trustees of the Company are entitled to elect, prior to the beginning of each year, to defer the receipt of an amount of their compensation for the forthcoming year. The recorded liability at June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and December 31, 2010 relating to this plan was $2,085 and $2,070, respectively.

Capital Appreciation Plan

Effective September 30, 2010, the Company established the Capital Appreciation Plan. The purpose of this plan is to attract, retain, and motivate certain key employees and trustees of the Company. Eligible participants may receive an award based on capital appreciation of the Bank and the Bank’s return on average assets, entitling the employee or trustee to a specific percentage of the Employee or Trustee Capital Appreciation Pool as outlined in the plan. The value of any award payable to a participant shall be paid in the form of a single lump sum. The vesting period associated with the Plan begins the date a participant is awarded a Capital Appreciation Award and ends on June 30, 2014. The Company recognized no expense in relation to the plan during the six months ended June 30, 2011 (unaudited) or during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Severance Agreements

The Company entered into severance agreements with two executives effective May 12, 2010. Upon separation of service from the Company, each executive is entitled to a severance benefit as defined in the agreements. The benefit amount shall be distributed in installments in accordance with the Company’s payroll schedule for executive employees, provided that the undistributed balance, if any, as of the first anniversary of the first installment shall be distributed in a lump sum. In addition, for up to one year following separation from service, the executives may continue to participate in the Company’s group health plan. Both executives have terminated employment with the Company during 2010 and have begun receiving severance benefits in accordance with each individual’s agreement. The recorded liability at June 30, 2011 (unaudited) and December 31, 2010 relating to the severance agreements was $64 and $200, respectively.

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

BSB Bancorp, MHC adopted a plan of conversion on June 2, 2011, as amended on August 10, 2011, pursuant to which Belmont Savings Bank (the “Bank”) will convert from the mutual holding company to the stock holding company form of organization. In connection with the conversion, the Bank will become a wholly owned subsidiary of BSB Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and the Company will offer shares of its common stock to eligible depositors of the Bank, to the Bank’s employee stock ownership plan, to employees, officers, trustees, directors and corporators of the Bank and to the general public. The conversion is subject to approval by BSB Bancorp, MHC’s corporators and the receipt of regulatory approval and orders for at least 5,780,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon the completion of the conversion, BSB Bancorp, MHC and the Bank’s current Massachusetts chartered mid-tier holding company, BSB Bancorp, Inc., will cease to exist.

The cost of conversion and issuing the capital stock will be deferred and deducted from the proceeds of the offering. In the event the conversion and offering are not completed, any deferred costs will be charged to operations. Through June 30, 2011, the Company had incurred approximately $491,000 (unaudited) in conversion costs, which are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

Table of Contents

In connection with the plan of conversion, the Company plans to establish the Belmont Savings Bank Foundation (the “Foundation”). The Foundation will be funded with $200,000 in cash and 2.0% of the Company’s stock that is sold in the offering.

At the time of conversion from a mutual holding company to a stock holding company, the Company will substantially restrict retained earnings by establishing a liquidation account and the Bank will establish a parallel liquidation account. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held. The Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following analysis discusses the changes in financial condition and results of operation of the Company, and should be read in conjunction with both the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto, appearing in Part 1, Item 1 of this report.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “will,” “may” and words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

 

   

statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

 

   

statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;

 

   

statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and

 

   

estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this document, except as required by law.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

 

   

our ability to successfully implement our new business strategy, which includes significant asset and liability growth;

 

   

our ability to increase our market share in our market areas and capitalize on growth opportunities;

 

   

our ability to successfully implement our branch network expansion strategy;

 

   

general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected;

 

   

competition among depository and other financial institutions;

 

24


Table of Contents
   

inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;

 

   

adverse changes in the securities markets;

 

   

changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements;

 

   

our ability to successfully integrate acquired entities, if any;

 

   

changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

 

   

changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

 

   

changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans;

 

   

changes in our financial condition or results of operations that reduce capital available to pay dividends; and

 

   

changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own.

Additional factors that may affect our results are discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) on August 19, 2011. Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in BSB Bancorp Inc.’s Prospectus dated August 12, 2011 , as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Securities Act Rule 424(b)(3) on August 19, 2011.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010

Total Assets. Total assets increased $49.5 million to $549.8 million at June 30, 2011, from $500.3 million at December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily the result of a $76.0 million, or 22.6%, increase in net loans, partially offset by a $14.3 million decrease in securities available for sale, a $7.0 million, or 7.5%, decrease in securities held to maturity, and a $3.7 million, or 17.8%, decrease in cash and cash equivalents.

Loans. Net loans increased by $76.0 million to $412.9 million at June 30, 2011 from $336.9 million at December 31, 2010. The increase in net loans was primarily due to increases of $47.2 million in indirect automobile loans, $25.8 million, or 28.2%, in commercial real estate loans, $8.6 million, or 27.9%, in home equity lines of credit, $5.4 million, or 38.2%, in commercial business loans, and $2.7 million, or 19.5%, in construction loans, partially offset by a $13.7 million, or 7.5%, decrease in one- to four-family residential loans. The increase in commercial real estate loans, home equity lines of credit, indirect auto and commercial business loans reflected our continued emphasis on originating these types of loans according to our strategic plan.

Investment Securities. Total investment securities decreased $21.3 million to $86.9 million at June 30, 2011, from $108.2 million at December 31, 2010, reflecting our funding of higher-yielding loans during the six month period ended June 30, 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we sold our entire $12.9 million portfolio of marketable equity securities for $15.7 million in proceeds and a net realized gain of $2.8 million. The remainder of the decrease in investment securities resulted from decreases of $16.8 million, or 71.8%, in U.S. government and federal agency obligations and $4.1 million, or 7.8%, in corporate debt securities, partially offset by a $13.8 million, or 74.5%, increase in U.S. government and agency-sponsored mortgage-backed securities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3.7 million to $17.3 million at June 30, 2011, from $21.0 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease reflected our funding of loans during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.

Table of Contents

Bank-Owned Life Insurance. We invest in bank-owned life insurance to provide a funding source for our benefit plan obligations. Bank-owned life insurance also generally provides noninterest income that is nontaxable. At June 30, 2011, our investment in bank-owned life insurance was $12.2 million, an increase of $227,000 from $12.0 million at December 31, 2010, reflecting an increase in cash value.

Deposits. Deposits increased $48.8 million, or 14.1%, to $395.7 million at June 30, 2011 from $346.9 million at December 31, 2010. The increase in deposits was primarily due to an increase of $39.6 million, or 12.5%, in interest bearing accounts, reflecting our promotion of our PlatinumBlue high yield savings accounts, which has enabled us to build broader deposit relationships with our customers. The increase in deposits was also due to an increase of $9.2 million, or 30.5%, in non-interest bearing accounts, reflecting our success in expanding services to consumers and small business customers. We also attribute the increase to customers seeking the safety of insured deposits given the volatility of alternative investments.

Borrowings.

Total borrowings decreased $5.7 million, or 5.7%, to $94.9 million at June 30, 2011, from $100.7 million at December 31, 2010. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston decreased $2.3 million to $90.5 million at June 30, 2011, from $92.8 million at December 31, 2010, and repurchase agreements increased $176,000 to $2.8 million at June 30, 2011, from $2.7 million at December 31, 2010.

Equity. Total equity capital increased $67,000 to $47.0 million at June 30, 2011, from $46.9 million at December 31, 2010. The increase was attributable to $1.3 million of net income, partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income resulted primarily from the after-tax effect of changes in unrealized gains on securities available for sale related to the sale during the six months ended June 30, 2011 of our entire portfolio of marketable equity securities.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. We periodically modify loans to extend the term or make other concessions to help a borrower stay current on their loan and to avoid foreclosure. We generally do not forgive principal or interest on loans or modify the interest rates on loans to rates that are below market rates. At June 30, 2011, we had $614,000 of troubled debt restructurings related to two loans. One of these loans was a one- to four-family residential mortgage loan and the other was a home equity line of credit.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

General. Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $188,000, compared to a net loss of $158,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The change in operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the 2010 period resulted from an increase of $1.0 million in noninterest expense and a $746,000 increase in provision for loan losses, partially offset by increases of $1.4 million in noninterest income and $368,000 in net interest and dividend income.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income increased $368,000 to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net interest and dividend

Table of Contents

income was primarily due to an increase in our net interest earning assets, and the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities decreasing faster than the yields on our interest-earning assets in a period of declining market interest rates. Net interest-earning assets increased to $68.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $52.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Our net interest margin increased 9 basis points to 2.98% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 2.89% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and our net interest rate spread increased 12 basis points to 2.81% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 2.69% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income decreased $89,000 to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in interest and dividend income was primarily due to a $264,000 decrease in interest and dividend income on securities and a $169,000 increase in interest income on loans. The decrease in interest income on loans resulted from a 60 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans to 4.71% from 5.31%, primarily due to lower market interest rates during the period. The decrease in yield on loans was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of loans of $58.1 million to $405.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $346.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in interest and dividend income on securities was primarily due to a 5 basis point decrease in the average yield on securities other than Federal Home Loan Bank Stock to 3.01% from 3.06%, and a $33.8 million decrease in the average balance of such securities to $76.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in the average yield on securities other than Federal Home Loan Bank Stock was primarily due to lower market interest rates during the period. Dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank Stock increased to $6,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from no dividend paid for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $457,000 to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease resulted from a 49 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by an $18.6 million, or 4.3%, increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased by $12,000 to $966,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $978,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a 21 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits to 1.10% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from 1.31% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. We experienced decreases in the average cost across all categories of interest-bearing deposits for the three months ended June 30, 2011, reflecting lower market interest rates compared to the prior period. The decrease in average cost was partially offset by a $53.8 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $353.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $300.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Interest expense on borrowings decreased $445,000 to $551,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $996,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a $30.8 million decrease in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances to $87.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $118.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and a 69 basis point decrease in the average cost of such advances to 2.46% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from 3.15% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Provision for Loan Losses. Based on our methodology for establishing our allowance for loan losses and provisions for loan losses discussed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $742,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to a benefit of $4,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The allowance for loan losses was $3.7 million, or 0.9% of total loans, at June 30, 2011, compared to $2.7 million, or 0.8% of total loans, at June 30, 2010. The increase in the provision reflected management’s assessment of the risk in the portfolio resulting from increases in our commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, home equity lines of credit and consumer loans.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income improved by $1.4 million to $432,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from a charge of $986,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The improvement was primarily due to a $1.3 million net loss on trading securities that occurred in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to no such losses in the 2011 period. In addition, net gain on sale of loans increased $104,000 to $147,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $43,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The net loss on trading securities during the three months ended June 30, 2010 was due to market volatility and general economic factors. The net gain on sale of loans was primarily due to $98,000 from the sale of indirect automobile loans in the 2011 period, compared to $0 from the sale of such loans in 2010.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $1.0 million to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The largest components of this increase were salaries and employee benefits, which increased $821,000, or 51.0%, marketing (in support of our new business initiatives), which increased $138,000, or 113.1%, and other noninterest expense, which increased $113,000, or 51.4%. Increased staffing, normal salary increases and increases in payroll taxes primarily accounted for the increase in compensation and benefits expense.

Income Tax Expense. We recorded an income tax benefit of $210,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to an income tax benefit of $233,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The reduction in the tax benefit was due to higher tax exempt income in the 2010 period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was 52.8% compared to 59.6% for the same period in 2010.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

General. Net income increased $598,000, or 80.5%, to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $743,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to a $3.5 million increase in noninterest income and a $464,000 increase in net interest and dividend income, partially offset by a $2.1 million increase in noninterest expense and a $938,000 increase in the provision for loan losses.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income increased by $464,000 to $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net interest and dividend income was primarily due to an increase in our net interest earning assets, and the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities decreasing faster than the yields on our interest-earning assets in a period of declining market interest rates. Net interest-earning assets increased to $64.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $50.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Our net interest margin increased 8 basis points to 2.99% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 2.91% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and our net interest rate spread increased 10 basis points to 2.81% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 2.71% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income decreased $566,000 to $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in interest and dividend income was primarily due to a $430,000 decrease in interest and dividend income on securities and a $142,000 decrease in interest income on loans. The decrease in interest income on loans resulted from a 53 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans to 4.84% from 5.37%, primarily due to lower market interest rates during the period. The decrease in yield on loans was partially offset by an

Table of Contents

increase in the average balance of loans of $32.3 million to $382.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $349.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in interest and dividend income on securities was primarily due to a 32 basis point decrease in the average yield on securities other than Federal Home Loan Bank Stock to 2.86% from 3.18%, and an $18.9 million decrease in the average balance of such securities to $88.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in the average yield on securities other than Federal Home Loan Bank Stock was primarily due to lower market interest rates during the period. Dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank Stock increased to $12,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from no dividend paid for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.0 million to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease resulted from a 50 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a $4.9 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased by $135,000 to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a 25 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits to 1.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from 1.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We experienced decreases in the average cost across all categories of interest-bearing deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2011, reflecting lower market interest rates compared to the prior period. The decrease in average cost was partially offset by a $42.4 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $339.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $297.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Interest expense on borrowings decreased $895,000 to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a $34.4 million decrease in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances to $88.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $122.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and a 62 basis point decrease in the average cost of such advances to 2.61% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from 3.23% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to a provision for loan losses of $280,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The allowance for loan losses was $3.7 million, or 0.9% of total loans, at June 30, 2011, compared to $2.7 million, or 0.8% of total loans, at June 30, 2010. The increase in the provision reflected management’s assessment of the risk in the portfolio resulting from increases in our commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, home equity lines of credit and consumer loans.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income improved to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from a charge of $14,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The improvement was primarily due to an increase of $2.8 million in net realized gain on sales and calls of securities, a $643,000 loss on trading securities for the 2010 period compared to no loss in 2011, and a $129,000 increase in gain on sales of loans. The increase in net realized gain on sales and calls of securities resulted from the sale of our entire portfolio of marketable equity securities during the 2011 period. The net gain on sale of loans was primarily due to $106,000 from the sale of indirect automobile loans in the 2011 period, compared to $0 from the sale of such loans in 2010.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $2.0 million to $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The largest components of this increase were salaries and employee benefits, which increased $1.6 million, or 48.3%, marketing (in support of our new business initiatives), which increased $307,000, or 175.4%, and other noninterest expense, which increased $208,000, or 50.0%. Increased staffing, normal salary increases and increases in payroll taxes primarily accounted for the increase in compensation and benefits expense.

Income Tax Expense. As a result of higher pre-tax income, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $698,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to a provision for income taxes of $327,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting effective tax rates of 34.2% and 30.6%, respectively.

Table of Contents

The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest and dividend income for the fiscal years and 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). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately, based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Management of Market Risk

General. Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our financial condition and results of operations to changes in market interest rates. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee 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 policy and guidelines approved by our Board of Directors.

Historically, we have operated as a traditional thrift institution. A significant portion of our assets consist of longer-term, fixed- and adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans and securities, which we have funded primarily with checking and savings accounts and short-term borrowings. In recent years, in an effort to improve our earnings and to decrease our exposure to interest rate risk, we generally have sold fixed-rate, conforming one- to four-family residential mortgage loans and we have shifted our focus to originating loans that have adjustable rates or higher yields, including commercial real estate loans, home equity lines of credit, commercial business loans and indirect automobile loans. Such loans generally have shorter maturities than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. To manage our interest rate risk, we also invest in shorter maturity investment securities and mortgage-related securities, and seek to obtain general financing through lower cost deposits, wholesale funding and repurchase agreements. We have not conducted hedging activities, such as engaging in futures, options or swap transactions.

Net Interest Income Analysis. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through our net interest income model. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. We estimate what our net interest income would be for a one-year period based on current interest rates. We then calculate what the net interest income would be for the same period under different interest rate assumptions. We also estimate the impact over a five year time horizon. The following table shows the estimated impact on net interest income (“NII”) for the one-year period beginning June 30, 2011 resulting from potential changes in interest rates. These estimates require us to make certain assumptions including loan and mortgage-related investment prepayment speeds, reinvestment rates, and deposit maturities and decay rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, we cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income. Although the net interest income table below provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such estimates are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.

 

Change in

Interest Rates

(basis points) (1)

    

NII Change Year One

(% Change From

Year One Base)

 
  Shock +300         -12.8
  +200         -4.7
  - 100         1.1

 

(1) The calculated change for -100 bp and +200bp, assume a gradual parallel shift across the yield curve over a one-year period. The calculated change for “Shock +300” assumes that market rates experience an instantaneous and sustained increase of 300bp.

The table above indicates that at June 30, 2011, in the event of a 200 basis point increase in interest rates over a one year period, assuming a gradual parallel shift across the yield curve over such period, we would experience a 4.7% decrease in net interest income. At the same date, in the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates over a one year period, assuming a gradual parallel shift across the yield curve over such period, we would experience a 1.1% increase in net interest income.

Economic Value of Equity Analysis. We also analyze the sensitivity of our financial condition to changes in interest rates through our economic value of equity model. This analysis measures the difference between predicted changes in the present value of our assets and predicted changes in the present value of our liabilities assuming various changes in current interest rates. Our economic value of equity analysis as of June 30, 2011 estimated that, in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience an 11.1% decrease in the economic value of our equity. At the same date, our analysis estimated that, in the event of an instantaneous 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 4.6% decrease in the economic value of our equity. The estimates of changes in the economic value of our equity require us to make certain assumptions including loan and mortgage-related investment prepayment speeds, reinvestment rates, and deposit maturities and decay rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, we cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on the economic value of our equity. Although our economic value of equity analysis provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such estimates are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on the economic value of our equity and will differ from actual results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, principal repayments and loan sales and the sale of securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We believe that we had enough sources of liquidity at June 30, 2011 to satisfy our short- and long-term liquidity needs as of that date.

We regularly monitor and adjust our investments in liquid assets based on our assessment of:

 

   

expected loan demand;

 

   

expected deposit flows and borrowing maturities;

 

35


Table of Contents
   

yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and

 

   

the objectives of our asset/liability management program.

Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short-term securities and may also be used to pay off short-term borrowings.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The level of these assets is dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $17.3 million.

Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

At June 30, 2011, we had $8.3 million in loan commitments outstanding. In addition to commitments to originate loans, we had $47.8 million in unused lines of credit to borrowers. Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2011 totaled $66.5 million, or 16.8%, of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we may be required to seek other sources of funds, including loan sales, brokered deposits, repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before June 30, 2012, or on our money market accounts. We believe, however, based on historical experience and current market interest rates that we will retain upon maturity a large portion of our certificates of deposit with maturities of one year or less as of June 30, 2011.

Our primary investing activity is originating loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, we originated $152.2 million and $118.8 million of loans, respectively.

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and, to a lesser extent, brokered deposits. We experienced net increases in deposits of $48.8 million and $34.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the level of brokered deposits were $14.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors, and by other factors.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, which provide an additional source of funds. At June 30, 2011, we had $90.5 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances. At that date we had the ability to borrow up to an additional $32.3 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.

Belmont Savings Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At June 30, 2011, Belmont Savings Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. Belmont Savings Bank is considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

The net proceeds from the stock offering will significantly increase our liquidity and capital resources. Over time, the initial level of liquidity will be reduced as net proceeds from the stock offering are used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of loans. Our financial condition and results of operations will be enhanced by the net proceeds from the stock offering, resulting in increased net interest-earning assets and net interest and dividend income. However, due to the increase in equity resulting from the net proceeds raised in the stock offering, our return on equity will be adversely affected following the stock offering.

Contractual ObligationsWe are obligated to make future payments according to various contracts. As of June 30, 2011, our contractual obligations have not changed materially from those disclosed in our prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) on August 19, 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Loan CommitmentsAs a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our potential future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. In addition, from time to time we enter into commitments to sell mortgage loans that we originate. For the three months and six ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The information required by this item is included in Item 2 of this report under “Management of Market Risk.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers as appropriate to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosures.

The effectiveness of a system of disclosure controls and procedures is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in condition and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Due to such inherent limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud, or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
