These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys financial position at September 30, 2011, the results of operations for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the changes in stockholders equity for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the cash flows for the three month periods ended September 30, 2011and 2010. Operating results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. | Merger Transaction |
On December 29, 2010, FHB Formation LLC (FHB) merged with and into Northeast, with Northeast as the surviving company (the Merger) FHB is the entity through which a group of independent accredited investors (the Investors) purchased 937,933 shares of the Companys outstanding common stock and 1,161,166 shares of newly-issued voting and non-voting common stock, at a price equal to $13.93 per share. As a result of this transaction, $16.2 million of new capital was contributed to the Company, and the Investors collectively own approximately 60% of the outstanding common shares of the Company. We have applied the acquisition method of accounting, as described in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations, to this transaction, which represents an acquisition by FHB of Northeast, with Northeast as the surviving company.
As a result of application of the acquisition method of accounting to the Companys balance sheet, the Companys financial statements from the periods prior to the transaction date are not directly comparable to the financial statements for periods subsequent to the transaction date. To make this distinction, we have labeled balances and results of operations prior to the transaction date as Predecessor Company and balances and results of operations for periods subsequent to the transaction date as Successor Company. The lack of comparability arises from the assets and liabilities having new accounting bases as a result of recording them at their fair values as of the transaction date rather than at historical cost basis. To denote this lack of comparability, the Company has placed a heavy black line between the Successor Company and Predecessor Company columns in the Consolidated Financial Statements and in the tables in the notes to the statements and in this discussion.
Commitments in Connection with Regulatory Approval of the Merger:
The Merger required the approval of the Maine Bureau of Financial Institutions (the Bureau) and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve). Those approvals contain certain commitments by the Company, including the following:
| The Federal Reserve requires that Northeast (i) maintain a leverage ratio (Tier 1) of at least 10%, (ii) maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 15%, (iii) limit purchased loans to 40% of total loans, (iv) fund 100% of loans with core deposits, (v) hold commercial real estate loans (including owner-occupied commercial real estate) to within 300% of total risk-based capital, and (vi) amend the articles of incorporation to address certain technical concerns that the Federal Reserve had relating to the convertibility and transferability of non-voting common stock. The Companys articles of incorporation were amended on March 21, 2011. |
| The Bureau requires that, for a two-year period, Northeast obtain the prior approval of the Bureau for any material deviation from the business plan. The Bureaus approval includes other conditions on capital ratios and loan purchasing that are either the same as or less stringent than those of the Federal Reserve. |
The Company and the Bank are currently in compliance with all commitments to the Federal Reserve and Bureau.
3. | Loans |
Through the period ended September 30, 2011, the Companys lending activities were predominantly conducted in south-central and western Maine and south-eastern New Hampshire. In its Maine and New Hampshire market areas, the Company originates single-family
8
and multi-family residential loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans and a variety of consumer loans. In addition, the Company originates loans for the construction of residential homes, multi-family properties, commercial real estate properties and for land development. The majority of loans originated by the Company are collateralized by real estate. The ability and willingness of residential and commercial real estate, commercial business and construction loan borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the health of the real estate sector in the borrowers geographic area and/or the general economy. In the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 (Fiscal 2011), the Bank launched its Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group from its recently-opened office in Boston, Massachusetts. The Banks loan purchasing business consists primarily of acquiring loans at a discount from their outstanding principal balances. These loans are generally secured by commercial real estate, multi-family residential real estate and other business assets and are purchased from sellers nationwide in the financial services industry or government agencies. At September 30, 2011, the Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group purchased loan balances outstanding totaled $12.3 million. In the future the Bank intends to grow this segment of its loan portfolio, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of its total loan portfolio.
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 the 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 a 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.
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 and is based upon managements periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
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 business 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 volumes 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 Companys policies or methodology pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristic of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:
Residential real estate: The Company generally does not originate loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80 percent and does not grant subprime loans. All loans in this segment are collateralized by owner-occupied residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.
Commercial real estate: At September 30, 2011, loans in this segment are primarily income-producing properties throughout Maine. In the future, the Bank intends to grow its loan purchasing business, through which it acquires loans from sellers nationwide. 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 periodically obtains rent rolls and continually monitors the cash flows of these loans.
Construction loans: Loans in this segment are for owner-occupied real estate for which payment is derived from ongoing rentals or operations. Credit risk is affected by cost overruns 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 resultant decreased consumer spending, will have an effect in the credit quality in this segment.
Consumer loans: Loans in this segment are generally secured and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.
9
Allocated Component:
The allocated components relate to loans that are classified as impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial business, commercial real estate and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. An allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value) of the impaired loan is lower that the carrying value of that loan. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential real estate loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are subject to a troubled debt restructuring agreement.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of the 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 borrowers 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 classified as impaired.
Unallocated Component:
An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect managements 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 an eight point internal loan rating system for commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans as follows:
Loans rated 1 4: Loans in these categories are considered pass rated loans with low to average risk.
Loans rated 5: Loans in this category are considered special mention. These loans are beginning to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.
Loans rated 6: Loans in this category are considered substandard. Generally, a loan is considered substandard if the current net worth inadequately protects it and the 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 7: 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 current existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans rated 8: Loans in this category are considered loss and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.
On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans. Semi-annually, the Company engages an independent third-party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process.

4. | Junior Subordinated Debentures Issued to Affiliated Trust |
NBN Capital Trust II and NBN Capital Trust III were formed in December 2003, and NBN Capital Trust IV was formed in December 2004, to issue and sell common and trust preferred securities, using the proceeds to acquire Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Notes (Junior Subordinated Debentures) from the Company. The Junior Subordinated Debentures are the sole assets of each of the trusts.
The following table summarizes the Junior Subordinated Debentures and the common and trust preferred securities issued by each affiliated trust at September 30, 2011. The Company has the right to redeem the Junior Subordinated Debentures at the redemption price specified in the associated Indenture, plus accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date.

NBN Capital Trust II and NBN Capital Trust III pay a variable rate based on three month LIBOR plus 2.80%, and NBN Capital Trust IV pays a variable rate based on three month LIBOR plus 1.89%. Accordingly, the trust preferred securities of the trusts currently pay quarterly distributions at an annual rate of 3.17% for the stated liquidation amount of $1,000 per preferred security for NBN Capital Trust II and NBN Capital Trust III and an annual rate of 2.19% for the stated liquidation amount of $1,000 per preferred security for NBN Capital Trust IV. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the obligations of each trust. The guaranty covers the quarterly distributions and payments on liquidation or redemption of the trust preferred securities, but only to the extent of funds held by the trusts. Based on the current contractual rates and the impact of the interest rate swap referred to below, the annual interest expense on the trust preferred securities is approximately $680 thousand.
In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 , the Company purchased two interest rate caps and an interest rate swap to hedge the interest rate risk on notional amounts of $3 million, $3 million and $10 million, respectively, of the Junior Subordinated Debentures. Each was a cash flow hedge to manage the risk to net interest income during a period of rising rates.
The notional amount of $3 million for each interest rate cap represents the outstanding junior subordinated debt from each trust. The strike rate is 2.505%. The Company will recognize higher interest expense on the Junior Subordinated Debentures for the first 200 basis points increase in three-month LIBOR. Once three-month LIBOR rate exceeds 2.505% on a quarterly reset date, there will be a payment by the counterparty to the Company at the following quarter end. The effective date of the purchased interest rate caps was September 30, 2009 and the caps mature in five years.
14
The interest rate swap hedges Junior Subordinated Debentures resulting from the issuance of trust preferred stock by the Companys affiliate NBN Capital Trust IV. The notional amount of $10 million represents the outstanding Junior Subordinated Debentures from this trust. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, Northeast pays a fixed rate of 4.69% quarterly for a period of five years from the effective date of February 23, 2010. We receive quarterly interest payments of three month LIBOR plus 1.89% over the same term.

Management of the Company, in addition to considering current trends and economic conditions that may affect the quality of individual securities within the Companys investment portfolio, considers the Companys ability and intent to hold such securities to maturity or recovery of cost. Management does not believe any of the Companys available-for-sale securities were other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2011.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. The investment securities portfolio is generally evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment under ASC 320-10, Investments Debt and Equity Securities.
For those debt securities for which the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost, the Company does not intend to sell such security, and because it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell such security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis less any credit losses, ASC 320-10 requires that the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment losses be recognized in earnings while the noncredit component is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of related taxes.
There were no other-than-temporary impairment losses on securities for the three months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010.
The amortized cost and fair values of available-for-sale debt securities at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

These structured repurchased agreements incorporate embedded interest rate caps as summarized in the table above. The interest rate caps reduced the Companys balance sheet exposure to rising interest rates. For the structured repurchase agreements maturing July 3, 2013 and September 23, 2015, each agreement can be called quarterly after the expiration of the non-call period. The transaction in March 2009, which did not have embedded interest rate caps or floors, allowed the Company to extend its funding at a favorable interest rate. The issuer has no call option unless the Company no longer maintains regulatory well-capitalized status or is subject to a regulatory cease and desist order. Interest is paid quarterly. The interest rates are fixed for the term of these agreements.
The Company is subject to margin calls on each transaction to maintain the necessary collateral in the form of cash or mortgage-backed securities during the borrowing term.
17
Payments would be received on the interest rate caps when three-month LIBOR exceeds the strike rate on the quarterly reset date. The amount of the payment would be equal to the difference between the strike rate and three-month LIBOR multiplied by the notional amount of the cap to be made 90 days after the reset date. The purchased interest rate caps expire at the end of the non-call periods noted above.
The collateral pledged for these borrowings consists of Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and Government National Mortgage Association issued mortgage-backed securities with a fair value of $75.0 million and cash of $3.4 million as of September 30, 2011.

9. | Capital Lease |
In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Company recognized a capital lease obligation for its new headquarters known as the Southern Gateway building located at 500 Canal Street, Lewiston, Maine. The present value of the lease payments over fifteen years ($264 thousand per year for each of the initial ten years of the lease term and $306 thousand per year for each of the last five years) exceeded 90% of the fair value of the Southern Gateway building. The Banks commercial lending and underwriting, consumer loan underwriting, loan servicing, deposit operations, accounting, human resources, risk management, and executive administration departments occupy the approximately 27 thousand square feet of space.

10. Discontinued Operations
On August 31, 2011, the Company sold customer lists and certain fixed assets of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Northeast Bank Insurance Group, Inc (NBIG) to local insurance agencies in two separate transactions. The Varney Agency, Inc. of Bangor, Maine acquired nine agency locations including Anson, Auburn, Augusta, Bethel, Livermore Falls, Scarborough, South Paris, Thomaston and Turner, Maine. The Berwick, Maine agency office which will operate under the name of Spence & Matthews was acquired by Bradley Scott, a member of NBIGs senior management team. The sale gain, net of income taxes, combined with the elimination of customer list and non-compete intangibles increased tangible equity by approximately $8.4 million. The following is a summary of the sale transaction:

11. | Earnings Per Share (EPS) |
EPS is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding. The following table shows the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the periods indicated. Shares issuable relative to stock options granted have been reflected as an increase in the shares outstanding used to calculate diluted EPS, after applying the treasury stock method. The number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS is presented as follows:

12. | Fair Value Measurements |
In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, the Company groups its assets and 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 and other U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise 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 instruments 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 Companys financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011.
The Companys exchange traded equity securities 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.
The Companys investment in municipal, corporate and agency bonds and mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale is generally classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For these securities, we obtain 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 instruments terms and conditions.
20
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, managements best estimate is used. Subsequent to initial valuation, management only changes Level 3 inputs and assumptions when 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 indicates that initial valuation needs to be updated.
The Company did not have any transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended September 30, 2011.
The following summarizes assets measured at fair value for the period ended September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011.

Assets Measured At Fair Value On A Nonrecurring Basis
The Companys impaired loans and acquired assets 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 input, collateral values are based on managements estimates pending appraisals from third party valuation services or imminent sale of collateral.

The Companys derivative financial instruments are generally classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For these financial instruments the Company obtains fair value measurements from independent pricing services. The fair value measurements utilize a discounted cash flow model that incorporates and considers observable data that may include publicly available third party market quotes, in developing the curve utilized for discounting future cash flows.
Fair Value Estimates
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The fair value of cash, due from banks, interest bearing deposits and FHLB overnight deposits approximates their relative book values, as these financial instruments have short maturities.
Available-for-sale Securities - The fair value of available-for-sale securities is estimated based on bid prices published in financial newspapers or bid quotations received from securities dealers.
FHLB and Federal Reserve Stock - The carrying value of FHLB stock and Federal Reserve stock approximates fair value based on redemption provisions of the FHLB and the Federal Reserve.
Loans and Loans held-for-sale - Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. The estimates of maturity are based on the Companys historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic conditions, lending conditions and the effects of estimated prepayments.
22
Fair value for significant nonperforming loans is based on estimated cash flows and is discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows and discount rates are developed using available market information and historical information.
Management has made estimates of fair value using discount rates that it believes to be reasonable. However, because there is no market for many of these financial instruments, management has no basis to determine whether the fair value presented would be indicative of the value negotiated in an actual sale.
The fair value of loans held-for-sale is estimated based on bid quotations received from loan dealers.
Interest Receivable - The fair value of this financial instrument approximates the book value as this financial instrument has a short maturity. It is the Companys policy to stop accruing interest on loans past due by more than ninety days. Therefore, this financial instrument has been adjusted for estimated credit loss.
Derivative financial instruments: Fair value for interest rate caps and interest rate swap agreements are based upon the amounts required to settle the contracts.
Deposits - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW accounts and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair values of time deposits are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows.
The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
The fair value estimates do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market. If that value was considered, the fair value of the Companys net assets could increase.
Borrowings - The fair value of the Companys borrowings with the FHLB is estimated by discounting the cash flows through maturity or the next repricing date based on current rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar maturities. The fair value of the Companys short-term borrowings, capital lease obligations, structured repurchase agreements and other borrowings is estimated by discounting the cash flows through maturity based on current rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar maturities.
Junior Subordinated Debentures - The fair value of the Junior Subordinated Debentures is estimated based on current interest rates.
Due-to-Broker - The fair value of due-to-broker approximates carrying value due to their short term nature.
Commitments to Originate Loans - The Company has not estimated the fair value of commitments to originate loans due to their short term nature and their relative immateriality.
Limitations - Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These values do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Companys entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Companys financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Other significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments include the deferred tax asset, premises and equipment and intangible assets, including the customer base. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.

13. | Derivatives |
The Company has stand alone derivative financial instruments in the form of interest rate caps which derive their value from a fee paid and are adjusted to fair value based on index and strike rate, and a swap agreement which derives its value from the underlying interest rate. These transactions involve both credit and market risk. The notional amounts are amounts on which calculations, payments and the value of the derivative are based. Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures. Direct credit exposure is limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any. Such differences, which represent the fair value of the derivative instruments, are reflected on the Companys balance sheet as derivative assets and derivative liabilities.
The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to these agreements. The Company controls the credit risk of its financial contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures, and does not expect any counterparties to fail their obligations. The Company deals only with primary dealers.
Derivative instruments are generally negotiated over-the-counter contracts. Negotiated over-the-counter derivative contracts are generally entered into between two counterparties that negotiate specific agreement terms, including the underlying instrument, amount, exercise prices and maturity.
Risk Management Policies Hedging Instruments
The Company evaluates the effectiveness of entering into any derivative instrument agreement by measuring the cost of such an agreement in relation to the reduction in net income volatility within an assumed range of interest rates.
Interest Rate Risk Management Cash Flow Hedging Instruments
The Company uses long-term variable rate debt as a source of funds for use in the Companys lending and investment activities and other general business purposes. These debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, interest expense increases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest expense decreases. Management believes it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments and, therefore, generally hedges a portion of its variable-rate interest payments. To meet this objective, management enters into interest rate caps whereby the Company receives variable interest payments above a specified interest rate and swap agreements whereby the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments during the contract period.
At September 30, 2011, the information pertaining to outstanding interest rate caps and swap agreements used to hedge variable rate debt is as follows:

The Company purchased two interest rate caps for $325 thousand which expire on September 30, 2014. The swap agreement provides for the Company to receive payments at a variable rate determined by a specified index (three month LIBOR) in exchange for making payments at a fixed rate.
During the three months ended September 30, 2011, no interest rate cap or swap agreements were terminated prior to maturity. At September 30, 2011, the unrealized loss relating to interest rate caps and swaps was recorded in derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Changes in the fair value of interest rate caps and swaps designated as hedging instruments of the variability of cash flows associated with long-term debt are reported in other comprehensive income. These amounts subsequently are reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on the long-term debt affects earnings. None of the other comprehensive income was reclassified into interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Risk management results for the three months ended September 30, 2011 related to the balance sheet hedging of long-term debt indicates that the hedges were 100% effective and that there was no component of the derivative instruments gain or loss which was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
As of September 30, 2011, none of the losses reported in other comprehensive income related to the interest rate caps and swap agreements are expected to be reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment of the hedged borrowings during the three-months ended September 30, 2011.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, A Creditors 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 TDR. 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 adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial condition and 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. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.
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
25
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. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, notes and tables included in Northeasts Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A Note about Forward Looking Statements
This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, such as statements relating to our financial condition, prospective results of operations, future performance or expectations, plans, objectives, prospects, loan loss allowance adequacy, simulation of changes in interest rates, capital spending and finance sources, and revenue sources. These statements relate to expectations concerning matters that are not historical facts. Accordingly, statements that are based on managements projections, estimates, assumptions, and judgments constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, which are based on various assumptions (some of which are beyond the Companys control), may be identified by reference to a future period or periods, or by the use of forward-looking terminology such as believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, continue, plan, approximately, intend, objective, goal, project, or other similar terms or variations on those terms, or the future or conditional verbs such as will, may, should, could, and would. In addition, the Company may from time to time make such oral or written forward-looking statements in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including exhibits thereto), in its reports to shareholders, and in other communications made by or with the Companys approval.
Such forward-looking statements reflect our current views and expectations based largely on information currently available to our management, and on our current expectations, assumptions, plans, estimates, judgments, and projections about our business and our industry, and they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable estimates and assumptions, they are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies, and other factors. Accordingly, the Company cannot give you any assurance that our expectations will, in fact, occur or that our estimates or assumptions will be correct.

Financial Statement Presentation
On December 29, 2010, FHB Formation LLC (FHB) merged with and into Northeast, with Northeast as the surviving company (the Merger). FHB is the entity through which a group of independent accredited investors (the Investors) purchased 937,933 shares of the Companys outstanding common stock and 1,161,166 shares of newly-issued voting and non-voting common stock, at a price equal to $13.93 per share. As a result of this transaction, $16.2 million of new capital was contributed to the Company, and the Investors collectively own approximately 60% of the outstanding common shares of the Company. We have applied the acquisition method of accounting, as described in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations, to this transaction, which represents an acquisition by FHB of Northeast, with Northeast as the surviving company.
As a result of application of the acquisition method of accounting to the Companys balance sheet, the Companys financial statements from the periods prior to the transaction date are not directly comparable to the financial statements for periods subsequent to the transaction date. To make this distinction, we have labeled balances and results of operations prior to the transaction date as Predecessor Company and balances and results of operations for periods subsequent to the transaction date as Successor Company. The lack of comparability arises from the assets and liabilities having new accounting bases as a result of recording them at their fair values as of the transaction date rather than at historical cost basis. To denote this lack of comparability, a heavy black line has been placed between the Successor Company and Predecessor Company columns in the Consolidated Financial Statements and in the tables in the notes to the statements and in this discussion.
Description of Operations and Business Strategy
Northeast Bancorp is a Maine corporation and a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The Company also is a registered Maine financial institution holding company. The Federal Reserve Bank is the primary regulator of the Company, and the Company is also subject to regulation and examination by the Superintendent of the Maine Bureau of Financial Institutions. We conduct business from our headquarters in Lewiston, Maine, and as of September 30, 2011, from 10 banking offices, one financial center and three loan production offices located in western and south-central Maine, one mortgage loan production offices in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and one business development office located in Boston Massachusetts. At September 30, 2011, we had consolidated assets of $587.2 million and consolidated stockholders equity of $66.2 million.
Northeast Bancorps principal asset is the capital stock of Northeast Bank (the Bank), a Maine state-chartered universal bank. Accordingly, the Companys results of operations are primarily dependent on the results of the operations of the Bank. In addition to the Banks ten branch offices, its investment brokerage division, Northeast Financial Services, offers investment, insurance and financial planning products and services from its main office in Falmouth, Maine, as well as through the Banks branch offices.
Northeast, through the Bank and third party affiliations, provides a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies in western and south-central Maine and southeastern New Hampshire. Our traditional community banking strategy consists of attracting deposits from the general public and applying those funds to originate or acquire residential mortgage loans, commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans and consumer loans. While lending is our primary investment activity, we also invest in mortgage-backed securities and securities issued by U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises, which serve as a source of liquidity for the Company. We also emphasize the generation of noninterest income through gains earned on the sale of residential mortgage loans in the secondary market, and by providing financial planning and investment brokerage services to customers.
On August 31, 2011, we sold the customer lists and certain other assets of the Bankss insurance agency subsidiary, Northeast Bank Insurance Group, Inc. (NEBIG) in two transactions to two Maine-based insurance agencies. NBIGs insurance agency office in Berwick was sold to Brad Scott, a former senior manager of NBIG and will operate under the name Spence & Matthews. The agency offices in Southern, Western and Central Maine were sold to the Varney Agency, Inc. of Bangor Maine. The aggregate sale price of these assets was $9.7 million, which after expenses and taxes had the effect of increasing the Companys tangible equity by approximately $8.4 million.
27
With the additional capital provided as a result of the Merger and the sale of NBIG assets, the Company is in the process of augmenting its traditional community banking strategy with two new business initiatives:
1. | A Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group, to purchase performing commercial business loans for portfolio and to service commercial business loans for third parties. In the last two quarters of Fiscal 2011 and the first quarter of the Fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, the Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group made significant investments in staffing and infrastructure to build its purchasing and servicing capabilities, and launched loan purchasing activities in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2011. |
2. | An Online Deposit Program, to provide a new source of core deposit funding for the Bank. This program is currently under development, and is expected to begin operation in the second half of Fiscal 2012. |
Overview
For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company earned net income of $529 thousand and net income available to common shareholders of $431 thousand or $0.12 per diluted share. The Companys net income for the period consisted of net income from discontinued operations of $1.1 million and a net loss from continuing operations of $594 thousand. Effective August 31, 2011, the Company sold the customer lists and certain fixed assets of its insurance agency business to local agencies in two separate transactions. The gross sales price of $9.7 million, net of related expenses, yielded a pre-tax gain of $1.5 million and served to increase the Companys tangible capital by approximately $8.4 million or $2.40 per share. Principally as a result of this transaction, the Companys tangible book value increased to $16.14 per share at September 30, 2011 from $13.58 per share at June 30, 2011.
Quarterly results for the three months ended September 30, 2011 also included a loss of $53 thousand on the sale of the Companys remaining equity securities portfolio. Excluding the effect of this non-recurring item, as well as the operations of the Companys insurance agency business and gain on sale, loss before income taxes for the quarter was approximately $944 thousand, a result that reflects up-front staffing and infrastructure costs related to the Companys new lending and deposit initiatives.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company earned net income of $961 thousand and net income available to common shareholders of $900 thousand or $0.38 per diluted share. The Companys net income for the period consisted of net income from discontinued operations of $77 thousand and net income from continuing operations of $884 thousand. As noted earlier, these operating results, which occurred prior to the Merger on December 29, 2010, are not directly comparable to results for financial periods subsequent to the Merger. This lack of comparability arises due to the application acquisition accounting for the Merger, which resulted in new accounting bases for assets and liabilities as a result of recording them at their fair values as of the Merger date rather than at historical cost.
Financial Condition
Overview
Total assets declined by $9.2 million or 1.5% to $587.2 million at September 30, 2011, compared to total assets of $596.4 million on June 30, 2011. The principal components of the change in the balance sheet during the fiscal 2012 first quarter were as follows:
1. | Loan growth of $7.7 million or 2.5%, lead by growth of $14.7 million in commercial loans purchased and originated by the Companys Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group. The Banks new Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group has purchased performing commercial business loans nationwide for the Banks portfolio. Such purchased commercial business loans are typically acquired at a discount from their outstanding principal balances, producing yields higher than those normally achievable on the Banks originated commercial business loans. The remainder of the Banks loan portfolio decreased by $7.0 million during the quarter, principally due to an increased level of mortgage refinance activity. During the quarter, most refinances of loans in the Banks existing portfolio were fixed rate loans, which the Bank sold in the secondary market. |
2. | An $11.7 million reduction in funding sources, consisting of a $7.4 million, or 1.8%, net decrease in deposits and a $4.3 million, or 3.4%, decrease in borrowed funds. The latter is primarily the result of repaying NBIG debt in connection with the insurance transaction; |
3. | A $9.9 million or 4.2% decrease in cash and securities, the net result of changes in loans, other assets and funding sources. Cash and securities, net of holdings pledged as collateral for borrowed funds, represent 25% of total assets at quarter-end, a level of balance sheet liquidity that is intended in part for future purchases of commercial loans. |
Assets
Cash, Short-term Investments and Securities
Cash and short-term investments were $79.8 million as of September 30, 2011, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 4.9%, from $83.9 million at June 30, 2011. Available for sale securities were $143.2 million as of September 30, 2011, a decrease of $5.7 million, or 3.9% from $149.0 million as of June 30, 2011. These decreases, which aggregate $9.9 million, were principally the result of decreases in deposits and borrowed funds, and increases in loans, offset in part by a decrease in other assets.
28
At September 30, 2011, our investment portfolio was comprised of U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise bonds and mortgage-backed securities. Most mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise bonds were pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLBB) as collateral for outstanding FHLBB advances, structured repurchase agreements and availability at the FHLBB for future borrowings.

Our entire securities portfolio was classified as available-for-sale at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, and carried at fair value on that date. Changes in market value, net of applicable income taxes, are reported as a separate component of stockholders equity. Gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized at the time of sale using the specific identification method. The amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2011 were $141.7 million and $143.2 million, respectively. The $1.5 million difference between fair value and cost of the securities is primarily attributable to an increase in the market value of mortgage-backed securities.
Loan Portfolio
Total loans, including loans held-for-sale, amounted to $322.8 million as of September 30, 2011, an increase of $7.7, or 2.5%, from $315.1 million as of June 30, 2011. Compared to June 30, 2011, loans held-for-sale increased $1.2 million, or 23.7%, commercial real estate loans increased $12.7 million, or 10.8%, residential real estate loans decreased $1.4 million, or 1.4% commercial business loans decreased $1.6 million, or 7.4%, and consumer loans decreased $3.2 million, or 4.4%. The increase in commercial real estate loans was driven by an increase of $14.7 million in commercial loans purchased or originated by the Companys Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group, offset in part by amortization and payoffs within the originated commercial real estate loan portfolio. The net reduction in residential real estate loans was the result of customer refinances into new fixed rate loans, which the Bank sells in the secondary mortgage market. The following table shows the composition of the loan portfolio excluding loans held for sale of $6.4 million and $5.2 million as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

We have continued to sell most of the residential real estate loans originated by us into the secondary market. Residential real estate loans originated in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 totaled $32.1 million and loans sold into the secondary market during that period totaled $27.3 million. Approximately 61% of total portfolio loans were variable rate products at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively.
Classification of Assets
Loans are classified as non-performing when 90 days past due, unless a loan is well-secured and in process of collection. Loans less than 90 days past due, for which collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful, are also designated as non-performing. In both situations, we cease accruing interest. The Bank had non-performing loans totaling $7.4 million, or 2.3% of total loans, at September 30, 2011 compared to $8.0 million, or 2.6% of total loans, at June 30, 2011. The following table shows the composition of the Banks non-performing loans at the dates indicated:

Of total non-performing loans at September 30, 2011, $2.9 million was current and paying, compared to $3.1 million at June 30, 2011, a decrease of $0.2 million, which represents loans that have been returned to full accrual status. The Bank typically maintains such loans as non-performing until the respective borrowers have demonstrated a sustained period of performance.
At September 30, 2011, the Company had acquired assets of $463 thousand, compared to $690 thousand at June 30, 2011, a decrease of $227 thousand, or 33%. Acquired assets were comprised of other real estate owned and other assets acquired, the latter consisting primarily of personal property securing consumer loans repossessed by the Bank. The real estate and personal property collateral for commercial and consumer loans is written down to its estimated realizable value upon transfer to acquired assets. Revenues and expenses are recognized in the period when received or incurred on other real estate and in substance foreclosures. Gains and losses on disposition are recognized in noninterest income.
Commercial real estate and commercial business loans are periodically evaluated under an eight-point risk rating system. These ratings are guidelines in assessing the risk of a particular loan. We had commercial real estate and commercial business loans totaling $9.2 million and $10.1 million at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively, classified as substandard or lower under our risk rating system. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in commercial customer relationships experiencing weaknesses in the underlying businesses. These loans were subject to our internal specific review for the risk of loss based on the liquidation of collateral, information that is included in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. At September 30, 2011, $4.0 million of this amount was non-performing commercial real estate and commercial business loans. The remaining $5.2 million of commercial real estate and commercial business loans classified as substandard at September 30, 2011 evidence one or more weaknesses or potential weaknesses and have the potential to become non-performing loans in future periods.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The Companys allowance for loan losses was $710 thousand as of September 30, 2011, which represents an increase of $273 thousand from the $437 thousand allowance as of June 30, 2011. In connection with the application of the acquisition method of accounting for the merger on December 29, 2010, the allowance for loan losses was set to zero when the loan portfolio was marked to its then current fair value. Since that date, the Company has been creating a new allowance, as new loans are booked or in the event that credit exposure in the pre-merger loan portfolio exceeds the exposure estimated when fair values were determined.
The allowance for loan losses represents managements estimate of this risk in the loan portfolio. This evaluation process is subject to numerous estimates and judgments. The frequency of default, risk ratings, and the loss recovery rates, among other things, are considered in making this evaluation, as are the size and diversity of individual large credits. Changes in these estimates could have a direct impact on the provision and could result in a change in the allowance. The larger the provision for loan losses, the greater the negative impact on our net income. Larger balance, commercial business and commercial real estate loans representing significant individual credit exposures are evaluated based upon the borrowers overall financial condition, resources, and payment record, the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors and, if appropriate, the realizable value of any collateral. The allowance for loan losses attributed to these loans is established through a process that includes estimates of historical and projected default rates and loss severities, internal risk ratings and geographic, industry and other environmental factors. Management also considers overall portfolio indicators, including trends in internally risk-rated loans, classified loans, nonaccrual loans and historical and projected charge-offs and a review of industry, geographic and portfolio concentrations, including current developments. In addition, management considers the current business strategy and credit process, including credit limit setting and compliance, credit approvals, loan underwriting criteria and loan workout procedures. Within the allowance for loan losses, amounts are specified for larger-balance, commercial business and commercial real estate loans that have been individually determined to be impaired. These specific reserves consider all available evidence including, as appropriate, the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loans contractual effective rate and the fair value of collateral. Each portfolio of smaller balance, residential real estate and consumer loans is collectively evaluated for impairment. The allowance for loan losses for these loans is established pursuant to a process that includes historical delinquency and credit loss experience, together with analyses that reflect current trends and conditions. Management also considers overall portfolio indicators, including historical credit losses, delinquent, non-performing and classified loans, trends in volumes, terms of loans, an evaluation of overall credit quality and the credit process, including lending policies and procedures and economic factors. For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we have not changed our approach in the determination of the allowance for loan losses. There have been no material changes in the assumptions or estimation techniques as compared to prior periods in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
The following table allocates the allowance for loan losses by loan category and the percent of loans in each category to total loans at the dates indicated below. The allowance for loan losses allocated to each category is not indicative of future losses and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in other categories.

While management believes that it uses the best information available to make its determinations with respect to the allowance, there can be no assurance that the Company will not have to increase its provision for loan losses in the future as a result of changing economic conditions, adverse markets for real estate or other factors. Please refer to Note 3 in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the report for additional information about the Companys asset classification methodology and its allowance for loan losses.
Other Assets
The cash surrender value of the Banks BOLI assets increased $127 thousand, or 1%, to $13.9 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $13.8 million at June 30, 2011. BOLI assets are invested in the general account of three insurance companies and in separate accounts of a fourth insurance company. A general account policys cash surrender value is supported by the general assets of the insurance company. A separate account policys cash surrender value is supported by assets segregated from the general assets of the insurance company. Standard and Poors rated these companies A+ or better at September 30, 2011. Interest earnings, net of mortality costs, increase the cash surrender value. These interest earnings are based on interest rates reset each year, and are subject to minimum guaranteed rates. These increases in cash surrender value are recognized in other income and are not subject to income taxes. Borrowing on or surrendering a policy may subject the Bank to income tax expense on the increase in cash surrender value. For these reasons, management considers BOLI an illiquid asset. BOLI represented 19.9% of the Companys total risk-based capital at September 30, 2011.
Intangible assets totaled $5.3 million and $13.1 million, respectively, at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011. The $7.8 million reduction during the quarter was the result of the sale of $7.4 million of intangible assets (principally customer lists) in connection with the insurance transaction on September 1, 2011, and core deposit intangible asset amortization of $405 thousand.
Deposits, Borrowed Funds, Capital Resources and Liquidity
Deposits
The Companys principal source of funding is its core deposit accounts. At September 30, 2011, non-maturity accounts and certificates of deposit with balances less than $250 thousand represented 95.5% of total deposits.
32
Total deposits of $393.7 million as of September 30, 2011 decreased, by 1.8% or $7.4 million, from $401.1 million as of June 30, 2011. The decrease was the result of decreases in non-maturity accounts aggregating $9.0 million, offset in part by growth in certificates of deposit of $1.6 million. The reduction in non-maturity accounts is due principally to the Banks decision to exit the trust business during the quarter, and the earlier discontinuation of our sweep account product. In connection with the latter, approximately $5.3 million of sweep account balances had shifted to demand deposits as of June 30, 2011, funds that were subsequently withdrawn during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Borrowed Funds
Advances from the FHLB were $43.8 million and $43.9 million as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively. At September 30, 2011, we had pledged U.S. government agency and mortgage-backed securities of $68.2 million as collateral for FHLB advances. In addition to U.S. government agency and mortgage-backed securities, pledges of residential real estate loans, certain commercial real estate loans and certain FHLB deposits free of liens or pledges were required to secure FHLB advances.
Structured repurchase agreements were $67.5 million and $68.0 million at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively. We had pledged $75.0 million of mortgage-backed securities and cash as collateral for those borrowings at September 30, 2011. One of the six structured repurchase agreements has embedded purchased interest rate caps to reduce the risk to net interest income in periods of rising interest rates.
Short-term borrowings, consisting of sweep accounts, were $1.0 million as of September 30, 2011, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 60.0%, from $2.5 million as of June 30, 2011. The decrease is attributable to the discontinuation of the sweep account product. At September 30, 2011, sweep accounts were secured by $2.5 million of letters of credit issued by the FHLB.

Retail deposits and other core deposit sources including deposit listing services are used by the Bank to manage its overall liquidity position. While we currently do not seek wholesale funding such as FHLB advances and brokered deposits, the ability to raise them remains an important part of our liquidity contingency planning. While we closely monitor and forecast our liquidity position, it is affected by asset growth, deposit withdrawals and other contractual obligations and commitments. The accuracy of our forecast assumptions may increase or decrease our overall available liquidity. To utilize the FHLB advance capacity, the purchase of an additional $2.4 million in FHLB stock would be required. At September 30, 2011, our banking subsidiary had $234.3 million of immediately accessible liquidity, defined as cash that could be raised within 7 days through collateralized borrowings, brokered deposits or security sales. This position represented 40% of total assets.
Management believes that there are adequate funding sources to meet its liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. Primary among these funding sources are the repayment of principal and interest on loans, the renewal of time deposits, the potential growth in the deposit base,
33
and the credit availability from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Borrower-in-Custody programdescribed above under Borrowed Funds. Management does not believe that the terms and conditions that will be present at the renewal of these funding sources will significantly impact the Companys operations, due to its management of the maturities of its assets and liabilities.
Capital
The following table summarizes the outstanding junior subordinated notes as of September 30, 2011. This debt represents qualifying tier 1 capital for the Company, up to a maximum of 25% of total tier 1 capital. At September 30, 2011, 100% of the carrying balance of the junior subordinated notes qualified as tier 1 capital:

The annual interest expense, including the interest rate swap, on these notes is approximately $680,000 based on the current interest rates.
The Company paid $325 thousand to purchase two interest rate caps to hedge the risk of rising interest rates over the next five years for junior subordinated notes related to NBN Capital Trust II and NBN Capital Trust III. The $6 million notional value of the purchased caps covers the portion of the outstanding balance not owned by the Company. Each junior subordinated note has an adjustable interest rate indexed to three month LIBOR. The purchased caps three month LIBOR strike rate was 2.505%.
Please refer to Note 4 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information on NBN Capital Trust II, NBN Capital Trust III and NBN Capital Trust IV and the related junior subordinated debt.
Under the terms of the U. S. Department of the Treasurys Capital Purchase Program, in which the Company participates, the Company must have the consent of Treasury to redeem, purchase, or acquire any shares of our common stock or other equity or capital securities, other than in connection with benefit plans consistent with past practice and certain other circumstances specified in the purchase agreement entered into by Treasury and the Company.
Total stockholders equity was $66.2 million and $65.0 million at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011. The change reflects net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, dividends paid on our common and preferred stock during the quarter, and the change in the net unrealized gain on securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Book value per outstanding share was $17.66 at September 30, 2011 and $17.33 at June 30, 2011. Tangible book value per outstanding share was $16.14 at September 30, 2011 and $13.58 at June 30, 2011. The $2.56 per share increase in tangible book value during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was due principally to the sale of the Companys insurance agency business on August 1, 2011, which increased tangible equity by approximately $8.4 million or $2.40 per share. Tier 1 capital to total average assets of the Company was 11.85% as of September 30, 2011 and 10.35% at June 30, 2011.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) contains various provisions intended to capitalize the Deposit Insurance Fund and also affects a number of regulatory reforms that impact all insured depository institutions, regardless of the insurance fund in which they participate. Among other things, FDICIA grants the Federal Reserve broader regulatory authority to take prompt corrective action against insured institutions that do not meet these capital requirements, including placing undercapitalized institutions into conservatorship or receivership. FDICIA also grants the Federal Reserve broader regulatory authority to take corrective action against insured institutions that are otherwise operating in an unsafe and unsound manner.
FDICIA defines specific capital categories based on an institutions capital ratios. To be considered adequately capitalized or better, regulations require a minimum Tier 1 capital equal to 4.0% of adjusted total average assets, Tier 1 risk-based capital of 4.0% and a total risk-based capital standard of 8.0%. The prompt corrective action regulations define specific capital categories based on an institutions capital ratios. The capital categories, in declining order are well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. Further, the Bank and Northeast is subject to capital commitments with the Federal Reserve that require higher minimum capital ratios, as discussed in Note 2 in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Statements. As of September 30, 2011, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve categorized the Bank as well capitalized.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Companys involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Companys exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. To control the credit risk associated with entering into commitments and issuing letters of credit, the Company uses the same credit quality, collateral policies and monitoring controls in making commitments and letters of credit as it does with its lending activities. The Company evaluates each customers 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 managements credit evaluation.
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. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.
Unused lines of credit and commitments to extend credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate.

Management believes that the Company has adequate resources to fund all of its commitments.
The Bank has written options limited to those residential real estate loans designated for sale in the secondary market and subject to a rate lock. These rate-locked loan commitments are used for trading activities, not as a hedge. The fair value of the outstanding written options at September 30, 2011 was negligible.
Results of Operations
General
As discussed earlier, the results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 (successor period) are not directly comparable to the quarter ended September 30, 2010 (predecessor period), due to the application of acquisition accounting in connection with the Merger on December 29, 2010. Nonetheless, in the discussion that follows we will compare, to the extent we believe appropriate and useful, results for the two quarters. While interest income and interest expense in the successor period have been significantly affected by Merger-related fair value adjustments, and are therefore difficult to compare to the predecessor period, most non-interest income and expense items were not affected by fair value adjustments, and are therefore more directly comparable.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company earned net income of $529 thousand and net income available to common shareholders of $431 thousand or $0.12 per diluted share. The Companys net income for period consisted of net income from discontinued operations of $1.1 million and a net loss from continuing operations of $594 thousand. During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company sold the customer lists and certain fixed assets of its insurance agency business for $9.7 million, yielding a pre-tax gain of $1.5 million. Accordingly, the results of the Companys insurance division have been reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company earned net income of $961 thousand and net income available to common shareholders of $900 thousand or $0.38 per diluted share. The Companys net income for the period consisted of net income from discontinued operations of $77 thousand and net income from continuing operations of $884 thousand.
Including the results of discontinued operations, the return on average equity was 3.20% for three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 7.40% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The return on average assets was 0.36% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 0.61% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.
36
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 includes amortization of the fair value adjustments to certain interest-bearing assets and liabilities recorded in connection with the Merger on December 29, 2010. This amortization accounts primarily for the change in loan yields and in time deposit and borrowed funds rates appearing in the yield/rate tables that follow, when contrasting current period results with those of the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was essentially unchanged, at $4.3 million, when compared to the same period in 2010. Interest income decreased by $1.6 million compared to the prior year period, primarily as a result of a change in earning asset mix, a significant reduction in the yield on securities, and balance sheet shrinkage, which resulted in a $39.6 million reduction in average earning assets. The effect of these factors was offset in part by the positive effect of the accretion of fair value adjustments on loans, recorded in connection with the Merger. Compared to the prior year quarter, average loans and securities declined by $73.1 million and $15.7 million, respectively, offset in part by a $49.0 million increase in low-yielding short-term investments. This reduction in assets was undertaken, in part, to increase the Companys Tier 1 leverage ratio to greater than 10%, in connection with the Merger. The relatively high level of short-term liquidity on the balance sheet in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 reflects the Companys intention to increase purchases of commercial loans by the Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group in the near term. The reduction in the yield on the securities portfolio (4.18% in the prior year period, 1.72% in the current quarter) reflects sales within the portfolio over the past nine months, recognition of gains and the repurchase of securities with shorter average lives and lower yields. The effect of these changes was offset in part by $355 thousand in accretion of fair value discount on loans recorded during the quarter. Overall, the yield on earning assets decreased by 0.83% when contrasted with the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Interest expense decreased by $1.5 million compared to the prior year period, driven by a $57.1 million reduction in the average balances of interest-bearing liabilities and a 1.01% decrease in the average cost of funding. Funding costs were lower in part due to declines in market rates, which accounts for decreases in the cost of the Companys non-maturity accounts, which declined in the aggregate by 0.33% when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The cost of time deposits and borrowed funds also decreased significantly, in part due to $915 thousand of accretion of fair value adjustments ($372 thousand for time deposits, $543 thousand for borrowed funds) during the quarter. In sum, despite the unfavorable change in asset mix, the reduction in balance sheet size, and the reduction in securities yield, the net positive accretion of fair value adjustments resulting from acquisition accounting in connection with the merger transaction allowed the net interest margin to increase to 3.09% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 from 2.92% for the comparable period in Fiscal 2010.

(2) | Predecessor Company means Northeast Bancorp and its subsidiary before the closing of the merger with FHB Formation LLC on December 29, 2010. |
(3) | Yields are stated on a fully tax-equivalent basis using a 30.84% tax rate. |
(4) | Non-accruing loans are included in the computation of average balances, but unpaid interest on nonperforming loans has not been included for purposes of determining interest income. |
(5) | Includes Loans Held-for-Sale. |
(6) | Short term investments include FHLB overnight deposits and other interest-bearing deposits. |
(7) | Short-term borrowings include securities sold under repurchase agreements and sweep accounts. |
(8) | Interest expense on borrowed funds includes $14 thousand and $39 thousand reported in discontinued operations in the Companys consolidated statements of income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. |
(9) | The net yield on interest-earning assets is net interest income divided by total interest-earning assets. |
Rate and volume variance analyses allocate the change in interest income and expense between the portion which is due to change in the rate earned or paid for specific categories of assets and liabilities and the portion which is due to changes in the average balance between the two periods. However, in our judgment, the successor and predecessor quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are not comparable due to the significant effect of acquisition accounting adjustments, and therefore no rate/volume variance analysis is provided for those periods.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $400 thousand, a decrease of $59 thousand, or 12.9%, compared to $459 thousand recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The provision for loan losses for the current quarter reflects the fact that loans outstanding at the date of the Merger were marked to their then fair values, and the allowance for loan losses on that date was eliminated in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. As such, the provision for loan losses was recorded based on estimates of inherent loss in the $23.5 million of new loans originated post-Merger, and for incremental reserves required for pre-Merger loans based on estimates of deteriorated credit quality post-Merger.
For the three months ended September 30, 2010, factors considered in recording the provision of $459 thousand included the following: the decrease in net loans during the three months ended September 30, 2010; that net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were virtually flat compared to the same period in 2009; the increase in net charge-offs of $145 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2010; a decrease in loan delinquency to 2.75% at September 30, 2010 compared to 2.84% at June 30, 2010 and 3.71% at September 30, 2009; an increase of $157 thousand in non-performing loans at September 30, 2010 compared to June 30, 2010; and the slight decrease in internally classified and criticized loans at September 30, 2010 compared to June 30, 2010.
The allowance as a percentage of outstanding loans was 0.22% at September 30, 2011, compared to 0.14% at June 30, 2011 and to 1.55% at September 30, 2010. See Financial Condition above and Note 3 in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for a discussion of the allowance for loan losses and additional information on the factors affecting the provision for loan losses.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $1.8 million, which was 14.3% or $297 thousand lower than the quarter ended September 30, 2010. This difference is due principally to a lower level of gains on sales of mortgage loans ($292 thousand), offset in part by an increase of $139 thousand in investment commissions. Gains realized on sales of mortgage loans depend in part on the market for loan refinance activity, a market that was stronger in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 than in the current quarter. Also during the period, the Company realized a net securities loss of $53 thousand on the sale of the Companys remaining equity securities portfolio.
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense increased by $1.9 million to $6.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, compared to $4.7 million incurred for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. This increase consists of the following components of significance: an $1.3 million thousand increase in compensation costs, the result of the addition of staff necessary to build out and launch the Companys two new business initiatives, the Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group and the Affinity Online Deposit Program; a $336 thousand increase in intangible assets amortization, the result of acquisition accounting for the Merger; a $187 thousand increase in professional fees, principally comprised of staff recruiting and legal expenses associated with year-end financial and regulatory reporting requirements; a $171 thousand increase in occupancy and equipment expense, primarily associated with the cost of the Companys Boston office, which houses most of the staff added since the Merger.
Discontinued Operations
The pre-tax gain on the sale of insurance assets (principally customer lists) was $1.5 million, an amount that is net of all expenses incurred in the transaction. Pre-tax income associated with discontinued operations totaled $186 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $68 thousand in comparison to the prior year period. The increase resulted principally from fewer full time employees, and therefore lower compensation costs, during the quarter ended September 30, 2011. See note 10 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on discontinued operations.
Income Taxes
Including the results of discontinued operations, the effective tax rate was 26.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, which reflects the non-taxability of BOLI income of $127 thousand. Including the results of discontinued operations, the effective tax rate was 30.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, which reflects the non-deductibility of $72 thousand of merger expense, and the non-taxability of interest on municipal securities ($118 thousand) and BOLI income ($127 thousand).
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk |
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding timely disclosure. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost/benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Our management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Based on this evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011.
In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was enacted. Among other things, the Act exempted non-accelerated filers, such as the Company, from the requirements of the Sarbanes Oxley Act Section 404(b) (external auditors attestation of internal controls and financial reporting).
There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the first quarter of our 2012 fiscal year that has materially affected, or in other factors that could affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.
