Note 8:    Borrowings


 Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings


The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLB"). The Company has the ability to borrow from the FHLB based on a certain percentage of the value of the Company’s qualified collateral, as defined in the FHLB Statement of Products Policy, comprised mainly of mortgage-backed securities and loans segregated as collateral for the FHLB.


At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, outstanding advances from the FHLB aggregated $134.9 million and $132.0 million respectively. The advances outstanding at March 31, 2016 had maturities ranging from six days to fifty-nine months with rates ranging from 2 basis points to 47 basis points. The FHLB borrowings collateral is a mixture of real estate loans and securities with a book value of $213.2 million.


Junior subordinated debt owed to unconsolidated trust


The subordinated debentures of $8.2 million are unsecured obligations of the Company and are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness of the Company. These obligations qualify as Tier 1 capital. The subordinated debentures, which bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 3.15% (3.78% at March 31, 2016), mature on March 26, 2033. Beginning in the second quarter of 2009, the Company deferred quarterly interest payments on the subordinated debentures for 20 consecutive quarters as permitted under the terms of the debentures. Interest is still being accrued and charged to operations. The Company made a payment of approximately $1.6 million in June 2014, and brought the debt current as of that date. Interest payments have subsequently been deferred at the Company’s option, however, interest expense continued to be recorded. At March 31, 2016 interest owed for the subordinated debt was $510,000. 


Note Payable


In September 2015, the Company executed a $2.0 million Note Payable for the purchase of its Fairfield, CT branch, which had formerly been leased by the Company. The note has a ten-year term and bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.75%. The Company makes interest and principal payments monthly. The note is secured by a first Mortgage Deed and Security Agreement on the property purchased.
