Note 9: 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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, outstanding advances from the FHLB aggregated $128.0 million and $132.0 million respectively. The advances outstanding at June 30, 2016 had maturities ranging from one day to sixty months with rates ranging from 2.7 basis points to 57 basis points. The FHLB borrowings are collateralized by a mixture of real estate loans and securities with a book value of $131.3 million as of June 30, 2016.
 
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% (3.79% at June 30, 2016), mature on March 26, 2033. Beginning in the second quarter of 2009, the Company deferred quarterly interest payments on the subordinated debentures for twenty consecutive quarters as permitted under the terms of the debentures. The Company made a payment of approximately $1.6 million in June 2014, which brought the debt current as of that date. Interest payments since June 2014 have been deferred at the Company’s option, however interest expense continues to be accrued and charged to operations. At June 30, 2016, interest owed for the subordinated debt was $0.6 million. 
 
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.
