Overview
Our profitability is highly dependent on our net interest income, which is the difference between our interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and our interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowed funds. Our net income decreased$177,000 , or 16.2%, to$913,000 , or$0.13 per basic and diluted share for the three months endedDecember 31, 2019 , compared to net income of$1.1 million , or$0.15 per basic and diluted share for the three months endedDecember 31, 2018 . This was due primarily to merger related expenses of$491,000 for the three months endedDecember 31, 2019 . Net interest income remained unchanged at$3.7 million for the three months endedDecember 31, 2019 andDecember 31, 2018 while non-interest income decreased$66,000 , or 9.0% to$669,000 , for the three months endedDecember 31, 2019 from$735,000 for the three months endedDecember 31, 2018 . Non-interest expense increased$142,000 , or 4.5% to$3.3 million for the three months endedDecember 31, 2019 from$3.2 million for the three months endedDecember 31, 2018 . Income tax expense decreased$34,000 , or 16.3% to$174,000 for the three months endedDecember 31, 2019 from$208,000 for the three months endedDecember 31, 2018 . The effective tax rate was 16.0% for the three months endedDecember 31, 2019 and 16.1% for the three months endedDecember 31, 2018 . Our net income decreased$612,000 , or 24.7%, to$1.9 million , or$0.26 per basic and diluted share for the six months endedDecember 31, 2019 , compared to net income of$2.5 million , or$0.34 per basic and diluted share for the six months endedDecember 31, 2018 . This was due primarily to an increase of$750,000 in the provision for loan losses. The Company recorded a credit for loan losses of$600,000 for the six months endedDecember 31, 2018 compared to a$150,000 provision for loan losses for the six months endedDecember 31, 2019 . Net interest income increased$141,000 , or 1.9% to$7.5 million for the six months endedDecember 31, 2019 from$7.4 million for the six months endedDecember 31, 2018 , while non-interest income remained unchanged at$1.4 million for the six months endedDecember 31, 2019 andDecember 31, 2018 . Non-interest expense increased$149,000 , or 2.3% to$6.5 million for the six months endedDecember 31, 2019 from$6.4 million for the six months endedDecember 31, 2018 . This included$491,000 in merger related expenses. Income tax expense decreased$147,000 , or 29.2% to$357,000 for the six months endedDecember 31, 2019 from$504,000 for the six months endedDecember 31, 2018 . The effective tax rate was 16.0% for the six months endedDecember 31, 2019 compared to 16.9% for the six months endedDecember 31, 2018 . An increase in interest rates will present us with a challenge in managing our interest rate risk. As a general matter, our interest-bearing liabilities reprice or mature more quickly than our interest-earning assets, which can result in interest expense increasing more rapidly than increases in interest income as interest rates increase. Therefore, increases in interest rates may adversely affect our net interest income, which in turn would likely have an adverse effect on our results of operations. As described in "Market Risk," we expect that our net interest income and our net portfolio value would decrease as a result of an instantaneous increase in interest rates. We use a variety of strategies to help manage interest rate risk, as described in "Market Risk". Unlike larger financial institutions that are more geographically diversified, our profitability depends primarily on the general economic conditions inEastern Connecticut and theRhode Island andMassachusetts communities adjacent toWindham County, Connecticut . Local economic conditions have a significant impact on our commercial real estate and construction and consumer loans, the ability of the borrowers to repay these loans and the value of the collateral securing these loans. In addition, changes in economic conditions could result in increased actual losses or increased losses inherent in our loan portfolio, either of which could require us to significantly increase the level of our
provision for loan losses. 30

This was primarily due to$491,000 in merger related expenses during the six months endedDecember 31, 2019 . This was offset by decreases in write-downs on other real estate owned of$91,000 andFDIC insurance expense of$74,000 . 34
Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased by$34,000 , or 16.3% to$174,000 for the three months endedDecember 31, 2019 from$208,000 for the three months endedDecember 31, 2018 . Our effective tax rate was 16.0% for the three months endedDecember 31, 2019 and 16.1% for the three months endedDecember 31, 2018 . Tax expense is based on a year-to-date basis at a forecasted effective rate. The effective tax rates differed from the statutory tax rate due to the dividends-received deduction applicable to certain securities in our investment portfolio, tax-exempt municipal income and non-taxable bank-owned life insurance income.
Income tax expense decreased by$147,000 , or 29.2% to$357,000 for the six months endedDecember 31, 2019 from$504,000 for the six months endedDecember 31, 2018 . Our effective tax rate was 16.0% for the six months endedDecember 31, 2019 compared to 16.9% for the six months endedDecember 31, 2018 . Tax expense is based on a year-to-date basis at a forecasted effective rate. The effective tax rates differed from the statutory tax rate due to the dividends-received deduction applicable to certain securities in our investment portfolio, tax-exempt municipal income and non-taxable bank-owned life insurance income. 35 Average Balances and Yields The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense. Yields and costs are annualized.

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

Market Risk, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Market Risk The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk ("IRR"). Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and other borrowings. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage IRR and reduce the exposure of our net interest income ("NII") to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, our Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee, which is responsible for evaluating the IRR inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. With the assistance of an IRR management consultant, the committee monitors the level of IRR on a regular basis and generally meets at least on a quarterly basis to review our asset/liability policies and IRR position. We have sought to manage our IRR in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. As part of our ongoing asset/liability management, we currently use the following strategies to manage our IRR: (i) using alternative funding sources, such as advances from theFederal Home Loan Bank of Boston , to "match fund" certain investments and/or loans; (ii) continued emphasis on increasing core deposits; (iii) offering adjustable rate and shorter-term home equity loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans and commercial and industrial loans; (iv) offering a variety of consumer loans, which typically have shorter-terms; and (v) investing in mortgage-backed securities with variable rates or fixed rates with shorter durations. Shortening the average maturity of our interest-earning assets by increasing our investments in shorter-term loans and securities, as well as loans and securities with variable rates of interest, helps to better match the maturities and interest rates of our assets and liabilities, thereby reducing the exposure of our NII to changes in market interest rates. Net interest income at-risk measures the risk of a decline in earnings due to potential short-term and long- term changes in interest rates. The table below represents an analysis of our IRR as measured by the estimated changes in NII, resulting from an instantaneous and sustained parallel shift in the yield curve (+100 and +200 basis points) atDecember 31, 2019 andJune 30, 2019 . Net Interest Income At-Risk Estimated Increase (Decrease) Estimated Increase (Decrease) Change in Interest Rates in NII in NII (Basis Points) December 31, 2019 June 30, 2019 +200 (0.80%) 0.90% +100 0.60% 1.60% -100 (3.60%) (4.30%) -200 (7.60%) (9.40%) Net Portfolio Value Simulation Analysis. We compute the amounts by which the net present value of our cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items (the institution's net portfolio value or "NPV") would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 200 basis points equals two percent, an increase in interest rates from 3% to 5% would mean, for example, a 200 basis point increase in the "Change in Interest Rates" column below. 40
The table below sets forth, atDecember 31, 2019 , the estimated changes in our net portfolio value that would result from the designated instantaneous changes inthe United States Treasury yield curve based on information produced by an external consultant.

(1) Assumes an instantaneous uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.
(2) NPV is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets,
liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts.
(3) Present value of assets represents the discounted present value of incoming
cash flows on interest-earning assets.
(4) NPV ratio represents NPV divided by the present value of assets.
The preceding analysis does not represent actual forecasts and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions, which are subject to change, including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels, the yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows, and others. Also, as market conditions vary, prepayment/refinancing levels will likely deviate from these assumed, the varying impact of interest rate changes on caps and floors embedded in adjustable rate loans, early withdrawal of deposits, changes in product preferences, and other internal/external variables. Liquidity The term liquidity refers to the ability of the Company and the Bank to meet current and future short-term financial obligations. The Company and the Bank further define liquidity as the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to fund loan originations, deposit withdrawals and operating expenses. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. The Bank's primary sources of liquidity are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal and mortgage-related securities, andFederal Home Loan Bank of Boston borrowings. The Bank can borrow funds from theFederal Home Loan Bank of Boston based on eligible collateral of loans and securities. The Bank hadFederal Home Loan Bank of Boston borrowings as ofDecember 31, 2019 of$52.6 million , with unused borrowing capacity of$45.7 million . The Bank has an internal limit of wholesale borrowings to total assets ratio of 30.0%. As ofDecember 31, 2019 , the ratio of wholesale borrowings to total assets was 12.3%. The Bank's primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities. During the six months endedDecember 31, 2019 , the Bank's net loan principal repayments were$8.8 million compared to net loan originations of$16.8 million for the six months endedDecember 31, 2018 . There were no security purchases during the six months endedDecember 31, 2019 and 2018. There were$2.0 million in loan purchases for the six months endedDecember 31, 2019 compared to no loan purchases for the six months endedDecember 31, 2018 . Loan repayments and maturing investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds. However, deposit flows, calls of investment securities and prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities are strongly influenced by interest rates, general and economic conditions and competition in the marketplace. These factors reduce the predictability of the timing of these sources of funds. Deposit flows are affected by the level of interest rates, by the interest rates and products offered by competitors and by other factors. The Bank monitors its liquidity position frequently and anticipates that it will have sufficient funds to meet its current funding commitments. 41 Certificates of deposit totaled$129.5 million atDecember 31, 2019 . The Bank relies on competitive rates, customer service and long-standing relationships with customers to retain deposits. Based on the Bank's experience with deposit retention and current retention strategies, management believes that, although it is not possible to predict with certainty future terms and conditions upon renewal, a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank. Federal banking regulations require a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%, a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6% and a minimum leverage ratio of 4% for all banking organizations. Additionally, community banking institutions must maintain a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital or Total capital in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets to avoid being subject to limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonuses. Due to our asset size, the Company is not subject to capital requirements. As ofDecember 31, 2019 , the most recent notification from theFederal Reserve Bank of Boston , categorized the Bank as "well-capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes would change our category. The following table shows the Bank's required minimum capital ratios in order to be considered well-capitalized and the actual capital ratios as ofDecember 31, 2019 andJune 30, 2019 .

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In addition to the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers' requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, lines of credit, and letters
of credit.
