HYDE PARK BANCORP, MHC AND SUBISDIARY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)



NOTE 1 - PLAN OF CONVERSION

Hyde Park Bancorp, MHC adopted a plan of conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”) on March 6, 2014, as amended on May 5, 2014, pursuant to which Blue Hills Bank (the “Bank”) converted from the mutual holding company to the stock holding company form of organization on July 21, 2014. In connection with the conversion, the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of Blue Hills Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and the Company sold 27,772,500 shares of its common stock, representing the adjusted maximum of the offering range, at $10.00 per share, for gross offering proceeds of approximately $277,725,000, including the sale of 2,277,345 shares to the employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”). The purchase of common stock by the ESOP was financed by a loan from Blue Hills Funding Corporation, a subsidiary of the Company. Upon the completion of the conversion, Hyde Park Bancorp, MHC and the Bank’s former Massachusetts chartered mid-tier holding company, Hyde Park Bancorp, Inc., ceased to exist.
The direct costs of the Company’s stock offering are being deferred and deducted from the proceeds of the offering. At June 30, 2014, total deferred costs of $777,000 were included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Through June 30, 2014, the Company had incurred approximately $818,000 of incremental organizational conversion costs that were charged to operations and included in noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

In connection with the plan of conversion, the Company established the Blue Hills Bank Foundation (the “Foundation”). The Foundation was funded with $7.0 million, including 694,313 shares of the Company’s common stock and $57,000 in cash, which was recorded as an expense by the Company in July 2014. The Company anticipates the contribution will be deductible for federal income tax purposes.
At the time of conversion, the Company substantially restricted retained earnings by establishing a liquidation account and the Bank established a parallel liquidation account. The liquidation accounts are maintained for the benefit of eligible holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after the conversion. The liquidation accounts will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation accounts. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation accounts as described in the Plan of Conversion. Neither the Company nor the Bank may declare or pay a cash dividend on its common stock if such dividend would cause its regulatory capital to be reduced below the amount required to maintain its respective liquidation account.


NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hyde Park Bancorp, MHC and its wholly-owned subsidiary Hyde Park Bancorp, Inc. (the mid-tier “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary owns 100% of Blue Hills Bank. The Bank has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, HP Security Corporation and 1196 Corporation. HP Security Corporation is a Massachusetts security corporation and 1196 Corporation holds a restricted stock. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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 Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's filing on Form S-1 which included the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or any other interim period.

Reclassification
Certain amounts in the December 31, 2013 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current presentation.

Loan policies

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for the allowance for loan losses, charge-offs and any deferred fees and costs on originated and purchased loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Deferred loan origination fees/costs and discounts on purchased loans are recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.
It is the policy of the Company to discontinue the accrual of interest on loans past due in excess of 90 days, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection, or when in the judgment of management, the ultimate collectability of the principal or interest becomes doubtful and to reverse all interest previously accrued against interest income. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. The interest on non-accrual loans is accounted for on the cash-basis until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due have been current for six consecutive months and future payments are reasonably assured.
Allowance for loan losses
The allowance for loan losses is based on the size and the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency levels, loss experience, economic conditions and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio. Because 2013 and 2012 saw the growth in number and size of portfolios for which the Company had no prior loss experience, the loss experience extrapolated for all portfolios was derived from available national and state peer group losses for relevant portfolios generally over the years 2008-2013. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated regularly by management and reflects consideration of all significant factors that affect the collectability of the loan portfolio. The evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available; however, because of the increase in risk exposures new to the Company, it is the intention of management to maintain an allowance that is prudently commensurate with the growth in the loan portfolio.
The allowance consists of general, allocated and unallocated components, as further described below.
General component
The general component of the allowance for loan losses is based on either actual or extrapolated historical loss experience for periods ranging from three to five years, adjusted for qualitative and environmental factors including 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.
The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:
Residential real estate - The Company does not generally originate loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80 percent and does not generally grant loans that would be classified as subprime upon origination. When the Company does extend credit either on a first- or second-lien basis at a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80 percent, such loans are supported by either mortgage insurance or state guarantee programs. All loans in this segment are collateralized by owner-occupied 1-4 family residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The health of the regional economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality of loans in this segment.
Home equity - Loans in this segment are generally secured by 1st or 2nd liens on residential real estate. Repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The Company evaluates each loan application based on factors including the borrower’s credit score, income, length of employment, and other factors to establish the creditworthiness of the borrower. The Company purchased a geographically diverse portfolio of seasoned home equity lines of credit (HELOC) which are serviced by a third party. The rate of provision for this portfolio is slightly lower than that for the organically originated HELOC portfolio due to its seasoning, low loan-to-values, high credit scores, and first-lien collateral position.

10



Commercial real estate - Loans in this segment include investment real estate and are generally secured by assignments of leases, real estate collateral and guarantees from sponsors or owners. In cases where there is a concentration of exposure to a single large tenant, underwriting standards include analysis of the tenant’s ability to support lease payments over the duration of the loan. 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. Payments on loans secured by income-producing properties often depend on the successful operation and management of the properties. Management continually monitors the cash flows of these loans.
Construction - Loans in this segment primarily include speculative real estate development loans for which payment is derived from sale of the property. Credit risk is affected by cost overruns, time to sell at an adequate price, and market conditions.
Consumer - Loans in this segment primarily include used auto loans. A significant portion of the used auto loan portfolio is comprised of geographically diverse loans originated by and purchased from a third party, who also provides collection services. While this portfolio has generated minimal charge-offs, the provisions for loan losses reflect management’s estimate of inherent losses based on a review of regional and national historical losses of other institutions with similar portfolios
Commercial business - Loans in this segment are generally secured by business assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, real estate and intangible assets. Strict underwriting standards include considerations of the borrower’s ability to support the debt service requirements from the underlying historical and projected cash flows of the business, collateral values, the borrower’s credit history and the ultimate collectability of the debt. Economic conditions, real estate values, commodity prices, unemployment trends and other factors will affect the credit quality of loans in these segments.
Allocated component
The allocated component relates to loans that are on the watch list (non-accruing loans, partially charged-off non-accruing loans and accruing adversely-rated loans) and considered impaired. Impairment is measured by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s 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 than the carrying value of that loan.
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. Management reviews all loan types for individual impairment. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

The Company periodically may agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). All TDRs are initially classified as impaired and generally remain impaired for the remaining life of the loan. Impaired classification may be removed if the borrower demonstrates compliance with the modified terms and the restructuring agreement specifies an interest rate equal to that which would be provided to a borrower with similar credit at the time of restructuring.
Unallocated component
An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating allocated and general reserves in the portfolio.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION
On January 18, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Nantucket Bank (the "Nantucket Bank" acquisition), previously a division of Santander Bank, N.A., formerly Sovereign Bank, N.A. The acquisition included three branches and a commercial lending team in Nantucket that operate under the name Nantucket Bank, a division of Blue Hills Bank, at a purchase price of $10.3 million. The Bank assumed all of the deposits of Nantucket Bank, and acquired cash, selected local commercial loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, and real property. The goodwill resulting from the transaction is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. The Nantucket Bank acquisition assisted in the implementation of the Company's business strategy as it added a strong local market share of core deposits and reduced the Company's dependence on wholesale funding and brokered deposits to fund loan growth. The acquisition provided $151.6 million in cash, net of the purchase price, the majority of which has been used to pay down Federal Home Loan Bank advances and brokered deposits. The transaction also changed the interest rate sensitivity of the Bank through the addition of core deposits.
The Company accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method. Accordingly, the Company recorded merger and acquisition expenses of $149,000 and $947,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. There were no acquisition expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Additionally, the acquisition method requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition:

Fair value adjustments to assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally amortized using either an effective yield or straight-line basis over periods consistent with the average life, useful life and/or contractual term of the related assets and liabilities.
Fair values of the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined as follows:

12



Cash and Cash Equivalents
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents approximate the respective carrying amounts because the instruments are payable on demand or have short-term maturities.
Loans
The loans acquired were recorded at fair value without a carryover of the allowance for loan losses. Fair value of the loans is determined using market participant assumptions in estimating the amount and timing of both principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected, as adjusted for an estimate of future credit losses and prepayments, and then applying a market-based discount rate to those cash flows. The overall accretable discount on the loans acquired in this transaction was approximately $4.8 million primarily related to considerations for market interest rates, as well as estimated credit losses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 the Company recorded approximately $722,000 and $855,000, respectively, of interest income attributable to the accretion of the discount on these acquired loans since the acquisition date.
Core Deposit Intangible
The fair value of the core deposit intangible is derived by comparing the interest rate and servicing costs that the financial institution pays on the core deposit liability versus the current market rate for alternative sources of financing. The intangible asset represents the stable and relatively low cost source of funds that the deposits and accompanying relationships provide the Company, when compared to alternative funding sources. Amortization of the core deposit intangible of $509,000 and $862,000 was recorded during three and six month periods ending June 30, 2014.
Premises and Equipment
The fair value of Nantucket Bank premises, including land, buildings and improvements, was determined based upon appraisal from third party appraisers. The appraisals were based upon the best and highest use of the property with final values determined based upon an analysis of the cost, sales comparison and income capitalization approaches for each property appraised.
Deposits
The fair value of acquired savings and transaction deposit accounts was assumed to approximate the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits was determined based on the present value of the contractual cash flows over the remaining period to maturity using a market interest rate. The estimated fair value adjustment of the certificates of deposits amounted to $137,000. Accretion of certificates of deposit fair value adjustments of $57,000 and $114,000 was recorded during the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2014, respectively.

NOTE 4 – RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Subtopic 310-40 "Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors" Update No. 2014-04. Update No. 2014-04 was issued in January 2014 to reduce diversity in practice by clarifying when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The amendments in this update clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy the loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The amendments in the update should be applied prospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company continually reviews investment securities for the existence of other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI"), taking into consideration current market conditions, the extent and nature of changes in fair value, issuer rating changes and trends, the credit worthiness of the obligor of the security, volatility of earnings, current analysts’ evaluations, the Company’s intent to sell the security, or whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery, as well as other qualitative factors. The term “other-than-temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value is not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.
At June 30, 2014, multiple debt securities have unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of less than 1% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses were primarily caused by interest rate fluctuations. A significant portion of these investments are guaranteed by the U.S. Government or an agency thereof. It is expected that none of these securities would be settled at a price less than the par value of the investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not to credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2014.
 
At June 30, 2014, the Company had one mutual fund with unrealized losses of $5,000, or less than 1% depreciation from the Company’s cost basis. No issues have been identified that cause management to believe the declines in market value are other than temporary and the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value.

Credit Quality Information

22



The Company utilizes a ten-grade internal loan rating system for all loans as follows:
Loans rated 1 – 6 are considered “acceptable” rated loans that are performing as agreed, meet minimum underwriting standards, and require only routine supervision.
Loans rated 7 are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.
Loans rated 8 – 9 are considered “substandard.” Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged. There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected. Generally, all loans 90 days delinquent are rated 8.
Loans rated 10 are considered "doubtful" and have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.
The Company assigns a 6 risk-rating to otherwise performing, satisfactorily collateralized Consumer and Residential loans where the Bank becomes aware of deterioration in a FICO score or other indication of potential inability to service the debt. The Company assigns risk ratings of 7-10 to residential or consumer loans that have a well-defined weakness that may jeopardize the collection of the contractual principal and interest, are contractually past due 90 days or more or legal action has commenced against the borrower. All other residential mortgage and consumer loans have no risk rating.
On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial and construction loans. At least 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. In addition, management utilizes delinquency reports, the watch list and other loan reports to monitor credit quality of other loan segments.

NOTE 7 - INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS
The Company is party to derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and to meet the needs of commercial customers. These financial instruments have been generally limited to loan level interest rate swap agreements, which are entered into with counterparties that meet established credit standards. These transactions involve both credit and market risk. The notional amounts are amounts on which calculations, payments, and the value of the derivatives are based. Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures. The fair value of the derivative instruments is reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as other assets or accrued expenses and other liabilities as appropriate. Changes in the fair value of these agreements are recorded in miscellaneous income in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
The Company did not have derivative fair value hedges or derivative cash flow hedges at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The table below presents information about derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments at June 30, 2014 and and December 31, 2013.

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 has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its interest rate swap derivative counterparties.
Other contracts represent risk participation agreements on commercial loan level interest rate swap agreements. The Company has entered into risk participation agreements with the correspondent institutions to share in any interest rate swap gains or losses incurred as a result of the commercial loan customers’ termination of a loan level interest rate swap agreement prior to maturity. The Company records these risk participation agreements at fair value.

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE MEASURMENTS
Determination of fair value
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
Fair value hierarchy
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks and short-term investments approximate fair value.
Trading assets and securities available for sale: All fair value measurements are obtained from a third-party pricing service and are not adjusted by management. The securities measured at fair value in Level 1 are based on quoted market prices in an active exchange market. These securities include U.S. Treasuries and marketable equity securities. All other securities are measured at fair value in Level 2 based on pricing models that consider standard input factors

25



such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, credit spreads and new issue data.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock: The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.
 
Loans: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for other types of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Loans held for sale: Fair values are based on commitments in effect from investors or prevailing market prices.

Accrued interest receivable: The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates fair value.

Deposits: The fair values for non-certificate accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for certificate accounts are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Borrowings: The carrying value of short-term borrowings approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair values of long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current incremental borrowing rates in the market for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Derivative instruments: The fair values of interest rate swap agreements are based on a valuation model that uses primarily observable inputs, such as benchmark yield curves and interest rates and also include the value associated with counterparty credit risk.

Off-balance sheet instruments: Fair values for off-balance sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The estimated fair value of off-balance sheet financial instruments at June 30, 2014 and 2013, was immaterial since fees charged are not material.

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
The Company may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. There were no assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2013. There are no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The following tables summarize losses and fair value hierarcy applicable to assets mesarued at fair value on a non-recurring basis:

Losses applicable to impaired loans are based on the appraised value of the underlying collateral, discounted as necessary due to management’s estimates of changes in market conditions. The losses applicable to impaired loans are not recorded as a direct adjustment to current earnings or comprehensive income, but rather as a component in determining the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Adjustments to the estimated fair value of impaired loans may result in increases or decreases to the provision for loan losses.

NOTE 10 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

28



Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenues, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities are reported as a separate component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.
The components of accumulated other comprehensive income, included in equity, are as follows:

NOTE 11-REGULATORY CAPITAL
Minimum regulatory capital requirements
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
As of June 30, 2014, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.
 
The Bank’s and the Company’s actual and minimum required capital amounts and ratios as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are presented below.

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

General

Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations at and for three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto, appearing on Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

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

30



statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;
statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;
statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and
estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this quarterly report, except as required by law.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:
our ability to implement successfully our new business strategy, which includes significant asset and liability growth;
our ability to increase our market share in our market areas and capitalize on growth opportunities;
our ability to implement successfully our branch network expansion strategy;
general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected;
competition among depository and other financial institutions;
inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;
adverse changes in the securities markets which, given the significant size of our investment securities portfolio, could cause a material decline in our reported equity and/or our net income if we must record impairment charges or a decline in the fair value of our securities, which are all available for sale;
changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements;
changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans;
changes in our financial condition or results of operations that reduce capital available to pay dividends; and
changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own.
    
Additional factors that may affect our results are discussed in the prospectus dated May 14, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Securities Act Rule 424(b)(3) on May 23, 2014, under the heading “Risk Factors.”

Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in Blue Hill Bancorp, Inc.’s prospectus dated May 14, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Securities Act Rule 424(b)(3) on May 23, 2014.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013

Total Assets. Total assets increased $508.8 million, or 38.7%, to $1.8 billion at June 30, 2014 from $1.3 billion at December 31, 2013. As previously announced the subscription offering related to the Bank's mutual-to-stock conversion completed on July 21, 2014 was oversubscribed with the Company receiving orders in excess of the adjusted maximum of the offering range ($277.7 million). A portion of this money was held in escrow as of June 30, 2014 and accounts for almost $300 million of the increase in total assets from the end of 2013. Excluding the impact of the funds held in escrow and short-term investments, total assets were up a little over $200 million compared to December 31, 2013 driven mainly by net loans which increased $225.8 million.

31



    
Loans. At June 30, 2014, net loans were $990.4 million, compared with $764.6 million at December 31, 2013. The $225.8 million, or 29.5%, increase in net loans was partially the result of the acquisition of $102.2 million of loans ($97.5 million net of purchase accounting adjustments) in January 2014 as part of the Nantucket Bank acquisition. Loans acquired in the Nantucket Bank acquisition consisted primarily of commercial real estate loans and home equity loans and lines of credit. See Note 3 of the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Excluding the effect of the Nantucket Bank acquisition, the increase in net loans is due to growth in the residential mortgage, commercial real estate, and construction portfolio as the the Company executes on its strategy of expanding the loan portfolio.

Securities Available for Sale. Total securities available for sale decreased by $23.7 million, or 5.4%, to $417.6 million at June 30, 2014 from $441.3 million at December 31, 2013. Declines in U.S. Treasury securities and mutual funds were partially offset by an increase in corporate bonds. Unrealized gains on available for sale securities increased to $10.9 million at June 30, 2014 from $2.8 million at December 31, 2013.

At June 30, 2014, we had no investments in a single company or entity, other than the U.S. Treasury or Government-sponsored enterprises, that had an aggregate book value in excess of 10% of our equity.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $256.6 million, or 636.5%, to $296.9 million at June 30, 2014 from $40.3 million at December 31, 2013. The significant increase since the end of 2013 reflects the subscription offering related to the Company's mutual-to-stock conversion that closed on July 21, 2014. The offering was oversubscribed with the Company receiving orders in excess of the adjusted maximum of the offering range ($277.7 million) and a majority of this money was held in short term investments at June 30, 2014.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance. The Company's investment in bank-owned life insurance changed only slightly during the first half of 2014 as a result of current period earnings on such policies. At June 30, 2014, the investment was $30.3 million, compared to $29.8 million at December 31, 2013.

Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible. At June 30, 2014, goodwill and core deposit intangible assets totaled $14.4 million compared to none at December 31, 2013. The entire balance at June 30, 2014 relates to the Nantucket Bank acquisition and is a combination of the core deposit intangible associated with the deposit liabilities assumed and the goodwill resulting from the transaction. Although we believe the purchase price allocation is substantially complete, further adjustment may be required as additional information is obtained.
Deposits. Total deposits increased by $236.0 million, or 25.8%, to $1.2 billion at June 30, 2014 from $915.2 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in total deposits was primarily due to the $274.6 million of deposits assumed in the Nantucket Bank acquisition in January 2014. Approximately 10% of the deposits assumed in the Nantucket Bank acquisition were certificates of deposit and the remainder were demand, savings and money market deposits; see Note 3 of the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The increase in total deposits related to the Nantucket Bank acquisition was partially offset by a decline in consumer deposits due, in part, to the Company's strategy of reducing its reliance on higher priced deposits as evidenced by the yield on interest bearing deposits declining to 0.53% in the second quarter of 2014 from 0.88% in the second quarter of 2013.
Borrowings. Total borrowings decreased 9.3%, from $215.0 million at December 31, 2013 to $195.0 million at June 30, 2014. Short-term borrowings of $160 million at June 30, 2014 and $170.0 million at December 31, 2013 consisted of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. Long-term borrowings of $35.0 million at June 30, 2014 and $45.0 million at December 31, 2013 consisted of fixed-rate advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, with maturities ranging from 2014 through 2018.
Equity. Total equity increased $4.6 million, or 2.7%, to $176.2 million at June 30, 2014 from $171.5 million at December 31, 2013. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in net unrealized gains on securities available for sale.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013
General. The Company reported net income of $429,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to net income of $1.1 million for the three months of June 30, 2013. For the first six months of 2014, the Company reported net income of $31,000 compared to net income of $2.7 million for the first six months of 2013.
Net interest income and noninterest expense levels were up significantly in both the three and six month periods in 2014 reflecting growth in the franchise, the Nantucket Bank acquisition in January 2014, and costs associated with the Company’s mutual to stock conversion. Noninterest income was down in both the three and six month periods in 2014 reflecting lower bank-owned life insurance death benefits and the absence of a gain from the sale of jumbo residential mortgage portfolio loans in the 2013 period. Securities gains were higher in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013 but in the six month comparison securities gains declined. Deposit account fees and Interchange and ATM fees registered significant increases in both comparisons due primarily to the Nantucket Bank acquisition.

Average Balances and Yields
The following table sets forth average balance sheets, annualized average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. 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. No tax equivalent yield adjustments have been made as the effect of such adjustments would not be material.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest and dividend 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 total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately, based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income was $9.9 million in the second quarter of 2014, up $4.1 million, or 71.6%, from $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2013. Net interest margin improved to 2.67% in the second quarter of 2014 from 2.14% in the second quarter of 2013. Below is a summary of the major factors impacting the change in net interest and dividend income and margin from the second quarter of 2013.
The growth in net interest and dividend income and margin was helped by the transformation of the Company’s retail banking franchise towards lower cost core deposits as the yield on average interest bearing liabilities declined to 0.55% in the second quarter of 2014 from 0.92% in the second quarter of 2013 and the average balance of noninterest bearing deposits grew $84.6 million, or 299%, to $112.8 million.
A $454.1 million, or 88.1%, increase in average loans contributed to the improvement in net interest income from the second quarter of last year. Loan growth was driven by higher levels of loans in all categories, mainly residential mortgages and commercial real estate.
The January 2014 Nantucket Bank acquisition contributed to both the growth in loans and the decline in the yield on interest bearing liabilities while the impact of purchase accounting accretion from that acquisition contributed $779,000 to net interest income and 21 basis points to net interest margin in the current year's second quarter. The approximately $4.0 million remaining balance of accretable yield at June 30, 2014 is expected to be recorded to net interest income in future quarters.
Net interest margin in the second quarter of 2014 also included a negative impact of 7 basis points from funds related to the Company’s subscription offering, which were temporarily invested in low yielding liquid assets.
Compared to the first six months of 2013, net interest and dividend income increased $7.4 million, or 67.2%, while net interest margin improved 56 basis points to 2.60%. The improvement in net interest and dividend income and margin were mainly driven by the same factors discussed above in the quarterly comparison. Average loans grew $416.5 million, or 81.8%, and net interest and dividend income and margin were both helped by the transformation of the Company’s retail banking franchise towards lower cost core deposits with the January 2014 Nantucket Bank acquisition contributing to the growth in loans and the decline in the yield on interest bearing liabilities. The impact of purchase accounting accretion from the

37



Nantucket Bank acquisition contributed $969,000 to net interest income and 14 basis points to net interest margin during the first half of 2014.
Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased $3.7 million, or 47.1%, to $11.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Interest and fees on loans grew $4.5 million, or 92.1%, to $9.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2013 as average loans grew $454.1 million from a year ago reflecting organic loan growth as well as loans obtained in the Nantucket Bank acquisition. Interest and fees on loans was also helped by an increase in loan yield to 3.89% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 3.81% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as a 31 basis points increase in yield from the accretion of $722,000 of the discount on loans purchased in the Nantucket Bank acquisition, was partially offset by a decline in loan yield from a higher contribution of short-term LIBOR based commercial loans and competitive pricing pressures. The higher level of interest and fees on loans was partially offset by a $452,000, or 18.4%, decline in interest on securities and a $356,000, or 74.9% decline in dividends. The average balance of investment securities declined $91.6 million, or 17.8%, to $422.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $513.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. This reflects the Company's strategy to change the earning asset mix towards a higher proportion of loans. In addition, the yield on securities declined to 1.98% in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to 2.28% in the second quarter of 2013.

Compared to the first six months of 2013, interest and dividend income increased $6.5 million, or 42.9%, to $21.7 million for the first half of 2014 from $15.2 million for the first half of 2013. Interest and fees on loans grew $7.7 million, or 78.8%, to $17.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $9.8 million in the first half of 2013 as average loans grew $416.5 million from a year ago. The impact of a higher level of loans was partially offset by a decline in loan yield to 3.80% in the first half of 2014 from 3.87% in the first half of 2013. This reflects a higher contribution of short-term LIBOR based commercial loans and competitive pricing pressures, partially offset by a 19 basis points increase in yield from the accretion of $855,000 of the discount on loans purchased in the Nantucket Bank acquisition. The higher level of interest and fees on loans was partially offset by a $804,000, or 16.9%, decline in interest on securities and a $365,000, or 56.2% decline in dividends on securities as the average balance of investment securities declined $90.5 million, or 17.2%, to $432.7 million in the first half of 2014 and the yield on securities declined to 1.93% in current year period from 2.07% a year ago.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $419,000, or 20.0%, to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Interest expense on deposits fell $479,000, or 26.2%, despite an increase of $182.5 million, or 21.8%, in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $1.0 billion in the second quarter of 2014. The decline in interest expense on deposits was driven by a drop in the cost to 0.53% in the second quarter of 2014 from 0.88% in the second quarter of 2013. This reflects the execution of a strategic initiative to transform the Company’s retail banking franchise towards lower cost core deposits. The Nantucket Bank acquisition was consistent with this goal as the deposits obtained in that acquisition had a composite rate of 0.34% on the acquisition date. Interest expense on borrowings increased $60,000, or 22.6%, to $326,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $266,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was due to a $128.4 million, or 165.1%, increase in average borrowings as funding, in excess of the growth of deposits, was needed to support loan growth. The increase in interest expense caused by the higher average balance was partially offset by a 74 basis point decline in cost to 0.63% for the second quarter of 2014 from 1.37% in the second quarter of 2013.

Compared to the first six months of 2013 interest expense declined $868,000, or 20.7%, to $3.3 million for first half of 2014 from $4.2 million for the first half of 2013. The comparison of interest expense in the six month period was mainly impacted by the same factors discussed above in the quarterly comparison. Interest expense on deposits fell $940,000, or 25.8% as a decline in cost to 0.54% for the first six months of 2014 from 0.89% in the first six months of 2013, was partially offset by an increase of $182.8 million, or 22.2%, in the average balance of interest bearing deposits to $1.0 billion in the current year period from $822.1 million a year ago. Interest expense on borrowings increased $72,000, or 12.9%, to $630,000 for the first half of 2014 as an $83.0 million, or 80.5%, increase in the average balance of borrowings was partially offset by a decline in cost to 0.68% in the first half of 2014 from 1.09% in the first half of 2013.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $959,000 in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2013. For the first six months of 2014, the provision for loan losses was $1.7 million compared to $2.0 million in the first half of 2013. The provision in all periods reflects management’s assessment of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.13% at June 30, 2014, and 1.12% March 31, 2014, compared to 1.32% at June 30, 2013. The decline in the allowance coverage ratio from June 30, 2013 reflects placing the loans obtained in the Nantucket Bank acquisition on the balance sheet at estimated fair value. As a result, there was no associated allowance for loan losses established on the Nantucket Bank loans which resulted in an overall lower allowance coverage ratio for the Company. The unallocated component of the reserve is maintained to cover uncertainties that

38



could affect management’s estimate of probable losses and reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating allocated and general reserves in the portfolio. Given the significant overall level of growth in the Company’s loan portfolio in new loan segments, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company increased the unallocated component of the allowance in recognizing the increased uncertainty within the general reserves for these new segments.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income declined $1.4 million, or 37.0% from the second quarter of 2013 to $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2014. The decline was driven by a $1.5 million drop in gains from bank-owned life insurance due to the absence in 2014 of death benefits received in 2013, the absence of a $618,000 gain from the sale of jumbo residential mortgage portfolio loans recorded in 2013, a $292,000 decline in mortgage banking income reflecting a lower level of conforming loan sales, and a $125,000 drop in loan level derivative income from fewer conversions of commercial loans from floating to fixed rate. These declines were offset by a $1.1 million increase in securities gains and increases of $209,000 in deposit account fees and $161,000 in Interchange and ATM fees primarily driven by the Nantucket Bank acquisition.
    
Noninterest income declined $5.2 million, or 56.7%, from the first half of 2013 to $3.9 million in the first six months of 2014. The decline was mainly driven by a $2.6 million decrease in securities gains, a $1.5 million drop in gains from bank-owned life insurance due to the absence in 2014 of death benefits received in 2013, the absence of a $618,000 gain from the sale of jumbo residential mortgage portfolio loans recorded in 2013, a $438,000 decline in mortgage banking income reflecting a lower level of conforming loan sales, and a $253,000 decline in gains on trading assets as the trading operation was discontinued. These declines were offset by increases of $366,000 in deposit account fees and $259,000 in Interchange and ATM fees primarily driven by the Nantucket Bank acquisition.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $10.7 million in the second quarter of 2014, up $3.0 million, or 39.9%, from the second quarter of 2013. The increase in noninterest expense was mainly due to the January 2014 Nantucket Bank acquisition including operating expenses of approximately $1.0 million, deposit intangible amortization of $509,000, and one-time acquisition costs of $177,000. In addition, operating expenses were boosted by higher costs related to the the Company's transformation into a diversified community bank, including continued expansion of the management team and other infrastructure to meet the needs associated with the current business plan. On a full time equivalent basis, total employees were 215 at June 30, 2014 compared to 153 at June 30, 2013. The second quarter of 2014 also included approximately $330,000 of expenses related to the mutual to stock conversion.
    
For the first six months of 2014, noninterest expense was $20.9 million, up $5.8 million, or 38.6%, from the first half of 2013. The increase in noninterest expense was mainly due to same factors described above that contributed to the increase in the quarterly comparison. The January 2014 Nantucket Bank acquisition including operating expenses of approximately $1.8 million, one-time acquisition costs of $948,000 and deposit intangible amortization of $862,000. In addition, operating expenses were boosted by higher costs related to the Bank's transformation into a diversified community bank and the first half of 2014 contributed approximately $818,000 of expenses related to the mutual-to-stock conversion.

Income Tax Provision. The tax provision in the second quarter of 2014 was $137,000 on pre-tax income of $566,000 yielding an effective tax rate of 24.2%. This compares to a tax benefit of $421,000 in the second quarter of 2013 on pre-tax income of $708,000. The tax benefit for the first six months of 2014 was $292,000 on a pre-tax loss of $261,000 yielding an effective tax rate of 111.9%. This compares to a tax provision of $397,000 for the first six months of 2013 on pre-tax income of $3.1 million. The tax provision or benefit in any quarter is a function of the size of pre-tax earnings as well as the level of tax exempt income. The second quarter of 2013 included a higher level of tax exempt income primarily due to the receipt of the tax exempt bank-owned life insurance income.

Assets that do not expose the Company to risk sufficient to warrant classified loan status, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve close attention, are designated as special mention. As of June 30, 2014, there were $15.8 million of assets designated as special mention compared to $2.8 million at December 31, 2013.

The bulk of the increase in special mention loans from December 31, 2013 is mainly due to one credit. That credit is being monitored closely and the situation has recently shown improvement. At June 30, 2014, we have not identified any potential problem loans that are not included in the table above.

Management of Market Risk

Net Interest Income Analysis.  Income simulation is the primary tool for measuring the interest-rate risk inherent in our balance sheet at a given point in time by showing the effect on net interest income, over specified time horizons, under a range of interest rate ramp and shock scenarios. These simulations take into account repricing, maturity and prepayment characteristics of individual products. These estimates require us to make certain assumptions including loan and mortgage-related investment prepayment speeds, reinvestment rates, and deposit maturities and decay rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, we cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income. Although the net interest income table below provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such estimates are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.
As of June 30, 2014, net interest income simulation indicated that our exposure to changing interest rates was within our internal guidelines. The following table presents the estimated impact of interest-rate ramps on our estimated net interest income over the period indicated:
Change in Interest
Rates (basis points) (1)
 
Change in Net Interest Income

0.44%
_______________________ 
(1)
The calculated change in net interest income assumes a gradual parallel shift across the yield curve over a one-year period.    

The table above indicates that at June 30, 2014, in the event of a 200 basis point increase in interest rates over a one year period, assuming a gradual parallel shift across the yield curve over such period, we would experience a 5.24% increase in net interest income.  At the same date, in the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates over a one year period, assuming a gradual parallel shift across the yield curve over such period, we would experience a 0.44% increase in net interest income.  The subscription offering that closed in June related to the Company’s mutual-to-stock conversion as discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Total Assets” impacted our net

42



interest income sensitivity due to the addition of escrow funds the majority of which was held in short-term investments which increases asset sensitivity.

Economic Value of Equity Analysis. We also analyze the sensitivity of our financial condition to changes in interest rates through our economic value of equity model. This analysis measures the difference between predicted changes in the present value of our assets and predicted changes in the present value of our liabilities assuming various changes in current interest rates. Our economic value of equity analysis as of June 30, 2014 indicated that, in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience an estimated 4.5% decrease in the economic value of our equity. At the same date, our analysis indicated that, in the event of an instantaneous 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience an estimated 1.8% decrease in the economic value of our equity. Reflected in our economic value of equity is the impact of Company’s mutual-to-stock conversion completed on July 21, 2014 and as discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Total Assets”. The impact on our economic value of equity under all scenarios discussed above are within our internal guidelines. The estimates of changes in the economic value of our equity require us to make certain assumptions including loan and mortgage-related investment prepayment speeds, reinvestment rates, and deposit maturities and decay rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, we cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on the economic value of our equity. Although our economic value of equity analysis provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such estimates are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on the economic value of our equity and will differ from actual results.
    
 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2014, we had $195.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”) advances outstanding with an ability to borrow up to an additional $227.0 million. At June 30, 2014, the Company also had $33.0 million in available unsecured federal funds lines with correspondent banks, which could be drawn upon as needed. There were no amounts outstanding under these lines of credit at June 30, 2014.

The most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and the level of these assets is dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $296.9 million, which was up significantly from $40.3 million at December 31, 2013. As previously announced on July 11, 2014, the subscription offering that closed in June related to the Company’s mutual-to-stock conversion was oversubscribed with the Company receiving orders in excess of the adjusted maximum of the offering range ($277.7 million). A portion of this money was held in short-term investments as of June 30, 2014 and accounts for the bulk of the increase in cash and cash equivalents from the end of 2013.

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts and borrowings. There was a net increase in deposits of $236.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, largely in relation to the Nantucket Bank acquisition. Included in the increase in total deposits was a $10 million decline related to brokered deposits. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors, and by other factors. There was also a net decrease in borrowings of $20 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The funds from the stock offering referred to above were released on July 21, 2014 when the mutual-to-stock conversion closed and the funds are being used in the short-term to pay down borrowings and brokered deposits.

At June 30, 2014, we had $91.0 million in loan commitments outstanding. In addition to commitments to originate loans, we had $135.3 million in unused lines of credit to borrowers and letters of credit and $13.3 million in undisbursed construction loans. Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2014 totaled $272.2 million, or 23.6%, of total deposits. Excluding brokered deposits, certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2014 totaled $204.7 million, or 17.8%, of total deposits.

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. At June 30, 2014, we exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and were considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

Legal Proceedings

We are not involved in any material pending legal proceedings as a plaintiff or a defendant other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. We are not involved in any legal proceedings the outcome of which we believe would be material to our financial condition or results of operations.
On May 7, 2014, a complaint was filed with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration by a former employee alleging retaliatory employment practices in violation of the whistleblower provisions of the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The complaint, which was filed by a former employee terminated by Blue Hills Bank in October 2013, requests reinstatement of the employee, payment with interest of foregone compensation, including bonuses and employee benefits, medical expenses and attorney’s fees and litigation expenses in unspecified amounts. Blue Hills Bancorp, Inc. and Blue Hills Bank believe the allegations in the complaint are completely without merit and intend to vigorously defend this action and any other action instituted by the employee. We formally replied to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration on June 2, 2014.
