st: xtabond problem in results interpretation

Goodmorning Statalists!As new in stata i would like your precious help!I want to examine the dynamics in a panel using the Arellano and Bond
methodology. I estimate the impact of ageing (variable called older) to health spending (variable called the)using the above command
-xtabond the older, lags(1)-
and I take this output
Arellano-Bond dynamic panel-data estimation Number of obs = 158
Group variable (i): region Number of groups = 10
Wald chi2(2) = 789.52
Time variable (t): var1 Obs per group: min = 14
avg = 15.8
max = 16
One-step results

Sargan test of over-identifying restrictions:
chi2(135) = 163.36 Prob > chi2 = 0.0487
Arellano-Bond test that average autocovariance in residuals of order 1 is 0:
H0: no autocorrelation z = -3.30 Pr > z = 0.0010
Arellano-Bond test that average autocovariance in residuals of order 2 is 0:
H0: no autocorrelation z = -2.35 Pr > z = 0.0190
How can I interpret the results? I have read about the dynamic panel data model in Baum's book but as my stata version is 9 I can't use xtabond2 and follow his example...
I would be really grateful for any help...
