RANDOLPH BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2017 and 2016

1. CONVERSION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Conversion

Randolph Bancorp, a Massachusetts-chartered mutual holding company and the parent company of Randolph Savings Bank (the “Bank”), adopted a plan of conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”) in January 2016 which was subsequently approved by Randolph Bancorp’s Corporators in May 2016. Under the Plan of Conversion, Randolph Bancorp converted from a mutual to a stock holding company in a series of transactions in which Randolph Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp”), a recently formed subsidiary of Randolph Bancorp, became the surviving entity.

On July 1, 2016, the mutual-to-stock transaction was completed and Bancorp sold 5,686,750 shares of its common stock, representing the adjusted maximum of the offering range, at $10.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $56,867,500, including the sale of 469,498 shares to the Bank’s newly formed employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”). The ESOP’s shares were funded by a loan from Bancorp to be repaid over 25 years with interest at the prime rate.

The direct costs of stock offering were deducted from the proceeds of the offering and amounted to $2,325,000.

In connection with the Plan of Conversion, Bancorp established The Randolph Savings Charitable Foundation, Inc. (the “Foundation”). The Foundation was funded with 181,976 shares of Bancorp’s common stock and $455,000 in cash. Bancorp recognized expense of $2,274,700 in the third quarter of 2016 for this contribution.

The Bancorp and the Bank are required to restrict their net worth by establishing liquidation accounts (collectively, the “liquidation account”) for the benefit of eligible account holders who continue to maintain deposit accounts at the Bank after the conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent eligible depositors reduce their qualifying deposits and cannot be increased thereafter with additional deposits. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, each eligible account holder would be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held. Neither the Bancorp 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 the liquidation account.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Randolph Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Randolph Savings Bank (together, the “Company”). The Bank has subsidiaries involved in owning investment securities and foreclosed real estate properties and a subsidiary which provides loan closing services. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the accompanying interim financial statements do not include all information required under GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements, primarily consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 or any other interim period.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the SEC.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current accounting requirements. For lessors, this ASU modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. This ASU is effective for non-emerging growth companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein. As an emerging growth company, this ASU is effective for the Company in its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated balance sheet.

6

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (“CECL”) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgements used in determining the allowance for loan losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s loan portfolio. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. This ASU is effective for non-emerging growth companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As an emerging growth company, this ASU is effective for the Company in its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2018. The Company is currently assessing its data and system needs and is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

3. ACQUISITION

On July 1, 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of First Eastern Bankshares Corporation (“First Eastern”) for cash of $14.1 million. The results of operations of First Eastern are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations beginning on July 1, 2016.

The following table presents selected unaudited pro forma financial information assuming the acquisition was completed on January 1, 2016. The pro forma amounts reflect adjustments related to reversal of non-recurring merger and integration costs and amortization and accretion of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments. No benefit for income taxes is included in the determination of the pro forma net loss due to the Company’s determination to establish a full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect management’s estimate of any revenue enhancement opportunities or anticipated cost savings nor any adjustments related to the stock offering completed on July 1, 2016.

The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial results of the Company and First Eastern had the acquisition transaction actually been completed at the beginning of the period presented, nor does it indicate future results for any interim or annual period. Pro forma basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are not presented as such information is not being presented as part of our historical financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016 due to the completion of the stock offering subsequent thereto.

Unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is as follows (in thousands):

Net interest income	$	3,270
Non-interest income		3,230
Net loss		(183	)

Direct acquisition and merger integration costs associated with the First Eastern business combination are being expensed as incurred and are presented separately in the accompanying statement of operations. Costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016 consist principally of legal and consulting fees. Costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017 consist principally of severance obligations and system conversion costs. Additional merger integration costs are expected to be incurred through the third quarter of 2017.

4. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income (loss).  Although certain changes in assets and liabilities are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, such items, along with net income (loss), are components of comprehensive income (loss).

The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, included in total stockholders’ equity, are as follows:

At March 31, 2017, 34 debt securities have unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 3.59% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses at March 31, 2017, which related primarily to securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, were primarily caused by an increase in long-term rates in the fourth quarter of 2016. The Company currently does not believe it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of these investments.

10

Therefore, it is expected that the bonds would not be settled at a price less than the par value of the investment. Because the Company does not intend to sell any debt securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell any debt securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis, it does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2017.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company periodically grants concessions to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. The Company’s troubled debt restructurings consist primarily of interest rate concessions for periods of three months to 30 years for residential real estate loans, and for periods up to one year for commercial real estate loans.

At March 31, 2017, the Company had 18 residential real estate loans and three commercial real estate loans aggregating $4,479,000 and $589,000, respectively, which were subject to troubled debt restructuring agreements.

At March 31, 2016, the Company had 19 residential real estate loans and five commercial real estate loans aggregating $4,870,000 and $1,052,000, respectively, which were subject to troubled debt restructuring agreements.

As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, $5,067,000 and $5,644,000, respectively, in troubled debt restructurings were performing in accordance with the terms of the modified loan agreements.  Included in such amounts are $1,756,000 and $1,740,000, respectively, that are being accounted for as non-accrual loans.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company did not enter into any loan modifications meeting the criteria of a troubled debt restructuring.

Management performs a discounted cash flow calculation to determine the amount of impairment reserve required on each of the troubled debt restructurings.  Any reserve required is recorded as part of the allowance for loan losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no material changes to the allowance for loan losses as a result of loan modifications made which were considered a troubled debt restructuring.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no troubled debt restructurings that defaulted (over 30 days past due) within twelve months of the restructure date.

Credit Quality Information

The Company utilizes an eight-grade internal loan rating system for commercial real estate, construction and commercial loans, as follows:

Loans rated 1 – 3B are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.

Loans rated 4 are considered “special mention.”  These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

Loans rated 5 are considered “substandard” and are 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.

Loans rated 6 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.

Loans rated 7 are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial real estate, construction and commercial and industrial loans.  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.

14

The following table presents the Company’s loans by risk rating at the dates indicated:

	March 31, 2017						December 31, 2016
	Commercial RealEstate		Construction		Commercial and Industrial		Commercial RealEstate		Construction		Commercial and Industrial
	(In thousands)
Loans rated 1 - 3B	$	91,622	$	26,188	$	12,001	$	88,186	$	23,286	$	2,067

	$	91,828	$	26,538	$	12,001	$	88,394	$	23,629	$	2,067

Residential mortgages, home equity loans and lines of credit, and consumer loans are monitored for credit quality based primarily on their payment status. When one of these of loans becomes more than 90 days delinquent, it is assigned an internal loan rating.  At March 31, 2017, $884,000 in residential mortgages were rated as substandard and $1,294,000 in residential mortgages and $398,000 in home equity loans were rated as special mention. At December 31, 2016, $890,000 in residential mortgages were rated as substandard and $1,471,000 in residential mortgages and $400,000 in home equity loans were rated as special mention.  

7. LOAN SERVICING

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans serviced for others was $1,074,511,000 and $1,046,551,000 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The following table summarizes the activity relating to mortgage servicing rights for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

	March 31, 2017			March 31, 2016
Mortgage servicing rights:
Balance at beginning of year	$	8,910		$	2,601
Additions through originations		451			206
Amortization		(339	)		(120	)
Balance at end of period	$	9,022		$	2,687
Valuation allowance:
Balance at beginning of year	$	424		$	34
Provision (credit)		(280	)		—
Balance at end of period	$	144		$	34
Amortized cost, net	$	8,878		$	2,653
Fair value	$	8,907		$	2,898

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded a partial reversal of the valuation allowance for its mortgage servicing rights of $280,000 due to an increase in fair value caused by lower expected loan prepayments.

8. INCOME TAXES

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded a federal tax benefit of $26,000 and $0, respectively, and state tax expense of $3,000 and $2,000, respectively. The federal tax benefit for the 2017 period resulted from, and was limited to, an offsetting tax provision attributable to other comprehensive income, specifically, appreciation in the fair value of available-for-sale securities.

Since 2014, the Company has maintained a valuation allowance for all of its deferred tax assets based on a determination that it was more likely than not that such assets would not be realized. This determination was based on the Company’s net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward position, its current period operating results exclusive of non-recurring items and its expectations for the upcoming year. In performing subsequent assessments, management has concluded that no significant changes in the key factors affecting the realizability of the deferred tax asset has occurred and that a valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets should be maintained.

9. ON-BALANCE SHEET DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Derivative Loan Commitments

Mortgage loan commitments qualify as derivative loan commitments if the loan that will result from exercise of the commitment will be held for sale upon funding.  The Company enters into commitments to fund residential mortgage loans at specified rates and times in the future, with the intention that these loans will subsequently be sold in the secondary market.

Outstanding derivative loan commitments expose the Company to the risk that the price of the loans arising from exercise of the loan commitment might decline from inception of the rate lock to funding of the loan due to an increase in mortgage interest rates.  If interest rates increase, the value of these loan commitments decreases.  Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the value of these loan commitments increases.  The notional amount of derivative loan commitments was $43,620,000 and $32,904,000 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  The fair value of such commitments was an asset of $812,000 and $617,000 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Forward Loan Sale Commitments

The Company utilizes both “mandatory delivery” and “best efforts” forward loan sale commitments to mitigate the risk of potential decreases in the values of loans that would result from the exercise of the derivative loan commitments.

With a “mandatory delivery” contract, the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price on or before a specified date.  If the Company fails to deliver the amount of mortgages necessary to fulfill the commitment by the specified date, it is obligated to pay a “pair-off” fee, based on then-current market prices, to the investor to compensate the investor for the shortfall.

With a “best efforts” contract, the Company commits to deliver an individual mortgage loan of a specified principal amount and quality to an investor if the loan to the underlying borrower closes.  Generally, the price the investor will pay the seller for an individual loan is specified prior to the loan being funded (e.g. on the same day the lender commits to lend funds to a potential borrower). The Company does not account for best efforts contracts as derivative instruments, as such contracts do not require payment of a pair-off fee if the underlying mortgage loan does not close.

The Company expects that these forward loan sale commitments will experience inverse changes in fair value to the change in fair value of derivative loan commitments.  The notional amount of forward loan sale commitments was $48,575,000 and $29,481,000 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The fair value of certain of these commitments was an asset of $32,000 and $65,000 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets while the fair value of other such commitments was a liability of $104,000 and $47,000 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

10. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

In connection with our mutual-to-stock conversion and stock offering, the Company established an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP) which acquired 469,498 shares of the Company’s common stock equaling 8% of the shares issued, including shares issued to the Foundation. The ESOP is a tax-qualified retirement plan providing employees the opportunity to own Company stock. Company contributions to the ESOP are allocated to eligible participants on the basis of compensation, subject to federal tax limits. The number of shares to be allocated annually is 18,780 through 2040.

Shares are committed to be released on a monthly basis and allocated as of December 31 each year. During the three month period ended March 31, 2017, 4,695 shares were committed to be released resulting in compensation expense, based on the fair value of the Company’s stock, of $72,000. The fair value of the 446,023 unallocated and uncommitted shares at March 31, 2017 was $6,913,400.

11. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share represents net income (loss) divided by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. Unallocated ESOP shares are not considered to be outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share. There were no potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding at March 31, 2017.

The cost of shares issued to the ESOP, but not yet allocated or committed to be released to participants, is shown as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017 there were 5,868,726 shares outstanding while the average of unallocated and uncommitted ESOP shares totaled 448,371 resulting in a total of 5,420,356 shares being used to compute basic and

16

diluted earnings per share. As shares were not outstanding during the first quarter of 2016 earnings per share is not presented for this period.

12. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

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 assets and liabilities.  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 asset or liability.

Effective July 1, 2016, the Company elected the fair value option pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825, “Financial Instruments” for its residential mortgage loans being held for sale in the secondary market. ASC 825 allows for the irrevocable option to elect fair value accounting for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis that may otherwise not be required to be measured at fair value under other accounting standards. The Company elected the fair value option to better match changes in fair values of the loans with changes in the fair value of the forward loan sale commitments which are used to economically hedge them against changes in interest rates between the time an interest rate lock agreement is entered into with the borrower and the time the completed loan is sold. The aggregate fair value of the loans held for sale, the contractual balance of loans held for sale and the gain on loans held for sale totaled $19.9 million, $19.5 million and $427,000, respectively, at March 31, 2017. The gain on loans held for sale is reported as a component of net gains on sale of mortgage loans in the accompanying statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures:

Cash and cash equivalents – The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values based on the short-term nature of the assets.

Certificates of deposit – Certificates of deposit are carried at cost. These assets are measured at fair value in level 2 based on pricing models that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, credit spreads and new issue data.

Securities – 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 (none at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016) are based on quoted market prices in an active exchange market.  Securities measured at fair value in Level 2 are based on pricing models that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, credit spreads and new issue data.

Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”) stock – It is not practical to determine the fair value of FHLBB stock due to restrictions on its transferability.

Loans held for sale – Fair values are based on commitments in effect from investors or prevailing market prices and include the servicing value of the loans.

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 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.

Mortgage servicing rights – Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income, using various assumptions related to fees, discount rates and prepayment speeds.

Deposit liabilities – The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts).  Fair values for fixed-rate term certificates 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.

17

FHLBB advances - The fair values of the Company’s FHLBB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current incremental borrowing rates in the market for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Accrued interest - The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

On-balance-sheet derivatives - Fair values of forward loan sale commitments and derivative loan commitments are based on fair values of the underlying mortgage loans based on current market prices for similar assets in the secondary market. For derivative loan commitments, fair values also include the value of servicing, deferred origination fees/costs and the probability of such commitments being exercised.

Off-balance sheet credit-related instruments - Fair values for off-balance-sheet, credit-related financial instruments 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 fair values of these instruments are not material.

The Company may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with U.S. 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.  The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related assets as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The Company recorded a partial reversal of the valuation allowance for its mortgage servicing rights of $280,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017, due to an increase in fair value caused by lower expected loan prepayments. There were no changes in the valuation allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Loan commitments

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market, credit and interest rate risk which are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

The following financial instruments were outstanding, at the dates indicated, whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016
	(In thousands)
Commitments to originate loans	$	28,500	$	35,682
Unused lines and letters of credit		36,790		37,045
Unadvanced funds on construction loans		1,581		2,699
Overdraft lines of credit		9,119		9,189

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The majority of these financial instruments are collateralized by real estate.

Other contingencies

We are not currently a party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

This section is intended to help investors understand the financial performance of Randolph Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary through a discussion of the factors affecting its financial condition at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and their results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. This section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Randolph Bancorp, Inc. and notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. For the purpose of this Quarterly Report, the terms the “Company” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Randolph Bancorp, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context indicates another meaning.

We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.

Overview

Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income and gains on the sale of mortgage loans. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets and the interest we pay on interest-bearing liabilities. Our interest-earning assets consist primarily of residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, construction loans, consumer loans and investment securities. Interest-bearing liabilities consist primarily of deposit accounts and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”). Gains on the sale of mortgage loans result from the sale of such loans in the secondary mortgage market. The amount of these gains is dependent on the volume of our loan originations.

Completion of Stock Offering and Acquisition of First Eastern Bankshares Corporation

On July 1, 2016, the Company completed its mutual-to-stock conversion and stock offering receiving net proceeds of $49.8 million. Immediately thereafter, we consummated the acquisition of First Eastern Bankshares Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary First Federal Savings Bank of Boston (together, “First Eastern”) at a cost of $14.1 million.

First Eastern’s primary business is the origination and sale of residential mortgage loans in the secondary market and offering a variety of insured deposit accounts and using such deposits as well as borrowings to originate portfolio loans, primarily residential mortgage and construction loans, to its customers. As a result of the acquisition, our footprint expanded to include a branch office in downtown Boston, seven loan production offices in Massachusetts and one loan production office in New Hampshire.

See Notes 1 and 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information related to these transactions.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain of our accounting policies are important to the presentation of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company” we have elected to use the extended transition period to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016

Total Assets. Total assets increased $1.3 million to $482.5 million at March 31, 2017 from $481.2 million at December 31, 2016. While portfolio loans increased $20.0 million, or 5.6%, during the first quarter of 2017, mortgage loans held for sale decreased $10.5 million, or 34.5%, during the same period. Deposits increased $10.9 million during the first quarter of 2017, or 3.1%, to $362.1 million from $351. 2 million at December 31, 2016, while FHLBB advances were reduced by $8.2 million during this same period.

Loans Held for Sale. We are actively involved in the secondary mortgage market and designate a significant majority of our residential first mortgage loan production for sale. At March 31, 2017, loans held for sale, which consist of closed residential first mortgage loans which we have committed to sell to investors, totaled $19.9 million compared to $30.5 million at December 31, 2016. This decrease is due to lower origination volume attributable to the increase in mortgage rates that began in November 2016 ending the period of historically low mortgage rates that had prevailed throughout 2016 prior to that time. In addition, the winter season is a traditionally slower period for loan originations in the New England region of the U.S., particularly for purchase transactions.

Net Loans. Net loans increased $20.0 million to $353.0 million at March 31, 2017 from $333.0 million at December 31, 2016. This increase occurred in both real estate secured lending ($9.5 million) and non-real estate secured lending ($10.5 million). The Company experienced growth in all categories of real estate loans lead by commercial real estate loans which increased $3.4 million and construction loans which increased $2.9 million consistent with the Company’s stated emphasis on commercial lending. During the first quarter of 2017, commercial and industrial (business) loans increased $9.9 million to $12.0 million at March 31, 2017 compared to $2.1 million at December 31, 2016. This growth is entirely due to participation in loans originated by a super-regional bank to local franchisees of a major international fast food retailer.

Investment Securities. Investment securities, all of which are classified as available for sale, decreased $1.2 million to $67.4 million at March 31, 2017 from $68.6 million at December 31, 2016. At March 31, 2017, investment securities represented 14.0% of total assets compared to 14.3% at December 31, 2016. This decrease is a consequence of our strategic intent to invest a higher proportion of interest-earning assets in loans.

Mortgage Servicing Rights.Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) increased $392,000 to $8.9 million at March 31, 2017 from $8.5 million at December 31, 2016. This increase is due to net growth of $28 million in serviced loans and the partial reversal in the valuation allowance for MSRs of $280,000. This reduction in the valuation allowance as of March 31, 2017 is due to the increase in the fair value of MSRs which resulted from slower loan prepayment assumptions. The Company services nearly $1.1 billion in residential mortgage loans at March 31, 2017.

Deposits. Deposits increased $10.9 million to $362.1 million at March 31, 2017 from $351.2 million at December 31, 2016. This growth was concentrated in non-maturity deposit accounts which increased $10.4 million during the first quarter of 2017, including an increase of $4.8 million in non-interest bearing accounts. Term certificate accounts increased $515,000 during the first quarter of 2017. The growth in non-maturity deposits was concentrated in business checking and business money market accounts which increased $11.4 million. Growth in consumer savings accounts of $4.0 million was fully offset by decreases in money market accounts and interest-bearing checking accounts.

22

FHLBB Advances. FHLBB advances were reduced by $8.2 million to $30.5 million at March 31, 2017 from $38.7 million at December 31, 2016. The Company reduced its overnight advances by $8.0 million during the first quarter of 2017 using, at various times, the funds provided by deposit growth and the sale of loans. No new term or amortizing advances were taken down in the first quarter of 2017.

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity was $83.0 million at March 31, 2017 compared to $83.3 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease of $340,000 during the first quarter of 2017 is due to the net loss from operations of $447,000, partially offset by appreciation in the fair value of available-for-sale securities and equity adjustments offsetting the expense of the employee stock ownership plan formed in connection with Company’s conversion from a mutual to a stock holding company in July 2016. The Company’s tier one capital to average assets ratio was 17.1% at March 31, 2017 compared to 16.9% at December 31, 2016.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016

General. The Company’s operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 include First Eastern, which was acquired on July 1, 2016, while operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 do not include First Eastern. Separate operating results for First Eastern for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not available due to a conversion of systems that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2016.

The Company incurred a net loss of $447,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to net income of $2,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Operating results for both periods were affected by merger and integration costs related to the acquisition of First Eastern, which amounted to $167,000 and $117,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This non-core expense item and its financial impact is presented in the table on p. 27 under the caption “Non-GAAP Measures”.

Analysis of Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the difference between income we earn on our interest-earning assets and the expense we pay on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends on the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned on such assets and paid on such liabilities.

23

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income, presented on a tax equivalent basis, 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 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.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income, inclusive of tax equivalent adjustments on municipal securities, increased $727,000, or 22.7%, to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This increase was due to the utilization of the $49.8 million in net proceeds of our July 2016 stock offering, including the acquisition of First Eastern, which together contributed to an increase in average interest-earning assets of $79.2 million between periods. The net margin increased in the first quarter of 2017 to 3.22% from 3.15% in the first quarter of 2016, due primarily to the increase in the ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities to 138.06% during the 2017 period compared to 116.49% during the 2016 period. This improvement was caused by the receipt and investment of the net proceeds of the stock offering and an increase of $24.5 million in the average balance of non-interest bearing deposits.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $25,000, or 6.7%, to $400,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $375,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  This increase reflects growth in both average deposit balances partially offset by a decrease in FHLBB advances.  The overall cost of funds increased one basis point to 0.50% in the first quarter of 2017.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $702,000, or 24.8%, to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This improvement was a direct result of the aforementioned stock offering, which was used to fund loan growth, and the increase in non-interest-bearing deposits. Changes in asset yields and the cost of funds had an insignificant impact on the change in net interest income between periods.

Provision for Loan Losses. Based on the application of our loan loss methodology, we recorded provisions of $235,000 and $62,000 to our allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Classified and non-accrual loans were stable during the first quarter of 2017 while regional and local economic data, including housing prices, continued their positive trend. The provision for the first quarter of 2017 was in the general component of the allowance for loan losses and reflected growth in the commercial component of both the real estate and non-real estate secured loan portfolios.  The provision for the first quarter of 2016 was also in the general component of the allowance for loan losses and reflected growth in the commercial real estate portfolio.

Net Gain on Sale of Mortgage Loans. The net gain on sale of mortgage loans increased $1.4 million to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $681,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2016. This increase is entirely

25

attributable to the acquisition of First Eastern. While such gains nearly tripled from the year ago period, this growth rate was smaller than had been experienced in the previous quarterly periods since the acquisition when growth was nearly twice that rate. Since the acquisition of First Eastern in July 2016, quarterly loan sales have amounted to $187.2 million in the period ended September 30, 2016, $157.5 million in the period ended December 31, 2016 and $100.0 million for period ended March 31, 2017. This trend is indicative of the seasonal nature of the residential mortgage market in the New England region of the U.S., where the second and third quarters of the year generally include more home sales activity. Exacerbating this post-acquisition trend was the strong market for refinancing activity that existed throughout most of 2016 but which declined significantly in 2017 following the marked increase in mortgage interest rates beginning in November 2016. While refinanced loans represented 45% of loan originations in 2016, such activity represented only 31% of loan originations during the first quarter of 2017.

Other Non-interest Income. Non-interest income, excluding the net gain on the sale of mortgage loans, increased $750,000 to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $622,000 during the same quarter of the prior year. The principal source of this increase was net mortgage servicing fees which increased $560,000 to $660,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $100,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2016. This increase was due to the more than tripling of serviced loans as a result of the First Eastern acquisition and a $280,000 partial reversal of the valuation allowance for MSRs. The fair value of MSRs increased during the first quarter of 2017, primarily resulting from slower loan prepayment speeds. Also contributing to the increase in non-interest income was $101,000 in fees generated by a subsidiary acquired in the acquisition of First Eastern which provides loan closing services, and an $84,000 revision to the estimated gain on the sale of serviced loans in December 2016. Such revision was due to lower than expected loan prepayments and tax service fees.

Non-interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses increased $3.1 million and amounted to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2016. This increase is due in large part to the acquisition of First Eastern. All expense categories experienced increases as a result of this transaction, the most significant of which was salaries and employee benefits, which increased $2.5 million, or 112.4%, during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The Company doubled the number of employees as a result of this acquisition. Also contributing to this increase was a $570,000 increase in commission expense associated with the growth in loan originations resulting from this acquisition.

Data processing expenses decreased $73,000, or 28.6%, in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the same quarter in the prior year. In March 2016, the Company entered into a new contract with its third party core data processor which led directly to this decrease. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance premiums decreased $40,000 in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the same quarter of the prior year due principally to the impact of the capital raised in the July 2016 stock offering.

The Company incurred merger and integration costs directly attributable to the First Eastern acquisition of $167,000 and $117,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Costs incurred in the 2016 period were for legal and other consulting fees incurred in finalizing the terms of the acquisition and integration planning. Costs incurred in the 2017 period were primarily for employee severance and system conversion costs. We expect to incur additional costs through the third quarter of 2017 as we continue to fully integrate the operations of First Eastern.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit). During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded a federal tax benefit of $26,000 and $0, respectively, and state tax expense of $3,000 and $2,000, respectively. The federal tax benefit for the 2017 period resulted from, and was limited to, an offsetting tax provision attributable to other comprehensive income, specifically, appreciation in the fair value of available-for-sale securities.

Since 2014, the Company has maintained a valuation allowance for all of its deferred tax assets based on a determination that it was more likely than not that such assets would not be realized. This determination was based on the Company’s NOL carryforward position, its current period operating results exclusive of non-recurring items and its expectations for the upcoming year. In performing subsequent assessments, management has concluded that no significant changes in the key factors affecting the realizability of the deferred tax asset has occurred and that a valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets should be maintained.

Non-GAAP Measures

Management assesses the Company’s financial performance for purposes of making day-to-day and strategic decisions, it does so based upon the performance of its core banking business which is derived from the combination of net interest income and non-interest income reduced by the provision for loan losses and non-interest expenses and the impact of income taxes, if any, all as adjusted for any non-core items. The Company’s financial reporting is determined in accordance with GAAP, which sometimes includes items that management believes are unrelated to its core banking business and are not expected to have a material financial impact on operating results in future periods, such as merger and integration costs, life insurance settlements and other items. Management computes the Company’s non-GAAP operating earnings, non-interest income as a percentage of total income and the

26

efficiency ratio on an operating basis, which excludes these items, in order to measure the performance of the Company’s core banking business.

Non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. An item that management determines to be non-core and excludes when computing these non-core measures can be of substantial importance to the Company’s results for any particular reporting period. The Company’s non-GAAP performance measures are not necessarily comparable to such measures that may be used by other companies.

The following table summarizes the impact of non-core items recorded for the reporting periods indicated below and reconciles them in accordance with GAAP:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017			2016
Net income (loss) - GAAP basis	$	(447	)	$	2

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2017, we had $30.5 million of FHLBB advances outstanding. At that date, we had the ability to borrow up to an additional $69.9 million from the FHLBB and $3.5 million under a line of credit with a correspondent bank.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The level of these assets is dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2017, cash and cash equivalents totaled $8.4 million.  

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts and borrowings. 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. We experienced a net increase in deposits of $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

At March 31, 2017, we had $28.5 million in loan commitments outstanding. In addition to commitments to originate loans, we had $36.8 million in unused lines of credit to borrowers and letters of credit and $1.6 million in undisbursed construction loans. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current loan origination commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from March 31, 2017 totaled $53.5 million. Management expects, based on historical experience, that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed.

29

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. At March 31, 2017, our Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio was 17.13%. We exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and were considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company is not required to disclose quantitative and qualitative information about market risk as it qualifies as a smaller reporting company.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2017. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
