Loans | Loans Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13/ASC 326, the CECL standard, as described in Notes 4 and 16 of these financial statements, the Company updated the segmentation of its loan portfolio. The updates primarily consist of reporting what had been a single class, commercial real estate loans, as three classes - commercial real estate owner occupied, commercial real estate non-owner occupied, and commercial multi-family. In addition home equity installment loans which had previously been included in the residential term class are now included in the home equity revolving and term class. Loan data as of September 30, 2023 is reported herein with the new class structure while certain prior period data retains the prior class structure. Loan Portfolio by Class: The following table shows the composition of the Company's loan portfolio by class of financing receivable as of September 30, 2023 and 2022 and at December 31, 2022: September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 September 30, 2022 Commercial Real estate owner occupied $ 299,943,000 14.4 % $ 256,623,000 13.4 % $ 251,410,000 13.6 % Real estate non-owner occupied 397,024,000 19.1 % 363,660,000 19.0 % 315,514,000 17.0 % Construction 72,424,000 3.5 % 93,907,000 4.9 % 129,036,000 6.9 % C&I 350,596,000 16.9 % 319,359,000 16.7 % 310,110,000 16.7 % Multifamily 91,041,000 4.4 % 79,057,000 4.1 % 71,784,000 3.9 % Municipal 58,447,000 2.8 % 40,619,000 2.1 % 48,702,000 2.6 % Residential Term 660,049,000 31.7 % 597,404,000 31.2 % 581,066,000 31.3 % Construction 28,986,000 1.4 % 49,907,000 2.6 % 41,631,000 2.2 % Home Equity Revolving and term 101,980,000 4.9 % 93,075,000 4.9 % 87,903,000 4.7 % Consumer 19,370,000 0.9 % 21,063,000 1.1 % 20,819,000 1.1 % Total $ 2,079,860,000 100.0 % $ 1,914,674,000 100.0 % $ 1,857,975,000 100.0 % Loan balances include net deferred loan costs of $11,213,000 as of September 30, 2023, $10,132,000 as of December 31, 2022, and $9,978,000 as of September 30, 2022. Net deferred loan costs have increased from a year ago and year-to-date due to loan origination unit volume over the period. Loan balances in the Residential Term segment also include a valuation adjustment for fair value swaps hedged by certain loans in the portfolio. This adjustment subtracted $705,000 from the loan balances as of September 30, 2023; there was no such adjustment as of December 31, 2022 or September 30, 2022. Pursuant to collateral agreements, qualifying first mortgage loans and commercial real estate loans, which totaled $525,904,000 at September 30, 2023, were used to collateralize borrowings from the FHLBB. This compares to qualifying loans which totaled $475,233,000 at December 31, 2022, and $464,069,000 at September 30, 2022. In addition, commercial, residential construction and home equity loans totaling $332,657,000 at September 30, 2023, $338,636,000 at December 31, 2022, and $327,551,000 at September 30, 2022, were used to collateralize a standby line of credit at the FRBB. In September 2022 the Bank sold a block of 41 mixed performing residential mortgage loans. This block of loans carried general ledger balances that totaled $5.2 million and included a number of past-due, non-accrual, and TDR loans. The impact of the sale on the portfolio is included in the information presented herein for the prior year. Past Due Loans: For all loan classes, loans over 30 days past due are considered delinquent.

A loan is "well secured" if it is secured (1) by collateral in the form of liens on or pledges of real or personal property, including securities, that have a realizable value sufficient to discharge the debt (including accrued interest) in full, or (2) by the guarantee of a financially responsible party. A loan is "in the process of collection" if collection of the loan is proceeding in due course either (1) through legal action, including judgment enforcement procedures, or, (2) in appropriate circumstances, through collection efforts not involving legal action which are reasonably expected to result in repayment of the debt or in its restoration to a current status in the near future. Cash payments received on non-accrual loans are applied to reduce the loan's principal balance until the remaining principal balance is deemed collectible, after which interest is recognized when collected. As a general rule, a loan may be restored to accrual status when payments are current for a substantial period of time, generally six months, and repayment of the remaining contractual amounts is expected, or when it otherwise becomes well secured and in the process of collection. The following table presents the amortized costs basis of loans on nonaccrual status as of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022: September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 September 30, 2022 Nonaccrual with Allowance for Credit Loss Nonaccrual with no Allowance for Credit Loss Total Nonaccrual Total Nonaccrual Total Nonaccrual Commercial Real estate owner occupied $ — $ — $ — $ 193,000 $ 195,000 Real estate non-owner occupied — — — — — Construction — 29,000 29,000 23,000 25,000 C&I 363,000 351,000 714,000 663,000 756,000 Multifamily — — — — — Municipal — — — — — Residential Term 304,000 1,016,000 1,320,000 572,000 637,000 Construction — — — — — Home equity Revolving and term — 490,000 490,000 304,000 247,000 Consumer — — — — — Total $ 667,000 $ 1,886,000 $ 2,553,000 $ 1,755,000 $ 1,860,000 Individually Analyzed Loans: Individually analyzed loans include loans placed on non-accrual and loans reported as TDR prior to adoption of ASU 2022-02 Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, with balances of $250,000 or more. These loans are measured at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of an individually analyzed loan is lower than the recorded investment in the loan and estimated selling costs, a specific reserve is established for the difference, or, in certain situations, if the measure of an individually analyzed loan is lower than the recorded investment in the loan and estimated selling costs, the difference is written off.

ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs and introduces new guidance for enhanced reporting of certain loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Loan modifications may include interest rate reduction, term extension, payment deferral, principle forgiveness or a combination thereof. It is the intent to minimize future losses while providing borrowers with financial relief. The following table represents loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by modification type and class of financing receivable, during the three months ended September 30, 2023: Payment Deferral Amortized Cost Basis at September 30, 2023 % of Total Class of Financing Receivable Commercial Real estate owner occupied $ 504,000 0.17 % C&I 19,000 0.01 % $ 523,000 0.03 % The following table describes the financial effect of the modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty for the three months ended September 30, 2023: Payment Deferral Financial Effect Commercial Real estate owner occupied Temporary payment accommodation, payments deferred to end of loan.

A TDR constitutes a restructuring of debt if the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. To determine whether or not a loan was to be classified as a TDR, Management evaluated a loan based upon the following criteria: • The borrower demonstrates financial difficulty; common indicators include past due status with bank obligations, substandard credit bureau reports, or an inability to refinance with another lender; and • The Company has granted a concession; common concession types include maturity date extension, interest rate adjustments to below market pricing, and deferment of payments. As of December 31, 2022, the company had 29 loans with a balance of $4,744,000 that were classified as TDRs. The impairment carried as a specific reserve in the allowance for loan losses is calculated by present valuing the expected cash flows on the loan at the original interest rate, or, for collateral-dependent loans, using the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell. The following table shows TDRs by class and the specific reserve as of December 31, 2022: Number of Loans Balance Specific Reserves Commercial Real estate 5 $ 1,044,000 $ — Construction 1 661,000 — Other 3 361,000 81,000 Municipal — — — Residential Term 20 2,678,000 100,000 Construction — — — Home equity line of credit — — — Consumer — — — 29 $ 4,744,000 $ 181,000 As of December 31, 2022, one of the loans classified as TDR with a total balance of $97,000 was more than 30 days past due and was not placed on TDR status in the previous 12 months.
