Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Organization of Holding Company
Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. (the "company") is a Massachusetts corporation, which
was organized on February 29, 1996, at the direction of Enterprise Bank and
Trust Company, a Massachusetts trust company (the "bank"), for the purpose of
becoming the holding company for the bank.
(2) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the company's December 31, 2000, audited financial statements and notes
thereto. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the entire year.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of
the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are
particularly susceptible to change relate to the determination of the allowance
for loan losses.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all
necessary adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals for a fair
presentation.
(3) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the year to
date weighted average number of common shares that were outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the effect on weighted average shares
outstanding of the number of additional shares outstanding if dilutive stock
options were converted into common stock using the treasury stock method. The
increase in average shares outstanding, using the treasury stock method, for the
diluted earnings per share calculation were 80,744 and 94,229 for the quarters
ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000, respectively.
(4) Dividend Reinvestment Plan
The company maintains a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "DRP"). The DRP enables
stockholders, at their discretion, to elect to reinvest dividends paid on their
outstanding shares of company common stock by purchasing additional shares of
company common stock from the company. The stockholders utilized the DRP to
reinvest $493,000 of the dividends paid by the company in 2000 into 47,800
shares of the company's common stock.
(5) Fleet Branch Acquisition
On July 21, 2000 the bank completed its acquisition of two Fleet National Bank
branch offices (the "Fleet branches"). The excess of cost over the fair market
value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of approximately $7.9 million
has been allocated to identified intangible assets and goodwill (combined
"intangible assets") and is being amortized over a ten-year period.
(6) Trust Preferred Securities
On March 10, 2000 the company organized Enterprise (MA) Capital Trust I (the
"Trust"), a statutory business trust created under the laws of Delaware. The
company is the owner of all the common shares of beneficial interest of the
Trust. On March 23, 2000 the Trust issued $10.5 million of 10.875% trust
preferred securities. The trust preferred securities have a thirty year maturity
and may be redeemed at the option of the Trust after ten years. The proceeds
from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the Trust, along
with the company's $0.3 million capital contribution, to acquire $10.8 million
in aggregate principal amount of the company's 10.875% Junior Subordinated
Deferrable Interest Debentures due 2030. The company has, through the
Declaration of Trust establishing the Trust, fully and unconditionally
guaranteed on a subordinated basis all of the Trust's obligations with respect
to distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation, redemption or repayment.
(7) Reclassification
Certain fiscal 2000 information has been reclassified to conform to the 2001
presentation.

5%. This requirement does not apply to the company and is reflected
merely for informational purposes with respect to the bank.
On April 17, 2001, the board of directors declared a dividend in the amount of
$0.2875 per share to be paid on or about June 28, 2001 to shareholders of record
as of the close of business on June 8, 2001. The board of directors intends to
consider the payment of future dividends on an annual basis.
Balance Sheet
Total Assets
Total assets increased $25.4 million, or 4.4 %, since December 31, 2000. The
increase is primarily attributable to increases in investment securities of
$11.5 million and gross loans of $12.6 million. The increase in assets was
funded primarily by growth in deposits and short-term borrowings of $11.1 and
$12.3 million, respectively.
Investments
At March 31, 2001 all of the bank's investment securities were classified as
available-for-sale and carried at fair value. The net unrealized appreciation at
March 31, 2001 was $4.1 million compared to $2.3 million at December 31, 2000.
The net unrealized appreciation/depreciation in the portfolio fluctuates as
interest rates rise and fall. Due to the fixed rate nature of the bank's
investment portfolio, as rates rise the value of the portfolio declines, and as
rates fall the value of the portfolio rises. The unrealized appreciation will
only be realized if the securities are sold. The unrealized appreciation on the
investment portfolio will decrease as interest rates rise or as the securities
approach maturity.
Loans
Total loans, before the allowance for loan losses, were $324.4 million, or 54.2%
of total assets, at March 31, 2001, compared to $311.8 million, or 54.4% of
total assets, at December 31, 2000. The increase in loans of $12.6 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was primarily attributed to originations for
commercial and commercial real estate loans and drawdowns on commercial lines of
credit.
9
Deposits and Borrowings
Total deposits, including escrow deposits of borrowers, increased $11.1 million,
or 2.4%, during the first three months of 2001, from $463.1 million at December
31, 2000, to $474.2 million at March 31, 2001. The increase of $11.1 million
consists of growth of $25.9 million in savings, checking and money market
deposits primarily attributable to sales efforts and increased market
penetration, offset by a $14.8 million decrease in certificates of deposit
primarily attributable to interest rate decreases during the first quarter of
2001.
Short-term borrowings, consisting of securities sold under agreements to
repurchase and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings, increased $12.3
million, or 21.2%, from $58.3 million at December 31, 2000 to $70.6 million at
March 31, 2001. The increase was primarily attributable to growth of $12.4
million in commercial sweep balances, which along with term repurchase
agreements are classified as securities sold under agreements to repurchase. The
bank had $470,000 in borrowings outstanding from the FHLB at March 31, 2001.

Total non-performing assets decreased $1.3 million from March 31, 2000 to March
31, 2001, and the ratio of non-performing loans to gross loans decreased from
0.50% to 0.18% over the same period. The decreases are primarily attributable to
non-performing loans paid off and a strong economy during 2000. The level of
non-performing assets is largely a function of economic conditions and the
overall banking environment, as well as the strength of the bank's loan
underwriting. Adverse changes in local, regional or national economic
conditions could negatively impact the level of non-performing assets in the
future, despite prudent underwriting.

Net Interest Income
The company's net interest income was $6,251,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2001, an increase of $1,531,000 or 32.4% from $4,720,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000. Interest income increased $1,963,000, primarily
resulting from increases in average loan balances of $55.1 million, or 21.2%,
and average investment security and fed funds sold balances of $45.3 million, or
27.5%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2000 to the quarter ended March 31,
2001. Included in the average loan balance at March 31, 2001 are $7.0 million in
loans purchased from Fleet National Bank. The increase in interest income was
partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $432,000, primarily due
to an increase of $508,000 in savings, personal interest checking ("PIC") and
money market interest expense resulting from an average balance increase of
$81.3 million and an increases in time deposit interest expense of $102,000
offset by a decrease in short-term borrowing expense of $178,000 over the same
period. The average balance on time deposits decreased to $150.9 million at
March 31, 2001 from $153.9 million at March 31, 2000. The average balance on
short-term borrowings decreased to $62.8 million at March 31, 2001 from $67.8
million at March 31, 2000. The change consists of an increase in repurchase
agreements of $32.5 million offset by a decrease in FHLB borrowings of $37.5
million. Included in the average deposit balance at March 31, 2001 are $34.7,
$14.0 and $9.6 million in savings/PIC/MMDA, time, and non-interest bearing
deposits, respectively, assumed from Fleet National Bank on July 21, 2000.
The average tax-equivalent yield on earning assets in the three months ended
March 31, 2001, was 8.14%, up 3 basis points from 8.11% in the three months
ended March 31, 2000. The average rate earned on loans decreased 1 basis point
from 9.11% at March 31, 2000 to 9.10% at March 31, 2001. The average tax
equivalent rate earned on investment securities increased to 6.79% at March 31,
2001 from 6.53 % at March 31, 2000 primarily due to investment securities
purchased during the 2nd quarter of 2000 when market rates were at a higher
point in the interest rate cycle.
12
The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits and short-term borrowings for
the three months ended March 31, 2001, was 3.92%, a decrease of 28 basis points
from 4.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The resulting interest
rate spread increased 31 basis points to 4.22% for the three months ended March
31, 2001, from 3.91% for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The average rate
paid on savings/PIC/money markets accounts increased to 2.42% from 2.33% for the
period ended March 31, 2001 versus the same period in 2000, primarily from
growth in tiered rate business savings and tiered rate personal money market
accounts, which were introduced in late 1999 and mid 2000, respectively. The
average rate paid on certificates of deposit increased to 5.51% at March 31,
2001 compared to 5.09% March 31, 2000. The increase is primarily attributable to
higher market rates on certificates of deposit originated in 2000. The average
rate paid on short-term borrowings, which includes repurchase agreements and
FHLB borrowings, decreased from 5.66% at March 31, 2000 to 5.02% at March 31,
2001 primarily due to pay downs of higher costing FHLB borrowings, which were
accomplished in part through the use of the net proceeds received by the bank in
connection with the Fleet Branch acquisition.
Net interest margin increased to 5.00% at March 31, 2001 from 4.67% at March 31,
2000, primarily due to the 28 basis point decrease in the rate paid on interest
bearing deposits and short-term borrowings and the 3 basis point increase in
yield on interest earning assets.
The following table sets forth, among other things, the extent to which changes
in interest rates and changes in the average balances of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities have affected interest income and expense
during the three months ended March 31, 2001, and March 31, 2000, respectively.
For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities,
information is provided on changes attributable to: (1) volume (change in
average portfolio balance multiplied by prior year average rate); (2) interest
rate (change in average interest rate multiplied by prior year average balance);
and (3) rate and volume (the remaining difference).

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses amounted to $210,000 and $126,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000, respectively. The provision
reflects real estate values and economic conditions in New England and in
Greater Lowell, in particular, the level of non-accrual loans, levels of
charge-offs and recoveries, levels of outstanding loans, known and inherent
risks in the nature of the loan portfolio and management's assessment of current
risk. The provision for loan losses is a significant factor in the bank's
operating results.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income increased by $838,000 to $1,506,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2001, compared to $668,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2000. This increase was primarily caused by increases in net gains on security
sales of $390,000, investment management and trust service fees of $173,000,
deposit service fees of $132,000, gains on loan sales of $52,000 and other
income of $91,000.
Net gains on sales of investment securities amounted to $390,000 and $0 for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000, respectively. The gains
resulted from management's decision to take advantage of certain investment
opportunities and asset/liability repositioning.
Investment management and trust service fees increased by $173,000, or 52.0%,
for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000
due to an increase in trust assets and the establishment of an investment
services unit. Trust assets increased from $238.8 million at March 31, 2000 to
$276.2 million at March 31, 2001.
Deposit service fees increased by $132,000, or 61.7%, for the three months ended
March 31, 2001, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000, due primarily
to an increase in savings, checking and money market balances of $124.0 million,
or 60% from March 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001. The deposit balance increase
resulted in higher checking and overdraft fees. Included in the aforementioned
deposit growth are $44.3 million in savings, PIC, and money market balances
assumed from Fleet National Bank on July 21, 2000.
Gains on loan sales increased by $52,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2001, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000, due primarily to
decreases in interest rates beginning in December of 2000 that have resulted in
increased refinance and sales volume.
Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2001, was $202,000 compared to
$111,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, due primarily to increases
in debit card fees, ATM surcharges, check printing fees, safe deposit fees and
wire transfer fees.
Non-Interest Expenses
Salaries and benefits expense totaled $3,261,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2001, compared with $2,345,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2000, an increase of $916,000 or 39.1%. This increase was primarily due to the
acquisition of the Fleet branches, new hires due to bank growth, strategic
initiatives implemented by the bank, and annual pay raises.
Occupancy expense was $955,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001,
compared with $721,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, an increase of
$234,000 or 32.5%. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of the
Fleet branches, office renovations for operational support departments and loan
officers and ongoing enhancements to the bank's computer systems.
Advertising and public relations expenses increased by $56,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 primarily due to
the timing of expenses associated with the advertising programs and bank growth.
Audit, legal and other professional expenses increased by $27,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 primarily
resulting from increased compliance and audit related expenses associated with
the bank's growth.
16
Trust professional and custodial expenses increased by $83,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase
was primarily due to asset growth and an increase in professional management
fees as a percentage of assets.
Office and data processing supplies expense increased by $37,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. The increase
was primarily due to the timing of purchases and growth.
Trust preferred expense was $290,000 and $29,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000, respectively. The expense consists of
interest costs and the amortization of deferred underwriting costs from the
trust preferred securities issued on March 23, 2000.
Amortization of intangible assets was $198,000 and $0 for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000, respectively. The expense consists of
intangible assets acquired in connection with the Fleet branch acquisition,
which are being amortized over ten years.
Other operating expense was $609,000 and $451,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000, respectively. The increase of $158,000 is
primarily due to the bank's growth and consists of increased expenses for ATM's,
courier services, general insurance, telephone, postage, internet banking and
EDP system security.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense and the effective tax rate for the three months ended March
31, 2001 and March 31, 2000 were $440,000 and 27.1% and $337,000 and 25.8%,
respectively. The increase in effective tax rate resulted primarily from higher
pre-tax income which decreases the impact of tax exempt municipal income.
ITEM 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The company's primary market risk is interest rate risk, specifically, changes
in the interest rate environment. The bank's investment committee is responsible
for establishing policy guidelines on acceptable exposure to interest rate risk
and liquidity. The investment committee is comprised of certain members of the
Board of Directors and certain members of senior management. The primary
objectives of the company's asset/liability policy is to monitor, evaluate and
control the bank's interest rate risk, as a whole, within certain tolerance
levels while ensuring adequate liquidity and adequate capital. The investment
committee establishes and monitors guidelines for the net interest margin
sensitivity, equity and capital ratios, liquidity, FHLB borrowing capacity and
loan to deposit ratio. The asset/liability strategies are reviewed regularly by
management and presented and discussed with the investment committee on at least
a quarterly basis. The asset/liability strategies are revised based on changes
in interest rate levels, general economic conditions, competition in the
marketplace, the current position of the bank, anticipated growth of the bank
and other factors.
One of the principal factors in maintaining planned levels of net interest
income is the ability to design effective strategies to manage the impact of
changes in interest rates on future net interest income. The balancing of
changes in interest income from interest earning assets and interest expense of
interest bearing liabilities is accomplished through the asset/liability
management program. The bank's simulation model analyzes various interest rate
scenarios. Variations in the interest rate environment affect numerous factors,
including prepayment speeds, reinvestment rates, maturities of investments (due
to call provisions), and interest rates on various asset and liability accounts.
The investment committee periodically reviews guidelines or restrictions
contained in the asset/liability policy and adjusts them accordingly. The bank's
current asset/liability policy is designed to limit the impact on net interest
income to 10% in the 24 month period following the date of the analysis, in a
rising and falling rate shock analysis of 100 and 200 basis points.
Management believes there have been no material changes in the interest rate
risk reported in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2000.
