Credit Quality Information:

The Company utilizes a nine-grade internal loan rating system for commercial and multi-family residential loans, construction loans and commercial loans as follows:

Loans rated 1 – 4 are considered “pass” loans with low to average risk.

Loans rated 5 are considered “watch” loans. Loans classified as watch are “pass” loans that management is monitoring more closely but remain acceptable credit.

Loans rated 6 are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

Loans rated 7 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.

Loans rated 8 are considered “doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful 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 9 are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.

On a quarterly basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial and multi-family residential, construction and commercial 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 review process.

The Company utilizes a rating scale of pass, special mention, substandard or doubtful for one-to-four family residential loans and equity loans and lines of credit. On a quarterly basis, or more often if needed, the Company reviews the ratings of these loans and makes adjustments as deemed necessary. At March 31, 2013, residential one-to-four family residential loans rated substandard amounted to $515,000 and equity loans and lines of credit rated substandard amounted to $56,000. At December 31, 2012, residential one-to-four family residential loans rated substandard amounted to $518,000 and equity loans and lines of credit rated substandard amounted to $56,000. All other one-to-four family residential loans and equity loans and lines of credit were classified as pass at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS

Outstanding loan commitments totaled $27.5 million at March 31, 2013, as compared to $21.8 million as of December 31, 2012. Loan commitments consist of commitments to originate new loans as well as the outstanding unused portions of lines of credit.

NOTE 6 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) represents net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. If rights to dividends on unvested options/awards are non-forfeitable, these unvested awards/options are considered outstanding in the computation of basic earnings per share. Diluted EPS reflects additional common shares (computed using the treasury stock method) that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options and unvested restricted stock) were issued during the period. Treasury shares and unallocated ESOP shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.

NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. For example, Level 2 assets and liabilities may include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments or mortgage loans held for sale, for which the fair value is based on what the securitization market is currently offering for mortgage loans with similar characteristics.

Level 3 – Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

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 cash equivalents approximate fair values.

Securities held to maturity : All fair value measurements are obtained from a third-party pricing service and are not adjusted by management. Fair values 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.

FHLB stock : The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLB”) stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the FHLB.

Table of Contents

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, adjusted for credit risk.

Accrued interest : The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair values.

Deposits : The fair values for non-certificate accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date which is the carrying amount. Fair values for certificates of deposit 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.

Long-term borrowings : 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.

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 values of off-balance-sheet instruments are immaterial.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring 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 liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The losses represent the amounts recorded during 2013 and 2012 on the assets held at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

NOTE 10 – SECURED BORROWINGS AND ASSETS PLEDGED AS COLLATERAL

FHLB borrowings at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 amounted to $76.3 million and $87.8 million, respectively. All FHLB borrowings are secured by a blanket lien on certain qualified collateral, defined principally as 75% of the carrying value of first mortgage loans on owner-occupied residential property, 50% of the carrying value of certain pledged commercial mortgages and 65% of the carrying value of certain pledged multi-family real estate loans. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying amount of assets qualifying as collateral for FHLB advances amounted to $217.0 million and $218.4 million, respectively.

During 2008, the Company entered into a repurchase agreement for $15,000,000 at a rate of 2.58%. This agreement matures in November 2013 and is callable on a quarterly basis.

The securities collateralizing this repurchase agreement are classified as securities held to maturity and the obligation to repurchase securities sold is reflected as a liability in the consolidated balance sheets. Government-sponsored enterprise residential mortgage-backed securities pledged to secure this agreement has a carrying value of $19.4 million and $22.3 million and a fair value of $21.3 million and $24.5 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These mortgage-backed securities are held to maturity and cannot be sold. In addition, the Company has $4.0 million in cash pledged as collateral to secure this agreement at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assessments by management, and which could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. As discussed in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company considers our critical accounting policies to be those related to the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of our net deferred tax asset. The Company’s critical accounting policies have not changed since December 31, 2012.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012

Total assets at March 31, 2013 were $430.6 million, a decrease of $18.8 million, or 4.2%, compared to $449.4 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease in assets was concentrated in cash and cash equivalents and securities held to maturity, as funds were used to pay down long-term borrowings and fund deposit outflows.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $15.7 million, or 43.7%, and a decline in securities held to maturity of $2.9 million, or 12.9%, provided funding for an $8.2 million decrease in deposits and an $11.5 million decrease in long-term borrowings.

The net loan portfolio increased by $1.1 million, or 0.3%, during the first quarter of 2013. The loan portfolio increase was attributable to an increase in one-to-four family residential mortgage loans (an increase of $1.7 million, or 0.8%), and construction loans (an increase of $2.5 million, or 60.5%), partially offset by decreases in home equity loans and lines (a decrease of $732,000, or 4.3%), and commercial and multi-family residential mortgage loans (a decrease of $2.4 million, or 2.2%).

Deposit balances decreased by $8.2 million, or 2.8%. The decrease in deposits occurred in NOW/Demand accounts (a decrease of $8.6 million, or 6.6%), and time deposit accounts (a decrease of $2.1 million, or 2.7%), partially offset by an increase in money market accounts (an increase of $2.0 million, or 4.4%), and savings accounts (an increase of $561,000, or 1.5%).

Borrowings, consisting of FHLB advances and one repurchase agreement totaling $15.0 million, decreased $11.5 million, or 11.2%, to $91.3 million at March 31, 2013, due to FHLB advances that matured during the quarter, compared to an outstanding balance of $102.8 million at December 31, 2012.

Total stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2013 was $54.0 million compared to $53.2 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily attributable to net income and exercised stock options.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

General. Net income decreased by $261,000, or 64.9%, to $141,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $402,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in net interest income, an increase in non-interest expenses and an increase in the provision for income taxes, partially offset by a decrease in the provision for loan losses.

Net Interest Income . Net interest income was $3.4 million and $3.6 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the interest earned on loans and securities, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense from long-term borrowings. The Company’s first quarter 2013 interest rate spread decreased to 3.32% from 3.39% for the first quarter of 2012, a decrease of 7 basis points.

Table of Contents

Total interest and dividend income decreased $585,000, or 11.7%, between the two periods primarily due to a decrease in interest earned on loans and securities. Interest earned on loans decreased $423,000, or 9.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 due to a decrease in the average yield earned on loans, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of loans. Average loans increased 2.1% to $356.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $348.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, while the yield earned on loans decreased to 4.65% for 2013 from 5.23% for 2012. Interest earned on securities decreased $159,000 due to the decrease in the average balance of securities to $21.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $36.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, partially offset by the 47 basis point increase in the average yield earned on securities, due to the maturity of a low yielding short-term U.S. Treasury security purchased during the first quarter of 2012. Interest earned on other-interest earning assets decreased slightly by $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from the three months ended March 31, 2012, due to the decrease in the average balance of other interest-earning assets.

Total interest expense decreased $424,000 to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, due to a 38 basis point decrease in the total average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, including an 8 basis point decrease in the total average cost of interest-bearing deposits. The reductions in interest expense related to interest-bearing deposits were seen in demand deposit accounts (a decrease of $7,000, and 5 basis points in the average cost), money market accounts (a decrease of $4,000, and 2 basis points in the average cost), and certificate of deposit accounts (a decrease of $25,000, and 21 basis points in the average cost), partially offset by an increase in savings accounts (an increase of $5,000, and 5 basis points in the average cost). The cost of total borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $738,000 and decreased $393,000, or 34.7%, from the three months ended March 31, 2012, due to a $38.0 million decrease in the average balance to $96.0 million from $134.0 million, and a 30 basis point decrease in the average cost.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rates (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). Changes due to both volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to the volume and rate changes. The net column represents the sum of the prior columns.

Provision for Loan Losses . The Company’s management reviews the level of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and establishes the provision for loan losses based upon the volume and types of lending, delinquency levels, loss experience, the amount of impaired and classified loans, economic conditions and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio. There was no loan loss provision for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to $281,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The provision for the first quarter of 2013 decreased compared to the provision for the first quarter of 2012, due to changes in the loan portfolio mix, a decrease in non-performing loans as a result of loan payoffs and a decrease in charge-offs, offset by loan growth and an increase in allocated reserves for loans that have been restructured. At March 31, 2013 there were $21.8 million of classified and criticized loans compared to $21.3 million of such loans at December 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013, loans classified as special mention totaled $11.5 million, which consisted of commercial and multi-family real estate mortgages, compared to $10.4 million at December 31, 2012. Loans classified as substandard, including all impaired loans, totaled $10.3 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $10.9 million at December 31, 2012. Total classified and criticized loans represent 6.0% of the Company’s total gross loans at March 31, 2013, compared to 5.0% at March 31, 2012. There were no changes in the methodology of calculating the allowance for loan losses from the first quarter of 2012 through the first quarter of 2013. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.10%, 1.12% and 1.03% for the periods ended March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively.

Non-performing assets were $1.9 million at March 31, 2013, a decrease of $273,000, from December 31, 2012. There were $3.6 million of non-performing assets at March 31, 2012. The decrease in non-performing loans is a result of loan payoffs.

Net loan charge-offs totaling $48,000 and $311,000 were recognized during the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Non-interest Income . Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2013 totaled $521,000, a decrease of $22,000, or 4.1%, compared to the first quarter of 2012. The decrease in non-interest income between the periods is primarily due to a $23,000 decrease in net fees earned on checking accounts and a $5,000 decrease in bank-owned life insurance income, partially offset by a $6,000 increase in miscellaneous income.

Non-interest Expense . Total non-interest expense increased to $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $3.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $299,000, or 9.2%. The increase between periods is attributable primarily to expenses of $530,000 related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into by the Company on March 5, 2013. In addition, there were smaller increases in occupancy and equipment expense and data processing fees, and decreases in salaries and employee benefits, professional fees, marketing costs, FDIC insurance and other general and administrative costs. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense is due to a stormier winter during 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, which resulted in an increase of operating costs associated with the maintenance of the Bank’s branches. The decrease in salaries and benefits is primarily due to a reduction in pension costs and the conclusion of the stock-based compensation expense amortization in 2012 associated with option grants and restricted stock awards. The decrease in professional fees is due to the reduction in annual audit expenses. The decrease in marketing costs is the result of a continued effort by management to control advertising and marketing expenses. The decrease in FDIC insurance is due to the decrease in consolidated total assets less tangible equity in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012, resulting in a lower expense in deposit insurance coverage.

Income Taxes . The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $247,000 compared to $187,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 was 63.7%, versus 31.7% for the 2012 period. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to $360,000 of non-tax deductible merger-related expenses recorded in the first quarter of 2013 as a result of the Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into by the Company on March 5, 2013.

Liquidity Management . Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of investment securities and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $20.3 million. On March 31, 2013, we had $76.3 million of borrowings outstanding with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston and we had the ability to borrow an additional $78.9 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.

At March 31, 2013, we had $27.5 million in loan commitments outstanding, which consisted of $7.3 million of real estate loan commitments, $14.1 million in unused equity loans and lines of credit, $2.9 million in construction loan commitments and $2.4 million in commercial lines of credit commitments. Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2013 totaled $37.4 million, or 50.8% of certificates of deposit. This percentage of certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflects customers’ hesitancy to invest their funds for long periods in the recent interest rate environment. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before March 31, 2013. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

Capital Management. At March 31, 2013, we are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At March 31, 2013, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements. We are considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements . In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our consolidated financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Qualitative Aspects of Market Risk. The Company’s most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. We manage the interest rate sensitivity of our interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets in an effort to minimize the adverse effects of changes in the interest rate environment. Deposit accounts typically react more quickly to changes in market interest rates than mortgage loans because of the shorter maturities of deposits. As a result, sharp increases in interest rates may adversely affect our earnings while decreases in interest rates may beneficially affect our earnings. To reduce the potential volatility of our earnings, we have sought to improve the match between asset and liability maturities and rates, while maintaining an acceptable interest rate spread. Our strategy for managing interest rate risk emphasizes: adjusting the maturities of borrowings; adjusting the investment portfolio mix and duration; and periodically selling fixed-rate mortgage loans.

Table of Contents

We have an Asset Liability Management Committee to communicate, coordinate and control all aspects involving asset/liability management. The committee establishes and monitors the volume, maturities, pricing and mix of assets and funding sources with the objective of managing assets and funding sources to provide results that are consistent with liquidity, growth, risk limits and profitability goals.

Quantitative Aspects of Market Risk. We use an interest rate sensitivity analysis to review our level of interest rate risk. This analysis measures interest rate risk by computing changes in net economic value of equity (EVE) of our cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. Net EVE represents the market value of portfolio equity and is equal to the market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities, with adjustments made for off-balance sheet items. This analysis assesses the risk of loss in market risk sensitive instruments in the event of a sudden and sustained 100 to 400 basis point increase or 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates with no effect given to any steps that we might take to counter the effect of that interest rate movement. We measure interest rate risk by modeling the changes in EVE over a variety of interest rate scenarios.

The following table presents the change in our net EVE at February 28, 2013 (the most current information available), that would occur in the event of an immediate change in interest rates based on OCC assumptions, with no effect given to any steps that we might take to counteract that change. The Bank expects that its EVE at March 31, 2013 is consistent with the table below.

The OCC uses certain assumptions in assessing the interest rate risk of savings associations. These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and the market values of certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios, among others. As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table.

Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
