Forward Looking Statements

Except for the historical information contained herein, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. Actual performance and results of operations may differ materially from those projected or suggested in the forward-looking statements due to certain risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, (i) the fact that the Company’s success is dependent to a significant extent upon general economic conditions in New England, (ii) the fact that the Company’s earnings depend to a great extent upon the level of net interest income (the difference between interest income earned on loans and investments and the interest expense paid on deposits and other borrowings) generated by the Bank and thus the Bank’s results of operations may be adversely affected by increases or decreases in interest rates, (iii) the fact that the banking business is highly competitive and the profitability of the Company depends upon the Bank’s ability to attract loans and deposits within its market area, where the Bank competes with a variety of traditional banking and other institutions such as credit unions and finance companies, and (iv) the fact that a significant portion of the Company’s loan portfolio is comprised of commercial loans, exposing the Company to the risks inherent in loans based upon analyses of credit risk, the value of underlying collateral, including real estate, and other more intangible factors, which are considered in making commercial loans. Accordingly, the Company’s profitability may be negatively impacted by errors in risk analyses, and by loan defaults, and the ability of certain borrowers to repay such loans may be adversely affected by any downturn in general economic conditions. These factors, as well as general economic and market conditions, may materially and adversely affect the market price of shares of the Company’s common stock. Because of these and other factors, past financial performance should not be considered an indicator of future performance. The forward-looking statements contained herein represent the Company’s judgment as of the date of this Form 10-Q, and the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on such statements.

Century Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Note 1. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Century Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Century Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”). The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Century Subsidiary Investments, Inc. (“CSII”), Century Subsidiary Investments, Inc. II (“CSII II”), Century Subsidiary Investments, Inc. III (“CSII III”) and Century Financial Services Inc. (“CFSI”). CSII, CSII II, and CSII III are engaged in buying, selling and holding investment securities. CFSI has the power to engage in financial agency, securities brokerage, and investment and financial advisory services and related securities credit. The Company also owns 100% of Century Bancorp Capital Trust II (“CBCT II”). The entity is an unconsolidated subsidiary of the Company.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company provides a full range of banking services to individual, business and municipal customers in Massachusetts. As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to the regulation and supervision of the Federal Reserve Board. The Bank, a state chartered financial institution, is subject to supervision and regulation by applicable state and federal banking agencies, including the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks. The Bank is also subject to various requirements and restrictions under federal and state law, including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be granted and the interest that may be charged thereon, and limitations on the types of investments that may be made and the types of services that may be offered. Various consumer laws and regulations also affect the operations of the Bank. In addition to the impact of regulation, commercial banks are affected significantly by the actions of the Federal Reserve Board as it attempts to control the money supply and credit availability in order to influence the economy. All aspects of the Company’s business are highly competitive. The Company faces aggressive competition from other lending institutions and from numerous other providers of financial services. The Company has one reportable operating segment.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the banking industry. 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. The Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Material estimates that are susceptible to change in the near term relate to the allowance for loan losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate based on independent appraisals and review of other factors, including historical charge-off rates with additional allocations based on risk factors for each category and general economic factors. While management uses available information to recognize loan losses, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Certain reclassifications are made to prior-year amounts whenever necessary to conform with the current-year presentation.

During the third quarter of 2013, securities available-for-sale with an amortized cost of $1,012,370,000 were transferred to securities held-to-maturity at their fair value of $987,037,000 in response to rising interest rates. Rising interest rates have the potential to increase unrealized losses on the available-for-sale portfolio. The transfer was implemented to lessen the effects of rising interest rates.

Included in U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprise Securities and U.S. Government Agency and Sponsored Enterprise Mortgage-Backed Securities are securities at fair value pledged to secure public deposits and repurchase agreements amounting to $256,228,000 and $301,038,000 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Also included in securities available-for-sale are securities pledged for borrowing at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston amounting to $22,268,000 and $24,810,000 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company realized gross gains of $118,000 from the proceeds of $21,215,000 from the sales of available-for-sale securities for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Debt securities of Government Sponsored Enterprises primarily refer to debt securities of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The weighted average remaining life of investment securities available-for-sale at June 30, 2015 was 3.7 years. The contractual maturities, which were used in the table above, of mortgage-backed securities, will differ from the actual maturities, due to the ability of the issuers to prepay underlying obligations.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, management concluded that the unrealized losses of its investment securities are temporary in nature since they are not related to the underlying credit quality of the issuers, and the Company does not intend to sell these debt securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of its remaining amortized cost. In making its other-than-temporary impairment evaluation, the Company considered that the principal and interest on these securities are from issuers that are investment grade. The change in the unrealized losses on the state and municipal securities and the nonagency mortgage-backed securities was primarily caused by changes in credit spreads and liquidity issues in the marketplace.

The unrealized loss on U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises and U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises Mortgage Backed Securities related primarily to interest rates and not credit quality and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until recovery of fair value, which may be maturity. The Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

In evaluating the underlying credit quality of a security, management considers several factors such as the credit rating of the obligor and the issuer, if applicable. Internal reviews of issuer financial statements are performed as deemed necessary. In the case of privately issued mortgage-backed securities, the performance of the underlying loans is analyzed as deemed necessary to determine the estimated future cash flows of the securities. Factors considered include the level of subordination, current and estimated future default rates, current and estimated prepayment rates, estimated loss severity rates, geographic concentrations and origination dates of underlying loans. In the case of marketable equity securities, the severity of the unrealized loss, the length of time the unrealized loss has existed, and the issuer’s financial performance are considered.

The following table shows the temporarily impaired securities of the Company’s available-for-sale portfolio at June 30, 2015. This table shows the unrealized market loss of securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or less and a continuous loss position for 12 months and longer. There are 5 and 14 securities that are temporarily impaired for less than 12 months and for 12 months or longer, respectively, out of a total of 285 holdings at June 30, 2015.

Also included are securities pledged for borrowing at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston at fair value amounting to $411,957,000 and $458,782,000 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, all mortgage-backed securities are obligations of U.S. Government Agencies and Government Sponsored Enterprises. Government Sponsored Enterprises primarily refer to debt securities of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The weighted average remaining life of investment securities held-to-maturity at June 30, 2015 was 4.5 years. Included in the weighted average remaining life calculation at June 30, 2015 were $202,373,000 of U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises obligations that are callable at the discretion of the issuer. The actual maturities, which were used in the table above, of mortgage-backed securities, will differ from the contractual maturities, due to the ability of the issuers to prepay underlying obligations.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, management concluded that the unrealized losses of its investment securities are temporary in nature since they are not related to the underlying credit quality of the issuers, and the Company does not intend to sell these debt securities and it is not likely that it will be required to sell these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of their remaining amortized costs. In making its other-than-temporary impairment evaluation, the Company considered the fact that the principal and interest on these securities are from issuers that are investment grade.

The unrealized loss on U.S. Government Agency and Sponsored Enterprises Mortgage-Backed Securities related primarily to interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell any of these securities and it is not likely that it will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

In evaluating the underlying credit quality of a security, management considers several factors such as the credit rating of the obligor and the issuer, if applicable. Internal reviews of issuer financial statements are performed as deemed necessary.

The following table shows the temporarily impaired securities of the Company’s held-to-maturity portfolio at June 30, 2015. This table shows the unrealized market loss of securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or less and a continuous loss position for 12 months and longer. There are 98 and 22 securities that are temporarily impaired for less than 12 months and for 12 months or longer, respectively, out of a total of 352 holdings at June 30, 2015.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company enhanced its approach to the development of the historical loss factors on certain loans within the portfolio. This was done in response to the changing composition of the portfolio. In recent quarters, the Company has increased its exposure to larger loans to larger institutions which receive credit ratings. The Company currently has limited loss experience with these types of loans. There is, however, a great deal of default and loss data available on these types of loans from the credit rating agencies. As of June 30, 2015, the Company incorporated this information into the development of the historical loss rates for these loan types. Credit ratings issued by national organizations were utilized as credit quality indicators as presented in the following table at June 30, 2015.

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, the Company measures impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, the Company measures impairment based on a loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Loans are charged-off when management believes that the collectability of the loan’s principal is not probable. The specific factors that

 

Page 17 of 41


Table of Contents

management considers in making the determination that the collectability of the loan’s principal is not probable include; the delinquency status of the loan, the fair value of the collateral, if secured, and the financial strength of the borrower and/or guarantors. For collateral dependent loans, the amount of the recorded investment in a loan that exceeds the fair value of the collateral is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses in lieu of an allocation of a specific allowance amount when such an amount has been identified definitively as uncollectible. The Company’s policy for recognizing interest income on impaired loans is contained within Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Note 6. Earnings per Share (“EPS”)

Class A and Class B shares participate equally in undistributed earnings. Under the Company’s Articles of Organization, the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends per share equal to at least 200% of dividends paid, if any, from time to time, on each share of Class B Common Stock.

Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents; basic EPS excludes all common stock equivalents. The only common stock equivalents for the Company are the stock options discussed below. The dilutive effect of these stock options for three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was an increase of 1,327 and 1,452 shares, respectively. There were no stock options outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Note 7. Employee Benefits

The Company provides pension benefits to its employees under a noncontributory, defined benefit plan which is funded on a current basis in compliance with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and recognizes costs over the estimated employee service period.

The Company also has a Supplemental Executive Insurance/Retirement Plan (the “Supplemental Plan”) which is limited to certain officers and employees of the Company. The Supplemental Plan is accrued on a current basis and recognizes costs over the estimated employee service period.

Executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries who have at least one year of service may participate in the Supplemental Plan. The Supplemental Plan is voluntary and participants are required to contribute to its cost. Life insurance policies, which are owned by the Company, are purchased covering the lives of each participant.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (formerly SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,”) which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities carried at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The three broad levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

Level I – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The type of financial instruments included in Level I are highly liquid cash instruments with quoted prices such as G-7 government, agency securities, listed equities and money market securities, as well as listed derivative instruments.

Level II – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these financial instruments include cash instruments for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, derivative instruments whose fair value have been derived using a model where inputs to the model are directly observable in the market, or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, and instruments that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed. Instruments which are generally included in this category are corporate bonds and loans, mortgage whole loans, municipal bonds and OTC derivatives.

Level III – Instruments that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These financial instruments do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Instruments that are included in this category generally include certain commercial mortgage loans, certain private equity investments, distressed debt, non-investment grade residual interests in securitizations, as well as certain highly structured OTC derivative contracts.

Impaired loan balances represent those collateral dependent loans where management has estimated the credit loss by comparing the loan’s carrying value against the expected realizable fair value of the collateral. Fair value is generally determined through a review process that includes independent appraisals, discounted cash flows, or other external assessments of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable. The Company discounts the fair values, as appropriate, based on management’s observations of the local real estate market for loans in this category.

Appraisals, discounted cash flows and real estate tax assessments are reviewed quarterly. There is no specific policy regarding how frequently appraisals will be updated. Adjustments are made to appraisals and real estate tax assessments based on management’s estimate of changes in real estate values. Within the past twelve months there have been no updated appraisals, however, all impaired loans have been reviewed during the past quarter using either a discounted cash flow analysis, appraisal of collateral or other type of real estate tax assessment. The types of adjustments that are made to specific provisions (credits) relate to impaired loans recognized for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 amounted to $558,000 and $594,000, respectively.

There were no transfers between level 1, 2 and 3 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis during the six month period ended June 30, 2015.

The following table presents additional information about assets measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value (dollars in thousands). Management continues to monitor the assumptions used to value the assets listed below.

Note 9. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of its financial instruments. Excluded from this disclosure are all nonfinancial instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

The assumptions used below are expected to approximate those that market participants would use in valuing these financial instruments.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about the financial instrument, including estimates of timing, amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer. Such estimates do not consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In some cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets. In addition, the disclosed fair value may not be realized in the immediate settlement of the financial instrument. Care should be exercised in deriving conclusions about our business, its value or financial position based on the fair value information of financial instruments presented below.

Securities held-to-maturity: The fair values of these securities were based on quoted market prices, where available, as provided by third-party investment portfolio pricing vendors. If quoted market prices were not available, fair values provided by the vendors were based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments in active markets and/or based on a matrix pricing methodology which employs The Bond Market Association’s standard calculations for cash flow and price/yield analysis, live benchmark bond pricing and terms/condition data available from major pricing sources. Management regards the inputs and methods used by third party pricing vendors to be “Level 2 inputs and methods” as defined in the “fair value hierarchy” provided by FASB.

Loans: For variable-rate loans, that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying amounts. The fair value of other loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Incremental credit risk for nonperforming loans has been considered.

Time deposits: The fair value of time deposits was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach that applies prevailing market interest rates for similar maturity instruments. The fair values of the Company’s time deposit liabilities do not take into consideration the value of the Company’s long-term relationships with depositors, which may have significant value.

Other borrowed funds: The fair value of other borrowed funds is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate used is estimated based on the rates currently offered for other borrowed funds of similar remaining maturities.

Subordinated debentures: The fair value of subordinated debentures is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate used is estimated based on the rates currently offered for other subordinated debentures of similar remaining maturities.

The following presents (in thousands) the carrying amount, estimated fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. This table excludes financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value. Financial assets for which the fair value approximates carrying value include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, FHLBB stock and accrued interest receivable. Financial liabilities for which the fair value approximates carrying value include non-maturity deposits, short-term borrowings and accrued interest payable.

Note 10. Recent Accounting Developments

In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-17, “Business Combinations”. (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This ASU was issued to provide an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. An acquired entity may elect the option to apply pushdown accounting in the reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurs. An acquired entity should determine whether to elect to apply pushdown accounting for each individual change-in-control event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. If pushdown accounting is not applied in the reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurs, an acquired entity will have the option to elect to apply pushdown accounting in a subsequent reporting period to the acquired entity’s most recent change-in-control event. An election to apply pushdown accounting in a reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurred should be considered a change in accounting principle in accordance with Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. If pushdown accounting is applied to an individual change-in-control event, that election is irrevocable. The amendments in this Update are effective on November 18, 2014. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, “Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual” (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. This ASU eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. This Update will align more closely GAAP income statement presentation guidance with International Audit Standards (IAS) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, which prohibits the presentation and disclosure of extraordinary items. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-04, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits” (Topic 715): Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets. For an entity with a fiscal year-end that does not coincide with a month-end, the amendments in this update provide a practical expedient that permits the entity to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end that is closest to the entity’s fiscal year-end and apply that practical expedient consistently from year to year. The practical expedient should be

applied consistently to all plans if an entity has more than one plan. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Overview

Century Bancorp, Inc. (together with its bank subsidiary, unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company”) is a Massachusetts state-chartered bank holding company headquartered in Medford, Massachusetts. The Company is a Massachusetts corporation formed in 1972 and has one banking subsidiary (the “Bank”): Century Bank and Trust Company formed in 1969. At June 30, 2015, the Company had total assets of $3.9 billion. Currently, the Company operates 27 banking offices in 20 cities and towns in Massachusetts, ranging from Braintree in the south to Andover in the north. The Bank’s customers consist primarily of small and medium-sized businesses and retail customers in these communities and surrounding areas, as well as local governments and institutions throughout Massachusetts.

The Company’s results of operations are largely dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on loans and securities and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The results of operations are also affected by the level of income and fees from loans, deposits, as well as operating expenses, the provision for loan losses, the impact of federal and state income taxes and the relative levels of interest rates and economic activity.

The Company offers a wide range of services to commercial enterprises, state and local governments and agencies, non-profit organizations and individuals. It emphasizes service to small and medium sized businesses and retail customers in its market area. The Company makes commercial loans, real estate and construction loans and consumer loans, and accepts savings, time, and demand deposits. In addition, the Company offers to its corporate and institutional customers automated lock box collection services, cash management services and account reconciliation services, and actively promotes the marketing of these services to the municipal market. Also, the Company provides full service securities brokerage services through a program called Investment Services at Century Bank, which is supported by LPL Financial, a third party full-service securities brokerage business.

The Company has client engagements in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island with approximately 245 government entities throughout the region.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $5,925,000, or $1.06 per Class A share diluted, compared to net income of $5,599,000, or $1.01 per Class A share diluted, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $10,884,000, or $1.95 per Class A share diluted, compared to net income of $10,531,000, or $1.89 per Class A share diluted, for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Earnings per share (EPS) for each class of stock and time period is as follows:

Net interest income totaled $34.1 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $33.3 million for the same period in 2014. The 2.6% increase in net interest income is primarily due to an increase in average earning assets. The net interest margin decreased from 2.23% on a fully taxable equivalent basis in 2014 to 2.16% on the same basis for 2015. This was primarily the result of a decrease in rates on earning assets. The average balances of earning assets increased by 7.2% combined with a similar increase in average deposits. Also, interest expense increased 3.3% as a result of an increase in deposit balances.

The trends in the net interest margin are illustrated in the graph below:

 

LOGO

The primary factor accounting for the decrease in the net interest margin for 2013 was an additional large influx of deposits. Management invested the funds in shorter term securities. The net interest margin has declined slightly throughout 2014 and the first quarter of 2015. During the second quarter of 2015 the net interest margin increased primarily as a result of an increase in higher yielding assets. This was primarily the result of lower yielding interest-bearing deposits in other banks invested in securities held-to-maturity.

While management will continue its efforts to improve the net interest margin, there can be no assurance that certain factors beyond its control, such as the prepayment of loans and changes in market interest rates, will continue to positively impact the net interest margin.

The provision for loan losses decreased by $450,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $450,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 primarily as a result of changes in portfolio composition. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company enhanced its approach to the development of the historical loss factors on certain loans within the portfolio. This was done in response to the changing composition of the portfolio. Non-performing assets totaled $4.1 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $4.1 million at December 31, 2014.

For the first six months of 2015, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 4.0% compared to 4.7% for last year’s corresponding period. The effective income tax rate decreased primarily as a result of an increase in tax-exempt income.

During December 2013, the Company entered into a lease agreement to open a branch located in Woburn, Massachusetts. The branch opened on November 3, 2014.

During March 2014, the Company entered into a lease agreement to open a branch located on Boylston Street in Boston, Massachusetts. This property is leased from an entity affiliated with Marshall M. Sloane, Chairman of the Board of the Company. This agreement was approved by the Board of Directors in the absence of the Chairman of the Board. The branch opened on April 22, 2015. The deposits from the Kenmore Square, Boston Massachusetts branch, which closed on September 30, 2014, were moved to the new Boylston Street branch.

Recent Market Developments

The financial services industry continues to face challenges in the aftermath of the recent national and global economic crisis. Since June 2009, the U.S. economy has been recovering from the most severe recession and financial crisis since the Great Depression. There have been some improvements in private sector employment, industrial production and U.S. exports; nevertheless, the pace of economic recovery has been slow. Financial markets have improved since the depths of the crisis but are still unsettled and volatile. There is continued concern about the U.S. economic outlook.

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) became law. The Act was intended to address many issues arising in the recent financial crisis and is exceedingly broad in scope, affecting many aspects of bank and financial market regulation. The Act requires, or permits by implementing regulation, enhanced prudential standards for banks and bank holding companies inclusive of capital, leverage, liquidity, concentration and exposure measures. In addition, traditional bank regulatory principles such as restrictions on transactions with affiliates and insiders were enhanced. The Act also contains reforms of consumer mortgage lending practices and creates a Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, which is granted broad authority over consumer financial practices of banks and others. It is expected as the specific new or incremental requirements applicable to the Company become effective that the costs and difficulties of remaining compliant with all such requirements will increase. The Act broadens the base for FDIC assessments to average consolidated assets less tangible equity of financial institutions and also permanently raises the current standard maximum FDIC deposit insurance amount to $250,000. The Act extended unlimited deposit insurance on non-interest bearing transaction accounts through December 31, 2012. In addition, the Act added a new Section 13 to the Bank Holding Company Act, the so-called “Volcker Rule,” (the “Rule”) which generally restricts certain banking entities such as the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates, from engaging in proprietary trading activities and owning equity in or sponsoring any private equity or hedge fund. The Rule became effective July 21, 2012. The final implementing regulations for the Rule were issued by various regulatory agencies in December, 2013 and under an extended conformance regulation compliance must be achieved by July 21, 2015. The conformance period for investments in and relationships with certain “legacy covered funds” has been extended to July 21, 2016. Under the Rule, the Company may be restricted from engaging in proprietary trading, investing in third party hedge or private equity funds or sponsoring new funds unless it qualifies for an exemption from the rule. The Company has little involvement in prohibited proprietary trading or investment activities in covered funds and the Company does not expect that complying with the requirements of the Rule will have any material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.

Federal banking regulators have issued risk-based capital guidelines, which assign risk factors to asset categories and off-balance-sheet items. Also, the Basel Committee has issued capital standards entitled “Basel III: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems” (“Basel III”). The Federal Reserve Board has finalized its rule implementing the Basel III regulatory capital framework. The rule that came into effect in January 2015 sets the Basel III minimum regulatory capital requirements for all organizations. It includes a new common equity Tier I ratio of 4.5 percent of risk-weighted assets, raises the minimum Tier I capital ratio from 4 percent to 6 percent of risk-weighted assets and would set a new conservation buffer of 2.5 percent of risk-weighted assets. The implementation of the framework did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Financial Condition

Loans

On June 30, 2015, total loans outstanding were $1.5 billion, up by $213.3 million from the total on December 31, 2014. At June 30, 2015, commercial real estate loans accounted for 46.2% and residential real estate loans, including home equity loans, accounted for 26.9% of total loans.

Commercial and industrial loans increased to $291.1 million at June 30, 2015 from $149.7 million at December 31, 2014, primarily as a result of an increase in commercial and industrial financing. Construction loans increased to $26.5 million at June 30, 2015 from $22.7 million on December 31, 2014, primarily as a result of an increase in construction financing. Municipal loans increased from $41.9 million to $87.2 million, primarily as a result of loan originations.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan loss at June 30, 2015 was $22.2 million as compared to $22.3 million at December 31, 2014. The change in the allowance for loan losses was primarily due to changes in portfolio composition. The level of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.44% at June 30, 2015 and 1.68% at December 31, 2014.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company enhanced its approach to the development of the historical loss factors on certain loans within the portfolio. This was done in response to the changing composition of the portfolio. In recent quarters, the Company has increased its exposure to larger loans to larger institutions which receive credit ratings. The Company currently has limited loss experience with these types of loans. There is, however, a great deal of default and loss data available on these types of loans from the credit rating agencies. As of June 30, 2015, the Company incorporated this information into the development of the historical loss rates for these loan types. Management believes incorporating this data results a more accurate indication of historical losses. Credit ratings issued by national organizations were utilized as credit quality indicators as presented in the following table at June 30, 2015.

In evaluating the allowance for loan losses the Company considered the following categories to be higher risk:

 

    Construction loans: The outstanding loan balance of construction loans at June 30, 2015 is $26.5 million as compared to $22.7 million at December 31, 2014. Based on the general local conditions facing construction, management closely monitors all construction loans and considers this type of loans to be higher risk.

 

   

Small business loans: The outstanding loan balances of small business loans is $37.8 million at June 30, 2015 as compared to $35.3 million at December 31, 2014. These are considered higher risk loans because small businesses have been negatively impacted by the current economic conditions. In a liquidation

scenario, the collateral, if any, is often not sufficient to fully recover the outstanding balance of the loan. As a result, the Company often seeks additional collateral prior to renewing maturing small business loans. In addition, the payment status of the loans is monitored closely in order to initiate collection efforts in a timely fashion.

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

The Company may experience increased levels of nonaccrual loans if borrowers are negatively impacted by future negative economic conditions. Management continually monitors trends in the loan portfolio to determine the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses. At the current time, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.

Nonperforming Assets

The following table sets forth information regarding nonperforming assets held by the Bank at the dates indicated:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents decreased during the first six months of 2015. This was primarily the result of a decrease in lower yielding interest-bearing deposits in other banks during the period. Management invested excess cash and cash equivalents in higher yielding securities and loans during the period.

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments remained stable during the six-month period.

 

Page 32 of 41


Table of Contents

Investments

Management continually evaluates its investment alternatives in order to properly manage the overall balance sheet mix. The timing of purchases, sales and reinvestments, if any, will be based on various factors including expectation of

movements in market interest rates, deposit flows and loan demand. Notwithstanding these events, it is the intent of management to grow the earning asset base mainly through loan originations while funding this growth through a mix of retail deposits, FHLB advances, and retail repurchase agreements.

Securities Available-for-Sale (at Fair Value)

The securities available-for-sale portfolio totaled $440.1 million at June 30, 2015, a decrease of 1.9% from December 31, 2014. During the third quarter of 2013, $987.0 million of securities available-for-sale with unrealized losses of $25.3 million were transferred to securities held-to-maturity. This was done in response to rising interest rates. Purchases of securities available-for-sale totaled $115.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The portfolio is concentrated in United States Government Sponsored Enterprises, Mortgage-backed Securities and Obligations issued by States and Political Subdivisions and had an estimated weighted average remaining life of 3.7 years.

The majority of the Company’s securities AFS are classified as Level 2. The fair values of these securities are generally obtained from a pricing service, which provides the Company with a description of the inputs generally utilized for each type of security. These inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data. Market indicators and industry and economic events are also monitored.

Securities available-for-sale totaling $152.6 million, or 3.9% of assets are classified as Level 3. These securities are generally failed auction rate securities, equity investments or obligations of states and political subdivisions with no readily determinable fair value. Failed auction rate securities were reclassified to Level 3 during the first quarter of 2009 due to the lack of an active market. Fair values for Level 3 securities are, generally, arrived at based upon a review of market trades of similar instruments, if any, as well as an analysis of the security based upon market liquidity and prevailing market interest rates.

During the first six months of 2015, net unrealized gains on the securities available-for-sale decreased to $15,000 from $180,000 at December 31, 2014. Unrealized gains on the available-for-sale portfolio decreased mainly as a result of a higher proportion of short-term obligations issued by states and political subdivisions that are carried at par value.

Securities Held-to-Maturity (at Amortized Cost)

The securities held-to-maturity portfolio totaled $1.7 billion on June 30, 2015, an increase of 19.7% from the total on December 31, 2014. During the third quarter of 2013, $987.0 million of securities available-for-sale with unrealized losses of $25.3 million were transferred to securities held-to-maturity. This was done in response to rising interest rates. The portfolio is concentrated in United States Government Sponsored Enterprises and Mortgage-backed Securities and had an estimated weighted average remaining life of 4.5 years.

Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston Stock

The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”) system, is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the FHLBB. Based on redemption provisions, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost. At its discretion, the FHLBB may declare dividends on the stock. The Company reviews for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis in the stock. During the first six months of 2015, the Company purchased $2.8 million and had no redemptions of FHLBB stock. As of June 30, 2015, no impairment has been recognized.

Deposits and Borrowed Funds

On June 30, 2015, deposits totaled $2.9 billion, representing a 4.2% increase from December 31, 2014. Total deposits increased primarily as a result of increases in demand deposits, money market accounts, and savings and NOW deposits. Money market and Savings and NOW deposits increased as the Company continued to offer attractive rates for these types of deposits during the first six months of the year. Borrowed funds totaled $769.3 million compared to $607.9 million at December 31, 2014. Borrowed funds increased mainly as a result of borrowings to fund loan originations.

Stockholders’ Equity

At June 30, 2015, total equity was $204.4 million compared to $192.5 million at December 31, 2014. The Company’s equity increased primarily as a result of earnings and a decrease in other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, offset somewhat by dividends paid. Other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, decreased as a result of a decrease in unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale and securities transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity and amortization of the pension liability. During the third quarter of 2013, $987.0 million of securities available-for-sale with unrealized losses of $25.3 million were transferred to securities held-to-maturity. This was done in response to rising interest rates. The Company’s leverage ratio stood at 6.58% at June 30, 2015, compared to 6.91% at December 31, 2014. The decrease in the leverage ratio is primarily due to an increase in quarterly average assets, offset somewhat by an increase in stockholders’ equity. Book value as of June 30, 2015 was $36.71 per share compared to $34.57 at December 31, 2014.

Net Interest Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled $20.4 million compared to $19.2 million for the same period in 2014, an increase of $1.2 million or 6.3%. This increase in net interest income for the period is primarily due to an increase in interest earning assets, offset somewhat by a slight decrease in the net interest margin. The net interest margin decreased from 2.20% on a fully taxable equivalent basis in 2014 to 2.19% on the same basis for 2015. This was primarily the result of a slight decrease in rates on earning assets. Also, interest expense increased slightly as a result of an increase in deposit balances and there was a 6.7% increase in the average balances of earning assets, combined with a similar increase in average deposits.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled $39.4 million compared to $38.1 million for the same period in 2014, an increase of $1.3 million or 3.4%. This increase in net interest income for the period is primarily due to an increase in interest earning assets as well as a decrease in rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds. The net interest margin decreased from 2.23% on a fully taxable equivalent basis in 2014 to 2.16% on the same basis for 2015. This was primarily the result of a decrease in rates on earning assets. The average balances of earning assets increased by 7.2% combined with a similar increase in average deposits. Also, interest expense increased slightly as a result of an increase in deposit balances.

Provision for Loan Losses

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the loan loss provision was $0 compared to a provision of $450,000 for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the loan loss provision was $200,000 compared to a provision of $1.1 million for the same period last year. The decrease in the provision was primarily as a result of changes in portfolio composition. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company enhanced its approach to the development of the historical loss factors on certain loans within the portfolio. This was done in response to the changing composition of the portfolio.

Non-Interest Income and Expense

Other operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased by $595,000 from the same period last year to $4.2 million. This was mainly attributable to an increase in gains on sales of mortgage loans increase of $337,000 from the same period last year. Also, other income increased by $175,000. This was mainly attributable to an increase in customer fees. Gains on sales of investments increased by $118,000. Lockbox fees increased by $43,000 as a result of increased customer volume. Offsetting some of the increases were decreases in service charges on deposit accounts. This was mainly attributable to a decrease in overdraft fees.

Other operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $630,000 to $7.7 million from $7.1 million for the same period last year. This was mainly attributable to an increase in gains on sales of mortgage loans increase of $429,000 from the same period last year. Also, other income increased by $228,000. This was mainly attributable to an increase in customer fees. Gains on sales of investments increased by $118,000. Lockbox fees increased by $54,000 as a result of increased customer volume. Offsetting some of the increases were decreases in service charges on deposit accounts. This was mainly attributable to a decrease in overdraft fees.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, operating expenses increased by $1.7 million or 11.9% to $15.8 million, from the same period last year. The increase in operating expenses for the quarter was mainly attributable to an increase of $704,000 in salaries and employee benefits, $653,000 in other expenses, $195,000 increase in occupancy costs, $74,000 in equipment costs, and $51,000 in FDIC assessments. Salaries and employee benefits increased mainly as a result of increases in pension costs and merit increases. Other expenses increased mainly as a result of increases in marketing expenses. Occupancy costs increased mainly as a result of increased costs associated with branch expansion. Equipment costs increased mainly as a result of depreciation of capital improvements. FDIC assessments increased mainly as a result of an increase in the assessment base.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, operating expenses increased by $2.1 million or 7.3% to $30.3 million, from the same period last year. The increase in operating expenses for the period was mainly attributable to an increase of $963,000 in salaries and employee benefits, $566,000 in other expenses, $358,000 increase in occupancy costs, $95,000 in equipment costs, and $74,000 in FDIC assessments.

Income Taxes

For the second quarter of 2015, the Company’s income tax expense totaled $233,000 on pretax income of $6.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 3.8%. For last year’s corresponding quarter, the Company’s income tax expense totaled $231,000 on pretax income of $5.8 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 4.0%. For the first six months of 2015, the Company’s income tax expense totaled $448,000 on pretax income of $11.3 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 4.0%. For last year’s corresponding period, the Company’s income tax expense totaled $524,000 on pretax income of $11.1 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 4.7%. The decrease in the effective income tax rate, for both periods, was primarily the result of an increase in tax-exempt income.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities. To that end, management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. The Company’s profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial increase or decrease in interest rates may adversely impact the Company’s earnings to the extent that the interest rates tied to specific assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis. The Company monitors the impact of changes in interest rates on its net interest income using several tools. The Company’s primary objective in managing interest rate risk is to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on the Company’s net interest income and capital, while structuring the Company’s asset-liability structure to obtain the maximum yield-cost spread on that structure. Management believes that there has been no material changes in the interest rate risk reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information is contained in the Form 10-K within the Market Risk and Asset Liability Management section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with participation of the Company’s principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management, with participation of its principal executive and financial officers, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. The disclosure controls and procedures also effectively ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s filings and submissions with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is accumulated and reported to Company management (including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer) as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Company has evaluated its internal control over financial reporting and during the second quarter of 2015 there were no changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II – Other Information
