Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Business

First Connecticut Bancorp, Inc. is a Maryland-chartered bank holding company that wholly owns its only subsidiary, Farmington Bank (collectively with its subsidiary, the “Company”). Farmington Bank's main office is located in Farmington, Connecticut. Farmington Bank is a full-service, community bank with 23 branch locations throughout central Connecticut and western Massachusetts, offering commercial and residential lending as well as wealth management services. Farmington Bank's primary source of income is interest accrued on loans to customers, which include small and middle market businesses and individuals residing primarily in Connecticut and western Massachusetts. However, the Bank will selectively lend to borrowers in other northeastern states.

Wholly-owned subsidiaries of Farmington Bank are Farmington Savings Loan Servicing, Inc., a passive investment company that was established to service and hold loans collateralized by real property; Village Investments, Inc.; the Village Corp., Limited, and Village Square Holdings, Inc.; 28 Main Street Corp., is a subsidiary that was formed to hold residential other real estate owned and Village Management Corp., is a subsidiary that was formed to hold commercial other real estate owned, are presently inactive.

On June 21, 2013, the Company received regulatory approval to repurchase up to 1,676,452 shares, or 10% of its current outstanding common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had repurchased 147,100 of these shares at a cost of $2.4 million. Repurchased shares are held as treasury stock and are available for general corporate purposes. The Company has 610,645 shares remaining available to be repurchased at March 31, 2016.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s 10-K filed on March 11, 2016. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make extensive use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of condition and revenues and expenses for the interim period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, investment security other-than-temporary impairment judgments and investment security valuation.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Investment Securities

Marketable equity and debt securities are classified as either trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity (applies only to debt securities). Management determines the appropriate classifications of securities at the time of purchase. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had no debt or equity securities classified as trading. Held-to-maturity securities are debt securities for which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. All other securities not included in held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted into interest income over the term of the securities using the level yield method. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of equity, until realized. Further information relating to the fair value of securities can be found within Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("FASB ASC") 320- “Debt and Equity Securities”, a decline in market value of a debt security below amortized cost that is deemed other-than-temporary is charged to earnings for the credit related other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI"), resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security, while the non-credit related OTTI is recognized in other comprehensive income if there is no intent or requirement to sell the security. The securities portfolio is reviewed on a quarterly basis for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment. If an equity security is deemed other-than-temporarily impaired, the full impairment is considered to be credit-related and a charge to earnings would be recorded. Gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized at the time of sale on a specific identification basis.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value, as determined by aggregate outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to other noninterest income in the accompanying condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Gains or losses on sales of mortgage loans are recognized based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related mortgage loans sold on the trade date to net gain on loans sold in the accompanying condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Loans

The Company’s loan portfolio segments include residential real estate, commercial real estate, construction, installment, commercial, collateral, home equity lines of credit, demand, revolving credit and resort. Construction includes classes for commercial and residential construction.

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method. When loans are prepaid, sold or participated out, the unamortized portion is recognized as income or expense at that time.

First Connecticut Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Interest on loans is accrued and recognized in interest income based on contractual rates applied to principal amounts outstanding. Accrual of interest is discontinued, and previously accrued income is reversed, when loan payments are more than 90 days past due or when, in the judgment of management, collectability of the loan or loan interest becomes uncertain. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due (including arrearages) are reasonably assured of repayment within a reasonable period and there is a sustained period of repayment performance (generally a minimum of six months) by the borrower, in accordance with contractual terms involving payment of cash or cash equivalents. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual status. If a residential real estate, commercial real estate, construction, installment, commercial, collateral, home equity line of credit, demand, revolving credit and resort loan is on non-accrual status cash payments are applied towards the reduction of principal. If loans are considered impaired but accruing, cash payments are applied first to interest income and then as a reduction of principal as specified in the contractual agreement, unless the collection of the remaining principal amount due is considered doubtful.

The policy for determining past due or delinquency status for all loan portfolio segments is based on the number of days past due or the contractual terms of the loan. A loan is considered delinquent when the customer does not make their payments due according to their contractual terms. Generally, a loan can be demanded at any time if the loan is delinquent or if the borrower fails to meet any other agreed upon terms and conditions.

On a quarterly basis, our loan policy requires that we evaluate for impairment all commercial real estate, construction, commercial and resort loan segments that are classified as non-accrual, loans secured by real property in foreclosure or are otherwise likely to be impaired, non-accruing residential and installment loan segments greater than $100,000 and all troubled debt restructurings.

Nonperforming loans consist of non-accruing loans, non-accruing loans identified as trouble debt restructurings and loans past due more than 90 days and still accruing interest.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the statement of condition date. The allowance for loan losses consists of a formula allowance following FASB ASC 450 – “Contingencies” and FASB ASC 310 – “Receivables”. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance consists of general, allocated and unallocated components, as further described below. All reserves are available to cover any losses regardless of how they are allocated.

General component:

The general component of the allowance for loan losses is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors stratified by the following loan segments: residential real estate, commercial real estate, construction, installment, commercial, collateral, home equity line of credit, demand, revolving credit and resort. Construction loans include classes for commercial investment real estate construction, commercial owner occupied construction, residential development, residential subdivision construction and residential owner occupied construction loans. Management uses a rolling average of historical losses based on a time frame appropriate to capture relevant loss data for each loan segment. This historical loss factor is adjusted for the following qualitative factors: levels/trends in delinquencies and nonaccrual loans; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards and other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices; experience/ability/depth of lending management and staff; and national and local economic trends and conditions. There were no material changes in the Company’s policies or methodology pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

First Connecticut Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

Residential real estate – Residential real estate loans are generally originated in amounts up to 95.0% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of the property, with private mortgage insurance required on loans with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80.0%. The Company does not grant subprime loans. All loans in this segment are collateralized by owner-occupied residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. All residential mortgage loans are underwritten pursuant to secondary market underwriting guidelines which include minimum FICO standards. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Commercial real estate – Loans in this segment are primarily originated to finance income-producing properties throughout the northeastern states. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties may be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by increased vacancy rates, which in turn, may have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Management generally obtains rent rolls and other financial information, as appropriate on an annual basis and continually monitors the cash flows of these loans.

Construction loans – Loans in this segment include commercial construction loans, real estate subdivision development loans to developers, licensed contractors and builders for the construction and development of commercial real estate projects and residential properties. Construction lending contains a unique risk characteristic as loans are originated under market and economic conditions that may change between the time of origination and the completion and subsequent purchaser financing of the property. In addition, construction subdivision loans and commercial and residential construction loans to contractors and developers entail additional risks as compared to single-family residential mortgage lending to owner-occupants. These loans typically involve large loan balances concentrated in single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Real estate subdivision development loans to developers, licensed contractors and builders are generally speculative real estate development loans for which payment is derived from sale of the property. Credit risk may be affected by cost overruns, time to sell at an adequate price, and market conditions. Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than longer-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Residential construction credit quality may be impacted by the overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices.

Commercial – Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by assets of the business. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. A weakened economy, and resultant decreased consumer spending, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Home equity line of credit – Loans in this segment include home equity loans and lines of credit underwritten with a loan-to-value ratio generally limited to no more than 80%, including any first mortgage. Our home equity lines of credit have ten-year terms and adjustable rates of interest which are indexed to the prime rate. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, may have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Installment, Collateral, Demand, Revolving Credit and Resort – Loans in these segments include loans principally to customers residing in our primary market area with acceptable credit ratings. Our installment and collateral consumer loans generally consist of loans on new and used automobiles, loans collateralized by deposit accounts and unsecured personal loans. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, may have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Excluding collateral loans which are fully collateralized by a deposit account, repayment for loans in these segments is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The resort portfolio consists of a direct receivable loan outside the Northeast which is amortizing to its contractual obligations. The Company has exited the resort financing market with a residual portfolio remaining.

Allocated component:

The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial real estate, construction, commercial and resort loans by the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate; the fair value of the collateral, if applicable; or the observable market price for the loan. An allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential real estate loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are subject to a troubled debt restructuring agreement or they are nonaccrual loans with outstanding balances greater than $100,000.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Management updates the analysis quarterly. The assumptions used in appraisals are reviewed for appropriateness. Updated appraisals or valuations are obtained as needed or adjusted to reflect the estimated decline in the fair value based upon current market conditions for comparable properties.

The Company periodically may agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). All TDRs are classified as impaired.

Unallocated component:

An unallocated component is maintained, when needed, to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating allocated and general reserves in the portfolio. The Company’s Loan Policy allows management to utilize a high and low range of 0.0% to 5.0% of our total allowance for loan losses when establishing an unallocated allowance, when considered necessary. The unallocated allowance is used to provide for an unidentified loss that may exist in emerging problem loans that cannot be fully quantified or may be affected by conditions not fully understood as of the balance sheet date. There was no unallocated allowance at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Troubled Debt Restructuring

A loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower in modifying or renewing the loan the Company would not otherwise consider. In connection with troubled debt restructurings, terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with their current financial status, which may include a reduction in the interest rate to market rate or below, a change in the term or movement of past due amounts to the back-end of the loan or refinancing. A loan is placed on non-accrual status upon being restructured, even if it was not previously, unless the modified loan was current for the six months prior to its modification and we believe the loan is fully collectable in accordance with its new terms. The Company’s policy to restore a restructured loan to performing status is dependent on the receipt of regular payments, generally for a period of six months and one calendar year-end. All troubled debt restructurings are classified as impaired loans and are reviewed for impairment by management on a quarterly basis per Company policy.

Foreclosed Real Estate

Real estate acquired through foreclosure comprises properties acquired in partial or total satisfaction of problem loans. The properties are acquired through foreclosure proceedings or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. At the time these properties are foreclosed, the properties are initially recorded at the fair value at the date of foreclosure less estimated selling costs. Losses arising at the time of acquisition of such properties are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent loss provisions are charged to the foreclosed real estate valuation allowance and expenses incurred to maintain the properties are charged to noninterest expense. Properties are evaluated regularly to ensure the recorded amounts are supported by current fair values, and a charge to operations is recorded as necessary to reduce the carrying amount to fair value less estimated costs to dispose. Revenue and expense from the operation of other real estate owned and the provision to establish and adjust valuation allowances are included in noninterest expenses. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property are capitalized, subject to the limit of fair value of the collateral. In the condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, total prepaid expenses and other assets include foreclosed real estate of $447,000 and $279,000 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, with no specific valuation allowance. The recorded investment of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction totaled $4.6 million at March 31, 2016.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

The Company’s non-contributory defined-benefit pension plan and certain defined benefit postretirement plans were frozen as of February 28, 2013 and no additional benefits will accrue.

The Company has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan that provides benefits for substantially all employees hired before January 1, 2007 who meet certain requirements as to age and length of service. The benefits are based on years of service and average compensation, as defined in the Plan Document. The Company’s funding practice is to meet the minimum funding standards established by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

In addition to providing pension benefits, we provide certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Participants or eligible employees hired before January 1, 1993 become eligible for the benefits if they retire after reaching age 62 with fifteen or more years of service. A fixed percent of annual costs are paid depending on length of service at retirement. The Company accrues for the estimated costs of these other post-retirement benefits through charges to expense during the years that employees render service. The Company makes contributions to cover the current benefits paid under this plan. The Company believes the policy for determining pension and other post-retirement benefit expenses is critical because judgments are required with respect to the appropriate discount rate, rate of return on assets and other items. The Company reviews and updates the assumptions annually. If the Company’s estimate of pension and post-retirement expense is too low it may experience higher expenses in the future, reducing its net income. If the Company’s estimate is too high, it may experience lower expenses in the future, increasing its net income.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided for differences arising in the timing of income and expenses for financial reporting and for income tax purposes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides a deferred tax asset valuation allowance for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards when realization is determined not to be more likely than not.

FASB ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. Pursuant to FASB ASC 740-10, the Company examines its financial statements, its income tax provision and its federal and state income tax returns and analyzes its tax positions, including permanent and temporary differences, as well as the major components of income and expense to determine whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The Company recognizes interest and penalties arising from income tax settlements as part of its provision for income taxes.

Reclassifications

Amounts in prior period consolidated financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15 provides guidance in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2014-15 to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-16, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity” (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2014-16 clarifies how current U.S. GAAP should be interpreted in subjectively evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. Public business entities are required to implement ASU 2014-16 in fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-16 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, “Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items”, (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.” ASU 2015-01 eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. ASU 2015-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply ASU 2015-01 prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply ASU 2015-01 retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2015-01 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.” This ASU affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. Specifically, the amendments: (1) Modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) or voting interest entities; (2) Eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership; (3) Affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships; and (4) Provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. ASU No. 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.” This ASU provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The new guidance does not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. ASU No. 2015-05 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-05 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent))”. This ASU removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value (“NAV”) per share practical expedient. In addition, this ASU removes the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. ASU No. 2015-07 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2015-07 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-12 “Plan Accounting-Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965)” - "(Part I) Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts, (Part II) Plan Investment Disclosures, (Part III) Measurement Date Practical Expedient (consensuses of the Emerging Issues Task Force)." This ASU has been issued to (I) designate contract value as the only required measure for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts; (II) simplify and make more effective the investment disclosure requirements under Topic 820 and Topics 960, 962, and 965 for employee benefit plans; and (III) provide a similar measurement date practical expedient for employee benefit plans. ASU No. 2015-07 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2015-12 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), with an original effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. ASU 2015-14 deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this Update recognized at the date of initial application. Early application is not permitted. The Company is assessing the impact of ASU 2015-14 on its accounting and disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments—Overall (Topic 825-10): "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." ASU 2016-01 amends the guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Some of the amendments in ASU 2016-01 include the following: 1) requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; 2) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; 3) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; and 4) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value; among others. For public business entities, the amendments of ASU 2016-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is assessing the impact of ASU 2016-01 on its accounting and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 supersedes Topic 840, Leases. This ASU is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Some of the provisions in ASU 2016-02 include the following: 1) requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease), 2) requires lessor accounting to be updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard, 3) an arrangement contains an embedded lease if property, plant, or equipment is explicitly or implicitly identified and its use is controlled by the customer, 4) in certain circumstances, the lessee is required to remeasure the lease payments, and 5) requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, will be required to provide greater insight into the extent of revenue and expense recognized and expected to be recognized from existing contracts. For public business entities, ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is assessing the impact of ASU 2016-02 on its accounting and disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07 "Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323) Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting." This ASU eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. Therefore, upon qualifying for the equity method of accounting, no retroactive adjustment of the investment is required. For public business entities, ASU 2016-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively upon their effective date to increases in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the adoption of the equity method. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact of ASU 2016-07 on its accounting and disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU requires all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. It also allows an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election for forfeitures as they occur. For public business entities, ASU No. 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact of ASU 2016-09 on its accounting and disclosures.

Restrictions on Cash and Due from Banks

The Company is required to maintain a percentage of transaction account balances on deposit in non-interest-earning reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank, offset by the Company’s average vault cash. The Company also is required to maintain cash balances to collateralize the Company’s position with certain third parties. The Company had cash and liquid assets of approximately $23.6 million and $17.7 million to meet these requirements at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Income allocated to participating shares		(21	)		(30	)
Net income allocated to common stockholders	$	3,583		$	2,468

Weighted-average shares issued		17,976,893			18,006,129

Average treasury stock		(2,184,255	)		(1,976,247	)
Average unvested restricted stock		(126,290	)		(266,884	)
Weighted-average basic shares outstanding		14,720,892			14,722,112

Plus: Average dilutive shares		291,648			128,485
Weighted-average diluted shares outstanding		15,012,540			14,850,597

Net earnings per share (1):
Basic	$	0.24		$	0.17
Diluted	$	0.24		$	0.17

(1) Certain per share amounts may not appear to reconcile due to rounding.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, 85,500 and 93,250 options were anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the earnings per share calculation.

Management believes that no individual unrealized loss as of March 31, 2016 represents an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”), based on its detailed review of the securities portfolio. The Company has no intent to sell nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell any of the securities in a loss position during the period of time necessary to recover the unrealized losses, which may be until maturity.

The following summarizes the conclusions from our OTTI evaluation for those security types that incurred significant gross unrealized losses greater than twelve months as of March 31, 2016:

Preferred equity securities - The unrealized loss on preferred equity securities in a loss position for 12 months or more relates to one preferred equity security. This investment is in a global financial institution. When estimating the recovery period for securities in an unrealized loss position, management utilizes analyst forecasts, earnings assumptions and other company-specific financial performance metrics. In addition, this assessment incorporates general market data, industry and sector cycles and related trends to determine a reasonable recovery period. Management evaluated the near-term prospects of the issuer in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment. Management concluded that the preferred equity security is not other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2016.

Mutual funds - The unrealized loss on mutual funds in a loss position for 12 months or more relates to one mutual fund. The fund invests primarily in high quality debt securities and other debt instruments supporting the affordable housing industry in areas of the United States designated by fund shareholders. When estimating the recovery period for securities in an unrealized loss position, management utilizes analyst forecasts, earnings assumptions and other fund-specific financial performance metrics. In addition, this assessment incorporates general market data, industry and sector cycles and related trends to determine a reasonable recovery period. Management evaluated the near-term prospects of the fund in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment. Management concluded that the mutual fund is not other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2016.

Credit Quality Information

At the time of loan origination, a risk rating based on a nine point grading system is assigned to each commercial-related loan based on the loan officer’s and management’s assessment of the risk associated with each particular loan. This risk assessment is based on an in depth analysis of a variety of factors. More complex loans and larger commitments require the Company’s internal credit risk management department further evaluate the risk rating of the individual loan or relationship, with credit risk management having final determination of the appropriate risk rating. These more complex loans and relationships receive ongoing periodic review to assess the appropriate risk rating on a post-closing basis with changes made to the risk rating as the borrower’s and economic conditions warrant. The Company’s risk rating system is designed to be a dynamic system and we grade loans on a “real time” basis. The Company places considerable emphasis on risk rating accuracy, risk rating justification, and risk rating triggers. The Company’s risk rating process has been enhanced with its implementation of industry-based risk rating “cards.” The cards are used by the loan officers and promote risk rating accuracy and consistency on an institution-wide basis. Most loans are reviewed annually as part of a comprehensive portfolio review conducted by management and/or by an independent loan review firm. More frequent reviews of loans rated low pass, special mention, substandard and doubtful are conducted by the credit risk management department. The Company utilizes an independent loan review consulting firm to review its rating accuracy and the overall credit quality of its loan portfolio. The review is designed to provide an evaluation of the portfolio with respect to risk rating profile as well as with regard to the soundness of individual loan files. The individual loan reviews include an analysis of the creditworthiness of obligors, via appropriate key ratios and cash flow analysis and an assessment of collateral protection. The consulting firm conducts two loan reviews per year aiming at a 65.0% or higher commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate portfolio penetration. Summary findings of all loan reviews performed by the outside consulting firm are reported to the board of directors and senior management of the Company upon completion.

The Company utilizes a point risk rating scale as follows:

Risk Rating Definitions

Residential and consumer loans are not rated unless they are 45 days or more delinquent, in which case, depending on past-due days, they will be rated 6, 7 or 8.

Loans rated 1 – 5, 55:	Commercial loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.

Loans rated 6:	Residential, Consumer and Commercial loans in this category are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

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

The Company places considerable emphasis on the early identification of problem assets, problem-resolution and minimizing loss exposure. Delinquency notices are mailed monthly to all delinquent borrowers, advising them of the amount of their delinquency. Residential and consumer lending borrowers are typically given 30 days to pay the delinquent payments or to contact us to make arrangements to bring the loan current over a longer period of time. Generally, if a residential or consumer lending borrower fails to bring the loan current within 90 days from the original due date or to make arrangements to cure the delinquency over a longer period of time, the matter is referred to legal counsel and foreclosure or other collection proceedings are initiated. The Company may consider forbearance or a loan restructuring in certain circumstances where a temporary loss of income is the primary cause of the delinquency, and if a reasonable plan is presented by the borrower to cure the delinquency in a reasonable period of time after his or her income resumes. Problem or delinquent borrowers in our commercial real estate, commercial business and resort portfolios are handled on a case-by-case basis, typically by our Special Assets Department. Appropriate problem-resolution and workout strategies are formulated based on the specific facts and circumstances.

The Company’s non-contributory defined-benefit pension plan and certain defined benefit postretirement plans were frozen as of February 28, 2013 and no additional benefits will accrue.

The Company’s funding practice is to meet the minimum funding standards established by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Since the supplemental plan and the postretirement benefit plans are unfunded, the Company accrues for the estimated costs of these plans through charges to expense during the year that employees render service. The Company makes contributions to cover the current benefits paid under these plans.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Company established the ESOP to provide eligible employees the opportunity to own Company stock. The Company provided a loan to the Farmington Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust in the amount needed to purchase up to 1,430,416 shares of the Company’s common stock. The loan bears an interest rate equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus one percentage point, adjusted annually, and provides for annual payments of interest and principal over the 15 year term of the loan. At March 31, 2016, the loan had an outstanding balance of $12.0 million and an interest rate of 4.25%. The Bank has committed to make contributions to the ESOP sufficient to support the debt service of the loan. The loan is secured by the unallocated shares purchased. The ESOP compensation expense was $386,000 and $358,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Shares held by the ESOP include the following as of March 31, 2016:

Allocated			476,805
Committed to be released			23,710
Unallocated			929,901
			1,430,416

The fair value of unallocated ESOP shares was $14.8 million at March 31, 2016.

Stock Incentive Plan

In August 2012, the Company implemented the First Connecticut Bancorp, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for a total of 2,503,228 shares of common stock for issuance upon the grant or exercise of awards. The Plan allows for the granting of 1,788,020 non-qualified stock options and 715,208 shares of restricted stock.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for Share-Based Payments, the Company expenses the fair value of all share-based compensation grants over the requisite service periods. Stock options granted vested 20% immediately and will vest 20% at each annual anniversary of the grant date through 2016 and expire ten years after grant date. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair values of these awards, which vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Restricted shares granted vested 20% immediately and will vest 20% at each annual anniversary of the grant date through 2016. The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock determines the fair value of restricted shares under the Company’s restricted stock plan. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of restricted shares on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

The Company classifies share-based compensation for employees within “Salaries and employee benefits” and share-based payments for outside directors within “Other operating expenses” in the condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded $651,000 and $849,000 of share-based compensation expense, respectively, comprised of $268,000 and $346,000 of stock option expense, respectively and $383,000 and $503,000 of restricted stock expense, respectively. Expected future compensation expense relating to the 354,620 non-vested options outstanding at March 31, 2016, is $608,000 over the remaining weighted-average period of 1.13 years. Expected future compensation expense relating to the 126,290 non-vested restricted shares at March 31, 2016, is $666,000 over the remaining weighted-average period of 0.43 years.

The fair value of the options awarded is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the Company’s historical volatility and the historical volatility of a peer group as the Company does not have reliably determined stock price for the period needed that is at least equal to its expected term and the Company’s recent historical volatility may not reflect future expectations. The peer group consisted of financial institutions located in New England and the Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States based on whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange, asset size, tangible capital ratio and earnings factors. The expected term of options granted is derived from using the simplified method due to the Company not having sufficient historical share option experience upon which to estimate an expected term. The risk-free rate is based on the grant date for a traded zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond with a term equal to the option’s expected term.

Weighted-average assumptions for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

	2016			2015
Weighted per share average fair value of options granted	$	2.98		$	3.33
Weighted-average assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate		1.59	%		1.51	%

Derivative Financial Instruments

Non-Hedge Accounting Derivatives/Non-designated Hedges:

The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Interest rate swap derivatives not designated as hedges are offered to certain qualifying commercial customers and to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements but do not meet the strict hedge accounting under FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The interest rate swap agreements enable these customers to synthetically fix the interest rate on variable interest rate loans. The customers pay a variable rate and enter into a fixed rate swap agreement with the Company. The credit risk associated with the interest rate swap derivatives executed with these customers is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans and is subject to the Company’s normal credit policies. The Company obtains collateral, if needed, based upon its assessment of the customers’ credit quality. Generally, interest rate swap agreements are offered to “pass” rated customers requesting long-term commercial loans or commercial mortgages in amounts generally of at least $1.0 million. The interest rate swap agreement with our customers is cross-collateralized by the loan collateral. The interest rate swap agreements do not have any embedded interest rate caps or floors.

For every variable interest rate swap agreement entered into with a commercial customer, the Company simultaneously enters into a fixed rate interest rate swap agreement with a correspondent bank, agreeing to pay a fixed income stream and receive a variable interest rate swap. The Company is party to master netting agreements with its correspondent banks; however, the Company does not offset assets and liabilities for financial statement presentation purposes. The master netting agreements provide for a single net settlement of all swap agreements, as well as collateral, in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Collateral generally in the form of cash is received or posted by the counterparty with the net liability position, in accordance with contract thresholds. As of March 31, 2016, the Company maintained a cash balance of $19.8 million with a correspondent bank to collateralize its position. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has an agreement with a correspondent bank to secure any outstanding receivable in excess of $10.0 million.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company’s agreements with its derivative counterparties contain the following provisions:

if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations;

if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well/adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions, and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements;

if the Company fails to maintain a specified minimum leverage ratio, then the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations; and

if a specified event or condition occurs that materially changes the Company’s creditworthiness in an adverse manner, it may be required to fully collateralize its obligations under the derivative instrument.

The Company is in compliance with the above provisions as of March 31, 2016.

First Connecticut Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Company has established a derivatives policy which sets forth the parameters for such transactions (including underwriting guidelines, rate setting process, maximum maturity, approval and documentation requirements), as well as identifies internal controls for the management of risks related to these hedging activities (such as approval of counterparties, limits on counterparty credit risk, maximum loan amounts, and limits to single dealer counterparties).

The interest rate swap derivatives executed with our customers and our counterparties, are marked to market and are included with prepaid expenses and other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at fair value.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives

Certain derivative instruments, primarily forward sales of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are utilized by the Company in its efforts to manage risk of loss associated with its mortgage loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale. Prior to closing and funding certain single-family residential mortgage loans, an interest-rate lock commitment is generally extended to the borrower. During the period from commitment date to closing date, the Company is subject to the risk that market rates of interest may change. If market rates rise, investors generally will pay less to purchase such loans resulting in a reduction in the gain on sale of the loans or, possibly, a loss. In an effort to mitigate such risk, forward delivery sales commitments, under which the Company agrees to deliver whole mortgage loans to various investors or issue MBS, are established. At March 31, 2016, the notional amount of outstanding rate locks totaled approximately $30.0 million. The notional amount of outstanding commitments to sell residential mortgage loans totaled approximately $31.2 million, which included mandatory forward commitments totaling approximately $24.4 million at March 31, 2016. The forward commitments establish the price to be received upon the sale of the related mortgage loan, thereby mitigating certain interest rate risk. There is, however, still certain execution risk specifically related to the Company’s ability to close and deliver to its investors the mortgage loans it has committed to sell.

The right of setoff for a repurchase agreement resembles a secured borrowing, whereby the collateral pledged by the Company would be used to settle the fair value of the repurchase agreements should the Company be in default (e.g., fail to make an interest payment to the counterparty). The collateral is held by a third party financial institution in the Company's trustee account. The counterparty has the right to sell or repledge the investment securities if the Company defaults. The Company is required by the counterparty to maintain adequate collateral levels. In the event the collateral fair value falls below stipulated levels, the Company will pledge additional securities. The Company closely monitors collateral levels to ensure adequate levels are maintained, while mitigating the potential risk of over-collateralization in the event of counterparty default.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2016		2015
(Dollars in thousands)
Approved loan commitments	$	49,245	$	46,144
Unadvanced portion of construction loans		33,944		44,457
Unused lines for home equity loans		186,962		204,983
Unused revolving lines of credit		72		365
Unused commercial letters of credit		3,623		3,558
Unused commercial lines of credit		208,508		187,819
	$	482,354	$	487,326

Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk had a valuation allowance of $496,000 and $501,000 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held is primarily residential property and commercial assets.

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had no off-balance sheet special purpose entities and participated in no securitizations of assets.

Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company primarily grants commercial, residential and consumer loans to customers located within its primary market area in the state of Connecticut and western Massachusetts. The majority of the Company’s loan portfolio is comprised of commercial and residential mortgages. The Company has no negative amortization or option adjustable rate mortgage loans.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time based on the characteristics of the financial instruments and relevant market information. In accordance with FASB ASC 820-10, the fair value estimates are measured within the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820-10 are described as follows:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. When available, quoted market prices are used. In other cases, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. These techniques involve uncertainties and are significantly affected by the assumptions used and judgments made regarding risk characteristics of various financial instruments, discount rates, and estimates of future cash flows, future expected loss experience and other factors. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. Derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in certain cases, could not be realized in an immediate sale of the instrument.

Fair value estimates are based on existing financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not purport to represent the underlying market value of the Company. There were no transfers between levels during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value:

Securities Available-for-Sale: Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models. Level 1 securities are those traded on active markets for identical securities including U.S. treasury obligations, preferred equity securities and marketable equity securities. Level 2 securities include U.S. treasury obligations, U.S. government agency obligations, government-sponsored residential mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities, trust preferred debt securities, and mutual funds. When a market is illiquid or there is a lack of transparency around the inputs to valuation, the respective securities are classified as level 3 and reliance is placed upon internally developed models and management judgment and evaluation for valuation. The Company had no Level 3 securities at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The Company utilizes a third party, nationally-recognized pricing service (“pricing service”); subject to review by management, to estimate fair value measurements for the majority of its investment securities portfolio. The pricing service evaluates each asset class based on relevant market information considering observable data that may include dealer quotes, reported trades, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, the LIBOR swap yield curve, trade execution data, market prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. The fair value prices on all investment securities are reviewed for reasonableness by management. Also, management assessed the valuation techniques used by the pricing service based on a review of their pricing methodology to ensure proper pricing and hierarchy classifications. Management employs procedures to monitor the pricing service’s assumptions and establishes processes to challenge the pricing service’s valuations that appear unusual or unexpected.

Interest Rate Swap Derivatives: The fair values of interest rate swap agreements are calculated using a discounted cash flow approach and utilize observable inputs such as the LIBOR swap curve, effective date, maturity date, notional amount, stated interest rate and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Such derivatives are basic interest rate swaps that do not have any embedded interest rate caps and floors.

Forward loan sale commitments and derivative loan commitments: Forward loan sale commitments and derivative loan commitments are based on fair values of the underlying mortgage loans and the probability of such commitments being exercised. Significant management judgment and estimation is required in determining these fair value measurements therefore are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company recognized a gain of $55,000 and $130,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, included in other noninterest income in the accompanying condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured on a non-recurring basis:

Mortgage Servicing Rights: A mortgage servicing right asset represents the amount by which the present value of the estimated future net cash flows to be received from servicing loans are expected to more than adequately compensate the Company for performing the servicing. The fair value of servicing rights is estimated using a present value cash flow model. The most important assumptions used in the valuation model are the anticipated rate of the loan prepayments and discount rates. Adjustments are only recorded when the discounted cash flows derived from the valuation model are less than the carrying value of the asset. As such, measurement at fair value is on a nonrecurring basis. Although some assumptions in determining fair value are based on standards used by market participants, some are based on unobservable inputs and therefore are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Loans Held for Sale: Loans held for sale are accounted for at the lower of cost or market and are considered to be recognized at fair value when recorded at below cost. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted as required for changes in loan characteristics.

Impaired Loans: Impaired loans for which repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the value of the underlying collateral are considered collateral dependent and are valued based on the estimated fair value of such collateral using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria. As appraisals on impaired loans are not necessarily completed on the period end dates presented in the table above, the fair value information presented may not reflect the actual fair value as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Other Real Estate Owned: The Company classifies property acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of deed-in-lieu of foreclosure as other real estate owned in its financial statements. Upon foreclosure, the property securing the loan is written down to fair value less selling costs. The write down is based upon the difference between the appraised value and the book value. Appraisals are based on observable market data such as comparable sales within the real estate market, however assumptions made in determining comparability are unobservable and therefore these assets are classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. As appraisals on foreclosed real estate are not necessarily completed on the period end dates presented in the table above, the fair value information presented may not reflect the actual fair value as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The following tables present the valuation methodology and unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the statement of condition for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values.

Investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”) stock: FHLBB stock does not have a readily determinable fair value and is assumed to have a fair value equal to its carrying value. Ownership of FHLBB stock is restricted to the FHLBB, and can only be purchased and redeemed at par value.

Alternative Investments: The Company accounts for its percentage ownership of alternative investment funds at cost, subject to impairment testing. These are non-public investments which include limited partnerships, an equity fund and membership stocks. These alternative investments totaled $2.5 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The Company recognized a $47,000 and $-0- other-than-temporary impairment charge on its limited partnerships for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, included in other noninterest income in the accompanying condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognized profit distributions in its limited partnerships of $129,000 and $-0- for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company has $637,000 in unfunded commitments remaining for its alternative investments as of March 31, 2016.

Loans: In general, discount rates used to calculate values for loan products were based on the Company’s pricing at the respective period end and included appropriate adjustments for expected credit losses. A higher discount rate was assumed with respect to estimated cash flows associated with nonaccrual loans. Projected loan cash flows were adjusted for estimated credit losses. However, such estimates made by the Company may not be indicative of assumptions and adjustments that a purchaser of the Company’s loans would seek.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits and savings accounts (e.g., interest and noninterest checking and passbook savings) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed-term certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregate expected monthly maturities of time deposits.

Borrowed funds: The fair values for borrowed funds, including FHLBB advances and repurchase borrowings, are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of agreements.

Repurchase liabilities: Repurchase liabilities represent a short-term customer sweep account product. Because of the short-term nature of these liabilities, the carrying amount approximates its fair value.

First Connecticut Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The following presents the carrying amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. For short-term financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization.

Regulatory Matters

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on their financial statements.

Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to quantitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve published final rules for the adoption of the Basel III regulatory capital framework (the "Basel III Capital Rules"). The Basel III Capital Rules, among other things, (i) introduced a new capital measure called "Common Equity Tier 1", (ii) specify that Tier 1 capital consists of Common Equity Tier 1 and "Additional Tier 1 Capital" instruments meeting specified requirements, (iii) define Common Equity Tier 1 narrowly by requiring that most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to Common Equity Tier 1 and not to the other components of capital and (iv) expand the scope of the deductions/adjustments as compared to existing regulations and a higher minimum Tier I capital requirement. Additionally, institutions must maintain a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets to avoid being subject to limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2015 with certain transition provisions fully phased in through January 1, 2019.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total capital, Tier I capital and common equity Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations) and of Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to average assets (as defined in the regulations).

Management believes, as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorizes the Company and the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action as of March 31, 2016. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, common equity Tier I capital and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

The following table provides information on the capital amounts and ratios for the Company and the Bank:

General

First Connecticut Bancorp, Inc. is a Maryland-chartered stock holding company that wholly owns Farmington Bank. Farmington Bank is a full-service, community bank with 23 branch locations throughout central Connecticut and western Massachusetts, offering commercial and residential lending as well as wealth management services. Established in 1851, Farmington Bank is a diversified consumer and commercial bank with an ongoing commitment to contribute to the betterment of the communities in our region.

Our business strategy is to operate as a well-capitalized and profitable community bank for businesses, individuals and local governments, with an ongoing commitment to provide quality customer service.

Maintaining a strong capital position in excess of the well-capitalized standards set by our banking regulators to support our current operations and future growth. The FDIC’s requirement for a “well-capitalized” bank is a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater. As of March 31, 2016 our total risk-based capital ratio was 12.88%.

Increasing our focus on commercial lending and continuing to expand commercial banking operations. We will continue to focus on commercial lending and the origination of commercial loans using prudent lending standards. We plan to continue to grow our commercial lending portfolio, while enhancing our complementary business products and services.

Continuing to focus on residential and consumer lending in conjunction with our secondary market residential lending program. We offer traditional residential and consumer lending products and plan to continue to build a strong residential and consumer lending program that supports our secondary market residential lending program. Under our expanding secondary market residential lending program, we may sell a portion of our fixed rate residential originations while retaining the loan servicing function and mitigating our interest rate risk.

Maintaining asset quality and prudent lending standards. We will continue to originate all loans utilizing prudent lending standards in an effort to maintain strong asset quality. While our delinquencies and charge-offs have decreased, we continue to diligently manage our collection function to minimize loan losses and non-performing assets. We will continue to employ sound risk management practices as we continue to expand our lending portfolio.

Expanding our existing products and services and developing new products and services to meet the changing needs of consumers and businesses in our market area. We will continue to evaluate our consumer and business customers’ needs to ensure that we continue to offer relevant, up-to-date products and services.

Continue expansion through de novo branching. We recently expanded into western Massachusetts opening two de novo branches in the fourth quarter of 2015 and plan to open two de novo branches in Connecticut in 2016.

Continuing to control non-interest expenses. As part of our strategic plan, we have implemented several programs designed to control costs. We monitor our expense ratios and plan to reduce our efficiency ratio by controlling expenses and increasing net interest income and noninterest income. We plan to continue to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of our business processes and our efficiency, utilizing information technology when possible.

Taking advantage of acquisition opportunities that are consistent with our strategic growth plans. We intend to continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire other financial institutions and financial service related businesses in our current market area or contiguous market areas that will enable us to enhance our existing products and services and develop new products and services. We have no specific plans, agreements or understandings with respect to any expansion or acquisition opportunities.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting policies followed by us conform with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our most critical accounting policies, which involve the most complex subjective decisions or assessments, relate to allowance for loan losses, other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, income taxes and pension and other post-retirement benefits. The following is a description of our critical accounting policies and an explanation of the methods and assumptions underlying their application.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the statement of condition date. The allowance for loan losses consists of a formula allowance following FASB ASC 450 – “Contingencies” and FASB ASC 310 – “Receivables”. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

General component:

The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

Allocated component:

Unallocated component:

Other-than-Temporary Impairment of Securities: In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 320-Debt and Equity Securities, a decline in market value of a debt security below amortized cost that is deemed other-than-temporary is charged to earnings for the credit related other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security, while the non-credit related OTTI is recognized in other comprehensive income if there is no intent or requirement to sell the security. Management reviews the securities portfolio on a quarterly basis for the presence of OTTI. An assessment is made as to whether the decline in value results from company-specific events, industry developments, general economic conditions, credit losses on debt or other reasons. After the reasons for the decline are identified, further judgments are required as to whether those conditions are likely to reverse and, if so, whether that reversal is likely to result in a recovery of the fair value of the investment in the near term. If it is judged not to be near-term, a charge is taken which results in a new cost basis. Credit related OTTI for debt securities is recognized in earnings while non-credit related OTTI is recognized in other comprehensive income if there is no intent to sell or will not be required to sell the security. If an equity security is deemed other-than-temporarily impaired, the full impairment is considered to be credit-related and a charge to earnings would be recorded. Management believes the policy for evaluating securities for other-than-temporary impairment is critical because it involves significant judgments by management and could have a material impact on our net income.

Gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized at the time of sale on a specific identification basis. Marketable equity and debt securities are classified as either trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity (applies only to debt securities). Management determines the appropriate classifications of securities at the time of purchase. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had no debt or equity securities classified as trading. Held-to-maturity securities are debt securities for which we have the ability and intent to hold until maturity. All other securities not included in held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of equity, until realized.

Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted into interest income over the term of the securities using the level yield method.

Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes are provided for differences arising in the timing of income and expenses for financial reporting and for income tax purposes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides a deferred tax asset valuation allowance for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards when realization is determined not to be more likely than not.

As part of the Plan of Conversion and Reorganization completed on June 29, 2011, the Company contributed shares of Company common stock to the Farmington Bank Community Foundation, Inc. This contribution resulted in a charitable contribution deduction for federal income tax purposes. Use of that charitable contribution deduction is limited under Federal tax law to 10% of federal taxable income without regard to charitable contributions, net operating losses, and dividend received deductions. Annually, a corporation is permitted to carry over to the five succeeding tax years, contributions that exceeded the 10% limitation, but also subject to the maximum annual limitation. As a result, approximately $3.8 million of charitable contribution carryforward remains at March 31, 2016 resulting in a deferred tax asset of approximately $1.3 million. The Company believes it is more likely than not that this carryforward will not be fully utilized before expiration in 2016. Therefore, a valuation allowance has been recorded against this deferred tax asset. Some of this charitable contribution carryforward would likely expire unutilized if the Company does not generate sufficient taxable income over this year. The Company monitors the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis.

In December 1999, we created and have since maintained a “passive investment company” (“PIC”), as permitted by Connecticut law. At March 31, 2016 there were no material uncertain tax positions related to federal and state income tax matters. We are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities for the years ended December 31, 2012 through 2015. If the state taxing authority were to determine that the PIC was not in compliance with statutory requirements, a material amount of taxes could be due.

As of March 31, 2016, management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized through future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and future taxable income. At March 31, 2016, our net deferred tax asset was $15.5 million with a $771,000 valuation allowance.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits: The Company’s non-contributory defined-benefit pension plan and certain defined benefit postretirement plans were frozen as of February 28, 2013 and no additional benefits will accrue.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015

Our total assets remained flat at $2.7 billion at March 31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015.

Our investment portfolio totaled $148.6 million or 5.5% of total assets and $164.7 million or 6.1% of total assets at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Available-for-sale investment securities totaled $128.7 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $132.4 million at December 31, 2015. Securities held-to-maturity decreased $12.3 million to $20.0 million at March 31, 2016 from $32.2 million at December 31, 2015 primarily due to $12.0 million being called during the quarter. The Company purchases short term U.S. Treasury and agency securities in order to meet municipal and repurchase agreement pledge requirements and to minimize interest rate risk during the sustained low interest rate environment.

Loans remained flat at $2.4 billion as of March 31, 2016. The allowance for loan losses was $20.2 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. At March 31, 2016, the allowance for loan losses represented 0.85% of total loans and 154.08% of non-performing loans, compared to 0.86% of total loans and 135.44% of non-performing loans as of December 31, 2015.

Total liabilities remained flat at $2.5 billion at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Deposits increased $106.5 million or 5.3% to $2.0 billion at March 31, 2016 which includes increases in interest-bearing deposits of $111.5 million primarily due to municipal deposits and deposits related to our two de novo branch expansion into western Massachusetts during the fourth quarter of 2015 due to our continued efforts to obtain more individual, commercial and municipal account relationships. There were brokered deposits totaling $43.2 million and $44.3 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advances decreased $118.0 million to $259.6 million at March 31, 2016 from $377.6 million at December 31, 2015 as we used the increase in the deposits to pay down the advances.

Stockholders’ equity increased $2.3 million to $248.0 million compared to December 31, 2015 primarily due to $3.6 million in net income. The Company paid cash dividends totaling $1.1 million or $0.07 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company repurchased 147,100 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $16.13 at a total cost of $2.4 million. Repurchased shares are held as treasury stock and will be available for general corporate purposes.

The increase in net income was driven by a $1.1 million increase in net interest income due to organic loan growth, a $398,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses and an increase in noninterest income, offset by increases in noninterest expense and income tax expense.

Comparison of Operating Results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income on earning assets, such as loans and investments, and the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. We also generate noninterest income; including service charges on deposit accounts, gain on sale of securities, income from mortgage banking activities, bank-owned life insurance income, brokerage fees, insurance commissions and other miscellaneous fees. Our noninterest expense primarily consists of salary and employee benefits, occupancy expense, furniture and equipment expenses, FDIC assessments, marketing and other general and administrative expenses. Our results of operations are also affected by our provision for loan losses.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income is determined by the interest rate spread (i.e., the difference between the yields earned on interest-earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities) and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses was $17.5 million and $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Net interest income increased $1.1 million primarily due to a $199.1 million increase in the average loan balance offset by a $660,000 increase in interest expense. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 6 basis points to 3.42% for the first quarter of 2016 from 3.36% for the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to increases in the investment yields offset by a 4 basis point decrease in the yield on total average net loans to 3.59%. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased 9 basis points to 0.77% for the first quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to certificate of deposit promotions and a 43 basis point increase in Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advance costs due to an increase in long-term advances which carry higher rates. Net interest margin decreased 1 basis point to 2.82% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 2.83% in the prior year quarter.

Interest expense increased $660,000 for the first quarter of 2016 to $3.8 million compared to the prior year quarter. The average interest-bearing liabilities balance increased $110.7 million and the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased 9 basis points to 0.77%. Average balances of noninterest-bearing deposits grew at a rate of 18.2%, while total average interest-bearing deposits grew at a rate of 10.8% for the first quarter in 2016 compared to the prior year quarter.

Provision for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management determines to be appropriate to absorb estimated credit losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the dates of the financial statements. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and charges any provision for loan losses needed to current operations. The assessment considers historical loss experience, historical and current delinquency statistics, the loan portfolio segment and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, the financial strength of the borrowers, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions and other credit quality indicators.

Management recorded a provision for loan losses of $217,000 and $615,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The provision recorded is based upon management’s analysis of the allowance for loan losses necessary to absorb the estimated credit losses in the loan portfolio for the period. Net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2016 were $241,000 or 0.04% to average loans (annualized) compared to $343,000 or 0.06% to average loans (annualized) in the prior year quarter.

At March 31, 2016, the allowance for loan losses totaled $20.2 million, or 0.85% of total loans and 154.08% of non-performing loans, compared to an allowance for loan losses of $20.2 million, or 0.86% of total loans and 135.44% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2015.

Noninterest Income: The following table summarizes noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015		$ Change			% Change
(Dollars in thousands)
Fees for customer services	$	1,484	$	1,373	$	111			8.1	%
Gain on sales of investments		-		273		(273	)		100.0
Net gain on loans sold		490		520		(30	)		(5.8	)
Brokerage and insurance fee income		54		49		5			10.2
Bank owned life insurance income		414		273		141			51.6
Other		458		176		282			160.2
Total noninterest income	$	2,900	$	2,664	$	236			8.9	%

Total noninterest income increased $236,000 to $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to a $111,000 increase in customer service fees, $141,000 increase in bank owned life insurance income and a $282,000 increase in other noninterest income offset by a $273,000 decrease in gain on sales of investments. There was no gain on sale of investments in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $273,000 gain on sale of investments in the prior year quarter. Other income increased $282,000 to $458,000 in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to a $314,000 increase in swaps fees offset by a $76,000 decrease in mortgage banking derivatives income.

Noninterest Expense: The following table summarizes noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015		$ Change			% Change
(Dollars in thousands)
Salaries and employee benefits	$	9,376	$	8,790	$	586			6.7	%
Occupancy expense		1,219		1,367		(148	)		(10.8	)
Furniture and equipment expense		1,061		1,036		25			2.4
FDIC assessment		404		412		(8	)		(1.9	)
Marketing		421		409		12			2.9
Other operating expenses		2,796		2,923		(127	)		(4.3	)
Total noninterest expense	$	15,277	$	14,937	$	340			2.3	%

Noninterest expense increased $340,000 in the first quarter of 2016 to $15.3 million compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to a $586,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits offset by decreases in occupancy expense and other operating expenses. Salaries and employee benefits increased $586,000 primarily due to our branch expansion into western Massachusetts and to maintain the Bank’s growth.

Income tax expense was $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $976,000 in the prior year quarter. The increase in income tax expense in the first quarter of 2016 was primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in income before taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

We maintain liquid assets at levels we consider adequate to meet our liquidity needs. We adjust our liquidity levels to fund loan commitments, repay our borrowings, fund deposit outflows, fund operations and pay escrow obligations on items in our loan portfolio. We also adjust liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives.

Our primary sources of liquidity are deposits, principal repayment and prepayment of loans, the sale in the secondary market of loans held for sale, maturities and sales of investment securities and other short-term investments, periodic pay downs of mortgage-backed securities, and earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions and rates offered by our competitors. We set the interest rates on our deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.

A portion of our liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents, which are a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. At March 31, 2016, $59.2 million of our assets were invested in cash and cash equivalents compared to $59.1 million at December 31, 2015. Our primary sources of cash are principal repayments on loans, proceeds from the maturities of investment securities, increases in deposit accounts, proceeds from residential loan sales and advances from FHLBB.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, loan originations and purchases, net of collected principal and loan sales, totaled $8.9 million and $68.4 million, respectively. Cash received from the sales and maturities of available-for-sale investment securities totaled $48.4 million and $75.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We purchased $44.0 million and $61.0 million of available-for-sale investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Liquidity management is both a daily and longer-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the FHLBB, which provides an additional source of funds. At March 31, 2016, we had $259.6 million in advances from the FHLBB and an additional available borrowing limit of $496.1 million, compared to $377.6 million in advances from the FHLBB and an additional available borrowing limit of $407.8 million at December 31, 2015, subject to collateral requirements of the FHLBB. The Company also had letters of credit of $90.0 million and $63.0 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, subject to collateral requirements of the FHLBB. Internal policies limit borrowings to 25.0% of total assets, or $675.4 million and $677.1 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Other sources of funds include access to pre-approved unsecured lines of credit with financial institutions for $55.0 million, our $8.8 million secured line of credit with the FHLBB and our $3.5 million unsecured line of credit with a bank which were all undrawn at March 31, 2016. The Federal Reserve Bank’s discount window loan collateral program enables us to borrow up to $60.7 million on an overnight basis as of March 31, 2016. The funding arrangement was collateralized by $134.2 million in pledged commercial real estate loans as of March 31, 2016.

We had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $49.2 million and $46.1 million and unfunded commitments under construction loans, lines of credit and stand-by letters of credit of $433.1 million and $441.2 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, time deposits scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $295.8 million and $267.7 million, respectively. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In the event a significant portion of our deposits are not retained by us, we will have to utilize other funding sources, such as FHLBB advances, brokered deposits, our $55.0 million unsecured lines of credit with financial institutions, our $8.8 million secured line of credit with the FHLBB, our $3.5 million unsecured line of credit with a bank or our $60.7 million overnight borrowing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank in order to maintain our level of assets. Alternatively, we would reduce our level of liquid assets, such as our cash and cash equivalents in order to meet funding needs. In addition, the cost of such deposits may be significantly higher if market interest rates are higher or if there is an increased amount of competition for deposits in our market area at the time of renewal.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

General: The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of loans and available-for-sale investment securities, generally have longer contractual maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, our board of directors has established an asset/liability committee which is responsible for (i) evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, (ii) determining the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives and (iii) managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by our board of directors. Management monitors the level of interest rate risk on a regular basis and the asset/liability committee meets at least quarterly to review our asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position.

We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. During the low interest rate environment that has existed in recent years, we have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk: (i) emphasizing adjustable rate commercial and consumer loans, (ii) maintaining a short average life investment portfolio and (iii) periodically lengthening the term structure of our borrowings from the FHLBB. Additionally, we sell a portion of our fixed-rate residential mortgages to the secondary market. These measures should serve to reduce the volatility of our future net interest income in different interest rate environments.

Quantitative Analysis: An economic value of equity and an income simulation analysis are used to estimate our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. We are most reliant on the income simulation method as it is a dynamic method in that it incorporates our forecasted balance sheet growth assumptions under the different interest rate scenarios tested. We utilize the income simulation method to analyze our interest rate sensitivity position and to manage the risk associated with interest rate movements. At least quarterly, our asset/liability committee reviews the potential effect that changes in interest rates could have on the repayment or repricing of rate sensitive assets and the funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities. Our most recent simulation uses projected repricing of assets and liabilities on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated repayments and scheduled rate adjustments. Prepayment rate assumptions can have a significant impact on interest income simulation results. Because of the large percentage of loans and mortgage-backed securities we hold, rising or falling interest rates may have a significant impact on the actual prepayment speeds of our mortgage related assets that may in turn effect our interest rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayment speeds slow and the average expected life of our assets would tend to lengthen more than the expected average life of our liabilities and would therefore alter our existing interest rate risk position.

Our asset/liability policy currently limits projected changes in net interest income to a maximum variance of (4.0%, 8.0%, 10.0% and 12.0%) assuming a 100, 200, 300 or 400 basis point interest rate shock, respectively, as measured over a 12 month period when compared to the flat rate scenario.

The following table depicts the percentage increase and/or decrease in estimated net interest income over twelve months based on the scenarios run at each of the periods presented:

	Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Estimated Net Interest Income Over 12 Months
	At March 31, 2016			At December 31, 2015
100 basis point decrease		(7.67	)%		(6.99	)%
100 basis point increase		5.23	%		4.23	%
200 basis point increase		5.92	%		4.43	%
300 basis point increase		6.09	%		4.73	%
400 basis point increase		4.97	%		3.87	%
