The Consolidated Balance Sheet at

December 31, 2016

presented herein has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company at that date, but does

not

include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has identified accounting for the allowance for loan losses, the analysis and valuation of its investment securities, and the valuation of deferred tax assets as certain of Patriot’s more significant accounting policies and estimates, in that they are critical to the presentation of Patriot’s financial condition and results of operations. As they concern matters that are inherently uncertain, these estimates require management to make subjective and complex judgments in the preparation of Patriot’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

The information furnished reflects, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the

three

and

six

months ended

June 30, 2017

are

not

necessarily indicative of the results of operations that

may

be expected for the remainder of

2017.
