Note

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Patriot Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), Patriot National Statutory Trust I and PinPat Acquisition Corporation (collectively, “Patriot”), have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been omitted. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included on the Annual Report on Form

-K for the year ended

December 31, 2020.

The consolidated balance sheet at

December 31, 2020

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 and lease losses, the analysis and valuation of its investment securities, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the impairment of goodwill, the valuation of derivatives, and the valuation of servicing assets as certain of the Company's more significant accounting policies and estimates, in that they are critical to the presentation of the Company's consolidated 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 the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications:

Certain amounts appearing in the financial statements and notes thereto for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. The reclassifications had

effect on net income or stockholders' equity as previously reported.

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

months ended

March 31, 2021

are

not

necessarily indicative of the results of operations that

may

be expected for the remainder of

2021.

COVID-

Impact

March 2020,

the World Health Organization declared novel coronavirus disease

2019

("COVID-

19"

) as a global pandemic. The COVID-

pandemic has negatively impacted the global and U.S. economies. Many businesses in the U.S., including those in the markets we serve, were required to close, causing a significant increase in unemployment and loss of revenue.

The consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including the amount of the allowance for loan losses. The assumptions and estimates used in the financial statements were impacted by the COVID-

pandemic.

We are unable to estimate the full impact of COVID-

on our business and operations at this time. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when COVID-

can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy

may

be reopened. The pandemic could cause us to experience higher credit losses in our loan portfolio, impairment of our goodwill, additional valuation allowance associated with our net deferred tax assets, reduced demand for our products and services, or other negative impacts on our financial position, results of operations, and prospects.

March 27, 2020,

the President of the United States signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act in response to the coronavirus pandemic. This legislation aims at providing relief for individuals and businesses that have been negatively impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

August 3, 2020,

the Federal Financial Institutions Council issued a joint statement, encouraging financial institutions to consider prudent accommodation options to mitigate losses for the borrower and financial institution beyond the initial accommodation period. The joint statement specifically encourages financial institutions to provide consumers with available options for repaying missed payments at the end of their accommodation to avoid delinquencies, as well as options for changes to terms to support sustainable and affordable payments for the long term. These considerations should also include prudent risk management practices at the financial institution based on the credit risk of the borrower. Patriot is actively working with its customers to address any further accommodation needs while carefully evaluating the associated credit risk of the borrowers.

The Federal Reserve System (the “Fed”) has taken, and continues to take, steps to support markets and the economy. Stimulus from Washington and the federal government, in spite of political hurdles and a change in presidential administrations, has also provided meaningful support. The new Biden administration has adopted another

$1.9

trillion stimulus package in

March 2021.

The market expects the Fed Funds rate to remain at the effective lower bound near

zero

for an extended period of time. Henceforth, the Fed appears to be willing to let inflation run above the

target level, even when unemployment is very low, before removing accommodation.
