Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements

March 31, 2006

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or any other interim period. For additional information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto of Chicopee Savings Bank (the “Bank” or “Chicopee Savings Bank”) included in Chicopee Bancorp, Inc.’s (the “Company” or “Chicopee Bancorp”) prospectus, dated May 15, 2006.

In preparing financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to determination of the allowance for loan losses and the fair values of financial instruments.

(2) Plan of Conversion

A plan of conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”), has been unanimously adopted by the Bank’s Board of Trustees and approved by the Bank’s Corporators. Pursuant to the Plan of Conversion, the Bank will convert to a stock savings bank and will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, a recently formed Massachusetts corporation. In connection with the Bank’s conversion, the Company will offer and sell shares of its common stock to eligible depositors of the Bank and, possibly, the public. In addition, the Company will establish and fund a charitable foundation with shares of Company common stock equal to 8% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering.

After the conversion, holders of withdrawable deposits in the Bank will not be entitled to share in any residual assets upon liquidation of the Bank. However, under applicable regulations, the Bank will, at the time of the conversion, establish a liquidation account in an amount equal to its total equity as of the date of the latest statement of financial condition contained in the final prospectus relating to the conversion.

The Company’s common stock sold to the public will be priced based upon the Company’s estimated pro forma market value of the Bank as determined by an independent appraisal. Cost incurred in connection with the offering will be recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the offering. If the transaction is not consummated, all costs incurred in connection with the transaction will be expensed. At March 31, 2006, approximately $405,761 of conversion costs had been incurred and deferred.

(3) Earnings per Share

When presented, basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Because the Company had not issued any shares of common stock as of March 31, 2006, per share earnings data is not meaningful for this quarter or prior comparative periods and is therefore not presented.

(4) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets. This Statement amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 requires companies to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract. The Statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets to be initially measured at fair value and it permits an entity to choose either the amortized cost method or fair value measurement method for subsequent measurement for each class of separately recognized servicing assets. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year after September 15, 2006 (January 1, 2007 for Chicopee Savings Bank). The Bank does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 156 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations at and for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Bank. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes and tables thereto, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this document.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions and may describe future plans, strategies and expectations of Chicopee Bancorp and Chicopee Savings Bank. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions.

Chicopee Bancorp and Chicopee Savings Bank’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations of Chicopee Bancorp and its subsidiary include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, national and regional economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality and composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in Chicopee Bancorp and Chicopee Savings Bank’s market area, changes in real estate market values in Chicopee Bancorp and Chicopee Savings Bank’s market area, changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines and inability of third party service providers to perform.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, Chicopee Bancorp does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

General

Chicopee Bancorp, a Massachusetts corporation, was formed on March 14, 2006 by Chicopee Savings Bank to become the holding company for the Bank upon completion of the Bank’s conversion from a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank. At March 31, 2006, the Company had no assets and conducted no operations, and, therefore, the information presented in this report is for the Bank.

Chicopee Savings Bank is a community-oriented financial institution dedicated to serving the financial services needs of consumers and businesses within its market area. We attract deposits from the general public and use such funds to originate primarily one- to four-family residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans and commercial loans. To a lesser extent, we originate multi-family loans, construction loans and consumer loans. At March 31, 2006, we operated out of our main office and six offices in Chicopee, West Springfield and Ludlow, Massachusetts.

Statement of Financial Condition Analysis

Overview. Total assets decreased by $1.3 million during the period from December 31, 2005 to March 31, 2006, due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $2.9 million. Loans receivable increased $1.9 million, or 0.6%, during the three month period ending March 31, 2006. One-to four-family, commercial real estate and consumer loans all increased during the period. Securities decreased $462,000, or 1.3%, due to maturities of short-term U.S. Government and federal agency securities.

Deposits increased $2.9 million, or 1.0%, due to competitive interest rates. Most of the growth in deposits was in money market deposit accounts. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased $3.8 million, or 12.9%, as we utilized the advances to fund growth.

Total equity increased $439,000, or 1.0%, at March 31, 2006 primarily as a result of income of $339,000 during the period.

Loans. Our primary lending activity is the origination of loans secured by real estate. We originate one- to four-family residential loans, commercial real estate loans and commercial business loans. To a lesser extent, we originate multi-family, construction and consumer loans.

The following table sets forth the composition of our loan portfolio at the dates indicated.

Net interest income increased $124,000, or 4.2%, to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to the year earlier period primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $37.3 million, combined with an increase in average yield on earning assets from 5.45% to 5.75%. The increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets was primarily due to the deployment of certificates of deposit and Federal Home Loan Bank advances into loans and investment securities. The increase in the average yield was primarily the result of increases in market interest rates. During the same period the average balance of interest bearing liabilities increased by $32.2 million primarily due to an increase of $17.5 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances and an increase of $14.1 in certificates of deposits. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities increased from 2.04% to 2.66% primarily as a result of increases in market interest rates.

The provision for loan losses increased to $150,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2006 from $30,000 for the year earlier period. Management assessed several factors in determining to make this level of addition to the allowance for loan losses. In particular, classified loans increased to $8.8 million at March 31, 2006 from $3.3 million at December 31, 2005, due primarily to the classification as special mention during the 2006 period of a $4.4 million loan relationship collateralized primarily by commercial real estate. Nonaccrual loans also increased to $787,000 at March 31, 2006 from $736,000 at December 31, 2005. In addition, management assessed the continued growth of the loan portfolio, particularly the increases in commercial real estate loans, construction loans and commercial business loans. Offsetting these factors that indicate additional provisions may be needed, was the decrease in net charge-offs for the 2006 period to $3,000 from $8,000 for the 2005 period and the decrease in loans 30 to 89 days past due at March 31, 2006 to $630,000 from $1.2 million at December 31, 2005.

Non-interest income increased $73,000, or 18.4%, in the three months ended March 31, 2006, from the same period the prior year. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, service charges, fees and commissions increased primarily as a result of a $30,000 increase in brokerage fee income. During the 2005 period, we had a temporary reduction in our staffing in this area. In addition, income from servicing charges increased as a result of increased deposit volume. Loan sales and servicing increased primarily due to the capitalization of mortgage servicing rights in the 2006 period.

Total noninterest expenses increased $164,000, or 6.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2006, from the three months ended March 31, 2005. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, salaries and employee benefits and occupancy expenses increased as a result of the opening of our West Springfield branch, including increasing the number of employees to staff the new branch.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $152,000 compared to $184,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Income taxes decreased due to the decrease in income before income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Management

Liquidity Management. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Prepayment rates can have a significant impact on interest income. Because of the large percentage of loans we hold, rising or falling interest rates have a significant impact on the prepayment speeds of our earning assets that in turn affect the rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayments tend to slow. When interest rates fall, prepayments tend to rise. Our asset sensitivity would be reduced if prepayments slow and vice versa. While we believe these assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates will approximate actual loan repayment activity.

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

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2006, cash and cash equivalents totaled $14.7 million. Securities classified as available for sale whose market value exceeds our cost, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $2.9 million at March 31, 2006. Total securities classified as available for sale were $4.7 million at March 31, 2006. In addition, at March 31, 2006, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $120.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. On March 31, 2006, we had $33.2 million of borrowings outstanding. Future growth of our loan portfolio resulting from our expansion efforts may require us to borrow additional funds.

At March 31, 2006, we had $62.9 million in loan commitments outstanding, which consisted of $15.0 million of mortgage loan commitments, $16.7 million in unadvanced construction loan commitments, $7.4 million in unused home equity lines of credit and $23.8 million in commercial lines of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2006 totaled $93.3 million, or 57.5%, of our certificates of deposit. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before March 31, 2006. We believe, however, based on past experience, that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

Capital Management. As a mutual savings bank, we have managed our capital to maintain strong protection for depositors and creditors. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At March 31, 2006 we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements. We are considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

The Offering is expected to increase our consolidated equity by $72.3 million to $115.7 million at the maximum of the Offering. Following completion of the offering, we also will manage our capital for maximum stockholder benefit. The capital from the offering will significantly increase our liquidity and capital resources. Over time, the initial level of liquidity will be reduced as net proceeds from the offering are used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of lending activities. Our financial condition and results of operations are expected to be enhanced by the capital from the offering, resulting in increased net interest-earning assets and net income. However, the large increase in equity resulting from the capital raised in the offering will, initially, have an adverse impact on our return on equity. Following the offering, we may use capital management tools such as cash dividends and common share repurchases. However, under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations, we will not be allowed to repurchase any shares during the first year following the offering, except that stock repurchases of no greater than 5% of outstanding capital stock may be made during this one-year period where compelling and valid business reasons are established to the satisfaction of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, letters of credit and lines of credit. We currently have no plans to engage in hedging activities in the future.

For the period ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Qualitative Aspects of Market Risk. We manage the interest rate sensitivity of our interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets in an effort to minimize the adverse effects of changes in the interest rate environment. Deposit accounts typically react more quickly to changes in market interest rates than mortgage loans because of the shorter maturities of deposits. As a result, sharp increases in interest rates may adversely affect our earnings while decreases in interest rates may beneficially affect our earnings. To reduce the potential volatility of our earnings, we have sought to improve the match between asset and liability maturities and rates, while maintaining an acceptable interest rate spread. Our strategy for managing interest rate risk emphasizes: adjusting the maturities of borrowings; adjusting the investment portfolio mix and duration; increasing our focus on shorter-term, adjustable-rate commercial and multi-family lending; selling fixed-rate mortgage loans; and periodically selling available-for-sale securities. We currently do not participate in hedging programs, interest rate swaps or other activities involving the use of derivative financial instruments.

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

Quantitative Aspects of Market Risk. We analyze our interest rate sensitivity to manage the risk associated with interest rate movements through the use of interest income simulation. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest sensitive.” An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period.

Table of Contents

Our goal is to manage asset and liability positions to moderate the effects of interest rate fluctuations on net interest income. Interest income simulations are completed monthly and presented to the Asset/Liability Committee and Board of Trustees of the Bank. The simulations provide an estimate of the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income under a range of assumptions. The numerous assumptions used in the simulation process are reviewed by the Asset/Liability Committee and the Board of Trustees of the Bank on a quarterly basis. Changes to these assumptions can significantly affect the results of the simulation. The simulation incorporates assumptions regarding the potential timing in the repricing of certain assets and liabilities when market rates change and the changes in spreads between different market rates. The simulation analysis incorporates management’s current assessment of the risk that pricing margins will change adversely over time due to competition or other factors.

Simulation analysis is only an estimate of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. We continually review the potential effect changes in interest rates could have on the repayment of rate sensitive assets and funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities.

The table below sets forth an approximation of our exposure as a percentage of estimated net interest income for the next 12 month period using interest income simulation. The simulation uses projected repricing of assets and liabilities at March 31, 2006 on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated repayments and scheduled rate adjustments. Prepayment rates can have a significant impact on interest income simulation. Because of the large percentage of loans we hold, rising or falling interest rates have a significant impact on the prepayment speeds of our earning assets that in turn affect the rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayments tend to slow. When interest rates fall, prepayments tend to rise. Our asset sensitivity would be reduced if prepayments slow and vice versa. While we believe such assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates will approximate future mortgage-backed security and loan repayment activity.

The following table reflects changes in estimated net interest income for the Bank at March 31, 2006 through March 31, 2007.
