    Non-interest expenses totaled $2,185,468 for the first quarter ended March
31, 1997 as compared to $1,853,226 for the same period in 1996, an increase of
$332,242 or 17.9%. The principal increases are wage and benefit costs, occupancy
costs, and marketing costs. The Bank has increased personnel in all customer
related areas. The Company's lending perspective has grown and along with this
the Company has increased staff to be able to meet its customers borrowing needs
and to maintain our portfolio. The increase of branch personnel relates to two
new locations, a location in Hingham which opened in May of 1996 and a second
Quincy location that opened in November of 1996. Occupancy expenses increased
due to the addition of the two new full service branches mentioned above.
Marketing and advertising costs also increased as a result of the ongoing
expansion of our franchise.

Liquidity and Capital

                                      11
<PAGE>

    The Company attempts to maximize interest-earning assets while maintaining
sufficient funds on hand to meet loan commitments, cash disbursements and
possible deposit outflows. The Company obtains funds for investment and other
banking purposes principally from deposits, borrowings, loan repayments and
through sales of loans, loan participations and securities available for sale,
and maturity of investment securities are a relatively stable source of funds,
deposit flows are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions and competitive factors. Borrowings may also be used to offset
reductions in other sources of funds such as deposits. The Bank may borrow up to
30% of its total assets but not more than 20 times its capital stock holdings in
the FHLB for any sound business purpose for which the Bank has legal authority.
Borrowings authorized totaled $53,414,000 at March 31, 1997.
 
Capital Resources and Dividends
 
    The Company's regulators have classified and defined capital into the 
following components: (1) Tier I capital, which includes tangible 
stockholders' equity for common stock and certain perpetual preferred stock, 
and (2) Tier II capital, which includes a portion of the allowance for 
possible loan losses, certain qualifying long-term debt and preferred stock 
which does not qualify for Tier I capital. In addition, they have implemented 
risk-based capital guidelines that require a bank to maintain certain minimum 
capital as a percent of such bank's assets and certain off-balance sheet 
items adjusted for pre-defined credit risk factors (risk-adjusted assets). As 
of March 31, 1997 the Bank's Tier I and Tier II capital ratios were 11.2% and 
12.25%, respectively. In addition to the risk-based guidelines discussed 
above, the Bank's regulators require that the Bank maintain a minimum 
leverage (Tier I capital as a percent of

                                      12
<PAGE>

tangible assets) of 4.0%. As of March 31, 1997 the Bank had a leverage
capital ratio of 6.96%.
 
Asset/Liability Management
 
    The overall interest rate sensitivity of the Bank is dependent upon the 
bank's ability to reprice its interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. 
The ability to successfully manage the repricing of assets and liabilities 
significantly reduces the interest rate risk in any interest rate 
environment. As of March 31, 1997 the Bank is net liability sensitive for the 
next twelve months going forward, and for the following one to two year 
period, net asset sensitive in the two to three and three to five year time 
horizons, liability sensitive in the five to ten year horizon and asset 
sensitive thereafter. The Bank's management monitors and manages interest 
rate risk as an integral part of its overall business strategy.
