                           FALMOUTH BANCORP, INC.
                           ----------------------
                              AND SUBSIDIARIES
                              ----------------

            Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

      Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

      The financial statements of Falmouth Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and
its subsidiaries presented herein are unaudited and should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended
September 30, 1999. The results of operations for the three-month and nine
month periods ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year. All material intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of
management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of
results for the interim periods.

      Note 2 - Accounting Policies

      The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to
generally accepted accounting principles and prevailing practices within the
banking industry. The interim financial information should be read in
conjunction with the Company's 1999 Annual Report contained on Form 10-KSB.

      Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect
amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.

      Note 3 - Impact of New Accounting Standard

      In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". Statement No. 133, as amended by SFAS
No. 138, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts and for hedging activities. The Statement is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. In
management's opinion, SFAS No. 133, when adopted, will not have a material
effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

      Note 4 - Earnings per Share

      In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement 128 "Earnings Per Share."
Statement 128 supersedes APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share," and
specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for
earnings per share (EPS) for entities with publicly held common stock or
potential common stock. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with the
presentation of basic EPS, and replaces fully diluted EPS with diluted EPS.
It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of
the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures, and
requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS
computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS calculation.
EPS for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 have
been calculated according to the guidelines of Statement 128. ESOP shares
are only considered outstanding for earnings per share calculations when
they are committed to be released.

Reconciliation of the numerators and the denominators of the basic and
diluted per share comparisons for net income are as follows:

Part I. Item 2.          Management's Discussion and
            Analysis of Financial Condition and Operating Results

General

      Falmouth Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" or "Bancorp"), a Delaware
corporation, is the holding company for Falmouth Co-operative Bank (the
"Bank" or "Falmouth"), a Massachusetts chartered stock co-operative bank. At
June 30, 2000, there were 1,040,538 shares outstanding. The Company's stock
trades on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "FCB".

      The Company's sole business activity is ownership of the Bank. The
Company also makes investments in long and short-term marketable securities
and other liquid investments. The business of the Bank consists of
attracting deposits from the general public and local businesses and using
these funds to originate primarily residential and commercial real estate
loans located in Falmouth, Massachusetts and surrounding areas and to invest
in United States Government and Agency securities. To a lesser extent, the
Bank engages in various forms of consumer and home equity lending. The
Bank's business strategy is to operate as a profitable community bank
dedicated to financing home ownership, small business, and consumer needs in
its market area and to provide personal, high quality service to its
customers. The Bank has two subsidiaries, Falmouth Securities Corporation, a
Massachusetts corporation, which was established solely for the purpose of
acquiring and holding investments that are permissible for banks to hold
under Massachusetts law and Falmouth Capital Corporation, a real estate
investment trust.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999.

      The Company's total assets increased by $13.7 million or 11.53% for
the nine months ended June 30, 2000, from $118.7 million at September 30,
1999 to $132.3 million at June 30, 2000. Total deposits increased $16.9
million or 18.17%, from $92.9 million at September 30, 1999 to $109.8
million at June 30, 2000. This increase was due, in part, to aggressive
marketing efforts to obtain retail checking accounts, commercial checking
accounts and certificates of deposit in a very competitive environment
created by regional bank mergers. Total net loans were $98.0 million or
89.31% of total deposits at June 30, 2000, as compared to $80.5 million or
86.65% of total deposits at September 30, 1999, representing an increase of
$17.5 million. This increase was due, in part, to the continued strong local
real estate market during the last quarter, and the Bank's commitment to
increase its market share. Investment securities were $19.3 million or
14.59% of total assets at June 30, 2000, as compared to $27.5 million or
23.18% of total assets at September 30, 1999. Investment securities
decreased $8.2 million due, in part, to fund loans, pay down short-term
borrowings, as well as the continuing purchase of treasury shares.

      Borrowed funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston have
decreased from $5.4 million at September 30, 1999 to $3.4 million at June
30, 2000. The decrease of $2.0 million was the result of utilizing maturing
securities to repay debt. The securities had been scheduled to mature and
provide liquidity, if needed, in early 2000.

      Securities sold under an agreement to repurchase (sweep accounts for
commercial depositors) increased from $858,000 at September 30, 1999 to $1.0
million at June 30, 2000. The increase was attributed to the increased
liquidity in selected commercial deposit accounts at June 30, 2000.

      Stockholders' equity was $17.8 million at June 30, 2000, as compared
to $19.3 million at September 30, 1999, a decrease of $1.5 million. This
change was primarily the result of an increase in retained earnings of
$608,000, which was off-set by additional treasury shares purchased of $2.2
million under the Company's stock repurchase programs. The ratio of
stockholders equity to total assets was 13.4% at June 30, 2000, and the book
value per share of common stock was $17.07, compared to 16.23% and $16.38,
respectively, at September 30, 1999.

      The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was .68% at
June 30, 2000. Management believes the allowance will be adequate based
upon, among other things, past loss experience, prevailing economic
conditions, and the level of credit risk in the loan portfolio. However, the
Bank may periodically provide additional provisions as deemed necessary to
maintain a sufficient allowance for the loan loss to total loan ratio. The
Bank added $104,000 to the allowance during the nine month period ended June
30, 2000. The Bank plans to continue to set aside additional specific
reserves for commercial loans and large residential mortgages.

Comparison of Operating Results

      Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999

      Net Income. The Company's net income for the three months ended June
30, 2000, was $316,000 as compared to $239,000 at June 30, 1999. The
increase in net income of $77,000 was primarily due to an increase in
interest and dividend income of $250,000, an increase in other income of
$53,000, and a decrease in income taxes of $17,000, offset, in part, by an
increase in the provision for loan losses of $62,000, an increase in other
expenses of $56,000, and an increase in interest expenses of $125,000. The
annualized return on average assets (ROA) for the three months ended June
30, 2000 was 1.08%, an increase of 24 basis points as compared to 0.84% for
the same period of the prior year.

      Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $2,127,000, an increase of $250,000
as compared to $1,877,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1999.
The increase in interest and dividend income was attributable to the
increase in the loan portfolio that provided an increase in interest and
fees on loans of $331,000, which was off-set by a decrease in debt
securities and dividends on marketable equity securities of $33,000, a
decrease in dividends on Cooperative Bank Investment Fund of $34,000, and a
decrease in other interest of $14,000.

      Interest Expense. Total interest expense for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 was $935,000, as compared to $810,000 for the same period of
the prior year, for an increase of $125,000. This was the result of
increased deposits as well as slightly higher interest rates.

      Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income for
the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 was $1,192,000 as compared to
$1,068,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The increase of
$125,000 was the result of a $250,000 increase in interest and dividend
income primarily due to the active real estate market, offset, in part, with
a $125,000 increase in interest expense. The increase in interest expense
was the result of higher interest rates due to the competitive local market
and the large increase in deposits. The net interest margin for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 was 3.78% a decrease of 11 basis points, as
compared to 3.89% for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease in
net interest margin was primarily the result of increased interest expense.

      Provision for loan losses. The Bank added $74,000 to its provision for
loan losses during the quarter ended June 30, 2000 due to its expanding
mortgage portfolio and to maintain an adequate provision to total loan
ratio. Management believes that, although the provision is deemed adequate
based on its delinquency and loan loss history, additional provisions may be
added from time to time as the loan portfolio expands by loan type and
volume, including the expansion of the commercial loan portfolio. At June
30, 2000, the bank has recorded a consumer loan loss of $2,000, one consumer
loan of $3,000 classified as loss, and no loans classified as doubtful.

      Other Income. Other income for the three-month period ended June 30,
2000 was $164,000, as compared to $111,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1999. The $53,000 increase was primarily the result of an increase in
net gains realized from the sale of investment securities of $75,000, an
increase in other income of $6,000, and an increase in service charge income
of $4,000, partially offset by a decrease in gains on mortgages sold of
$32,000.

      Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended June
30, 2000 were $806,000, as compared to $750,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1999. The $56,000 increase was primarily due to the combination of
an increase in legal and professional fees of $39,000 from the formation of
the Bank's Real Estate Investment Trust, an increase in other expenses of
$14,000, an increase in occupancy expense of $8,000, and an increase in
equipment expense of $4,000, offset, in part by a decrease in salaries and
employee benefits of $5,000, a decrease in directors' fees of $1,000 and a
decrease in data processing expense of $3,000. The annualized ratio of
operating expenses to average total assets for the three months ended June
30, 2000 was 2.77% as compared to 2.64% for the three-month period ended
June 30, 1999, an increase of 13 basis points. The increase in other
operating expenses was due, primarily, to the formation of a Real Estate
Investment Trust, a subsidiary of the Falmouth Co-operative Bank, as part of
the Company's tax management planning. The Company expects legal and
professional fees for the tax planning will continue until early 2001.

      Nine Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999

      Net Income. The Company's net income for the nine months ended June 30,
2000 was $854,000 as compared to $618,000 at June 30, 1999, an increase of
38.08% or $235,000. Total interest and dividend income increased $408,000, or
7.30% due, primarily, to increased loan activity. This gain was off set, in
part, by increases in interest expense and operating costs. Security gains
net, amounted to $302,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2000, as
compared to $73,000 for nine months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of
$229,000. The current economic environment has facilitated Bank management's
goal to increase mortgage loans funded by investment securities and a growth
in deposits.

      Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income for
the nine months ended June 30, 2000 was $6.0 million, an increase of $408,000
as compared to $5.6 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 1999.
The increase in interest and dividend income is attributable to growth in the
loan portfolio that provided for an increase in interest and fee income of
$559,000. This was offset by a decrease in income on investment securities of
$13,000, a $99,000 decrease in dividends on the Co-operative Bank Investment
Fund, and a decrease in other interest of $39,000. Management expects income
derived from loan assets to continue to increase in the form of interest and
fees on loans, with interest on investments remaining relatively constant.

      Interest Expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30,
2000 was $2.7 million, which includes $206,000 in interest on FHLB advances,
an increase of $150,000 from $2.5 million for the nine months ended June 30,
1999. There was a $185,000 increase in interest on deposits and a $36,000
decrease in interest on borrowed funds. Additional borrowings may be utilized
as an interim source of loan funding; however, it is not expected to be
necessary.

      Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest income for the nine-
month period ended June 30, 2000 was $3.3 million as compared to $3.1 million
for the nine months ended June 30, 1999. The net interest margin for the nine
months ended June 30, 2000 was 3.78%, a decrease of 11 basis points as
compared to 3.89% for the nine months ended June 30, 1999. The annualized
return on average assets (ROA) for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2000
was 1.08%, an increase of 24 basis points, as compared to .84% for the same
period of the prior year. The reason for the increase in the ROA was
primarily due to the growth of the loan portfolio during the period.

      Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank added $104,000 to its allowance for
loan loss account for the nine months ended June 30, 2000, to compensate for
the increase in the dollar growth of the loan portfolio. Management believes
the provision to be adequate and commensurate with the level of credit risk.

      Other Income. Other income for the nine-month period ended June 30,
2000 was $565,000 as compared to $378,000 for the nine months ended June 30,
1999. The $186,000 increase is primarily the result of $302,000 in securities
gains net, on the sale of investment securities taken during the nine months
ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $73,000 for the nine months ended June
30, 1999.  The period ended June 30, 2000 also showed $2,000 in gains on the
sale of loans. There was $89,000 in gains on the sale of loans for the same
period of the previous year.

      Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the nine months ended June
30, 2000 were $2.4 million as compared to $2.2 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 1999. The $238,000 increase was primarily due to an increase
in salaries and employee benefits of $31,000, an increase in other operating
expenses of $115,000, an increase of legal and professional fees of $76,000,
an increase in equipment expense of $5,000 and an increase in occupancy
expenses of $13,000, partially off-set by a decrease in data processing
expense of $1,000 and a decrease in director's fees of $1,000. The increase
on legal & professional fees and other operating expenses were primarily the
result of the formation of the Bank's Real Estate Investment Trust as part of
the Bank's tax planning. The ratio of annualized operating expenses to
average total assets for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 was 2.77% as
compared to 2.64% for the nine-month period ended June 30, 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Bank's primary sources of funds consist of deposits, repayment and
prepayment of loans and mortgaged-backed securities, maturities of
investments and interest-bearing deposits, and funds provided from
operations. While scheduled repayments of loans and mortgage-backed
securities and maturities of investment securities are predictable sources
of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the
general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The
Bank uses its liquidity resources principally to fund existing and future
loan commitments, to fund net deposit outflows, to invest in other interest-
earning assets, to maintain liquidity, and to meet operating expenses.

      The Bank is required to maintain adequate levels of liquid assets.
This guideline, which may be varied depending upon economic conditions and
deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term
borrowings. The Bank has historically maintained a level of liquid assets in
excess of regulatory requirements. The Bank's liquidity ratio at June 30,
2000 was 25.66%.

      A major portion of the Bank's liquidity consists of short-term
securities obligations. The level of these assets is dependent on the Bank's
operating, investing, lending and financing activities during any given
period. At June 30, 2000, regulatory liquidity totaled $29.0 million. The
primary investing activities of the Bank include origination of loans and
the purchase of investment securities.

      Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of
management. If the Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them
internally, the Bank believes that it could borrow additional funds from the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLB). At June 30, 2000, the Bank had
outstanding advances from the FHLB of Boston in the amount of $3.4 million
in short and long-term borrowings. As these advances mature, they will be
repaid or re-written as longer term matched borrowings which will assist the
match of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities.

      At June 30, 2000, the Bank had $7.9 million in outstanding residential
and commercial commitments to originate loans, as well as $13.8 million in
unadvanced loan commitments. If the Bank anticipates that it may not have
sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments it may
commence further matched borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Boston. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in one year or
less totaled $41.1 million at June 30, 2000. Based on historical experience,
management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain
with the Bank.

      At June 30, 2000 the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital
requirements.
