NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated interim financial statements of Medford Bancorp, Inc. (the
"Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Medford Savings Bank (the "Bank")
presented herein are intended to be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements presented in the Company's annual report for the year ended
December 31, 1999.
The consolidated financial information for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, however, the
consolidated financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely
of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.
Note 2. Commitments
At September 30, 2000, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate new
residential and commercial real estate mortgage loans totaling approximately
$9.8 million, which are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheet.
Unadvanced funds on equity lines were $23.6 million, unadvanced construction
loan funds were $16.5 million, and unadvanced funds on commercial lines of
credit were $10.5 million at September 30, 2000.
Note 3. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders
divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would
have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as
well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed conversion.
Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to
outstanding stock options, and are determined using the treasury stock method.
The assumed conversion of outstanding dilutive stock options would increase the
shares outstanding but would not require an adjustment to income as a result of
the conversion.
Note 4. Defined Benefit Plan Termination
On January 26, 2000 the Board of Directors of the Bank voted to amend its
employee benefit programs to provide for the cessation of pension benefit
accruals effective February 29, 2000 in conjunction with its termination of the
Defined Benefit Pension Plan ("Plan") effective March 31, 2000. Final Plan
termination is subject to IRS approval.
During the first quarter of 2000, the Bank recorded an after-tax gain of
$700,000 from the curtailment of its Plan. It is anticipated that the Bank will
record an after-tax gain of approximately $1.2 million upon settlement and
distribution of the Plan assets during the fourth quarter of 2000. On an
on-going basis, a portion of the cost of providing the Plan will be reallocated
to enhance 401(k) benefits for employees.

ITEM 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation
GENERAL
This form 10-Q contains certain statements that may be considered
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements as a result, among other factors, of
changes in general national or regional economic conditions, changes in loan
default and charge-off rates, reductions in deposit levels necessitating
increased borrowing to fund loans and investments, changes in interest rates,
changes in the size and nature of the Company's competition, and changes in the
assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements.
Consolidated net income was $3,016,000, or basic earnings per share of $0.37
($0.36 diluted basis), for the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared
to $3,028,000, or basic earnings per share of $0.36 ($0.35 diluted basis), for
the comparable prior year period.
Net interest income was $9,010,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, up
$226,000 or 2.6% from the comparable 1999 period, and represented a net interest
margin of 2.93% which compared to 3.06% for the comparable 1999 period. Net loss
on sale of assets was $90,000 for the 2000 third quarter compared to a net loss
of $6,000 for the same quarter in 1999.
Total operating expenses were $4,997,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
2000, up $220,000 or 4.6% from $4,777,000 during the comparable period in 1999.
There was no provision for loan losses recorded for the three-month periods
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.
For the third quarter of 2000, the annualized return on assets was 0.94% and the
annualized return on equity was 13.04%, compared to 1.00% and 13.26%,
respectively, for the comparable period in 1999.
Consolidated net income was $9,853,000, or basic earnings per share of $1.21
($1.17 diluted basis), for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to
$9,728,000, or basic earnings per share of $1.16 ($1.11 diluted basis), for the
comparable prior year period. Basic and diluted earnings per share have
increased 4.3% and 5.4%, respectively, while consolidated net income increased
$125,000 or 1.3% for the nine months comparative period.
Net interest income was $27,072,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2000, up $1.2 million or 4.5% from the comparable 1999 period, and represented a
net interest margin of 2.96% compared to 3.04% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. The net loss on sales of assets totaled $164,000 for the
first nine months of 2000 compared to a gain of $1,525,000 for the same
nine-month period in 1999. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000 there
was a $1.2 million pre-tax curtailment gain from the termination of the
Company's defined benefit pension plan.

<PAGE>
Total operating expenses were $14,855,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2000, up $663,000 or 4.7% from $14,192,000 during the comparable period in
1999. The provision for loan losses recorded for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 was $75,000 compared to zero for the same prior year period.
For the first nine months of 2000, the annualized return on assets was 1.05% and
the annualized return on equity was 14.75%, compared to 1.10% and 13.83%,
respectively, for the comparable period in 1999.
Total non-performing assets were $826,000 or 0.06% of total assets at September
30, 2000, compared to $2,500,000 or 0.20%, respectively, at December 31, 1999.
The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2000 was $6,842,000, representing
1.01% of total loans. At December 31, 1999, the allowance for loan losses was
$6,779,000, representing 1.07% of total loans. The Company had no foreclosed
real estate at September 30, 2000 or December 31, 1999.
The Company had total assets of $1.31 billion and capital of $95.9 million at
September 30, 2000, representing a capital to assets ratio of 7.35%, exceeding
all regulatory requirements. When compared to December 31, 1999, investment
securities increased $40.5 million or 7.6% to $576.3 million, total gross loans
increased $42.5 million or 6.7% to $676.0 million, deposits increased $51.9
million or 5.7% to $963.3 million, and borrowings increased $26.2 million or
12.2% to $241.9 million.
A more detailed discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and
results of operations follows.

Investment securities increased $40.5 million from $535.8 million at December
31, 1999 to $576.3 million at September 30, 2000. At September 30, 2000 the
securities portfolio classified as "available for sale" reflected a net
unrealized pre-tax loss of $8.8 million as a result of the ongoing changes in
market interest rates as compared to an unrealized pre-tax loss of $15.4 million
at December 31, 1999. In accordance with the Company's asset-liability
strategies, purchases of mortgage-backed securities are primarily in fifteen
year mortgages with weighted-average lives of six years and other investment
securities are generally short-term with maturities of five years or less.
Sales of debt securities produced a loss of $90,000 during the 2000 third
quarter and a loss of $154,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
compared to losses of $6,000 and gains of $1,483,000 for the third quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively. Sales of equities produced
losses of $10,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to
gains of $39,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. There were no
sales of equities recorded in either of the quarterly periods ended September
30, 2000 and 1999.

========= =========
Total gross loans outstanding at September 30, 2000 increased $42.5 million to
$675.9 million when compared to the December 31, 1999 level. The increase in
gross loans can be principally explained by the growth in residential 1-4 family
real estate mortgage loans of $24.9 million, commercial real estate loans of
$13.5 million and construction real estate loans of $8.9 million from the
December 31, 1999 levels. Changes in all other loan categories during the three
months ended September 30, 2000 are representative of net activity in new loan
originations and amortization and payoffs.
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
Total non-performing assets were $826,000 and $2.5 million at September 30, 2000
and December 31, 1999, respectively. There were no foreclosed assets at
September 30, 2000 or December 31, 1999. As a percentage of total assets,
nonperforming assets equaled 0.06% and 0.20% at September 30, 2000 and December
31, 1999, respectively. Fluctuations in total nonperforming assets occur from
quarter to quarter but remain at historically low levels. It is the Company's
general policy to place loans on a non-accrual status when such loans become 90
days contractually delinquent or when the collectibility of principal or
interest payments becomes doubtful. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status,
its interest income accrual ceases and all income previously accrued but unpaid
is reversed.
14
<PAGE>
In accordance with SFAS No. 114, a loan is considered impaired when, based on
current information and events, it is probable that the borrower will be unable
to meet principal or interest payments as agreed in the original loan contract.
The principal balance of impaired loans at September 30, 2000 was $814,000, all
of which were included in the $826,000 non-performing assets referenced in the
preceding paragraph. The loan loss allowance allocated to these impaired loans
was $114,000 at September 30, 2000.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
A summary of the activity in the allowance for loan losses follows:
Nine Months Ended

2000 1999
------- -------
(In thousands)
Balance at beginning of period $ 6,779 $ 6,876
Provision for loan losses 75 --
Recoveries 46 49
Loans charged-off (58) (153)
------- -------
Balance at end of period $ 6,842 $ 6,772
======= =======
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses
charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when
management believes the collectibility of the loan balance is unlikely.
Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and
is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in
light of historical experience, known inherent risks in the nature and volume of
the loan portfolio, levels of non-performing loans, adverse situations that may
affect the borrowers' ability to repay, trends in delinquencies and charge-offs,
estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic
conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates
that are susceptible to significant revision, as more information becomes
available. Ultimate losses may vary from current estimates and future additions
to the allowance may be necessary.
The allowance for loan losses was $6.8 million at September 30, 2000, a reserve
coverage of 1.01% of total loans. At December 31, 1999, the allowance for loan
losses was $6.8 million, representing 1.07% of total loans.

DEPOSITS
Total deposits increased $51.9 million from December 31, 1999 to $963.3 million
at September 30, 2000. Generally, the Company's strategy is to maintain stable
deposit rates and to increase deposit levels through selective core deposit and
term deposit promotions. To retain core deposits, the Company continues to
promote its "ComboPlus" account, which combines a statement savings and a demand
account. This "ComboPlus" account has contributed to an increase in both its
related savings and demand deposits. The following table indicates the balances
in various deposit accounts at the dates indicated.

BORROWED FUNDS
Historically, the Company has selectively engaged in long-term borrowings to
fund loans and has entered into short-term repurchase agreements to fund
investment securities purchases. At September 30, 2000, the Company's long-term
borrowings increased by $63.5 million to $212.1 million from $148.6 million at
December 31, 1999 while its short-term borrowings decreased by $37.2 million to
$29.8 million from $67.1 million at year-end. At September 30, 2000, borrowed
funds totaled $241.9 million, increasing $26.3 million from the $215.7 million
reported at December 31, 1999.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Company's capital to assets ratio was 7.35% and 7.42% at September 30, 2000
and December 31, 1999, respectively.
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various
regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and
possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken,
could have a direct material effect on the Company's and the Bank's financial
statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action, the Company and/or the Bank must meet specific capital
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and
certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. Holding companies, such as the Company, are not subject to prompt
corrective action provisions. The capital amounts and classification are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors.
16
<PAGE>
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total
and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). As of December
31, 1999, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to be
categorized as well capitalized. No conditions or events occurred during the
first nine months of 2000 that management believes have changed the Company's or
the Bank's category. Therefore, management believes as of September 30, 2000
that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to continue
to be categorized as well capitalized.
The Company's book value at September 30, 2000 was $11.90 per share, compared
with $10.84 per share at December 31, 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 VS QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
NET INTEREST INCOME
Interest and dividend income from loans and investments increased $2.2 million
or 11.3% to $21.9 million for the 2000 third quarter when compared to the same
quarter in 1999. For the 2000 third quarter, average earning assets totaled
$1.248 billion, an increase of $82.1 million or 7.1% over the comparable average
for 1999, with $26.4 million of that increase attributed to short and long-term
investment securities and $55.7 million attributed to loans. The annualized
yields on earning assets were 7.03% and 6.76% for the third quarters in 2000 and
1999, respectively. The yield on investment securities was 6.33% for the third
quarter 2000 as compared 6.04% for the third quarter 1999. Short and long-term
investments contributed $821,000 of additional interest and dividend income when
comparing the third quarter of 2000 to the third quarter of 1999, primarily as a
result of higher average balances. The increase in the average balance on loans
and an increase in the yield, from 7.43% to 7.65%, caused interest income on
loans to increase by $1,387,000 from its 1999 third quarter level.
Total interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $12.9
million, reflecting an increase of $2.0 million or 18.4% over the same period in
1999. At September 30, 2000 average interest-bearing liabilities were $1.12
billion, an increase of $66.5 million or 5.9% over the comparable prior year
period. This period-to-period increase can be attributed to average deposit
growth of $46.4 million and average borrowed funds increasing $20.1 million.
Overall, interest expense on deposits increased $1.3 million to $9.5 million as
a result of the increase in average deposits and in rates paid from 3.77% to
4.17% for the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Interest
expense on borrowed funds increased $661,000 as the average balances increased
and the rates paid on borrowed funds increased 68 basis points to 6.12% in the
third quarter of 2000 compared to the third quarter in 1999. The overall cost of
interest bearing liabilities increased to 4.56% from 4.08% when comparing the
two quarters.
Net interest income increased 2.6% or $226,000 to $9.0 million when comparing
the third quarter in 2000 to the same quarter in 1999 even as the weighted
average rate spread decreased by 21 basis points to 2.47% while the net interest
margin decreased 13 basis points to 2.93%. The increase in net interest income
is primarily due to increased levels of earning assets while the basis point
declines in spread and margin reflect the changing mix of earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities. The yield on earning assets increased 27 basis
points to 7.03% in the third quarter 2000 as compared to the same quarter in
1999, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 48 basis
points to 4.56%. This resulted in an interest rate spread and a net interest
margin of 2.47% and 2.93%, respectively, for the three months ended September
30, 2000.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses represents a charge against current earnings and
an addition to the allowance for loan losses. The provision is determined by
management on the basis of many factors, including the quality of specific
loans, risk characteristics of the loan portfolio generally, the level of non
performing loans, current economic conditions, trends in delinquency and
charge-offs, and value of the underlying collateral. Management considers the
allowance for loan losses to be adequate at September 30, 2000, although there
can be no assurance that the allowance is adequate or that additional provisions
to the allowance for loan losses will not be necessary.
Growth in the loan portfolio was offset by the reduced allocation associated
with non-performing loans and the Company recorded no provision for loan losses
for the third quarter of 2000 and 1999. The Company recorded net loan recoveries
of $26,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to net loan
charge-offs of $75,000 for the same period in 1999.
OTHER INCOME
Other income, including customer service fees and gains and losses on sales of
assets equaled $641,000 in the third quarter of 2000 as compared to $647,000 in
the third quarter of 1999, representing a decrease of $6,000 or 0.93%. The
increase in losses on sales of securities when comparing the third quarter of
2000 to the third quarter of 1999 principally accounts for the decrease in other
income. See related discussions under "Investment Securities" included in
"Management's Discussion and Analysis" in Item 2 of Part 1 of this report.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses increased $220,000 or 4.6% to $4,997,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 when compared to the same period in 1999. Salaries and
employee benefits increased $55,000, when comparing the third quarter of 2000 to
1999. Other general and administrative expenses increased $93,000 when comparing
the three months ended September 30, 2000 and the same period in 1999. The
Company's annualized expense ratio, which is the ratio of non-interest expense
to average assets, was 1.59% for the three months ended September 30, 2000, as
compared to 1.58% for the prior year comparable period. The Company continues to
focus on cost containment with the intent to be a low cost provider of high
quality banking products and services.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective tax rate for three months ended September 30, 2000 was
35.2% as compared to 34.9% for the period ended September 30, 1999.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 VS NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
NET INTEREST INCOME
Interest and dividend income from loans and investments increased $5.7 million
or 9.9% to $63.6 million for the first nine months of 2000 when compared to
1999. Over the first half of 2000 average earning assets totaled $1.2 billion,
an increase of $86.2 million or 7.6% over the comparable average for 1999, with
$29.2 million of that increase attributed to short and long-term investment
securities and $57.0 million attributed to loans. The annualized yields on
earning assets were 6.93% and 6.78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
and 1999, respectively. The yield on investment securities was 6.19% for the
first half of 2000, an increase of 16 basis points from 6.03% for the same
period in 1999. Short and long-term investments contributed $2,059,000 of
additional interest and dividend income when comparing the first nine months of
2000 to the first nine months of 1999, primarily as a result of higher average
balances. The increase in the average balance on loans and yield from 7.48% to
7.58% caused interest income on loans to increase by $3,662,000 from the 1999
nine-month period.
Total interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $36.5
million, reflecting an increase of $4.5 million or 14.2% over the same period in
1999. At September 30, 2000 average interest-bearing liabilities were $1.103
billion, an increase of $72.9 million or 6.6% over the comparable prior year
period. This period-to-period increase can be attributed to average deposit
growth of $37.9 million and average borrowed funds increasing $35.0 million.
Deposit growth occurred as rates paid increased from 3.86% to 4.03% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Overall, interest
expense on deposits increased $2.3 million to $26.8 million due to increases in
both average deposits and rates paid. Interest expense on borrowed funds
increased $2.3 million as the average balances increased and the rates paid on
borrowed funds increased 48 basis points to 5.93% in the first nine months of
2000 compared to the first nine months of 1999. The overall cost of interest
bearing liabilities increased to 4.40% from 4.14% when comparing the two
periods.
Net interest income increased 4.5% or $1.2 million to $27.1 million when
comparing the nine months in 2000 to the same period in 1999 even as the
weighted average rate spread and the net interest margin decreased by 11 and 8
basis points, respectively. The increase in net interest income is primarily due
to increased levels of earning assets while the basis point declines in spread
and margin reflect the changing mix of earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities. The yield on earning assets increased 15 basis points to 6.93% in
the first nine months of 2000 as compared to the first nine months of 1999,
while the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased by 26 basis points to
4.40%. This resulted in an interest rate spread and a net interest margin of
2.53% and 2.96%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

can be no assurance that the allowance is adequate or that additional provisions
to the allowance for loan losses will not be necessary.
Due to growth in the loan portfolio, the Company recorded a $75,000 provision
for loan losses for the first nine months of 2000. No provision for loan losses
was recorded for the first nine months of 1999. The Company recorded net loan
charge-offs of $12,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to
net loan charge-offs of $104,000 for the same period in 1999.
OTHER INCOME
Other income, including customer service fees and gains and losses on sales of
assets equaled $3.3 million in the first nine months of 2000 as compared to $3.5
million in the first nine months of 1999, representing a decrease of $255,000 or
7.2%. The $1.7 million decrease in combined gains on sales of securities and
loans, when comparing the first nine months of 2000 to 1999, was partially
offset by a $1.2 million pre-tax curtailment of the Company's defined benefit
pension plan. See related discussions under "Investment Securities" included in
"Management's Discussion and Analysis" in Item 2 of Part I and "Note 4. Defined
Benefit Pension Plan Termination" in Item 1 of Part I of this report.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses increased $663,000 or 4.7% to $14,855,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 when compared to the same period in 1999. Salaries and
employee benefits rose $339,000 during the first nine months of 2000 when
compared to 1999, reflecting combined effects of increased staffing and wage
pressures in a tight labor market. Other general and administrative expenses
increased $248,000 when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
the same period in 1999. The Company's annualized expense ratio, which is the
ratio of non-interest expense to average assets, was 1.58% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, as compared to 1.63% for the prior year comparable
period. The Company continues to focus on cost containment with the intent to be
a low cost provider of high quality banking products and services.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective tax rate for both the nine months ended September 30,
2000 and the comparable 1999 period was 36.1%.

<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's principal sources of funds are customer deposits, amortization and
payoff of existing loan principal and sales or maturities of various investment
securities. The Company is a voluntary member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Boston ("FHLBB"), and as such may take advantage of the FHLBB's borrowing
programs to enhance liquidity and leverage its favorable capital position. The
Company also may draw on lines of credit at the FHLBB and a large commercial
bank, and it may pledge U.S. Government securities to borrow from certain
investment firms and the Mutual Savings Central Fund of Massachusetts. These
various sources of liquidity are used to fund withdrawals, new loans, and
investments.
Management seeks to promote deposit growth while controlling the Company's cost
of funds. Sales oriented programs to attract new depositors and the
cross-selling of various products to its existing customer base are currently in
place. Management reviews, on an ongoing basis, possible new products, with
particular attention to products and services that will assist retention of the
Company's base of lower-costing deposits.
Maturities and sales of investment securities provide significant liquidity to
the Company. The Company's policy of purchasing shorter-term debt securities
reduces market risk in the bond portfolio while providing significant cash flow.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 cash flow from maturities and sales
of securities was $80.8 million compared to $163.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. Principal payments received on mortgage-backed
investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 totaled
$23.3 million and $40.5 million, respectively. During periods of high interest
rates, maturities in the bond portfolio could provide liquidity at a lower cost
than borrowings.
Amortization and payoffs of the loan portfolio also contribute significant
liquidity to the Company. Traditionally, the amortization and payoffs have been
reinvested into loans. When payoff rates exceed origination rates, excess
liquidity from loan payoffs is shifted into the investment portfolio.
The Company also uses borrowed funds as a source of liquidity. These borrowings
generally contribute toward funding over-all loan growth as well as purchases of
mortgage-backed securities. At September 30, 2000 the Company's outstanding
borrowings from the FHLBB were $212.1 million, as compared to $193.6 million at
December 31, 1999. The Company also utilizes repurchase agreements as a source
of funding when management deems market conditions to be conducive to such
activities. Repurchase agreements totaled $29.1 million at September 30, 2000 as
compared to $21.2 million at December 31, 1999.
Commitments to originate residential and commercial real estate mortgage loans
at September 30, 2000, excluding unadvanced construction funds of $5.6 million,
were $4.2 million. Management believes that adequate liquidity is available to
fund loan commitments utilizing deposits, loan amortization, maturities of
securities, or borrowings.

ASSET-LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
Through the Company's Asset-Liability Management Committee ("ALCO"), which is
comprised of certain senior and middle management personnel, the Company
monitors the level and general mix of interest rate-sensitive assets and
liabilities. The primary objective of the Company's ALCO program is to manage
the assets and liabilities of the Company to provide for optimum profitability
and capital at prudent levels of liquidity and interest rate, credit, and market
risk.
It is ALCO's general policy to closely match the maturity or rate sensitivity of
its assets and liabilities. In accordance with this policy, certain strategies
have been implemented to improve the match between interest rate sensitive
assets and liabilities. These strategies include, but are not limited to: daily
monitoring of the Company's changing cash requirements, with particular
concentration on investment in short term securities; originating adjustable and
fixed rate mortgage loans for the Company's own portfolio; managing the cost and
structure of deposits; and generally using matched borrowings to fund specific
purchases of loan packages and large loan origination. Occasionally, management
may choose to deviate from specific matching of maturities of assets and
liabilities, if an attractive opportunity to enhance yields becomes available.
The Company actively manages its liability portfolio in order to effectively
plan and manage growth and maturities of deposits. Management recognizes the
need for strict attention to all deposits. Accordingly, plans for growth of all
deposit types are reviewed regularly. Programs are in place which are designed
to build multiple relationships with customers and to enhance the Company's
ability to retain deposits at controlled rates of interest, and management has
adopted a policy of reviewing interest rates on an ongoing basis on all deposit
accounts in order to control deposit growth and interest costs.
In addition to attracting deposits, the Company has selectively borrowed funds
using advances from the FHLBB and, upon occasion, reverse repurchase agreements.
These funds have generally been used to fund loans typically having a
matched repricing date as well as purchases of mortgage-backed securities.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated financial data
presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and
results of operations in terms of historical dollars without considering changes
in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The
primary effect of inflation on the operations of the Company is reflected in
increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all
assets of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest
rates have a more significant effect on a financial institution's performance
than the effect of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not
necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of
goods and services.
