no significant assets other than all of the shares of the Bank's capital stock
acquired in the Conversion and an amount equal to 50% of the net proceeds of the
Conversion, including the loan to the ESOP Loan Subsidiary, and will have no
significant liabilities. The Company intends to use a portion of the net
proceeds it retains to form and capitalize the ESOP Loan Subsidiary which will
loan funds to the ESOP to purchase 8% of the stock issued in connection with the
Conversion, including shares issued to the Foundation. Based on certain
regulatory and market conditions, the Company and the Bank may, however,
alternatively choose to fund the ESOP's stock purchases through a loan by a
third party financial institution. The remaining net proceeds will be used for
general business activities, including the funding of the Stock-Based Incentive
Plan. Initially, net proceeds are expected to be invested by the Company in a
deposit account in the Bank. See "Use of Proceeds." The management of the
Company is set forth under "Management of the Company." Initially, the Company
will neither own nor lease any property, but will instead use the premises,
equipment and furniture of the Bank. At the present time, the Company does not
intend to employ any persons other than certain officers who are currently
officers of the Bank but will utilize the support staff of the Bank from time to
time. Additional employees will be hired as appropriate to the extent the
Company expands its business in the future.

      Management believes that the holding company structure will provide
flexibility to diversify its business activities through existing or newly
formed subsidiaries (which subsidiaries could be financial institutions), or
through acquisitions of or mergers with other financial institutions and
financial services related companies. Although there are no current
arrangements, understandings or agreements regarding any such opportunities, the
Company will be in a position after the Conversion, subject to regulatory
limitations and the Company's financial position, to take advantage of any such
acquisition and expansion opportunities that may arise. The initial activities
of the Company are anticipated to be funded by the proceeds to be retained by
the Company, income thereon and through dividends from the Bank.

      The Company's executive office is located at the administrative offices of
the Bank, 1442 Dorchester Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02122. Its telephone
number is (617) 825-5555.
