Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits.

     (a)  Financial Statements - not applicable

     (b)  Pro Forma Financial Information

On September 28, 1996, the Registrant's wholly-owned subsidiary, Green
Mountain Bank ("GMB"), Rutland, Vermont, sold five of its six
remaining branches, and substantially all of its remaining deposits
and loans to ALBANK, FSB, Albany, New York (the "ALBANK Transaction"). 
On August 31, 1996, GMB sold substantially all of its trust business
to Vermont National Bank, Brattleboro, Vermont (the "VNB
Transaction").  The pro forma financial information below shows (i)
the effect the ALBANK Transaction and the VNB Transaction would have
had on the Registrant's unaudited balance sheet as of June 30, 1996,
had those transactions occurred on that date, and (ii) the effect the
ALBANK Transaction and the VNB Transaction would have had on the
Registrant's unaudited income statements for the year ended December
31, 1995 and the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, had those
transactions and a similar transaction effected in January 1996
involving the sale of eight GMB branches to Mascoma Savings Bank, FSB
Lebanon, New Hampshire, occurred on January 1, 1995.  The pro forma
unaudited balance sheet as of June 30, 1996, shows that the Registrant
would have had approximately $99.7 million less in total assets as of
that date than the amount of the total assets actually held on such
date.  The pro forma unaudited income statement for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1996, shows that the Registrant would have had
approximately $5.7 million less in net income for such period than the
income actually recognized therefor.
