                             BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

THE COMPANY

     The  Company was  organized  in March of 1985 for the purpose of becoming a
bank holding company, to own and control one hundred percent (100%) of the stock
of the  Bank.  The  Company's  primary  asset  is the  stock of the Bank and the
Company's primary activity is in connection with the operation of the Bank.

     While the Company has no immediate  plans to do so, the Company may, in the
future,  examine  opportunities for acquiring  additional banks and diversifying
its activities into permissible non-banking activities.

THE BANK

     The Bank is a national banking association  organized under the laws of the
United  States in 1881.  The Bank has served the banking  needs of the Plymouth,
New Hampshire  community since its organization.  The Bank has paid dividends in
each year since 1882.  The Bank  operates  out of five  locations:  The Downtown
Plymouth  office  which was  constructed  in 1955 and served as the Main  Office
until June 1990;  the Campton  office,  constructed  in 1975;  the West Plymouth
office,  constructed in 1979; the Ashland  office,  constructed in 1987; and the
North  Woodstock  office,  opened in 1993. In 1990, the West Plymouth office was
refurbished  with 16,000 sq. ft. of working  space being added to the  facility.
This  location  became the Main  Office in June 1990.  The Bank's  deposits  are
insured by the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  in accordance  with the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act.

     The Bank  provides  loans  and  services  to  individuals  and  businesses,
including commercial, industrial, consumer and real estate loans.

     The Bank offers various types of checking  accounts,  including  commercial
accounts,  personal checking accounts, and money market accounts.  Various types
of savings accounts, individual retirement accounts, certificates of deposit and
other time deposit accounts are also offered.

     The Bank makes consumer loans, including automobile,  education,  equipment
and home  improvement  loans.  In addition to consumer  loans,  the Bank extends
secured and unsecured  business and personal  loans,  as well as  mortgages,  on
commercial and residential real estate.

EMPLOYEES

     As of December 31, 1995 there were 70 full and 5 part-time employees of the
Company  and the  Bank.  The  employees  of the  Company  and the  Bank  are not
represented by any collective  bargaining unit. Relations between management and
employees are considered to be good.

LOCATION

     The Bank is located in Grafton County, Plymouth, New Hampshire. Plymouth is
located almost directly in the center of the State of New Hampshire. The Bank is
adjacent  to the White  Mountains,  and the  Lakes  Region.  The White  Mountain
National  Forest  (one of the most  popular  public  forest  areas in the United
States),  Waterville  Valley,  Cannon  Mountain,  Loon  Mountain,  and  Gunstock
Mountain are also located nearby. Because of its location, vacationers are drawn
to the  Plymouth  area  on a year  round  basis.  Skiing  continues  to  attract
individuals  to the Plymouth area in the winter,  while large area lakes attract
potential  business  opportunities  for  the  Bank to the  Plymouth  area in the
summer.  Plymouth is also the home of Plymouth  State  College,  a New Hampshire
State college with an enrollment of  approximately  4,000  students.  Interstate
I-93, a major  interstate  highway running north and south from Plymouth and the
Tenney Mountain  Highway,  the major highway leading west from Plymouth,  offers
sites    to    attract    new    businesses.     Toward    the    north,     the
Campton-Thornton-Waterville Valley areas are the site of housing and condominium
projects.  Although  business in the Bank's  market area,  and New  Hampshire in
general,  was  strong  during  the  1980s,  during  the  early  1990's  the area
experienced  a slowdown  in  economic  activity.  The  economic  slowdown  had a
negative  effect on the  economy  and the  business of the Company and the Bank.
More recently, regional and local economic conditions appear to have stabilized.

COMPETITION

     The Bank  encounters  competition  in all phases of its  business.  Several
competitive financial  institutions have offices in the Plymouth,  New Hampshire
banking market,  including Bristol Bank, Shawmut Bank,  Meredith Village Savings
Bank,  Franklin Savings Bank and First N.H. Bank. A number of these institutions
have  higher  lending  limits and  greater  resources  than the Bank and provide
certain  services  that the Bank does not provide.  In addition,  the Bank faces
competition  from a savings bank in Plymouth,  Community  Guaranty Savings Bank,
which commenced operations in May, 1988.

     Based upon information published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, the
Plymouth,  New  Hampshire  banking  market  would  be  considered  to be  highly
concentrated,  consisting  of three (3)  commercial  banks and five (5)  savings
banks and thrifts with a total of twelve (12) banking  offices.  As reflected in
such  report,  the  Company  has a 37.33%  market  share of  deposits  among all
depository institutions in the area.

NOTE:  The table is based on June 30, 1994 deposit data and reflects all mergers

       published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.



     Banks compete on the basis of price,  including  rates paid on deposits and
charged on  borrowings,  convenience  and quality of  service.  Savings and loan
associations  are able to  compete  aggressively  with  commercial  banks in the
important area of consumer  lending.  Credit unions and small loan companies are
each significant factors in the consumer market. Insurance companies, investment
firms, credit and mortgage companies,  brokerage firms cash management accounts,
money-market  funds and retailers are all  significant  competitors  for various
types of business.  Many non-bank  competitors  are not subject to the extensive
regulation  described  below under "BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY" and thus in certain
respects  may have a  competitive  advantage  over  banks in  providing  certain
services.

     In marketing its services,  the Bank  emphasizes its position as a hometown
bank with personal  service,  continuity of  personnel,  flexibility  and prompt
responsiveness  to the needs of its customers.  Moreover,  the Bank competes for
both deposits and loans by offering  competitive  rates,  well positioned branch
and ATM  locations  and  convenient  business  hours.  In addition to  providing
banking services to customers in its primary service areas, the Bank is a member
of the NYCE,  CIRRUS and Cash Stream  automatic  teller  machine  networks which
allow the Bank to deliver certain financial services to customers  regardless of
their proximity to the primary service area of the Bank.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     During the forth  calendar  quarter of 1995,  the Bank  agreed to  purchase
certain assets and assume certain  deposits  related to First NH's branch office
on U.S. Route 49, Campton, New Hampshire.

     The Bank and First NH Bank  currently each own an undivided 1/2 interest in
this facility,  which both entities have shared since 1975. While operation of a
shared branch facility was not uncommon in New Hampshire several decades ago, it
has become a rarity in recent  times.  The deposits  attributable  to this joint
branch facility amount to approximately  20 Million Dollars.  Slightly more than
10 Million of such  deposits are  deposits in the Bank and slightly  more than 9
Million  Dollars  represent  the  deposits  in First NH Bank  which the Bank has
agreed to purchase.

     The transaction  will not involve the  establishment of a new branch by the
Bank,  which will continue to operate its existing  branch at the same location.
Similarly,  as a result  of this  transaction,  there  will be no  change in the
Community   Reinvestment   Act  Statement  of  the  Bank,   which   received  an
"outstanding"  Community  Reinvestment Act Compliance  rating from the Office of
the Comptroller of Currency at its most recent examination.

     The proposed  purchase was approved by the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency in the first calendar quarter of 1996 and is expected to be consummated
in April, 1996.


SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

     The earnings of the Bank and, therefore,  the earnings of the Company,  are
affected not only by general economic conditions, both domestic and foreign, but
also by the  policies  of the Federal  Government  and  regulatory  authorities,
including  the  Federal  Reserve  Board,  the Office of the  Comptroller  of the
Currency and the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation.  The Federal  Reserve
Board  influences  conditions  in the money and capital  markets,  which  affect
interest rates and the growth in bank credit and deposits. Federal Reserve Board
monetary  policies  have  had a  significant  effect  on  operating  results  of
commercial  banks in the  past  and are  expected  to  continue  to do so in the
future.  The Company cannot  accurately  predict changes in such policies or the
effect such policies may have on the Bank's future  business and earnings.  Bank
earnings are heavily  dependent on both the change in loan volume and the margin
between the lending rate and the cost of bank funds.

<PAGE>

                                       -5-

     As a bank holding company  registered  with the Federal Reserve Board,  the
Company is required to file periodic reports and such additional  information as
the Federal  Reserve Board may require  pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act
of 1956, as amended. The Federal Reserve Board also conducts examinations of the
Company.

     The Bank  Holding  Company  Act of 1956,  as amended,  requires  every bank
holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before
acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than five percent (5%)
of the voting shares of any bank.  However, no acquisition may be approved if it
is prohibited by applicable state law.

     The Bank Holding  Company Act of 1956,  as amended,  also  prohibits a bank
holding company,  with certain  exceptions,  from acquiring control of any other
company and from engaging in any business other than banking or activities which
are not incidental to managing or  controlling  banks without the prior approval
of the  Federal  Reserve  Board.  The Federal  Reserve  Board is  authorized  to
approve,  among other things,  the ownership of shares by a bank holding company
in any company the activities of which the Federal  Reserve Board has determined
to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling  banks as to be a
proper incident thereto. In making such determination, the Federal Reserve Board
is  required  to weigh the  expected  benefit  to the  public,  such as  greater
convenience, increased competition, or gains in efficiency, against the risks of
possible adverse effects, such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or
unfair competition, conflicts or unsound banking practices.

     In addition,  federal legislation prohibits the acquisition of control of a
bank or bank holding  company  without prior notice to appropriate  federal bank
regulatory agencies.

     The Bank is a  national  banking  association,  organized  pursuant  to the
provisions of the National Bank Act. As such, its primary  regulatory  authority
is the Comptroller of the Currency of the United States (the "Comptroller"). The
Comptroller regularly examines national banks and their operations. In addition,
operations of national  banks are subject to federal  statutes and  regulations.
Such statutes and regulations relate to required reserves,  investments,  loans,
mergers, payment of dividends,  issuance of securities and many other aspects of
operations.

     With  respect  to the  ability  of a national  bank to pay  dividends,  the
Comptroller's approval is required if the total dividends declared by a national
bank in any year will exceed the total of its net profits for that year combined
with its retained  net profits for the  preceding  two years,  less any required
transfer to surplus.  The Comptroller  also has authority to prohibit a national
bank from engaging in unsafe or unsound  practices in conducting the business of
the Bank.

<PAGE>
                                       -6-


     The Bank is also subject to  applicable  provisions  of New  Hampshire  law
insofar as they do not conflict with or are not  otherwise  preempted by federal
banking law.

     The banking industry in the United States, which includes commercial banks,
savings and loan  associations,  mutual  savings  banks,  capital  stock savings
banks, credit unions, and bank and savings and holding companies, is part of the
broader financial services industry which includes insurance  companies,  mutual
funds, and the brokerage industry.  In recent years,  intense market demands and
economic pressures have eroded once clearly defined industry classifications and
have forced the financial  services  institutions  to diversify  their services,
increase  returns on  deposits,  and become more cost  effective  as a result of
competition with one another and with new types of financial services companies,
including non-bank competitors.

     The present bank regulatory scheme is undergoing  significant  change, both
as it affects the banking industry itself and as it affects  competition between
banks and non-bank financial institutions. There has been significant regulatory
change in the bank merger and  acquisitions  area,  in the products and services
banks  can  offer,  and in the  non-banking  activities  in which  bank  holding
companies can engage.  Banks are now actively  competing with non-bank financial
institutions for products such as money market funds.

     Recently   adopted  Federal   legislation   will  soon  permit   adequately
capitalized  bank  holding  companies  to venture  across  state  lines to offer
banking services  through bank  subsidiaries to a wider  geographic  market.  In
light of this change in the law, it will be  possible  for large  super-regional
organizations to enter many new markets including the market served by the Bank.
Certain of these competitors,  by virtue of their size and resources,  may enjoy
certain  efficiencies  and competitive  advantages over the Bank in the pricing,
delivery,  and marketing of their  products and services.  It is not possible to
assess  what  impact  these  changes in the  regulatory  scheme will have on the
Company or the Bank.

CERTAIN SUPERVISORY MATTERS

     The Office of the  Comptroller  of the Currency  ("OCC") and other  federal
bank  supervisory  agencies  have been  granted  broad  authority by Congress to
protect the safety and  soundness of the banking  systems in the United  States.
The supervisory  tools available to the federal bank supervisory  agencies range
from drastic  measures  involving  the  termination  of deposit  insurance,  and
forfeiture of charter,  to less drastic  formal  supervisory  actions  including
capital directives,  cease and desist orders, suspension and removal of officers
or directors,  the  assessment of civil money  penalties,  and the use of formal
agreements or informal memoranda of understanding.


<PAGE>
                                       -7-

     Following an  examination  of the Bank  conducted by the OCC in early 1992,
the Bank and the OCC entered into an informal  remedial  action in the form of a
Memorandum  of  Understanding  ("MOU")  designed  to improve the  condition  and
profitability of the Bank and address any areas which warranted remedial action.
Following an examination of the Bank, the OCC met with the Board of Directors on
July 11, 1994 and  officially  terminated  the MOU.  At that time,  the Board of
Directors  provided the OCC with their written  commitment on behalf of the Bank
to hire a Chief  Financial  Officer  and enhance  certain  aspects of the Bank's
asset and liability management practices.

     The Bank  substantially  complied  with these  commitments  and the MOU was
terminated. Neither the Company nor the Bank are subject to increased regulatory
supervision or supervisory action.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

     Recently,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 115 (SFAS 115),  "Accounting for investment in
certain Debt and Equity Securities". SFAS 115 provides for the categorization of
investments  into three  groups and  further  provides  for the  accounting  and
reporting  treatment of each group.  Investments  may be  classified as held-to-
maturity, available-for-sale,  or trading. The Company does not purchase or hold
any  investment  securities  for the purpose of trading  such  investments.  The
following  table  sets  forth  the  carrying  amounts  of Pemi  Bancorp,  Inc.'s

NONACCRUAL AND PAST DUE LOANS

     It is the policy of the Bank to  discontinue  the  accrual of  interest  on
loans when, in management's  judgment,  the collection of the full amount of the
loan is  doubtful.  This will  generally  occur once the loan has become 90 days
past due, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.  The
following  table sets forth  information  on nonaccrual and past due loans as of
December 31 for each of the years indicated:

     The  amount of  interest  income  recorded  during  1995,  1994 and 1993 on
nonaccrual  loans  outstanding  at December 31, 1995,  1994 and 1993 amounted to
$22,470,  $50,246,  and  $6,833,  respectively.  Had these  loans  performed  in
accordance  with  their  original  terms,  the amount  recorded  would have been
$70,303, $89,782, and $27,270 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

     Loans past due 90 days or more still  accruing  interest as of December 31,
1995  consisted  primarily of first  mortgage  loans which are  currently in the
process of  collection  and as to which  management  believes  there is adequate
security.

     The difference  between gross interest income that would have been reported
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 had the nonaccrual  loans above been
current,  and interest income on these loans that was included in net income, is
$47,833.

     The  provisions  to the  allowance  for possible loan losses are charged to
operating expenses and are based on past experience, current economic conditions
and  management's  judgment of the amount  necessary to cover possible losses on
the collection of loans.  The Bank records  provisions for estimated loan losses
which are charged against earnings in the period they are established.

     Most of the Bank's  deposits have been obtained from  individuals  and from
small and medium-sized businesses.  In addition, the Bank attracts deposits from

DIVIDEND HISTORY AND POLICY

     The Company has paid dividends to stockholders on a semi-annual basis since
its  organization as a bank holding company for the Bank in 1985.  Prior to that
time,  to the  best  knowledge  and  belief  of  management,  the  Bank has paid
dividends in every year since 1882.

     The  following  table  summarizes  the Company's  dividend  history for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 1995, December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993.

     weighted  average shares  outstanding for 1994 and 751,901 weighted average
     shares outstanding for 1993.

     Consistent with prudent  banking  practices and applicable law, the Company
intends to continue its practice of declaring dividends on a semiannual basis to
Stockholders of record as of the date of declaration.  However,  there can be no
assurance that dividends per share will not be reduced or limited in the future.

     The Company's  ability to pay  dividends is limited by the prudent  banking
principles applicable to all bank holding companies and by the provisions of New
Hampshire  Corporate  law, which limit the payment of dividends by a corporation
to an amount not to exceed the unrestricted earned surplus of the corporation or
the  unrestricted net earnings of the current fiscal year and the next preceding
fiscal year taken as a single  period,  unless  such  dividends  would  render a
corporation insolvent.

     As a practical matter,  the Company's ability to pay dividends is generally
limited by the Bank's  ability to dividend  funds to the Company.  As a national
bank, the declaration and payment of dividends by the Bank must be in accordance
with the National Bank Act. More specifically,  applicable law provides that the
Board of Directors may declare quarterly,  semiannual  and annual  dividends  so

<PAGE>

                                      -17-

long as the Bank  carries at least ten percent  (10%) of its net profits for the
preceding half year in its surplus fund,  and, in the case of annual  dividends,
has carried not less than  one-tenth  of its net  profits of the  preceding  two
consecutive  half year periods in its surplus fund.  National banks are required
to obtain the approval of the Office of the  Comptroller  of the Currency if the
total dividends  declared by it in any calendar year exceed the total of its net
profits for that year  combined  with any retained net profits of the  preceding
two  years  less  any  required   transfers.   In  addition  to  such  statutory
requirements,  the payment of an excessive dividend which would deplete a bank's
capital  base to an  inadequate  level  could be  considered  to be an unsafe or
unsound banking practice and be a basis for supervisory  action by the Office of
the  Comptroller  of  the  Currency.  As of  December  31,  1995,  approximately
$2,222,471,  of the  undistributed  net  income  of the Bank  was  theoretically
available for distribution to the Company as dividends.  However, the ability of
the Bank to declare  and pay such  dividends  would be subject to safe and sound
banking practices.

     The current and future dividend  practices of the Bank and the Company will
continue  to bear a  correlation  to the level of the  Company's  and the Bank's
current and expected  earnings  stream,  the capital needs of the Bank,  and the
perceptions of the marketplace.

NATURE OF TRADING MARKET

     As of March 15, 1996, the Company's  Common Stock is owned by approximately
413  stockholders  of record.  The Common  Stock of the Company is not  actively
traded and is not listed on any public  exchange or the National  Association of
Securities  Dealer's Automatic  Quotation System ("NASDAQ").  On rare occasions,
shares  are  traded   between   individuals   or  through   one  or  more  local
broker-dealers. Because there is no established market for the Company's shares,
the following  table  represents  management's  best knowledge and belief of the
prices paid in the isolated transactions which have occurred during the past two
years.  However,  the prices set forth may not be indicative  of current  value.

     During  the  fourth  quarter  of 1994 and the first  quarter  of 1995,  the
Company  redeemed an aggregate of 61,500 shares of its outstanding  common stock
from eleven (11) shareholders. During the

<PAGE>

                                      -18-

fourth  quarter of 1994,  a total of 29,800  shares were  redeemed  from six (6)
shareholders at a price of $10.00 per share.  The aggregate gross  consideration
for the redemption  amounted to $298,000.  The Company did not incur any debt in
connection with the redemption.

     During the first  quarter of 1995, a total 31,700 shares were redeemed from
five (5)  shareholders  at a price of $10.00  per  share.  The  aggregate  gross
consideration for the redemption amounted to $317,000. The Company did not incur
any debt in connection with the redemption.

     The net effect of the redemptions  resulted in a reduction in the Company's
outstanding common stock by 8.18%, thereby slightly increasing the net per share
book value to remaining shareholders.

     Regulation  Y of  the  Bank  Holding  Company  Act  requires  bank  holding
companies  to provide the  Federal  Reserve  Board with  written  notice  before
purchasing or redeeming  equity  securities if the gross  consideration  for the
purchase or redemption,  when aggregated with the net consideration  paid by the
Company  for all such  purchases  or  redemptions  during the  preceding  twelve
months,  is equal to 10% or more of the company's  consolidated  net worth.  For
purposes of Regulation Y, "net consideration" is the gross consideration paid by
a company for all of its equity  securities  purchased  or  redeemed  during the
period, minus the gross consideration  received for all of its equity securities
sold during the period other than as part of a new issue.

                      ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
                       ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

     The following  discussion  and related  consolidated  financial  statements
include Pemi Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary,  The
Pemigewasset National Bank (the "Bank"). The Bank operates four branches.

     In light of the economic climate in the region,  Management is pleased with
the results for the fiscal year ended  December 31, 1995,  which resulted in net
income of $1,275,294 and the  declaration of dividends  amounting to $345,200 or
$.50 per share.  The Bank's  capital  ratios and reserves are  considered  to be
healthy,  the lending staff is seasoned,  the Bank's  traditional,  conservative
practices will continue,  and the Bank's facilities are modern, with ample space
for  any  foreseeable  growth.  As a  community  bank,  the  Bank's  health  and
profitability  is somewhat  dependent upon the local economy and other pressures
on  community  banks,  such as the  increasing  costs  of  regulation  and  FDIC
insurance premiums.

     Growth of the Bank  during the late 1980s  resulted  in crowded  conditions
which  necessitated  an increase in working  space.  In 1990,  the West Plymouth
office became the main office of the Bank.

     As with other areas of New England,  many  businesses in the Bank's primary
service area are struggling and commercial loan demand at the Bank has been down
the past several years.  Plymouth is located in a reasonably stable area with no
business  concentrations other than the resort business.  The local and regional
economies appear to be stabilizing.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 was  $1,275,294,  as
compared with $1,150,982 for the year ended 1994 and $831,818 for the year ended
1993.  Interest and fees on loans, the Company's  primary source of income,  for
the year ended December 31, 1995 amounted to $8,123,043,  $7,189,810 in 1994 and
$6,909,615 in 1993.  This  represents an increase of 13.0% from 1994 to 1995. An
increase in loan rates is the primary reason for this  increase.  Total interest
expense for the fiscal year ended  December 31, 1995 was  $3,693,227 as compared
with  $3,052,101 for 1994 and $3,265,243 for 1993.  These  increases  reflect an
increase in short term rates.

     For the fiscal year ending  December  31, 1995 other  income  decreased  by
$44,234 or 6.1% from December 31, 1994 and increased

<PAGE>

                                      -21-

$40,141 or 5.9% from  December 31, 1993 to December 31, 1994.  Other  expense in
1995  increased  by $101,372  or 2.3%  compared to a decrease of $50,328 or 1.1%
from 1993 to 1994. An increase in equipment  expenses  primarily  contributed to
this result.

     At  December  31,  1995,  the Bank's  Allowance  for  Possible  Loan Losses
("APLL")  amounted to  $1,359,979,  which was $206,940 less than the  $1,566,919
balance at December 31, 1993.  During 1995, the Bank made provisions to the APLL
of $112,500 for loan losses as compared to $120,000 in 1994.  This compares with
provisions  of  $180,000  in 1993.  Provisions  are based on the  evaluation  by
management and the Board of current and anticipated economic conditions, changes
in character and size of the loan portfolio and other indicators. The balance in
the APLL is considered  adequate by management  and the Board to absorb the risk
of loss inherent in the Bank's loan portfolio.  Reduced  provisions  during 1995
reflect the  stabilization of economic  conditions and collateral values as well
as the strengthening of the Bank's loan portfolio.

     In this regard, the APLL was $1,359,979 or 1.66% of total loans at December
31, 1995,  as compared  with  $1,566,919  or 1.83% of total loans for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1994.

     As of December 31, 1995,  non-performing  loans (nonaccrual loans and loans
past due 90 days or more) totaled  $541,303,  or .66% of total loans as compared
to  $827,377  or .96% at  December  31,  1994.  This  represents  a decrease  of
$286,074.

     The ratio of APLL to nonaccrual  loans for December 31, 1995 was 274.35% as
compared to 244.69% for December 31, 1994.

     The ratio of APLL to nonaccrual  loans plus loans which are past due ninety
(90) days or more for  December  31, 1995 was 251.24% as compared to 189.38% for
December 31, 1994.

     The ratio of nonperforming  assets (non performing loans and OREO) to total
assets for December 31, 1995 was .51% as compared to .93% for December 31, 1994.

     Net charge-offs  totaled $319,440 or .39% of total loans as of December 31,
1995 as compared to $283,574 or .33% of total loans as of December 31, 1994.

     The Company's  assets  increased to  $117,322,517  at year end December 31,
1995 as compared to $113,169,496 at year end December 31, 1994 and  $115,449,751
at year end 1993.  This  represents a 3.7% increase from December 31, 1994.  Net
loans  decreased by 4.6% from December 31, 1994 to the period ended December 31,
1995 and deposits increased by 5.1% for the same period.

                                      -22-

     The average yield on interest  earning  assets for 1995,  1994 and 1993 was
9.07%, 8.17% and 8.12%, respectively. For 1995, this represents a 90 basis point
increase in yield on assets. The cost of interest bearing  liabilities was 4.10%
in 1995,  3.37% in 1994 and 3.65% in 1993. For 1995,  this represents a 73 basis
point increase in cost of funds.

     Nonaccrual   loans  totaled   $541,303  as  of  December  31,  1995,  which
represented  a decrease  of  $286,074  from  1994.  The  primary  reason for the
reduction was due to one commercial loan  relationship  that was brought back to
an  accrual  status.   Otherwise,   all  other  categories  remained  relevantly
unchanged.  Management devotes  significant time and resources to the resolution
of non-accrual  loans,  and this trend toward  reduction of non- accruals should
continue.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Banking  institutions  measure  liquidity as the ability to meet unexpected
deposit withdrawals of a short-term nature and to meet increased loan demand. It
is Management's  objective to ensure a continuous  ability to meet cash needs as
they arise. As of December 31, 1995 the Bank's liquidity ratio stood at 11.6% as
compared to 7.3% at December 31, 1994. With available  Federal Home Loan Bank of
Boston  (FHLB)   Advances   included,   these  ratios  become  35.5%  and  29.5%
respectively.

     The  liquidity  ratio is  determined by the use of the Bank's Basic Surplus
Model which  represents a static  analysis of the  relationship  between  liquid
assets and short-term  liabilities which are vulnerable to non-replacement under
abnormally stringent conditions. This controlled level of liquidity reflects the
efforts of the Bank to  redeploy  its assets into loans to respond to the credit
needs of the  community  and  hopefully  improve  the  Bank's  return on assets.
Management believes the Bank's liquidity to be adequate to meet the needs of the
Bank.

     Liquidity is measured by the Bank's  ability to raise cash when needed at a
reasonable  cost and with a minimum of loss. The Bank must be capable of meeting
all obligations to customers at any time and, therefor, the active management of
liquidity is important.

     Given the  uncertain  nature of  customers'  demands  as well as the Bank's
desire to take advantage of earnings  enhancement  opportunities,  the Bank must
have  available  adequate  sources of on and off balance sheet funds that can be
acquired in time of need. Accordingly,  in addition to the liquidity provided by
balance  sheet cash  flows,  liquidity  must be  supplemented  with  alternative
sources such as Fed Funds and Liens of Credit,  Federal Home Loan Bank Advances,
and wholesale and retain repurchase agreements.

<PAGE>

                                      -23-

     Accordingly,  when making  investments and loans,  their  marketability and
collateral value must be considered. When the necessity for pledging arises, the
least marketable should generally be used.

     Two methods of measuring liquidity are generally  utilized.  The first is a
static  analysis  of the  relationship  between  liquid  assets  and  short-term
liabilities which are vulnerable to non- replacement under abnormally  stringent
conditions. The second measure of liquidity operationalizes the static analysis.
It is a  cash-flow  forecast  expressed  in  terms of the  relationship  between
identified  funding needs and the estimated level of cash in flows over a 90-day
horizon.

     Monitoring  and  managing  both  liquidity  measurements  is  important  in
developing prudent and effective deposit pricing and investment strategies.

     The equity  capital of the  Company as of  December  31,  1995  amounted to
$11,394,058. This represents a 6.3% increase over the equity capital at December
31,  1994.  The  increase  is  attributable  to a 11.69%  increase  in  retained
earnings.  Equity  capital as a percent of total assets  amounted to 9.71% as of
December 31, 1995, a very slight  increase of  approximately  .24% from year end
1994.

     The Bank and the Company are required to maintain capital levels consistent
with  the  "risk-based   capital  guidelines"  adopted  by  the  Office  of  the
Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal  Reserve  System.  The Office of the
Comptroller  of the  Currency's  capital  guidelines  require  a ratio  of Total
Capital (consisting of capital,  surplus and the allowance for loan losses up to
1.25% of risk weighted assets), to be equal to at least 8.0%. Additionally,  the
Bank must  maintain  Tier 1 capital  (which under the  regulations,  consists of
Common Stockholders equity,  noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related
surplus,   and  minority  interests  in  the  equity  accounts  of  consolidated
subsidiaries) in amounts not less than 4.00% of adjusted total assets (or 100 to
200 basis  points  higher in the case of the banks which do not receive the best
composite  ratings).  At December 31, 1995 the actual Risk Based  Capital of the
Bank was 16.38% for Tier 1 and 17.75% for Total Capital and the Leverage Capital
was 9.68%,  substantially  exceeding  current  applicable  and any known  future
minimum regulatory requirements.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

     Inflation  affects the growth of total  assets by  increasing  the level of
loan  demand and  creating  the need to increase  equity  capital at higher than
normal  rates in order to  maintain  an  appropriate  ratio of equity to assets.
Interest  rates in  particular  are  significantly  affected  by  inflation.  In
addition  to its  effects on  interest  rates,  inflation  directly  affects the
Company by increasing the Company's cost of funds and operating expenses.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

     The following  discussion of Interest Rate  Sensitivity  Analysis should be
read in conjunction  with the GAP Table set forth following the discussion which
reflects  how the timing and  repricing of assets and  liabilities  would impact
liquidity and interest rate spread.

     The  Bank's  rate  sensitivity  analysis  format is  divided  into four (4)
sections. The first section details information concerning various maturities of
rate sensitive assets. The second section identifies rate sensitive liabilities.
The third  section  identifies  interval  gaps and the  fourth,  cumulative  gap
analysis.

     Rate sensitive assets can be divided into two component parts:  Investments
in Securities and Loans. Investments have various maturities, are normally fixed
rates,  and when they mature,  the proceeds are available for  reinvestment.  As
these securities  approach maturity,  it is important for the investment officer
to be aware of the rate on the maturing  investment,  current rates available on
similar  investments  and liquidity  requirements of the bank. As the securities
mature, the proceeds will be invested in rates higher or lower than the maturing
security, thus affecting the rate of return.

     The final section of rate sensitive  assets  consists of commercial  loans,
real estate loans and consumer  loans.  Commercial  loans are  comprised of both
maturing  loans  that will be paid off,  and loans  that  mature but will in all
likelihood  be  rewritten.  Real estate loans are comprised of those loans whose
rates will be  repriced at maturity  and  consumer  loans are those that will be
repriced and paid in full at maturity.

     Rate Sensitive  Liabilities  are primarily  time  deposits.  As the savings
instruments reach maturity, the Bank, in order to retain the deposits, will need
to offer  competitive  rates or be faced with  disintermediation.  Falling rates
indicate  it may cost the Bank  less to  retain  these  funds,  thus  increasing
profits. Conversely, rising rates may adversely affect profits.

     The section on interval gaps indicate the difference between Rate Sensitive
Assets and Rate Sensitive  Liabilities at different maturity intervals.  It is a
snapshot of the gaps at specific  time periods.  The ratios  measure a tolerance
range for various time periods.

     The final  section on  Cumulative  Gaps measure the overall Gap position at
different time periods.

<PAGE>

                                      -25-

     In  analyzing  the  Bank's  GAP,  several  general   principles  should  be
considered. First, in a more risky interest rate environment, you would expect a
smaller GAP tolerance  range  associated with a given appetite for interest rate
risk.  Conversely,  the greater the  tolerance  range,  the greater the expected
return and risk.

     The GAPS at time  intervals  indicate  the timing of the effect of interest
rate changes on income.  The Cumulative GAP indicates the overall  magnitude and
direction of rate risk exposure.

     The GAP measures  interest  rates risk  exposure,  not liquidity of funding
risk.

     It may be less costly to adjust the GAP in a negative  direction  than in a
positive  direction  because  capital losses may be generated if the maturity of
the investment  portfolio is shortened to move the GAP in a positive  direction.
However,  the greater the Bank's ability to replace short-term  liabilities with
long-term  liabilities,  the  easier  it is to  adjust  the  GAP  in a  positive
direction.

     Prudent  adjustment  of the GAP to  capitalize  on expected  interest  rate
trends will  usually  result in a negative  impact on short term  earnings.  For
example, if rates are expected to rise by more than the consensus rate forecast,
a somewhat positive GAP is appropriate.

     Generally,  the smaller the GAP,  the  smaller the  fluctuation  in the net
interest margin resulting from changes in levels of interest rates.

     If Risk  Sensitivity  Analysis  indicated that the Bank was Asset Sensitive
(meaning  that  it  had  more  rate   sensitive   assets  than  rate   sensitive
liabilities),  then  rising  rates  will have a  positive  impact  on  earnings;
however, falling rates will negatively affect earnings.

     Should the analysis indicate liability sensitivity,  then rising rates will
tend to reduce earnings and falling rates will tend to have a positive impact on
earnings.

     The  Bank's   primary  tool  in  managing   Interest   Rate  Risk  will  be
asset/liability  funding matrix reports.  Income  simulation will be utilized to
quantify  the  potential  impact on  earnings of changes in  interest  rates.  A
standard  gap  report  will also be  utilized  to  provide  supporting  detailed
information.  Management has monitored deposit runoff in both rising and falling
rate environments, and based upon this analysis, has developed simulation models
of interest  rate risk as well as liquidity  cash flows that reflect the results
of assumptions.

The Board of Directors

Pemi Bancorp, Inc.
Plymouth, New Hampshire

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pemi Bancorp,
Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the over-all
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Pemi
Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Notes 2 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income
Taxes," effective January 1, 1993.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities" as of December 31, 1993.

                        PEMI BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Pemi Bancorp, Inc. (Company) is a New Hampshire corporation that was organized
in 1985 to become the holding company of The Pemigewasset National Bank (Bank).
The Company's primary activity is to act as the holding company for the Bank.
The Bank is a federally chartered bank which was incorporated in 1881 and is
headquartered in Plymouth, New Hampshire. The Bank operates its business from
five banking offices located in New Hampshire. The Bank is engaged principally
in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and investing
those deposits in residential and real estate loans, and in consumer and small
business loans.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiary conform
to generally accepted accounting principles and predominant practices within the
banking industry. The consolidated financial statements of the Company were
prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. The significant accounting
policies of the Company and its subsidiary are summarized below to assist the
reader in better understanding the financial statements and other data contained
herein.

          PERVASIVENESS OF ESTIMATES:

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
          and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
          liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
          date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
          and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
          from the estimates.

          BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
          Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant
          intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the
          consolidation.

          CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

          For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
          include cash on hand, cash items, Federal Home Loan Bank overnight
          deposits and demand deposits due from banks.

          INVESTMENT SECURITIES, IN GENERAL:

          Investments in debt securities are adjusted for amortization of
          premiums and accretion of discounts computed on the straight-line
          method which has substantially the same effect as using the interest
          method. Gains or losses on sales of investment securities are computed
          on a specific identification basis.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES, AFTER THE ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 115:
    
As of December 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" (SFAS No. 115). The Statement establishes standards of financial
accounting and reporting for investments in equity securities that have readily
determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities. SFAS No. 115
requires that the Company classify debt and equity securities into one of three
categories: held-to-maturity, available-for- sale, or trading. This security
classification may be modified after acquisition only under certain specified
conditions. In general, securities may be classified as held-to-maturity only if
the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity.
Trading securities are defined as those bought and held principally for the
purpose of selling them in the near term. All other securities must be
classified as available-for-sale.

          --   Held-to-maturity securities are measured at amortized cost in the
               balance sheet. Unrealized holding gains and losses are not
               included in earnings or in a separate component of capital. They
               are merely disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

          --   Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value on the
               balance sheet. Unrealized holding gains and losses are not
               included in earnings, but are reported as a net amount (less
               expected tax) in a separate component of capital until realized.

          --   Trading securities are carried at fair value on the balance
               sheet. Unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities
               are included in earnings. As the Company had no trading
               securities as of December 31, 1993 there was no impact to the
               Company's earnings upon the adoption of the Statement.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES, PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 115:

Investments in debt securities are those securities which the Company has the
ability and intent to hold to maturity.

LOANS:

Interest on loans is generally recognized on a simple interest basis. Interest
on loans is generally not accrued when loans become 90 days or more overdue.

Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct origination costs are
deferred, and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's
yield. The Company is generally amortizing these amounts over the contractual
life of the related loans.

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding
principal balances reduced by amounts due to borrowers on unadvanced loans, any
charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses and net deferred fees or costs on
originated loans, or unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.

Cash receipts of interest income on impaired loans is credited to principal to
the extent necessary to eliminate doubt as to the collectibility of the net
carrying amount of the loan. Some or all of the cash receipts of interest income
on impaired loans is recognized as interest income if the remaining net carrying
amount of the loan is deemed to be fully collectible. When recognition of
interest income on an impaired loan on a cash basis is appropriate, the amount
of income that is recognized is limited to that which would have been accrued on
the net carrying amount of the loan at the contractual interest rate. Any cash
interest payments received in excess of the limit and not applied to reduce the
net carrying amount of the loan are recorded as recoveries of charge-offs until
the charge-offs are fully recovered.


                                      F-8
<PAGE>

ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES:

An allowance is available for losses which may be incurred in the future on
loans in the current portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions charged
to current operations and is decreased by loan losses, net of recoveries. The
provision for loan losses is based on management's evaluation of current and
anticipated economic conditions, changes in the character and size of the loan
portfolio, and other indicators. The balance in the allowance for possible loan
losses is considered adequate by management to absorb any reasonably foreseeable
loan losses.

As of January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as
amended by SFAS No. 118. According to SFAS No. 114, a loan is impaired when,
based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be
unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. The Statement requires that impaired loans be measured on a loan by
loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted
at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable market price, or
the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The Statement is applicable to all loans, except large groups of smaller balance
homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, loans that are
measured at fair value or at the lower of cost or fair value, leases, and
convertible or nonconvertible debentures and bonds and other debt securities.

The financial statement impact of adopting the provisions of this Statement was
not material.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT:

Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Cost and related allowances for depreciation and amortization of
premises and equipment retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the
respective accounts with any gain or loss included in income or expense.
Depreciation and amortization are calculated principally on the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED AND IN-SUBSTANCE FORECLOSURES:

Other real estate owned includes properties acquired through foreclosure and
properties classified as in-substance foreclosures in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 15, "Accounting by Debtors and
Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructuring." These properties are carried at the
lower of cost or estimated fair value less costs to sell. Any writedown from
cost to estimated fair value required at the time of foreclosure or
classification as in-substance foreclosure is charged to the allowance for
possible loan losses. Expenses incurred in connection with maintaining these
assets, subsequent writedowns and gains or losses recognized upon sale are
included in other expense.

Beginning in 1995, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," the
Company classifies loans as in-substance repossessed or foreclosed if the
Company receives physical possession of the debtor's assets regardless of
whether formal foreclosure proceedings take place.


                                      F-9

INCOME TAXES

Effective January 1, 1993, the Company recognizes income taxes under the asset
and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
established for the temporary differences between the accounting basis and the
tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected
to be in effect when the amounts related to such temporary differences are
realized or settled. As of the adoption date of this method, January 1, 1993,
the Company's net deferred tax asset did not differ materially from such assets
prior to adoption. Accordingly, the difference has not been reflected in the
1993 financial statements.

Prior to January 1, 1993, the Company recognized income taxes under the deferred
method. Under this method, annual income tax expense was matched with pretax
accounting income by providing deferred taxes at current tax rates for timing
differences between income reported for accounting purposes and that reported
for tax purposes.

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments," requires that the Company disclose estimated
fair value for its financial instruments. Fair value methods and assumptions
used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet
for cash and federal funds sold approximate those assets' fair values.

Securities (including mortgage-backed securities): Fair values for securities
are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are
not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable
instruments.

Loans receivable: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no
significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The
fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses,
using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to
borrowers of similar credit quality. The carrying amount of accrued interest
approximates its fair value.

Deposit liabilities: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g.,
interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and money market accounts)
are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date
(i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of
deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies
interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of
aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Off-balance sheet instruments: The fair value of commitments to originate loans
is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter similar agreements,
taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present
creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments and the
unadvanced portion of loans, fair value also considers the difference between
current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of
letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or
on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligation with
the counterparties at the reporting date.

There were no sales of available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities during
1995.

In 1995, the Bank transferred at fair value certain debt securities from
securities classified as held-to-maturity to securities classified as
available-for-sale. The unrealized holding loss of $16,480 ($26,850 less tax
effect of $10,370) at the date of transfer has been recognized as a separate
component of shareholders' equity. The transfer was a result of a reassessment
of the appropriateness of the classification of all securities held at December
31, 1995. In accordance with a Special Report of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board regarding SFAS No. 115 this transfer will not call into question
the intent of the Bank to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future.

Investments in available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value on the

carryovers for tax purposes.

NOTE 12 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments include commitments to originate loans, standby letters of
credit and unadvanced funds on loans. The instruments involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
balance sheets. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of
involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters
of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. The
Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional
obligations as it does for on- balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer provided
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if
deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on
management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may
include secured interests in mortgages, accounts receivable, inventory,
property, plant and equipment and income-producing properties.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to
guarantee the performance by a customer to a third party. The credit risk
involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved
in extending loan facilities to customers. Of the total standby letters of
credit outstanding as of December 31, 1995, $37,138 are secured by deposit
accounts held by the Bank.

The provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107
"Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," as amended by SFAS No.
119, became effective for the Company as of December 31, 1995.

Unadvanced portions of commercial lines of credit     5,771,961       5,977,954


There is no material difference between the notional amount and the estimated
fair value of the off-balance sheet liabilities as of December 31, 1995.

The Company has no derivative financial instruments subject to the provisions of
SFAS No. 119 "Disclosure About Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value
of Financial Instruments."

NOTE 13 - SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Most of the Company's business activity is with customers located within the
state. There are no concentrations of credit to borrowers that have similar
economic characteristics. The majority of the Company's loan portfolio is
comprised of loans collateralized by real estate located in the state of New
Hampshire.

NOTE 14 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share for 1995, 1994 and 1993 were calculated using the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during those periods. For 1995, 1994 and
1993 earnings per share calculations, the weighted average number of shares
outstanding were 691,188, 751,020 and 751,901, respectively.

NOTE 15 - REGULATORY MATTERS

The Bank, as a National Bank is subject to the dividend restrictions set forth
by the Comptroller of the Currency. Under such restrictions, the Bank may not,
without the prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, declare dividends
in excess of the sum of the current year's earnings (as defined) plus the
retained earnings (as defined) from the prior two years. The dividends, as of
December 31, 1995 that the Bank could declare, without the approval of the
Comptroller of the Currency, amounted to approximately $2,222,471.

Bank regulators have established Risk Based and Leverage Capital requirements
that establish the minimum level of capital. Under the requirements a minimum
level of capital will vary among banks based on safety and soundness of
operations. As of December 31, 1995 the minimum regulatory capital level for
Risk Based Capital was 4% for Tier 1 capital, 8% for total capital and Leverage
Capital was 4%. As of December 31, 1995 the actual Risk Based Capital of the
Pemigewasset National Bank was 16.38% for Tier 1 and 17.75% for total capital
and the Leverage Capital was 9.68%.

NOTE 16 - RECLASSIFICATION

Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to be consistent with
the current year's statement presentation.

            ITEM 13 - CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     Some of the Directors  and Executive  Officers of the Company and companies
or organizations  with which they are associated,  have had, and may have in the
future,  banking transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of the Bank's
business. As of December 31, 1995, the Bank had outstanding $402,310 in loans to
Directors  and  Executive  Officers of the  Company  and the Bank and  immediate
family members of such Executive Officers and Directors,  which represents 3.53%
of capital.

     Federal  banking  laws  and  regulations  limit  the  aggregate  amount  of
indebtedness of all insiders.  Pursuant to such laws and regulations,  banks may
extend credit to executive officers,  directors,  principal  stockholders or any
related interest of such persons,  if the extension of credit to such persons is
in an amount that, when aggregated with the amount of all outstanding extensions
of credit to such individuals,  does not exceed the banks unimpaired capital and
unimpaired  surplus. As of December 31, 1995, the aggregate amount of extensions
of credit to Bank insiders was well below this limit.

     All loans and  commitments  to loan to the Company's and Bank's  Directors,
Executive  Officers  and their  associates  are made on  substantially  the same
terms,  including  interest  rates,  collateral  and repayment  terms,  as those
prevailing at the time for  comparable  transactions  with other persons and, in
the opinion of Management,  do not involve more than a normal risk of collection
or, except as specified below, present other unfavorable features.
