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, 1996 and 1995 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, 1996.
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 overall
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, 1996 and 1995, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994

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,
         demand deposits due from banks and federal funds sold.

         SECURITIES:

         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.

         The Company classifies 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.

                                      F-7

               --   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
                    consolidated 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

         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.

         Interest on loans is generally recognized on a simple interest basis.

         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.

         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.

         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.

                                      F-8
<PAGE>


         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 Company considers
         its residential real estate loans and consumer loans that are not
         individually significant to be large groups of smaller balance
         homogeneous loans.

         Factors considered by management in determining impairment include
         payment status, net worth and collateral value. An insignificant
         payment delay or an insignificant shortfall in payment does not in
         itself result in the review of a loan for impairment. The Company
         applies SFAS No. 114 on a loan-by-loan basis. The Company does not
         apply SFAS No. 114 to aggregations of loans that have risk
         characteristics in common with other impaired loans. Interest on a loan
         is not generally accrued when the loan becomes ninety or more days
         overdue. The Company may place a loan on nonaccrual status but not
         classify it as impaired, if (i) it is probable that the Company will
         collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the
         loan or (ii) the loan is an individually insignificant residential
         mortgage loan or consumer loan. Impaired loans are charged-off when
         management believes that the collectibility of the loan's principal is
         remote. Substantially all of the Company's loans that have been
         identified as impaired have been measured by the fair value of existing
         collateral.

         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.

         INCOME TAXES:

         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.

                                      F-9

         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 in
1996, 1995 and 1994.

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.

During 1994, the amortized cost of a security held-to-maturity that was
transferred to available-for-sale at fair value amounted to $468,862, and the
related unrealized loss amounted to $69,165. Such security was transferred as a
result of the Company's understanding that there was a significant deterioration
in the issuer's creditworthiness.

There were no securities of issuers whose aggregate carrying amount exceeded 10%
of stockholders' equity as of December 31, 1996.

A total par value of $1,545,062 and $1,144,343 of debt securities was pledged to
secure treasury tax and loan, deposits and office of U. S. Trustees (Bankruptcy
courts) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 have not been reduced by a
valuation allowance because management believes that it is more likely than not
that the full amount of deferred tax assets will be realized.

As of December 31, 1996, the Company had no operating loss and tax credit
carryovers for tax purposes.

NOTE 10 - CONTINGENCY

   
The Bank intends to file with the Internal Revenue Service an application to
resolve certain problems concerning the eligibility of its defined benefit
pension and 401K plans. Bank management and counsel estimate that the sanction
that would be imposed by the IRS is between $25,000 and $200,000. The minimum
contingent liability of $25,000 has not been accrued due to immateriality.
    

NOTE 11 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Company has a qualified defined benefit pension plan covering substantially
all of its employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. The benefit
provision of the plan is 50% of monthly compensation reduced by 1/20 for each
year of service less than 20 years.

The following table sets forth the funded status of the plan and amounts
recognized in the Company's balance sheet as of December 31:

The Bank has a 401(k) plan. To be eligible, employees must have attained age
twenty-one, completed six months of service and be credited with 1,000 hours of
service. The Bank matches 25% of employee contributions on the first 4% of
compensation deposited as elective contributions. The 401(k) matching expense
was $13,744, $15,714 and $12,680 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively.

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, 1996, $33,000 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.

The disclosures are the estimated fair values of the Company's financial
instruments, all of which are held or issued for purposes other than trading,
which are as follows as of December 31:

fair values of the off-balance sheet liabilities.

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 1996, 1995 and 1994 were calculated using the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during those periods. For 1996, 1995 and
1994 earnings per share calculations, the weighted average number of shares
outstanding were 690,401, 691,188 and 751,020, 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, 1996 that the Bank could declare, without the approval of the
Comptroller of the Currency, amounted to approximately $2,407,449.

The Company and its subsidiary 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 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. Their capital amounts and classification are also subject to
qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and
other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set
forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the
regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as
defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31,
1996, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to
which they are subject.

As of December 31,  1996,  the most recent  notification  from the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency  categorized the Bank as well capitalized  under the
regulatory  framework for prompt  corrective  action.  To be categorized as well
capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total  risk-based,  Tier I risk-based
and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or
events since that notification that management  believes have changed the Bank's
category.

The Company's and the Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are also
presented in the table.
