Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
OF OPERATION
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").
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
Through the first six months of 1997, the Company's total net income
decreased from $627,410 to $506,389, as compared to the same period last year.
Fees and expenses associated with the conversion of Pemi's data processing
systems as well as expenses relating to the proposed merger (See Item 5: Other
Information) were responsible for the decrease in net income in the first half
of 1997 as compared to the first half of 1996.
The Company's total assets increased 4.8% to $135,132,710 at June 30,
1997 as compared to $128,979,132 at December 31, 1996. Cash and Due from Banks
increased from $4,979,633 to $5,308,328 during the period, while Securities
Available-for-Sale increased from $18,456,658 to $20,440,161. During this
period, net loans increased 5.1% or $4,474,518 to $91,570,441 at June 30, 1997
as compared with $87,095,923 at December 31, 1996, reflecting a modest increase
in loan demand.
For the first six months of 1997, the Bank's Provisions to the
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL) amounted to $75,000 compared to
$72,000 for the first six months of 1996. On June 30, 1997 the ALLL balance was
$1,256,097 or 1.35% of total loans, as compared to $1,306,304 or 1.48% of total
loans as of December 31, 1996. The ratio of ALLL to nonaccrual loans as of June
30, 1997 was 245% compared to 243% at June 30, 1996. The ratio of ALLL to
nonperforming loans on June 30, 1997 was 158% compared to 235% on June 30, 1996.
Net charge offs totaled $125,208 or .13% of total loans at June 30, 1997
compared to $39,208 or .04% as of June 30, 1996. The adequacy of the ALLL is
based on an evaluation by Management and the Board of Directors of current and
anticipated economic conditions, changes in the diversification, size and risk
within the loan portfolio, and other factors.
Nonperforming loans (nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or
more) amounted to $797,292 as of June 30, 1997, as compared to $617,925, as of
December 31, 1996, reflecting a net increase of certain nonperforming loans. The
ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans increased from .7% to .86% and the
ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets increased to .59% from .52%.
The amount of interest income recorded during the second quarter of
1997 on nonaccrual loans outstanding at June 30, 1997 amounted to $4,855,
compared to $49,312 as of December 31, 1996. Had these loans performed in
accordance with their original terms, the amount recorded would have been
$18,242 on June 30, 1997, compared to $114,920 as of December 31, 1996.
The June 30, 1997 nonperforming loan balance of $797,292 represents a
reduction of $629,589 from the March 31, 1997 nonperforming loan balance of
$1,426,881. During the first quarter, nonperforming loans had increased due to
four troubled ralationships. Three of these relationships were limited to one
loan each. Properties have been sold, or are under agreement in the three
single-loan relationships, resulting in minimal loss to the Bank. The fourth
relationship was comprised of two loans, one of which was paid in full during
the second quarter.
8
<PAGE>
The resulting nonperforming loan balance is $797,292 and reserve
allocations have been assigned for the identified exposure. Management will
continue to work diligently to reduce nonperforming loans and aggressively
pursue repayment of these credits.
The Bank implemented SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, as part
of the review and adoption of policies regarding the ALLL by the Board of
Directors on February 21, 1995. The effects of implementing SFAS Nos. 114 and
118, respectively, were not material, and require 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.
Total cash and due from banks increased $328,695 and amounted to
$5,308,328 at June 30, 1997, compared to $4,979,633 at December 31, 1996.
Securities held-to-maturity decreased over the same period from $11,975,136 to
$10,746,926, or $1,228,210, due to the maturity and principal reduction of
certain securities.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
The Company generated net income of $506,389 for the six month period
ended June 30, 1997 as compared with net income of $627,410 for June 30, 1996.
Taxes decreased from $301,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $279,250
for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
Earnings were $.73 per share for for the first six months of 1997
compared to $.91 per share for the first six months of 1996.
For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, interest and fees on
loans amounted to $4,129,107, which represents an increase of 1.4% or $56,170
from the comparable period in 1996. This can be attributed to increased loan
balances compared to the previous year. Interest and dividends on securities for
the six month period ended June 30, 1997 amounted to $1,004,896 as compared with
$861,098 from the same period in 1996, which reflects an increase of $143,798 or
16.7%. This increase is a result of the growth in investment securities.
Interest on federal funds sold for the six month period decreased from $16,961
to $12,501, which represents a decrease of 26.3%. This decrease is due to
smaller average balances of federal funds sold. Interest on deposits with other
banks decreased from $23,029 on June 30, 1996 to $288 on June 30, 1997. This was
due to a reduction in balances with other banks.
Total interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 was
$2,134,824 compared to $2,007,202 for same period in fiscal 1996, or an increase
of 6.4%, which can be attributed to an increase in long-term borrowings.
Total noninterest income for the six month period ended June 30, 1997
increased $30,630 or 9.2% to $363,499 from $332,869 when compared to the first
six months of 1996. This increase is primarily attributable to increases in
service charges and fee income.
Total noninterest expense amounted to $2,514,828 for the first six
months of 1997 as compared with $2,299,282, reflecting an increase of $215,546
compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 1996. This increase stems
primarily from costs associated with the proposed merger as well as higher
personnel costs.

LIQUIDITY
- ---------
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 June 30, 1997 the Bank's liquidity ratio stood at
12.8% as compared to 14.1% at December 31, 1996. With available FHLB Advances
included, these ratios become 30.6% and 32.8%, respectively. Management believes
the Bank's liquidity to be adequate to meet the needs of the Bank.
The liquidity ratio is determined by the use of the Bank's Basic
Surplus Model which represents a static analysis of the reltionship 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, therefore, the active
management of liquidity is important.
Given the uncertain nature of customer's 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 Lines of Credit, Federal Home Loan Bank Advances,
and wholesale and retail repurchase agreements.
Accordingly, when making investments and loans, their marketability and
collateral value must be considered. When the necessity of pledging arises, the
least marketable should generally be used.
Two methods of measuring liquidity are generally utilized. The first is
a static analysis of thr 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 relationshop 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 Bank is authorized to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB"). FHLB advances have become the Bank's primary borrowing vehicle. The
Bank borrows from the FHLB for liquidity management, interest rate risk
management, to match the funding of loans or investments, for profit enhancement
opportunities and to reduce the Bank's marginal cost of funds.
The Bank increased its FHLB borrowings by $7,017,000, from $8,702,525
at December 31, 1996 to $15,719,525 at June 30, 1997. This increase was a result
of a temporary outflow of core deposits during a period of modest loan growth.
The Bank's securities available-for-sale increased $1,983,503 from $18,456,658
at December 31, 1996 to $20,440,161 at June 30, 1997.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
- ----------------------------------
The Bank manages Interest Rate Risk through use of an asset/liability
funding matrix report supported by a GAP report. The potential impact on
earnings due to changes in interest rates is also evaluated through the use of
an income simulation model.
The Bank's analysis of interest rate sensitivity format is divided into
four (4) components. The first component is to evaluate information concerning
various maturities of rate sensitive assets. The second component identifies
rate sensitive liabilities. The third component identifies interval gaps and the
fourth component evaluates cumulative gap analysis.
Rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities are catagorized by
their repricing characteristics and evaluated accordingly.
The Bank evaluates the difference between Rate Sensitive Assets and
Rate Sensitive Liabilities at various intervals and attempts to match or control
the ratio of such assets within prudent ranges.
Finally, the Bank evaluates the cumulative GAP measurement of GAP
positions at various time intervals.
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.
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.
Should the Interest Rate Risk Sensitivity Analysis indicate that the
Bank is asset sensitive (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.
Modeling is used to forecast how net interest income, and therefore net
income, varies under alternative interest rate and business activity scenarios.
The Bank then compares the risk, or income volatility, associated with a variety
of different future rate scenarios.
As of June 30, 1997, the Bank had a slightly negative GAP position
which, in a rising interest rate environment would have a negative effect on the
Bank's earnings and, in a declining interest rate environment would have a
positive effect on earnings. Management believes the current level of interest
rate risk to be prudent in this economic environment and continues to monitor
and manage the Bank's GAP position to avoid an inappropriate level of interst
rate risk.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------
The equity capital of the Company as of June 30, 1997 amounted to
$12,633,449 or 9.35% of total assets. At December 31, 1996, the equity capital
amounted to $12,213,909 or 9.47 % of total assets.
The Bank and the Company are required to maintain capital levels
consistent with the capital requirements of 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 8.00% of risk weighted assets. 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 3.00% of adjusted total assets (or 100 to
200 basis points or more higher in cases of banks which do not receive the best
composite ratings). At June 30, 1997, the Actual Risk Based Capital of the Bank
was 17.02% for Tier 1 and 10.22% for Total Capital and the Leverage Ratio was
9.37%, substantially exceeding applicable minimum regulatory requirements. The
Bank and the Company are in compliance with all applicable Capital 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. (See
"Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis"). In addition to its effect on interest
rates, inflation directly affects the Company by increasing the Company's cost
of funds and operating expenses. Currently, low inflation has been beneficial in
holding down the Bank's cost of funds.
