NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 1998, and the Consolidated
Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders'
Equity, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the periods ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997 of People's Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the
"Company") furnished in this report are unaudited; however, these interim
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for
the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the year.
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements furnished in this
report are intended to be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of the Company presented in its Annual Report for the
year ended December 31, 1997.
(2) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
In June 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income,"
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Accounting
principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and
losses be included in net income. Certain FASB statements, however, require
entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as
unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, as a separate
component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along
with net income, are components of comprehensive income. SFAS No. 130
requires that all items of comprehensive income be reported in a financial
statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial
statements. Additionally, SFAS No. 130 requires that the accumulated
balance of other comprehensive income be displayed separately from retained
earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the
balance sheet. The Company has adopted these disclosure requirements as of
the quarter ended March 31, 1998.
Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stock
divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares
that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had
been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the
assumed conversion. Potential common shares that may be issued by the
Corporation relate solely to outstanding stock options, and are determined
using the treasury stock method. The assumed conversion of outstanding
dilutive stock options would increase the shares outstanding but would not
require an adjustment to income as a result of the conversion.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this
report.
ASSETS
The Company's total assets at March 31, 1998 were $862.0 million, an increase of
$99.1 million from December 31, 1997. This increase includes an increase of $6.3
million in investment securities consisting primarily of mortgage-backed
securities and an increase of $66.6 million in loans as a result of the purchase
of $108.1 million in 1-4 family residential mortgage loans. These transactions
were funded with a $66.0 million increase in borrowed funds and a $31.1 million
increase in deposits.
LOANS
Total loans and loans held for sale increased $88.0 million primarily as a
result of the purchase of residential mortgage loans, offset by a sale of a
purchased residential mortgage loan pool and principal paydowns on the purchased
residential loan portfolio. At March 31, 1998, the Company's loans and loans
held for sale were as follows:
(in millions)
Residential mortgage loans, including
home equity loans $ 413,579
Commercial, commercial real estate
and construction loans 79,625
Consumer loans 6,225
---------
Total $ 499,429
=========
DEPOSITS
Total deposits increased $31.1 million to $386.2 million at March 31, 1998 from
$355.1 million at December 31, 1997. The increase in deposits reflects a $5.1
million increase in IRAs and time certificates of deposit, a $24.5 million
increase in municipal deposits and a $1.5 million increase in savings and demand
deposits.
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses has been established to absorb foreseeable losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses and the level of
the allowance are evaluated periodically by management and the Board of
Directors. These provisions are the results of the Company's internal loan
review, historical loan loss experience, trends in delinquent and non-accrual
loans, known and inherent risks in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio,
adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, collateral
values, an estimate of potential loss exposure on significant credits,
concentrations of credit, and present and prospective economic conditions based
on facts then known.
8
<PAGE> 9
Periodically, management reviews the portfolio, classifying each loan into
categories by assessing the degree of risk involved. Considering this review,
the Company establishes the adequacy of its allowance and necessary additions
are charged to operations through the provision for loan losses. Loan losses are
charged against the allowance when management believes the collectibility of the
loan balance is unlikely.
The allowance is an estimate. Ultimate losses may vary from current estimates
and future additions to the allowance may become necessary. In addition,
regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, review
the Company's allowance and may require the Company to provide additions to the
allowance based on their assessment, which may differ from management's.
At March 31, 1998, the Company's allowance for loan losses totaled $4.3 million
or 0.95% of total loans and 124% of non-performing loans compared to $4.3
million or 1.11% of total loans and 110% of non-performing loans at December 31,
F1997, and compared to $4.4 million or 1.76% of total loans and 121% of
non-performing loans at March 31, 1997. Management recorded a provision for loan
losses of $150,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 and no
provision for the same period in 1997. Net charge-offs were $125,000 for the
three month period ended March 31, 1998 compared to net charge-offs of $338,000
for the same period in 1997.
Non-performing assets were $3.6 million or 0.42% of total assets at March 31,
1998 compared to $4.0 million or 0.52% of total assets at December 31, 1997 and
$4.5 million or 0.81% of total assets at March 31, 1997.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Comparisons of year to year operating results have been significantly affected
by the growth of the Bank and its mortgage banking subsidiary, People's Mortgage
Corporation ("PMC") that have resulted in the Company increasing its asset size
from $496.1 million at December 31, 1996 to $862.0 million at March 31, 1998.
Operating results have been significantly affected by the Company increasing its
average loans and average investments to $435.0 million and $311.7 million,
respectively, during the first quarter of 1998, compared to $269.1 million and
$237.0 million, respectively, during the first quarter of 1997. This growth in
earnings assets was funded by the Company increasing its average deposits and
average borrowings to $331.1 million and $382.4 million, respectively, in the
first quarter of 1998, compared to $293.1 million and $174.6 million,
respectively, in the first quarter of 1997. Operating results have also been
significantly affected by the growth of PMC which is reflected in gains on sales
of loans of $1.3 million, interest and other income of $510,000, PMC operating
expenses of $1.2 million, and income before income taxes of $595,000 from PMC
operations in the first three months of 1998 compared to $913,000, $494,000,
$1.1 million, and $289,000, respectively, in the corresponding period of 1997.
Finally, operating results have been affected by mortgage refinancings. These
refinancings have adversely affected the Company's net interest margin due to
the resulting write-offs of purchase premiums associated with mortgage-backed
securities and purchased residential mortgage loans. The amortization and
write-offs of such premiums amounted to a $0.19 charge against earnings in the
first quarter of 1998, compared to $0.02 for the first quarter of 1997.
Conversely, this heightened refinancing activity resulted in PMC increasing its
earnings per share contribution to $0.11 in the first quarter of 1998 from $0.04
in the first quarter of 1997.
9
<PAGE> 10
Return on average assets was 0.75% and return on average equity was 18.89% for
the three month period ended March 31, 1998. Return on average assets was 0.98%
and return on average equity was 16.51% for the same period in 1997. Net income
amounted to $1.4 million or $0.43 per diluted share for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 compared to net income of $1.3 million or $0.36 per diluted share
for the same period in 1997. Basic earnings per share was $0.44 per share for
the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $0.36 per share for the same
period in 1997.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income increased $414,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998
compared to the same period in 1997. This change resulted mostly from increased
average earning assets. For the first three months of 1998, average earning
assets increased 48% compared to the same period in 1997.
Interest and dividend income increased to $13.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 from $9.7 million for the same period in 1997. The yield on
average earning assets decreased to 7.28% for the three months ended March 31,
1998 from 7.62% for the same period in 1997. Yields on loans decreased from
8.32% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to 7.33% for the same period in
1998. Yields on investments increased to 7.25% for the three months ended March
31, 1998 compared to 6.90% for the same period in 1997.
Interest expense increased to $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31,
1998 from $5.3 million for the same period in 1997. This increase was due to a
$3.1 million increase in interest expense on borrowed funds for the three months
ended March 31, 1998. Interest expense on deposits increased $492,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to the same period in 1997.
During the first three months of 1998, average borrowed funds amounted to $382.4
million compared to $174.6 million during the same period of 1997. The Company
has increased its use of borrowed funds to fund purchases of mortgage-backed
securities and loans. Rates paid on average borrowed funds were 5.83% for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to 5.68% for the same period in 1997.
Deposit interest expense increased due to an increase in average deposits to
$331.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $293.1
million for the same period in 1997. The increase in deposit interest expense
was due to the increase in average deposits and an increase in the average cost
of deposits to 4.02% for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 from 3.88%
for the same period in 1997.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
A provision for loan losses of $150,000 was made for the three months ended
March 31, 1998. No provision for loan losses was made for the same period in
1997.
OTHER INCOME
Other income was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared
to $1.3 million for the same period in 1997. The year to date increase is
attributable to a $402,000 increase in gains from sales of loans. The increase
in loan sale gains reflects the growth of People's Mortgage Corporation.
10
<PAGE> 11
OPERATING EXPENSES
Total operating expenses amounted to $4.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 1997.
Salaries and benefits expense increased $213,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. The increase in salaries and
benefits reflects general salary increases and added lending and PMC staffing.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased $105,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. Other real estate owned
expenses decreased $87,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to
the same period in 1997. Other general and administrative expenses increased
$188,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period
in 1997. All increases in operating expense, other than OREO related expenses,
are primarily due to additional costs associated with the growth of PMC.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company recognized income tax expense of $825,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 1998 compared to income tax expense of $741,000 for the same period in
1997. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was 36.4%
compared to 36.2% for the same period in 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's liquidity management focuses upon the Company's ability to provide
the cash reserves and cash equivalents necessary to honor contractual
liabilities and commitments, meet depositors' withdrawal demands, fund
operations and provide customers with adequate available credit. The Company's
primary sources of liquidity are customer deposits, principal and interest
payments on loans, interest and dividends on investments and proceeds from the
maturity or sale of investments. The Company also has the ability to borrow from
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston on a collateralized basis. The Company
believes that it has adequate liquidity to meet its current needs.
At March 31, 1998, the Company's capital exceeded all regulatory requirements.
The Company's Tier 1 leverage capital ratio at March 31, 1998 was 5.15%,
compared to 5.25% at December 31, 1997. Federal Reserve guidelines for the
calculation of the Tier 1 leverage capital ratio limit the amount of
subordinated debt included in Tier 1 capital to 25% of total Tier 1 capital. All
$13.8 million of the total proceeds of the Company's subordinated debentures is
included in total risk-based capital. At March 31, 1998, the Company's
risk-based capital ratio was 10.90%. The Company's book value per share was
$9.56 at March 31, 1998, $9.16 at December 31, 1997, and $8.57 at March 31,
1997.
OTHER INFORMATION
On April 15, 1998, the Company declared an $0.13 dividend to be paid on May 15,
1998 to shareholders of record on April 30, 1998.
On April 29, 1998, the Company received regulatory approval to close its East
Taunton, Massachusetts branch.

The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to identify,
correct or reprogram and test the systems and software for Year 2000 compliance.
The Company has initiated formal communications with all of its significant
processing vendors to determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to
those third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000 Issue. It is
anticipated that all reprogramming efforts will be completed by December 31,
1998, allowing adequate time for testing. Management expects the cost of
achieving Year 2000 compliance to be immaterial, if as expected, the Company's
third party data service provider is able to achieve Year 2000 compliance.
Actual costs are charged to earnings as incurred. Such costs have not been
material to date.
