                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Andover Bancorp, Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Andover
Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999.
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 financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall 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 financial position of Andover
Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997


(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Andover Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation and the
holding company of Andover Bank. Andover Bank (the "Bank") is a state-chartered
savings bank with its headquarters located in Andover, Massachusetts. The
Company provides a variety of loan and deposit services to its customers through
13 locations. The Company is supervised by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System ("FRB") and it is also subject to the jurisdiction of the
Massachusetts Board of Bank Incorporation, while the Bank is subject to
regulation and supervision by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")
and the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks (the "Commissioner"). The Bank's
deposits are insured by the FDIC and the Depositors Insurance Fund, Inc.
("DIF").
     Andover Bank NH was a wholly-owned de novo guaranty savings bank chartered
in September, 1995 and headquartered in Salem, New Hampshire. The Company merged
Andover Bank NH with and into Andover Bank as of close of business on June 30,
1999.
     The accounting and reporting policies of Andover Bancorp, Inc. and
subsidiaries conform with generally accepted accounting principles and general
practices within the banking industry. In preparing the financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet
and income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly
susceptible to change relate to the allowance for loan loss and the valuation of
mortgage servicing assets. The following is a summary of the more significant
accounting policies.

Principles of Consolidation
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Andover
Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including its principal subsidiary Andover
Bank. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation for
comparative purposes. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income. In
addition, the Company is reporting its results as one operating segment.

Mortgage Banking Activities
     Loans held for sale in the secondary market are stated at the lower of
aggregate amortized cost or market value. Market value is estimated based on
outstanding investor commitments or, in the absence of such commitments, current
investor yield requirements. Net unrealized losses, if any, are provided for in
a valuation allowance by charges to operations. When loans are sold, a gain or
loss is recognized to the extent that the sale proceeds exceed or are less than
the carrying amount of the loans. Gains and losses are determined using the
specific identification method.
     The Company recognizes a servicing asset based on an allocation of the
carrying amount of the assets sold between the underlying asset sold and the
servicing obligation or other retained interests using the relative fair value
of the assets sold to the interests retained. These capitalized mortgage loan
servicing rights are a significant component of the net gains from sales of
assets held for sale income category.
     Mortgage loan servicing rights purchased or originated are amortized
against mortgage banking income using a method which approximates the level
yield method in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing
income. Prepayment experience on each mortgage servicing asset is reviewed
periodically, and, when actual prepayments exceed estimated prepayments, the
balance of the mortgage servicing asset is adjusted by a charge to the valuation
allowance. On a regular basis, the mortgage servicing assets are assessed for
impairment based on the fair value of such rights. The fair value is estimated
using market prices when available or, alternatively, using a valuation model
that calculates the present value of future servicing asset cash flows using
discount rates and prepayment assumptions that management believes market
participants would use. Any impairment in the fair value of those mortgage
servicing assets is recognized by a charge to the valuation allowance. The risk
characteristics of the underlying loans used to measure impairment of originated
and purchased mortgage loan servicing rights include the loan type, interest
rate, loan origination date, term to maturity and geographic location.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997


Investments
     Investments include short-term, available for sale, held to maturity and
trading. Debt securities are classified as held to maturity only when there is
positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Such securities are
recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion
of discounts and adjusted as necessary for estimated prepayments. Trading
securities are debt and equity securities held principally for the purpose of
selling in the near term. Such securities are recorded at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses recorded in earnings. Investments available for sale
are any debt and equity securities not classified as either held to maturity or
trading securities. Such investments are recorded at fair value with changes in
fair value recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of the
related income tax effect. Originated mortgage loans converted to
mortgage-backed securities to be sold are classified as trading. Gains and
losses on sales of investment and mortgage-backed securities are recognized
using the specific identification method. Premiums and discounts on investment
and mortgage-backed securities are amortized or accreted into income by use of
the level-yield method. The yields on mortgage-backed securities are affected by
prepayments and changes in interest rates. If a decline in fair value below the
amortized cost basis of an investment or mortgage-backed security is judged to
be other than temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to fair
value. The amount of the writedown is included as a charge against gain on sale
of securities. Short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or
less are carried at cost, which approximates market value.

Loans
     Accrual of interest income on loans and amortization of net deferred loan
fees are discontinued when loan payments are 90 days or more past due or earlier
when concern exists as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest. When
loans are placed on nonaccrual status, the interest receivable on the loan is
reversed against interest income of the current period. Non-performing loans are
generally not returned to performing status until the obligation is brought
current, the loan becomes well-secured and in the process of collection and, in
either case, when concern no longer exists as to the collectibility of principal
or interest. Interest received on nonaccruing loans is either applied against
principal or reported as income according to management's judgment as to the
collectibility of principal.
     Loan origination fees and related direct incremental loan origination costs
are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loans as yield
adjustments using the level yield method. When loans are sold or paid off, the
unamortized fees and costs are recognized to income. Purchased loan discounts
and premiums are amortized or accreted into income over the weighted average
repricing term of the underlying loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses
     The Bank maintains an allowance for possible losses that are inherent in
its loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions charged against
earnings or by recoveries of previously charged-off loans. The allowance is
decreased as loans are charged-off.
     The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate for
loan losses based on evaluations of collectibility and prior loss experience,
changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio
quality, specific problem loans and current and anticipated economic conditions
that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. A substantial portion of the
Bank's loans are secured by real estate in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the Bank's
loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in market conditions in these areas.
     Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While
management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future
additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic
conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of
their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan
losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the
allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the
time of their examination.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Impaired loans are commercial, commercial real estate, and individually
significant mortgage and consumer loans for which it is probable that the
Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual
terms of the loan agreement. The definition of "impaired loans" is not the same
as the definition of "nonaccrual loans", although the two categories overlap.
Nonaccrual loans include impaired loans and are those on which the accrual of
interest is discontinued when collectibility of principal or interest is
uncertain or payments of principal or interest have been contractually past due
90 days. The Company may choose to place a loan on nonaccrual status due to
payment delinquency, while not classifying the loan as impaired due to
insignificant payment delays and insignificant shortfalls in payment amounts.
Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment
status and collateral value. The amount of impairment for these types of
impaired loans is determined by the difference between the present value of the
expected cash flows related to the loan, using the original contractual interest
rate and its recorded value, or, as a practical expedient in the case of
collateral dependent loans, the difference between the fair value of the
collateral and the recorded amount of the loans. When foreclosure is probable,
impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral. Loan
restructurings at below current market rates are reported as impaired loans and
impairment is measured as described above using the loan's pre-modification rate
of interest. Income received on impaired loans is recognized in income similar
to nonaccrual loans.

Other Real Estate Owned
     Other real estate owned is comprised of properties acquired through
foreclosure proceedings, acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or when the
Bank is in possession of the collateral. Real estate owned is recorded at the
lower of the carrying value of the loan or the net fair value of the property.
Losses arising from the acquisition of such properties are charged against the
allowance for loan losses. Operating expenses, net of related income, and any
provisions to increase the valuation allowance are charged to real estate
operations. Subsequent declines in net fair value are charged-off to the
valuation allowance while gains and losses upon disposition are reflected in
real estate operations. Management believes the allowance is adequate to provide
for potential losses. However, future additions to the valuation allowance may
be necessary based on changes in economic conditions.

Premises and Equipment
     Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation or amortization is computed on the straight-line method over the
lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or over the terms of their
respective leases for leasehold improvements. It is the Company's practice to
charge the cost of maintenance and repairs to operations when incurred; major
expenditures for improvements are capitalized and depreciated.

Income Taxes
     Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method of
accounting. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date. The valuation allowance
related to deferred tax assets is recognized when, in management's judgment, it
is more likely than not that all, or a portion of, such deferred tax assets will
not be realized.

Employee Benefits
     The Company accounts for pension and postretirement benefits on the net
periodic cost method for financial reporting purposes. This method recognizes
the compensation cost of any employee's benefit over that employee's approximate
service period. After evaluating the Company's pension plan in early 1999, the
Company elected to terminate the plan. In its stead, the Bank increased the
employer contribution to the 401(k) plan and adopted a new replacement defined
contribution plan effective January 1, 2000. Due to the termination of the
pension plan, the Company recognized curtailment and settlement gains of $1.6
million in 1999.
     The Company continues to follow APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees" as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). For companies
that elect to continue using APB 25, SFAS 123 requires disclosure of the pro
forma effect of using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based
compensation that is encouraged by SFAS 123. The proforma disclosures include
the effects of all awards granted on or after January 1, 1995. See footnote 14
for the expanded disclosures required by SFAS 123.

Earnings Per Share
     There are two methods of calculating earnings per share: basic and diluted.
Basic earnings per share excludes common stock equivalents and is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potential
dilutive common shares using the average market price of the Company's common
stock for the period plus the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the equivalent period of time.

     A reconciliation of the common shares outstanding for the three years ended
December 31, follows:

     At December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, mortgage loans partially or wholly
owned by others and serviced by the Company amounted to approximately
$956,358,000, $894,432,000 and $971,041,000 respectively, and are not reflected
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because they are not
assets of the Company. The custodial balances included in the demand deposits
totaled $12,689,000 in 1999, $22,627,000 in 1998 and $16,422,000 in 1997.

     During 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company purchased mortgage servicing rights
to $233.2 million, $184.7 million and $228.8 million, respectively, in
residential first mortgage loans. These purchased balances are included in the
loans serviced for others reflected above. Gains resulting from the
capitalization of originated mortgage servicing rights are included in net gains
on assets held for sale. Amortization of the mortgage servicing assets and the
provisions for the valuation allowance are included as a reduction of mortgage
banking income. However, credits for the valuation allowance increase mortgage
banking income.

(9) OTHER BORROWINGS

     Other borrowings consist of various short-term borrowings that typically
have a maturity date of 90 days or less. However, FHLB overnight and federal
funds purchased have maturities of one day. In addition, the Bank enters into
sales of securities under agreements to repurchase. These agreements are treated
as financings and the obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as
a liability in the consolidated balance sheets and the securities underlying the
agreements remain in the asset accounts. The securities underlying the
agreements are held by third parties as custodian for the Bank. The Bank has
also established overnight corporate customer repurchase agreements whereby
collateral is set aside by the Bank's custodian and the rates paid approximate
short term deposit or market interest rates (see note 3).

     The composition of other borrowings at December 31 follows:

     The existing net deductible temporary differences that give rise to the net
deferred income tax asset are expected to reverse in periods in which the
Company will generate net taxable income. At December 31, 1999, the net deferred
tax asset is supported by recoverable income taxes of approximately $23.0
million. It should be noted, however, that factors beyond management's control,
such as the general state of the economy and real estate values, can affect
levels of taxable income and that no assurance can be given that sufficient
taxable income will be generated to fully absorb gross deductible temporary
differences.

31, follow:

(12) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Preferred Stock
     In connection with the Company's adoption of a Shareholder Rights Plan on
January 21, 1999, the Company established a series of 100,000 shares of
preferred stock designated as Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred
Stock, par value $0.10 per share ("Series A Stock") and declared a dividend of
one Preferred Stock Purchase Right (the "Right") for each outstanding share of
the Company's Common Stock held of record as of February 16, 1999.


                                       21

                     ANDOVER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
                        December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997


     Pursuant to the Shareholder Rights Plan, each Right entitles the holder to
purchase a unit consisting of one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Stock,
par value $0.10 per share, at an initial cash exercise price of $130.00 per
unit, subject to adjustment. The Rights are not exercisable and remain attached
to all outstanding shares of Common Stock until the earliest of (i) ten calendar
days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or
associated persons (an "Acquiring Person") has acquired beneficial ownership of
15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the date of said
announcement being referred to as the "Stock Acquisition Date"), (ii) ten
business days following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer
that could result in a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person or (iii) the
declaration by the Board of Directors that a person is an "Adverse Person", as
such term is defined in the Shareholder Rights Plan.
     In the event that a Stock Acquisition Date occurs or the Board of Directors
determines that a person is an Adverse Person, each holder of a Right will be
entitled to receive upon exercise that number of units of Series A Stock having
a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. In the event that,
at any time following the Stock Acquisition Date, (i) the Company is acquired in
a merger or other business combination transaction or (ii) 50% or more of the
Company's assets or earning power is sold, each holder of a Right shall
thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the
acquiring company having a market value equal to two times the exercise price of
the Right. The Rights have no voting or dividend privileges and, until they
become exercisable, have no dilutive effect on the earnings of the Company. The
Rights expire on February 16, 2009.
     The holders of Series A Stock would be entitled to a preference with
respect to dividends and liquidation.

Stock Repurchase Plan
     In October 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved a common stock
repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of 5%, or 324,000 shares, of the
Company's common stock outstanding. Purchases may be made on the open market or
in private transactions. As of December 31, 1999, no shares had been
repurchased.

Retained Earnings
     The Company may not declare or pay cash dividends on its common stock if
the effect thereof would cause its net worth to be reduced below regulatory net
worth requirements or if such declaration and payment would otherwise violate
regulatory requirements.
     The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered
by 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
Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. The Bank's 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 Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk
weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average
assets (as defined). Management believes that as of December 31, 1999, the Bank
met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
     As of December 31, 1999, the most recent notification from the FDIC
categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the prompt corrective action
provisions. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain total
capital risk-based, Tier 1 capital risk-based, and Tier 1 capital leverage
ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that
notification that management believes would cause a change in the Bank's
categorization.

(14) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Pension Plan and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
     The Company sponsors a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan that
covers all employees who meet specified age and employment requirements. The
plan provides for benefits to be paid to eligible employees at retirement based
primarily upon their years of service with the Company and compensation levels
near retirement. In addition, the Bank provides health care and life insurance
benefits for certain eligible retired employees.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan
     The Company maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") that
covers all employees who meet specified age and length of service requirements.
Contributions are made for the purchase of additional shares of Company stock
and accordingly, a charge to salaries and employee benefits expense is recorded.
In 1999, 11,566 shares of common stock were purchased in the open market at an
average price of $30.63 per share, which when combined with forfeited shares are
allocated to participants proportionately to their gross wages. In 1998 and
1997, 11,552 and 15,316 shares were purchased at an average price of $32.32 and
$24.45 per share, respectively. Contributions by the Bank to the ESOP for
participants for the years ended December 31, 1999, October 31, 1998 and 1997
were $355,000, $375,000 and $385,000, respectively.

Thrift Incentive Plan
     The Company has an employee tax deferred thrift incentive plan [401(k)]
under which individual employee contributions to the plan are matched within
certain limitations by the Bank. All employees who meet specified age and length
of service requirements are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan. The
amounts matched by the Bank are included in salaries and employee benefits
expense. The amounts matched for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997 were $91,000, $94,000 and $71,000, respectively.

Officers Incentive Compensation Plan
     The Incentive Compensation Plan provides for the payment of bonuses to
officers under certain circumstances based upon the Company's pre-tax earnings
adjusted for gains or losses from sales of assets, targeted returns on assets
and the individual's accomplishment of established goals and objectives. Amounts
are to be allocated to participants as determined by the Company's Compensation
and Option Committee based on the recommendation of the President and subject to
approval by its Board of Directors.
     In 1999, 1998 and 1997 $620,000, $490,000 and $318,000, respectively, was
charged to salaries and employee benefits expense under this plan.

Executive Officer Employment and Termination Agreements
     The Company maintains an employment agreement with its President and Chief
Executive Officer, The employment agreement generally provides for the continued
payment of specified compensation and benefits for specified periods after
termination, unless the termination is for "cause" as defined in the employment
agreement. In addition, the Company has entered into special termination
agreements with its President and Chief Executive Officer and certain other
executives which provide for the payment, under certain circumstances, of
lump-sum amounts upon termination following a "change of control" which is
generally defined to mean a person or group acquiring ownership of 25% or more
of the shares of the Company.

Deferred Compensation Plan
     The Company has adopted a deferred compensation plan for its directors
whereby a non-employee director can elect to defer earned fees to future years
with benefits commencing at retirement. In 1996, this unfunded plan was amended
to allow the directors to change their deferred compensation account to
equivalent stock units in the Company's common stock, permit distribution upon
retirement to be paid in shares of common stock, or to choose to receive
interest credits based on an equivalent rate on a term certificate of deposit.
The amended deferred compensation plan reserved 75,000 shares of common stock,
approximately 50,000 shares remain unallocated. The deferred compensation
attributed to the directors for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
totaled $159,000, $108,000 and $89,000, respectively. In 1999, 5,553 equivalent
stock units were allocated at an average price of $30.81. In 1998 and 1997,
3,295 and 4,277 equivalent stock units were allocated at an average price of
$32.79 and $23.93 per stock unit, respectively.

(15) FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet
financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated
future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered
financial instruments. Other significant assets and liabilities that are not
considered financial assets or liabilities include real estate acquired by
foreclosure, the deferred income tax asset, office properties and equipment,
core deposits and other intangibles. In addition, the tax ramifications related
to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant
effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the
estimates. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not
represent the underlying value of the Company. The estimated fair value amounts
have been determined by using available quoted market information or other
appropriate valuation methodologies.

     The fair value estimates provided are made at a specific point in time,
based on relevant market information and the characteristics of the financial
instrument. The estimates do not provide for any premiums or discounts that
could result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument. Because
no active market exists for a portion of the Company's financial instruments,
certain fair value estimates are based on subjective judgments regarding current
economic conditions, risk characteristics of the financial instruments, future
expected loss experience, prepayment assumptions, and other factors. The
resulting estimates involve uncertainties and therefore cannot be determined
with precision. Changes made to any of the underlying assumptions could
significantly affect the estimates.

     Financial instruments actively traded in a secondary market have been
valued at December 31 using quoted available market prices follow:

</TABLE>

     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value of
each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate fair
value. The fair values for investments available for sale and held to maturity
are based on quoted bid prices received from securities dealers or third party
pricing services. Commitments to originate loans and forward commitments to sell
loans have been considered in the value of assets held for sale. Loans are
estimated by discounting contractual cash flows adjusted for prepayment
estimates and using discount rates approximately equal to current market rates
on loans with similar characteristics and maturities. The incremental credit
risk for non-performing loans has been considered in the determination of the
fair value of loans. Excess servicing is based on the present value of the
estimated cash flows using a current risk rate and taking into consideration
estimated prepayments. Fixed rate certificates and Federal Home Loan Bank
advances are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The
discount rates used are representative of approximate rates currently offered on
instruments with similar remaining maturities. The fair values for cash and
short-term investments approximate their carrying amounts because of the short
maturity of these instruments. The fair values of accrued interest receivable,
variable rate certificates, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and
mortgagors' escrow accounts approximate their carrying amounts because of the
short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of stock in the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston equals its carrying amount as reported in the
balance sheet because this stock is redeemable only at full par by the FHLB. The
fair values of demand deposit accounts, NOW accounts, regular savings accounts
and money market accounts are equal to their respective carrying amounts since
they are equal to the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date. The
majority of the Company's commitments for unused lines and outstanding standby
letters of credit and unadvanced portions of loans are at floating rates and,
therefore, there is no fair value adjustment.

(17) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK, COMMITMENTS AND
     CONTINGENCIES
     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
and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These
financial instruments include commitments to originate loans, standby letters of
credit, recourse arrangements on assets sold, and forward commitments to sell
loans. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and
interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets. The contract or notional 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, standby letters of
credit and recourse arrangements is represented by the contractual amount of
those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet
instruments. For forward commitments to sell loans and mortgage-backed
securities, the contract or notional amounts do not represent exposure to credit
loss. The Company monitors the credit risk of its forward commitments through
credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures.

</TABLE>

     Commitments to originate loans, unused lines of credit, and unadvanced
portions of 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 a portion 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 accounts
receivable, inventory, equipment and real estate. 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 in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
     The Company has retained credit risk on certain residential mortgage loans
sold with recourse prior to June, 1990. Accordingly, the Company has retained
the risk of loss resulting from any foreclosures on such loans.
     Forward commitments to sell loans or mortgage-backed securities are
contracts which the Company enters into for the purpose of reducing the interest
rate risk associated with originating loans for sale. In order to fulfill a
forward commitment, the Company typically exchanges its current production of
loans for mortgage-backed securities through FNMA or FHLMC which are then
delivered to a national securities firm at a future date at prices or yields
specified by the contracts. Risks may arise from the possible inability of the
Company to originate loans to fulfill these contracts, in which case the Company
would normally purchase securities in the open market to deliver against the
contract. Unrealized gains and losses on contracts used for the Company's closed
loans and pipeline of loans expected to close are considered in adjusting
carrying values of the loans held for sale to the lower of cost or market.
     As a nonmember of the Federal Reserve System, the Company is required to
maintain certain reserve requirements or vault cash and/or deposits with the
Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. The amount of this reserve requirement, included
in "Cash and due from banks", was $992,000 and $1,141,000 at December 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively.
     A number of legal claims against the Company arising in the normal course
of business were outstanding at December 31, 1999. Management, after reviewing
these claims with legal counsel, is of the opinion that the resolution of these
claims will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position.

(18) SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)
     On January 26, 2000, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to
acquire GBT Bancorp, Inc. ("GBT") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gloucester
Bank and Trust Company, a Massachusetts-chartered trust company with two banking
offices in Gloucester, Massachusetts. This agreement is subject to a number of
conditions, including regulatory approval. Under the terms of the agreement,
Gloucester Bank and Trust Company will continue to operate under its own name as
a subsidiary of Andover Bancorp, Inc.
     At December 31, 1999, GBT had $130.9 million in assets, primarily
commercial real estate loans and investment securities, and deposits of $103.5
million. The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase and has a total
value of approximately $16.2 million. The estimated portion of goodwill
attributed to this transaction is approximately $8.1 million.

     The following presentation reflects the key line items on a historical
basis, as reported, for GBT and Andover, and on a proforma combined basis
assuming the merger was in effect for the year ended December 31, 1999:

(19) QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED)
     Quarterly earnings per share is calculated by dividing quarterly net income
by the average shares outstanding each quarter. Therefore, the sum of the
quarters may not equal the net earnings per common share for the year. A
discussion of the difference between basic and diluted earnings per share is
presented in footnote 1.
     Summaries of consolidated operating results on a quarterly basis for the
years ended December 31, follow:
