   Note 4 - OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED:

         Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure
   or in substance foreclosure amounted to $727,000 on four properties, at
   September 30, 1995.  One property with a cost of $59,000 was sold in
   October, 1995.  The remaining  properties are being actively marketed.  The
   Bank anticipates their sale during 1995.

         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 
   required at the time of foreclosure or classification as in-substance 
   foreclosure is charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Expenses incurred 
   in connection with maintaining these assets, subsequent write-downs and 
   gains or losses recognized upon sale are included in other expense.

</TABLE>

         Management's  policy is to, on a  monthly basis, review loans  that
   are 90 days past due to determine the future collectibility of both
   principal and interest.  When income is determined to be uncollectible, the
   loan is put on a nonaccrual status.

         As of  September 30,  1995 there  were no potential  problem loans
   which management reasonably expects  will materially impact future operating
   results, liquidity or capital resources, or represent material credits which
   causes management to have serious doubts as to the  ability of the borrower
   to comply with the  loan repayment terms.   There were no loan
   concentrations exceeding 10% of total loans.

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

         This financial review of Portsmouth Bank Shares, Inc. is intended
   to broaden the understanding of the Company's financial condition and
   operating results.  This section should be read in conjunction with the
   Company's consolidated  financial statements, related notes and
   supplementary financial data.

         As a financial services organization, Portsmouth Bank Shares,
   Inc. should be reviewed in terms of the trends in its cash flows and
   changes in financial condition, as well as the yields on earning
   assets compared with the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

         The results of operations are largely dependent upon net  interest
   income, which is the sum of interest and fees on loans and income on
   investments less interest expense paid on  deposits.  Interest income  is
   a function of the average  balance  of loans and investments outstanding
   during the period  and the rates earned.  Interest expense is a function
   of  the average balance of deposits outstanding during the period and the
   rates paid during the period on such deposits.  Net income is also affected
   by the level of non- interest income and expenses.

   Financial Condition
   -------------------

         At September 30, 1995, the Company's total assets were
   $267,328,000 compared to $260,509,000 at December 31, 1994.  Interest
   bearing deposits with the Federal Home Loan Bank increased $32,330,000 due
   to maturities and early calls of investment securities.

         Deposits were $196,114,000 at September 30 1995, compared to
   $195,396,000 at December 31, 1994.  The increase in deposits is
   attributable primarily to higher rates offered on our certificate accounts.

         The Bank's liquidity position remains strong.  The primary sources of
   liquidity are in addition to the deposits at the Federal Home Loan Bank,
   investments in U.S. Treasury securities of $64,999,000 on September 30,
   1995.

         Shareholders equity has increased to  $68,880,000 at September 30,
   1995 or 25.8% of total assets, compared  to $63,915,000 or 24.5% of  total
   assets, December 31, 1994.  The adjustment  for net  unrealized  holding
   gain  on AFS securities at September 30, 1995 resulted in an increase of
   $3,554,000 in shareholders equity.  Management is not aware of any trends,
   events or uncertainties that will have or that are reasonably likely to have
   a material effect on the company's liquidity, capital resources or results
   of operations.

   Results of Operations:
   ----------------------

   Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 and 1994
   -----------------------------------------------------------

         The Company earned $4,283,000 or $.76 per share  for the nine months
   ended September 30,  1995 compared to $4,385,000 or  $.77 per share for the
   1994 comparable period, after adjustment for a two percent stock dividend
   paid March 15, 1995.

         Net interest income totaled $8,517,000 for the current period compared
   to $8,922,000 for the 1994 nine month period.  The  decrease in net interest
   income is the direct result of average time certificates of deposit
   increasing $8.1 million and the resultant rate paid on these deposits
   increasing to 4.89% from 3.45%.  The increase in the rate paid on average
   time certificates of deposit attracted new money but also drew from existing
   lower yielding day of deposit accounts.   The rate paid on total
   average interest bearing liabilities increased

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Operations.  (Continued)
   ------------------------

   to 3.71% or 79 basis points compared to 2.92% on September 30, 1994.  The
   yield on total average interest bearing assets was not able to keep
   pace with the increase on the liability side.   Specifically a weak  loan
   demand and more competitive bidding for tax exempt investment securities
   hampered asset management.  For the nine month comparative period, the net
   interest rate spread declined 26 basis points to 3.69% from 3.95%.

         There was  no loan loss provision  for the nine months ended
   September 30,  1995 or 1994.  The zero provision for both 1995 and 1994
   reflects managements judgement of the adequacy of the loan loss reserve
   and current market conditions.  Management is not aware of any trends or
   uncertainties which would materially impact results of future operations.

         Other income  amounted to $393,000 for  September 30, 1995 compared
   to $420,000 for the 1994 nine  month period.  The decrease  of $27,000 is
   due primarily to a reduction in investment securities  gains of  $16,000
   and  the net change in other income categories.  Other expense totaled
   $2,834,000 in the current period compared to $3,131,000  in the 1994 nine
   months period, a decrease of $297,000.  The decrease reflects a reduction in
   general and administrative expenses of $166,000 and a refund on FDIC
   assessments of $131,000.

   Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 and 1994
   ------------------------------------------------------------

         The company  had net income of  $1,390,000 or $.25  per share, for the
   three months ended  September 30, 1995.  For the 1994 period, net income
   amounted to $1,427,000 or $.25 per share, after adjustment for a two percent
   stock dividend paid March 15, 1995.

         Net  interest  income, the  difference  between the  amount  of
   interest earned  on interest earning  assets and  amounts paid  on  interest
   bearing  liabilities amounted  to $2,719,000 for the  quarter ended
   September 30,  1995 compared to $2,978,000  for the 1994 comparable quarter.

         The  decline in  net interest  income of  $259,000 in  the  current
   quarter  was due primarily  to a shift  in the composition  of average total
   interest bearing liabilities, whereby time certificates of deposit balances
   increased $14.3 million to $99.5 million and the rate paid  increased 188
   basis points to 5.40%.  Further exacerbating this problem was the transfer
   from lower yielding day of deposit accounts which declined $22.1 million
   from the  comparable  September 1994  period.    Total  average  interest
   bearing  assets  also experienced  change  in their  makeup  as  a number
   of  fixed  income taxable  investment securities  were called which
   resulted in an  increase in interest  bearing deposits with other  banks.
   These deposits  yield 114  basis points  less than the  taxable investment
   securities.  The net interest rate spread for the current quarter was 3.41%,
   a decrease of 55 basis points compared to 3.96% for the 1994 September
   quarter.

         There was no provision for loan losses in the current quarter nor
   for the quarter ended September 30, 1994.   The zero provision for 1995
   provision reflects managements judgement of the adequacy of the loan
   loss reserve and current market conditions.  Management is not aware
   of any trends or uncertainties which would materially impact results of
   future operations.

         Other income amounted to $68,000, an  increase of $7,000  compared
   to  $61,000 for September 30,  1994.   Other expense totaled  $806,000 at
   September 30, 1995  compared to $1,022,000 for the comparable 1994
   quarter, a decrease  of $216,000.  An  FDIC assessment refund  of $131,000
   and a decrease in general and administrative expenses of  $85,000
   accounted for this decrease.

   LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT

         The  Company, on  a monthly  basis, manages its  liquidity position
   as part  of its strategy to  better meet the cash requirements  for both its
   banking activities  and to be prepared to  satisfy the  needs of  its
   customers.   Management  seeks to  assure adequate liquidity by maintaining
   an appropriate match of the maturities of interest bearing assets and
   liabilities.

         Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to avoid fluctuating net
   interest margins and to achieve consistent growth of net interest
   income through periods of changing interest rates.   To accomplish rate
   sensitivity management requires maintaining an appropriate balance between
   interest sensitive assets and liabilities.  At September 30, 1995, the 
   Company's one year interest rate sensitivity cumulative gap position is 
   asset sensitive 8.2%, as a percent of total earning assets.

         Capital Requirements
         --------------------
         The FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board  have adopted minimum
   capital ratios and guidelines for banks and bank holding companies (on a
   consolidated basis) to provide a framework for assessing the adequacy of
   capital.

         Under its leverage capital adequacy guidelines, the FDIC requires that
   insured state banks, such as this Bank, maintain a ratio of Tier 1 or core
   capital to assets of not less than 3% for banks  rated composite 1 under the
   FDIC's CAMEL rating  system and who are not experiencing or anticipating any
   significant growth. For all other banks, the minimum core capital leverage
   ratio is 4%.  The FDIC may impose higher ratios for banks on a case-by-
   absent unusual circumstances, receive FDIC approval of applications to
   establish new branches or other transactions requiring approval.

         The FDIC has adopted so-called "risk based capital" guidelines for
   insured state non-member banks. These risk based guidelines generally
   require the Company and the Bank to maintain a consolidated ratio of Tier 1
   capital to risk-weighted assets, as defined, of at least 4%, and a
   consolidated ratio of total capital (as the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2
   capital, as defined below) to risk-weighted assets of at least 8%. Banks
   which are not rated composite 1 or 2 will generally be required to maintain 
   higher risk-based capital ratios determined by the FDIC on a case-by-case
   basis. 

         TIER 1 or core capital consists of common stock, surplus,
   undivided profits, disclosed capital reserves that represent a
   segregation of undivided  profits, foreign currency translation adjustments
   and minority interests in consolidated  subsidiaries less all intangible
   assets other than certain mortgage servicing rights.

         TIER 2 or supplementary capital consists of allowance for loan and
   lease losses  (up to certain maximums), perpetual preferred stock,
   long-term (minimum 20 year maturity) preferred stock intermediate-term 
   (minimum 5-year maturity) preferred stock, hybrid capital intstruments 
   (including mandatory convertible securities) and term subordinated debt.

         Restrictions on the Payment of Dividends or Distribution
         --------------------------------------------------------

         The New Hampshire Business Corporation Act (the "Business Corporation
   Act") permits Portsmouth to pay dividends on its capital stock only from its
   unreserved and unrestricted earned  surplus or  from its  net profits for
   the current  fiscal year  and the preceding fiscal year taken as a single
   period.

         The Bank is not subject to the Business Corporation Act, but the
   payment of a cash dividend or distribution may be restricted if the effect
   thereof would cause the net worth of the Bank to be reduced below either
   the amount required for the distribution and liquidation account or in

   the event that net worth requirements under New Hampshire or federal laws or
   regulations limit such dividends or distributions. In addition, the Bank is
   required under New Hampshire law to maintain a reserve of not less than 3% of
   the amount of its deposits in cash or in specified kinds of short-term
   investments, for the security of its depositors.  The Bank has consistently
   complied  with this requirement.  Furthermore, the Federal Deposit Insurance
   Act prohibits the Bank from paying dividends on its capital stock if it is in
   default in the payment of any assessment to the FDIC.

         The Company  is not under  any regulatory  restrictions regarding
   retained  earnings available for distribution.   At September  30, 1995 all
   of the retained  earnings, $36.4 million, could be distributed in accordance
   with Rule 4-08 (e) (1) of Regulations S-X.

         Earnings appropriated to bad debt reserves for losses and
   deducted for federal income tax purposes are not available for dividends
   or distributions without the prior payment of taxes at the current income
   tax rates on an amount greater than the amount appropriated to bad debt
   reserves.
