Note 4 - OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED:

         Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure or
insubstance foreclosure amounted to $717,000 on three properties, at June 30,
1995.  All 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.  Any
write-down from book value to 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 June 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.

ITEM 2.
- -------

               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 June 30, 1995, the Company's total assets were $263,311,000
compared to $260,509,000 at December 31, 1994.  Interest bearing deposits with
the Federal Home Loan Bank increased $18,406,000 due to maturities and early
calls of investment securities.

         Deposits were $193,002,000 at June 30 1995, compared to $195,396,000
at December 31, 1994.  The decline and or change of mix in deposits is
attributable to daily deposit accounts seeking higher returns via transfers to
our certificate accounts and competitive investment vehicles.

         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 $65,228,000 on June 30, 1995.

         Shareholders equity has increased to $68,229,000 at June 30, 1995 or
25.9% 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 June 30, 1995 resulted in an increase of $3,489,000 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 SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
- -----------------------------------------------------

         The Company earned $2,893,000 or $.52 per share for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 compared to $2,958,000 or $.52 per share for the 1994
comparable period, after adjustment for  a two percent stock dividend paid
March 15, 1995.

         Net interest income totaled $5,798,000 for the current period compared
to $5,944,000 for the 1994 six month period.  The change in net interest income
is attributable to a shift in the mix of declining average balances of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, an increase in
yield/rate and the resultant change in corresponding income

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPERATIONS.  (CONTINUED)
- ------------------------

and/or expense accounts.  The composition of interest-earning assets reflects a
decline in interest-bearing deposits with other banks of $2,897,000 and
tax-exempt investment securities of $7,976,000.  These short-term funds are now
generating yields substantially higher than the 1994 period, 1.55% and 1.42%
respectively.  Loan balances declined $1,793,000 reflecting a sluggish economy
but the yield increased 21 basis points.  Taxable investment securities
increased $1,706,000 as management locked in yields that averaged 89 basis
points higher than 1994.  Interest-bearing liabilities reflect decreases in day
of deposit balance accounts of $17,844,000 with little change in rates paid,
while time certificates of deposit balances increased $5,032,000 at an average
cost of 4.62% compared to 3.41% for the 1994 period.  The Company's interest
rate spread remained constant, 3.93% in 1995 compared to 3.95% in 1994.

         There was no loan loss provision for the six months ended June 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 $325,000 for June 30, 1995 compared to
$359,000 for the 1994 six month period.  The decrease of $34,000 is due
primarily to a reduction in investment securities gains of $22,000 and the net
change in sales of other real estate owned of $12,000.  Other expense totaled
$2,028,000 in the current period compared to $2,109,000 in the 1994 six months
period, a decrease of $81,000.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
- -------------------------------------------------------

         The company had net income of $1,446,000 or $.26 per share, for the
three months ended June 30, 1995.  For the 1994 period, net income amounted to
$1,466,000 or $.26 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 $2,798,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 compared
to $2,944,000 for the 1994 comparable quarter.

         The factors contributing to the decline in net interest income of
$146,000 for the current quarter mirror those of the six month comparison,
specifically the change in deposit mix, an increase in yield/rate and the
results thereof.  The most significant factor was the increase in average
balances of time certificates of deposit of $9,120,000 and an increase in the
rate paid to 5.04% from 3.40% in 1994.  This increase escalated the cost of
deposits to 3.80%, a jump of 91 basis points over the 1994 quarter.  Interest
rate spread at June 30, 1995 amounted to 3.63% compared to 3.94% for 1994.

         There was no provision for loan losses in the current quarter nor for
the quarter ended June 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 $258,000, an increase of $43,000 compared to
$215,000 for June 30, 1994.  Investment securities gains increased $49,000,
partially offset by the gain of $6,000 from the sale of other real estate
owned.  Other expense totaled $1,004,000 at June 30, 1995 compared to
$1,103,000 for the comparable 1994 quarter, a decrease of $99,000.

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 June 30, 1995, the Company's one year
interest rate sensitivity cumulative gap position is asset sensitive 5.9%, as a
percent of total earning assets.

         The following table depicts the Company's interest rate sensitivity at June 30, 1995.

         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-case
basis.  Banks that fail to meet these minimum leverage capital levels will not,
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 instruments (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 June 30, 1995 all of the
retained earnings, $35.9 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.
