Note 4 - OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED:

         Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure or
insubstance foreclosure amounted to $236,000 on four properties, at March 31,
1996. One property with a cost of $43,000 was sold in April, 1996. The remaining
properties are being actively marketed. The Bank anticipates their sale during
1996.

         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 March 31, 1996 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
- -------------------

         Total assets amounted to $267,428,000 at March 31, 1996, compared to
$267,271,000 on December 31, 1995. Net loans increased $5,751,000,
interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Home Loan Bank increased $6,400,000
while investment securities available-for-sale decreased $12,567,000. This
decrease is due primarily to early calls of investment securities by the issuer.

         Deposits totaled $196,298,000 at March 31, 1996, compared to
$195,569,000 on December 31, 1995. The composition of deposits continues to
migrate into certificate accounts as seen in the average balance analysis on
page 12.

         The Bank's liquidity consists of deposits at the Federal Home Loan Bank
of $61,858,000 and investments in U.S. Treasury securities of $40,781,000 for
total of $102,639,000 at March 31, 1996.

         Shareholders equity equaled $66,992,000 at March 31, 1996, compared to
$67,775,000 on December 31, 1995, a decrease of $783,000. A reduction in net
unrealized holding gain on AFS securities of $1,386,000 after recording net
income of $1,461,000, less dividends paid totaling $861,000, accounts for the
decrease. Management is not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that
will have or that are reasonably likely to have material effect on the company's
liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
- ----------------------

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------

         Net income for the current quarter totaled $1,461,000 or $.25 per share
compared to $1,447,000 or $.25 per share for the 1995 first quarter, after
adjustment for a two-percent stock dividend.

         Net interest income amounted to $2,491,000 for the current period
compared to $3,000,000 for the 1995 first quarter, a decrease of $509,000 or
17.00%. This decrease is

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

(CONTINUED)

attributable to the changes within our average balance sheet and a decline in 
short-term rates.

         Total interest-bearing assets reflect a decrease in taxable investment
securities of $42,320,000 due primarily to early calls by the issuer. The early
calls contributed to interest-bearing deposits with other banks increasing
$44,712,000. These funds earned an average rate of 5.05%.

         Total interest-bearing liabilities reflect an increase in time
certificates of deposit of $12,021,000, as depositors seek higher yields, while
regular savings, NOW accounts and money market accounts collectively decreased a
total of $11,058,000. The average rate on time certificates of deposit increased
121 basis points to 5.38%. The interest rate spread stood at 3.95% at March 31,
1996, compared to 4.79% in 1995's first quarter.

         There was no provision for loan losses in the current quarter nor for
the quarter ended March 31, 1995. The zero provision for 1996 reflects
managements judgment 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 $534,000, an increase of $467,000 compared to
$67,000 for March 31, 1995. Investment securities gains increased $488,000,
partially offset by the loss of $24,000 from the sale of other real estate
owned. Other expense totaled $921,000 at March 31, 1996, compared to $1,024,000
for the comparable 1995 quarter, a decrease of $103,000.

(CONTINUED)

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 March 31, 1996, the Company's one year interest rate
sensitivity cumulative gap position is asset sensitive 19.2%, as a percent of
total earning assets.

The following table depicts the Company's interest rate sensitivity at March 31, 1996.

         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 March 31, 1996 all of the retained
earnings, $35.3 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.
