Note 4 - OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED:

     Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure or insubstance
foreclosure amounted to $96,000 on two properties, at June 30, 1997.

     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.

Restructured loans           0           0
</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, 1997 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, 1997, the Company's total assets were $259,453,000 compared to
$271,569,000 at December 31, 1996, a decrease of $12,116,000. Changes in earning
assets are as follows: Net loans decreased $10,600,000, however, commercial
paper totaling $12,000,000 matured in January of 1997, resulting in an actual
net increase of $1,400,000. Interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Home Loan
Bank decreased $14,000,000, partially offset by an increase in investment
securities of $11,200,000.

     Deposits stood at $189,869,0000 at June 30, 1997 compared to $198,148,000
at December 31, 1996, a decrease of $8,279,000 as depositors sought higher
yields from non-banking entities. Day of deposit accounts decreased $4,636,000
and certificates of deposit $3,643,000.

     The Bank's liquidity position remains strong. The primary sources of
liquidity are the deposits at the Federal Home Loan Bank of $39,858,000 and
investments in U.S. Treasury securities of $39,101,000 on June 30, 1997.

     Shareholders equity amounted to $67,291,000 at June 30, 1997 or 25.0% of
total assets, compared to $66,177,000 or 25.4% of total assets, December 31,
1996. The adjustment for net unrealized holding gain on AFS securities at June
30, 1997 resulted in an increase of $460,000 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, 1997 AND 1996

     The Company earned $3,036,000 or $.52 per share for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 compared to $2,896,000 or $.50 per share for the 1996 comparable
period, after adjustment for a two percent stock dividend paid in March 15,
1997.

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

     Net interest income totaled $5,185,000 for the current period compared to
$5,005,000 for the 1996 six month period, an increase of $180,000. This increase
is due to a higher yield on average earning assets while the rate paid on
average interest-bearing liabilities remained constant. The yield on average
taxable investment securities increased 26 basis points to 7.49% primarily from
purchases of callable government agency paper. The reduction in the yield on
average loans is due in part to the purchase of commercial paper at short-term
money market rates. The interest rate spread for the six months of 1997 amounted
to 3.17%, an increase of 17 basis points over the 1996 comparable period.

     There was no loan loss provision for the six months ended June 30, 1997 or
1996. The zero provision for 1997 and 1996 reflects management's 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 $509,000 for June 30, 1997, a decrease of $365,000
over the 1996 comparable period. This decrease is primarily the result of a
reduction in investment securities gains realized during the current period of
$408,000, partially offset by a non-recurring loss on the sale of OREO of
$28,000. Other expense decreased $83,000 compared to the 1996 total of
$1,787,000.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

     Net income for the current quarter totaled $1,528,000 or $.26 per share
compared to $1,435,000 or $.25 per share for the 1996 comparable quarter.

     Net interest income amounted to $2,600,000 for the June 1997 quarter
compared to $2,514,000 for the June 1996 quarter, an increase of $86,000. This
increase is due primarily to the improved yield on average taxable investment
securities as well as the increase in the average balance. The increase in
average loans is due in part to purchases of commercial paper which yield
short-term money market rates thereby causing the average yield on loans to
decrease. Total average interest-bearing liabilities declined $6,495,000 which
offset the increase in the average rate paid of 15 basis points. The decline in
average balance on interest-bearing deposits reflects the depositors desire for
a higher yield, particularly in day of deposit accounts.

     There was no provision for loan losses in the current quarter nor for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996. The zero provision for 1997 reflects management's
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 decreased $73,000 in the current quarter to $267,000. The
decline in investment securities gains of $86,000 accounted for this decline
partially offset by other increases of $13,000. Other expense totaled $815,000
at June 30, 1997, a decrease of $53,000 or 6.1% compared to June 30, 1996.

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, 1997, the Company's one year interest rate
sensitivity cumulative gap position is asset sensitive 19.0%, as a percent of
total earning assets.

The following table depicts the Company's interest rate sensitivity at June 30,
1997.

       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, 1997 all of the retained
earnings, $36.6 million, could be distributed in accordance with Rule 4-08 (e)
(1) of Regulation 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.
