              Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1.    Consolidated Financial Statements

The  accompanying   unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the
accounts  of  Home  Port  Bancorp,  Inc.  ("The  Company"),   its  wholly  owned
subsidiary, Nantucket Bank ("the Bank") and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries
N.B. Securities,  Inc. ("a Massachusetts  Securities  Corporation") and N Realty
Corp. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with regulations
of the  Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Certain  information,  required by
generally accepted accounting principles, has been condensed or omitted pursuant
to such rules and regulations. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

The  financial  statements  for the  periods  ended  March 31, 1998 and 1997 are
unaudited,  but include normal recurring  adjustments which management considers
necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  of  results.   Interim  results  are  not
necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. It is
recommended  that  these  statements  be read in  conjunction  with the  audited
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997.

Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  130,  "Reporting
Comprehensive  Income," is  effective  for the  Company's  financial  statements
beginning  in  1998.  SFAS No.  130  establishes  standards  for  reporting  and
displaying  comprehensive  income,  which is  defined  as all  changes to equity
except  investments  by and  distributions  to  shareholders.  Net  income  is a
component of comprehensive  income, with all other components referred to in the
aggregate as other  comprehensive  income.  As of March 31, 1998 the  difference
between net income and  comprehensive  income was $2 thousand,  which represents
the net change in the unrealized gain on securities available for sale.

5.    Commitments

In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments that are not
reflected in the balance  sheet.  Firm  commitments  to  originate  mortgage and
commercial loans were $17.1 million at March 31, 1998.

6.    Loss on "Check-Kiting"

On March 25, 1998 the Company  announced that an investigation by Nantucket Bank
management revealed an apparent  "check-kiting"  scheme by one of its customers,
whereby  checks drawn on Nantucket Bank were timed to be covered by checks drawn
on another  bank while  checks  drawn on that other bank were  covered by checks
drawn on Nantucket Bank. The consequences of the described "check-kiting" caused
an overdraft of $518,000,  which has not been repaid. The Consolidated Statement
of Earnings  for the Three  Months  Ended  March 31,  1998  includes a charge of
$560,000 relating to this matter. This charge includes estimated legal and other
collection expenses.

Nantucket  Bank  has  reported  the  incident  to  regulatory  and   enforcement
authorities  and has  instructed its legal counsel to take vigorous legal action
seeking  full  recovery  of its loss  from its  customer  and other  sources.  A
complaint has been filed by Nantucket Bank in Superior Court,  Barnstable County
seeking such recovery. There is no assurance that Nantucket Bank will be able to
recover any of the $518,000 and related expenses.

 7.   Income Taxes

The effective rate for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 is 38.7%,  which is less
than the  statutory  rate of 42%  primarily  due to a reduction in the valuation
allowance and the status of the Bank's  subsidiary as a  Massachusetts  security
corporation.

Preliminary Note in Regard to Forward-looking  Statements. This quarterly report
on Form  10-QSB  contains  forward-looking  statements.  For this  purpose,  any
statements  contained  herein that are not statements of historical  fact may be

the Securities  Act of 1933, as amended.  Without  limiting the  foregoing,  the
words "believes,"  "anticipates," "plans," "expects" and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of important
factors that could cause the  registrant's  actual results to differ  materially
from  those  contemplated  by such  forward-looking  statements.  These  factors
include,  without  limitation,  those set forth below under the caption "Certain
Factors That May Affect Future Results." These and other risks are also detailed
from time to time in the  registrant's  filings with the Securities and Exchange

     Certain  Factors That May Affect Future  Results.  The following  important
factors,  among others,  could cause actual  results to differ  materially  from
those contemplated by  forward-looking  statements made in this quarterly report
on Form 10-QSB or presented  elsewhere by management from time to time.  Defined
terms used elsewhere in this quarterly  report have the same meanings  herein as
therein. A number of uncertainties  exist that could affect the Company's future
operating results,  including,  without limitation, the Bank's continued ability
to originate  quality loans,  fluctuation of interest rates,  real estate market
conditions in the Bank's lending area,  general and local  economic  conditions,
the Bank's  continued  ability to attract and retain  deposits,  new  accounting
pronouncements, and changing regulatory requirements.

                           Consolidated Balance Sheet

Total assets of Home Port Bancorp,  Inc. (the  "Company")  grew during the first
quarter of 1998, increasing 8.1% or $16.9 million to $225.7 million at March 31,
1998 from $208.8 million at December 31, 1997.  For the  comparable  three month
period in 1997, total assets decreased $.7 million to $189.2 million from $189.9
million. Major balance sheet categories are discussed in detail below.

Net loans  outstanding  (including  loans held for sale) were $189.6  million at
March 31, 1998, an increase of $14.7  million,  or 8.4%,  from $174.9 million at
December 31, 1997.  For the  comparable  period in 1997,  loans  increased  $4.0
million to $155.3 million from $151.3  million.  Loan sales totaled $6.5 million
during  the  first  quarter  of  1998  as  compared  to  $5.0  million  for  the
corresponding  1997 quarter.  The increase in the loan portfolio is attributable
to 14.0% growth in the residential  mortgage  portfolio during the first quarter
of 1998.

Total  deposits  increased by $5.0 million,  or 3.5%, to $147.4 million at March
31, 1998 from $142.4  million at December 31, 1997.  For the first quarter 1997,
deposits  decreased  $7.9 million,  or 6.2%. The increase in deposits in 1998 is
attributed to the strong local economy and the Bank's marketing efforts.

Borrowed  funds,  consisting of Federal Home Loan Bank  advances,  totaled $54.0
million at March 31,  1998,  an increase of $12.2  million from the December 31,
1997 total of $41.7 million. These borrowings were used to fund loan growth.

Total stockholders'  equity increased by $119 thousand to $22.1 million at March
31, 1998 from $21.9  million at December 31, 1997.  This  increase  reflects net
income of $485 thousand less cash dividends  declared of $368 thousand and a $10
thousand net unrealized gain on securities available for sale.

                              Results of Operations

For the quarter  ended March 31, 1998,  the Company  reported net income of $485
thousand or $0.26 per share compared to net income of $782 thousand or $0.42 per
share for the quarter  ended March 31,  1997.  The  decrease in earnings was the
result of non-recurring charges, including the previously announced check-kiting
loss, which reduced quarterly earnings by $385 thousand,  or $.21 per share. For
additional information on the loss see Note 6 of Notes to Unaudited Consolidated
Financial Statements at March 31, 1998.

Net Interest Income

Net interest and dividend  income,  before  provision  for loan losses,  for the
quarter increased $168 thousand or 7.8% to the prior year comparable quarter. On
a fully tax-equivalent basis the increase was $174 thousand. The increase in net
interest  income  was due to an  increase  in the  average  volume  of loans and
deposits offset by a reduction in the interest rate spread.

Additional  information on average balances,  interest and yields is included in
the following two tables:

(1)   Included in the average balance amounts are the  corresponding  components
      of the assets held for sale, available for sale and held to maturity.  The
      yield is calculated  using interest  income divided by the average balance
      of the amortized historical cost.

(2)   Tax-equivalent adjustment has been included in the calculations to reflect
      this income as if it had been fully taxable. The tax-equivalent adjustment
      is based upon the applicable  federal and state income tax rates.  The FTE
      adjustment  included  in interest  income was $12  thousand in 1998 and $6
      thousand in 1997.

The effect on net  interest  income as a result of  changes in average  interest
rates and balances follows:

                Unaudited Interim Information for March 31, 1998

Non-interest income

Non-interest income increased to $240 thousand in the first quarter of 1998 from
$223 thousand in the first  quarter of 1997.  This increase was primarily due to
an increase in net gains from the sale of mortgage loans to $30 thousand in 1998
from $13 thousand in 1997.

Non-interest expense

Non-interest  expense,  excluding  the loss  resulting  from the  "check-kiting"
situation,  increased by $123 thousand,  or 11.8%,  to $1.2 million in the first
quarter of 1998 from $1.0 million in the comparable  1997 period.  This increase
is due to increases in salaries and employee benefits and professional fees. The
increase in  personnel  costs was the result of an increase in staffing  levels.
The increase in professional  fees was due to increased audit and  non-recurring
tax  planning   expenses.   The  Company's   efficiency  ratio,   excluding  the
non-recurring  expenses,  was  42.95%  for the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1998,
compared to 44.05% comparable 1997 period.

Return on Equity

Return on average equity  decreased to an annualized rate of 8.82% for the first
quarter of 1998 from  15.45% for the same  period in 1997.  This  decrease  is a
result of the check-kiting loss incurred during the first quarter of 1998.

Provision for Loan Losses

The  allowance  for loan losses at March 31,  1998 was $2.9  million or 1.49% of
total loans compared to $2.6 million,  or 1.47% of total loans,  at December 31,
1997.  During the quarter ending March 31, 1998 the loan loss reserve  increased
by $250 thousand due to recoveries of $226 thousand and a loan loss provision of
$37  thousand,  offset by  charge-offs  of $13  thousand.  The Bank believes its
current  level of loan loss  reserves  to be  adequate.  Any  unforeseen  future
economic  problems,  however,  could  lead to the Bank  experiencing  additional
delinquencies which may require additional provisions for loan losses.

Non-performing Loans and Other Real Estate Owned

The Bank's  non-performing  loans totaled $664  thousand at March 31, 1998,  all
which  were  accruing  loans  with  payments  past  due  ninety  or  more  days.
Non-performing  loans at  December  31, 1997  totaled  $10  thousand of past due
accruing loans.  None of these loans were to affiliated  persons.  At both March
31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 the Bank had no other real estate owned. The Bank
had no loans which were considered "impaired" within the meaning of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114 and 118 at either March 31, 1998
or December 31, 1997.

At March 31, 1998 management has identified  $922 thousand of loans that,  while
currently  performing,  may pose potential problems due to some doubts about the
ability of the  borrowers  to comply with all of their  present  loan  repayment
terms.  The  resolution of these loans is not yet known.  The Bank believes that
its  allowance  for loan losses is adequate to absorb any losses that may result
from these loans.

                Unaudited Interim Information for March 31, 1998

Income Taxes

The  Company  and its  subsidiaries,  on a  consolidated  basis,  are subject to
Federal income tax. The Company is also subject to a Delaware  franchise tax and
a Massachusetts tax as a security  corporation.  The Bank and its subsidiary are
subject  to  a  Massachusetts   income  tax.  For  interim  unaudited  financial
statements,  management  calculated  the  provision for taxes using an estimated
combined Federal and state tax rate of approximately  40% and made an adjustment
decreasing the deferred tax valuation reserve. The expected tax rate is reviewed
and adjusted as necessary on a quarterly basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Substantially  all of the  Company's  funds are  generated  through  its banking
subsidiary,   Nantucket   Bank.  The  Bank's  sources  are  customer   deposits,
amortization  and payoffs of loans,  advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Boston,  sale  of  loans  in the  secondary  market,  maturities  and  sales  of
securities and positive cash flows generated from operations. As a member of the
Depositors'  Insurance  Fund,  the  Bank  also has a right  to  borrow  from the
Depositors  Insurance Fund for short-term cash needs by pledging certain assets,
although it has never  exercised  this right.  The Bank's  liquidity  management
program is designed to assure that  sufficient  funds are available to meet it's
daily needs.

The Bank believes its capital  resources,  including  deposits,  scheduled  loan
repayments,  revenue  generated from the sales of loans and  securities,  unused
borrowing  capacity at the Federal  Home Loan Bank of Boston,  and revenue  from
other sources will be adequate to meet its funding commitments.

At March 31, 1998 and December  31, 1997 the  Company's  and the Bank's  capital
ratios were in excess of regulatory requirements.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.           Legal Proceedings
                  The  Company  and its  subsidiaries  are not  involved  in any
                  pending  legal  proceedings  other than those  involved in the
                  ordinary  course  of  their  businesses,  and  the  litigation
                  relating  to the  check-kiting  loss  referred to in Note 6 of
                  Notes to Unaudited  Consolidated Financial Statements at March
                  31, 1998.  Management  believes  that the  resolution of these
                  matters will not  materially  affect their  businesses  or the
                  consolidated  financial  condition  of  the  Company  and  its
                  subsidiary.

Item 2.           Changes in Securities.
                  Not applicable.

Item 3.           Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
                  Not applicable.

Item 4.           Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
                  Not applicable.

Item 5.           Other Information.
                  A dividend of $.20 per common  share was  declared on February
                  5, 1998.  The cash  dividend  was paid on February 27, 1998 to
                  shareholders of record as of February 13, 1998.

                  Declaration of dividends by the Board of Directors  depends on
                  a  number  of   factors,   including   capital   requirements,
                  regulatory  limitations,  the Company's  operating results and
                  financial condition and general economic conditions.

                  b.      Reports on Form 8-K -

                             (1) On March 25,  1998,  a Form 8-K was filed  with
                             the SEC by the Company relating to an investigation
                             by the  management of Nantucket  Bank that revealed
                             an  apparent  "check-kiting"  scheme  by one of its
                             customers. The results of the "check-kiting" caused
                             an  overdraft  that  could  result in a loss to the
                             Bank of up to $518,000, plus related costs.
