     Item 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     General
     -------

     The Company. Home Port Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under
the laws of the State of  Delaware  on  November  12,  1987 for the  purpose  of
becoming a holding company.  On August 30, 1988, the Company acquired all of the
common stock of Nantucket  Bank (the "Bank" or "Nantucket  Bank")  following the
Bank's  conversion  from a  Massachusetts  chartered  mutual  savings  bank to a
Massachusetts  chartered  stock savings bank.  The Company is currently a single
bank holding company  registered  under the Federal Bank Holding Company Act. As
of  December  31,  1999,  the assets of the Company on an  unconsolidated  basis
consisted  principally  of the capital stock of the Bank. The Company is subject
to the regulations of, and periodic  examinations  by, the Federal Reserve Bank,
the   Commissioner  of  Banks  of  the   Commonwealth  of   Massachusetts   (the
"Commissioner")  and the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC").  The
Company's  activities are conducted solely in Nantucket  through its subsidiary,
Nantucket Bank.

     The Bank. The Bank is a Massachusetts  chartered savings bank, organized in
1834. The Bank conducts its business  through two  full-service  offices and one
automated teller facility,  all of which are located on the island of Nantucket,
Massachusetts. The Bank's deposits are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund of the
FDIC up to $100,000  per account and the  Depositors  Insurance  Fund, a private
deposit  insuring  company,  for  deposits  in excess of  $100,000.  The Bank is
subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Bank is subject to
the regulations of, and periodic examinations by, the FDIC and the Massachusetts
Division of Banks.
<PAGE>
     The Bank  provides a full  range of  banking  services  to  individual  and
corporate  customers on the island of  Nantucket.  The Bank's  primary  services
consist of attracting  deposits from  consumers and  businesses on Nantucket and
originating  loans on Nantucket  real estate,  including  both  residential  and
commercial properties. Due to the seasonal tourist-related economy on Nantucket,
the Bank's  deposits  generally peak during the summer  months.  The Bank's real
estate lending business is generally not impacted by the seasonal  economy.  The
Bank also  grants  commercial  business  loans and  consumer  loans.  Commercial
business  loans  normally  peak in the spring,  as  merchants  borrow to finance
inventory  and other  purchases  in  advance  of the  tourist  season.  The Bank
routinely sells loans in the secondary market,  normally retaining the servicing
rights.  The Bank  invests a portion of its funds in money  market  instruments,
federal  government and agency securities and corporate bonds. The Bank utilizes
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLB") as an additional source of funds.

     The Nantucket Real Estate Market. The Nantucket real estate market has been
very strong in recent years.  Total real estate sales on Nantucket  totaled $470
million in 1999, $401 million in 1998 and $318 million in 1997. During 1999, the
median  price of a home on Nantucket  was $600,000  compared to $450,000 in 1998
and $400,000 in 1997.

     Deterioration  in the local or  national  economies  could  have a negative
impact on the Nantucket  real estate  market.  A downturn in the Nantucket  real
estate  market could result in an increase in loan  delinquencies  for the Bank,
which could have a negative effect on the Company's results of operations due to
the possibility of additional loan loss provisions and reduced interest income.

Lending Activities
- ------------------

     Residential Real Estate Lending. The Bank makes conventional mortgage loans
to single family residential properties with original loan-to-value ratios up to
80% of the appraised value of the property  securing the loan. These residential
properties  serve as the primary or secondary  homes of the borrowers.  The Bank
also  originates  loans  on one to  four  family  dwellings  and  loans  for the
construction  of residential  housing for owner occupying  borrowers,  also with
original loan-to-value ratios up to 80% of the property's appraised value.

      Residential  mortgage  loans  made by the  Bank  have  traditionally  been
long-term loans made for periods of up to 30 years at either fixed or adjustable
rates of interest.  It has generally  been the Bank's policy to sell most of its
longer  term  (greater  than 10 years)  fixed  rate  loans and a portion  of its
adjustable  rate  loans,  while  retaining  the  servicing  rights.  The  Bank's
Asset/Liability  Committee  ("ALCO"),  which is comprised  of the Bank's  senior
management and certain other officers,  reviews this policy from time to time as
part of the Bank's overall asset/liability management program.

     The  majority  of  long-term   fixed  rate  loans  are   originated   using
underwriting  standards and standard documentation allowing their sale to FHLMC.
The Bank also offers jumbo fixed and variable rate mortgages.  The  underwriting
standards for jumbo loans are similar to those used for non-jumbo mortgages. The
Bank sells a portion of its jumbo mortgages.
<PAGE>
     The  majority  of  the  Bank's  loan   originations   are  adjustable  rate
residential  mortgage loans.  The interest rate on these loans may either adjust
on an annual basis,  or feature an initial period from three to ten years during
which the interest rate is fixed. Generally,  interest rates adjust on an annual
basis after any initial fixed rate term.  During 1999, most adjustable rate loan
originations featured an initial fixed rate term. Adjustable rate loans may have
limitations on the amount of the adjustment of 2.0% per adjustment and 6.0% over
the life of the loan,  and on the periods  within which the  adjustments  may be
made. Rate  adjustments on residential  mortgage loans are generally tied to the
weekly average yield on U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturities
of one year.  Despite the  benefits of  adjustable  rate  mortgage  loans to the
Bank's  asset/liability  management program,  they do pose potential  additional
risks,  primarily because as interest rates rise, the underlying payments by the
borrowers rise, increasing the potential for default, while at the same time the
marketability  of the  underlying  property may be adversely  affected by higher
interest rates.  The history of the one year Treasury bill index, as of the last
business  day of each year for the last three  years,  shows that this index has
fluctuated from 5.53% in 1997 to 4.52% in 1998 and 5.85% in 1999.

     The Bank may at times offer  adjustable rate mortgage loans with an initial
discount, as is customary in the marketplace.  This pricing decision is based on
management's  decision  to remain  competitive  while at the same time  assuring
prudent underwriting guidelines.  In this respect, the Bank underwrites loans as
if fully indexed, or within maximum limitations  established in secondary market
guidelines,  with a view  toward  minimizing  potential  losses  resulting  from
increased costs to the borrowers.

     Construction  loans on residential  properties are made to individuals  for
the  construction of their primary or secondary  homes.  Construction  loans are
made for up to 80% of the  appraised  value  of the  property  upon  completion.
Construction  loan funds are periodically  disbursed as pre-specified  stages of
construction are attained.  Residential  construction loans, which are typically
made  for a  period  of 30  years,  require  monthly  interest  payments  during
construction  and  begin to  amortize  after  the  construction  phase  has been
completed,  at which time they  automatically  convert into  permanent  mortgage
loans.

     Under a program  that has been in  existence  since  1993,  the Bank offers
loans on one to four family  primary  dwellings  for first time home buyers with
original loan to value ratios up to 90%.  These loans are made for periods up to
30 years for existing  dwellings  and up to 31 years for the  construction  of a
primary dwelling.

     Commercial  Real  Estate  Lending.   The  Bank  originates   permanent  and
construction  loans on  commercial  real estate.  These loans mainly  consist of
mortgages on investment  properties and properties  utilized by retail and small
service  businesses  such as restaurants,  guest houses and retailers.  The Bank
lends for speculative real estate construction activities on a limited basis and
closely  monitors these loans.  At December 31, 1999,  such loans  accounted for
$3.2 million,  or 1.2%, of the total loan  portfolio  (excluding  loans held for
sale).

     The Bank's current policy limits  commercial  real estate loans  (including
both permanent and construction) to 30% of the total loan portfolio. At December
31, 1999 commercial real estate loans totaled 20.4% of the Bank's loan portfolio
(including loans held for sale) as compared to 20.6% at the end of 1998.
<PAGE>
     During 1998 and 1999 most  commercial real estate loans were granted for up
to 75% of the  appraised  value of the  property.  Most of these  loans were for
terms from 6 months to 20 years at interest rates  adjustable  from one to three
year  periods at the Bank's sole  discretion,  or to a specific  spread over the
prime rate  published  in the Wall Street  Journal.  This policy has enabled the
Bank to adjust the interest rate yield on the commercial  real estate  portfolio
to  compensate  for  changes  in  costs  of  funds,   credit  risk  and  balance
relationships  maintained by the borrowers. The periodic adjustable rate feature
of this  portfolio  can enhance the Bank's  liquidity  by sale of these loans to
participants  when deemed  advisable.  Protection of the Bank's  interest in the
real estate  collateral  is covered by use of title,  fire,  casualty  and flood
insurance in applicable amounts.

     Commercial  real estate  lending may entail  significant  additional  risks
compared to  residential  mortgage  lending.  Loan size typically may be larger.
Payment  experience  on such  loans can be more  easily  influenced  by  adverse
conditions in the economy or in the real estate market.  Construction  financing
involves a higher  degree of risk of loss than long term  financing  on improved
occupied  real  estate.   Property  values  at  completion  of  construction  or
development can be influenced by underestimation of construction costs. The Bank
may be required to advance  funds  beyond the  original  commitment  in order to
finish the development.  If projected cash flows or value of the property proves
to be  inaccurate  because  of  unanticipated  construction  costs or lower than
expected  sales  volume,  the project may have a value that is  insufficient  to
assure full repayment.

     Construction  loans on commercial  properties are extended to  individuals,
unincorporated  small business  borrowers or to their  companies,  partnerships,
trusts or other business entities formed to hold title to the business property.
Such loans are made for  periods up to 21 years with  interest  only  during the
construction  period  (usually nine to twelve  months) and regular  amortization
thereafter.  Funds are  disbursed as  prespecified  stages of  construction  are
completed.

     Commercial  Business  Loans.  The Bank offers a wide variety of  commercial
loan services, including short and long-term business loans, lines of credit and
letters of credit.  The principal market for these loans is small to medium size
businesses in Nantucket.  Most commercial  business loans are written  generally
for terms of 30 to 180 days or under one year as a line of  credit.  Longer-term
commercial  business loans are granted up to five years and are subject to daily
or monthly  rate  adjustments  based on the prime rate as  published in the Wall
Street  Journal.  These interest rate sensitive loans allow the Bank to maintain
an  interest  rate  spread  over its cost of funds.  The  interest  rate paid by
individual  customers  over the base rate is  determined by the lenders and Bank
management  after  consideration of the degree of credit risk, term of the loan,
the borrower's overall  relationships,  the size of the loan and other pertinent
criteria. These loans may be advanced on an unsecured basis or may be secured by
real estate,  inventory or other business assets. Loans to commercial businesses
may  entail  significant  additional  risks  compared  to  residential  mortgage
lending. These loans are subject to changes in the local and regional economy as
well as changes in particular  industries  and lines of business.  Analyzing the
unique  factors  and  risks  affecting  each  business  requires  expertise  and
experience which is different from that needed for loans secured by real estate.
Frequently,  the  arrangement  involves  both  business  services  and  consumer
products, particularly residential real estate loans.
<PAGE>
     Consumer  Lending.  The Bank offers a variety of consumer loans,  including
second  mortgage  loans,  home  equity  loans,  automobile  loans,  secured  and
unsecured  personal loans and boat loans. These loans are made at both fixed and
adjustable  rates of interest.  They vary in terms  depending on the type of the
loan. Second mortgage loans have terms of up to 15 years, and provide for annual
interest rate adjustments,  while other consumer loans have shorter terms and/or
fixed rates of interest.

     Loan  Solicitation and Processing.  Loan originations come from a number of
sources.  Most real estate loans are  attributable  to referrals  from  existing
customers,  real estate  brokers and builders as well as walk-in  customers  and
depositors. Commercial business loan originations are generally obtained through
officer  calls,  existing  customers and business  relationships  and referrals.
Consumer loans generally result from existing depositors.

     Each loan  originated by the Bank is underwritten by personnel of the Bank,
with individual  lending  officers,  a committee of loan officers and the Bank's
Executive  Committee having the authority to approve loans up to various limits.
Independent appraisers are used to appraise the property intended to secure real
estate  loans.  The Bank's  underwriting  criteria  are designed to minimize the
risks of each loan. There are detailed guidelines  concerning the types of loans
that may be made, the nature of the collateral  required,  the information  that
must be obtained  concerning  the loan  applicant and follow-up  inspections  of
collateral after the loan is made.

     Income from Lending  Activities.  Interest rates charged by the Bank on its
loans are determined by market  interest rates,  the Bank's  strategic plans and
goals,  the  availability of funds to lend, the demand for loans and competitive
loan rates offered in its lending area.

     In addition to interest earned on loans, the Bank receives loan origination
fees for originating  real estate loans.  Loan origination fees are a percentage
of the  principal  amount of the loan and are  charged to the  borrower  for the
creation of the loan. Currently,  the Bank generally charges fees of up to 1% on
permanent  residential  mortgage  loans (2% is charged  on  certain  residential
loans),  1/2%  to 1% on  residential  construction  loans  and 1% to 1  1/2%  on
commercial  real estate loans.  For  accounting  purposes,  the Bank defers loan
origination fees net of direct underwriting costs and amortizes the balance over
the life of the  loans.  On loans  written at a  discounted  initial  rate,  net
origination  fees are  amortized  over the  period  of  discount.  The Bank also
receives  other  fees  and  charges  relating  to  loans,   which  include  loan
application  fees,  late payment  charges and fees collected in connection  with
loan  modifications.  These fees and charges do not constitute a material source
of income for the Bank.

Investment Activities
- ---------------------

     Interest  income from short-term  investments  (consisting of federal funds
sold and interest bearing deposits in banks) and securities held to maturity and
available for sale provides an additional  significant  source of income for the
Bank. The Bank's securities  portfolio  consists of United States Government and
agency obligations,  short-term  corporate bonds, notes and debentures and state
and  municipal  obligations  and  mortgage  backed  securities,   collateralized
mortgage  obligations and real estate mortgage investment  conduits  ("REMICS").
From time to time the Bank may invest in mutual  funds or equity  securities  of
various corporations and other issuers. It is the Bank's current policy to limit
to 5% of its investment  portfolio the amount invested in equity  securities and
to avoid concentration of equity investments in any one industry.
<PAGE>
     The Company's primary objective with respect to its securities portfolio is
to provide liquidity and income, consistent with prudent consideration for risk,
maturity and overall  diversification.  The Bank's President and Chief Financial
Officer are generally  charged with executing the Bank's  investment policy on a
daily basis.  They have discretion  generally to buy and sell securities  within
the guidelines of the current plan. All transactions outside of the scope of the
current  plan  must be  discussed  with and  approved  by the  Bank's  Executive
Committee.  All funds not needed to meet the daily  investment  requirements are
invested in either federal funds or money market  instruments.  All transactions
are ratified by the Bank's Board of Directors.

Sources of Funds
- ----------------

     General.  Savings  accounts,  checking accounts and other types of deposits
have  historically  constituted  the  primary  source of funds for the Bank.  In
addition to deposits,  the Bank obtains  funds from FHLB  borrowings,  scheduled
loan repayments,  loan prepayments and loan sales. Scheduled loan repayments are
a relatively  stable source of funds while deposit inflows and outflows and loan
prepayments  vary widely and are  influenced  by prevailing  interest  rates and
general and local  economic  conditions.  Dividends  from the Bank represent the
only source of liquidity for the Company.

     Deposits.  The Bank offers a broad selection of deposit  instruments to the
general public,  including NOW accounts,  regular savings accounts, money market
checking  accounts,  fixed  and  variable  rate  time  accounts,  IRA and  Keogh
retirement accounts and commercial  checking accounts.  In the past the bank has
utilized  brokered  deposits,  however,  at December 31, 1998 and 1999  brokered
deposits  totaled less than 1/2 of 1% of total deposits.  The Bank's  management
determines  the interest  rates offered on deposit  accounts based on the Bank's
strategic plans and goals,  U.S.  Government  treasury rates,  borrowing  rates,
competition, liquidity needs and the expected volatility of existing deposits.

     Borrowings.  The Bank is a member of the FHLB of  Boston.  This  membership
enables the Bank to borrow  from the FHLB,  which  helps  address  the  inherent
problem  on  Nantucket  Island  of a deposit  base  which is unable to fund loan
demand. The Bank also utilizes borrowings to reduce interest rate risk.

 Dividend Policy
 ---------------

     The  Company's  Board of  Directors  reviews the payment of  dividends on a
quarterly basis. Many factors such as earnings, the economy,  quality of assets,
allowance  for loan loss and projected  capital  needs are  reviewed.  After due
consideration,  the  Board  may  vote to pay  either  the same  dividend  as the
previous quarter, or to increase, decrease or omit the dividend.

Subsidiaries of the Bank
- ------------------------

     The  Bank has two  subsidiaries,  N.B.  Securities,  Inc.,  which  has been
classified as a securities  corporation  under the laws of the  Commonwealth  of
Massachusetts  to  take  advantage  of  the  tax  benefits   available  to  such
corporations and N. Realty Corp., which has elected to be taxed as a real estate
investment trust.
<PAGE>
Supervision, Regulation and Operating Powers
- --------------------------------------------

     General.  The Company and the Bank are extensively  regulated under federal
and state law. The Company, as a Delaware corporation,  is subject to regulation
by the Secretary of the State of Delaware and the rights of its stockholders are
governed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

     Federal  Bank  Holding  Company Act  Regulation.  On August 30,  1988,  the
Company became a registered bank holding  company after receiving  approval from
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board System ("FRB"). As a result,
its activities are subject to certain  limitations,  which are described  below,
and  transactions  between the Bank and the Company or its other  affiliates are
also subject to certain restrictions.

     Under the Bank Holding  Company Act, a bank holding company must obtain FRB
approval  before it  acquires  direct or  indirect  ownership  or control of any
voting  shares of any bank if,  after such  acquisition,  it will own or control
directly or indirectly more than 5% of the voting stock of such bank,  unless it
already owns a majority of the voting stock of such bank. FRB approval must also
be obtained before a bank holding company acquires all or  substantially  all of
the  assets  of a bank or merges  or  consolidates  with  another  bank  holding
company. Any acquisition,  directly or indirectly,  by a bank holding company or
its   subsidiaries  of  any  voting  shares  of,  or  interest  in,  or  all  or
substantially  all,  of the assets of any bank  located  outside of the state in
which the  operations of the bank holding  company's  banking  subsidiaries  are
principally  conducted,  may not be  approved  by the FRB unless the laws of the
state in which the bank to be acquired is located specifically,  authorizes such
an acquisition.

     The Bank Holding Company Act and regulations  adopted  thereunder limit the
activities  of a bank holding  company and its  subsidiaries  to the business of
banking or of managing or controlling banks, and to such other activities as the
FRB may determine to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident
thereto. The activities of the Company and its non-bank subsidiaries are subject
to these legal and regulatory limitations under the Bank Holding Company Act and
the FRB's regulations thereunder.

     In addition to the statutory and  regulatory  restrictions  on the non-bank
activities  of the  Company,  the FRB has  taken  the  position  that it has the
authority,  under its general supervisory  authority over bank holding companies
and their  subsidiaries,  to  prevent  activities  of a bank  holding  company's
subsidiaries  that the FRB  regards as unsafe or  unsound,  or to require a bank
holding  company  to  maintain  a  higher  level  of  capital  to  support  such
activities. In this connection, the FRB has expressed serious reservations about
applications by bank holding companies to acquire savings banks that are engaged
directly or through subsidiaries in real estate development activities.

     As a bank  holding  company,  the Company is required to give the FRB prior
written  notice  of  any  purchase  or  redemption  of  its  outstanding  equity
securities  if the gross  consideration  for the  purchase or  redemption,  when
combined with the net  consideration  paid for all such purchases or redemptions
during  the  preceding  12  months,  is  equal  to 10% or more of the  Company's
consolidated  net worth. The FRB may disapprove such a purchase or redemption if
it determines  that the proposal would violate any law,  regulation,  FRB order,
directive, or any condition imposed by, or written agreement with, the FRB.

Financial Modernization

Effective   March  11,   2000,   pursuant  to   authority   granted   under  the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLB Act"), a bank holding company may elect to become a
financial  holding company ("FHC") which may affiliate with securities firms and
insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature.
The GLB Act defines  "financial in nature" to include  securities  underwriting,
dealing and market making;  sponsoring  mutual funds and  investment  companies;
insurance underwriting and agency;  merchant banking activities;  and activities
that the Federal Reserve has determined to be closely related to banking.  Under
the GLB act, a bank  holding  company  may become a FHC by filing a  declaration
with the FRB if each of its  subsidiary  banks  is well  capitalized  under  the
FDICIA prompt corrective action provisions,  is well managed, and has at least a
satisfactory  rating under the Community  Reinvestment  Act of 1977 ("CRA").  No
prior regulatory approval will be required for a FHC to acquire a company, other
than a bank or savings  association,  engaged in activities  permitted under the
GLB Act. Most of the provisions of the GLB Act require the applicable regulators
to adopt  regulations in order to implement these  provisions.  The GLB Act does
not significantly  alter the regulatory  environment under which the Company and
the Bank currently operate, as described above.

Because the legislation is so very new and the changes are radical,  the Company
cannot yet  determine  how it will be affected  by the GLB Act.  The Company has
not, at this time,  made any  decision  with respect to whether it will elect to
become a FHC under the GLB Act.

     Massachusetts Banking Laws and Supervision. Massachusetts chartered savings
banks such as the Bank are regulated and  supervised  by the  Commissioner.  The
Commissioner  is required  to examine  each  state-chartered  bank at least once
every two years.  The approval of the  Commissioner  is required to establish or
close  branches,  merge  with  other  banks,  form a bank  holding  company  and
undertake many other activities.  Massachusetts  statutes and regulations govern
among other things,  investment  powers,  lending  powers,  deposit  activities,
maintenance of surplus and reserve accounts,  the distribution of earnings,  the
payment of  dividends,  issuance  of  capital  stock,  branching,  acquisitions,
mergers, and consolidations.

     Any  Massachusetts  bank  that  does not  operate  in  accordance  with the
regulations,  policies  and  directives  of the  Commissioner  may be subject to
sanctions for non-compliance.  The Commissioner may under certain  circumstances
suspend or remove  trustees,  directors or officers  who have  violated the law,
conducted the bank's  business in a manner which is unsafe,  unsound or contrary
to the  depositors'  interests,  or been  negligent in the  performance of their
duties.

     Deposit  Insurance.  The Bank's  deposit  accounts  are insured by the Bank
Insurance  Fund of the FDIC to a maximum  of  $100,000  per  separately  insured
account,  and  deposits  in excess of that  amount  in each  separately  insured
account are insured by the Depositors Insurance Fund.

     Pursuant to section 7 of the Federal  Deposit  Insurance Act (12 USC 1817),
as amended, the FDIC has incorporated a risk based deposit insurance assessment.
Under this risk based  system,  the  assessment  rate for an insured  depository
depends on the assessment risk determined by the institutions  capital level and
supervisory  evaluations.  Institutions  are  assigned  to one of three  capital
groups - well capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized.

     Any  FDIC-insured  bank which  does not  operate  in  accordance  with FDIC
regulations,  policies and  directives  may be  sanctioned  for  non-compliance.
Proceedings may be instituted  against any FDIC-insured  bank or any director or
trustee,  officer  or  employee  of such bank who  engaged  in unsafe or unsound
practices,  including the violation of applicable laws and regulations. The FDIC
has the authority to terminate  insurance of accounts pursuant to the procedures
established for that purpose or impose civil money penalties.

     All Massachusetts chartered savings banks are required to be members of the
Depositors Insurance Fund ("DIF"). The DIF maintains a private deposit insurance
fund which insures all deposits in member banks which are not covered by federal
insurance,  which,  in the case of the  Bank,  are its  deposits  in  excess  of
$100,000  per insured  account.  In 1999 and 1998,  the Bank's  premium for this
insurance was assessed at an annual rate of 1/50 of 1% of insured deposits.

Competition
- -----------

     The Bank faces  strong  competition  from  other  banks,  mortgage  banking
companies  and  other   financial   service   providers,   many  of  which  have
substantially greater resources than the Bank.

     The Bank's most direct  competition for deposits primarily comes from other
banks  located on Nantucket  Island and in  southeastern  Massachusetts,  credit
unions, mutual funds and government  securities.  The Bank competes for deposits
principally  by  offering  depositors  convenient  branch  hours and  locations,
efficient and attentive service,  a wide variety of deposit programs,  automated
teller machines and competitive interest rates. It does not rely upon any single
individual, group or entity for a material portion of its deposits.
<PAGE>
     Competition  for real  estate  loans  comes  primarily  from  other  banks,
mortgage banking companies and other  institutional  lenders.  The Bank competes
for loan  origination  primarily  based on the efficiency and quality of service
that it  provides as well as the  interest  rates and loan fees that it charges.
The  competition  for loans varies  depending on factors  which  include,  among
others, the general availability of lendable funds and credit, general and local
economic  conditions,  current interest rate levels,  conditions in the mortgage
market and other factors which are not readily predictable.

     In addition to competing  with other savings  banks and financial  services
organizations  based in  Massachusetts,  the Bank  has and is  expected  to face
increased  competition  from major  commercial  banks  headquartered  outside of
Massachusetts as a result of the interstate  banking laws which currently permit
banks  nationwide  to enter  the  Bank's  market  area and  compete  with it for
deposits and loan originations.

Employees
- ---------

     As of December 31, 1999,  the Company and Bank had 68  full-time-equivalent
employees.  None of these  employees is represented  by a collective  bargaining
agreement. The Company believes its employee relations are good.

assets is presented  under the caption "Net  Interest  Income" of  "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the
1999 Annual Report.

Interest  income is reported  on a fully  taxable-equivalent  basis.  Tax-exempt
income is  converted  to a fully  taxable  equivalent  basis by  assuming  a 34%
marginal  federal income tax rate adjusted for applicable state income taxes net
of the related federal tax benefit.  Interest on nonaccrual loans is included in
the analysis of net interest  earnings to the extent that such  interest  income
has been recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

2. Potential Problem Loans.  Potential problem loans consist of certain accruing
loans  that  were  less than 90 days past due at  December  31,  1999,  but were
identified by management of the Bank as potential  problem loans. Such loans are
characterized either by weaknesses in the financial condition of borrowers or by
collateral deficiencies.  Based on historical experience,  the credit quality of
some of these loans may  improve as a result of  collection  efforts,  while the
credit  quality of other  loans may  deteriorate,  resulting  in some  amount of
losses. These loans are not included in the analysis of nonaccrual, past due and
restructured  loans in Section  III.C.1 above.  At December 31, 1999,  potential
problem loans amounted to $598,000.  The Bank's loan policy provides  guidelines
for the review of such loans in order to facilitate collection.
<PAGE>
Depending  on future  events,  these  potential  problem  loans,  and others not
currently identified, could be classified as nonperforming in the future.

3.   Foreign Outstandings.  None

4.   Loan Concentrations.  The Company has no concentration of loans that exceed
     10% of its total  loans  except as  disclosed  by types of loan in  Section
     III.A.

D.   Other Interest-Bearing Assets: None

Item 2.   Description of Property

     The Bank  owns  three  properties  and  leases  two  properties.  The three
properties  owned  consist of the Bank's main office,  one branch  office and an
undeveloped  parcel of land.  The Bank leases  3,300 square feet of office space
and one automated teller facility.

     The Bank's main office is located at 104 Pleasant Street on Nantucket,  and
was  acquired on June 30, 1979.  This 8,500 square foot  facility had a net book
value of $1.1 million at December 31, 1999, including the book value of the land
on which the facility is located.

     The Bank's branch office, located at 2 Orange Street,  Nantucket is a 3,200
square foot facility  which the Bank acquired in 1921,  and had a net book value
of $31,000 at December 31, 1999,  including  the book value of the land on which
the facility is located.

     On August 30, 1995 the Bank purchased a  three-quarter  acre parcel of land
located on Amelia Drive,  Nantucket for $240,000.  The bank is in the process of
constructing  a branch  office on this land.  At December  31, 1999 the Bank had
entered  into a  contract  for  construction  of the  branch  in the  amount  of
$800,000.

     The Bank  believes  that its  properties  are in good  condition  for their
intended use and the fair market value of its  properties  is  significantly  in
excess of the book value of these properties.

     The Bank  leases 16 square feet of space at the main  terminal  building on
Nantucket Island for an automated teller machine facility.  The lease expires on
March 31, 2000.
<PAGE>
     During 1998,  the Bank entered into a  non-cancelable  operating  lease for
1,500 square feet of office space at 9 Bayberry  Court that expires in 2003.  In
July 1999,  the Bank amended the current lease to add 1,816 square feet in which
the term shall commence between January 1 and March 1, 2000 and will also expire
in 2003. This lease contains five one-year renewal options that may be exercised
by the Bank.

     At  December  31,  1999,  the net  book  value of the  Bank's  furnishings,
equipment and autos was $1.4 million.

     For  further  information,  see Note 4 of Notes to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements in the 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

     From time to time, the Bank is involved in legal proceedings  incidental to
its business. None of these actions individually or in the aggregate is believed
to be material to the financial condition of the Bank.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

     No matters were  submitted to a vote of security  holders during the fourth
quarter of the year ended December 31, 1999.

         1999 marks the tenth consecutive year of improving  operating earnings.
Home Port Bancorp,  Inc.  posted record earnings of $5.1 million in this year, a
42.6 percent increase over 1998 net income of $3.6 million.

         Return on Equity (ROE) the company's  primary  measure of  performance,
increased to 19.7  percent  from 15.6 percent in 1998.  Our 1999 ROE places Home
Port in the top 10% of all banks and thrift institutions nationwide. Home Port's
equity to asset ratio edged down from 8.72 percent in 1998 to 8.55 percent, well
within the typical leverage ratios for banks.

         As a consequence of the increased  earnings and after  consideration of
other factors,  the company increased its quarterly  dividends from $.20 to $.25
per share beginning with the third quarter of 1999.

         Financial  stocks have under  performed the S&P 500 index over the last
three  years.  During 1999 bank stocks were  particularly  hard hit with various
bank price indices showing  declines for the year,  despite  improved  earnings.
Home  Port's 1999  trading  range of $21.125 to $27.00 was within the 1998 price
range of $19.125 to $28.75.  The 1999 year end closing share price of $26.25 was
7.14 percent higher that its comparative price a year earlier.

         Investors  in  financial   institutions   remain   concerned  over  the
possibility  of interest rate increases and their  possible  negative  impact on
loan quality.  During 1999, the Federal Reserve Bank increased the federal funds
rate three times by 25 basis points and again in February 2000. The current rate
is 5.75  percent and the Fed is expected to move two or three more times  during
the first half of 2000.  The link between  interest  rates and bank earnings has
been lessened, however in the current environment, investors remain cautious.

         Also,   liquidity   appears  to  be  a  high  priority.   Small  market
capitalization  banks such as Home Port,  with  fundamentals  at least  equal to
those of larger cap banks,  have  discounted  Price/Earning  (P/E) ratios.  Your
company  with a  three-year  average  annualized  ROE of 17.0 percent and annual
earnings  growth of 18.6 percent  receives a P/E ratio of only about ten.  Small
cap financial  stocks have not  participated  in the price  improvement in early
2000 as measured by the Russell 2000 index.

         Over the past three years Nantucket Bank, your company's only operating
subsidiary,  has  increased  its loans by 22.0 percent  annually and deposits by
17.3 percent  annually.  During this period,  28 percent of the loan origination
was sold to other financial institutions,  with the bank retaining $279 million.
The Bank increased its borrowings from the Federal Home Loan bank of Boston from
$32.3  million at year end 1996 to $71.4  million at the end of 1999 to fund its
loan growth.  Deposits have not kept pace with the strong loan demands requiring
loan sales in order to maintain an acceptable  equity to asset ratio. The demand
for mortgage  financing  for second  homes on  Nantucket  cannot be satisfied by
local depositors.

         The decline in the  Interest  Rate Spread from 4.09  percent in 1997 to
3.75 percent in 1998 was reversed in 1999, with the spread  increasing  slightly
to 3.86 percent.

         Home Port has been  favored  with long term strong  national as well as
local Nantucket  economies.  Increased banking activity demanded  improvement to
the Bank's  facilities.  The additions and  modifications to the Pleasant Street
office  mentioned in last year's  message have been completed and the new branch
<PAGE>
office on the corner of Old South Road and Amelia Drive outside the congested in
town  business  area,  has been started with an expected  opening in May of this
year.  Customers will find this location convenient for their banking needs. The
bank has a special  commitment  to provide fast,  efficient  and cost  effective
service to its customers.

         We believe  the  additions  to  facilities,  upgrades  of  systems  and
well-chosen  additions  to the  staff  demonstrate  our  commitment  to  provide
Nantucket with a full range of banking services, second to none.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations

Home Port Bancorp,  Inc. ("the Company")  reported net income of $5.1 million in
1999,  an  increase  of $1.5  million,  or 42.6%,  over 1998 net  income of $3.6
million.  In 1998, net income  increased by $.3 million,  or 7.7% over 1997. Net
income per basic and diluted  share was $2.75 in 1999  compared to $1.93 in 1998
and $1.79 in 1997.  Significant  items  affecting  these periods are reviewed in
detail in the following paragraphs.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income  increased by $1.8 million,  $1.7 million and $.7 million in
1999, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  On a percentage  basis these increases were
17.2%, 18.7% and 9.5%, respectively.

         During  1999  and  1998   Nantucket   Bank  (the  "Bank")   experienced
significant  increases in the average balances of loans (18.5% and 31.2% in 1999
and 1998,  respectively) and interest-bearing  deposits (18.8% and 26.4% in 1999
and 1998,  respectively).  These  increases are responsible for the increases in
net  interest  income  during the past two years.  During 1999 the net  interest
margin  (calculated  on a  tax-equivalent  basis)  decreased  slightly  (4 basis
points)  compared  to 1998.  In 1998 the  margin  decreased  by 32 basis  points
compared to 1997. The tables on the following page provide additional details of
net interest income.

[Graphic - bar chart]

         During 1999 the average yield of the Bank's loan portfolio decreased by
29 basis points to 7.86% from 8.15% in 1998.  In 1998 the average yield on loans
decreased by 67 basis points from 8.82% in 1997.  These decreases were due to an
increase in the percentage of lower-yielding  residential loans in the portfolio
together with the effect of generally  decreasing  market  interest  rates.  The
average  yield on  securities,  adjusted to reflect  tax-exempt  securities on a
fully  tax-equivalent  basis,  was 6.14% in 1999  compared  to 5.89% in 1998 and
1997.  The Bank does not actively  trade the  securities  portfolio.  Securities
classified as "held to maturity" represented 48% of total securities at year end
1999  compared  to 69% at year  end  1998.  Available-for-sale  securities  were
increased  in late 1999 to  enhance  liquidity  in the event of any "Year  2000"
disruptions.

         The average  cost of funds was 3.80% in 1999  compared to 4.14% in 1998
and 4.32% in 1997.  In 1999 the average  cost of deposits  decreased by 34 basis
points to 3.19% from 3.53% in 1998.  In 1997 the average  cost of  deposits  was
3.73%.  The  lower  average  cost of  deposits  in 1999  and  1998 was due to an
increase in NOW checking  accounts,  which  typically bear a lower interest rate
than do certificates of deposit and money market checking accounts.  The cost of
Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings decreased 58 basis points to 5.50% in
1999 from 6.08% in 1998 as a result of the decline in market  rates  during 1997
and 1998.  The cost of borrowings  was 6.21% in 1997.  The following  table sets
forth  certain  information  relating  to the Bank's  interest  earning  assets,
interest  bearing   liabilities  and  net  interest  income,   calculated  on  a
tax-equivalent basis. Short term investments are included in securities and FHLB
stock. Loans include loans held for sale and non-accrual loans. Deposits exclude
non-interest bearing demand accounts.
<PAGE>
Non-Interest Income

Non-interest  income consists of service  charges and fees on deposit  accounts,
fees for  servicing  mortgage  loans and net  gains or  losses  from the sale of
mortgage loans and securities available for sale.

         In 1999 non-interest income increased $436 thousand,  or 38.1%, to $1.6
million  compared to $1.1 million in 1998.  Deposit  servicing fees increased by
$31  thousand,  or 6.8%,  due to  increases  in deposits.  Loan  servicing  fees
increased by $83 thousand or 35.2%, due to an increase in the average balance of
loans serviced for others. Other fees and income increased by $245 thousand,  or
90.4%,  due to an increase  in income  from  automated  teller  machines  and an
increase in fees from the sale of non-insured  alternative  investment products.
Gains from the sale of mortgage loans increased by $129 thousand,  or 99.2%, due
to an increase in loan sales and a falling interest rate environment.

         In 1998 non-interest income increased $137 thousand,  or 13.6%, to $1.1
million  compared to $1.0 million in

1997.  Deposit  servicing  fees  increased  by $30  thousand,  or 7.06%,  due to
increases in deposits.  Loan  servicing  fees decreased by $22 thousand or 8.5%,
due to a decrease  in the  average  balance of loans  serviced  for others and a
decrease in the average  servicing fee.  Other fees and income  increased by $56
thousand,  or 26.0%, due to an increase in income from automated teller machines
and an  increase  in fees from the sale of  non-insured  alternative  investment
products.  Gains from the sale of mortgage loans  increased by $43 thousand,  or
49.4%, due to an increase in loan sales and a falling interest rate environment.

Non-Interest Expense

In 1999 non-interest expense decreased 1.4% to $6.1 million from $6.2 million in
1998.  In 1998,  non-interest  expense  was  impacted  by a net  charge  of $414
thousand due to a  "check-kiting"  scheme.  In 1999 partial  restitution  of $35
thousand  was  received.  For  additional  information  see Note 9 in  "Notes to
Consolidated   Financial   Statements."   Also  in  1998  the  Company  incurred
organizational  and legal  expenses  of $511  thousand in  conjunction  with the
formation of N. Realty  Corp.  (a  subsidiary  which has elected to be taxed for
state tax purposes as a real estate investment  trust).  Excluding the effect of
both  of  these  non-recurring  costs  (the  "check-kiting"  situation  and  the
formation of N. Realty Corp.)  non-interest  expense increased by $875 thousand,
or 16.7%. This increase was due to staffing,  computer  processing,  postage and
other costs to service the additional loan and deposit business in 1999.

         In 1998 non-interest  expense increased 42.0% to $6.2 million from $4.3
million in 1997. Excluding the effect of the non-recurring "check-kiting" and N.
Realty Corp. costs,  non-interest  expense increased by $897 thousand,  or 20.6%
from $4.3 million in 1997. The remaining increases are due to staffing, computer
processing,  postage and other costs to service the additional  loan and deposit
business in 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  is  subject  to a
Massachusetts  income tax. The Bank's subsidiary is subject to Massachusetts tax
as a security corporation.

         The effective tax rate in 1999 was 34.5%  compared to 34.8% in 1998 and
39.6% in 1997. The lower  effective tax rates in 1999 and 1998 are reflective of
the proportion of income earned by certain non-bank subsidiaries that are taxed,
for  state tax  purposes,  at lower  rates.  In 1999 and 1998  more  income  was
generated  through  non-bank  subsidiaries  as  compared  to 1997.  For  further
information see Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk

Market  risk is the risk of loss from  changes in market  prices and rates.  The
Bank's market risk arises  primarily from the interest rate risk inherent in its
lending  and  deposit  taking   activities.   Managing  interest  rate  risk  is
fundamental to banking.

         The Bank's earnings are largely  dependent on its net interest  income,
which is the difference between the yield on its interest-earning assets and the
cost of its interest-bearing liabilities. It is the Bank's objective to minimize
the  adverse  impact of changes  in  interest  rates on the Bank's net  interest
income, to the degree prudently possible. However, because the Bank's assets and
liabilities are  predominately  interest  bearing,  it will always be exposed to
interest rate risk.
<PAGE>
         The Bank's interest rate risk management is the  responsibility  of the
Asset/Liability   Committee  ("ALCO").  ALCO  establishes  policies,  which  are
approved  by the Board of  Directors,  that  monitor and  coordinate  the Bank's
sources,  uses and pricing of funds.  The primary  tool used by ALCO in managing
interest rate risk is income simulation  modeling.  Income  simulation  modeling
measures changes in net interest income by projecting the future  composition of
the  Bank's  balance  sheet and  applying  different  interest  rate  scenarios.
Management  incorporates  numerous estimates and assumptions into the simulation
model, including the nature and timing of interest rate levels,  including yield
curve shape, loan and security prepayments,  reinvestment of cash flows and loan
and deposit growth rates.

         ALCO manages net interest  income based on it's "most likely"  interest
rate  scenario,  and it also utilizes  "Rate shocks" to quantify the exposure of
net interest income to large,  sustained rate changes.  These rate shocks assume
an  immediate  and  sustained  change in interest  rates across the entire yield
curve.  Two rate shock scenarios are

6
<PAGE>
currently  utilized:  an increase in market  interest  rates of 300 basis points
(bp) and a decrease of 200 bp. Over the first 24 months following the shock, net
interest  income would  decline by 9.03% in the 300 bp increase  scenario and by
3.17% in the 200 bp decrease  scenario.  The projected  results under these rate
shocks should not be relied upon as indicative  of expected  operating  results.
Although the  estimates  and  assumptions  used are based on current  market and
economic  conditions,  actual results will differ from these estimates.  Such an
immediate and sustained change in interest rates is highly unlikely and is not a
scenario that would warrant current action by management.  These  projections do
not  incorporate any actions that ALCO may take in responding to or anticipating
changes in interest  rates.  Customer  preferences,  competitive  offerings  and
regulatory changes will impact future results.

         The  following  table  presents  interest  rate  sensitive  assets  and
liabilities categorized by expected maturity and weighted average rate. Expected
maturities  are  contracted  maturities,  adjusted for  prepayments of principal
where applicable.  The market risk analysis excludes  repricing  features on all
interest sensitive assets and liabilities.  The Bank uses certain assumptions to
estimate expected  maturities and fair values.  Non-certificate  deposits do not
have contractual  maturities and, hence, are presented in the one-year category.
The prepayment  experience reflected herein is based on market consensus.  Other
real  estate  loans  include  commercial   mortgages  and  other  loans  include
commercial and consumer loans.  Market risk sensitive  instruments are generally
defined as on and off balance sheet derivatives and other financial instruments.
The Bank has not entered into any interest  rate  exchange  agreements  or other
off-balance sheet derivatives.

Balance Sheet Analysis

During 1999 the Company's total assets increased by $43.7 million,  or 15.9%, to
$319.3  million  from $275.6  million at December 31, 1998 due to an increase in
the Bank's core lending and deposit business. These core business increases also
caused a $66.8 million, or 32.0%,  increase in the Company's assets in 1998. The
following  paragraphs discuss the significant changes in the major balance sheet
categories during these years.

Loans

Loans,  net of the allowance for loan losses and excluding  loans held for sale,
increased by $44.4 million, or 20.8% at December 31, 1999 to $258.3 million from
$213.9 million at December 31, 1998. During 1998, loans increased $50.2 million,
or 30.6%, from $163.7 million the previous year. The loan portfolio  represented
80.9% of total  assets at December  31, 1999  compared to 77.6% at December  31,
1998 and 78.4% at December 31, 1997.  Real estate loan  originations,  including
<PAGE>
both commercial and residential properties, were $152.8 million in 1999 compared
to $153.7 million in 1998 and $81.7 million in 1997. The  significant  increases
in 1999 and 1998  were due to a  combination  of a record  level of real  estate
sales in Nantucket,  low interest rates and the Bank's marketing efforts. During
1999, permanent  residential mortgages (excluding loans held for sale) increased
by $35.6 million,  or 29.6%,  to $155.8 million at December 31, 1999 from $120.2
million at December 31, 1998. In 1998,  these loans  increased by $26.2 million,
or 27.9%,  from $94.0  million at December  31, 1997.  Residential  construction
loans increased by $1.8 million to $34.3 million at December 31, 1999 from $32.5
million a year  earlier,  and $17.1 at December  31,1997.  At December  31, 1999
residential  permanent and  construction  loans comprise 78.1% of total mortgage
loans  compared to 76.1% and 74.1% at December 31, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.
The proportion of residential  loans reflects the  residential  character of the
Bank's market area.

         During 1999,  commercial  mortgage loans outstanding  increased by $8.0
million,  or 19.0%,  to $50.3  million as  compared  to $42.3  million and $36.1
million at December  31, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  Commercial  construction
loans  decreased to $3.0  million at December 31, 1999  compared to $5.8 million
and $2.7 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  The increases in
commercial mortgage loans are the

                                                                               9
<PAGE>
result of favorable business and economic  conditions in Nantucket over the past
several years,  offset by an increase in  competition  for these types of loans.
Real estate loans sold in the  secondary  market  totaled  $51.5 million in 1999
compared  to $39.3  million in 1998 and $18.5  million in 1997.  Currently,  the
Bank's policy is to sell a majority of its  longer-term  (greater than 10 years)
fixed-rate  loans and a portion of its adjustable rate loans. The Bank generally
retains a small  percentage  of the principal  balance of adjustable  rate loans
that are sold. The ALCO reviews this policy from time to time as part of overall
asset/liability management strategy.

         At December 31, 1999,  the Bank had $5.0 million of loans held for sale
in the secondary market, compared to $16.0 million at year-end 1998. These loans
are  carried  at the  lower of cost or  market  value  which  is  based  upon an
estimation  of  outstanding  investor  commitments  or, in the  absence  of such
commitments, current investor yield requirements. At December 31, 1999 and 1998,
the market  value was  greater  than the book value of these  loans,  therefore,
there was no provision for unrealized loss.  However,  changes in interest rates
may  affect  the  market  value of loans  held  for sale and may  impact  future
earnings.

Securities

Total  securities  increased by $6.4 million,  or 24.9%, at December 31, 1999 to
$32.3 million from $25.9 million in the prior year and $22.9 million at December
31,  1997.  Approximately  $5  million  of the 1999  increase  was the result of
additional liquid securities purchased because of the "Year 2000" concerns.  The
Company does not actively trade the securities portfolio;  a significant portion
of the  portfolio  (48% at December 31, 1999) is classified as held to maturity.
At December 31, 1999 total securities represented 10.1% of total assets compared
to 9.4% for 1998 and 11.0% for 1997.

Deposits

Total deposits increased $29.5 million, or 15.7%, in 1999 to $218.2 million from
$188.7  million at December 31, 1998.  In 1998 total  deposits  increased  $46.2
million,  or  32.5%,  from  $142.4  million  at  December  31,  1997.  The  Bank
experienced strong deposit growth in 1999 and 1998 due to a strong local economy
together  with the Bank's  marketing  efforts.  During  1999,  the  increase  in
deposits  was split  between  NOW/demand  checking,  money  market  checking and
certificates of deposit.  During 1998 approximately  one-half of the increase in
deposits was in NOW/demand deposit checking accounts.

         Over the past several years the Bank has reduced it's reliance on funds
obtained  through  national  brokerage  networks.  These funds had been obtained
primarily to compensate for some of the seasonal  outflow of deposits;  however,
the Bank now utilizes borrowings from the FHLB to meet seasonal liquidity needs.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998 fully insured brokered  deposits totaled less than
one-half of 1% of total deposits.

10
<PAGE>
Borrowed Funds

Borrowed  funds consist of FHLB advances  with final  maturities  ranging from 3
months to 10 years.  These borrowings totaled $71.4 million at December 31, 1999
and $58.9 million at December 31, 1998.  Borrowings  have been used to fund loan
demand, to meet short term and seasonal  liquidity  demands,  to reduce interest
rate risk and to utilize capital resources.  The Bank's goals include minimizing
the need for  borrowings  by  increasing  core  deposits,  however,  there is no
assurance that this can be accomplished.

<PAGE>
         At  December  31,  1999 and 1998  the  Bank  had no  loans  which  were
considered impaired.

         At the end of 1999  management  identified  $598 thousand of additional
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.

         Accrual of interest on loans is  discontinued  either when doubt exists
as to the timely  collection  of interest or  principal  or when a loan  becomes
contractually past due by 90 days with respect to interest or principal, and the
collateral  value is not  sufficient  to ensure the payment in full of principal
and  interest.  When a loan  is  placed  on  non-accrual  status,  all  interest
previously  accrued but not  collected is charged  against  current year income.
When  collection  procedures do not bring the loan to a performing  status,  the
Bank  generally  institutes  action to foreclose upon the property or to acquire
the property by deed in lieu of foreclosure.

Provision for Loan Losses

Loan loss  reserves  are  established  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles and based upon a systematic and detailed  analysis of all
loans.  The Bank  regularly  evaluates  the adequacy of the  allowance  for loan
losses.  Key  criteria  considered  include  known  and  inherent  risks  in the
portfolio,  past loan  loss  experience  and loan  delinquency  trends,  adverse
situations that may affect the borrower's  ability to repay, the estimated value
of collateral  securing loans in the portfolio and current economic  conditions.
The Bank's lending  activities are conducted  solely on the island of Nantucket,
Massachusetts. During 1999 the Bank recorded a provision for loan losses of $200
thousand, compared to $150 thousand in 1998 and 1997. The Bank also recorded net
recoveries of $611  thousand in 1999,  $386 thousand in 1998 and $94 thousand in
1997. The loan loss  provisions made over the past two years are a result of the
growth in the Bank's loan portfolio. At December 31, 1999 the allowance for loan
losses was $4.0 million,  or 1.50% of total loans  compared to $3.1 million,  or
1.37% of total loans,  at December 31, 1998. The Bank believes its current level
of loan loss reserves to be adequate.  Any unforeseen future economic  problems,
however,  may lead to  additional  delinquencies  which may  require  additional
provisions for loan losses.  The Bank was last examined by the Division of Banks
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as of June 30, 1999.

Capital

Stockholders'  equity totaled $27.3 million,  or 8.6%, of assets on December 31,
1999  compared to $24.0  million,  or 8.7% of assets,  at December  31, 1998 and
$21.9  million,  or 10.51% of assets,  at December 31, 1997. The decrease in the
capital  ratio  between  1997 and 1998 was the result of the 32% growth in total
assets  during this year.  Regular  quarterly  dividends of $1.6  million,  $1.5
million $1.5 million were  declared in 1999,  1998 and 1997,  respectively.  Net
earnings of $5.1 million in 1999,  $3.6 million in 1998 and $3.3 million in 1997
were added to capital.

         On September 29, 1998 the Company announced a share repurchase  program
whereby it may purchase up to 5% (92,100  shares) of its  currently  outstanding
common  stock.  The shares are to be  purchased  in the open market from time to
time or in directly  negotiated  purchases.  This repurchase program remained in
effect  through March 31, 1999.  The Company did not repurchase any shares under
this program.
<PAGE>
         The Bank is an FDIC insured  institution subject to the FDIC regulatory
capital requirements. The FDIC regulations require all FDIC insured institutions
to maintain  minimum levels of Tier 1 capital.  Highly rated banks (i.e.,  those
with a composite  rating of 1 under the CAMEL  rating  system)  are  required to
maintain  Tier 1 capital of at least 3% of their total  assets.  All other banks
are  required  to have Tier 1 capital  of 4% to 5%.  The FDIC has  authority  to
impose higher  requirements  for  individual  banks.  At December 31, 1999,  the
Bank's capital ratios were in excess of these capital requirements. The Company,
as a bank holding company,  is also subject to regulatory capital  requirements,
including the Tier 1 capital levels  described  above.  At December 31, 1999 the
Company's capital ratios were in excess of these capital requirements.

         For  further  information,  see Note 11 in the  Notes  to  Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Liquidity

Liquidity is the measure of a company's ability to generate sufficient cash flow
to meet  present  and  future  funding  obligations.  Dividends  from  the  Bank
represent  the only  source of  liquidity  for the  Parent  Company.  The Bank's
sources of liquidity are customer  deposits,  amortization  and  prepayments  on
loans,  advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, sale of loans in the secondary
market and  maturities  and sales of  securities.  As a member of the Depositors
Insurance Fund ("DIF") the Bank also has

12
<PAGE>
a right to borrow  from the DIF 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 its current and future  needs.  The Bank  believes  that it has  sufficient
resources to meet its funding commitments.

         Firm  commitments  to grant loans at December  31, 1999  totaled  $11.9
million, unused lines of credit equaled $13.4 million, the unadvanced portion of
construction  loans  equaled  $11.4  million  and  stand-by  letters  of  credit
outstanding  aggregated  $.3  million.  The Bank  believes  that it has adequate
sources of liquidity to fund such commitments.

Recent Accounting Developments

In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial
Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging
Activities".  This statement establishes  accounting and reporting standards for
derivative  instruments,  including certain derivative  instruments  embedded in
other  contracts,  (collectively  referred  to as  derivatives)  and for hedging
activities.  It requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets
or  liabilities  in balance sheet and measure those  instruments  at fair market
value. Under this statement,  an entity that elects to apply hedge accounting is
required to establish  at the  inception of the hedge the method it will use for
assessing  the  effectiveness  of the  hedging  derivative  and the  measurement
approach for determining  the ineffective  aspect of the hedge. In June 1999 the
FASB issued  Statement No. 137 which defers the effective  date of Statement No.
133.  Statement No. 133 is now  effective for all fiscal  quarters of all fiscal
years  beginning  after June 15, 2000.  This statement is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Year 2000

The  statements  in  the  following   section   include  "Year  2000"  readiness
disclosure"  within the  meaning  of the Year 2000  information  and  Readinesss
Disclosure Act.

During 1999, the Compapy completed a detailed  assessment of all its information
technology (IT) and non-information  technology (non-IT) systems with respect to
the century date change (the transition from the year 1999 to 2000) with special
emphasis on  mission-critical  systems. IT and non-IT hardware and software were
inventorized  and those not Year  2000  ready  were  identified  remediated  and
tested.  While the  Company's  assessment  of Year 2000  issues is  ongoing  and
subject to on-going  regulatory  mandated  verification and review through March
31, 2000, the Company has not yet experienced any effects from Year 2000 issues.

The Company and the Bank incurred Year 2000-related charges of approximately $55
thousand  and $45  thousand,  respectively,  in 1999  and  1998.  These  charges
principally  consist of consulting  fees and  depreciation  expense  incurred in
order for the Bank's computer systems to properly  function properly in the year
2000.  These amounts do not include internal costs for staff assigned to the Y2K
project team and Bank personnel  assigned to testing the changes  resulting from
Y2K efforts. These costs are not being tracked separately.

There can be no  guarantee  that the  systems  of other  companies,  or  outside
vendors,  on which  the  Company's  systems  rely,  have  been  fully  remedied.
Therefore, the Company could possibly experience a negative impact to the extent
other entities not affiliated with the Company are not Year 2000 compliant.

The risk management program includes emergency backup and recovery procedures to
be  followed  in the  event of  failure  of a  business-critical  system.  These
procedures were expanded to include specific  procedures for potential Year 2000
issues,   and   contingency   plans  to  protect   against   Year   2000-related
interruptions.  These plans include  backup  procedures  and  identification  of
alternative suppliers.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business

Home Port Bancorp,  Inc. (the  "Company")  is a one-bank  holding  company which
holds all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Nantucket Bank
(the "Bank"), a state chartered savings bank located on the island of Nantucket,
Massachusetts.  The Bank provides a full range of banking services to individual
and corporate  customers in Nantucket and is subject to  competition  from other
providers of financial services.  The Bank is subject to the regulations of, and
periodic examinations by, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and
the  Massachusetts  Division of Banks. The Company is subject to the regulations
of, and periodic  examinations by, the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank's deposits
are insured by the Bank  Insurance  Fund of the FDIC up to $100,000  per account
and the Depositors Insurance Fund for deposits in excess of $100,000.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Home
Port Bancorp,  Inc., its wholly owned  subsidiary  Nantucket Bank, and N. Realty
Corp. and N.B.  Securities,  Inc., which are wholly owned by Nantucket Bank. The
Company has one  reportable  operating  segment.  All  significant  intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         The  financial   statements  have  been  prepared  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements,
management  is  required  to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect the
reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet
and income and expenses  for the year.  Actual  results  could differ from those
estimates.

         Material estimate that is particularly susceptible to change relates to
the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

Statement of Cash Flows

Cash and cash  equivalents  are  defined  to  include  cash and due from  banks,
interest-bearing deposits in banks and federal funds sold. Short-term borrowings
are defined as borrowings having an original maturity of three months or less.

Securities

Securities  that the  Company  has the  positive  intent and  ability to hold to
maturity  are  classified  as  securities  held to maturity  and are reported at
amortized cost.  Securities that are held for indefinite periods of time and not
intended to be held to maturity and marketable  equity securities are classified
as available for sale and are reported at aggregate market value with unrealized
gains or losses  excluded from earnings and reported as a separate  component of
<PAGE>
stockholders'  equity,  net of  income  taxes.  Interest  and  dividend  income,
including  amortization  of  premiums  and  accretion  of  discounts,  for  both
available  for sale and held to maturity  securities  is accrued and included in
interest  income.  Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted on a method
which approximates the level-yield  method, and are included in interest income.
The  specific  identification  method is used to  determine  realized  gains and
losses on securities available for sale.

         If a security  suffers a loss in value which is  considered  other than
temporary,  the cost basis of the  security  is written  down to fair value by a
charge to earnings.

Loans

Loans  receivable  that  management  has the intent and  ability to hold for the
foreseeable   future  or  until  maturity  or  pay-off  are  reported  at  their
outstanding principal balance,  adjusted for any charge-offs,  the allowance for
loan losses and deferred fees or costs on originated loans.  Loans are placed on
non-accrual status and are considered non-performing either when doubt exists as
to the full and  timely  collection  of  interest  or  principal  or when a loan
becomes contractually past due 90 days with respect to interest or principal and
the  collateral  value  is not  sufficient  to  insure  the  payment  in full of
principal and interest. When interest accrual is discontinued all unpaid accrued
interest is reversed.  Interest accruals are resumed on such loans when they are
brought current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment
of  management,  the  loans are  estimated  to be fully  collectible  as to both
principal and interest.  Interest  income on non-accrual  loans is recorded on a
cash basis.

         The Bank  accounts for impaired  loans,  except loans  accounted for at
fair  value or at the lower  cost or fair  value,  at the  present  value of the
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's  effective  interest rate or
the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral

dependent.  Impaired  loans  include  commercial,  commercial  real  estate  and
individually significant mortgage or consumer loans for which it is probable the
Bank  will not  collect  all  amounts  due  according  to the  terms of the loan
agreement.  Impairment on troubled  debt  restructurings  is measured  using the
premodification rate of interest.

         Loan origination  fees, net of certain direct loan  origination  costs,
are considered  yield  adjustments  and amortized into interest  income over the
loan term by use of the interest  method.  When loans are sold in the  secondary
market,  the remaining balance of the amount deferred is included in gain (loss)
on sale of loans.

Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage  loans  intended  for sale in the  secondary  market are carried at the
lower of aggregate net loan balance or market  value.  Market value is estimated
based  upon  outstanding  investor  commitments  or,  in  the  absence  of  such
commitments, based on current investor yield requirements. Net unrealized losses
are provided for in a valuation allowance by charges to operations.

         Gains  and  losses  on loan  sales are  determined  using the  specific
identification  method.  Interest  income  on loans  held  for  sale is  accrued
currently and classified as interest income on loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses

         The  allowance  for loan losses is available  for future  credit losses
inherent in the portfolio.  The allowance is increased by provisions  charged to
operations  and  recoveries of prior losses,  and decreased by realized  losses.
Management's  periodic  evaluation  of the  adequacy of the  allowance  for loan
losses is based on known and  inherent  risks in the  portfolio,  past loan loss
experience and loan delinquency  trends,  adverse situations that may affect the
borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of collateral securing loans in
the portfolio and current economic conditions.

         While management uses current available information in establishing the
allowance,  future  adjustments  to the  allowance  may be necessary if economic
conditions  differ  substantially  from  the  assumptions  used  in  making  the
evaluation.  In addition,  various regulatory  agencies,  as an integral part of
their  examination  process,  periodically  review the Bank's allowance for loan
losses.  Such  agencies  may  require  the Bank to  recognize  additions  to the
allowance based on judgments different from those of management.

Land, Building, and Equipment

         Land is stated at cost. Building and equipment are stated at cost, less
allowances  for  depreciation  computed  on the  straight-line  method  over the
estimated  useful lives of the respective  assets.  The cost of maintenance  and
repairs is charged to income as incurred.

Income Taxes

         Income taxes are accounted  for under the asset and  liability  method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the temporary differences
between  the  accounting  basis  and the tax  basis  of the  Bank's  assets  and
liabilities  at enacted  tax rates  expected  to be in effect  when the  amounts
related to such  temporary  differences  are  realized  or  settled.  The Bank's
deferred tax asset is reviewed and  adjustments to such assets are recognized as
deferred income tax expense or benefit based upon management's judgment relating
to the realizability of such asset.

Employee Benefit Plans

The Bank  accounts  for pension  benefits  using the net  periodic  pension cost
method,  which recognizes the compensation cost of an employee's pension benefit
over that employee's approximate service period.

Stock Option Plan

The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board has issued  Statement  of Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 123,  Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation  ("SFAS
123"). The Statement encourages,  but does not require, companies to adopt a new
accounting  method based on the estimated  fair value of employee  stock options
and other stock  awards under which  compensation  cost is measured at the grant
date based on the value of the award and is recognized  over the service period.
The Company has elected to adopt the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 but
to apply APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting  for stock  options.  Accordingly,  no
compensation expense has been recognized in the financial statements.

Earnings per Share

         Earnings per share requires dual  presentation of basic and diluted EPS
on the face of the  income  statement  for all  entities  with  complex  capital
structures and requires a  reconciliation  of the numerators and denominators of
the

                                                                              19

basic and diluted EPS computations.  The only reconciling difference between the
Company's  computation  of basic and diluted  earnings per share is the dilutive
effect of stock options issued and unexercised  (see Note 11 for stock options).
At December 31, 1999 and 1998 there were no dilutive stock options.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive  income is defined as all changes to equity except investments by,
and distrubutions to,  shareholders.  Net income is a component of comprehensive
income,  with  all  other  components  referred  to in the  aggregate  as  other
comprehensive  income.  The  following  table  shows  the  components  of  other
comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997.

         The Bank's lending  activities are conducted  solely in Nantucket.  The
Bank grants single family and multi-family  residential loans,  commercial loans
and a  variety  of  consumer  loans.  In  addition,  the Bank  grants  loans for
construction  of residential  homes,  multi-family  properties,  commercial real
estate properties and for land  development.  Most loans granted by the Bank are
collateralized by real estate.  The ability and willingness of the single family
residential  and consumer  borrowers  to honor their  repayment  commitments  is
generally  impacted  by the  level  of  overall  economic  activity  within  the
borrower's  geographic area and real estate values.  The ability and willingness
of commercial real estate,  commercial and construction  loan borrowers to honor
their  repayment  commitments  is  generally  impacted by the health of the real
estate  economic  sector in the  borrower's  geographic  areas  and the  general
economy.  Loans serviced for other investors  amounted to $100.9 million,  $67.7
million and $67.1  million at December  31, 1999,  1998 and 1997,  respectively.
Service fees earned on these loans amounted to $319,000,  $236,000 and $258,000,
respectively, in 1999, 1998 and 1997.

         In the ordinary  course of business,  the Bank makes loans to directors
and  executive  officers,  including  their  immediate  families  and  companies
(related  party  loans) with which they are  affiliated.  Such loans,  which are
substantially  on the same terms,  including  interest rate and  collateral,  as
those  prevailing at the time of origination  for comparable  transactions  with
other borrowers,  did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or
present other unfavorable features.

Set forth  below is an  analysis of such  related  party loans  during the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998:

         Borrowings  from the  Federal  Home Loan Bank of  Boston  ("FHLB")  are
secured by the Bank's  stock in the FHLB of Boston and a blanket lien on certain
"qualified  collateral"  defined  principally as 90% of the market value of U.S.
Government  and federal  agency  obligations  and 75% of the  carrying  value of
certain residential  mortgage loans. Unused borrowings with the FHLB at December
31, 1999 were $69.0 million.  At December 31, 1999 advances  totaling $9 million
can be called at a date or dates prior to their contractual maturity.
<PAGE>
         As a member of the FHLB,  the Bank is  required to invest in the common
stock of the FHLB in the amount of one percent of its outstanding  loans secured
by residential  housing, or three tenths of one percent of total assets, or five
percent of its outstanding  advances from the FHLB, whichever is highest. As and
when such  stock is  redeemed,  the Bank would  receive  from the FHLB an amount
equal to the par value of the stock.  As of  December  31,  1999 the Bank's FHLB
stock  holdings  were $4.8  million.  The  Bank's  investment  in FHLB  stock is
recorded at cost.

Realization of the Company's deferred tax asset is supported by its tax history.
Management believes the existing net deductible temporary  differences that give
rise to the net  deferred  income tax asset will  reverse in periods the Company
generates net taxable income.

         The Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis are subject to
Federal income tax. The Bank is subject to a Massachusetts  income tax at a rate
of 10.50%. One of the Bank's  subsidiaries,  N.B.  Securities,  is an investment
company  that  has  been  classified  as  a  securities  corporation  under  the
provisions  of the General  Laws of  Massachusetts  and, as such,  is subject to
state tax at a rate of 1.32% of gross receipts. The Bank's other subsidiary,  N.
Realty Corp.,  intends to elect to be taxed as a real estate  investment  trust.
The Company is a bank holding  company that has been  classified as a securities
corporation  under the provisions of the General Laws of  Massachusetts  and, as
such, is subject to a state tax at a rate of 0.33% of gross receipts.

         The pre-1988 bad debt reserves  continue to be subject to provisions of
present law that require  recapture in the case of certain excess  distributions
to  shareholders.  The tax  effect of  pre-1988  bad debt  reserves  subject  to
recapture in the case of certain  excess  distributions  is  approximately  $1.2
million.

(8)      Employee Benefit Plans

Pension Plan

The Bank provides pension benefits for its employees  through  membership in the
Savings Bank Employee Retirement Association, a noncontributory, defined benefit
plan.  Bank employees  become  eligible  after  attaining age 21 and one year of
service.  The Plan  provides  for  benefits to be paid to eligible  employees at
retirement  based  primarily  upon  their  years  of  service  with the Bank and
compensation levels near retirement.  The Bank makes annual contributions to the
Plan equal to the maximum amount that can be deducted for income tax purposes.

         The  following  tables  set  forth  information  on  the  Plan  benefit
obligations,  plan assets and funded status for the plan years ended October 31,
1999 and 1998 and assumptions and periodic benefit cost for the plan years ended
October 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997:

Deferred Compensation Agreements

The Company has entered into deferred  compensation  agreements  with an officer
and a former  officer,  and has purchased life  insurance  policies to cover the
unfunded liability of the deferred compensation agreements.  The expense related
to these agreements was $18,000 in 1999 and $70,000 in 1998.

(9)      Loss on "Check-Kiting"

In March 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  "check-kiting"  scheme  caused an  overdraft of
$518,000 and resulted in a charge of $560,000,  which included  estimated  legal
and other  collection  expenses.  Later in 1998  Nantucket  Bank  entered into a
settlement  agreement  with the customer  pursuant to which the Bank  received a
promissory note of $447,000,  partially secured by a second mortgage on property
owned by the customer. The Bank received cash recoveries of $ 35,000 in 1999 and
$146,000  in 1998.  Under  the  terms of the  promissory  note the  customer  is
required to make monthly payments  beginning May 1, 1999 and continuing  through
October 1, 2018.  Proceeds from the promissory note will be recognized on a cash
basis.

(10)     Commitments and Financial Instruments with
                  Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Bank is party to financial  instruments with  off-balance  sheet risk in the
normal  course of business to meet the  financing  needs of its customers and to
reduce  its  exposure  to  fluctuations  in  interest  rates.   These  financial
instruments  include commitments to originate and sell loans and standby letters
of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees,  elements of credit risk
and interest rate risk in excess of the amount  recognized  in the  consolidated
balance sheets.  The contract or notional amounts of those  instruments  reflect
the  extent of  involvement  the Bank has in  particular  classes  of  financial
instruments.

         The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of  non-performance  by
the other party to the financial  instrument for loan commitments,  unused lines
of credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount
of  those  instruments.  The  Bank  uses  the same  credit  policies  in  making
commitments  and  conditional  obligations  as  it  does  for  on-balance  sheet
instruments.  For commitments to sell loans the contract or notional  amounts do
not  represent  exposure  to  credit  loss.  The Bank  controls  credit  risk on
commitments to sell through credit approval, limits and monitoring procedures.

         Financial  instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are
as follows:

         Commitments  to  originate   loans  and  unused  lines  of  credit  are
agreements to lend to a customer provided there is no violation of any condition
established in the contract.  Commitments  generally have fixed expiration dates
or other  termination  clauses  and may require  payment  for a fee.  Since many
commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily  represent  future  cash  requirements.   The  Bank  evaluates  each
customer's  creditworthiness  on a case-by-case  basis. The amount of collateral
obtained,  if deemed  necessary by the Bank upon  extension of credit,  is based
upon management's credit evaluation of the borrower.  Stand-by letters of credit
are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance by a
customer  to a third  party.  The credit  risk in  issuing  letters of credit is
essentially the same as involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

         On May 1, 1998 the  Company  entered  into a new  Consulting  Agreement
("Agreement") with the Chairman of the Board of Directors ("Chairman"), who also
holds the titles of  President  and Chief  Executive  Officer.  The terms of the
Agreement  stipulate that the Chairman shall provide consulting  services to the
Company in his capacity as President,  Chief  Executive  Officer and Chairman of
the Board of Directors for a three year term  commencing  May 1, 1998 and ending
on April 30,  2001.  The  Chairman  shall  receive an annual  consulting  fee of
$120,000 and an annual  reimbursement of $12,000 for office  expenses.  The term
shall  automatically be extended for a one-year period beyond the then effective
expiration  date on May 1 of each  year  commencing  on May 1, 1999  unless  the
Company  notifies the Chairman of its intention  not to continue the  Agreement.
The Board of  Directors  may  terminate  this  Agreement  at any time for cause.
Should certain events  constituting a change in control

                                                                              29

aggregate  amount  payable  under the  Agreement  had he  continued  to  provide
services for the remainder of the term of the Agreement.

Capital requirements

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital  requirements
administered  by the federal banking  agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements   can  initiate   certain   mandatory,   and  possibly   additional
discretionary,  actions by regulators  that, if undertaken,  could have a direct
material effect on the Company's  financial  statements.  Under capital adequacy
guidelines  and the  regulatory  framework  for prompt  corrective  action,  the
Company  and the  Bank  must  meet  specific  capital  guidelines  that  involve
quantitative   measures  of  the  Bank's   assets,   liabilities,   and  certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The
Company's and the Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to
qualitative judgments by the regulators about components,  risk weightings,  and
other factors.

         Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation  to ensure  capital
adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios
(set forth in the table  below) of total and Tier I capital  (as  defined in the
regulations)  to risk weighted  assets (as  defined),  and of Tier I capital (as
defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31,
1999,  that the Company and the Bank meet all capital  adequacy  requirements to
which they are subject.

         As of December 31,  1999,  the most recent  notification  from the FDIC
categorized  the Bank as well  capitalized  under the  regulatory  framework for
prompt corrective  action. To be categorized as well capitalized,  the Bank must
maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios
as set  forth in the  table.  There  are no  conditions  or  events  since  that
notification  that  management  believes  would  cause a  change  in the  Bank's
categorization.

Stock Option Plan

Effective  May 1, 1998 the  Company's  Board of Directors  adopted the Home Port
Bancorp,  Inc.  Directors  Restricted  Stock  Option  Plan  ("Plan").  The  Plan
authorizes the grant of non-qualified  stock options to "Participants",  who are
defined  as  Directors  of the  Company,  but  who  are  not  employees  or paid
consultants.  The Plan is administered by the Company's Compensation  Committee,
which must include at least two  non-employee  members of the Company's Board of
Directors.  A total of 50,000  shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock  ("Common
Stock")  have been  reserved for  issuance  under the Plan.  Options are granted
pursuant to a formula.  The formula  provides that each incumbent  member of the
Company's  Board of  Directors  be offered a grant of options to  purchase up to
5,000 shares of Common Stock,  20% of which vest upon grant,  with the remainder
vesting  ratably  over the next four  years.  Options  are to be granted at fair
market value,  calculated by averaging the bid and ask price of the Common Stock
over the twenty trading days prior to the date of the grant.  Options expire ten
years  from  the  date of  grant.  Options  granted  under  the  Plan may not be
exercised prior to May 1, 2000 without the written assent of the Company. In the
event of a change of control,  as defined in the Plan, all options granted under
the Plan shall immediately become fully vested.

Stock option plan activity is summarized in the following tables:

         The fair value of the 1999 and 1998 option grants were estimated on the
date of grant using the  Black-Scholes  option-pricing  model with the following
assumptions: dividend yield of 3.0%, weighted-average risk-free interest rate of
5.42% in 1999 and 5.72% in 1998, expected volatility of 28% and expected life of
4 years. The effects of applying SFAS 123 on the pro forma net income may not be
representative of the effects on pro forma net income for future years.

(12)     Pending Legal Matters

The  Company is party to certain  litigation  from time to time in the  ordinary
course of business.  Management is of the opinion that the aggregate  liability,
if any,  resulting from such litigation will not have a material  adverse impact
on financial condition or results of operations.

(13)     Fair Value of Financial Instruments (dollars in thousands)

The fair value of a financial  instrument  is defined as the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current  transaction between willing parties,
other than in a forced liquidation or sale.

         Quoted  market  prices are used to  establish  fair value when they are
available for a particular  financial  instrument.  In cases where quoted market
prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value
or other valuation  techniques.  Those techniques include  assumptions which are
highly  subjective,  including the timing and amount of future cash flows,  risk
characteristics,  economic  conditions and discount rate. Changes in assumptions
could significantly  affect the estimates;  accordingly,  the results may not be
precise.

         Financial instrument fair value estimates,  methods and assumptions are
set forth below:

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value.

Securities

Fair values for securities,  including mortgage-backed  securities, are based on
quoted market prices.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock

The  carrying  amount  of  stock  in  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  of  Boston
approximates its fair value.

Loans

The fair value of loans was  estimated  for groups of similar loans based on the
type of loan, interest rate characteristics,  credit risk and maturity. The fair
value of performing  residential and commercial  mortgage loans,  including both
fixed and  variable  rate  loans,  was  determined  using  discounted  cash flow
techniques with year-end  interest  rates,  incorporating  estimated  prepayment
factors.

Accrued Income Receivable
The carrying amount of accrued income receivable approximates its fair value.

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits,  NOW and savings  accounts,  advance payments
from  mortgagors  and money market  deposits  are, by  definition,  equal to the
amount  payable on demand at the  reporting  date  (i.e.  their  carrying  value
amounts).  The fair value of fixed rate  certificates  of deposit are  estimated
using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies year end interest rates at
which similar  certificates were issued to a schedule of expected  maturities of
the outstanding certificates of deposit.
<PAGE>
Borrowed funds

The fair value of  borrowed  funds is  estimated  using a  discounted  cash flow
analysis,  based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rate for similar
types of borrowing arrangements.


32
<PAGE>
Off-balance sheet financial instruments

The fair  value of  commitments  to  originate  loans,  unadvanced  portions  of
construction  loans, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit is not
considered material.

         The  carrying  amounts  and  fair  values  of the  Company's  financial
