Item 2. ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

        As of the close of business on October 29, 1999, the Bank completed its
        purchase of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of New
        London Trust, FSB, including the three branches, pursuant to an
        agreement entered with PM Holdings, Inc., ("PM Holdings"), a wholly
        owned subsidiary of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company
        ("Phoenix"), and PM Trust Holding Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of
        PM Holdings. The acquisition occurred immediately after PM Trust's
        acquisition of all outstanding capital stock of New London Trust from
        Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.). Lake Sunapee Bank, fsb
        intends to use the property and equipment acquired in the same capacity
        as New London Trust, FSB. The agreements among the parties relating to
        this transaction were filed as exhibits to the Form 10-QSB for the
        quarter ended March 31, 1999.

        In connection with the acquisition, the Bank acquired the New London
        main office, Andover and Newbury branches of New London Trust with
        deposits totaling approximately $100 million and gross loans totaling
        approximately $81 million. The consolidated assets of the Company upon
        consummation of the acquisition of the three branches are in excess of
        $450 million. The acquisition was consummated after satisfaction of
        certain conditions, including the receipt of all requisite regulatory
        approvals and will be accounted for as a purchase under generally
        accepted accounting principles. The Bank paid $10,576,000 of a deposit
        premium.

Item 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

        This Form 8-K includes as exhibits certain financial information
        required under Item 7 which were not contained in Item 5 of the
        previously filed Form 10-QSB filed with the SEC on November 15, 1999.
        Lake Sunapee Bank did not purchase all of the assets and liabilities of
        New London Trust, FSB; therefore, financial statements for New London
        Trust, FSB are not presented.
