NOTE A-BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30,
1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
current fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the CFX CORPORATION (the
Company) annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.
NOTE B-INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Investments in debt securities that management has the positive intent and
ability to hold to maturity are classified as "held to maturity" and reflected
at amortized cost. Investments that are purchased and held principally for the
purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as "trading securities"
and reflected on the balance sheet at fair value, with unrealized gains and
losses included in earnings (see Note C). Investments not classified as either
of the above are classified as "available for sale" and reflected on the balance
sheet at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and
reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
For all periods presented, purchase premiums and discounts are amortized to
earnings by a method which approximates the interest method over the terms of
the investments. Declines in the value of investments that are deemed to be
other than temporary are reflected in earnings when identified. Gains and losses
on disposition of investments are computed by the specific identification
method.
The carrying value and estimated fair value of investment securities at
September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, follows:

NOTE C-TRADING SECURITIES
Trading securities consist of marketable equity securities and debt securities
which the Company intends to trade in the near future. Trading positions are
taken to benefit from short-term movements in market prices. Trading securities
are stated at fair value. Changes in fair value are reflected in trading gains
and losses within the consolidated statement of income. Gains and losses on
trading securities sold are computed by the specific identification method.

NOTE D-FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company uses certain financial instruments in managing the interest rate
risk included in the consolidated balance sheet. Futures and options contracts
are used explicitly for hedge purposes and are not undertaken for speculation.
The Company's intent and general practice is to liquidate (offset) futures and
options contract obligations before stated exercise or delivery dates through
established market transactions. The Company does not generally intend to
deliver or receive the securities underlying its futures and options contracts,
but may execute delivery or receipt if it is financially prudent to do so. The
specific financial instruments used are described below:
. INTEREST RATE EXCHANGE AGREEMENTS:
Interest rate exchange agreements (swaps) designated as hedges against future
fluctuations in the interest rates of specifically identified assets or
liabilities are accounted for on the same basis as the underlying asset or
liability. Accordingly, interest rate swaps designated as hedges against
floating rate loan portfolios (carried at historical cost) are reflected at
cost. Interest rate swaps which hedge the Company's trading securities
portfolio (carried at fair value) are marked to fair value through the
consolidated statement of income.
. FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS:
Interest rate futures contracts are entered into by the Company as hedges
against interest rate risk in its trading securities portfolio. These
instruments are marked to fair value with changes in value recorded through
the consolidated statement of income.
. FINANCIAL OPTIONS CONTRACTS:
Options premiums paid or received and designated as hedges against future
fluctuations in the interest rates of specifically identified assets or
liabilities are accounted for on the same basis as the underlying asset or
liability. Options contracts which hedge the Company's trading securities
portfolio (carried at fair value) are marked to fair value through the
consolidated statement of income.
The detail on the specific financial instruments used is as follows:
INTEREST RATE EXCHANGE AGREEMENTS
Commencing in 1993, the Company entered into agreements to exchange
interest rate cash flows with approved counterparties. Swap agreements
outstanding at September 30, 1995 are as follows:
ASSETS INTEREST INTEREST NOTIONAL MATURITY UNREALIZED
HEDGED RECEIVED PAID AMOUNT DATE LOSS

Mortgage loans Fixed - 5.50% Variable - $25,000 11/23/96 $(125)
held in portfolio 6 mo. LIBOR
(Rate: 6.1875%)
The effect of this swap agreement is to lengthen the repricing period of
certain variable-rate mortgage loans.
FINANCIAL OPTIONS CONTRACTS
The Company uses financial options to hedge interest rate exposure
generally on secondary mortgage market operations mortgage loans held for
sale. At September 30, 1995, the Company held put options (the option to
sell securities at a stated price within a specified term) on 30-year
Treasuries totaling $9 million (unrealized loss of $123,250) extending
through December 1995 for mortgage loans held for sale.
Net gains (losses) on trading securities, included separately in the
consolidated statements of income, are summarized as follows:

Derivative instruments are monitored continually to assess market price changes.
On an at least monthly basis, rate change analyses are done in order to assess
potential market risk in changing interest rate environments. When the price
volatility of derivative instruments varies from the price volatility of assets
being hedged, positions are adjusted to maintain an appropriate match.
The Company includes all off-balance sheet and derivative positions in its
analysis of interest rate risk. Increases and decreases of both 100 and 200
basis points are analyzed in order to determine expectable changes in earnings
and market values. Volatility in these analyses is maintained within policy
guidelines.

SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
NOTE E-ACCOUNTING CHANGE AND RECLASSIFICATION
ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN
On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (`SFAS'') No. 114, ``Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan'. The Statement defines an impaired loan as a loan for which it is
probable that the lender will not be able to collect all amounts due according
to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. An impaired loan is required to
be measured on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's
obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent. Substantially all of the Company's loans which have been
identified as impaired loans are maintained on nonaccrual status whereby
interest income is recognized only when received.
The Statement is applicable to all creditors and to all loans, except large
groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for
impairment and loans that are measured at fair value. Accordingly, the Company
has not applied SFAS No. 114 to its consumer loans and residential real estate
which are collectively evaluated for impairment.
SFAS No. 114 also limits the classification of loans as in-substance
foreclosures to situations where the creditor actually receives physical
possession of the debtor's assets. Accordingly, on January 1, 1995, the Company
transferred $798,000 in loans previously classified as in-substance foreclosures
and $131,000 of the valuation allowance for foreclosed real estate losses to
nonperforming loans. These amounts were also retroactively reclassified in the
December 31, 1994 balance sheet to conform with the current presentation.
The adoption of SFAS No. 114 had no significant effect on the Company's
assessment of the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses.
At September 30, 1995, the recorded investment in impaired loans and leases
totaled $10,049,000, of which $3,028,000 related to loans with no valuation
allowance and $7,021,000 related to loans and leases with a corresponding
valuation allowance of $3,684,000.
ACCOUNTING FOR MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
On May 12, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (`FASB'') issued SFAS
No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights. SFAS No. 122 is an amendment
of SFAS No. 65, Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities. SFAS No. 122
applies prospectively in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, to
transactions in which a mortgage banking enterprise sells or securitizes
mortgage loans with servicing rights retained and to impairment evaluations of
all amounts capitalized as mortgage servicing rights, including those purchased
before the adoption of SFAS No. 122. Earlier application is encouraged.
Retroactive capitalization of mortgage servicing rights retained in transactions
in which a mortgage banking enterprise originates mortgage loans and sells or
securitizes those loans before the adoption of SFAS No. 122 is prohibited.
In the second quarter of 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 122 as of January 1,
1995, which resulted in a $152,000 increase in gains on the sales of loans. Of
the total recognized in the second quarter of 1995 from the adoption of SFAS No.
122, $43,000 was related to mortgage servicing rights generated in the first
quarter of 1995.

NOTE F-ACQUISITIONS
On April 28, 1995, the Company acquired Orange Savings Bank, a Massachusetts-
chartered savings bank, headquartered in Orange, Massachusetts. Each of Orange's
724,412 outstanding shares of common stock was converted into .8075 shares of
the Company's common stock, resulting in the issuance of 584,963 shares of the
Company's common stock to Orange shareholders. In addition, the holders of the
outstanding Orange stock options (representing the right to purchase 81,049
shares of Orange common stock) received options to purchase 65,447 shares of CFX
common stock in exchange.
The acquisition was accounted for as a pooling-of-interest and, accordingly, the
consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the consolidated
accounts of Orange Savings Bank for all periods presented. Previously reported

23, 1995. The effective date of the stock split was July 24, 1995.
NOTE H-EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Primary and fully diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common
share equivalents with a dilutive effect. Common share equivalents are shares
which may be issuable to employees and non-employee directors upon exercise of
outstanding stock options.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
GENERAL
All information within this section should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-
Q. All references in the discussion to financial condition and results of
operations are to the consolidated position of the Company and its subsidiaries
taken as a whole.
CFX CORPORATION is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the
State of New Hampshire. The Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries are CFX BANK,
headquartered in Keene, New Hampshire and Orange Savings Bank, headquartered in
Orange, Massachusetts.
CFX Bank's direct subsidiaries, both of which are wholly-owned, are CFX CAPITAL
SYSTEMS, INC. (CFX CAPITAL) and CFX FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. (CFX FINANCIAL).
CFX CAPITAL's wholly-owned subsidiary is CFX MORTGAGE, INC. which engages in
mortgage banking. CFX FINANCIAL owns 51% of CFX FUNDING L.L.C. (CFX FUNDING),
which engages in the facilitation of lease financing and securitization.
The operating results of the Company depend primarily on its net interest and
dividend income, which is the difference between (i) interest and dividend
income on earning assets, primarily loans, leases, trading and investment
securities, and (ii) interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, which
consist of deposits and borrowings. The Company's results of operations are also
affected by the provision for loan and lease losses, resulting from the
Company's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses;
the level of its other operating income, including gains and losses on the sale
of loans and securities, and loan and other fees; operating expenses; and income
tax expenses and benefits.

LOANS AND LEASES - Cont'd.
Total loans and leases were $640,010,000, or 73% of total assets, at September
30, 1995, compared with $641,121,000, or 76% of total assets, at December 31,
1994.
The increase in commercial and consumer lending was offset by a decline in
residential and construction real estate loans, along with a decline of
warehouse lines of credit to leasing companies. In January and September of
1995, CFX FUNDING completed the facilitation of its two lease portfolio
securitizations. Leases securitized in 1995 totaled approximately $36,019,000
with outstanding loan balances of approximately $28,013,000. In addition to the
two lease securitizations in 1995, the Company sold lease portfolios that
totaled approximately $ 12,957,000 with outstanding loan balances of
approximately $10,328,000.
RISK ELEMENTS
Nonperforming assets are evaluated quarterly by management to ensure proper
classification and to confirm that the recorded carrying value of the assets is
reasonable and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
regulatory requirements, and the Company's policies. Loans are placed on
nonaccrual status when management determines that significant doubt exists as to
the collectibility of principal or interest on a loan. Moreover, loans past due
90 days or more as to principal or interest are placed on nonaccrual status.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained through charges to
earnings. Loan and lease losses recognized, and recoveries received, are charged
or credited directly to the allowance. The Company's management determines the
level of the allowance for loan and lease losses based upon a review of the
Company's loan and lease portfolio. This review identifies specific problem
loans and leases requiring allocations of the allowance and also estimates an
allocation for potential loan and lease losses based on current economic
conditions and historical experience.
Changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses are as follows:

Management considers the allowance for loan and lease losses to be adequate in
view of its evaluation of the Company's loan and lease portfolio, the level of
nonperforming loans and leases, current economic conditions and historical
experience with loan and lease losses.
TRADING AND INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Included in the trading portfolio for 1994 was the Company's wholesale leverage
program. The Company began this program in October 1993 and authorized $100
million to be invested in the program. The objective of this program was to
enhance the Company's earnings and return on equity through leveraging the
balance sheet. However, as a result of significant loan growth experienced in
1994, and anticipated loan growth in the future, the wholesale leverage program
was completely liquidated as of October 31, 1994. In addition, management does
not anticipate using this program in the foreseeable future.
The program involved the purchasing of federal agency mortgage pass-through
securities, investment grade asset-backed securities, and investment grade
short-term commercial paper. The funding of these purchases was from short-term
repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advances.
The intent of this program was to take advantage of market mispricing, primarily
based on option adjusted spread differentials. Fundamental to the conduct of the
activities was the minimization of credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit
risk was controlled by purchasing federal agency mortgage pass-through
securities, investment grade asset-backed securities, and investment grade
short-term commercial paper. Interest rate risk was controlled through the use
of hedging instruments.
The leverage program activities, along with the related hedging instruments,
were considered trading, and therefore, all securities were carried at fair
value. As a result, both gains or losses on sales and adjustments to fair value
were recorded in the consolidated statements of income as a net gain (loss) on
trading activities.
To determine the success of these activities, the Company calculated a total
return consisting of interest income and fair value changes of the investments
and hedge instruments net of interest expense incurred in funding the
activities. Hedge instruments, primarily including futures and options contracts
and interest rate swap agreements, were used to produce a net asset duration of
nine months or less. Settled positions were funded with borrowings of similar
duration to the net asset duration.
The following table illustrates the results of this program for the periods
indicated:

======== ===== ======== ====
Over the past twelve months, the Company has increased average demand deposits
by $12,642,000 and average interest bearing rental deposits by $8,175,000. The
majority of the increase in overall deposits is the result of two de-novo New
Hampshire branches opened in Gilford (December, 1994) and Manchester (June,
1995). In addition, as a result of fixed rate deposits (time deposits) becoming
more attractive to our customers, the Company has experienced a shift in
deposits from shorter-term variable rate deposits (savings, NOW, and money
market accounts) to longer-term fixed rate deposits.
The increase in brokered deposits funded asset growth and offset a decline in
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.

NET INCOME & NET INCOME AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCK
Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $2,188,000
and $5,754,000, respectively, compared to $1,552,000 and $4,396,000,
respectively for the same periods a year ago. Net income available to common
stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $2,188,000, or
$.30 per share and $5,665,000, or $.80 per share, respectively, compared with
$1,486,000, or $.22 per share and $4,195,000, or $.63 per share, respectively,
for the corresponding periods a year ago.
The increase in earnings was primarily due to increased core earnings (net
interest and noninterest income). The stronger core earnings are the result of
an $48 million, or 8.06%, increase in loans and leases over the past twelve
months, and an increased focus on the generation of noninterest income. However,
a portion of the increase in core earnings was offset by a higher provision for
loan and lease losses and higher operating expenses in 1995 compared to 1994.
Total core earnings were $10,749,000 and $31,398,000, respectively, for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to $9,216,000 and
$27,109,000, respectively, for the same periods a year ago. The Company's net
interest margin of 4.10% for the three months ended September 30, 1995 increased
from 4.02% for the corresponding period a year ago.
Contributing to the increase in noninterest income was the adoption of SFAS No.
122, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights. In the second quarter of 1995,
the Company adopted this SFAS as of January 1, 1995, which resulted in a
$152,000 increase in gains on the sales of loans. Of the total recognized in the
second quarter of 1995 from the adoption of SFAS No. 122, $43,000 was related to
mortgage servicing rights generated in the first quarter of 1995.
NET INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME
Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $8,409,000 and $24,748,000,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared
to $7,896,000 and $23,358,000 for the same periods a year ago. The increase in
net interest income in the 1995 periods was principally due to higher average
interest earning assets and higher demand deposits.
The increase in average interest earning assets resulted principally from growth
in loans and leases (see `Financial Condition - Loans and Lease'' section of
this Management's Discussion and Analysis), as loan and lease demand increased
in the current environment.
The interest rate spread in the 1995 periods declined from the 1994 periods
principally as a result of increases in the cost of deposits and borrowed funds.
In addition to interest rates paid for certificates of deposit increasing over
the last nine months, the Company's deposit customers have shifted funds from
variable rate deposits (savings, NOW, and money market accounts) to the higher
rate certificate accounts. Although the interest rate spread declined in 1995,
the net interest margin remained constant in the 1995 periods compared to the
1994 periods as a result of the increase in demand deposits in 1995 compared to
1994.
Falling short-term interest rates are having, and are anticipated over the near
term to continue to cause compression with the Company's interest rate spread
and net interest margin due to interest earning assets repricing more rapidly
than interest bearing liabilities. This expectation is based on the fact that
one year adjustable rate mortgages will begin repricing to lower market rates
while deposit rates are not likely to decrease as rapidly in a lower interest
rate environment. In addition, with fully indexed adjustable rate mortgage loans
carrying higher interest rates than new 30-year fixed rate mortgage, the Company
may experience higher prepayments from adjustable rate mortgages refinancing to
a fixed rate mortgages, and therefore, requiring the Company to reinvest the
cash flows at lower yields.
PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
The amount of provision for loan and lease losses is determined by management
through its periodic review of the Company's loan portfolio. This review
includes an assessment of problem loans and potential unknown losses based on
current economic conditions, the regulatory environment and historical
experience.
The provision for loan and lease losses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995, was $345,000 and $975,000, respectively, compared to $50,000
and $62,000, respectively for the same periods a year ago. The higher provision
for loan and lease losses in 1995 is principally the result of continued growth
in the loan portfolio, the change in loan mix from residential to commercial and
consumer, and the higher net charge-offs in 1995 compared to 1994. Total net
charge-offs amounted to $737,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995,
compared to $503,000 for the same period a year ago.
At September 30, 1995, nonperforming loans stood at $8,937,000, or 1.40% of
total loans and leases, compared to $7,801,000, or 1.22% of total loans and
leases, as of December 31, 1994. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a
percentage of nonperforming loans as of September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994
amounted to 87.23% and 96.89%, respectively.
OTHER INCOME
Other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 totaled
$2,490,000 and $7,130,000, respectively, compared to $1,470,000 and $4,088,000,
respectively, for the same periods a year ago.
The net gains (losses) on trading securities between the 1995 and 1994 periods
are summarized as follows:

====== ====== ====== ======
For a discussion on the Company's wholesale leverage program, see the
`Financial Condition'' section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis.
The increase in service charges on deposit accounts is due to an increase in
fees and enhanced collection practices. Lower gains on the sale of loans for the
first nine months of 1995 is due to lower volumes in the first half of 1995
generated by the Company's mortgage banking subsidiary, CFX MORTGAGE. The lower
volumes are directly related to the increased interest rate environment and the
corresponding lower consumer demand for loan products. However, in the third
quarter of 1995 interest rates decreased and volumes increased, realizing
increased gains on the sale of loans. The lower gains on the sale of loans in
1995 was offset in the second quarter through the implementation of SFAS No.
122, `Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights.'' (See ``Note E'' to the
`Unaudited Notes'' to consolidated financial statements.) In the second quarter
of 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 122 as of January 1, 1995, which resulted
in a $152,000 increase in gains on the sales of loans. Of the total recognized
in the second quarter of 1995 from the adoption of SFAS No. 122, $43,000 was
related to mortgage servicing rights generated in the first quarter of 1995. The
increase in other income from leasing activities is due principally to fees
generated by CFX FUNDING and the amortization of deferred credits relating to an
investment in lease residuals.
OTHER EXPENSE
Other expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 totaled
$6,941,000 and $21,468,000, respectively, compared to $6,771,000 and $20,008,000
for the same periods a year ago. The increase in other expense was primarily
attributable to the increase in salaries and employees benefits, losses on the
sale of real estate investment properties in the first and second quarters of
1995, and costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of Orange Savings
Bank. The higher salaries and employee benefits are the result of normal salary
adjustments, higher medical costs and lower deferred salary costs in CFX
MORTGAGE pertaining to loan origination. In addition, contributing to the higher
salary and employee benefits was an increase in capacity in both commercial and
consumer lending, along with new employees hired for the de novo New Hampshire
branches opened in Gilford (December 1994) and Manchester (June 1995).
However, the above increases in other expense were offset by a $424,000 (pre-
tax) insurance premium refund from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC). The FDIC's Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) surpassed its congressionally
mandated reserve ratio of 1.25 percent of insured deposits during the month
of May, 1995.The new assessment rate schedule for the BIF, which substanti-
ally lowers rates for most banks, thus became effective June 1, 1995,
enabling the FDIC to refund excess premiums already paid by BIF-insured
institutions for the four-month period June 1, 1995 to September 30, 1995.
It is estimated that the reduced insurance premium on an annual basis will
save the Company approximately $1.2 million (pre-tax).
INCOME TAX
Income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 were 36.82%
and 35.75% of pretax income, respectively, compared to 35.20% and 37.55%,
respectively, of pretax income for the same periods a year ago. The effective
tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were lower because of
higher tax-exempt income, tax credits pertaining to low-income housing and the
reversal of a $117,000 valuation allowance relating to Orange Savings Bank's
capital loss carryforward.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The Company's primary objective regarding asset/liability management is to
position the Company so that changes in interest rates do not have a material
adverse impact upon forecasted net income and the net fair value of the Company.
The Company's primary strategy for accomplishing its asset/liability management
objective is achieved by matching the weighted average maturities of assets,
liabilities, and off-balance sheet items (duration matching).
To measure the impact of interest rate changes, the Company utilizes a
comprehensive financial planning model that recalculates the fair value of the
Company assuming both instantaneous and permanent parallel shifts in the yield
curve of both up and down 100 and 200 basis points, or four separate
calculations. Larger increases or decreases in forecasted net income and the net
market value of the Company as a result of these interest rate changes represent
greater interest rate risk than do smaller increases or decreases in net fair
value. In connection with these recalculations, the Company makes assumptions
regarding the probable changes in cash flows of its assets, liabilities, and
off-balance sheet positions that would be expected in those various interest
rate environments. Accordingly, the Company adjusts the pro forma net income and
net market values as it believes appropriate on the basis of historical
experience and prudent business judgment. The Company endeavors to maintain a
position where it experiences no material change in net fair value and no
material fluctuation in forecasted net income as a result of assumed 100 and 200
basis point increases and decreases in interest rates. However, there can be no
assurances that Company projections in this regard will be achieved.
Management believes that the above method of measuring and managing interest
rate risk is consistent with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
regulation regarding the interest rate risk component of regulatory capital.
LIQUIDITY
The Company maintains numerous sources of liquidity in the form of marketable
assets and borrowing capacity. Interest bearing deposits with other banks,
trading and available for sale securities, regular cash flows from loan and
securities portfolios and Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston borrowings are the
primary sources of asset liquidity. At September 30, 1995 interest bearing
deposits with other banks totaled $11,641,000 and trading and available for sale
securities totaled $38,710,000.
Because the Company's bank subsidiaries maintain large residential mortgage loan
portfolios, a substantial capability exists to borrow funds from the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Boston. Additionally, investment portfolios are predominantly
made up of securities which can be readily borrowed against through the
repurchase agreement market. Relationships with deposit brokers and
correspondent banks are also maintained to facilitate possible borrowing needs.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Federal regulation requires the Company to maintain minimum capital standards.
Tier 1 capital is composed primarily of common stock, retained earnings and
perpetual preferred stock in limited amounts less certain intangibles. The
minimum requirements include a 3% Tier 1 leverage capital ratio for the most
highly-rated institutions; all other institutions are required to meet a minimum
leverage ratio that is at least 1% to 2% above the 3% minimum. In addition, the
Company and its bank subsidiaries are required to satisfy certain capital
adequacy guidelines relating to the risk nature of an institution's assets.
These guidelines established by the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC are
applicable to bank holding companies and state chartered non-member banks,
respectively. Under the "risk-based" capital rules, banks and bank holding
companies are required to have a level of Tier 1 capital equal to 4% of total
risk-weighted assets, as defined. Banks and bank holding companies are also
required to have total capital (composed of Tier 1 plus "supplemental" or Tier 2
capital, the latter being composed primarily of allowances for loan and lease
losses, perpetual preferred stock in excess of the amount included in Tier 1
capital, and certain "hybrid capital instruments" including mandatory
convertible debt) equal to 8% of total risk-weighted assets.
As of September 30, 1995, the Company's Tier 1 capital to asset ratio was 9.16%.
In addition, the Company's Tier 1 to risk-weighted asset ratio and total capital
to risk-weighted asset ratios were 15.33% and 16.60%, respectively.
