                                     PART I

Item 1.  Business of The Hibernia Savings Bank

The Hibernia Savings Bank ("Hibernia" or the "Bank") is a Massachusetts
chartered stock savings bank founded in 1912.  The Bank's main office is located
at 731 Hancock Street, Quincy, Massachusetts, with branch locations at 52
Coddington Street, Quincy, Massachusetts, 51 Commercial Street, Braintree,
Massachusetts, 1150 Washington Street,  Weymouth, Massachusetts, 101 Federal

Washington Street, Stoughton, Massachusetts.  The Bank has Loan Centers at 730
and 731 Hancock  Street, Quincy, Massachusetts, and 51 Commercial Street,
Braintree, Massachusetts.  The Bank's administrative office, and finance
department are located at 730 Hancock Street, Quincy, Massachusetts.  The Bank's
primary market area is  the South Shore and, includes the following communities;
Boston, Canton, Stoughton, Randolph, Avon, Holbrook, Hull, Milton, Quincy,
Braintree, Weymouth, Hingham, Norwell, Hanover, Marshfield, Scituate, and
Cohasset .

The Bank is primarily engaged in attracting retail deposits from the general
public and borrowing funds, primarily from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and using
these funds to originate and invest in loans secured by first or second mortgage
loans on residential real estate,  to originate or participate in commercial
real estate loans, to make small business loans, and to make investments in
securities.  The Bank also originates and services residential mortgage loans
sold into the secondary mortgage market and originates consumer loans for
inclusion in its loan portfolio.  At December 31, 1995  assets totaled
$346,865,213, with deposits of $282,787,249 and stockholders' equity of
$22,824,616.

Management believes that providing quality financial services and products in a
personalized manner along with maintaining a community orientation have long
been characteristics of the Bank which have resulted in customer recognition and
loyalty.  The Bank seeks to develop multiple relationships with its customers
through an experienced service staff and offers a wide range of financial
products and services to meet the demands of the Bank's existing market area and
target customer base.




LENDING

The loan portfolio of The Hibernia Savings Bank continues to be  the primary
earning asset of the Bank.  The Bank, throughout 1995, continued its focus on
originating residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial business
loans and consumer loans for inclusion in the Bank's portfolio, as well as
originating residential real estate loans for sale into the secondary mortgage
market.  The Bank believes that providing retail, and commercial lending
services to its community holds great potential as each banking office is
located in an active business district.  The Bank's loan portfolio totaled
$210,968,694 before unearned discounts, deferred fees, and reserves at  December
31, 1995.  This represents an increase of $45,054,736  or 27.2% from
$165,913,958 at December 31, 1994.  The loan portfolio represents approximately
60.8% of the Bank's total assets.  The loan portfolio consists of 53.3% in
residential first and second mortgage, 37.5% in  commercial real estate  loans,
8.0% in commercial business loans and  1.2% in consumer loans.

The Bank's present policy is to sell the majority of its fixed rate residential
real estate loan originations into the secondary mortgage market.     The Bank
primarily originates various types of adjustable rate loans for inclusion in its
own portfolio although  the majority of adjustable rate residential mortgage
loans originated are also eligible for sale in the secondary markets.

RESIDENTIAL FIRST MORTGAGES

The Bank offers various owner occupied residential first mortgage loan products,
including, but not limited to, one, three  and five year conforming, non-
conforming and Jumbo adjustable rate mortgage loans and seven, ten, fifteen,
twenty  and thirty year fixed rate mortgage loans.   In addition the Bank offers
adjustable rate residential mortgage loans and short-term notes on non owner
occupied residential properties.  Residential mortgage loans are defined as real
estate loans secured by both owner occupied and non owner occupied mortgages on
one to four family homes and condominiums. During the year ended December 31,
1995, the Bank originated approximately $58.8 million in residential first
mortgage loans of which approximately $12.9 million were sold in the secondary
mortgage market.

At December 31, 1995 the majority of the Bank's residential real estate mortgage
loan portfolio was secured by properties located within Massachusetts or  within
contiguous states.  Underwriting standards are consistent for all loans.  The
underwriting of one to four family owner occupied residential real estate loans
is performed, in most cases, in accordance with the standards prescribed by the
Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") and the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC").    Underwriting of other residential real estate
mortgage loans is in accordance with the Bank's Loan Policy which is reviewed
and approved annually by the Board of Directors.  The Bank's present policy is
to require title insurance to insure the validity of its first mortgage liens.
Escrow accounts are generally required to ensure the timely payment of  real
estate taxes.  Private mortgage insurance, in almost all cases, is required on
loans in excess of  90% of the appraised value of the property.  In addition to
origination charges and closing costs, borrowers generally also pay for the cost
of property appraisals and credit analysis.

Residential mortgage loans are written for an amortization period not to exceed
thirty years. Residential mortgage loans normally remain outstanding for less
than their full term, primarily due to prepayments and property sales.

RESIDENTIAL SECOND MORTGAGES

In addition to residential first mortgage loans, the Bank also makes term
residential second mortgage loans in amounts up to 70% of the appraised value of
the property in excess of the first mortgage balance for terms not to exceed
fifteen years.  These loans are written on an adjustable rate basis and reviewed
every one to three years and on a fixed basis up to fifteen  years.   In
addition, the Bank originates adjustable rate second mortgage loans in the form
of Home Equity Credit Lines for inclusion in its portfolio.  Underwriting of
residential second mortgage loans is in accordance with the Bank's Loan Policy
which is reviewed  and approved annually by the Board of Directors.




During the year ended December 31, 1995 the Bank originated approximately $1.9
million of second mortgage loans.  As of December 31, 1995, the Bank had $4.2
million of residential second mortgage loans outstanding, which were primarily
Home Equity Credit Lines.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE

The Bank originates both commercial real estate loans and participates with
other banks in securing commercial real estate loans.  During the year ended
December 31, 1995 the Bank originated and purchased approximately $27.2 million
of commercial real estate loans.  Commercial real estate loans are defined as
multi-family residential properties, retail space, office buildings and certain
types of industrial properties.  Commercial real estate mortgage loans are
generally written for an initial note term of three to ten years or on an
adjustable rate basis, amortized up to twenty-five years.  Underwriting of
commercial real estate mortgage loans is in accordance with the Bank's Loan
Policy which is reviewed  and approved annually by the Board of Directors.   As
of December 31, 1995 the Bank had $79.1 million of commercial real estate loans
outstanding.

COMMERCIAL  BUSINESS LOANS

The Bank's commercial business loan portfolio at December 31, 1995 totaled $16.9
million. During the year the Bank originated $13.8 million in loans.
Commercial loans are defined as small business loans, loans secured by business
assets, and owner occupied business loans.  Commercial loans are generally
written for an initial note term of three to five years on a variable rate
basis. Underwriting of commercial loans is in accordance with the Bank's Loan
Policy which is reviewed and approved annually by the Board of Directors.

CONSUMER LOANS

The Bank's consumer loan portfolio at December 31, 1995 was $2.5  million
before unearned discount and reserves.  Consumer  loans consist primarily of
personal consumer loans, both secured and unsecured, education loans made under
the Massachusetts Higher Education Assistance Corporation program, Visa and
Master Card, overdraft lines of credit, passbook and stock loans, and home
improvement  loans. Consumer loans are written over various terms, but the
average life of a personal loan is approximately two to three years in length.
Consumer loans originated during the year ended December 31, 1995 totaled
approximately $2.0 million.

INVESTMENT  ACTIVITIES

Investment income is the second largest source of income for the Bank.  The
Bank's investment portfolio, including short-term investments, securities held
to maturity, and securities available for sale, totaled $125,300,270 or 36.1% of
total assets at December 31, 1995.  This represents an increase of $13,718,345
or 12.3% from December 31, 1994.  Income from investments, principal reductions
and maturities, represent a major source of liquidity to fund loans and meet the
short-term cash needs of the Bank.

The Bank's investment portfolio consists primarily of mortgage backed securities
totaling $77,565,687 or  61.9% of the investment portfolio which are held to
maturity. Securities available for sale consist of FHLB Notes, FHLMC Notes and
Common Stock which totaled $40,676,183.  In addition, the Bank maintains a
modest position in certificates of deposits and federal funds when there is
available cash.  The $77.6 million in mortgage backed securities at December 31,
1995  yielded an average  return of  5.44%.  Payments of principal and interest
are received monthly on the mortgage backed securities, which provide an ongoing
source of cash.  The Bank had approximately $39.9 million in  FHLMC and FHLB
bonds and notes which were yielding an average of 7.47%.  At December 31, 1995
the market value of the Bank's portfolio was less than book value by $857,000.

DEPOSITS AND OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDS

Savings deposits continue to represent the major source of the Bank's funds for
lending and other investments.  In addition to deposit flows, other sources
include loan amortization and prepayments, loan sales in the secondary market,
sales and maturity of investments, operating revenues, and borrowings.  Deposit
flows can vary significantly and are influenced by prevailing interest rates,
economic conditions and pricing  by the Bank and its competitors.  Borrowings by
the Bank may be used on a short-term basis to cover reductions in normal sources
of funds and may also be used on a longer term basis to support expansion of
specific investment activities. Aggressive price competition for retail deposits
within our local market area dictated, from a cost standpoint, that we utilize
borrowing as an alternative funding resource.   At December 31, 1995 total
borrowings amounted to $38,968,000.

SUBSIDIARIES

The Bank at December 31, 1995 has a wholly owned subsidiary known as Kildare
corporation.  Kildare holds investments in limited real estate partnerships and
is the sole owner of four subsidiaries, Athlone Corporation, Donegal
Corporation, Mayo Corporation, and Roscommon Corporation. These corporations
were used for Real Estate Management and are currently inactive.

The Bank, at December  31, 1995, also has a wholly owned subsidiary known as
Limerick Securities Corporation.  This corporation was formed solely in order to
invest in securities in which the Bank could invest pursuant to Sections 2 and 3
of Chapter 167F of the Massachusetts General laws.

The Bank, at December 31, 1995, also has a wholly owned subsidiary known as
Meath Corporation.  This corporation was formed to undertake the construction
and sale of a condominium project in the western part of Massachusetts and is
currently inactive.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 1995 the Bank employed 84 full time and 10 part-time
employees, none of whom were represented by a collective bargaining group.
Management considers Hibernia's relationship with its employees to be excellent.

COMPETITION

The Bank faces extensive competition, both in originating loans and in
attracting deposits, from other savings banks as well as co-operative banks,
commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, and other
financial service businesses.

Competition for loans comes primarily from other savings banks, co-operative
banks, savings and loan associations, commercial banks, and mortgage banking
companies. The Bank competes for loans principally on the basis of interest
rates and loan fees, types of loans originated, processing time, and the quality
of service provided to borrowers.



In attracting deposits, the Bank's primary competitors are other thrift
institutions, commercial banks, mutual funds, and credit unions.  The Bank's
branches attract deposits from the communities in which they are located.  The
Bank's attraction and retention of deposits depends principally on the quality
of its service and its ability to provide investment opportunities that satisfy
the requirements of investors with respect to rate of return, liquidity, risk,
and other factors.  The Bank also competes for these deposits by offering
competitive rates, convenient locations, and convenient business hours.

Management believes that providing quality financial services and products in a
personalized manner along with maintaining a community orientation have long
been characteristics of the Bank which have resulted in customer recognition and
loyalty. The Bank seeks to develop multiple relationships with its customers
through an experienced service staff and offers a wide range of financial
products and services to meet the demands of the Bank's existing market area and
target customer base.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Bank does not maintain a separate research and development department or
budget.  A number of employees of the Bank, as part of their job responsibility,
spend varying amounts of time developing new products and  new  services.  The
amount of time spent cannot be measured and as a result no estimate is made.

REGULATION

The Bank operates under Massachusetts General Laws and is subject to
supervision, examination, and regulation by the Commissioner of Banks and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC").  Deposit accounts at the
Bank are insured by the FDIC up to a total of $100,000.  As an insurer of
savings accounts the FDIC issues regulations, conducts examinations, requires
the filing of reports, and generally supervises the operations of institutions
to which it provides deposit insurance (see Item 7 for further discussion).  The
approval of the FDIC is required prior to any merger or consolidation, or the
establishment or relocation of an office facility.

All deposit accounts in excess of $100,000 are insured in full by the Deposit
Insurance Fund, a corporation created by an act of the Massachusetts legislature
in 1932.  The Bank is also subject to additional regulations by the Federal
Reserve Board ("FRB") with respect to the maintenance of certain nonearning
reserves.

The Bank is also subject to federal and state statutory and regulatory
provisions covering, among other things, security procedures, currency
reporting, insider and affiliated party transactions, management interlocks,
community reinvestment, truth-in-lending, electronic funds transfers, truth-in-
savings, and equal credit opportunity.
